Stock Launcher glitch icons in drawer - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So sometimes my stock launcher glitches. Found it happens in cataclysm and stock ROM. What happens is randomly the rows turn to 6 instead of five so its closer together and more icons per page.
It fixes itself upon reboot but is there anyway to fix it otherwise without rebooting?

Do you really like the stock launcher? Nova has many more features and customizations.

I have nova and prime but don't use it. Yes I like the stock launcher more just for the OK Google.

That sounds weird. You could try to reset GEL (stock launcher) by deleting its app data. Settings -> Apps. Search the launcher and delete data and cache

[APP][REQUEST] tablet ui home replacement launcher

I love the tablet ui mods that have been made possible by these wonderful devs. But most of these mods are only useable by stock Roms. Roms that are heavily modified can cause interference, lag, and system fc's. Those roms happen to be the ones I like most. Smh. So why not have a home replacement app that mimics the tablet ui mod. Tablet ui works for me because the notifications bar it's at the bottom. And I'm using a sg note2 and it is more easily accessible from the bottom. So why not have a home replacement app with its own notifications bar that can be customized to be placed at the top out bottom, and can be switched to phablet mode as well, and resizable grid.

What is your phone? AOSPA ROM is really stable. Or alternatively, use apex AND lmt launcher. Lmt should provide you with something similar to a tablet UI while apex will let you hide everything else.
Edit: Not familiar with your phone but my advice still stands

Chrome keeps auto sharing to Pocket with giving me choice?

If I set a default share app in another app, like twitter, Chrome will also use that as a default share app, not giving me a choice in the matter. Why this change?
Same issue here, but I haven't even chosen a default share app. I chose to share to gmail in my twitter app and now most apps are sharing automatically to gmail.

I don't have that issue...both of you mentioned twitter, that's probably to blame

It's still doing it even though I cleared defaults. I don't get it.

I'm having this problem too. Seems to be a bug with Android: https://code.google.com/p/android/i...nd&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Yes, I have to keep clearing app defaults in settings, because chrome is remembering share settings from other apps for some reason and using it for itself, with no choice.

Same here. Each time I try to share a page with chrome it opens "import to Google drive". The only way I found to get the share choices back is to deactivate Google drive

I'm having the same problem its just copying to clip board not giving me the share via menu at all. Same with the XDA app BTW.

Alright I fixed it. You need to go to Apps I. Settings and go to the 3 dot menu on top right and reset apps preferences like so. Yay!

No offence but you didn't fix anything..you just reset app prefs like most people know. There's still a bug, it just happens again...

That sucks I'm sorry it didn't work for you. Google needs to seed a fix soon too many pot holes in this build for the N5.

Had this problem too but clearing app defaults worked for me. For now anyhow..

Is there a way to set an app as the default option for sharing? I only want to share to Pocket in Chrome and Twitter etc. Is that possible?

Remove search bar

Is it possible to remove the Google Search bar from my stock launcher. It just bugs me being there, so have to use a Apex which I don't like using a 3rd party launcher.

The OP mentioned he doesn't want a third party launcher. You can try disabling Google Search. It worked on other versions of Android but I don't know if it will still work. One thing; anything that relies on search will not work.
I want it out of there as well, I've been on android since the begining and I have an exact layout I use. That location is where my clock widget goes and there isn't a chance in hell I will use their stock launcher until it can be moved.
visually disable that "Search bar", while still having the "Ok Google"
I would love to be able to simply visually disable that "Search bar", while still having the "Ok Google" voice function working (don't mind loosing the Google Now swipe too)!
if there is an app or some hack that can be applied to stock tooted ROM, pleas let me know.
Thanks

Apex Launcher

Is it possible to make the notification bar transparent and also the 3 touch buttons, like on stock launcher.

Not yet. There should hopefully be an update to the launchers in the play store soon to allow this.

Yeah, I'm trying to like the stock launcher, but despite how pretty it is, I missed being able to change orientation and having more icons on the screen. I feel like the icons are oversized on stock.

Hi guys,
Since flashing the current Mahdi Rom, my GNL is having that annoying bug again, where it shows 6 rows instead of five. Is there a fix for that?

Is your DPI different? Xposed has a GEL plugin that can change that.

No im actually running stock DPI. I'm using art so far as I think it's a lot faster than dalvik... So I don't want to loose art just because of that..
