[Nexus 10 General] Tito2007:
That's an old update , today there was another one.
[Nexus 10 General] LocoRobo:
So if you update Google Search in Play store, it automatically updates launcher?
[Nexus 10 General] oldblue910:
Guys, keep in mind that if you're going to run the GEL on a device not called Nexus 5, these are the things you're going to encounter until it's in the Play Store and ready for production.
[Nexus 10 General] NeoMagus:
Read the thread, we know that, the new update messes up the rows and columns on Nexus 10.. he asked for the old version
[Nexus 10 General] Hereisphilly:
I don't think the update to Google search broke the layout, just the launcher shell apk. This happened for me 1st when I installed the latest PA gapps
[Nexus 10 General] MrSteez:
Same thing here... Hopped on my Nexus today and had a Search update then all the sudden my grids are all messed up...

Had to change my layout a bit but I still like the GEL look better even with the weird change for now. Hopefully there will be a change for the better soon though
[Nexus 10 General] nemtan:
It's the Search update. I've had the latest GEL for a good while (since it first became available) and it got messed up when I installed the Search update from Play Store yesterday.
[Nexus 10 General] Hereisphilly:
Ah okay, PA Gapps must have had the search update rolled in with the GEL update too.

Apparently its broken on the N7 too, let's hope Google is just experimenting and its sorted out soon!
[Nexus 10 General] JosephRaphael:
Roll-back from Google Search 3.1.24 to 3.1.8

If you are facing problems with GEL, Install/Roll-back to Google Search v3.1.8 [APK posted on the topic], Make sure you turn Google Play Store "auto-update" for Google Search OFF in order to stay on v3.1.8 and prevent it from updating to 3.1.24 automatically until google release a fix.
[Nexus 10 General] sv452:
GEL reminds me of my iPhone interface. :D
[Nexus 10 General] weezalxc:
I noticed that Google released an update to search on December 20th. Has anyone tried installing this update? Will this still break GEL?
[Nexus 10 General] CrocadileUT78:
Thank you for posting this, I was eager to try GEL. Now that I have though, does anyone else find it kinda sluggish? I think I'll stick with Apex Pro.
[Nexus 10 General] JosephRaphael:
It's still 3.1.24... they just updated the description in the play store listing.
[Nexus 10 General] weezalxc:
Dang. Thanks. Glad I didn't try out the update.
[Nexus 10 General] jimmypop13:
I installed this on my nexus 7 today and everything is running flawlessly. I'm curious, will I have to constantly update this app myself or will it be updated with the Google search app, or will it even matter since the majority of the app is in Google now?
[Nexus 10 General] JosephRaphael:
GEL updates

Everytime Nexus 5 gets a major Update you'll have to manually update GEL, as for the Google search App it will be automatically updated via play store (you need both Apps).

I'll keep this Topic updated with any future GEL update.
[Nexus 10 General] wh4s4ngo:
hope an update comes

Damn unfortunately I updated hope fully another update is coming to fix it
[Nexus 10 General] iNoteD:
Does Google Experience Launcher work for Android 4.0.4 Tablet?
[Nexus 10 General] oldblue910:
No. It requires Jelly Bean.
[Nexus 10 General] iNoteD:
Damn that sucks :(
[Nexus 10 General] ThatGuy94:
It should work on any device running Kit Kat but I'm not sure about Jellybean. But it works great on my Galaxy S3 running CM11
[Nexus 10 General] Warnahly:
i installed the launcher and the google search app

when i open the launcher i get " PLACEHOLDER TEXT google search not found "

any ideas
[Nexus 10 General] abheshekk:
Hi,

I have installed and using GEL on Note 3 kitkat Touchwiz stock rom, I foung one issue though. I am not getting notification badges on phone,messages app. any way to resolve it.
[Nexus 10 General] abhinavmn:
Is there a way to reduce the icons size? The icons are way too big and look weird...
[Nexus 10 General] djind:
There are no badges in stock android. It's all on the status bar.
[Nexus 10 General] Langduscher:
Another launcher (this is just the way GEL looks like) - or may be Xposed will give you that option.
[Nexus 10 General] Gregzi:
Indeed... You can try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kk.launcher

It looks the same, it is based on AOSP 4.4, with some modifications, etc.

