I noticed that when I hold down the home button of my Xperia Z Ultra, a semi-circle pops up and shows a round "Google Now" icon in the middle of the semi-circle. Is there anyway to add more icons on the circle? Or even to change it? Your kind help would be most appreciated. I can't find the answer anywhere.
Nope, not unless you're running a custom ROM (as far as i know). Are you constantly swiping your finger up from the home button though? I can't really see how that's possible

I don't like how the S3 has included a menu button and it now causes apps that have updated to the ICS framework to look weird eg the Gmail app.
So is there anyway to force this back please?

Please define "weird". They look fine to me
Just looks too spaced out and it's not as functional, it's nice to have the menu button in apps like the play shop and Google chrome etc

Well the whole reason for it not being there is because it's got it's own fully dedicated button roughly 0.5cm below where you're looking.

Personally I detest the on screen buttons and menu options that are rampant with ICS and Jelly Bean. That's one of the negatives about the One X as well.
We get these phones with larger screens and they want to take up 25% of it with things than be better handled with actual physical buttons.
Glad Samsung went with what they did.
hi all
Just wondering if anyone knows of an app that can move the 3 menu buttons from the bottom middle to either left or right side so i can get to it with my thumb?
Thanks

CyanogenMod allows you to move one on each side. I have my back button and recent button on the left and right side, respectively. It's not an app, but that's the only way to have that without using an app like button saver or virtual button bar (don't move originals but can place buttons anywhere pretty much).

I think its pretty great. The nightly updates and constantly added features is what keeps me going.
I use this version of AOSP:

Just make sure to flash "leftnavbar.full_manta-ota-eng.cgomez.20122012.zip" to move the navbar over (link in the OP).
Use Paranoid Android and in Tablet UI you can have all three on the bottom left. Otherwise you can use the expanded desktop with PIE and have them come or of anywhere you like.

Paranoid Android is probably the best for Nexus 10 and 7... Check that out
I'll back these guys up. Been running Paranoid Android in my Nexus 10 for ages and it's brilliant. I have the buttons on the bottom left and my notifications on the bottom right. I noticed there are some other ROMs starting to introduce these features such as CM and aokp but I'd definitely recommend looking at Paranoid Android.
I'm running CM10.1 with lmt launcher and fullscreen togglev2. It's just nearly perfekt
Need no nasty navbar anymore. More Display for me

Do you mean how do you turn on extended desktop so that you can use the pie menu? Press your power button until the menu comes up and select extended desktop.

Unfortunately, in this scenario, you can't have your cake and eat it too. There isn't a setting, to my knowledge, that allows using both PIE and the nav/stat bars at the same time. Maybe in an upcoming update? Expanded desktop works great for me, I don't even remember what the stat bar looks like.
Is it possible? For me its just a wasted home screen and annoying that the phone likes to default to it as the default home screen. Anyone else feel like Sense 5 would be better without it?

The only way to "disable" blinkfeed currently is to not set anything up and to set another screen as your home screen. It will still be sitting there on the far left, but ignorance is bliss, so you just don't swipe too far left. LOL I'm sure it will come with time, but the developers are still concentrating on getting all the bugs out before they start working on the tweaks.
You can just set a different homescreen as the default one.

On your HTC One Home Screen just swipe to left.
Just tap and hold on any blank area of the screen.
A Panel will appear on the top. From the available panel, you can set one as your alternative to BlinkFeed. Just tap and drag the panel you wish to set it as home screen. Drag the panel to “Set as home”.

Same here. At first I was like "What is this garbage???"
But after using it for some time now, I really like it. It is a great content delivery vehicle, and honestly has made twitter something enjoyable now.
I hated and despised blinkfeed to begin with. Eventually I kinda grew to it. Only have my Twitter feed instead of FB and all that going to it. Quite useful now.

Does the "OK Google" command work for you? Does touching and holding ur finger pop out the ability to change wallpaper and add widgets come out? If it does, when you try to change wallpaper does it crash?
Just a few issues I had on mine. LG spoiled me with the customizations.

Some widgets are being shown that are not installed but others work fine. Adding a wallpaper by holding down and selecting wallpaper is broken had to by using gallery. OK Google spoken command does work thanks to the snapdragon 800 but Google search crashes :/
The icons are GIGANTIC.
It hurts my eyes and I feel like Google thinks were all blind.

If your "OK Google" is not working... Try this.
Go into Now setting
, then Voice Settings. Go to "Offline Speech Recognition" and then either redownload or update your language. I did this and it works flawlessly now.

Knock on Dead
I set this up quickly, but then killed it because it disabled knock on. Also the nav bar was still the LG one so it kind of looked weird to me. And yes the icons were garrishly large. I liked the 5x5 grid on the stock launcher and this made me feel like I was using a Fischer Price launcher with the huge buttons. The killing blow for me was that I could not switch easily back to stock launcher and had to uninstall the new 4.4 launcher.
if it could work with Knock on, I might give it another go. (unless I was doing something wrong and there s a way to make it work.)

to get nexus 5 camera, and launcher + many other nexus 5 apps. Unfortunately camera only goes up to 8 Mpix and the buttons are mostly obscured by the soft keys, but it is still usable. But it does have photo sphere. Experiment by pressing just above the soft keys to activate functions and learn how to use it since the actual icons are blocked.

Knock on isn't disabled by a launcher. It still works. But to knock off the screen you have to taps twice in the status bar.

If you long press in the middle of the screen you get the options to pop up as well.
So, can "OK google" be installed by itself? Or does it require apks other than google search? What I'm curious about is, does it fully integrate with calender, etc.?And for those that did install it, how is the battery with it on? Can it be turned off, or does it require uninstall?
I have the launcher installed and the Google search and play services. But I cannot for the life of me get OK Google to work.

eh, it's still not a smooth, non-choppy launcher. idk why, but these stock android launchers still randomly get choppy when switching between pages, even if they're not filled with widgets or icons.
Hello
Is there a way to disable the swipe down search feature on the home screen? It's annoying and I set it off every time that I bring down the setting tiles (wifi, Bluetooth, etc); and I don't use it.

Yes, it's part of the stock launcher. I didn't find the way to do this without replacing the launcher.
