Google Experience Launcher / Nova Launcher - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I tested today Google Experience Launcher, it has a nice feature, when you swip with your finger to left, than you see Google Now.
I want that to, but only with Nova Launcher, how is that posible?
Unfortanely, I don't like the Google Experience Launcher, only the Google Now function when you swipe with your finger to the right.
Many thanks my friends!

from what i tried with the Nova launcher is that you can get the transparency but nothing else...the Google Now side i think that is a closed source

Pff, I never don't have luck.
Oke, thanks man, It should be a nice feature with Nova Launcher.

Exactly.
I enjoyed using Nova to change icon size and enlarge the grid to fit more icons in the row. Even if you don't make any changes other than getting rid of the Google search widget, I'd recommend giving Nova a try.

Google GEL and KK launchers question

So I'm looking for a custom launcher that has tweak ability wiht Google Now integration.
However, all the launchers I've found on the Play store does not have a feature to swipe out of Google Now.
For example, the original google now launcher allows you to enter and exit google now by swiping left/right of the screen.
but other custom launchers have a feature to swip in to the Google Now but does not have a feautre of swiping out and entering the launcher again. ( Gotta press home button or back button)
So I was wondering if there were any custom launchers out there that has a feature of entering and "exiting" Google Now screen by just swiping.
Thanks!.

The google now APIs haven't been released by google therefore developers have no way of including swipe to google now in their launchers. The closest you'll get on a custom launcher is either putting a google now widget on the far left of your launcher screen or using a launcher like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.epic.launcher Otherwise use xposed and xgel module and you've got a custom launcher and google now on the left. Hopefully google will release the APIs in the next android version.

Remove the google search bar without root nor custom launcher

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.

FYI, you can make Nova Launcher function pretty much exactly like Pixel Launcher. Just a thought...

Access to Recent apps is slow with Nova Launcher

Hello,
I'm used to Nova Launcher and physical buttons for many years. Since I switched to the OP8P I use on-screen gestures and OP launcher.
Today I tried Nova and opening the recent apps screen takes more time than the stock launcher and it's not smooth.
Is it a known limitation?
Thank you.
Demo: https://drive.proton.me/urls/Q2J16AZKNG#EyyLTmEtkOYW
Works flawless on my device
Do you use 120hz display settings or 60hz?

120hz
It only happens when I open the recent apps from the homescreen. No problem from Firefox for example.
Did you tweak something in Nova to improve the gestures?
As a workaround, I now open the recent apps screen with a swipe up from the homescreen.
No I didn't change anything,
I normaly use the 3 buttons but I tested it with the gestures earlier and it works super fast.
Thats what it looks like

Same as Deavy already said, I also don't have that delay. I am still on OOS 11 though, so I can't speak for any newer versions.

OK so it seems you have the same problem.
With OP stock launcher, you can swipe up then hold to the left to directly switch to another app.
With Nova launcher, you cannot hold and directly switch to another app. You have to release your finger then press again to select another app.
Ok than it´s normal behavior in nova launcher i would say.
Im not familiar with gestures, but couldnt you switch between apps with a swipe from the left or right side directly?

Sure I can. Not a big deal to press again the screen to select an app but it's not as good as OP launcher.
