app drawer with 2 button navigation - Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

just started using my Google pixel 2 with 2 button navigation.

right now I use 2 swipes to get to the app drawer:
the first one let's me see my recent app, the second one lets me see the app drawer - too complicated!
any suggestions?

How 2 turn off the home jumper thing on the bottom screen?

When I'm flipping left and right on my home/widget screens this short cut/jump to screen pops up on the bottom. I can't figure out how to disable it!! I try to go into my drawer/all app list and end up jumping to another home screen. Please help

You could just use a different launcher? I've moved to ADW Launcher and I'm loving it so far. Lots of options/tweaks.
Drop blur & just use an alternative home launcher such as adw or launcher pro.

Just downloaded new launcher. Good info thanks y'all.

I use launcher pro (plus) the beta version is free, basically i turn off homescreen rotation (like it is in moto, which i agree with i'm only gonna hold the homescreen one way)
and i enable 5 rows in the homescreen Gives so much more room to have widgets. as well as icons, it looks kinda messed up if you go landscape homescreen.
It just makes sense to me and wish more wide phones (which is about all the new phones now) should come like that

Setting one icon in the center?

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

the App drawer in the bottom middle disappeared

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

[Q] Apex Launcher drawers

I've been using Apex Launcher for 3-5 days now on my phone and Nexus 10, and had a question or two about the App Drawer, if anybody has an answer. For one, I was wondering if it was possible to create a shortcut or widget to a specific drawer tab?
Second, I was wondering if it was possible to make it scroll Vertically (continuous) within a tab, then a horizontal swipe switched to the next drawer tab? I have found no ways so far to do either one.

The lack of continuous vertical scroll is the one reason why I won't use Apex on my Tablet. I just switched to Nova.

[Q] Nova Launcher - Swipe UP to launch My Magazine

I thought I heard that there was a way to Launch 'My Magazine' using gesture/swipe up in Nova Settings. All I see there is the APP DRAWER. Can you launch specific apps in the launch draw (like 'my magazine') using gesture/swipe up ?
as long as the app is available in the gesture settings it'll launch it. i know smart launcher does and i currently have it set for that. i'll probably change it since i use feedly far more than i'll use the my magazine app.
edit: oh snap! i didn't pay attention that i posted in the note 3 forum. i thought i was in the gn10.1 2014 forum, lol. either way it's all the same.
I found the setting for 'My Magazine' but unfortunately Swipe Up is not doing anything (& swipe up in nova says "my magazine" now). Perhaps NOVA needs a restart. Trying that next.
My gestures work -in my use i find if you make sure you touch a part of the screen not covered by a widget or button then do the motion -the action gets carried out

That was it, thanks sent. I had a widget blocking my swipe, I guess.
Glad it helped! You can even do the gestures along the furthest side of the screen and it'll work so no worries about having to leave a space open to do it!
