[Q] app to add to the homesceen?

I'm trying to customize the homescreen and i have a dock with a little "+" for add, but theres no app to assign to it that can open up the little box like when you press menu>> add or is there something I'm not seeing that i can assign that is like the menu>>add? or is there and app that can simulate the "add" thing where the box pops up showing widget, application, etc

Which launcher? I would try just dragging an app from the home screen onto the dock.

IIRC a long press on the + should give you what you want.

Go Launcher EX v2.71 (Tab Optimized)

I gave go launcher another shot since the released a newer version that isn't a beta. been using all day and its NICE! I only have noticed 2 bugs, which is a slight freeze in screen transition that only happens randomly and not a bother. the other is that it seems to default to the first page sometimes, although the 3rd is my home page. overall, excellent job by the Go Dev team... really like what they've done so far and look forward to updates.
one suggestion if you have an older version already installed, try uninstalling, then do a fresh installation of the updated version. that gave me the best results, rather than installing on top of the previous version.

Needs some more work. Would like it if you could hide the dock bar completely or make the dock bar rotate when in landscape.

It still isn't really tablet optimized. The "zoom to fill screen" & "stretch to fill screen" toggle is still there. That has to go. I can deal with that in an app, but not in my home launcher.

Huh? You can do both. (assuming you refering to GoLaunchers dock) I have it as my downwardgesture to hide/show dock.

i didn't notice the stretch to zoom until I read your post, so I guess it doesn't bother me. as for the dock, it can be hidden easily as already stated.

Tech support from GO launcher developer is nonexistent. I have contacted them 3 times since December 20th and nothing. their launcher is not bad, but I do not like the home button in the app drawer, and so far I have been unable to find a way to turn the damn thing off.
If I can't get this resolved here pretty soon I will be uninstalling and finding another launcher and uninstalling the GO launcher

Why does this 'home' button bother you? Theme it to a black bar and hide it...?

I just meant that it would be nice to be able to disable the dock all together. No need for gestures at all.

waste of space in the app drawer

Just changing the theme color to "hide" the button itself doesn't stop the "soft" button's operation, for me it is a useless waste of space in the app drawer and limits the scaling of the app count layout on the screen, I am lazy and the fewer swipes to scroll through the full app drawer the better. I have used other launchers and they have the capability to switch the app drawer home "soft" button on or off so I do not see why this is a problem to implement in one of their updates.
The worst problem is NO response from their tech support after multiple contacts; not even a HI, confirmation of receipt, we will look into it, or F U, nothing... and on principal -- I do not put up with piss poor customer support for anything, there are too many other option available.

I cannot get the Dock to rotate into landscape. Running current version , 2.75!

How do you rotate it? You are right, gestures can hide it.

I agree the 'Home Button' is a nauseated icon. I used to use Vertical sliding but the icon has reverted me back to horizontal loop of which became my preference to organize different screens in the app drawer, so I understand what you mean.
I had some difficulty reaching out to them also. Eventually they responded. I found the only way they respond is thru the Feedback part within the app. I also found that making the words very minimal (?), not so.... Uhhh, technical? Their 'Engrish' is very limited. Once I even used pics with circles and lines to describe something.

Well, there is an option within GoLauncher that allows the setting. Press Menu from home screen, Preferences, Operation Settings. On top is the Screen Orientation. GoLauncher does not override whatever you have set Android to. For instance, mine is set to AutoRotation, but my tablet is locked in VerticalMode so it never moves.
I would also like to point out that in Horizontal mode, you can not put the dock on the side... But I like that idea and I'm probably going to suggest that to the dev team right after I finish this msg...

@Crockashat I just sent message to request that feature. (removal option of soft HOME key in app drawer) If I get response, Ill post.

Hi,
Does this app batch uninstall without the system pop up on every app?

Thank you for your question.
In batch uninstall mode, the system pop up will be shown on every app.
Android system doesn't allow us to uninstall an app without user's confirmation.

That's a real shame as there is a way. There is an app that's capable but it was never updated (silent app uninstaller for root users)

My app is for normal users, not for root users.
With un-rooted device, I'm sure there's no way to uninstall app without user's confirmation.
If we could uninstall app without user's confirmation, someone can write an application that delete all apps on your phone.
What do you think?

If one knows how things work...
Never mind, was just curious

Thank you for your feedback.

[Q] SSuggest App langauge change

I'm new at this so bare with me. Refurbished P3113 WiFi while loading apps I accidently hit a foreign language in S Suggest App and can't change it back. Samsung gave this long drawn out answer that won't work. Do I have to restore to factory settings?

Have you tried going to "all apps" and editing the settings on S Suggest App? I don't use this nor know what it even is, so just reading what worked for someone else...

play store always adds shortcut to home screen

Is there a way to re-enable the setting to toggle add shortcut to home screen in the play store?
I have tried to delete play store data and clear cache.
Basically if I install a new app it always adds a shortcut, I don't want that to happen. The option to toggle that is gone from settings...
Thanks

Downgrade to system version and disable if it updates it should not do it anymore or if you have a custkm laumcher lock your desktop no apls can be added so that will fix it

You're not using a third party launcher like Nova Launcher Prime, which has its own setting for adding icons to the home screen, are you?

If your on pixel launcher long press on home screen. Then hit home settings. The option is in there
