Isn't the feed and search bar not working a Google problem rather than an issue with this launcher?

This Google issue is reported on several of the launcher threads here on XDA and the usual workaround for this happening is to clear cache and data of the Google app in your device settings / apps / Google.

I've never had an issue with the search bar or the feed, using p-ify or not, but that's a suggestion I've seen mentioned many times in response to your issue, or worse case scenario uninstall any recent Google app updates.
[Android Apps and Games] megatomic:
v6 build 16 working well on my P2XL running DP2. The only issue I see is that the Google app version of the At A Glance widget is "broken" again in that tapping the date doesn't open the calendar. This is with the latest stock version of the Google app (8.1.12.21). I may try to install the beta version to see if that fixes it if I get bored later on.

Edit: the latest Google app beta (8.3.7) does fix the At A Glance bug I posted about above. It also causes the text the disappear on the Google Feed when Dark Mode is enabled (as previously reported).
[Android Apps and Games] rizki_Alkaf:
Thank you for you response.

I will try your suggestion

Edit:

Not working, I've cleared Google app cache and data, but google feed and search bar keep stop working sometimes :(

How do you get the weather and date to show up? Running build 16 on Nexus 6p with 8.1
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
Read the faq
[Android Apps and Games] dev094u:
Testing on OnePlus 5

I m still facing the below issues.

1. Temperature is not getting displayed home screen day and time.

2. While searching for an app If I am removing the entire serach phrase and retyping something, the menu window is getting minimized
[Android Apps and Games] hickmanje2:
Today's build 16 fixed the crash for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
What temperature? You meant weather? You need to give location permission for that. No2 doesn't happen to me
[Android Apps and Games] dev094u:
Yes, weather. I have given location access still doesn't show. I have installed build 16 last night and now instead of searching installed app it's searching the web. Is this the intended feature?
[Android Apps and Games] rizki_Alkaf:
Check your Google feed, is it showing your weather?
[Android Apps and Games] dev094u:
Yes I could see in my Google feed.
[Android Apps and Games] rsocon:
I find weather disappears occasionally. Go to the Google feed, customise and disable and re-enable weather. Should then reappear on your home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
Then maybe try a reboot. The search bar searches apps, but they are only shown below the links. When you press enter it searches the internet
[Android Apps and Games] dev094u:
It was working fine in previous builds like that. Now it only shows Google search results. I have attached a screenshot of the same. ( I have Instagram instatalled )

Am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
Because build 16 is the latest for v6, 23 is for v5.
[Android Apps and Games] skinneejay:
Thank you for the quick response. Where is V6 at? On the original post I don't see it.

Unless I'm being really blind. Which is very possible. I'm on the S9 so should I stick with V5 or jump to V6?

Thank you.

THANK YOU! Exactly...

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

Why do angry people even bother? Over-see the repeated questions or just don't answer them. Why some are trying to play authority and/or answer in a rude, educating way, so-to-say, is what makes me wonder.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Exactly. Some if not most if not even all of the people asking repeated questions are new to the whole concept of XDA, installing APKs, and such, so not everyone knows how things go in here or even that there is a FAQ section. Other people don't know how and where to look for answers regarding some tech issues so they just go on and ask kindly. There is a search feature in XDA, but there is also a post feature... I'm not trying in any way to justify not reading the FAQ section and notes, but educating people on the public is just not educating them. Wanna be helpful and "educational"? PM people. No need to tell them what to do and what not to do in the sight or knowledge of others.

This is my last post about this, I'm done with this conversation, if you want to continue about this, please do not quote or mention me in your (or anyone else) replies. This is totally OT, and should not be discussed here.

Why the bother? Why they do not ignore those repeating questions? I don't know, maybe because they follow this (or any) thread because they want some new informations about new release, or they want to help other users with new not-repeating questions, issues. And reading tens of new posts every day is a bit hard, mostly when they are same. Some users ask question which is already answered many times, and if they do not get answer they repeat, bump, it again and again... And then some people may be a bit angry.

In my opinion, answers like "read the OP", "search, it was answered many times", "read few last post", etc. are not rude or angry, even if they are ended with the exclamation mark.

The forum rules are clear:

Reading the OP is the first "must to do it" thing when someone new comes here, if the right information is not there, XDA has a good search in thread feature, so is not so hard to search and find the answer...

Also as you said, if you see a post which you think is angry or rude, just "over-see it or just don't answer".
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad Jebreeni:
Ok how about people start using the report button to report people asking repeated questions since it's a part of the code of conduct of XDA? I'm here for beneficial content too btw, but I tend to over-see all the repeated posts.

Regarding over-seeing rude and angry posts, being rude to people is NOT like asking a repeated question in any way.

Please don't answer to this post or refer my name anywhere (to everyone reading this). Thank you, have a nice day/night.

I think you should stay with v5. And use pixelized theme and pixelized icon in the samsung theme to replace icon pack to make your s9 a lot closer to pixel experience. Using v6 ruined the icon pack size. Well atleast thats how i find it on my s8.
[Android Apps and Games] Ayman ae:
I think lurkers around here need to get off their high horse and realise that there are new comers and beginners coming everyday.

And the behavior of this thread is highly toxic to regulars and newcomers alike and is making things worse as time goes.

No need to be mean and vulgar to less informed people that don't waste their life 24/7 refreshing the thread for updates.

Also sucking the dev off won't result in more updates so don't act so entitled.

Sadly this thread isn't the only problem but the whole website.

if you don't like a post ignore it or report it.

I have same issue. RR ROM Oreo 8.1.0. Please help
[Android Apps and Games] Bat-Maniac:
Now, that Pixel Launcher (v6 build 16) is finally running on my Nokia 7 plus, it would be great when the new gestures navigation would be working, too.

I think the problem why gestures conrol is incompatible with custom launchers is becaused it is managed within the preinstalled launcher (Quickstep on the N7+).

Today I've read that Nova's latest vesion would have fixed it for Android P dp2, so I tested it... it didn't work for me.

I've compared custom launchers activities with them of the prebuild launcher and found this:

Maybe an activity for recents has to be added within the launcher?

__________________

Another bug is that the Quickstep launcher shows up in recents when another launcher is set to default:

Halo again

I found the cause and a way to make it work again: At least on my device it has something to do with enabling app suggestions and hiding apps.

- if app-suggestions enabled, hiding apps won't cause Google app to crash when taping on search bar in app drawer.

- if app-suggestions is disabled, but no apps are hidden, Google app won't crash by taping search bar in app drawer.

- if app-suggestions is disabled, hiding apps will lead to a Google app crash.

- enabling app suggestions will fix the behaviour.

- making the hidden apps visible again without enabling app-suggestions won't fix the behaviour

- clearing cash of google app doesn't fix it either.

AOSP extended roms already have a pixel launcher installed.

You have to remove that one or use magisk to install this beside the installed pixel launcher.
