I thought we were suppose to have app shortcuts after updating to 7.1.1 on Nexus 6P. Mine aren't there...it just moves the icon, it doesn't even give me the option for a shortcut. Anyone else having this issue?
Never mind. I am an idiot - Google Now Launcher has to be the default launcher in order for the app shortcuts to work on it.

Hello.
I have Nexus 7 with Android 4.1.2. How to change icon (applications) order in Applications tab? If I hold the icon I can only drop in into desktop or uninstall but I can't move it in another place.
Best regards
Some non-stock launchers have options for the App drawer. You might check out Nova, Apex, Go, Trebuchet, etc. in Play Store or their individual websites. I don't know one specifically that offers what you want, but it wouldn't hurt to check them out. Is it really a problem to find an app sorted alphabetically in the App drawer.
Stock launcher doesn't let you do it. You could try something like Nova Launcher Prime. That allows allows you to hide the ones you don't want to see.
I just updated to the latest version of Google Play Music and got the new UI, it looks good and everything, but there's one problem, the homescreen widget changed from 4x1 to 3x1 for some reason. Now, It looks crappy and I want the 4x1 widget back. I have already uninstalled updates/force stop/disable re enabled/rebooted, no luck. I don't know why this is happening now 0or if it is happening to any others, but yeah, I thought the play music widget was resizable 4x1, now it is a unresizeable 3x1. Help please! How do I get it back to 4x1?
Rooted Nexus 7, Stock Jellybean 4.2.2
I also have Nova launcher installed so I checked and on Nova launcher the widget was 4x1 instead of 3x1, the correct size it was before I updated the play music app, which can also be resizes on Nova launcher. What could be causing the problem? Should I clear data/uninstall updates/force stop other applications besides the music app (I already tried those things on the music app.) Like Google services, framework, etc?
The top screenshot is the Nova launcher app drawer /widget section, the bottom is the stock launcher app drawer/widget section.

One more thing, I noticed when I go into landscape that on the stock launcher widget section, the play music widget changes from 3x1 to 4x2, and you can see the way it is. Did I do something wrong or is this hot not working correctly?
How do I fix this!?

I've tried 7.0 and went back to 6.0, starting from scratch in the process and I'm trying to add this widget to Nova launcher. It seems impossible now and according to the internet is was never possible. However, I'm sure I did it before, as I have a screenshot here:

Can anyone help? I'm positive this is not a 3rd party app.
I didn't think you could add native widgets to alternative launchers. I have Nova launcher and use HD Widgets for my weather and clock on the home page.

Apparently no one thinks so, but I did it, with proof right there... I just have no idea how I did!

It was possible. I did that too with my S7. It disappeared after upgrading to Nova 5.0
A way round the clock weather issue
I too had this problem. After many attempts I added a stock nova weather widget on the right and a stock clock widget on the left. It seems OK to me. Some resizing necessary to achieve the desired effect.
Picked up one of these phones for my new teenager, thinking I could lock everything down well between an applock app and norton family app. But I can't seem to get rid of the google search bar on the home screen and can't lock the google app in the menu. And neither of these google search capabilities are monitored by norton family.
What can I do to uninstall/disable/lock this google search app?
I installed nova launcher, but the google app is still available in the menu, and the applock app doesn't see it (since it's native?).
So far I discovered I can hide apps from the drawer in nova launcher, but the app lock apps I have won't let me lock the nova settings (doesn't appear in the list of apps). I also installed a different keyboard and locked the system settings.
Is there a way to lock the app drawer or nova settings?
Attaching a recent screen shot showing custom folder icons. I remember doing this about 6 months ago, however I don't remember how the heck I did it!
I'm on 7.1.2 (rooted, stock) and have always used Nova Launcher since Marshmallow. I could have sworn I used Zedge but see that app can only change app icons.
I'm pretty sure if I used an app it's still on my phone since I'm not really one to change apps that much. I have several icon apps but like Zedge, they only change app icons.
Anyone know if I missed/forgot about a feature in Nova that can do this?
