Until today, all I had displayed at the top right of my home screen was the day and date. Now after trying to look something up via Maps whilst on the phone, I have weather info with the day and date underneath in a smaller font. Please, please, please can someone tell me how to remove the weather info? I don't want or need it there! I have bog standard, up-to-date Android using the default launcher app. Thanks in advance.

I tried that. Upon reboot, it showed the time. But then just a couple of minutes later it switched to weather again :\

If you're rooted ... turn off the Pixel Launcher WeatherUpdate receiver and reboot. Since it never sees the weather info it shows just the date.

Use SD Maid. Others work well but can't think of any at the moment
Also
If you're adventurous, take a look at Evie Launcher - free but not frequently updated. I'm liking the gray transparent search bar and interface options over Pixel. A little old-school, but fits me along with Chronus widget for time/date/weather.
Old thread - new information......
So the latest "incarnation" of my original issue is that using Wi-Fi, I have the data and weather on my home screen. With cell data, I only have the date! This has only been the case since either a Pie patch or a Google app update towards the end of last year.
I still have my Pixel XL with all apps and Pie up-to-date. I also have every notification I can find turned off. Google Assistant, Discover, Location.
It really grates with me that Google refuse to give us all the option of what we can/want to display on our Home screen. It can't be that difficult!

Google is the new Apple. The "our way or the highway" mentality is really getting up there.
I'm on the pixel 2 xl February update 8.1 and I was wondering if anyone knew of a different way or app to take screenshots instead of the traditional volume down and power button. I used the button remapper by flar2 in the playstore and did not like it. Thanks in advance :good:
P Developer preview has it... finally!

I don't have an alternate suggestion for immediate use... but we now know that when Android P drops, the new way to take screen shots will be an option in the Power menu (e.g., choose between shut down, restart, screen shot) -- one hand / easy operation. You can try the developer build now, wait for beta in May (est), and it's generally thought that the official push will be sometime in Q3 -- maybe around August. I realize that Phone Years are even more accelerated than Dog Years, so five months feels more like five years, and some people will have bought and sold 3 phones by then. But at least we know what's coming in the official channel.

I use a Tasker command to take screenshots, and linked it to a navbar long press shortcut

I think you need root
You have to create a new task -> run shell -> /system/bin/screencap -p /path/to/screenshot

Is there any way you can send me a screen shot of the way you have it set up? I have root
I use everywhere launcher. It has a screenshot button you can add which allows screenshots on screens prohibiting the stock screen shot Ike banking apps.

Is your phone rooted, to use Everywhere Launcher to get around the prohibition of screenshotting certain apps, like banking, Threema, and others?
So, Verizon variants of the Pixel 2 XL are out of luck then?
Hi guys, i just got my pixel 2 today. I don't like to use the power button as much as possible when turning the screen off. I'm wondering if you there is an app for screen off which is compatible with the fingerprint unlock. I've tried several on the playstore but when i unlock the device it asks for my pin rather than going straight to the home screen.

If your rooted you can use a Nova launcher gesture. I also use this app to lock the screen and boot into whatever :good:

Just to add that Nova Launcher screen off gesture works if you're not rooted too.

True. But ya gotta wait for that time out thing
can bring gesture navigation bar from moto Z3 , Z3 Play to moto Z2 Force ??
It's already build in. Go to moto settings app and switch on gestures for fingerprint sensor. Then you can navigate with this. I use this already for weeks and love it. Best is that the visible area of the screen is much bigger and it feels great. I have tested android Pie for weeks ago and there it's not so good as on moto stock roms with oreo. I love oreo, hope Pie will never come. But ok, it must come. But we can live with that, right? Hope for a bug free android 9.0.1 edition. Oreo is easy to perfect
Edit: ok, sry, you mean the new moto navigation from Z3 edition series? That's not in Z2. Maybe there is a way to get it working? We will see
You are talking about the Pill geature navigation i got it. The thing is it is the feature of android 8.1 SystemUI on Moto Z3. Moto Actions is used to enable it. If someone mods the Moto Action and enable the button to trigger pill it wouldn't be of any use as we need Android 8.1 SystemUI. It could only be possible if we root ,mod both SystemUI and MotoActions but we have the Fingerprint Navigation , its preety close to it
i don't wanna use fingerprint to nav bar because i want to save vibration sensor
and my z play have burned screen i wanna save my new device z2 force
(now i use some assistive touch app but don't 100% work)

Z2 Force, very fast and very good. I use the fingerprint touch to navigate. Then you have a modern visible screen area and no burn ins at the bottom. And scratches, I haven't not one after very many month. So no additional screen protector needed. The newer Z2 Force seems not have this issue with the scratchable screen. Best phone I have ever had.
Oh sry, have read a second time. Ok, then I can't help you. Do how you like it

Save the vibration sensor? I use the fingerprint for navigation and it doesn't vibrate. You just turn it off in the settings.

oh , i just saw it can touch for more settings thank very much guy !
anyone facing gesture navigation "back" function, sometimes is back to home screen instead "back"? thanks
There is an app called "X Home Bar" and "X Home Bar Pro" (and other similar apps) that will give you a white bar along the bottom that will allow you to swipe left, right, and center up to navigate. These options that you can customize to your liking. I've found it to be handy and worked great on my Z2 Force.
Hi, all!
Saw this XDA article and decided to try these new Nord's live wallpapers on my OnePlus 7T.
It worked and I've liked these a lot, so I decided to create a Magisk module to use them instead of having to overwrite my original wallpapers. Since it works for me I thought that I should share it with the community.
Download : https://mega.nz/file/a0oShD5L#RFrOmut6Yezjuup75-quwf71dHz5gK8NrXe8ELd9jGQ
It works on OnePlus 7T but should also work on OP7, OP7Pro, OP7TPro, OP8 and OP8Pro. Try it out and let us know!
Thanks for the effort but this did not work for me....

Does any error appear when you install the module in Magisk Manager?

nope, it looked successful but after a reboot i still have older wallpapers. I even selected each one and set them as previous wallpapers just in case and still not working
thanks bro
I did get them to apply but it only animates on the lock screen, not in the home screen when I swipe between pages. Is that normal? Using nova launcher.

Can't really understand why. Do they show up on the wallpaper customization instead of the previous ones - like in the image in the first post?

You're right, it doesn't animate in home screen, only on lock screen and on the transition from lock screen to home screen. I'm a user of Nova Launcher too so I went ahead and tested it with OnePlus Launcher and it also doesn't animate on home screen. Maybe it's the current behaviour (and even in a OnePlus Nord it doesn't animate) or it's a bug that occurs only in this context but I can't really tell since I don't have a device to test it.

I believe these animate during unlocking of device then stop to be a static wallpaper like the miui animated planet walls that start in space and zoom into a static location background.

Working perfectly for me. And yeah, it's just a short animation then locks into a static wallpaper when it's done animating. But that's probably how it's supposed to be.
works very well on OP7T, thanks!
So I watched some videos of the Nord with the live wallpaper applied and the way it's SUPPOSED to work is the wallpaper is static on the lock screen and doesn't animate until the phone is unlocked. I don't know if that can be tweaked with this mod but that's how it's supposed to work.

Yes, like the miui 12 wallpapers. They animate then zoom into a static image again.

Thanks works great.
If after using the magisk module, it doesn't work, go to the zip filer and find the OnePlus wallpaper resources apk and install it. It'll show up updated
Currently using Android 11 in my OnePlus 7T (via Open Beta 2) and this module still works without any change.
