I am having trouble activating now on tap on home screens. It just brings up the traditional Now/search screen. It works on everywhere else though.
Anyone seeing the same thing? I am using Nova launcher.
EDIT: just tried it on Google Now launcher, and it was fine. Not sure why it doesn't work on Nova.

OK. I have been fiddling with nova for a while but I can't find any option for home screen orientation. I went ahead and updated to prime...still no dice. Others have mentioned it working...what am I missing?
ADW works though..but I prefer Nova.

you don't need prime but that is fine. pull down your notifications window. Is the little icon set to allow the screen orientation to change or is it locked?
There is a setting in nova launcher under look and feel, screen orientation.
Under "look and feel" there is an option for screen orientation. you can choose from default, auto-rotate, force portrait, and force landscape.
If you're interested in having the Nexus 7 homescreen actually rotate, you can download Ultimate Rotation Control.
Once installed, you can choose the option "Forced Auto" and the home screen will rotate.
When I add a Play widget to a screen, only an arrow and blank rectangle appear. How do you activate them? I'm using go launcher. Same thing with any of the play widgets.
I tried them, and they worked okay.... I prefer just the app icon though.
Using Stock launcher though.... Might be a Go Launcher issue.
Hi,
Using Nova Prime. I'm noticing the phone going to the cartoonish Samsung Easy Home a lot when I back out of certain apps or widgets.
Example - insert a Gmail 3x3 widget. Tap a message (which loads the Gmail app). Now try to back button out to your home screen. You get Samsung Easy Home and not your actual default launcher. This happens even with the stock TouchWiz Home as default too.
Anyone else seeing this?
I'm using Nova Prime also and that has never happened to me.
Have had the same thing happen even though easy home is turned off in settings. With Stock launcher

So I'm setting up my new phone, and noticed something frustrating. Using Xposed I shortened the nav bar size, and had to install a launcher to mitigate that unsightly gap that resulted. Having had and loved Apex Launcher on my old Rezound, I installed it here. Problem solved.
Until I discovered that I can't set the double tap back to shutting off the screen. Which is a bummer because it was so handy to double tap and shut the screen off.
Anyone run into this and what's your fix?
I found a workaround if anyone is interested. Lock Screen App by Kenneth Cheng. Use it as a app shortcut for a double tap to lock the screen. Double tap to unlock/wake up still works fine.

Thanks! Apex launcher is the best!
Knock on still works on status bar regardless of launcher.