It works on all 4.+ devices.
[Nexus 10 General] rajat_delhi:
Is it possible to get only the ok google feature and not the whole GEL on note 3?
[Nexus 10 General] yets:
Utter?
[Nexus 10 General] oldblue910:
No, but never fear! I heard in a future OTA update, you'll be able to say "OK Samsung" and have S-Voice come on! Because S-Voice is WAY better than Google voice search! ;)
[Nexus 10 General] BilawalBilal95.bb:
it's a little bit unlikely that samsung will copy google's way but instead make something new and google voice search is as good as s-voice and in my opinion Ios's Siri is way better than both these .....:silly:
[Nexus 10 General] i_am_the_one:
Is there a way to use gel in landscape mode on my nexus 10?
[Nexus 10 General] abdel12345:
Landscape worked for me with the old version of Google search. Not sure about the new. Just turn on autorotate. It should turn by itself.
[Nexus 10 General] JosephRaphael:
I recommend using Google Search 3.1.8, it works better in landscape mode. Make sure you have Auto-rotate "ON".
[Nexus 10 General] glaudrem:
I remember the "hello Galaxy" feature from S-voice being way before any "ok google".
[Nexus 10 General] jdjta:
New google search app: https://app.box.com/s/bdjki9062pw4rw8q1qwh .

- Renames the launcher to Google Now Launcher

- Hotword now also working for English (UK)

- Fixes the 'bug' with dissapearing icons in down right corner of the screen on reboot

[Nexus 10 General] wk123:
I rebooted after installing Google Search

Using Google Search 3.2.16.1006154

Launcher 0.10.1.920880
[Nexus 10 General] i_am_the_one:
I tried that, I still don't get the landscape mode. I run omni and wonder if that could be why.
[Nexus 10 General] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - it looks like it's just Search that is updated - Although the AndroidPolice article suggested that the GEL was updated as well.. Being able to import icons from another Launcher.... would be sweet!

Looking at the article - And looking at the GEL on my phone - I don't see the options available in the Screen Shots?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...dated-to-v3-2-meet-the-google-now-launcher/?1
[Nexus 10 General] Pithism:
Yea ive tired and i cant get the import option like android police has reported.
[Nexus 10 General] 3volution:
Have you tried clearing data on both Google Search and the GEL?

That's the only way I could get it to show.
[Nexus 10 General] shaggyskunk:
I'll give that a shot ;)
[Nexus 10 General] 3volution:
I probably should have mentioned if you do clear data,it will erase all arrangements on your home screens and therefore,have to start fresh.

In case you wasn't aware.:)
[Nexus 10 General] Pithism:
i did try clearing data for google search, and the launcher but it didn't work. I just get the normal welcome screen from before.

Its no biggie. I prefer a launcher that can change rows and columns, and this one cant, just wanted to see how my import launcher looked like.
[Nexus 10 General] seed63:
Hello , don't know if I post in the good thread but here my question : I'm on stock rom kk and stock launcher . I can't change the number of home screen so I have some screen without anything on it . I though that the number of screen should be adapted automatically with the needed of place with kk .

Could someone tel me if it's normal ?

PS: sorry for my English

[Nexus 10 General] jeffallin:
on my Nexus 5 I have an extra home screen with nothing on it, so I'd say that's normal
[Nexus 10 General] seed63:
OK thank you . I ' d like to have only one home screen but I don't like to use alternative launcher and I don't need to flash this tab already so I'll manage with it .

