Since I bought the new Nexus 7 (2013), I want to give my original Nexus 7 to my daughter.
The problem is that she is three years old
So, I want to prepare the home screen for her...
Put all the games shortcut...
Then somehow hide or remove the app drawer...
Make it like kiosk mode
But, I can still reactivate back the app drawer. I don't know, probably via specific gestures or button combination.
Is there any way to achieve this? Special launcher?
Thanks

Yeah... You could use something like apex and delete the app drawer shortcut

If I delete it, I cannot go to the app drawer anymore.
Is there anyway to password it?

you can just delete it, whenever you need it again, all you have to do is add a launcher shortcut to the homescreen and choose appdrawer.
You could use multi-profiles and create one that's restricted to those specific apps only

Kids Mode
My 5 year old has access to my N7 and I use Kids Mode. It has saved my N7 from numerous actions 5 year olds make.
All you need to do is just have the Kids mode on the home screen, she can choose it and everything pops up and the tab is then shut down to what ever you dont allow access to.
It is the best $10 I have ever spent!! Or free if you dont want to really hone into the full features of the app.
There are a few apps like kid lock(famingo) that work well for this. UT defaults to the app, but you can unlock it and use it like normal.

I somehow don't feel the need to see an extra pane showing me labels and all. On top of that I think it's killing the precious space. I just like the plain jane look with just the email list or the email details.
Is there a way to turn off the panels ? I would want to get the same look as what I had in my NOTE.
Can't believe that no one replied here.

Use other apps???
I have the same question as u.....can't fix that, I just took it...

On my Nook the app is single pane.....not sure what would happen if I sideload it onto the Nexus 7....I will give it a try and see what happens.

Its because of the phablet UI, the app is the same on both devices so sideloading won't do a thing

Sideloading will not work. The version on my Nook is not compatible with the Nexus. Also... on the Nexus Gmail is a system app.

Flash Paranoidandroid. You can change whether it shows in phone mode or tablet mode.
Siri Proxy allows you to control additional devices with a Siri device. So I thought there must be something similar available for Android.:fingers-crossed:So we can also control our garages with Android devices

Can't this be done with Google Now? Seems like it would be a feature.

I have been wanting something like this as well.
To have an application to do this though, you would have to have two parts two it.
First part would be an app on your Android device, and the other part would be something that runs on a computer @ the house.
Reason for this is because you would want a secure connection between your phone and the app. Otherwise, anyone/everyone would be able to access your home automation system.
If there is anything like this, that would be awesome, but I don't think there is
The closest thing you can get to it is HomeSeer, but it isn't voice activated. It's only buttons.
If anyone knows of a program that would do voice activation home automation, please let me know!
My Brother just picked up the Nexus 7 with 4G. He's an iPhone guy switching over slowly.
Anyways, he asked me for some good Widgets. I said an Android classic is the "News and Weather" genie widget. He said that's not on this tablet. I told him to look under apps, for News and Weather, and sane under the Widget tab. He said nope, not there.
Did Google remove that classic Widget ?

Anyone ?
I don't own the Nexus 7 myself. Just a Galaxy Nexus, and a Note 2 running CM10.1 and the "News and Weather" genie widget is standard.
Is it not installed on the Nexus 7 ?

Nope not installed on the nexus 7. I read somewhere on here Google does not support it any more or something like that?
I've tried to side load the apk file to my n7 many times with no success.
However I am running clean ROM inheritance 3.2 and it comes with the ROM.
I am new to all this stuff. This is what I don't understand, the app is listed as transperent. It does not show up in titanium backup and I can't find it with root explorer.
I have no idea what is going on with this app.
I hope someone can clear this up

I done a couple of Google searches and can't find anything to really help me. I don't know if this has been asked before or not? But I'm coming from an iPhone where when I had my phone locked I could double click the home button and change the song. Is there anyway I can do that with the s4? And also I ran the iOS 7 beta before I got this phone and they had an option where I could swipe up and the control center would pop-up and it'll have a bunch of random things and I could change the song. I've seen something like that for android but only thing missing was to change the music. I hate unlocking my phone and going back to the app just to change the song and I don't want to use s-voice to change it.

That, plus it should or can be enabled in the notifications pulldown. I'm in the same boat, just sold my I5 for a galaxy s4. New to Android.. love it. The fact that the whole market is basically what cydia was is awesome, but it's hard to find some of the features I was used to with activator and sbsettings.. In nX (nottach xposed) or 3minit Framework, the options to longpress volume toggle track skipping is available.. but I can't seem to get it to work for my I337. It is there though, most options are compatible if you're ATT as well. Worth a try.
I don't have any music on my phone I just use the unlimited Pandora which I used on a jail broken iPhone will it be able to control Pandora? I just hate having a widget on the lock screen besides the date and time. I know I'm difficult. Well I found this app on the play store “widgetlocker lock screen” but its for 2.99 I'll have to find a free alternative for the time being.

You can change songs using the notification bar. Even if the notification bar is hidden you can make it appear by doing a swipe down gesture from the top of the screen.

I guess since I'm using the older version of Pandora its not letting me swipe down to show controls.

I have full access to Pandora from my lockscreen. Take off any pattern/pin/face unlock you have on your lockscreen and the Pandora controls should show there.
Simple fix uninstall ur hacked/ warez version of Pandora and install the legal version from the any store and it will work fine and have all the options

Try draging down with the pandora player in the notification panel.

I'm not going to give Pandora anymore of my money. When I was on my iPhone they had me upgrade to pandora one for $3.99/month which i did for a year and it was like I could “listen to music unlimited“ well once I skipped 6 songs it said you reached your limit you can't skip anymore songs for an hour after I paid money for it! Not doing that ever again.

I'm running rooted android 4.4 and have tried installing the APK for flash player as well as f-droid. For both I am unable to select the "install" button but only the cancel button. I had to use aptoide to install them. Installation from outside sources is allowed. Any input?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
I had that happened before but with my MK808 Android TV stick using the mouse, I had to use the keyboard arrows keys to move it to Install.
I since changed the rom and it's working again. I don't know why it happen, but you could use "adb install" to install the apks instead.
Weird as it may seem, try to disable the Lux Auto brightness app, or any similar screen brigtness app, and then try...
This is from having an app that draws over other apps. Auto brightness apps like luxury and Velis could be the cause.

Go to system root/data/app and looking for .odex file. Delete the files and try to install back. Are you using Titanium Backup?
