Annoying swipe down - Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers

Hello,
After the new update, when I swipe down on homepage I open quick search.
I hate that, can I disable it somehow?

Try using a different launcher like nova or action launcher

I don't know if it is possible to downgrade launcher (because I don't have Nougat yet), but if you want to stick with Xperia Home then download this. I think this is latest Xperia Home that you used on Marshmallow. Ofc you will not be able to install older version, but changing package name will allow you to install launcher that I gave you link for. Then select old one as default and that is it.

Mod Google Now Launcher

Hi,
I want to add a column in the homescreen of google now launcher, but I don't know where to start!!
Could anyone do it for me or explain me how to do it??
Thanks a lot![emoji1] [emoji4]

PS I can't attach any link or file of GNL and Google Search apks extracted from my device! If I can I try to put a link in the comments
Oh no! I can't put any link! And I can attach files only from my gallery or my camera!
However, I ve got android lollipop google now launcher and google search. Thanks
Hey DgDav99, you can install "XGEL Settings" which is an Xposed module. This will allow you to completely modify Google's Experience Launcher as if it is Nova, Apex, etc. This will allow you to add a column, and also keep the quick swipe for Google Now. Hope that helps! Just note that you obviously must have root access to install Xposed.
He mentioned that he was using Lollipop.
As of this moment, Xposed is still not functional on Lollipop so theres no way he can use XGELS.
Sorry buddy but to be able to modify the GNL, you will have to go back to 4.4 at least and then root it, install Xposed and then install XGELS.
If you don't want to do that, you can use a different launcher such as Nova Launcher as of the current beta looks a lot like GNL and is highly customisable.
The only downside is that there is no "Swipe to left for Google Now"

I think some people need to learn how the hell to read stuff before popping off at the mouth.
Sorry, I didn't explain me. I'm on kitkat 4.4.2, but I'm running the GNL of lollipop(I don't remember the version)!
However, I know xGELs module, but I prefer waiting xposed for lollipop because my phone will Be updated soon. I only would like to know if there were others methods to modify GNL (for example modifying apk...) thanks

I'm not sure if there's a way to do that but you can use Xposed Framework with Xposed GEL Settings module to accomplish what you wanna do while on KitKat 4.4.2 until your phone is updated like a previous user mentioned

You can post a link as long as you put a space in the middle, like google .com, and even putting the link in the browser, people can just take out the space.

Install as normal app.
Since this is the unmodified app, you wont have a shortcut or menu in settings, if you want to enter permission manager menu, you need to download an app from Google Play Store that can create a shortcut of any of your app or settings.
I recommend Shortcut master lite.

I'm getting the same, I'm on official COS 12.1-YOG4PAS1N0 with Trebuchet Launcher. Google Now launcher displays the search bar just fine, I think Google changed something on the 3rd. party implementation of the Search Bar and this is why it shows like this.

Stock Launcher Needed for CM 14

Hello
I have CM 14 installed on my h850
I would like to install the stock launcher since I want the double tap to sleep option, other ways don't work since the phone ends up admin locked and you have to enter a pin to unlock the the phone.
Anyone know of way to install the stock launcher?
Update I installed an app called knock on seems to work but it feels like a cludge so would prefer stock launcher

A little workaround I use,any launcher that allows gestures and then easily make double tap gesture connected with sleep (lock) activity from this app. It locks and fingerprint reader works (no need to enter your pin)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkming.powermenu
BTW root needed,works on both stock and cm,aicp,crdroid or any other rom.
Anyway I'm using SlimLauncher from slimrom mm with this app (you can find the launcher apk on xda)
PS
I think you've posted your request in the wrong section
wrong forum (as mentioned above)
you're looking for cm's stock launcher, thats Trebuchet?
alternativly, many custom roms use Launcher3
Trebuchet
Launcher3
There is a stock G5 launcher apk floating around. It works but you can't use double tap to wake/sleep with it
sorry for posting in the wrong section where should it be questions?

Nova Launcher problem

For some stupid reason I am getting 2 chrome app icons in app drawer. I have tried clearing data and uninstalling reinstalling both nova launcher and chrome ( updates ).
But still this problem presists. Moreover in Funtouch OS , there is only one chrome app. In app clone option also chrome is not visible.
When I try to hide it in Nova launcher settings ,both Chrome main app as well as Chrome 2nd app disappears.
And in settings->more settings->Applications there is no Chrome app to unistall.
Please help.

Wow,that sux,maybe try this:
Go ahead & uninstall updates,then disable the Chrome app.
Afterwards,side-load Chrome from APK Mirror (Perfectly safe,the folks @ Android Police run/own the site):
Chrome from APK Mirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...me-browser-68-0-3440-70-android-apk-download/

IDK if this will help,but,it definitely won't hurt to try........

Running out of suggestions here,this sux,even if a minor bug at most,still would be nice to figure out the cause...
Perhaps there's a bug in that version of Chrome,I'm running version 67.0.3396.87
Have you tried side-loading the version I linked?
If so,anything different?
EDIT,I see that's the version you had installed,prior to removing the updates...
Still,have you tried side-loading,just to see what happens?