Envoyé de mon GT-I9100 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Nexus 10 General] JosephRaphael:
You can remove the unwanted screens, just drag any icon from home screen to the empty screen (the one you want to remove), don't drop it yet, then drag it back to the home screen and drop it there. The empty screen should disappear.
[Nexus 10 General] JosephRaphael:

Does the stub get updates? Where does the stub come from?

I'm sorry but what is the GNL ?

Another question , how can we hold the letters on keyboard like that GSETU ( sory I don't know the correct world ) ?

If you are taking about ALL CAPITAL LETTERS there's an arrow button that points up on the keyboard just double tap it then you will have CAPLOCK. Read you're nexus manual if you want basic information on working you're tablet.

OK thank's . I didn't make the double tap fast enough .

Good to see it on the store now but still only 6 columns...huge blank spaces on the sides. Gotta use Xposed GEL Settings to increase it back to 8.

No support for Tab's what's up with that,anybody see any improvements.
[Nexus 10 General] planetf1:
Ok so I installed 0.10.1.920880 a week or so ago - this was shipped on the nexus 7 back in december

The version mentioned here is 0.9.1039417

I'm assuming the versionn I have is newer?

Anyone know?

It's working nicely on my Samsung S4 running the latest open europe 4.4.2 leak

Configured with British English and "ok google" works fine from any page of home screen
[Nexus 10 General] jdjta:
The version I posted is 1.0.9.1039417 ... It's the first officially released in Play Store by Google. So this is the newest...

Why would someone install this if they already have a Nexus device which comes with this by default? Or is this something different? Can you hide apps and app labels with this launcher?

Because the only device that comes with it by default is the Nexus 5! That's why you have to install it on the Nexus 10.

Completely remove the google now launcher?

How can I completely remove all of the Google Now Launcher system files so that when I reinstall the lollipop Google Now Launcher it doesn't show all my home screen presets and folders and widgets from the previous version. Does anyone know what directory stores these files? Thanks
[Nexus 10 General] 3DSammy:
Maybe you can take the guess work out of it by using this app "System app remover (ROOT)https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en". Obviously you will need root but removing any system app required root. It has an informative interface including sorting the list of apps by name, size, ... etc. The Google Launcher is listed as "Launcher" with the familiar icon.

I've successfully used it on Lollipop to remove several systems app (85MB so far). It backups the apks to user storage (a trash can) and has a feature that allows you to restore what you removed. Titianium Backup and ES File Explorer both have an uninstall app feature. I own both but still prefer System app remover.

I will suggest at least installing the free Nova Launcher version prior to the uninstall step so that you have some launcher for android to use. Especially right after removing Google Launcher. You can uninstall Nova when you get the device properly set up.
[Nexus 10 General] ultimatdan:
Thank you for this. However, i have no problem uninstalling the app. Its just that every time that I do it doesnt take with it some of the files that stores the user data of homescreen setups and stuff. It just uninstalls the app but not the preferences and stuff you had set. So when when i uninstall the google now launcher, and then reinstall the newer google now launcher...all my homescreens and icons and stuff are set back up automatically the way they were before I had uninstalled...which is what im trying to prevent. So I just assume there has to be a folder or file that controls that.
[Nexus 10 General] yets:
If you want rid of existing homescreens etc try uninstalling GOOGLE NOW/SEARCH. I set up my homescreen on Google Now Launcher (took me an hour to set it up) etc but then Google now started playing up. I uninstalled it and when I went to reinstall it had deleted all my homescreens etc from Google Now Launcher. I was pissed but it may help you.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] drocksmash:
Hello,

I have been looking around the forums and struggling with the galaxy gear i picked up today.

I have a verizon note 2, that is rooted and using a jellybean ROM. It appears that this ROM does not support NFC, and that looks to be the only way to install gear manager.

I have downloaded numerous 1.5 and 1.2 and 1.4 gear manager APKs from these forums, and have been able to set up gear manager on the phone but it appears to not be working so well. I cannot seem to get any notifications pushed to the gear, and cannot get the weather to show on the gear.

