When I press cancel, it works but when I press ok it won't do anything. Does this have to do anything with rom.. I need that so pie controls allow me to go back

Maybe you have an app that controls screen dimming such as lux or similar. These apps put an overlay on the screen that as a security feature android blocks you pressing things like install or OK. New version of lux fixed that I thought though... Maybe you have some other app that alters screen display
Download any apk to sdcard and try to install via file manager to test.

Thanks man, I had lux because stock auto bigness is sh*t. Everything works now

Latest lux? Thought I read that latest doesn't have this issue. Or maybe only on "install" button.

It overrides nova launcher?

No. Its called a launcher as it can launch apps via pie or gestures, however it sits on top of nova. I use nova too...for the homescreen

Whatsapp globe notification

Hi!
Not sure whether my problem affects you all or it's just my phone.
A globe notification was added to whatsapp some months ago, just like iPhone notifications, but it was only for Samsung devices. Well, I've seen it in a lot of Samsung devices except mine.
Do you have the same problem? I mean, when I receive a notification I can only see it on the status bar, not in the icon.
Thank you all.
it's dependent on the launcher, not the phone itself.
are you using stock or 3rd party launcher?

I'm using stock rom, but then I don't get it,
am I supposed to use a custom launcher to use a function that should work on stock rom?
What does a globe notification looks like?

again it has nothing to do with the ROM, it should work in the stock TW launcher (I think it's called TouchWiz Home)

I'm using Nova launcher and TeslaUnread. TeslaUnread gives the Nova launcher the ability to display notification count over the icons

Oh that, surprisingly Tesla is not showing that for Whatsapp for me. I have that on Messenger, Hangout, but not Whatsapp and other apps.
EDIT: I just realised I did not tick Whatsapp in Tesla... I will try out first

Thank you so much,
but what I was trying to say is that every device I've seen has that globe notification, and no one had another launcher, not even they were rooted!
I just don't get why I have to use some launcher to get that feature.
sorry for double post
this is what I mean
as you can see, no whatsapp notification!
Is it in the default launcher?It should be fine.

Sorry for double post! but I just want to say I've finally know how to enable it!
it only works on Whatsapp+, you can download it over there. There is an option where you can enable the counter and change the color!
thanks to everyone!

Advanced 4-way reboot

I'm on stock, rooted 5.1. Don't want to flash custom ROM. Has any figured how to add 4-way reboot menu. There is a post that has files for previous build but I have run across 5.1 version. Thank you
Power Menu Form playstore
I use quickboot, it works well.

Those are workarounds. I think that OP is looking for advanced power menu from pressing power button.
So answer is no. There isn't any working solution on 5.1 for now.

All in one gestures, you can press power button for advanced reboot. Works perfect.
Thank you

Agreed. Also too many permissions and accessibility needs for my taste.
I use an app called Material Power Menu and use gestures from Nova launcher to activate it. Double tap on the home screen brings up the power menu, and it fits in with Lollipop. Doesn't feel like a workaround for me, and you only need root i think.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.naman14.powermenu
To add it as a gesture shortcut, go to your launchers gesture settings, select the gesture you want to use and scroll to shortcuts (not apps, that will open the settings of the Power Menu). Just select Power Menu in the list and there you go, advanced material power menu on stock Lollipop. Again, it's a workaround but it doesn't look/feel like one.
try Xposed & module APM+
I'm using marians suggestion. Works great. You skinflints do need to pay for nova prime !) The beta 27 material nova is superb. All bugs are now gone. Just wish it had a color choice..That red....
Sent from my Nexus 5
This material power menu seems to be a great addition when using with Nova prime..
For some reason I cannot add a gesture for this. When navigating to gestures> shortcuts>power menu within nova settings, I get this screen (please see attached or within post, not sure how the picture gets attached) it only allows me to use the power menu, however does not set the gesture... Any suggestions?

Possible to switch "recent" button to "menu" button

I'm referring to the physical button to the left of the home button. I hardly ever use the recent button, but definitely use the menu button. For example, if I want to access settings for Nova launcher, I now have to navigate to the setting vs just tapping "menu".
Set a gesture in Nova to launch Nova settings. That's the easiest way.

Nope. No option to add "menu" button in Nova either. Even more frustrating with Nova, the expand notifications feature doesn't seem to work with gestures. My favorite feature of Nova is the ability to swipe down from anywhere and get to notifications. No longer possible on s6.....yet.
I have no idea what you're referring to. Both definitely work lol. Look below swipe down for expand in options.
I also definitely have a swipe up gesture on the app drawer to launch Nova settings with just a swipe.

I enabled that feature. swiped down, nothing. Then I decided to try double tap from anywhere to access notification; also nothing. If it's working for you, then maybe I have a bad version. Maybe you can check your version? I'm on v 5.0.2
I'm running the beta version actually from the Google plus community. Maybe that's why. Give it a try.

[APP] Asus Launcher for OnePlus 2 {ZenUI Launcher}

Here is the Awesome Launcher from Asus Zenfone.
The default launcher of OxygenOS felt too boring that why I ported Asus Launcher from My Old Zenfone 5 for OnePlus X/2.
Just download and install it as Normal App and it should work fine without any bugs
Working in OnePlus 2, tested by @kishan12345
Download:
Asus Launcher.apk

Enable Unknown Sources by going to Settings, scroll down to Security, and select Unknown sources. Selecting this option will allow you to install apps outside of the Google Play store. :laugh:

AnI twilight app or night filter active?
It gave me an update for the launcher from playstore and it worked out of the box. So i don't think it requires any modification to the apk.
Very good launcher thanks
Very nice launcher, thank you
i wil try it
Thank you very much for this!
You can directly download it from

the launcher is very smooth and the apps open very quick.. and the transitions are also great
Asus has just made their launcher available for every android device on the google play.

Samsung GameBox launcher

Anyone else try the new GameBox launcher? It was available for me in Galaxy Apps. Basically Game Launcher on steroids as it's an actual full-blown launcher that acts as a front end for all your games and incorporates all the Samsung game tools. Looks pretty, but I can't see using it as a full time launcher. I do have it set as a swipe action in Nova Launcher so I can access it by swiping the app drawer button.

It's not an app, it's an actual launcher. I use it like an app though by setting it via a shortcut through Nova Launcher.

Go to "Settings", "Applications", "Default Applications", "Home Screen", then select "GameBox" and hit the home key.
I have the S7 (non edge model) and was able to find and download this the other day on the Galaxy apps site but today I cant find it. is anyone else having this problem or was this originally intended only for the edge users?
*edit* never mind I found it on the google play store. it's now listed as an app that is not available in my country!
Thanks i use apex and made a icon of the app like you and it works perfect!!
Sorry for my english
