play store always adds shortcut to home screen - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Is there a way to re-enable the setting to toggle add shortcut to home screen in the play store?
I have tried to delete play store data and clear cache.
Basically if I install a new app it always adds a shortcut, I don't want that to happen. The option to toggle that is gone from settings...
Thanks

Downgrade to system version and disable if it updates it should not do it anymore or if you have a custkm laumcher lock your desktop no apls can be added so that will fix it

You're not using a third party launcher like Nova Launcher Prime, which has its own setting for adding icons to the home screen, are you?

If your on pixel launcher long press on home screen. Then hit home settings. The option is in there

Close app in one click?

Hi,
How can i close all the open app in one step? Right now i need to "slide" each app to kill it... very long when you have 20 app open.

It's really simple:
Longpress on the App (the one that you want killed) in Recent apps.
On some ROMs, there is an option to "force close" an app by pressing and long-holding the back arrow key, but you still have to remove the app from the list manually. If there is an alternative way to doing this, I'd love to hear it.

I think this is what he's trying to avoid. He wants to be able to kill the app without selecting each one from the "Recent Apps" list and having to slide/'Remove from list' it manually.

Blocking mode

I was going through the settings and found out blocking mode. So thought of sharing here. I is very usefull when u don't want any calls and want to use your internet. No file moddiNg nothing is needed. U just need a launcher like apex or nova.
THEN just long press on home screen and select shortcut--> activities-->find settings and in settings search for the activity named 'blocking mode'.
That's all folks.
Edit : its not working. Hope someone would find how to make it work.
Naaah. Cant find it ! :|
Edit. Found it. but i have a shortcut on homescreen only. Not in settings :/
Edit again. NOT WORKING. GETTING CALLS AND NOTIFICATIONS EVEN AFTER ACTIVATION.
Actually I found out that somehow Samsung has hidden and/disabled many USEFUL features (and Blocking Mode is one of them...)
I tried to re-enable it but my Settings app kept force closing - proving that I must have been wrong somewhere....

Found it and its work.

- Slide notification icon on preview to perform additional actions (if available), such as gmail archive, reply missed call with SMS, etc..
- Set position and size, anywhere you want on your lock screen. (be careful not to prevent access to locker icon)
- Set any colors you want as your title color, text color, icon background and notification background.
- Top, Bottom or Center vertical alignment of the notifications list.
NiLS FP requires NiLS to be up and running with the latest version from Google Play. Download NiLS from Google Play.

2. Activate tester on Google Play.
3. Download NiLS FP from Google Play.
Installation:
1. Install NiLS from Google Play
2. Follow NiLS instructions and enable the service.
3. DO NOT Add NiLS widget to your lock screen.
4. Install NiLS FP using instructions above.
5. Lock your screen, when you'll get a notification, it will be displayed on the center of the screen. long click it to resize and set position, or go to NiLS FP settings to set up colors and alignment.
Please let me know if it works for you (please mention your device model) or if you have any suggestions or bug reports.
Screenshots:
Works on SGS3 4.1.2.
This is the best notifications app I've tried so far
A bit laggy but works on my Xperia Z 4.2.2.
Would be great if both apps would be merged.
Installed nils+ on htc one x/cm10.2nightly
I'll give it a go next few days and see if I can make up some suggestions
This is just what I needed.
Let me try this

Ok, works very good.
suggestion: build some kind of filter, I get notifications from xprivacy, titanium media sync and apps I installed through the web playstore. Notifications which I personally find not interesting enough to display on the lockscreen. Maybe something like: "press 5 seconds on the notification to put the app on the ignorelist"
I would pay for nils+ by the way, how much is it gonna cost?

ok, ignore my previous post, it's in the nils app, not in the nils+. I assume it will work
@Roymam I have NiLS from the Play Store installed as of right now... do I have to uninstall that version, then download and install v1.2.5r2, then download and install NiLS+ v0.5r5?! Thanks man, awesome app, been using it for about 2 weeks now, used to use DashClock but find this much better!!
EDIT: Nevermind v1.2.5r2 just went live on the Play Store!

You right - you can set to ignore apps on NiLS settings.
I cannot guarantee prices yet. But the introduction price will be as low as I can.

Does this work with widgetlocker?, i have the original nils on my phone and tablet running on top of widgetlocker
My other question is, does this have the ability to keep the notifications even if theyre no longer on the status bar or if i click them? In the original Nils it doesnt do this even if i check the option to do it
I really would like to have that option

1. Yes. Choose WidgetLocker on Lock Screen App option on NiLS+ Service Settings.
2. Yes. Disable two-way sync on NiLS Service Settings.

NiLS+ is an overlay for any lockscreen. You can use your stock lockscreen with stock clock or any other lockscreen widget.

Feedback
Hi!
I´am using this fantastic app from the start and helped with the first translations. A great project!
Here is my feedback for the new extension:
1. There are apps that add always new lines to the same notification. The problem is that new lines are added to the end of the list. But I need the newest line on top (it´s also an issue with the main app).
2. It happens too often that you accidentally swipe down and kill all entries. There should be a symbol to reach (match) or something else (like you have to do to unlock to the app directly).
3. I would be great to delete expanded notifications my dragging the icon on a symbol like a trashcan
4. How about a system where you can flip through all expanded notifications or display the next one after deleting the current?
5. There should be a mode where you can use the extension together with the widget of the main-app to have the configurable clockfaces...
Keep on rockin!

Once you get the right google search app google home works on the stock G2 rom awesome! also Hangouts works great for me
FIXED VELVET LINK in original post it was in. Sorry. It's late here and I'm tired. Copying and pasting defeated me.
As for Search not working, it doesn't basically right now. Don't forget, we don't have 4.4 so some things will only work fully when we update. However, I read this that one guy did to apparently fix it
"If Google Now/Search is force closing on you...
Go to Settings > Language and Input > Language
And change it to "Espanol (Espana)" (Another language may work, but I tried it with this one)
Go back home, and try to make a search. If you don't know Spanish, say "me hablo espanol" (me hah-blow s-pan-yole)
Go back to Settings and change it back to English. See if this works.
It fixed it for me." I cannot say it does or doesn't work at all however.

I presume that will be a physical part of 4.4 itself, and not just the launcher app. As the transparent bars are a part of the rom itself in 4.4 I think.