I was going to return the gear and just be done with it, but I am now wondering if anyone has any insight into whether or not I could get a simpler stock based ROM that enables NFC and has no conflict with the gear and my note 2?

I am using the stock messenger app, and no text messages come to the gear
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] drocksmash:
Update

I contacted samsung to ask if there was any way to get the most recent gear manager without NFC and they said there was not. I am wondering if anyone can post a working APK, and if anyone can link me to a verizon note 2 rom that they are using and having no issues with the gear.

The phone calls go through without issue, but no text message or any other notification seems to be pushed through.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Your rom has no NFC ? This is... weird ?

Regardless, why not simply install a stock samsung rom ? You can install the gear manager straight from the samsung apps store and your done ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] drocksmash:
I am not sure how to find a stock rom that will work without causing problems. I just assumed the ROM did not support NFC as it was not working, the options are there in my settings.

Does NFC require the stock battery and back cover? I have an extended battery, but was able to find my stock battery without the cover and it would not connect.

I am currently downloading jeallybeans_b22 to flash and see if there are any issues - would you mind linking me to a rom that you think would be issue free?

Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
I don't no dude exactly, Varys from phone to phone.. I remember reading in the past some aftermarket battery's prevent NFC from working.. which is more than likely your problem.

Also your not going to receive notifications unless you use a rom based on Samsung, otherwise you will be forced to use third party applications in order to receive notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] drocksmash:
Ok ill try and find a rom that will work better.

Can you post your gear manager apk?

Im not sure if the original back is required for nfc use but even with the stock battery the cradle did not prompt me anything.

Pretty bummed this isnt working but I do know its my fault for having a rooted note.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
What, No its not because of root..

Dont over complicate things, its simply because your using a aftermarket battery.

Also you dont need nfc, you can manually connect the gear via bluetooth via the galaxy gear manager app.... ALTHOUGH I highly highly highly recommend you get a Samsung based rom !

No offence intended although you dont really seem like your very confident with android & know what your talking about, I recommend using a Samsung rom first until you understand how the gear actually works..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] drocksmash:
No offense taken at all, I have rooted every android device I have had but almost always run intro problems. I would definitely say I am not confident in this whole process. The problem I am facing now is that all of the roms in the verizon section for the note 2 are not really clear on what is close to stock and what is not

While my current rom is touchwiz based I am still trying to find one compatible with the gear.

When I said it was my fault for being rooted I just meant my fault for not understanding how to find a stock rom to revert to.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
2 key ingredients to getting gear working are android 4.3 and touchwiz

nfc is only used to make connection easier, you can alwys just select to connect manually. I'm pretty sure nfc antenna is part of battery
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] drocksmash:
Without downloading the gear manager apk from someone who posted it on XDA I could not get the phone to prompt anything and the connection failed.

After downloading the apk for gear manager I was able to get the limited connectivity set up. I am guessing this is because the ROM is not very compatible and I will try to find one that works better.

Thanks for the help guys, sorry for wasting time. I cannot find the OEM battery cover for the phone, just the OEM battery and neither work when trying to bump the cradle to it. What a silly way for samsung to deliver the download... I don't understand why there is no option for a download from them.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
No, that is not how it works. You need the gear manager to connect and you just download this from the Samsung store (or I've posted all the apks). Anyway, nfc is just used to automatically pair devices and that is all, nothing else - it's simply less user interaction this way

EDIT: nfc looks to be part of the back cover (http://allaboutsamsung.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Note2_wireless_charging_2.jpg)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
You can download gear manager directly from the app called "samsung apps", its considered bloat to some developers.. so it may be stripped out of the rom your using.

Exactly.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] drocksmash:
Update

Thanks for all the help guys. I got a 4.3 ROM and still had issues so I'm just going to return it.
