downgrade to nova launcher 6? - Nova Launcher

has anyone been able to do this? When i tried installing a few different versions from mirror apk the settings screen will not open. the reason i want to use an older version is that the ability to change individual icons on the home screen was taken away on version 7

need apk for Screen Orientation Control Ver. 1.1

I have been more than happy not rooting and really enjoyed using the Screen Orientation Control app from Eflow Inc.....until updating the other day.
Now they have updated the app and the landscape screen now sets in the total opposite side of the Nexus 7. Now the bottom is the side where the power and volume buttons are. Because of the case I have and they way i use the Nexus, I cant accept this odd change.
Does anyone have or know where I could get the the Ver.1.1 apk? I could not find the 1.1 version file anywhere and do not think it is possible to "undue" an app update.
EDIT SEPT 19th. Now after uninstalling and reinstalling this app works correctly like it did originally.

You could always try emailing the app developer and asking them for it

Without root you can use the default launcher with full home screen rotation, gotta look for it, but its here somewhere in the n7 app section. They put it on the market I believe.
I'm using full home screen rotation with the default launcher and it works great! I did it the root way (adding a small one line text file) but its the same thing as if you use the launcher apk.

Then use a backup and restore app to save the previous version that worked for you.

I had uninstalled the app...then later the next day or two re-installed it. Seems to be back to normal now with the new 1.2 version, working correctly like it did from the start. :good:

Google now launcher rotation

gratz... i guess?
whats the point of this post? are you trying to tell us there is a new update to the launcher? are you saying you modded/hacked the launcher itself or made an edit to the build.prop to enable it? or have you simply used the search function and are telling us that procedures that are described in other (device-)forums/threads work for the 5x as well?
just wondering since in my opinion this is an option that would certainly make the experience with the 5x a little more fluent without using a third party launcher.
There was an update to the launcher and its the most glorious day of my ****ing life. Lonmg have i awaited the landscape mode in the google now launcher
Your welcome F.....s
What is the launcher version? I have 1.3.large and it tells me it's the latest. No rotation here..

from what i could find, it's actually not an update to the launcher, but rather the google app through which the launcher settings are managed.
my version (without landscape) is 5.7.14.19.arm64, the latest slowly being rolled out is 5.8.47.19.arm64.
could be wrong though.
anyway, my actual launcher version is the same as yours, and as far as i can see there were no updates of that pushed to the playstore. oh the waiting game.

Thank you and Google ! I was looking for this feature for ages :laugh:
Easier way to get rotation is to become a Google tester. The version that it will allow you to download has the allow rotation option.

Did you download it first to install (not install directly from link) and have install unkown sources checked...newer version must be removed first...also I have debugging checked (maybe that makes a difference).
Yeah didnt uninstall newer version. Apk downloaded for when I see the missing features. Thanks.

I think they are trying to slim software size for the new features on the 7...so they gut out apps they feel are unnecessary. I could be wrong though.

Samsung has responded to these criticisms. Action Memo will return in an update to Samsung Notes thatâ??ll roll out before late September.

As soon as the update comes, We can install the new version. Way to go, with the reviews and complaints to Samsung!
So the updated sketchbook comes with all the tools and brushes as the older versions except for the Note 3 version which came with some extras like the log and leaves brush tool as well as all the little people. The new update has the option to buy pro tools for 4.99 but so far I have everything working (I did not activate the free trial, I bypassed straight to the main screen). I am going to keep playing with it just to see if functionality becomes limited after trial period (just in case it activated trial anyways). Maybe the pro tools is a whole different set that aren't included in older versions. The app did force close a couple of times when I was trying to use a smudge tool over a spot that I had already smudged 4 times...
If anyone wants the 2.9.2 version that came with the Note 3 PM me and I'll send it to ya (in case you liked the leaves, logs, and peeps).

just wait a short time then go to playstore and look at your apps and you will see beta on the right... if it's available in your part of the world.. you can download
It shows, just says not compatible
They have the most recent beta on Aptoide. My phone shows not compatible for some bizarre reason but I had no trouble using the beta.
I haven't put it through all the paces yet. It converts all your Action Memos to normal notes at start up so if that bothers you for some reason don't run it. It seems to have some other enhancements with organization but still no Action Memo, tapping for note etc. I really wish we could get some feedback from Samsung about what the goal is here, why it is the arguably most popular feature is removed.
The beta notes about what is added by installing the extensions from within the app are completely inaccurate.
update: I actually think the note and folder tools are great. Some real mprovement with organization and fluidity of adding some things to notes. Just add back action memos!

[HELP] Do you recommend updating my phone?

