My phone really only consists of 3 screens and I only use one icon for everything, which I have on my main home screen. Is there any way to place that icon in the center?
Since our phones only have space for four icons across, its kinda hard to place that in the center. I'm using launcherProPlus

Pretty sure you can change the amount of columns and rows using launcher pro. You can also resize icons using lpp as well

Tried to use launcherpro, but no such luck

launcherpro 5x5
install with long press NOT add button (lets you choose icon)
should work
if not, do a 5x5, use a clear icon and either just "know' its there, or choose wallpaper that has an "icon like" look in the middle - trial and error to line up "invisible" icon to wallpaper
hint - use non scrolling wallpaper option
hope that helps
ps - i'm pretty new to this so there may be a better way - but this way does work
So my Tab app tray is a mess! I have lots of apps but unlike any other Android I have the added apps are 'shelter skelter'. Yes, that bad. Any help?

If you press the menu button while the app tray is open, it will give you an edit option. This will allow you to rearrange the apps in the app tray. I never could find an option to put them in alphabetical order, and new apps always insert themselves in the first open slot.
If you are looking for a way to make sure the app tray stays in alphabetical order, I would suggest trying a new launcher app. LauncherPro and ADW will both give you want you want and a whole lot more. I use Zeam as it is fast and doesn't get bogged down with too many options.
A bit like the iphone but worse

the App drawer in the bottom middle disappeared.
Im using ADW laucher. right now the middle is empty. the left/right side has the dialer and browser.
I tried reset adw launcher, no luck.
Any idea how to fix it?
I haven't used adw in a while but I've had to do this before.make a shortcut to the app drawer. (long press on home screen and go through the menus till you find it) then drag that to where it should be

you are right. after some digging, it is there.. thanks.
wondering how can i took it off from the bottom bar.
Somehow I always manage to accidentally swipe over to the camera shortcut or the shortcut page to the left of the lockscreen and then I have to hit swipe back to the lockscreen page and press the arrow on the bottom to be able to unlock. Is there a way to disable the screens on the left and right so this won't happen?

You can disable the camera by swiping to the left then tapping to add widget. You will see a list of widgets w camera at the top. Just uncheck it. But the left swipe will still be there...
Maybe ask in the G2 Tweaksbox thread if the option to disable swiping to another screen can be added?
That is exactly what I needed, had no idea you could disable that in that menu. Thank you!

Can someone explain the point of gestures control in android pie? I thought the point of it was to take up less space on the screen, but the pill never fades when scrolling so you have the exact same amount of space on the screen as when you didn't have swipe up on home enabled. The whole thing seems a bit pointless to me. It would make more sense if when scrolling through a website the pill would disappear and reappear if you swipped up
True
I'm what would be considered a Google Fan Boy. But you're 100% correct about this.
I had PP with BB10 OS there was excellent swype control
The only "advantage" over regular button navigation is you can swipe directly to the app drawer from any app. Other than that, yeah it doesn't add much but I still use it.

It is beyond stupid. And super ugly too. Home "Pill" in the middle, back button on the left, recents now added to the pill and nothing on the right...
Hey look guys, we got rid of one out of 3 buttons! Game changer!

Can the back arrow be moved to the other side?

Not without root.
You can change without root
Absolutely correct op. I don't get the gestures. I hate how the opening of the app draw is implemented. Big swing and a miss.
absolutely agree with you. saddens me to say that apple has implemented gestures much better.
Personally I don't mind it but the most useful thing I found was being able to switch between apps that are in the background easily. For those who haven't discovered it you swipe right from the pill. I hope they add more functionality to it.
I use 'OnePlus Gestures'. It does cost £1.99, but I find it an almost flawless execution of what gestures on Android should be particularly when used with 'Hide Nav Bar'.
The Google implementation of gestures is just bizarre!
I'm rooted. How can i move it?

No root needed to swap back key to the other side.
adb shell
settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"

I am also using nova launcher and custom Navigation bar app so I have it set for the pill to disappear after a couple of seconds. Swipe up on bottom to make it come up.

Beautiful! I did not know this. I'm gonna try it myself tonight. Thx
Will that still work with gestures turned on?
Works perfect!

To understand what they are doing and why they are doing it the way they are, you first have to understand one thing:
Google likes the navbar. They have no intention of ever getting rid of it. (They have mentioned this in their blog.)
So with that in mind...
What they are doing is adding functionality on top of the navbar. Instead of back-home-recents, you now have back and a pill. The pill doubles (quadruples?) as a recents button, as an app-drawer launcher, as a switch-to-last app button, and a scroll-through recents button (All of these things can be done with one touch, from any screen.)
The aren't getting rid of the navbar, they are not trying to free up screen realestate; they are trying to make the existing navbar that they love more functional
Love it, or hate it; I hope this helps someone better understand the reasoning behind the direction they are going.
I just upgraded to Pie (Full Image dirty install) and my Nav still has back/home/recents. Do I have to flip a switch or something to try out the new version? Also, related question, how do I do split-screen with Pie?
