Immovable Google search - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After reboot, this Google search bar just permanently placed itself and I lost the theme option completely. Any ideas?

What Rom and mods are you using? That looks like what a Samsung UI search looks like.
Did you recently install a Mod?

Stock rom. I just noticed I lost the ability to theme individual icons. Instead of the option to name and change icon, it just picks it up and I have option to delete or show info. Maybe my launcher is gone? I had x posed with g2 settings installed but I uninstalled them. Would an option to select theme just disappear?

A theme option should be here right?

Yes, there should be an option at the top. Something tells me that a theme you tried to install conflicted with the stock rom that might have not been compatible.
If youve added any mods or themes I would freeze or remove them in titanium backup and restart and see if that fixes the issue.

Most of my theme icons came back except the apps icon after few reboots. Does titanium detect and let me remove themes even if my option to theme is gone?

Yes because after you flash the zips in recovery they become apk's

Ok hmm, can you see them in titanium Bu? They should be apk's, if so go on and try uninstalling them. This should fix your problem if its a theme conflicting with your stock image.

I had this issue as well.
I did factory reset and all was better.
It seems that I somehow I installed my home launcher.

only way to do a factory reset is to install a recovery right?

[Q} What 'Launcher' is this?

I'm on stock ROM with tablet mode enabled (changed DPI in build.prop) and this is my home screen. I really like the app launcher being the discrete little icon in the top corner but I have no idea how to change settings to get that there on another ROM. I've loaded several different ROMs but always end up restoring my backup just for that launcher!
Can anybody tell me what that is and how to configure it on other ROMs?
That's the stock launcher in tablet mode.

I knew the answer would be simple. Thank you! So if I want that on another ROM I can just extract Launcher2.apk from this one and install elsewhere? Or do I need other files too?

Just put the other rom into tablet mode via dpi and it'll do it automatically. Or use paranoid android and select everything to be tablet without changing DPI.

I had tried that on Paranoid but was still left with the phone launcher. I'm going to play around a bit tonight though. I've got 3 or 4 ROMs downloaded and I'll see which one I can make work. Thanks again.

Messaging box color

Hey,
Just picked up this phone came from a Note 2.
Anyways i cant find any settings to get the messaging box where all the texts are from everyone to be black. its white/gray and it looks ugly with my swiftkey thanks
Cedric
Hey bud, I'm guessing you want to change the color of the bubbles? Go to the main text screen (shows all your active texts) and hit the menu button on your phone. From there you'll be able to access settings and change a few things.
EDIT= Just realized what you were talking about. I hate it too! I have everything on my phone dark and that's the only screen that's white. I'm not sure if you can change it.

Mines black by default? See my screenshot below.
But someone over in the theming section remade the apk, I think you can just install it, might have to replace the old one I'm not sure since mines black and I don't need it.
Ahh it's going to drive me crazy. And I don't want to root it.

Try this modded apk from the themes section. I believe you can just install it without needing to root

How? No idea, I've got the Rogers S4 up in Canada so maybe its our firmware? My SMS/MMS contacts and dialer are all black by default, wait till you have an unlocked boot loader and maybe flash our ROM? There's also no lag
If anybody wants to try to use my default SMS /MMS here's a link to a zip with both the apk and odex files you'll need to copy into yours system / apps folder
**THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP**
**YOU MUST EXTRACT MANUALLY AND PUSH MANUALLY**
Side note : you make be able to simple side load the apk as normal but I'm not sure. Report back if you'd like
I can also do contacts / dialer as well
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xuepksbhn22lla4/SecMMS.zip
Might be interested in the contacts apk....first going to see if I can get the MMS to at&t to work

Hey buddy I would love for you to help us out. I'm not rooted so I'm not sure if it matters. I extracted the file into the System Application folder. I can click on the APK but after trying to install it, it says cannot install application. Help!

[Help] Nova launcher & custom icons

Coming from the Galaxy Nexus, I could change app icons on Nova launcher to custom icons I made myself which I placed in the Pictures folder.
Now however, I cant do the same. Nothing changes after selecting the icon I want. Downloaded icon themes work though...
Is this a bug in Nova itself?
Thanks.

I click edit, select Gallery, choose the custom icon I want, crop, select done, and nothing changes.
A few others are having the same problem back on the Nova launcher Xda page too...

Tried restarting Nova?

You are clicking the correct mark on the left top, to left of Edit Shortcut?
I am running custom rom - [V0.3] Doc's Barebone aosp hybrid (WIP)
same problem
Since Nova updated to 2.1 I am encountering the same trouble!
I used to change stock icons with icons in my gallery but now it just can't seem to work.
I follow the same step as described above. I'm on a i9505 Galaxy S4 with Omega V3. I had the same issue on stock firmware.
Have you found any solution ?
Great news! The latest beta update fixes this problem.

Same problem here but I've installed the latest beta and the problem has been fixed with that update.
Install the latest beta (2.1.1) from here. This will fix the issue with custom icons not sticking

Thanks, tried pushing both of those to the priv—app folder and changing permission and ownership but they still don't show up in the app drawer. Anything I am missing?

I don't know about the app you mentioned, but there were a couple of apps in the N4 Apps & Themes forum which did this - but it seems they work for 4.3 only.
As mentioned, there are apps which work via Exposed framework which will do what you are looking for (though bear in mind Exposed needs the Dalvik not Art, runtime).
Another good option is to try some ROMs - most of the popular ones have extensive UI customisation, such as battery, clock, navigation bar (the one at the bottom).
Download a ROM and its Gapps (eg AICP ROM and its Gapps, which I use and I can recommend, it's a good place to start)
Reboot into recovery.
Backup your current ROM (creates an image you can restore if you don't like the new ROM)
Wipe: data/system/cache/dalvik. NOT internal storage
Install the ROM and its Gapps
Reboot and begin to setup your phone
If you have Titanium Backup Pro or similar, you can restore all your user apps and data to the new ROM. Generally not recommended to restore system apps or data.
It may sound like a lot of effort to get a battery icon, but you also get a better ROM (faster, better battery and highly customisable UI). With the backup you took, if you don't like your new ROM, all you need to do is:
Go into Recovery,
Wipe data/system/dalvik/cache
Restore the backup
Reboot
