As of today, maybe yesterday, Google Discover (minus one page) crashes if I click on my icon on top right corner.
Anyone else?
Yes, for me it's the same.
But when i click on the colored letter G in search widget, than this settings works fine.
Maybe Google Discover needs an update.

Ok, I apologize as I know the answer is somewhere in XDA (I saw it once), but for the life of me I cannot find it via XDA's search function or google. Apparently bad search fu today.
I'm running a custom ROM that has all apps enabled for multi-window use. Which is great. But the problem is when I choose an application that is not on the first screen of apps, it will choose one from the first page instead (in I think roughly the same location of the screen). The only "work around" I've been able to deduce is on the first screen (w/o scrolling), drag the bottom right app into the multiwindow bar. Then remove it fro there. This will shift the apps up by one spot. Then repeat this until you get the app you want.
This becomes annoying when the app you want is towards the bottom of the list.
Anyone know of a better way of doing this? I recall this same issue on my S2, but perhaps I didn't have any many apps installed so it wasn't such a big deal.
Thanks

I'm using Facebook for Android both on my phone and tablet.
Some time ago I applied for beta testers for Facebook Android app, and soon new version of Facebook app was out, with main difference that instead of three buttons in top bar there were now four, the left bar disappeared, and option to choose between top stories and most recent stories was gone. Also if I scrolled through news feed, and chose an external link, upon going back to Facebook, the app threw me at the top of the news feed.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, and saying that I wasn't pleased is an understatement.
So I got out of beta testers, uninstalled the app and via google play, I installed the standard app. The old layout and options were back UNTIL I turned off the app for a few hours. As soon as I opened it again, the new layout was back. Does ANYBODY have any idea why this happens? My girlfriend has the same app on SG4, with a screensize larger than on my phone, and with regular updates, she has the old layout from the begining?
Interestingly, if I force stop the app in app manager, the old layout returns, but only for a short time because if I leave the app, and open it again in a hour or so, the new layout returns.
Any help would be appreaciated. I would REALLY like the old layout back

Just install apk from 4shared be sure to have unknown sources checked in settings
I like to see good old dialpad on my phone screen when I'm about to make a call.
Unfortunately Google decided that calling on the phone using numpad is a secondary feature but fortunately I work in a company that employs few Android developers and they did a 2 minute side project for me. The result is an app that launches dialpad within the stock phone app so that I can replace the phone icon on my home screen with the one that takes me direct to good old phone interface. (icon is labeled "Call")
I have tested the app on my Nexus 5 with both Android version. 4.4.4 and 5.0 and it seems to work fine.
Probably I'm not the only one who misses the old phone interface but who would like to keep using the stock dialer app, so i decided to share what I got for fixing it
-----------------------------------------------------
Update 04.08.2016
Sorry for not keeping this thread up to date but i have posted the app to Play Store ages ago.
I can't post links but search for "Classic Dialer for Lollipop" in Play store.
Update 07.11.2016
Changed the name of the app in Play Store to plain and simple "Dialpad".

Thank you so much for this! I can't believe this did not receive more attention. Works great on Slim 4.4.4. :good:

No, you are not the only one. I really hated it when I first tried KitKat and Lollipop, and the numpad / digits would not show right away. Thank you for sharing this with everyone, it works great on Lollipop. :good:
I believe this still exists in Marshmallow. Google should really make this an option in the default app. The current behavior does not work for everyone and not everyone will find your app (or even bother looking).
5.0, 5.01, 6.x confirmed!
So...months have gone by with this annoyance... I'm running CM13, Android M.. like the other guy said, I cannot believe this app hasn't gained more attention. I have found that some of this is due to the wording of the issue at hand...kept getting alternative dialer apps in my results....BLASPHEMY... So..yeah.. So everyone knows, this also works with not only the stock dialer, but Dialer for Hangouts as well as Skype.
Too bad I can only hit "THANKS" once...
Thank you.

with no intention to hijack your great contriubtion:
there's an xposed module that does the same thing with native app>> show dialpad
where were you before i found out this one?!
i'm sure most of the people don't want to mess with xposed, like myself, and will appreciate the provided solution(s)....
:good:
A Little Added Information...
It works very well under Nougat also. :good: Use the back button to access the recent's list.
This works on Marshmallow, if someone's wondering.
Ran across this thread trying to find a solution for the same problem. Having had a look at the linked app, I realized it was just sending some kind of intent that caused the phone app to open to the dialpad. Long story short, the Tasker "Call" action (with no phone number specified) does the same thing, so if you have Tasker, you can just create a shortcut to a task with that one action.
Well done! Thank you!
I DLed, from Play Store, following the link in the OP.
No more favorites page, when opening dialer! If you do want the favorites page, just hit the back button after opening dialer.
After a reboot it still opens the dial pad!
Using on the Moto Dialer app on Moto Z2 Play.
GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!
Works on motor 4 on 7.1.1 thanks for this
Still works on Stock Nougat. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks so much. Just what I was looking for! ??

Thank you so much. I have been trying to implement this for yearsss. Failed everytime up until today. Now i can swipe and hold the back gesture and the dial pad emerges Thanks!
Ok guys !
This is my first post ever - so I apologize if it's in the wrong place.
I'm running Nova Launcher Prime 4.0.2 on a Droid Turbo (Verizon). I bought the launcher to remove the Google Persistent Search Bar (which I HATE). I did it, but this newest version seems to have relocated the search bar, from the home screen, to being visible when I click on the "recent apps" button (lower right hand multi-window looking button on device).
Ugghhh ... cant attach a pic - OR post a link to show exactly what I'm talking about ?!?!??! Hope I've been clear enough....
I've been fumbling around this phone for WEEKS trying to figure out how to KILL Google once and for all - but just can't seem to figure it out.
HHHEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP
afaik, recent apps is a rom thing - doesn't have anything to do with launchers...
only search bar that has connections to Nova launcher is the homescreen one - and that one can be removed even with a free version of Nova...
So what do I do ?

Ok - so what do I do to get rid of that monster ?!
Ermm, I'm not sure if this is nova. You can just drag and remove the wretched search bar widget. Not sure what's up with the recent apps stuff.

i don't know... i never saw a google search bar in recent apps on any device/roms so far...
i'm not familiar with motorola and their roms (i use LG G2) but i'm sure there is a sub-forum for your device here on XDA - try searching...
Hi All,
Pretty sure the Google Settings was an option in the Settings menu of the notification shade - but I just can't find it. Had an update this morning (looks like March's security update) and wondering if it has moved it. It's not an app under the app drawer either.
Anyone else know where it is?
I think a google play services update got rid of that a while ago. Just go to the google folder and open "Google" and then use the hamburger menu to access the settings.
Settings-Applicastions- at bottom, there is Google settings.

Bingo! Knew I'd seen it somewhere. Funny thing is, it doesn't show up in the settings search feature (which is a superb feature in general IMHO)
