Android 6 UK today - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Ok so how many others got the OTA to Android 6 in UK today ? its looking great and running faster, but my only issue is it will not allow me to set any launchers like google?

Google Launcher can be selected as of Marshmallow I think, if not other all the launchers are working smoothly with Marshmallow.

EMUI 5 (if arrived) will have inbuilt App drawer. And it seems that App drawer is the main thing for which people were using Google Launcher in EMUI.

Remember when LG G4 was launched without app drawer? People went crazy. Lol.

We don't want to mess our desktop. We like to have only our favorite apps on the home screen and all our other apps in the app drawer.
Tats why we are in need of it.

Ya read it. Seems that they are giving preference to XDA Devs.
As said, if they release sources for Kirin, it might be helpful.

Eh.. I don't like it as my home launcher. It makes for an alright app though. The shortcuts it shows aren't the greatest either.

Oh don't get me wrong, it's still an amusing app. It's new and a beta release. There's room for improvement. Like if I type a celebrities name, I want to see the celebs Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Not just what people are tweeting and hash tagging about the celeb. It's basically displaying Google results in app format. I'd like it much more of it was a widget instead of home launcher. At least I can keep it as an app.

Would like to see you optimize this for tablets. I loaded it on my N7....it worked but as you can guess, it just didn't look right.
Anyway, thanks for this app.

We try to focus on perfecting the mobile app, I guess going out of beta will be a good start. Tablets will have their turn, we defiantly have them in mind.
Im with dparrot , I really like this , ive been using holo for along time and this is real similiar but has many added cool features ( im probably a lil younger than Parrot though [51] so i can handle it)!!!
NVM. I figured it out
Thanks Dparrot. Here's a link for anyone who had trouble finding it, like me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...er&referrer=utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=new Weird that it doesn't show up in the search results.

If you type it out as everything.me, it will show up in the search bar where you can then click on it in the app store. But you are right, even searching for it correctly it won't show up in the list of apps. My guess would be because it is in beta. I believe the app store recently opened itself to beta apps, but they may be stored separately.
They are now available in parts of Europe.

You are incorrect! It works flawlessly for me on the stock 4.1.2 release.
Don't see why I can't get it working on Padawan Rom. Maybe when it becomes Alfa.

[Question] iLauncher developer dissapeared?

Yo, im using ilauncher (i know stupid to use it on android) but today all creators apps (ilauncher, inoty, ilocker) disappeared from google play and so his facebook account...Anybody have some intel on this? He quit or something?
Thnx for info and sorry if the thread is wrongly placed.
At a guess, apple probably complained.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
Does this mean it's safe to share the app now?
Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I'm a paid customer of both iLauncher and iLocker, so I'd be sharing something I bought and paid for myself.

i have file apk ilauncher and ionty
I don't think so, probably the dev's preparing for a big update. Yesterday, these 3 apps didn't appeared in playstore search but if you had the link to them, they were there, with 7 october updates. Then, they dissapeared. If it was Apple complain, probably the dev announced on his facebook page so the fans would know.
That's what I think at first but why anyone pull of all his apps and make facebook page inactive just to make update? Without facebook page people know nothing what's happening.

I am really mad because of this, I am a fan of iLauncher/iNoty/iLocker and the dev promised a lot of great features in the future versions. I hope everything is ok and he will be back in playstore
You're not alone. I'm very mad too...
If you're paid, and if he remove apps for update and publish new, you're must buy these apps again...

I've bought iLauncher and iNoty a week ago and I like them so much. I read his facebook page telling people what he had planned to improve his apps and I was so excited. +1 about being mad

anyone know an app like inoty or has updates on the developer?
Have any of you managed to replace the status bar of inoty also in the lockscreen?
Actually in the play store, the developer hasn't disappeared. But the apps (the ios-like ones) have disappeared. If you search Suckagomi in the play store he still has one app called icon 7 which is an old app but is still there...

you know of a similar app for notifications and status bar?
He has probably been forced to remove the apps from the PlayStore because I saw an other iOS 7 Launcher, and the developer mentioned that Google sent him an e-mail saying that he had to modify his app and make it less iOS7 or they'll have to remove it...

Well if it's really happened like this, the developer should inform about this instead of totally disappearing from Facebook and not responding to emails. All his apps are paid so there should be some sort of manners to paying customers...

I'll have a customizable feed for the edge, just like the official ones, where you can add whatever app shortcut you'd like, within a day or so. I'll let whoever asks beta test, if they want.

(INFO) Google keyboard update new analytics - share snippets

EDIT: @skanadian pointed out that it is on by default for the google play official release so you definitely wanna turn that off and maybe even block a permission or two in the settings!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We can and should expect more and more snooping from Google as time goes along. With the new keyboard update comes a "share snippets" option.
I'm just doing my part and making sure everyone is aware of this. This sounds to like Google has taken snooping a step further and is now taking a screenshot of your activity. You've been warned!
Screenshot is attached.
Well at least here they are asking nicely and not doing all of this behind our backs. Is it on by default? That's the part I can't remember.

If you use the APK from apkmirror/other sources to update/install existing keyboard, then this setting will be on by default

I just downloaded from the play store and it was on by default.
I just installed it and it asked me.
Is this rolling out slowly? I looked at my google keyboard app, and it was last updated in Feb.
Yeah I believe so. I still haven't received the update for 5.0

I downloaded the APK from android police and the play store still thinks I'm using the old keyboard.
I'm in the UK so I'm now also wondering if the rollout is only being done in certain countries due to privacy law issues.

Galaxy Labs AT&T S7 APK

I wanted to post this because I search several times and never found any hits but randomly found this APK somewhere that works just fine activating Galaxy Labs on the AT&T model S7. Go to advanced features after install and you should see Galaxy labs. This allows you to disable the app drawer. So it is like an iPhone home screen expect you have widgets also! No root required.
Thanks for this. Quick Dial seems like it might be a useful feature.
Wow easy install and works great thank you!

You need to click the small text on the warning page that says "install anyway (unsafe)" Or something similar to that.
Clicking OK, is basically saying you don't want to proceed.
why did you manually sign it ?
maybe edited the apk ?
Weird why the sign it alerted system. Hmm
BTW it doesn't work on AT&T Android 7.0
