Problem adding widgets - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running stock, rooted. Anytime I attempt to add a widget to my home screen, I get the error, "Unfortunately Google Search has stopped". Has anyone else seen this?

I had this FC when setting a personal wallpaper so I installed Nova and everything works fine now.

Thanks! Who would have thunk? I installed Nova, problem gone. So now I uninstalled Nova and the problem is still gone. I never even opened the app. What gave you the idea to try it?

I always had Nova as launcher so even with the "new google experience" I wanted to install Nova.
However I've just tried again with Google launcher and adding widgets/new wallpapers seems to work now. FYI between the problem and now I wiped app data from Apps manager and reboot.

Yeah, I use Nova Prime with Slim Roms on my Nexus 7 and retired Gnex. I was giving the stock experience a whirl until SlimKat is ready. So far, I like the new stock launcher. Thanks again.

Thanks, this is what fixed it for me! Although just the wipe did it, no need to reboot.

Really strange stuff has happened with LaunchePro, I had the exact same problem a couple weeks ago and no matter what I tried to do launcherPro would not save settings.
Then 2-3 days later when I was really fed up with it and was about to install a different launcher LauncherPro "healed" itself and started working properly so when I made any changes to it, it no longer defaulted to it's defaults.......
same issue with mine, haven't been able to change my grid dimensions from the default and other settings aren't sticking either.
switched to go launcher ex
Factory data reset and don't try to restore backed up LauncherPro settings. Should work fine then.
I uninstalled the launcher. I'm rooted, so I used Root File Explorer to navigate to dbdata/database. I then deleted the launcher pro folder. Reinstall launcher.

Is there a way I can access the DB database by connecting to the computer.
I had my iPhone jailbroke but I don't know enough about this rooted stuff.

Nova Launcher glitch since 4.3 update

Ever since upgrading to 4.3 on my nexus I've noticed this glitch when viewing the "bird's eye view" of all home screens on nova launcher (Seen in picture.)
Is this due to Nova having to update their application or is there a quick fix to this problem? (I've already tried clearing cache and data, didn't work.)

I had the same problem on my Nexus 4 after upgrading to 4.3. I installed the Nova Launcher beta 2.2

Isn't just that.
Widgets are failing to update and in some cases crash or go blank. In stock launcher its fine, in Nova it isn't.

Yeah, I've been using Open Mic +. It's pretty good and no need to use a different launcher. You can also customize it instead of saying "Ok Google." I just changed my activation word to "Google" and it automatically opens up Google Search and listens to what you want to say. Pretty convenient. You can turn it off and on. Just google it. I believe it's also in the play store.

Very minimal if any drain. I'm actually using the 2.4 version. 3.5 is the latest, and I'm not sure how good that one is, but I've had no issues with mine. Also, people complaining about slow start up time isn't true. The 3-5 seconds it takes is only when you first start the app. After that, every time you say your hotword, it opens up quite fast and ready to listen. That's for 2.4 at least. I'm sure 3.5 has to be better.

Yes and then I click "Always" (I want apexlauncher to be my standard launcher) and when I restart my tab...he keeps asking it again.
I thought the problem was apex so I installed another launcher but it's the same problem...
It drives my crazy...

So two things that you can try: go into apex settings and choose to keep launcher in memory. You'll have the annoying persistent notification but it might work. Or, go to settings, go to "Home" and see if you can choose the default there. Otherwise I'm at a loss, bro...

Google Dialer from Android N Preview 3 working on Moto X Pure Edition

Just a heads up this seems to be working again.
Got the apk from here:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...phone-3-01-08_rc8-android-apk-download/#notes
It installed fine.
Then just went to Settings>Apps and disabled the old Dialer.
Finally, went to Settings > Apps > cog button > Default Apps and set Google Dialer to default.
So far I have not seen any issue.
Please let me know if you find any.

Only the 2.5.11_rc8 worked for me, I believe they patched it after that.

This please.
Caller ID, it allows you to search for local bussinesses, block phone numbers and more.
Why does this one work on non-Nexus devices and the versions before didnt? Maybe they finally consider releasing it for all devices now.

Is it not just a Beta Version of this app?

Does it allow you to install if from play store?
Probably not.
Also, the other versions didn't install since they were suppoused to be only for Nexus and Google Play Edition devices.

Thanks.
Confirmed working here.
Looks and works exactly the same as 2.5.11_rc8 although there appears to be several changes in apk file.
How is this compared to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...p-google-dialer-2-32-google-contacts-t3263859. ???
I think you need root for that. This app is latest(ish) version and has Call Blocking and Google Caller ID.
Previously you couldn't install this Nexus only Dialler on other phones hence needing root.
But this version escaped Google somehow and simply installs like any other apk. A day later they realised their mistake and made it Nexus only again.
It installed fine but cannot bring up the dial pad and cannot hang up a call. Not sure why it does this. Mxpe stock

Did you set it as default phone app? Had this problem when stock dialer was default.
Also try to disable stock dialer.

Under Apps / Phone / Notification, set it to Allow Peeking = Off. No Peeking helped me get better notifications on incoming calls.
YMMV
