Anybody received the customizable Google Search widget update? - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hello
I was looking for the customizable Google Search widget update when I first heard the news about it.
I have realized that I am now using much more recent version of the same. .
But I still could not get the overflow menu in the widget to customize it.
Did anyone got luck with that?

I am in the Google app beta and have it

I am not in the beta channel but having even more recent build of the same.
I didn't get any overflow menu to customize it.
Are you using stock launcher ?

Am i using incompatible version ?
I am not getting the overflow menu.

It seems to be tied to the main account on a phone. I just set up my partner's new S8 and the custom option appeared. Not on my S8 or G6. I don't think it's phone specific, but rather tied to an account that has it activated. Very frustrating.

Google notifications

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. Every once in a while I get a pop up notification from Google. Opening it, it directs me to Google settings. Is it telling me I need to change something? I didn't think so. Everything seems to be working fine. More annoyingly, I can't swipe it away. It seems the only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone. Can anyone enlighten me as to what's going on here?
Thanks very much for any help & here is screen shot of what I'm talking about.

See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3366469 It seems to be something to do with Nova launcher.

Thanks very much for that. Narrowing it down to something to do with Nova launcher is a start at least. I'll research further. It's still very annoying though!

Hmm I occasionally get this pop up when I say ok Google from the lock screen with ok Google always on enabled. It appears for a couple of seconds then goes away, I thought it was to say Google now is recording audio?

Okay, but how do you access the FM Radio?
*edit* Never mind. Just use the Next Radio app.

It works great I am running mine on condensed its great. Allows me to check one more thing off the list of items I need root for. If I could just get V4A working I would be happy without root.
I have been really impressed with the frequency of updates for the S7 Edge, the updates for the S6 seemed to come months after launch for ciritical issues. Glad to see they are on top of it.
Closing this thread since it's also here:

Software update available. Tap to install new software.

Day 2 with my S5 and after I was able to root/safestrap/bb on version OK3 - 5.0
this notification does not go away
its like it wants me to force install pretty sure this is the verizon 6.0.1 update I read about?
either way I do not want to loose my root privileges, or all my data took me all day to migrate apk+data to this phone
anyway to disable this from showing or what do I do now...

Yeah. I knew it could be disabled somehow, but didn't know the name of the app.
TiBackup saved my ass so many times.
still not happy with the phone, but I didn't have to pay full retail for it so its whatever. better than my last handset for sure tho.

Is there any reason to use Secure Folder instead of MyKnox?
Thanks!

I personally think it's a more streamlined version of MyKnox. Also, you can't see which apps are there unless you unlock the folder, so that's an added layer of privacy.

secure folder issue
Secure folder is now available at the Galaxy App store for the S7 with nougat. I installed it from there and it immediately crashed Pixel launcher. There was something in TOS about it not liking custom ROMs. I installed it on T-Mobile non rooted S7 edge. Uninstalled it due to it crashing the Pixel launcher.

Ok I installed the version currently available on samobile.. it worked!! Now if I wanted to revert to my s6 version of touchwiz I thought I could choose the option to uninstall updates under apps??
Uninstall updates isn't a button as you can see?!

I know you're looking for previous versions of the Samsung keyboard but there are far better ones available.
The best one overall is Gboard (Google keyboard). Gives shortcut straight to Google search, allows a moderate amount of customization (themes) and allows slide typing.
Swiftkey and Flesky are two other ones that are pretty close, Flesky has some serious perks in terms of screen estate and theming (you can customize the look to virtually anything you desire). Both of these are free as well.
