I really want to use pixel launcher, but there's one thing that bothers me : I can't access google app when I swipe left from my home screen. I checked my settings and the feature is enabled, but it still doesn't work. Is there a way to fix this My phone is not rooted.
You don't have to be rooted. You need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. Though, you might as well root if you are going that far.

I like the slide unlock feature, but I would like to change the secondary (camera) option. Any way to make it a different app?
Yes and No.
Yes, if you are rooted, you can use a custom ROM that permits this. I am a CodeName Adroid user and you can set multiple 'targets' on the lockscreen that point to whatever app you like. You can also just change the one camera shortcut to point to something else. I am sure that many other ROMs allow for this too!
No, if you are not rooted. I'm not 100% sure on this, but there are no apps or command lines that allow you to change it without being rooted first!
My advice? Try CodeName Android as a new ROM. It's awesome!
Bummer. Thanks for the info!

you can use widget locker to do this, but it replaces the lock screen.
Just got the Nexus and I guess I'm just used to being on gingerbread for so long. I used to be able to see the unlock slider option and I had the choice between Unlock/Camera/etc. I can do this now, but when I do, it just unlocks. No security at all. If I set a pattern/pin/pass it just goes straight to that and completely bypasses the slide to unlock option. I'd like the option to unlock directly to my messages, gmail, camera or Google search. So I'm looking to be able to see the normal swipe to unlock with the 5 or so different options and then be taken to my pattern screen to confirm. I googled this and the only way I have seen people "fixing" this is to install third party applications such as go locker or widgetlocker, etc. I am wondering if there's a way to do this naturally on a system level without downloading an app?
Model: Toro
ROM: ParanoidAndroid JellyBean
Kernel: Francos kernel
Thanks in advance...

Possible? Very likely it is. Has it been done yet? Not that I know of. All I have ever came across are apps like Widgetlocker.
Hi guys is it possible to change lock screens ie with go locker or something similar, im downgraded and rooted, many thanks

Kind of?
I downloaded it using Mobogenie and the custom lockscreen does work, but the bottom bar pop ups and then after you unlock or use one of the options it brings up your Amazon lock screen
So you can have a fairly nice lock screen, then have the navigation bar popup, then unlock it, then have to unlock again. This is all I've found so far
I used Next Lock Screen by Microsoft. It's in the play store. It's perfect because it let's me use the auto hibernate (non root) feature without leaving my phone totally insecure. It's also kind of cool with all its features. I can't speak on how it affects battery life. I don't use my fire phone at all. I just installed my apps and wait patiently for someone much smarter than me to get root on 3.6.8
Hey all,
I've been using an app called Swipe Navigation and heavily recommend it. For those who don't know, it's a great way of saving space at the bottom of the screen and a great way of navigating through the phone and using custom actions, if you want them. Do check it out!
For those who are using it, is there any way to get rid of the "System UI has stopped working" message? It appears about twice a day so not a big deal, but still not ideal for a €750 phone.
Thanks!
Contact the developer of the app.
Done through Play Store. I was wondering if there's some app setting which may be causing the conflict.
I loved this App on my Nexus 6P. If i remember correctly, it worked best via Xposed. Hopefully we see Xposed for 7.1.1 sooner than later.

Sadly there's no way to permanently disable the stock navbar for now, there are apps that only hide it.
I found mod in this thread for NMF26Q which also works on NMF26O. This mod is the framework mod with zero dpi navbar. This works for me. I finally got rid of navbar without systemUI crashes.

I GOT THE OTA Android 10 update a couple of days ago and Nova launcher no longer functions completely.
I am customizing the Pixel launcher and would like to remove the Google search bar on the home screen.
I would also like the screens to wrap around.
Can I do these things?

Can't do those things with the stock pixel launcher to my knowledge. However, a modified pixel launcher might do the trick if your rooted. Look in this thread, and talk to @Tulsadiver to see if he can make one for you. What exactly isn't Nova launcher doing for you? Seems to be working fine for me.

You can't remove Google search bar because it's part of Google launcher

You can remove the Google search bar, resize the icons and choose how many columns you want in the all-apps area and how many in the hot spot on the home page by using my Pixel Launcher zip installer. Plus background colors and text colors.
Choose one of the bases for No-Google search, flash anything else you like, lastly, flash complete installation. There will be a zip file created on your sdcard in a folder called ozop. Flash that via magisk manager.

The search bar is not removable from the Pixel Launcher dock, and the Pixel Launcher does not support infinite scroll for screens. You'll have to use a custom launcher to do that, which leads to my question: what's not working properly on Nova Launcher? I've encountered no troubles with it on Android 10.
I have a Verizon edition so bone stock. Android 10 broke my adb command as well as the Custom Nav app. Hopefully issue is resolved soon.

I use 3 button navigation and when I display all the tasks , there isn't a 'close all' option. There isn't even an 'X' to close them individually. I sent a note to the dev and the reply was this is an issue for all 3rd party launchers until Google changes something.
I am full Verizon stock and don't want to root. At least not yet...

I did notice this but didn't think it a big enough deal to mention. To remove an individual page however, swipe up. The recents screen is gesture-based.
If you're using a Verizon device, then there's no root for you at all unless you were lucky enough to get a device that mistakenly was unlockable. Verizon locks their bootloaders.
Thanks for the tip on the swipe up. I hadn't tried that and it works.
I am on the VZN network but bought the phone from Google. OEM unlock toggle in developer options seems to work.

Smart man. :good:
It's only if you buy the device from Verizon that you're screwed.
Hi, thanks!
Sadly, no ozop folder is created, after flashing one of the base no search bar and complete installation.
I'm using orange fox, also tried running the complete installation zip in magisk, no result.
Any recommendation I would appreciate, I can't stand the goog e search bar.
Have a good day!
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 (Unlocked) which is running Android 10. I was looking to remove the Google search bar as well.
All I did was long press on the bar itself, a menu then pops up with 2 options
1) Information about google search
2) Remove search bar from home screen.
So I press option 2 and hey presto it is gone. Have just done a reboot to check that it doesn't come back and it hasn't!
Could it really be that easy?????!!!!

On a Samsung it's possible as they aren't a Google Pixel and don't use the Pixel's stock launcher.
