So I got my Dad a Note 3, and he isn't tech savy.
He really likes the Weather App that comes on the phone and is constantly deleting it.
I need to find an app to make the deleting of apps on the home screen tougher.
Chang to Nova home and it automatically locks apps

So I know this isn't nexus 4 specific . but I am using one ..
People have always told me that swiping away apps doesn't close them. I disagree.
If I open an app . then swipe it away . you can watch it reload .. Also open an app and go to running apps or cached apps and you will see it there
Now swipe it away and it will disappear from running or cached .. Surely its closed now ?

It closes it as much as Android needs it to?

Yeah, it basically says to the app "Please close?". The app can agree politely, ignore it entirely, or anything in between
Swiping is similar to a close with the back button.

Its more like killing the app ONLY if the app I unnecessary. For example, if you clear the browser after the use, android will get rid of it from ram but if it is light flow or setting app which needs to be ran the whole time, the app doesn't close.

Apparently there is a limit to how many apps you can jam into a single folder on the home screen. Is there an app or trick that I can use to fit more apps into a single folder?

I think it doesnt allow scrolling in a folder..
So you can, maybe try to use a 3rd party launcher(nova/apex) to increase home screen widget capacity..

This didn't happen when I got my phone last week, but now anytime I edit something on a home screen or within the app drawer, my screen that I am on automatically moves two to the left. Any idea why this would be and what i would need to do to stop it?
I apologize if this is a dumb question, didn't find any other threads with it, and am a new user to Android since switching from my iPhone so it may be something simple I am missing.

I found out that it only happens when I have anything in motion enabled since that allows me to switch which page I'm on by moving the phone, but it constantly moves two to the left still when enabled which is especially frustrating when I want to move apps inside of a folder

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.

Hello everyone..
I'm looking for a way to keep some apps from "hibernating" when they are not in focus or when the phone in locked (It's not an issue with most apps but some apps do this). For example, if I want to only listen to the audio of a video file, I have to keep the app in focus and the phone not locked (screen on) or else the app hibernates. Other apps that uses internet goes offine if the phone is locked.
I remember using a method with my old iphone 3g to multitask that kept the apps from knowing they are backgrounded and kept them on even when the phone is locked. Is there anything that could achieve what I'm looling for here?
Thanks in advance
