Nova Launcher Button Gone? : How to Restore the Missing App Drawer Icon in Nova Launcher

I installed Nova launcher on my NoxPlayer Android emulator but I could not figure out how to get the App Drawer Icon back that disappeared and was just gone and missing. This blog post below helped and all the credit goes to them for the fix.

Repost Via:http://valuestuffz.blogspot.com/2015/12/restore-missing-app-drawer-icon-android-launcher.html

A lot of Android users install third party launchers like Apex, Nova, GO, Google Now, Trebuchet and so on. Many times, users accidentally delete the app drawer(launcher) icon which is the circular button at the center of the bottom of the home screen (dock) which gives you access to all of your apps. Losing this icon means you can’t access the app drawer. However this is a simple issue. You can easily get back the missing app launcher icon. This post will show you how to fix/restore the missing app launcher icon on android:
App launcher icon missing on Nova launcher homescreen
Missing App launcher icon on home screen dock
App drawer icon or button is basically the circle with dots which when clicked lets you see all of your apps or app drawer. The app drawer icon is on the homescreen dock, usually at the middle of the bottom of the homescreen. When the app launcher button is not locked, users can sometimes accidentally drag it to another homescreen. So the first thing to do if that happens, is to swipe through your home screens and look for the icon, and then drag it back to its original place. If you have dragged the icon to the top, then it will be deleted (removed). In that case, you will need to restore the app launcher icon. To get back the missing app drawer icon (button) on your home screen, follow the below methods for each launcher- NOVA, GO, Trebuchet and Apex launcher.

  2. Select “Widgets”
  3. From Nova Launcher widgets, long press “Nova Action”
  4. You will now be taken to the home screen
  5. Select “App drawer”
  6. Drag the App drawer icon to its original place on the home screen

Many custom ROMs like Cynogenmod has Trebuchet setup as default launcher. If your app drawer icon is missing on Trebuchet here are the steps to get it back: 
  1. Go to Settings >> Apps 
  2. Scroll down and select “Trebuchet”
  3. Tap “clear data”
  4. Now your launcher is set to default
If that didn’t resolve the issue, you can try installing another third party launcher like Nova. 

Final method:

Uninstalling and reinstalling your launcher will also resolve the issue. However, you will lose your homescreen icons so you will have to set it up again. Simply go to settings >> apps >> scroll down and select the name of your launcher >> tap “uninstall”. Then go back to Google Play and re-install the launcher. Now you will get your app drawer icon back in your homescreen dock. 

That’s it. Even If you use other launchers apart from the ones mentioned above, you can use similar methods to restore missing app drawer/launcher icon on your home screen.

Freezing in Photoshop CC 2018 after using Camera RAW Filter

Photoshop CC 2018 is working fine when loading JPEG files or previous PSD fiiles. BUT while opening RAW files in Camera RAW and opening a Smart Object in the Camera RAW filter and allowing them to be worked on, in both cases, on re-importing to Photoshop, the program freezes, and the only way out is via closing the program with the Task manger. (Working in Windows 8.1) Similarly, Adobe Bridge freezes after opening a file in Camera RAW and then trying to use the file or open it elsewhere.  No problems before upgrading to the 2018 version.




In Preferences there are two areas where you can disable the GPU. I had previously tried disabling the GPU in the Photoshop preferences, but it had no effect - and I didn't really want to do that because I wanted the benefit of it in Photoshop. You can still leave the GPU enabled in the main Photoshop performance settings.

Go to Preferences>Camera Raw. At the bottom of that window there is a box headed Performance where you can enable/disable Graphics Processor. Disable it. Problem solved!

Additional Logon Information May Be Required Popup - Windows 7 using Pi-hole Fix

So I use pi-hole to block most ads at the router level with DNS, but this upsets windows 7 because it uses a DNS lookup to make sure we are not on a hotspot.

So even though I connect to my main internet I get this popup:






Here is how to fix this through the registry:

We can navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet, and then double-click the EnableActiveProbing, and change the Value date to 0.

So I think this happens because:
"To be clever, Windows then performs a DNS lookup on its own website. The hotspot will resolve the address, even though it won't let you access the site. In this case, Windows then concludes you are at such a hotspot and pops up the “additional log on information may be required” message."
- And since Pi-hole is a DNS based ad block it breaks it much like a hotspot
