Google launcher bug in 4.4.2?

After I put 4.4.2 on my tablet i suddenly had icons and folders disappear, the clock widget won't remain in the center and my page with 2 widgets side by side no longer fit. Anyone else seen these bugs?

Same issue here. Have three folders on the left of the launcher and two on the right. When I add a new folder on the right of the launcher button, it disappears when I reboot same goes for any widgets
Oh and it's not a 4.4.2 issue, it's the latest version of Google search that's causing it. Not affecting my HTC One.

Same here. I received my OTA the first day it was out. All ran fine until today. Some apps disappeared from the home screen and GEL was replaced with the standard launcher. After a reboot, GEL was back but the apps were still missing. I added the apps to the home screen again and rebooted. The apps dissapeared again and so did GEL. Seeing how I don't have anything important on the tab, I just reset it and so far all is good.

Yes, lost icons. Now only 5 wide. Like the DPI was changed. N7 2013 fully stock, no root.

it's not 4.4.2 it's Google Search
Fortunately, I had a fresh backup right before Google Search changed the home screens AND fails to acknowledge "OK, Google" with a beep. The spoken search function still works, but there's no way to know it has engaged unless you're watching the screen.
I suggest you wait a bit with this update.....
Nexus 7 2013, stock, rooted, 4.42 (running well!), TWRP, Xposed, etc.....

Was using GEL when moving from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 and all was well.
But when i manually upgraded the search to the latest version (per the link below from androidpolice) that introduced some landscape UI changes to fix overlap of searchbar & widgets, almost all my widgets / pages / icons resetted. Not a big fuss and simply a one time re-setup again. OK Google works as it should - no difference though. BUT what i realised was that with a reboot, the 2 icons to the right of the launcher would stay while the 3rd would always go missing. Obviously a bug that needs reporting and fixing. Will search on google support later and report it if it's not been reported before.

Overall it's all still going good. There's been so many updates lately from Google, it's great to see such a high activity on development, releases and updates in a software.

hi,
i'm also having the same issue this morning. when I turn on the wifi, my playstore automatically updated all my apps and after the update, my folders, shortcuts, widgets and other home screen was missing. I think it was reset. I'm using the google home (kitkat experience for N7) downloaded from the other site.
I will be following some updates and fix with this thread.
Thanks!

I am having similar issues after an update to 4.4.2. But for whatever reason the build still reads as KRT16S

I just had this happen to me today. Came home, heard my Nexus update a few things automatically, checked my home screen and everything was screwed up, only 5 tiles wide, switched back to default launcher then back to GEL, still a little screwy, but just have to put all my folders back together. Did fix landscape rotation with the search bar in GEL. On 4.4.2.

Thought I was going mad but reading this make me feel better. I only have five wide icons after 4.4.2 looks like the resolution has changed. Wonder if it is set to nexus 5 res?
Edit: Went back to standard launcher for GEL and it is back to normal. 6 icons wide.

Fixed one thing and broke a bunch else. I guess that's what we get for beta testing.

Same problem here after Google search app update. Also, has anyone else had an issue with the camera icon dissapearing from the homescreen? Since the update issue everytime I keep adding the camera to the launcher bar it will disappear after I lock and unlock my N7...

It's not just the camera icon, the sixth icon on that row will eventually disappear regardless of the app it launches. Seems that it is trying to maintain the 5 across grid despite there being space for 6.

Confirmed, I had the same issue. Removed the Google Search update and everything is okay again.

Pixel Launcher on 5x

Question, I want to get rid of the Google search bar, looks like the Pixel launcher is the key.
I have found a couple apk files to install the pixel launcher on my 5x, BUT I want to know if:
1) my phone needs to be rooted
2) will installation of the pixel launcher on a 5x affect functionality of any other apps or the UI itself
3) is there another way to get rid of the search bar without having to do this?

Google search bar is a built-in function of the default Google Now Launcher. Changing launcher with another one which doesn't have the bar is the easiest way to remove it. Of course your phone doesn't need to be rooted, you can install the launcher apk just like every other apk. The installation of a different launcher affects just the home screen, it's a stand-alone app and you can remove it whenever you want.

ok great thanks.
I thought I had read that installing the pixel launcher will cause my Google feed/now to not work. and I use it alot to read articles/see my traffic/etc

Google feed is also part of the Google Now Launcher, but I think it's present in the Pixel launcher too. Just give it a try

probably stupid question, but do I need to uninstall google now launcher to install the pixel launcher?

It is present, but only In flashed version (Root needed) - apparently it has to be System app.
On the plus side - if you flash it, Google sees your Nexus as Pixel so you have unlimited storage In Google photos
(Edit: you can have Google now feed even In Pixel launcher from apk, just not when you swipe right - it is available through long press of home button)

Nope. After having installed another launcher when you'll press the home button the system will ask what launcher to use as default.
Don't worry about installing it, it's not a critical thing. It's just a normal application

Great! I was wondering if it was possible. Do you necessarily have to use the pixel launcher or do other methods exist?

Nova launcher can be customized to have the features of pixel launcher...

Nova is great at having the pixel launcher look, and even better. No Google cards on left swipe though. And no weather as well.

You can add the weather! I read how to in the comments of this article on Android Police earlier. Open Nova then long press the Volume Down Button to enable the "Labs" settings. Modify the remaining settings in Nova/Desktop.

