How to get old Google Sound Search Widget back on Android 6 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've recently updated my rooted Nexus 5 to Android 6.0.1 and so the Google Sound Search widget changed.
Shouldn't it be quite easy to install an older version of the app to also get the old widget back?

[Q] dashclock to 4.1

Hi.just bought sgs III 4g.
Just rooted and installed sammy based custom rom 4.1 something and noticed that i cant install dashclock.
I had it in my sgs II 4.2.2.
So is it possible to someone port it to 4.1?
probably not, since 4.1 is outdated
maybe yes.but there is just too many issues in 4.2.2.
like what?
Lock screen widgets were introduced in 4.2 onwards....so i dont think its possible to get dashclock on any phone running version 4.2>.
Hope this helped.
DashClock is a replacement lock screen clock widget for Android 4.2+. It also exposes additional status items called extensions.
Like Google Play says, it is for Android 4.2+

yes i know.i have it in my sgs II..
so what issues does 4.2 have?
Dashclock 4.1
What if I don't want it on my lock screen but I just want it on my homescreen? can it be ported?
I'm looking for a 4.1 version as well for use as a homescreen widget. I get that the lock screen (why anyone would want this?) portion isn't available on 4.1 but why not the home screen widget? I love dashclock on my Nexus 10 and really want it on my S3.
it's an old thread, but just as a workaround, install this: better dashclock widget it works for android 4.0 and later

[HOW-TO] Get Google Experience Launcher w/ 4.4

The 4.4 update didn't include the Google experience launcher that the Nexus 5 has, which was sad for those of us that wanted the swipe to the left google now feature. Well I just figured that if I get the launcher off my SGSII's 4.4 ROM and send it to my Nexus 10 it would work.. and it did!
Steps:
Download the launcher (link)
Install it onto your Nexus 10
Set it as default!
Simple as that.
Sorry if a thread like this already exists

[Q] Android Chrome: Adding Default Search Engine?

Hey,
Just wondering if there is a way to add a different default search engine to the ones listed by default on chrome in android (I would like to add DuckDuckGo)? I have rooted my phone so that's not a problem.
FYI I'm using a Nexus 5 running on 5.0 Lollipop.
Thanks

Skinning Stock Android 5.x ROM to look like Android 4.3?

Hello,
I've been holding off upgrading to Android 5 or newer and have been sticking to Android 4.3 because I plainly do not like how the icons and graphics for Android 4.4 and up looks like. Would it be possible to make Android 5.x look exactly like Android 4.3? Perhaps with a skin?
For example, the shape of the Back, Home and Switch Window icons at the bottom of the screen, the position of the Quick Settings in the Notification Panel, the shape and icon design of the Wi-Fi and Cellular signal strength and so on.
I have my Sony Stock Android 4.3 Rooted, which allows me to apply security fixes (ie. disabling Stagefright in build.prop) and installing permissions managers but I think as Android 4.3 ages more and more exploits would be possible against it. So I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade to Android 5x and then skin it to look and feel like 4.3.
Thank you!

That's a very weird thing to do, but alright.
First of all, any reason why you're not on 4.4.4? That's the last KitKat version. Heck, 4.3 isn't even KitKat! It's Jelly Bean, so you're two versions behind. KitKat looks the same as Jelly Bean and runs much better than Jelly Bean.
Second, you can change the navigation buttons (the three buttons at the bottom) by either using an Xposed module or by installing an app (just google "change android navbar icons".
Third, you can also flash CM12.1 and use a theme. You won't find a theme that looks like the old Sony UI, because why would anyone make that, but you can theme it to look like anything else than stock Lollipop.
Fourth, you can stay on 4.4.4 and have a rather big issue at hand once you have to buy a new device It's not like Google will revert the design, so the best thing to do is to start liking it, or move to a different OS.

Thanks for the reply. I've been trying some builds here and there, such as Cyanogenmod and Blisspop, I just have to use 5.x for a few days I guess.
What ROMs would you recommend that doesn't have broken features? Right now I'm using Sony Stock 5.1.1 and rooted it using the Kingroot app and replaced that with SuperSU.

The most stable ones are of course the official ones, so the one you're already running and the GPe port are the most stable ones. Also, I guess you can simply use a theme on the ROM you're running right now. Take a look here if you haven't already.
Bro just use lp with nova launcher
