Selecting quick launch causes a crash. Any ideas?
I'm having this same exact issue. T-Mobile variant, 9.0.5. Anytime I press quick launch, the settings app crashes.
Did you guys disable the Google play apps (i.e., Play Music, Play Movies)? The default quick launch apps use those apps and it'll force close until you enable them again and you can disable again once your remove them from the quick launch items.

This is a bug on the app, so whenever google now is turned on, the launcher gets clear and pressing the home button will make you choose a new launcher.
The issue came since Google launched GEL, and has not been fixed. I just want to put it visible to see if it can help others and also, if anyone has come up with a workaround. My only fix is to disable google search (or just clear all data).
thanks
Now and then my 6P informs me that Screen Overlay has been detected and that if I want to change the rights for this setting, I must disable screen overlay in Settings > Apps. If I tick Open Settings, and tick any random app, the option to allow that the app will draw over other apps has been greyed out. It doesn't matter whether an app already has this permission or not. I cannot toggle it.
I have searched quite some time now but I cannot find the solution. Anyone here with a brilliant idea?
Thanks
Only certain apps have the "Draw over other apps" option available to them (Twitch, Skype, Lux, Twilight, etc.). From Google-ing the issue, it appears that certain functions in Android and some apps won't work when they're being drawn over. Are you using an app like Twilight or Lux that warms your display at night? If so, disabling them temporarily should allow you to change permission settings on apps.

Thanks for your reply. This made me thinking and I realised that I have the ScreenAdjuster app installed. After freezing that with TiBu I was able to perform the action that I wanted. So problem solved (at least I'd like to think so). The only thing that still puzzles me is that the toggle for allowing to draw over another app is greyed out at every app.

The majority of apps do not have the option available at all. Skype has it so you can view video call while in a different app, Facebook has it for their chat bubble system, and a some others that do similar things. As well as a bunch of Google apps for seemingly no reason.

Is there a recommended app to use to for moto G play to disable certain apps? For instance, I use package disabler pro for my samsung s7.
I need to disable the google app from the long press home button for my 12 year old. We run norton family on chrome, but for whatever reason, the google now apps have always been exempt from norton filters. The phone did an update this morning and now I can't find any way to disable that feature or lock it with applock.

One more question I hope you'll know... As I was closing apps from the square "recent apps" button, the google search bar now appears at the top (and is accessible). Any ideas how to get rid of it? We are using Nova Launcher instead of google's native launcher, which helped get rid of the original google search bar on the home screen.

Nevermind, I figured it out after googling for a while. I had to restart the phone after your steps and then it no longer appeared in the recent apps screen.

Yup
..right
as google is so much integrated sometimes it needs reboot for the effect....
I tried to use quick launch (settings, utilities, quick launch) but when I select it either settings stops working out it just kicks me back to the settings page. I've tried with default launcher and I have fingerprint unlock enabled, any ideas how I can fix it or is it not working yet?
Make sure play music and movies is enabled. Set up quick launch then you can disable them again
I had the same problem but a reboot solved it.
Was to do with disabling Google play movies and music, weird that this affects it but solved now.

Thank you so much! I have done a Google search, and the only solution I found was to clear data of android setup, did that and it did not work for me. Never occurred to me to disable it. Hope it won't affect anything though. Anyways, thank you again!
