I initially turned Google Now on. I hated it so I turned it off but now when I wake my Nexus 7 up the screen comes up even though it is turned off. How do I get it to open to the regular home screen? Thanks in advance!

It happens no matter which direction I swipe.
Disable Google Search
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
Maybe you can just go into the Settings > Lock Screen > Slider Shortcuts: Then add the shortcuts that you want? (Removing the previous shortcuts in the process) Or maybe disable the lock screen.
OR, you could uninstall Google search, if your N7 is rooted. You might even be able to just clear the data/cache of the Google search app. At that point it shouldn't be enabled anymore.
Hope that helps.
I recently updated my mobile to official update 5.1.1. It has been 1 month on 5.1.1 . When i use my device, the screen suddenly goes off for 5 secs (approx.) and lock is applied on it. And the wallpaper also changed to default. And i have to reopen my lock screen again again. Please give a favourable reply.
Listen bro u just simply first delete some heavy apps . It will work
If not then reset the phone . And installed only needed apps
I am also facing the same problem please help!
Hey I have got a solution for this . Go to your device settings and then Privacy. Then go to privacy guard. There are three dots on upper right corner. CLICK ON THAT AND SELECT SHOW BUILT IN APPS. Now search for Google play services and hold on Google play services. Scroll downside and search for auto start and keep awake. Turn them off. But keep sure that (keep awake ) is enabled.
If it help you please thanks me.

I want to disable/remove daydream completely, I don't need nor want to use it. It doesn't seem to have an option to turn off completely, only delay up to 1 hour max.? I use an app 24/7 on this (thinkorswim) but yeah.. daydream gets in the way every hour and have to wake. Any clue? Hoping for a possible quick command line fix. Thanks
* Yes, I have sleep mode off in the dev settings, I just want to remove/disable daydream.
Kind of hilarious nobody has a clue how to disable a screensaver... Interesting issue
Menu Button -> Manage Apps -> Swipe to "All" -> Scroll to "Basic Daydreams" -> Tap on it -> Tap on the button on the top right "Disable" near the button "Force Stop" on the left.
You can uninstall using any app in the Google Play Store with the search key: "Root Uninstaller"
Since it´s a system-App you may encounter problems with daily usage of Android if it´s missing.
I had accidentally turned on Talkback, now when I try and turn it back off, the Settings screen will not scroll down to Accessibility. I Can't get this to SHUT UP!!!!
I think this is a glich in the STOCK ROM, or it's an undocumented secret.....
I found the solution... Below...
But there is still a glich when Talkback is active. The phone will NOT SCROLL when this feature is speaking...
If you have inadvertently enabled Talkback, you can quickly pause it, and then go back to disable this feature.
Anywhere on the screen, swipe down then right in a single motion, as if you were drawing an “L”.
Note: This should work whether the phone is on the lock screen or unlocked.
You will then see 2 options in the top corners of the screen, select “Pause Feedback”.
When the Suspend Talkback message appears, double tap “OK”.
You can now normally go into Settings > Accessibility and disable talkback

Reboot your phone and try again, also... no need to post multiple times, we all have lives and will try to help when we can. I am not using a stock ROM so I can't check this for you, but I'm sure someone will be around soon to try to help.
I didn't mean to double post, this site gave me an error in my browser and didn't think it posed, so I did a refresh then posted, sorry..

Hi guys,
I never had the Google Launch/Google now thing before on my Moto X Pure. But suddenly now it is there on the left most of my home screen. And it opens up every single time I swipe to the most left screen.
This is a huge battery drain. I want to disable it.
I tried to search online. They say I have to disable the Google Cards or something. But I look at the Google Now setting and that setting is nowhere in sight on my Moto X Pure.
Please help!

When you are on the left screen click the the lines for settings, then "Your Feed" and turn it off.

Hi. I disabled Your Feed. I even disabled them under "Customized". However the left most screen is still there. If possible I want that Google screen gone from the home screen altogether. It is so annoying.

Long press on home screen, settings, and disable "show google app" or something similar.

Holding an empty spot in the home screen shows wallpaper settings, widget settings, and Settings (Home Screen). I don't see that option "show google app" under the Home Screen Setting.

Sorry, thought that settings in Google now launcher and pixel launcher would be similar, but what I said is an option in pixel launcher, why not give it a try?

Swipe left to the feed > swipe left again > settings > Your feed > tap on feed to disable
I had the same 'issue' in that I like to have just one homescreen, not multiple homescreens to swipe between but google had forced this second google 'card/now/feeds' (whatever) homescreen upon me and my Nexus 6P (I realise the OP has a different phone but hopefully this solution will work for all phones).
I searched and searched for a solution but could not find one. Eventually through messing about I managed to get rid of it myself though this does reduced the 'power' of the google search app (which I don't care about as I open apps I want when I want e.g. I open browser to search the web, open maps to search for a place, contacts for contacts etc.) So try my solution below and I hope it works for you too:
From your homescreen swipe right/left (finger from left to right) to get to the dedicated google 'card/now/feeds' homescreen. Press the three-lines menu button then Settings then Accounts & Privacy, then Google Account then select the 'sign out' radio button. Wait a few seconds while it signs out... now press your home button and you should only have just one homescreen now (or at least however many you had before the google dedicated one). You may have to repeat this a second time if it didn't sign you out (google does not want you to keep your information private haha!!) Now to complete the process press your bottom right 'square' button (to the right of home 'circle' button) and swipe the google app off to the right to close the app from memory, otherwise if you leave it in memory and then select it by accident it will sign you back in and create the extra homescreen again!
You can still use the google search bar that is at the top of your homescreen (I have a Nexus 6p so that's where it is for me) - it works just fine
Go to settings, google, search, your feed and disable it.
Here is the solution
Hi
I have the solution. From the apps swipe Google app to the app info on top and then go to storage in info settings then clear all the data. Thats it. You just need to customize your home screen shortcuts again.
You could just use a custom launcher, like Nova Launcher... You get lots of customization abilities too. Nova Launcher is the pretty much the first app I install on any phone I have.
Google app > Settings > Your feed > turn off feed.
No need to clear anything.
2nding Nova Launcher, but I only use it on devices that aren't stock or near stock.

Thanks so much. this worked for me on my Moto G4.
Thank you looneyjetman! Worked like a charm! I had tried turning it off through "feed" and "voice", nothing worked. Privacy settings is the way to go.

I have and LG G6 running Google Now Launcher (coming from a Nexus 5X) and after an update this extra home screen was added to my system which I could not disable.
What I have done is uninstalled Google Now Launcher which only uninstalled the updates. Then I set auto updates to "off" via the Play Store which has kept my screen clear of this unwanted home screen. (though this had to side effect of removing my home screen customisation)
However your solution sounds much easier - has it ever resigned you in bringing back the unwanted home screen?
