I rooted and installed Google Apps (Market, Gmail, Talk, Voice, Maps, etc.) & Go Launcher on Monday and today all of them are hidden from the Kindle Launcher. Gmail and Google Talk are still running because I still get notifications from them.
Did this happen to anyone else?
Anyone know how to unhide them? A reboot didn't help.
I'm guessing a reinstall will bring them back, but for how long?
Sounds like you are runnng the Kindle launcher, did you set that as the default launcher? Once rooted and with Go Launcher installed, Go Launcher should be your default launcher.
You're right!
I cleared the defaults for the Kindle Launcher and can access the Google Apps from Go Launcher.
Thanks!

First off, I am a NOOB. So take what I did with a grain of salt, it may not be right. If I could get a senior member to check this out as well. I installed 2 launchers, go launcher hd and adw launcher ex. Then installed wallpaper wizardii, now I can use my pictures to set the background. You have to use "no scroll" in the settings. I am still playing with the functions, and it looks better on go launcher hd than adw launcher ex, but it works.
Rooted kfhd , step by step set up.
Do you have to be rooted to install launchers? I am un rooted and it never shows up in my app list. I can side load just fine, just not launchers. Tried Nova and go had.

if you are rooted, if you move the apps to system/app you can change there permissions. This allows for you to change the launcher to any launcher by default. So that when you press the home button you don't have to be forced back into the amazon launcher. Completely different from side loading the apps. I highly recommend it if you prefer a different launcher like me.

Ok thank you, I did not know that I had to change the permissions and file location. I am going to root my Fire tomorrow and then I will do that.

Word to the wise--DO NOT set your new launcher as default until you are very sure it is working ok. You can get stuck in the boot loader and believe me it is no fun!
Ok I have rooted it and installed apex and it is very nice. Everything is working smoothly. Now i might go make a theme pack to make it look like stock ics. What are the dangers of modifying framework-res.apk?

Luckily, there is a star sympol, which you can get in to Silk browser, after that you can scroll down notify , get in to setting and clear Go laucher default.

Although I can only make out half of what you wrote - I can confirm I too had this problem with Apex ("Apex has stopped working"). Luckily, I was able to get into my email through the favorites star and clear defaults. I dont know why, but the Apex launcher will not work for me.

Blurry kindle wallpapers
For anyone whose having a trouble finding a good unblurrywallpaper for you Kindle Fire (if using a launcher):
Search the Google Play store for an app called Wallbase
Once installed, go to Settings --> Resolution --> Select "2560x1600"
Find a wallpaper you like and set it as you wallpaper. WALA! You can also save it so you can ur wallpaper while offline via Wallbase.
I hope people who have problems with blurry Kindle wallpapers get to see this. I was surprised when I found this out! GOOD LUCK!
Hello.
I have Nexus 7 with Android 4.1.2. How to change icon (applications) order in Applications tab? If I hold the icon I can only drop in into desktop or uninstall but I can't move it in another place.
Best regards
Some non-stock launchers have options for the App drawer. You might check out Nova, Apex, Go, Trebuchet, etc. in Play Store or their individual websites. I don't know one specifically that offers what you want, but it wouldn't hurt to check them out. Is it really a problem to find an app sorted alphabetically in the App drawer.
Stock launcher doesn't let you do it. You could try something like Nova Launcher Prime. That allows allows you to hide the ones you don't want to see.
Shield is absolutely amazing, but it's home screen is painful.
How can I change the default home launcher to something else?
Thanks!
You'll need to uninstall the current update from Google's TV Launcher, then install a 3rd party Launcher like "HALauncher". Also, turn auto updates off in Google Play Store settings so HALauncher will fix as your default launcher...

Hi,
I've uninstalled the Latested Updates but Hal Launcher is still not being set as the Main Launcher. Even though it's selected as Home App. I don't get any option to set it as Default.
I've tried to clear the defaults from Learnback Launcher but that didn't work.
Don't want to Root now just incase I wish to return it. Still all new for me and want to test it out as much as possible.
Thanks
Hello.
Is there any way i can remove the google search bar from the home screen of the yotaphone 2 without root and with stock launcher ? (any to "simply" uninstall it)
Thanks
I'd like also and don't want to root. I used Novalaucher to remove google search, but there were problems. Many things had disappeared! So, I came back to Google launcher
I'd also like to know if this is possible. I'd rather not have it on my home screen.
I also hate it. Maybe installing some other different launcher?
There's an option in nova launcher for this but I haven't tried it on the yota. It works on every other device I've tried though.

I've installed Nova launcher, removed the google bar and changed the menu color to AMOLED-friendly black. No issues by now

Things did not disappeared, when you change launcher, and Nova Launcher is a Launcher, all the widgets and so on are removed from the screens, you have to activate your widgets on the new launcher, you apps and widgets are still there, you just have to configure them on the new Launcher.
Nova Launcher is actually one of the best launchers, you can actually make a backup of your widgets and icons arrangements with it, Arrow launcher is also very interesting.
Keep in mind, when you change launcher you widgets locations icons, etc are reseted, so if you want to try a new launcher, you have to backup the launcher settings, Nova Launcher and Arrow Launcher has a backup function built in, Google Now launcher does not, you can use Titanium BackUp Manager to make a backup of any app and it's settings, including Google Now Launcher, but for that you would need Root.

Thank you. I'm using Nova launcher from years on different phomes. I don't remember what happened with Yotaphone.
I ordered a new one and make trial again.
Picked up one of these phones for my new teenager, thinking I could lock everything down well between an applock app and norton family app. But I can't seem to get rid of the google search bar on the home screen and can't lock the google app in the menu. And neither of these google search capabilities are monitored by norton family.
What can I do to uninstall/disable/lock this google search app?
I installed nova launcher, but the google app is still available in the menu, and the applock app doesn't see it (since it's native?).
So far I discovered I can hide apps from the drawer in nova launcher, but the app lock apps I have won't let me lock the nova settings (doesn't appear in the list of apps). I also installed a different keyboard and locked the system settings.
Is there a way to lock the app drawer or nova settings?
