[Q] Google Play Launcher - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
For me Google Play Launcher is the most smooth launcher for 4.4.2 on my phone.
I've used Nova Launcher, and Apex, but I love swipe to left for Google.
But I've gotten tired of stock icons..
I'm running art, and I change my icons using desktop visualizer, so no problem..
What do I want to know is where the app drawer icon is located.. I know I have to manually change it, no problem I've done it before, on TouchWiz..
So my question for you is, dose anybody knows where the app drawer icon is located?
Thanks.

It's in Google Search in /data/app/
If you have other questions talk to @Pain-N-Panic

[Q] Next Launcher App Drawer and LMT Pie

Hi,
I'm trying to have a shortcut in Pie to load the Next Launcher App Drawer but can't manage to have it working.
I tried to use Tasker with info found in the Catlog but I'm too newbie...
Does someone have a tip or could help ?
Thanks.
Am I the only one trying to get a shortcut for next launcher app drawer?
Nope. There's one more. ME! Some people do it with a tasker shortcut. Maybe we can request the dev to add a Next app drawer option just liek there is for the nova, Holo and apex lauchers.

[Request] Launcher without App drawer

Hey folks,
there is no really working good enough launcher with an iOS like experience.
I mean, why should I use the app drawer? It is obsolet.
If anybody is lookin for a new project and new ideas I think a very vanilla launcher like this with homescreen only experience would be a huge success.
best regards
You can try:
Zero Launcher
Apus Launcher
MiHome Launcher
8 launcher
And a ton of others launcher without an app drawer...
Call me crazy, but if you want a launcher without an app drawer with the iOS feel, install any (any!) launcher from the play store, delete/hide the app drawer icon on the home screen and then install an iOS icon pack.
The best one that i would pick would be Yahoo Aviate hands down.

[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.

Can I get the default pixel date/weather widget in Nova launcher?

I really like the Date and weather widget that comes stock in the Google Launcher on the phone. However, I've switched to using Nova Launcher because I like a couple of its features better. Is there any way I can get that widget on my homescreen?
Thanks!
Try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.difer.weather

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wangdaye.com.geometricweather and select the oreo widget in that
Guys, try this one, its called chronus (Google Play store). Its free, I just bought weather icons for 1 $. I dont know why, but I cant attach screenshot... But its looks so much better then other apps.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, it is built into the Nova settings. No need to download additional widgets. Just look for the Google search bar options and select the pixel style and enable weather display.
i would love to find the built in digital clock/date widget, i cannot find it in nova launcher, could you tell me how? i don't need the weather as a widget, just the time

Adding an "App Drawer" icon to the default Pixel Launcher

Hi all,
I would love the ability to be able to add a simple "All Apps" icon in the center of the dock like the old GEL launcher had. I know that Nova and Action Launcher can do this, but I like the barebones aspect of the Pixel launcher and would like to continue using that. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know there used to be an application in the play store that would add this shortcut to the pixel launcher last year, but that app appears to have disappeared. (I know there are some third party app launchers in the play store, but none of them are blazingly fast)
Only with launcher, sry mate

Best workaround I could find, which is not really perfect but hey see screenshot
Download Nova launcher but don't set it as default. On pixel launcher, add a widget -> Nova action -> app drawer
You may have some few times you come back through Nova homepage this way when pressing home. Give it a try your self.
If I have some time I could see if there's a better way to do it by properly calling the app drawer..
So -- you can make Nova as bare bones as you want to. Any particular reason why you don't want to use Nova, configured to look and feel just like the Pixel launcher? It seems like the best option for what you want.
I know it doesn't replace a button, but tapping the arrow above the dock takes you to app drawer. How do you feel about this?
