Google Now Launcher for OP6T - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Hey, sorry if this has been asked before somewhere -- is there any more or less up to date APK of the Google Now Launcher? Unfortunately in Play Store is says my device is not compatible.

Check apkmirror for a download.
Not sure if it needs to be modded to run on other devices, haven't used it since the Pixel Launcher came out.

Thank you! I just found one Pixel Launcher so far. Its great but the Problem is that everytime I go to my homescreen the app icons above the Google search bar jump up and down slightly 4 or 5 times, really annoying couldnt find a way to deactivate that.

[Q] right app icon from app drawer missing after restart

Hello all. Just installed omnirom on my nexus 7 flo and everything works fantastic. There is a little problem whose solution i couldnt find even after hours of searching. My right app icon in app drawer disappers everytime i reboot. It doesnt matter which app icon i put in there. Only the right icon deappears.
Details
Device: nexus 7 2013 16gb
Firmware: omnirom 4.2.2(official)
Recovery: twrp 2.6.0
Gapps: pa gapps( stock 270 mb)
Launcher: omnirom default
anyone help
Please anyone help. This bug is killing me its so annoying
Disappearing icon
My last icon on the right also disappears. I'm using an Xperia tablet Z, SGP311.
I love the ROM. Android development is completely alien to me but when I have time I'll start over on the XDA university site. Now I just have to build one of those signatures that says what my device is and all that.
Your right app icon? Can you screenshot or something?

Here is a screenshot
For what it's worth, this affects all users (at least on flo) and not just the primary or last accessed one.

I'm having the same problem on the Nexus 10.
Great rom apart from this minor annoyance!
FWIW, I'm using Nova Launcher on Nexus 10 with dock set to have 6 icons and I'm not having this problem. Could be an issue with a specific launcher or setting, hard to know without more information from those having the problem.
New quick settings tile editing option is great!

+1 for the Nexus 10 with the GEL Launcher. Doesn't effect Nova Launcher regardless of # of rows/columns.

Stock launcher. Ie the launcher that came when i installed omnirom. I didnt install any other launcher, but now i am considering to switch to other launcher. I have tried many free launchers before but didnt like most of them. Care to suggest a simple launcher without any annoyances(like ads and pay to unlock certain feature)??

Nova. It's brilliant. There are some features which are only available in the paid version but nothing that affects the use of the launcher.
Oh, and the disappearing icon is not an Omni problem - its a problem with the GEL itself.

+1 on Nova. I had a low-spec device a couple years ago and tried all the popular launchers at the time. Nova seemed fastest, easiest to use, and has useful features. As far as I know the free version doesn't have ads and has plenty of good features. Nova Prime has some additional gestures that can be set to open favorite apps, which I love, because I like a clean home screen.
nova launcher is great

Lollipop app draw icon

For anyone wanting to make the stock ASUS Launcher look a bit more like stock Lollipop, I found an icon pack called LolliPop Colored on the Play Store. Applied via the icon packs setting in the launcher, it doesn't do anything other than change the wallpaper and app drawer icon. I then use the standard Nexus blue wallpaper.
You can get the same result by using the Google Now launcher. Plus it's an official app. You'll also get the "Okay google" function from any screen using this launcher instead.

Sure you can use google now, or nova or apex. That's not the point. For various reasons some people, myself included, want to use the stock Asus launcher. This is just a way to have it slightly nearer in appearance to stock lollipop's material design. Oh, and "OK Google" from any screen is available in the stock launcher too - it's an option in Google settings.

Sorry, I don't know how to share links for google play store apps (there's no sharing option like there is on apple app store). But if you search "LolliPop Colored theme" it will be top of the search results (it's by Alper Selzer)
I installed xposed framework yesterday. Using gravitybox module to activate softkeys (and expanded desktop so that can hide them again easily). Then used Xstana module to change the ASUS softkeys and status bar icons to Lollipop style. With WM Density changed to 270 (on my 550) I now have the stock ASUS Launcher just how I want it
Im still not root but i envy those navigation bars
guess have to get one too hehe
iphone
Now we can easily get iphone looks without any file, in latest ASUS launcher.

I installed Google Launcher but I don't have Google icon's. Only Asus's icons

Because you have ASUS Apps on your ZenFone 2, not Google Apps.
Nova launcher with glim icon pack
I have all Google app installed I think.
What do you mean by Google App ?
Asus say me to see whith Google but Google says me to see whith ASUS.
Thnaks for your help.
What apps' icons are you talking about? If you mean things like settings, dialer and downloads, then you have ASUS versions instead of Google/AOSP, so the icons are different. Using Google Now launcher won't change those icons.

Google search bar

Don't get me wrong.... I love Google search, but how do I get rid of the search bar from every screen? I can't drag it away. Is there a menu setting somewhere I'm missing?
Get a new Launcher i.e. Nova, very stock like but no Google Search bar, only bad part is that there's no "Now" Page to the left. GNL editor isnt update for Marshmallow yet I dont think since we dont have xposed on M.

Ah yes..... Dummy me didn't think that Google now launcher would of course be the stock launcher for a Nexus. Face palm. Might have to try out Nova. I haven't used a different launcher since my Droid Incredible days.

Question About the Google Search Bar Widget

This probably sounds like such a dumb question, but how can I get the google search bar on the home screen, to be the slide over style like the pixel so it isn't taking up so much space. I have Google Assistant installed, and I don't see a setting in Google app to make it the smaller icon
You need to have the beta version of Nova Launcher installed, then select the Google pill as the Search bar style. Check out the video in this guide...

You need the leaked Nexus launcher zip. Works like a charm, search for it on these forums. Anyway, it's much less complicated than the approach below.

Apps will not uninstall

Not sure when this started but I have found I can no longer uninstall apps by dragging the app to the "Uninstall" on the desktop.
I first noticed this a few months ago.
I am 100% stock on P with latest security and have never messed with the phone.
I use Google Now launcher.
This is no big deal as I just go to settings and apps, find the app and uninstall, i'm just curious if i'm the only one and if anyone knows a solution.
i think this feature works with launcher if u using another launcher maybe it not works try it with stock launcher Quickstep

Thanks, I guess you are probably right in thinking it's a launcher issue as it work fine in settings.
Not worth changing the launcher for such a small issue.
Thanks.