I'll need to check out that Nova, I do rely on Google Now Launcher for weather, traffic, and news alot, so messing with that isnt appealing, BUT if I can make the Nova look like Pixel and work like the current Now launcher, I am all in.

mind blown

What I dont understand is why Google keeps the search bar in Portrait mode, but switches to the small circular buttons for both google search and voice in Landscape
To me the small buttons in landscape are a very nice design and is better than the pixel.
Oh well.....

DP3 UX Operation/Visual Differences

So far I've noticed the following. Note this list doesn't include obvious things like "the recent menu now has a clear all". Also I have put this here because I suspect some of the topics will be "where did x go"? Moderators, feel free to move this to the discussion forum if you want.
1. Unfortunately Google has severely toned down or else removed many of the navigation-related animations that were present in DP2. I loved them...
2. The color mode preview image in settings is now a hummingbird instead of simply a drab background.
3. The AOD now has the At A Glance weather image tacked onto the date portion. This includes color, as my display currently has a yellow sun mark.
4. Using gesture navigation, it is now much easier to actually call up the recent list: it kind of pops in place now, aided by haptic feedback that some on Reddit are already complaining about.
5. The "separation icon" that replaced the mini arrow above the homescreen's docked apps is now gone entirely.
6. Haptic feedback overall feels much stronger than before.
7. Some language-translation things have been fixed, yet new ones have appeared. For reference I have my phone set to Japanese and the "Support" tab in Settings is now listed in English whereas before the title was in Japanese, and the gesture navigation setting is now titled in Japanese whereas before it was in English.
8. The OS version is now listed as 9, instead of P.
9. The Sharing menu setting now includes a tab of "previously paired" devices.
10. The home screen now requires manual setting to allow rotation when auto-rotate isn't enabled.
11. The native scaling seems to have been adjusted (or broken) as the navigation bar-based clock seems to either be smaller than before, or else glitch between large and smaller.

Anyone know how to get rid of this? The squashed notification when the quick settings is fully expanded?

It's been there forewer if you didn't update Google app . . .
Since most of the users did, it dissapeared. For me it was there for the whole Beta 1 stage, earlier I didn't pay attention to it.
Now Playing now works consistentlly, when you double tap on the song, it takes you to Asistant directly with more info displayed.

Gboard on Android P DP builds - synch learned words missing

I'm not sure which build it started in (I think it was there in DP2) but in DP3 and now also DP4 with my P2XL I don't have the option available to me in Gboard settings to synch learned words. I have the same version of Gboard installed on my OP3T running OOS 5.0.3 and the option is there. Is this consistent with other users or do I have a problem with my device? I don't know if it's psychosomatic or not but it seems like the suggestions surfaced by Gboard are of less value on my P2XL than they are on my OP3T and I'd like to attribute this to the fact that I can't synch learned words. TIA everyone.

It's just not there. I have the settings page for the Dictionary but the part about syncing with my gmail account is completely missing.

So yesterday I opted out of the Android P beta program, installed the rollback OTA via the automated tool and set up my phone from scratch. The option to sync my Gboard dictionary with my Gmail account is still just not there. Maybe I should call Google support now that my phone is running Oreo again.

Just upgraded to Pie and issue is still prevalent. I'm on Gboard beta and I tried uninstalling and trying different apks to no avail. This is very frustrating as typing sucks as all my synced shortcuts are not there

Has anyone reported that to Google? I have seen this on a few AOSP Roms that this Option is completely missing. Most people wont even notice but it just sucks to not have the words you saved before.

I tried while still in the beta program and support wouldn't talk to me. I've gotten the official OTA and have since done a factory reset and the problem is still here for me, now I can hit up Pixel support again now that I am not running a beta OS.

I think I agree, this may be an account issue. I just set up my old OPO with LineageOS 15.1 and I have the same problem there. I wonder what Google can even do about this? I hope I don't have to make a new account to get this functionality back.

I don't think so. The biggest problem will be to bring it to their attention to actively keep them looking into this matter.
As a sidenote, I just Dirty flashed Pie on top of Oreo and still have the Option. I hope the get this fixed for you guys :/

Looks like this version of Gboard brings this option back as per this thread .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/google-gboard-issue-t3797307

This is indeed a lazy oversight on Googles Part. I remember the same thing happened with Google Photos. Remember the Option to have a floating Bubble on the Screen when you had taken a Photo with the GCamera? That was missing somehow after updating the App, going back to an older APK, activating the option and then update the App would make the option stick.

After official Pie was released, I still have the option just fine. [emoji53]

** SOLVED ** PIXEL 2 XL Apps and AR Stickers Not Working

Got the latest update 1st December 2018
AR Stickers work but cant record when active
Can take pictures but thats it?
Followed a few tuts on YT but ppl are using menu sliding from left my texts are at bottom
ie. Camera Video More
When choosing more it shows Playground
For me to access the Stickers
Also most of my apps when clicking them on home screen or appd drawer go to
Google Play and gives option to uninstall or Open ???
Why doing this and not opening straight away?

They've rebranded stickers to Playground. It's an add-on to the camera so that's why it's not listed in the app drawer.

Didn't have to enable anything. I noticed the video button was missing compared to the previous app so I figured long pressing did recording. Have you tried clearing app data? How about make sure all app permissions are on? If that makes a difference.

Yeah tried that
Have gave feedback on app as well as google feedback on the issue
As it seems to be a problem with some users

Might not matter at all because I don't see a possible connection but try changing to the pill home button (gesture navigation). That's the only thing I can see visually different from mine.
