Has anyone else encountered this with the latest Google App update?
In the Google Feed, there are sometimes lists of related news stories that you have to swipe horizontally to scroll through. But, I use Action Launcher with the Google Plugin, which allows you to access the Google Feed by swiping to the left. If I try to swipe left on these story feeds, it just swipes back to my home screen, now. And if I swipe right, it dismisses it.
In the past, there was an arrow you could tap (circled below) that would allow you to activate this scroll. But, it's gone now. Same result in Lawn Chair and even Google Now Launchers. Anyone know if there is some kind of setting that would fix this? Thanks in advance!

Same issue
I'm having exactly the same issue with the stock launcher (google now launcher) on the Moto G5 Plus. I found that if you explicitly start Google Now as an app, the horizontal swipe works fine even though the left/right arrows don't appear.

Thanks for the reply. Hmm, not the most ideal solution, but I guess it's better than nothing. Thanks!

Well, not ported as they already mostly worked, just fixed a couple of hiccups. Nothing very clever going on here, but may be of interest to some folks.
As per request in another thread, I've fixed the Desktop Home app for the Samsung Vibrant so that the one thing that doesn't seem to work properly, the "Alarm" button, is now ok.
You can grab the APK from:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've also partially fixed the Vibrant Car Home app so that the icons are centered and the "Contacts" link works. The "Search" button doesn't seem to do anything and it seems to be hit & miss as to if you get a "Browser" icon or a "Voice Search" icon as pictured below. It may be a compatibility issue with the JME firmware I'm running, I'll have a play later. Anyway, you can grab the .APK from:
http://db.tt/qN07wwk
The app is incredibly no-frills, there's no other settings or options whatsoever other than what appears on the screen. I'd suggest using the Car Home v3 app from the market instead, although this one does look pretty.
The apps don't lock the screen on either so are probably not terribly useful without an actual dock.
If I can decipher the decompiled smali code some more, I'll replace the "Search" icon with a "Music" one. Changing the app an icon runs is easy, implementing it when it's not already doing something is less so.
To access Google Now, just swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
So can this gesture do something special instead of Google Now?
Somthing like a Dock?
Yes! This is the DOCKAT!
Dockat is the most convenient and intuitive way to switch between applications and adjust system settings for Android 4.1 and up.
Whether you're in the browser, at a home screen, or anywhere else, you'll always be able to call up Dockat by swiping up from the bottom edge of the screen, which is exactly the same as launching Google Now.
You can make your own Dockat by adding the most frequently used and favourite apps just like Dock.app in OS X.
And there are more:
1. Music Controller
Display the information of the now-playing music with three function keys, Fast Forward / Rewind and Pause / Play.
2. Quick Settings
Easy access to the Setting Menu and a slider to adjust the brightness setting.
3. Full-screen gestures
Swipe down to expand the notification panel. Especially designed for large screen phones.

couldnt really understand what it does, but sounds interesting, so m gonna try it out.
Hello,
I have been running the cataclysm ROM for several weeks now. I like it, I must say. Really nice OS.
However, one think I can not figure out is how to get the camera sweep shortcut to the lockscreen.
In settings there is an option to turn it on or off, but it does not make a difference. I already tried to fiddle around with the widget settings etc.
Also I could not find a setting in the Camera app and I have tried some external apps for lockscreen management.
Re-flashing the rom (no wipe) also does not make a difference.
I am posting here since the ROM thread has been closed for 2 weeks now. Google and search could not help me.

Thanks, that helped!
Is it not possible to use the 'stock' shortcut at the right bottom?
There's no shortcut on bottom left, but if you swipe the screen from right to left like you do on home screen , you will get the camera..
Just assume that there is a shortcut icon in the bottom left and do it..

Thanks guys! It never occured to me to just swype, I guess I was used to the icon being there.
How do I disable this horizontal swipe in the end of the last screen, on stock 4.4.2 (with Xposed Framework) Is there such a setting which would disable or maybe with a help of some Xposed Module ?
Thanks

If you're talking about a blank page after your last page in your launcher.. that's a bug in the google launcher. To get rid of the page, drag an app from your dock onto it, and then drag it back into your dock. It'll go away after that.
Just repeat that any time it comes back.
I dont think so that you can disable it mate !
questions go here(q&a) http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help not into general. people dont look to answer question in general.

I know nothing can be done about that as far as I know
I hated that too.
So... I use nova launcher... which "lock fixed" the homescreen when you only have one.
hmmm
hmmm, ok,,, I would think it's some simple option which can be disabled easily from the settings or maybe trough some xposed module ,, I guess I'll post this "issue" under GravityBox thread ,, maybe they can add this option, to disable!
My tablet is Samsung Tab S7 FE with Android 12 and One UI version 4.1.1. After last update the desktop changed.
Before the icons at the bottom: recent apps, home and back, were in the middle of screen. Now they are on the right side of the bottom line, which is very annoying: you very often accidiently touch those icons.
I tried to move the position of those icons by pressing long - no success.
I don't want to use Nova Laucher or similar apps, so any possibilities to move those icons back to center of bottom line?

You can change the position. You have a choice of left, center, or right.
Thank you, now it works!
