Hi,
Is there a setting you can enable an endless homescreen rotation on the Moto G? So not bouncing back when you are the last page?
Regards!
Michel
Use a launcher to do so, such as Nova.
You can even try Go launcher. It's free and has a lot of features. Depends on your choice.:laugh:
Thanx for your replies, so no default option available

Nope, you gots to use a launcher. I seriously recommend nova. And it's well worth getting nova prime, just saying.

I tried searching for this and didn't find it, and I'm really curious about it.
Is it possible for the swipe left to google now (which looks incredibly smooth in the KitKat videos) to be implemented into launchers such as nova and apex? Or is that going to be a stock launcher only thing?
Just to clarify, I'm asking if a future version of Nova/apex will be able to copycat this design, not just implement another gesture that opens the google now app. The beauty of these launchers now is that they appear very similar to aosp, but they have many more features. Will that no longer be possible after this change?
Nova (paid) already has gestures that you can set to launch any app. There are 9 gestures although swipe left isn't one of them - not that it matters

Right, I guess that is one option, but it is more jarring to switch to a totally different app than the swipe gesture that it looks like KItKat has. That seem so fluid, almost like it's just another home screen.

From what I was reading, I believe that in 4.4 it actually IS another screen. I mean it's not just that the app is hidden in the background and uncovered by a gesture, it is an option to have google now to take up a page in the layout.

Nova right now cant do anything like the google launcher for kk. When you swipe right there is an actual google now home page.

It sure is first you've got too activate Google now its in the Google search settings somewhere

i really hope that nova will implement this and all the other cool stuff from the new kk launcher... something like a more customizable stock launcher
The google launcher is basically an extension of the Google search app. Kind of like Facebook home. I doubt nova will be able to integrate this unless the build it themselves into nova. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...e-kitkats-primary-interface-is-google-search/

I suppose an app like GMD gestures could help you achieve the same effect

I think it would be cool if you can swipe left to any app of your choice, even if the app has to go on pause.

Remove what? The launcher? You can just install Apex launcher and use that instead if you wanted. If you really wanted to remove it you will need to uninstall it through titanium backup, but I wouldn't recommend that.

Hello to all,
I dont know if someone did create this post earlier cause i did not find it, correct me if i am wrong.
I am owner of nexus 5 and i have an issue with third party launchers like nova launcher.
I installed recently nova launcher and when i pressed home button it asked me as usually which launcher i prefer
to have as default. I have chosen nova as always..
But when i use google search for example and then i press home button again suddently the window is poping up
again on which launcher i prefer and i choose nova all the time...
This story is too annoying cause it cannot remember that i said always to be nova as default.
If someone has faced this problem your help will be apriciated...
Sorry for bad english if i made mistakes...
Thanks in advance!!!
did you double check in settings > home to see if nova was sticking as the default launcher there? do you have the free or paid version? just curious.

Hi I have a problem with my 8gb moto g occasionally the apps disappear I can click somewhere on the screen and it will start that app but can't see anything.
Seems like that's a glitch with the launcher. Try switching to nova launcher or apex launcher (you can download them from google play). You'll get more features from them too.

You're welcome, it seems that the default firmware on the moto g has issues with transparency in general, because sometimes chrome graphically glitches like this too. Maybe try a custom rom like cyanogenmod if you get more issues.

Hi i'd like to try and keep the phone standard don't want to void the warranty by putting a custom ROM on there anyway I'm on nova launcher now it is working great love the resizable widgets, thanks so much for your help. This is a very strange problem my last phone was a Chinese dual sim phone the standard launcher on that worked perfect I suppose for the great price of this phone we can expect a few small issues.
Talking about transparency... I noticed it with incoming call contact image. It displays only half of the image and the part where are the buttons is black.

Hi i'd say the only solution if you don't want to install a different launcher is to wait for Motorola to release a software update. As for the home menu, you can change your default launcher with that and network operator just let's you automatically or manually select your operator.
Can someone please recommend me a program that can change app's transitions? I want the transitions where the apps come from the outer screen and moves to the center. I have tried Anim Mod but it doesn't have that transition.
And also, I've been trying to find a program that will force my wi-fi and data connections to stay on all the time. For some strange reason they keep shutting off randomly. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did you activate any battery saving features? You can use nova launcher as it provides custom fade animations.

Nope. I have Power Saver turned off. I'll try Nova Launcher. Thanks.
Edit:
Wow! I've tried many launchers in my day but never one as polished as this! Thanks for recommending Nova Launcher! Now if I could only figure out why my wi-fi and data connections keep turning off and why certain apps like Flixter, eBay, Gmail, etc. refuse to connect to the internet.
Which Launcher do you use with Google Pixel?
Nova launcher (Prime) for me. Love the customisation options.
Nova Prime
Nova prime
Nova Prime. I think I can say that everyone recommends that so far.
Apex ?
Was on Apex since the GS2 days but switched to Nova prime cause Apex was show with the 7.0 OS updates. Glad I made the move and haven't looked back
Stock
I am loving Google's Pixel launcher. I've been a Nova user for YEARS but I haven't missed it yet. Nice job, Google!
Nova Prime
Smart launcher Pro and Action Launcher.
Pixel launcher for me. I'm trying to just use installed apps as much as possible. I just wish that Google would add app drawer folders and how to hide apps too. I dont really want to root any more so if anyone knows if the pixel launcher can be amended to add these features please let me know.

If you install another launcher (like nova) you can copy every single feature of the stock launcher and you don't need root. I did this when I bought Pixel.

Can't swipe from the left to get Google Now page. Nova doesn't support left or right swipe.
Also a lot of things you may want such as folders in the app drawer are only available in the paid (Prime) version of Nova
