I really liked the new interface in google search described here:
androidpolice.com/2014/05/28/google-slowly-turning-on-newer-cleaner-app-results-ui-in-search-app/
Google search has now reverted back to the old vertical list.
Everything is updated, google search is from 1/7/2014 version 3.5.15.1254529.arm
Nexus 5 Android 4.4.4, no change uninstalling xposed.
Has this happened to everyone else?

My sister got a nook tablet a few weeks ago and I helped her get Go Launcher and Google Apps including the play store. Everything was fine but she called me last night with problems. Most of her apps on the Go Launcher home screen were in the "Loading" state with just an android icon. When she would open the Play Store it would tell her she needed to add her Google Account and pressing the button to add an account would dump her back on Go Launcher. Gmail also dumps her straight to her home screen. She also mentioned something about Go Launcher saying she should try relaunching Go Launcher. After a couple restarts I wasn't able to make any progress on the phone.
So, before I make my trip out to see her, what are some potential culprits? It sounds like the accounts app broke but I don't know how or why.
Google Apps were rebranded as Google Drive on my Nook. When you open a document in Drive it brings up the correct program to edit...

You're thinking of Google Docs. I'm referring to the generic Google Apps for Android which includes the Play Store, Gmail, Talk, and more.
Try clearing the cache from both Google Play and Google Services Framework, and then reboot.

How can I do this? There is no application management menu in the settings like on normal android.
Turns out the nook tablet updated itself to 1.4.2 even though I had the 9.9.9 version "fix". Why did it update? How can I prevent it in the future aside from loading a custom rom?
Ever since the original JB update for the Prime, I have been unable to use "google now". When I attempt to use the app, it begins to boot the mountain range background of google now, but instead defaults to a plain screen with google search. I have attempted to go into the settings for the app, but when I would click the button to turn on google now, it just wouldnt stay that way. If I went back to the settings right after, google now would again be turned off. I have tried updating my firmware to the latest version, I have uninstalled and reinstalled google search, but to no avail. I had done a factory reset when I installed JB. Can someone please help?
P.S. I never had any sort of tutorial about Google Now pop up when I originally installed JB
Have you updated "google search" from Google Play?
I have a recently rooted S4. I would like to take a bit more control over the apps that are installed.
For starters: device currently has Google Maps 9.9.0. I much prefer the older GM, with the zoom in/out buttons (rather than the double click/swipe up & down technique).
I attempted to uninstall current GM 9.9.0, then install GM 6.14.4 apk which I have saved from another S4. But that didn't work. Is it not possible to do this? Or am I doing something wrong.
I used to Flash/Tweak/Mod like a mad man a couple of years ago. But I haven't done anything like this in a while. So...sorry if this is a noob question.
Good Evening/Hello/Hi,
I own a Nexus 5X and I am running Android O Preview 3 using the Nova Launcher 5.2
Phone is not rooted and bootloader is still locked.
I recently downloaded the Android O Preview 3 OTA update directly f System Update settings. I was just before the OTA update running Android 0 Preview 2.
Problem :
Once the device updated and rebooted everything is working like a charm. Except, I found out that some of my widgets on my home-screen are not working anymore.
I can only see a grey rectangle with an Play icon and under written Setup. (see image attached)
I had 3 of those widgets and they were all "My Play Library" (One for My Movies, My Books and My Newstand).
When I try to re-add it from the widget menu. It's nowhere to be found it completely disappeared.
Any other people have this problem. Got a way to fix this ?
It was working correctly on Android 0 Preview 2.
I even tried to reboot and wipe the cache partition, tried also to change to another launcher like google now launcher to see if problem was related to Nova Launcher but still it's not there at all in either cases.
[/LIST]
Thank You

Woke up this morning and mine was gone too. Looked exactly like your screenshot. I didn't install any updates though, I'm still stuck on Marshmallow, it was just gone. Google probably just killed it out of nowhere, as Google does.
This also happened to me. I'm wondering if it will ever come back. Any ideas for an alternative widget in the meantime?
Happened to me today as described. Sucks as it was my favourite feature to have all my books on my home screen.
Current solution was to add a folder using root explorer to data/app called com.android.vending-1.apk then go to airplane mode and force stop Play Store and uninstall updates. That reverted my Play Store app and prevented it from auto updating which will do for now.
Will link source to that tip when not on mobile.
Also interested in alternative widgets for this purpose.
Yeah, I noticed mine was gone too. I hope they add it back...
Adding more. Happen on my old nexus 7 2013. Definitely linked to Google removing the widget from the play store apk. Dammit it was a great widget. I could easily see my movies books and magazine. I'm pissed they did this without notice.
got the same problem on my galaxy S7 edge running Nougat, it's a right PITA
What a bummer! Gone for me too, on a completely stock Galaxy Tab S3 running Nougat. I used it for the digital magazines I subscribe to in Google Play Newsstand and it just disappeared without any notice.
Dammit Google. I used that for books too, on a 12" tablet, full screen. It was awesome. Why not fix it instead of removing it just like that? There are many of us who liked it a lot. Geez.
Anybody able to create a widget app that could replicate what the 'my library' app did?
