Hello,
I just got a second hand G901F with Lollipop 5.0.2; did factory reset, rooted, and deleted some bloatware (GALAXY Apps Widget, Flipboard, Samsung account, Samsung Apps, TalkBack and so on).
Next step: Setting Google Now Launcher. But after installing it from the App Store I realised that it does not appear in Home>Settings (Just the TouchWiz Home and the TouchWiz easy home) ; so I can't no select it.
Then is when I noticed that I can not rearrange the icons in "Apps". I click in the top right button, then "Edit" and then if I try to drag any App it says "Unable to rearrange icons in alphabetical order".
No ABC or Alphabetical order option appears.
I had the previous version (G900F) and I didn't have any problem like this.
Thanks and sorry if as I guess it's just a stupid thing I did wrong.
Maybe you deleted something during the de-bloating that it needs?
Try resetting again, rearrage with 100% stock, then you'll know if there is a problem or not
Also, 6.0.1 Marshmallow is released for that model now too

OK... I factory format it again. Now I have all the bloatware back.
I can now use Google Now launcher, but still cant rearrange the icons.
Am I missing any configuration option or something like that?
Any help?

hi guys,
I have a problem here. I downloaded adw launcher and set it as default launcher. It doesn't work, it only says: ADW launcher is unexpected stopped. I've already tried pulling the battery out and put it back in, but it didn't work. Has anyone a solution?
sorry for bad enghlish.
Sam
Uninstall ADW-Launcher and the phone will revert back to the stock launcher.

Yeah, i know that, but my phone didn't do anything when i pushed menu. So i did a hard reset, everything works fine now. And i have FroYo .
soooo I used titaniumbackup to freeze and delete some apps after I had backed em up
now I wanted to perform a factory reset on the phone so I started restoring/unfreezing all the apps I had deleted/frozen
problem 1:
now I had deleted an app called lgsetupwizard which is apparantly the setup you go trough first time you turn on your device,
now it started replacing my launcher with this, and I couldn't change it to anything else...
problem 2: for one app I accedentaly clicked the delete backup instead of restore which was an app called lgslideaside I don't know what it does
and if it's important for the system to still work after a reset..
and if I can reset the device with the setupwizard still frozen? :s
thanks in advance
At this point you're probably better off restoring the phone using either the *.tot or *.kdz method.

Problem1: Can you drag down the notification bar and click the settings icon right above? If so then you could probably set from there the home app.
Problem2: I don't think its really important for the system to operate since lgslideaside is like an gesture app switching with 3 fingers you can switch apps if you slide your fingers to the other side so slideaside ;p
I don't know or you can reset the device with the setupwizard frozen I think you can but did you tryed to enable it from the Apps tab in the settings?
Else if setupwizard is really screwed and if its important then you could maybe push the setupwizard and the lgslideaside to your phone but you have to take it from the same rom you have but if you have stock then try to find a stock rom from the same android version and the the apk/odex. If everything doesn't work then you maybe need to flash the Stock android 4.4.2 kdz or jellybean in normal mode but This would be the last thing i would recommend to you since your phone is still booting ;p
Try my things and i hope your problem couldbe solved:good:
I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
Hey guys
So my dumb ass installed a custom status bar (substratum), and I had a navbar overlay installed. After a reboot I just get the "System UI has stopped" error. Black screen, can't get anywhere.
Any way to manually delete it? Hoping to not having to do a complete reset, since well... a lot of stuff is on there... And I need my phone tomorrow...

This exact problem has happened to me.. I keep a spare backup in hand. Sucks to learn the hard way but you gotta reset the device. There may be a way if you can locate the substratum apks that are giving you issues and to uninstall them, you may want to do some research about if that is possible.
reboot to safe mode,
open settings / apps > search apk name (usually android.Subsname... or com.android.systemui.Subsname.... ) and uninstall,
reboot.

Hello,
A few weeks ago I got the option to customize my Google widget but after uninstalling all updates and reinstall them the option disappeared and un/re-installing does not help at all.
How can I get the customize option back?
(Using TW Launcher (worked before uninstalling updates))
Thanks for reading/helping

Yeah I have the same problem. After unsintalling the beta and going back to system version and re installing the beta it was gone. Nothing helps to get it back .....
Reinstall 7.14.15 beta.
I had to clear my Google data one day, lost the ability to customize. Figured to revert to base version, reinstalled the beta, and quickly went into the SIDE menu to "Customize Widget".
Note I said the SIDE menu; the newest versions does not have that any more, and Google forgot to add the relevant option. Just like nicknaming your cards on Google Wallet, HINT, HINT...
Updated back to 7.22.22.21, and the customization has stuck.
DO NOT:
1. REVERT to default.
2. CLEAR app data.
