Hi I got my Nexus 7 on 29 sep. A few days ago I started using Apex Launcher as its a great alternative to the default launcher. Anyways, yesterday I was just getting some general lag on everything, I was wondering if it had anything to do with Apex, I use a custom drawer interface and I only have one page. I'm new to this forum and it would be great if you replied. Thanks, Charlie

I have to admit, I used to use Apex on my S2 and found it a bit laggy at times. I decided to remove it and then everything was fine. Can't prove it but removing it worked for me. I haven't used another Launcher on a device since.

Not sure what you need to get this to work I've tried everything but apparently one of the fastest tablets on the market isn't good enough, so what are the minimum specs for this spp

I thought this just wasn't working for me because I had the tablet UI enabled.
same here. N7 with Stock ROM and with ParanoidAndroid this app doesnt work, however it works fine on my HTC Sensation.
On the paranoid ROM, can't you switch to phone ui? Maybe that will do it. (I would try but I don't have my nexus rooted yet. Having needed to lol)

No I tried messing around with the hybrid settings and it still gives me the same error. I tihnk its going by the device name
Weird. Works perfectly here on stock ROM. Restored it with the data from a backup I made on my phone using Titanium Backup.
Looks pretty good !

Use Spark 360. It is fully featured and works great.

Today I read a post that talked about some app of quiet hours.
I my mind is not bad I remember that android had this on 4.0.4???? Am I wrong? Cause my nexus 4 on 4.2.2 doesn't have it.
Thanks

Not on stock. CM has had it since gingerbread though. Maybe even froyo.

PA must have added it in because I have it and I'm running PA.
You could also use the app called - Battery Widget. It has the feature to set up quiet hours. You could also setup a tasker script for the same.
Thanks , mm yeah, I thought that was a stock option.
It would be nice google to add it.

Google just puts the bare minimum and if you want more. Do it yourself and install a app or flash a custom rom. That's the joy of having android, the possibilities of adding things yourself
I personally don't use profiles.

I actually had a similar problem last night and I'm using an older build of Xylon (March 11th), which I've been using for quite some time now. Any time I tried to open an app it forced closed. I had Pandora playing at the time this was going on (which isn't anything out of the ordinary). I rebooted and it solved my issues. This was the first time this had ever happened to me and I've been using this ROM for over a month now.

I have a nexus 4 running android 4.2.2 stock ROM and I was wondering if there was a way to add more pages to my homescreen.. Anyone know? Im new to xda BTW ?

Welcome to XDA! Best way and stay stock is to use an alternate launcher...search Play for Nova and Apex Launchers.

You will have to download the launcher yourself. Here's the link- http://www.mediafire.com/?3ina0fd8fwki5fo

Installed this so big thanks to gnotelover, but one question.. How can I add more homescreens?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Select an app or widget, and then move it to the right of the home screen and keep going. A new screen will appear.

You need to move the icon to the edge of the screen to the right, hold it there for a little. It should automatically take you to a new screen.
Thanks guys, human error... I was trying to do it with a widget, but it works with an app, not a widget..

Is this Google Now Launcher the same as the 0.10.1.920880?
Or what is the version number for this new one?

Maybe it's just me, but I tried the launcher and find it pretty lame.

Thanks Jhall8. Do you also happen to know how to stretch wallpapers too? I can't get any wallpaper to fill up the screen even very large high def images.

Thanks again. I've tried that already but didn't bode well with my favorite walls. Tried clearing data in Google search got rid of the black bar on the right of the wallpaper but stretched way too much. Oh well.
Can anyone confirm whether the latest version of Google Search and/or the latest Google Now launcher goes back to the 6 x6 grid that Google search version 3.1.8920880.arm had? Every time I tried updating to new Search version it cuts off one of the columns which throws my whole homescreen setup and wigets off. I think the updates cut it to only 5 columns

I agree. Spent 10 minutes playing with it and went back to Holo.
