Dragging apps to the homescreen does not work #51

Closed tpeg5stan closed 7 years ago

tpeg5stan commented 7 years ago

I am using a lenovo Moto G4 ; android 7.0 Nougat.

I am unable to add a shortcut to the home screen. When i long-press an app, I see the uninstall button at the bottom, and I can "move" it from a drawer to another, but impossible to switch to the homescreen and drop it.

What seems strange is that I perfectly remember I was able to do it once, and then (is it the upgrade from android 6 to 7 or a configuration I missed ?) I can't anymore.

Any idea ? I still find silverfish a very useful launcher, thanks for the good work.

Yes, that's the issue. I installed the F-Droid version to test (I had a custom build), and I'm able to drag shortcuts to the home screen (Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow). @stanipintjuk has the same issue on his Android 7 device, and I don't know why this can be.

So the problem seems to be Android 7...

I honestly do not see where the problem could comme from. I have tried to look at what is new with android 7 and did not see this kind of thing.

Is there a way to get past this problem by, for example, by adding a menu>add to launcher if we press the app longer ? Or, like there is an "uninstall" option at the bottom of the screen, create a "add to home screen" at the top of the screen ?

This confuses me a bit...