I bought a Galaxy s9, a couple of weeks ago and the next update came:
G900ZHU2ARE6 / G9600OWA2ARE6 / G9600ZCU2ARE6
my question is, is it advisable to update it? or I wait for Android P?
Currently I have the G9600ZHU1ARBG version
Of course update it

Just curious, but why do you think it's not ok to update. I've seen very few if any problems with an official update.
I just did the update and I regret it so much. First of all, dozens of my apps don't work anymore. Most noticeably - Swipe Keyboard and Coinbase Wallet. Besides that, I can't apply custom themes from themeGalaxy anymore because the demo themes are limited to 10 minutes of use now. Good Lock refuses to work as well and I hate the new Quick settings and task window. Also getting random crashes on every other app now. My phone is entirely stock and not rooted. All in all, awful experience for me.

That was my initial thought. Luckily I managed to fix the app crashing issue (my custom launcher design was at fault). However, I had to revert to the standard theme and I'm not a fan of the new non-customizable task changer and notification bar. I'll learn to live with those, I guess. It's pointless to stay at an older Android version for such minor reasons.

Overall it is a huge upgrade over Oreo, few changes to adjust to but as is the way with updates, personally I prefer the new task changer and so on now, while weirdly when using Goodlock on Oreo I hated that design and always left it as stock
Update G9600
Go to Setup / update / manual update / search for update
The phone is loading the official Samsung S9 G9600 update.
(every month between 10 and 15 has an update)
In January promised update to Android PIE official.

My issues with the task changer are the fact that you can't swipe the apps down anymore (it now opens them instead of dismissing) and the inability of leaving the task changer by simply tapping the background. It just disrupts my "workflow" and I'm getting annoyed by it every single time. Oh, and I'm always locking my chat apps but now the unlock button is in the lower right corner of the app card, which is where my thumb usually sits when I scroll through - I'm constantly unlocking the app instead of switching to it.
But I'll get used to it, I guess.

I don't lock chat apps, and if I am closing recents, I just close them all using the "Close All" button anyway so that doesn't really bother me, just took a bit of time to get used to swiping side to side instead of up and down to scroll through them, but while I was running one of the beta's of Pie the close all button was missing so I got used to swiping up to close them anyway, like you say you adjust over time

That's my problem. Swiping up and down seems normal and about half the time I swipe up and close the app window. I believe someone suggested it and it got the standard canned response.

Can say the same here, feels sluggish. I updated it to Pie after hearing great stuff from others.
I'll see if clearing app data of most apps makes any difference.
On the official beta I'm not seeing any sluggishness at all but I do see others on it complaining about it.

Pixel 4 style launcher

Just got one l the one UI 2 beta update and looking for a pixel 4 style launcher to try the new Google gestures. I can't stand the Samsung home. Anyone know il of any yet.
Nova Launcher works great.
Lawnchair 2 is what you are looking for, exactly like my Pixel 3 XL
But none of these support the new android 10 gestures.
Action launcher is only one I know that supports the new gestures.

I just came over from a Pixel 3 and third-party launchers worked fine with native Android 10 gestures (including Lawnchair). This is a Samsung limitation.

It's a limitation of how long it takes OEMs to update. The pixel update for older devices didn't drop until the beginning of December. It's still an issue caused by Google's source, we are just waiting for the update that fixes it now.
Anyone tried Nova and One hand operation (samsung store) together?
One hand operarion may work as a replacement for google gestures. Also is useful to lock screen using a gesture

One hand and any launcher has always worked. You don't get the animation like you would on the new gestures though.
Frankly one hand has always been better but I also think a lot of people:
1. Get on the Android hype train and think "no one can do anything better than Google's implementation"
2. Are over whelmed by configuring one hand op
3. Think it's a replacement for one hand mode that makes the screen small and never bothered
4. Simply don't know about it or have good lock apps in their country
A few honorable mentions, the people that used it early on and didn't know you could make the gesture area invisible so they stopped using it and the folks that think it's too slow or not smooth.

It's not really the same, specially coming from other brands that have Android gestures working how it's supposed to be.

Because it's a completely different phone...
The fix hasn't been implemented yet on Samsung phones.
You ask that as if every oem holds hands and updates their software at the same time. Or as if it wasn't broken on the first phone to have Android 10 on it..
It was certainly broken and a fixed needed to be made for it, as far as why Samsung hasn't implemented it yet? I think that is a question for Sammy.
I have used one in the past called PixelizeD it's in the theme store I'm pretty sure it works just fine on both Android 9 and 10.
It's just a theme not a launcher but it gives you a pretty nice home screen.

You need to execute this adb command:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
OneUI2 is disabling this feature. Not the launcher.
Third party launchers like Lawnchair only "support" the full screen gestures, but they've not properly optimized it. You will get weird animations.
