Nexus 7 2013 5.1: Google Photos Not Working - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hi,
Another problem since updating my Nexus 7 (2013 wifi version) to Android 5.1 when I open the photos app (Google) it is just a blank white screen.
Then when I go to recent app screen to try and bring it back up it just freezes the recent apps screen. I can then go back to home screen then back to recent apps and swipe it away.
Anyone else having this issue?
Any suggestions?
Is it yet another bug that needs fixed for Android 5.1.1?
Also I notice in the apps settings I have 2 photos apps.. See image.

One is version 1.1.40301.
The other is 1.0.2
Please help?

paranoid android 3.99 pie controls

Hi guys,
I'm on the latest version of paranoid android and pie controls has a problem. Every time I close an application in the recent apps button, it the phone goes back to the home screen. But when I'm at the home screen and I go back to the recent apps button, the last app i closed shows up as it was not closed then a half a second later, the screen says no recent apps. What I'm trying to say is that the rom thinks there is a app open but then it changes screen and says no recent apps. So does anyone know how to fix this? Paranoid android 3.99 pie controls.

[Q] Google Experience issue

I have noticed that when I use the Google Experience launcher with my N7 ( Flo ) the icon in the farthest right of the launcher tray always disappears after a reboot. I have tried different ROMs but still get the same issue. Any ideas?

It's a known bug I've read, should be fixed in a future update, not at least to me it's not a big deal, I don't reboot that often

To add to the above comment... it is the Google search update after search version .318 that is causing the problem with the GEL. If you uninstall the search update or find the .318 search APK you can fix this problem but you will have the search bar laying over the top of any icons/widgets along the top row in landscape mode. Plus it will restore the 6x6 grid instead of the 5x5 you have now.

[Q] GEL launcher issue on 8.4

Hi All,
I am using the google launcher on my 8.4 running cyanogen nightlies, though this issue happened on the stock ROM as well.
The issue I am having is that occasionally I can see 1 pixel of the google now screen on my first home page. Has anyone seen this issue before and have a fix?
Have attached a screenshot. It's pretty hard to see in the screenshot but irritatingly obvious on the tablet screen.
TIA
what a ugly launcher...
get back to stock asap:good:

I had this in my previous nexus 10 when I installed GEL. However, I don't see this in my nexus5, so I guess it's related to low optimization for tablets. I think I remember it dissapeared when swipping left and right again but it appears again when you lock and unlock. No workaround I think

[Q] Nexus 7 5.0.2 update issues

So I updated my nexus to 5.0.2 today and all went well, not rooted or unlocked bootloader, stock everything. So everything looks fine except for the launcher. The app drawer in android L is supposed to be a white square with apps, but unfortunately mine looks like the app drawer from kitkat even though I updated to android L. Also on the homescreen, the menu icons are supposed to be transparent, well mine is not they are encapsulated by a black bar. I already tried wiping the cache via recovery and still no luck. Checked app updates and there was nothing.
Forgot to mention, chrome is supposed to create tabs in the recent apps drawer, but instead it looks like the one from android kitkat. I feel like this was an incomplete installation. Factory reset is last resort for me so are there any easier fixes out there? I do not want to unlock bootloader/root either.
Thanks!
I think you need to install the google now launcher from the play store, that will give you the white app drawer & should sort the icons on home screen as well. The launcher that lollipop comes with on nexus 7 is pretty much the same launcher that was in kitkat.
The chrome setting merge tabs & apps is only on phones at the moment AFAIK & not on tablet as yet.

Marshmallow - Old-Style App Drawer?

I flashed the OTA using wug without any issues.
Reports as: Android 6.0, Build MRA58K
I've noticed the app drawer appears to still be the old-style black card interface, vs the new vertically scrolled white interface. Also, there were only 1-2 wallpapers available in this image.
The Nexus 7 image appears to be incomplete. My Nexus 5 (also flashed w/Wug) appears to be complete.
Anyone notice the same?
I grabbed a fresh copy of Google Now Launcher from the Play Store & all is working.
Did not need that last step for my Nexus 5 update.
