I am considering in buying a nexus 7 and I already own a gnex and loving it.
So is it possible?
You can tell me anything you wish to say about the tablet
Thanks and HV a nice day

Sure, use a different launcher.
If you are looking for general info... READ... there are lots of threads and if you are waiting for your device to show up, what else do you have to do with your time.
Then when it arrives, you will have all that info you already gleamed out of the forums and hit the road running.
OR, you can wait until you get your device and then ask a ton of questions which have already been answered be you now need the info right away.

I mean the bar with the back home and recent button...
The nav bar as gnex users call it

different launcher or custom rom.
Many custom ROMs have a setting for this

He meant the nav
Everytime after I received a call (for example, while using Waze while driving), the phone would return to the phone app instead of Waze.
Is there a setting to disable this behavior and let the phone return to the app that was running prior to accepting the call?
There is, I don't remember where I saw it, give me 2min

I'm on CM10.1 Nightly and doesn't see it, maybe Xylon has it. I'll query it in the CM10.1 thread.

That does allow several things to happen, but not return to the previously run app... It's annoying that when I'm driving with a navi app up, and someone called then the screen would return to the call log. What I'm trying to do is to get the screen back to the navi up immediately.
Is this even possible?

AOKP just released a build today with that option in the dialer. Maybe you can just extract it from there and push it to your phone.

OMG I was shocked to see the Note 3, just like the Note 2, only has a 4x5 grid on the homescreen. What I don't understand is how Samsung can develop a device with a huge screen, and then totally forget that they can make use of the extra room to place more icons. Even the original Note had 5 columns in the home screen by default (I owned the original Note, the Note 2 and now the Note 3).
I wanted to fix this using something like Assassin tools just like I did when I got my Note 2 a few months ago. Then I read about the Knox warranty void 0x1 on the Note 3. I don't want to void my warranty, although I find it completely rediculous that a user can loose warranty cause he wants to install another (modified) operating system to his device. Suppose Microsoft forbid me to install Linux on my PC!
But okay, we have to deal with it and we probably can't fix this problem (making Samsung change it's strategy) easily. So now it's becoming a challange to solve the wish for a more customizable home screen. How can we do that without root? Yes you could use a custom launcher, but I really like the Touchwiz launcher and it's widgets. Does anybody have ideas how to create a customizable grid on the Touchwiz homescreen to place icons and widgets, without the need to get the phone rooted?
Also: why can't we set the dpi per app? Same goes here, we have such nice devices with big screens, I'd love to have control over the per app dpi in Touchwiz! Is that possible without root? Anybody have a solution for that?
Or do I have to issue a ticket to the Samsung development team and clearify my wishes? And if so, will they listen?
I don't understand how you could be shocked by it, You must of already known this before buying the phone? the Samsung launcher had always been the same just like the xperia launcher etc
As for customising it if you don't want to root your phone right now when it is possible, im afraid you will have to wait it out. Try some other launchers at the moment besides I'm pretty sure most of the widgets work on different launchers

Ok I was not shocked in that kind of way (I love the Note series enough to keep buying each increment), but I can imagine that I'm not the only user with such a big screen who wished there was more room to place icons and use apps optimized for big screens. So the shock is that apparentely I am the only one complaining about this, or Samsung doesn't listen....

Fair enough that's just the Samsung launcher though, it's not the "Note3 launcher" I suggest installing nova launcher or apex and replicating the touchwiz look with themes or icon packs for now, just be patient it was only released a few days a go ^^

Mate, I tried searching, but your thread didn't show up. Sorry... And yes, I'm a bad poster, I have a lot of knowledge from reading all threads and keep up with the development, but I'm always afraid to give an advise (we know there were brick risks, now KNOX..). But I really appreciate all the good work, knowledge and skills here. Again sorry!

Ok I'll try Nova (just installed Apex today, because I bought it earlier, but I''l give this one a look, since it seems like Touchwiz is not mod-dable without braking warranty). Thanx!!

Hehe, no problem at all!! To be honest: much more people should open up such a thread, making Samsung realize that it is necessary to work on this.
So: lets keep both (and more) threads (of this kind) up!

Samsung just says "if you want more options, install another launcher. We're not stopping you."
That's the point of Android. Don't like it, change it.
I got rid of the Stock launcher within the first 30 minutes of purchasing my first Android phone (S3.) Haven't left Apex Pro since.

Yeah it works but I can only make shortcuts to apps, not to (for example) browser bookmarks. Also missing the icon labels. But indeed it's a solution and I like the idea. I'll search for better widget and share when found. Thanx!

Hello everyone!
I just updated my Nexus 4 to Android 4.4, but it seems there has changed as good as nothing. (I was running Nova Launcher when I was updating, if that is relevant).
I don't find any of the new functions of the new android version: normally you can just swipe from the left to acces google now, but not on my Nexus. Everything seems to be just like android 4.3: the appdrawer, the homescreens, ... There are only a few things that have actually changed: the icons, the settings menu and the lockscreen.
I thought the problem could have been that I was running Nova Launcher while installing the update.
Does someone know what I can do to have the full Kitkat experience? I've already deleted Nova Launcher by now and the stock Launcher is set as default.
Could a clean install help me out?
PS: I can post some screenshots later if my explanation here isn't clear.
Thanks in advance!
Are you sure you updated? And are you sure you set Google search as your launcher in the launcher settings?
Sent from my N4, wanna know what I am doing? Check http://team-fun.eu
Search for and install Googlehome.apk
Nexus 4 KitKat update is different from Nexus 5. For example 4 is missing the new Google Experience launcher, transparent lockscreen. For GEL just install Google Home. For full transparent lockscreen flash this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527525.
Also if you like Nova launcher, join Nova launcher beta group on Google+ and became a tester. Nova beta supports transparent bars (you need enable it in settings).

I'm not sure why you bothered ether since we are both technically in the right.
Forget search it's lately almost always at the top of general (excluding sticky threads). If you can find how to post a new thread I'm sure you can find a highly active thread in general.

It's just that the constant “use the search” type of replies are about as effective as the war on drugs. You can take a dealer or user off the streets, but that will not do anything to actually impact the level of drug use or distribution. Likewise, there will always be people who don't use the search, so why not just ignore them so the thread dies, or actually offer a helpful response.
I'm more in the right. But that's probably because I'm awesome.

Installing Google Home did the job for me.

Don't think it would be any different than the other "trusted" options like face, location, and on-body. They are just smart compliments to backup pin/pattern locks.
Has anyone here received this update yet? I've been anxiously awaiting its arrival or been searching for an APK download. Looking forward to trying it out.
installed the latest, and it seemed to disable all security options... i would hold off

it would have to be fixed/enabled in the rom. but you might have a temporary solution, if it still works. i started a thread last year about this, and not working on aosp roms. until we finally found a solution to it(just some missing files in aosp source). check out the thread, yes its old now, but you might find a temporary solurion in there that will work for you. and please ask, thats the only way we will find out if its the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ok-google-everywhere-aosp-rom-t2963716
