Perhaps a noob question but I figured I might as well ask before trying it and messing something up.
Is there a Google Now Launcher APK that's been confirmed to work on the G3? all the APKs I find are in articles and links from months ago and I just want to have the most recent information and APK(s) available.
Loving the G3 just would like Google Now Launcher and preferably the n5 dialer/camera apps. If all this is located somewhere and I'm just being an idiot, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
andrej
Google camera is in the play store, the others should be findable, I'll check when I get home for you

Yes! Thanks to both of you
I tried the Google Camera but not surprisingly the LG app takes much better photos. Now if I could just get the Dialer to look less hideous
...I just need a GPE ROM already
Thanks again!

I assume it is working ok? Love the device, and I'm going to try to time with the stock launcher for at least a couple of days, but probably going to this launcher soon.
Thanks.

Works fine so far here. I'm curious about if there will be a difference in battery usage/wakelocks

I'd recommend Swipe Dialer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mb.swipedial.donate
It can look almost stock Android.

Can you use Knock Code with the Google Now launcher? Only had it for a few days, but really like that feature.

Knock off doesn't work with Google Now Launcher, but knock on works and knock code works too

did you try knock off by tapping the top notifications area?

Thanks for posting the suggestion. I'm using nova and thought I lost knock off completely. Still works in the notification area though.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
Just a note...Smart Launcher 2 let's you use knock off (on any phone).
I've been using Nova (Prime) for longer than i can remember with minimal issues. I recently switched from Note 4 (Verizon) to Note Edge (Verizon). Ever since, i'll get at least half a dozen crashes per day. It can be while i'm inside of a random app, or simply watching the home screen. i've emailed the developer...nothing but crickets.
anyone else with this issue on a Note Edge?
Just a shot in the dark, but maybe a reinstall might work [emoji53]
Using Nova Launcher Prime on my Note Edge with zero problems. In fact just a couple days about I downloaded and installed Novas new beta version of there launcher and its even nicer than prime.

Try doing a permission fix if reinstall doesn't work.

I agree I have no problems at all. I even have changed the DPI in App Settings and it works great.
Query.

My dad has this phone & I was considering hooking him up with Nova Prime, does it work well/completely with the edge screen? If not, what's missing or doesn't quite function properly?
Thanks in advance.
Still using nova launcher and it works flawlessly on note edge, have never had an issue with it. I believe that the edge screen has it own UI so nova doesn't do anything to the edge screen nor does it affect the way it works.
It hides the edge screen by default when you're on the home screen. You have to swipe it to bring it up and there's no way to change that. That's my only issue.

Hi all. ...I'm having an issue with my AT&T Note 8 since the other day when it applied the April security update. Since the update, my home screen wallpaper no longer rotates to the landscape position. It's strange in that the icons do rotate.........BTW,I'm using the Apex launcher but I also tried the Nova launcher with the same outcome.
Any help would be appreciated. ....
P.S. Mods feel free to move this to the proper place if this isn't it ........LOL

Thanks for posting this. I have the same issue on Sprint since the April security update. I thought I had bumped a setting somewhere or something. It's been driving me nuts. Although I have no fix, at least I know it's not just me
I've contacted Apex and Nova.... we'll see what they say and I'll update....?

I just got the May update for the Sprint Note 8, but the problem was not fixed.
I am on the official US retail branch and I have received the April update NPJS25.93-14.7-8.
Why does your update screen look like that? Mine looks like this.

I asked the same question. His screen looks different. I just got the update today and my screen layout looks like yours.
I think he may be using a launcher like Nova, that allows for a different look.

I got the same update screen as you two guys do. It can't be a custom launcher affecting this, it's a rather interesting thing.
My screen looks like that is after I have pressed "Yes, I'm in" and downloaded the update.
Hey I didn't see anyone else ask this and hopefully I won't get chastised for it... But I love the pixel launcher. The S10 can use the Google one in the app store, but the 10+ can't (says it's incompatible). Does anyone know of another way to get it? I really like being able to swipe right and see the Google feed. Before it gets said, not a fan of bixby. Thanks in advance!

Download Nova Launcher and make your launcher however you want it to be
try lawnchair alpha launcher, works pretty good and gives you the pixel-y look.

I've used Nova for a while back in the day but can't figure out if/how to be able to swipe right and bring up the Google Feed. Is it possible?

Download nova companion app and in gestures select swipe right to show Google feed and you are done.
Download lawnchair alpha. Almost identical to the pixel launcher. Came from a pixel 2xl and missed the launcher. This perfectly replicates it.

Nova was nice but MAN I didn't know there was a secondary Lawnchair. Someone else said it but I thought he meant reg for a min till I looked it up.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ITS PERFECT
I currently use cpl launcher and also installed cpl Google feed. Feels just like the pixel.

Try this Follow Lawnchair – Releases on Telegram: https://t.me/lawnchairci
It's the lawnchair 2 based of the pixel launcher. It's really good.
I want the real pixel launcher can that even be ported?

If you like the Pixel launcher, you probably need to get a Pixel phone, not a samsuing

Lawnchair version 2 alpha will probably the closest you can get to the pixel launcher on a Samsung device, and it works very well with a lot of options.

Such an ignorant thing to say. So someone can't buy a phone simply because they like the hardware? Do you change the launcher on your phone? What did you use? Nova? Action launcher? My guess is you do know most launchers are trying to mimic the pixel launcher, right?

Is there anyway to get folders in the app drawer? I couldnt find anything when I quickly was trying to set it up. Thats what is keeping me on Nova right now just because I like to have minimal icons in app drawer to find the stuff I use a lot
This lawnchair v2 is so much better than the first version. I didn't even have to sideload a lawn feed app to get Google feed. The customizations are great. Google should take a hard look at this work done with their launcher and integrate these features.

Thanks for the useless comment. I had a Pixel 3 XL. Went to an iPhone for work, then got to go back to Android and chose the S10+.
Not sure why people can't just be helpful instead of making snide comments. Anyway.
This Lawnchair v2 is perfect. Loving it and it's updates have been great. Thanks for the info peepz!

Sorry about that, I did try it once, but I still enjoy the original launcher
