Hi there. I am using the latest Nova Launcher on my Fire HD 10. I have the Mint app installed from the Google Play store. I can add the widget. There is supposed to be a setting IN THE APP that allows the widget to download information in the background, but it just doesn't exist. I have the setting in the app on my phone. Without the setting the widget does not work
Any thoughts as to why it wouldn't show and how I could get it to show? I would take screenshots of what I'm talking about but the app does not allow it

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?

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!?

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?
Do all versions of Android TV not let you add app icons to the home screen? I want to root mine Tonite and I have I can not download some apps from Google play store and if I sideload an app there is no shortcut for it on the homescreen app slider what ever that thing is called. I like the ATv layout just not those things.
After installing a 3rd party launcher such as Apex or Nova on my Fire HD 10 2017, there is an icon in the app drawer named "Connect to Goodreads". The icon is just the word "fire" in big orange letters. The app info shows "Device Setup version 1.0.312.2_4040710". Opening the app prompts to create or connect to a Googreads account. This item does not appear in the Fire Lancher
I would like to remove/disable this item from the app drawer. Does anyone know how? It seems like it might be tied to com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.
I know I can "hide" it in the app drawer in Nova or Apex, but I'd prefer to eliminate it if possible.
In Nova launcher you can go into the app settings>Apps & Widget Drawers>scroll down to hide apps
From there you can choose to hide apps you don't want to see.
Edit: Just saw you know you can hide it.
Hi,
I installed Google Clock app recently. After that, each time I unlock the tablet after a few min of sleep, the Google Clock app is shown rather than the launcher.
How could I fix this (to show launcher or previous app instead)?
Thanks
