[Q] Keep app away from recent app list - General Questions and Answers

Ok, So I use Go Locker, and i disabled the homekey during lockscreen for security. But I have a problem that I use Nova Launcher, and sometimes when i have apps i sometimes swipe away the launcher, its a bit annoying is there a way to stop the launcher from getting in to recent app list where you switch apps and stuff. I am running 4.2.2. My launcher is Nova. I tried Keep Alive thing in romtoolbox pro app but that doesn't stop from launcher from appearing in the list.

[Q] New 4.0 update - some bugs...

Hey all,
I have noticed ever since the new update that when I have go launcher ex running as my active launcher, at times the widgets on my home screen do not update.
Funny thing is, when I auto rotate the screen and then rotate it back to normal the widgets update. I actually have to do this to update them.
Anyone else have this issue with go launcher ex? I have contacted them but they do not reply so I figured to see if anyone in here has the same issue.
I am using the stock launcher right now. The problem does not appear to happen with the stock. Any good recommendation on a launcher to use momentarily that has no issues with the new 4.0?
I have also noticed that Go SMS has issues as well, it will at times not respond. Again with the stock launcher no issues with Go SMS.
It sounds like a bug in GoLauncherEx.
Try Nova Launcher (my favorite)

Or Apex Launcher

Bummer.... I like go launcher ex cause they don't make me pay for the premium app to categorize my app drawer apps in folders....
I've tried Go Launcher and the Nova and I like better the Nova to ICS

Anyway to bulk move apps from the app drawer to home screen?

Just restored all my apps to a new phone using Titanium but the only drawback to that manoeuvre is all 150 apps are in the app drawer now and I need to drag each shortcut individually to the home screen. Is there a setting to tell Titanium to put shortcuts on the home screen?
Is there anyway now for me to bulk move apps from the app drawer to home screen?
There must be an app, an exposed or play store app that can do this, my phone is rooted - its a Galaxy Note 2 touch wiz 4.42.
For future reference is there anyway to backup my home screen folders and app shortcut setup when moving to a different phone/hardware?
No one?
Did a good search on play store but the only thing I could find was app drawer replacements
Is there any exposed app that can do this?
I have discovered a way using Nova launcher, install nova before restoring apps from titanium and in the settings tell nova to put a shortcut on the home page for newly installed apps. Then when titanium restores the apps a shortcut will be placed on the homescreen for each app, remember that is Novas homescreen not the vanilla launcher of your phone.
I use Nova now so all the homescreen app placements are restored with the app but maybe this may help someone.

[LOLIPOP] "Tile Icon Maker" alternatives

Hi!
On KK roms I've been using app "Tile icon Maker" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tileiconmaker), where I had more than 20 widgets placed on nova Launcher homescreen... and it looked beautiful.
then I installed CrDroid 5.02, I can make the same look, but after some time Nova Launcher starts to report errors that widgets stopped working. So I had to delete the widgets/tiles and deinstall the app. It looks like some kind of memory problem?
The app itself is no longer supported.
Does anyone know of a similar app?
I don't want to migrate to some of the available W7 launchers, because Nova is the best.

"Recents" display as stacks, not pages

Evening all.
My recent apps have suddenly decided to display in stack mode, not the swipeable horizontal page mode.
No idea why, don't like it, and haven't found a way to restore/change it back.
Many thanks for any help.
*EDIT* - Solved. I'm using Nova and had frozen the OP launcher in TiBU. Defrosting it (but still keeping Nova as my default launcher) fixed it.
I also use Nova and don't freeze OnePlus Launcher in Titanium Backup just because I want this recents horizontal style. It's a shame Nova doesn't have this feature natively.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't freeze/uninstall Oneplus Launcher. Or you could install quickswitch magisk module and install lawnchair change the recents provider to it which will give you back the horizon pages.

Hide apps in app drawef

Hello I have just got my p40 pro and apart from a few apps not working I am so impressed.. One thing is there any way to hide apps in the app drawer? I have gone into home screen settings and can't see any options can anyone help please
You could try Evie Launcher. In this launcher you can hide apps from drawer. Its a stock Android looking launcher, very nice. Though it crashes on my P40 Lite. Its free too.
