Thanks

I don't think you can change them on Open Home Email the dev and request that feature. It's a handy feature, they would probably implement it

Thanks. I've already sent an email. On the atrix there is way too much open real estate with the 4x4 layout

Creating custom shortcut to notification window

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to create a custom shortcut to pull down the notification bar/window. I like to have the thing him hidden but am looking for a quicker way to access it than hitting menu doftkey and selecting notifications. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I use ADW EX.
It has swipe gestures that will do what you want. Pretty amazing app. Other launchers may do this, but I can only confirm ADW EX. It's the best launcher, IN MY OPINION. Others may have another fav (mainly b/c they don't like giving a developer $3).
I use LP Pro..so it's not that I don't want to spend the 3 bucks. More like I put my money on a different racehorse.
What I'm asking is definitely possible, theres already a shortcut it's just in the menu. I just can't figure out how to pull it out and use it.
Edit: I was able to bind tje home button to opening the notification bar...it's not how I wanted to do it but it works. Would still like to see if anyone knows how to create a shortcut for it.

I use LP too. I have one of my swipe gestures on my dock icons set to open notifications.

Pull down Notification Menu

Hi guys
Question: Does anyone know of an app, that can also give us Android users the kind of functionality on the Iphone 5 pull down? (See Screenshot)
I would like to see my mails listed, maybe the first 2 or so, with sms, weather etc?
I have looked, maybe this is a nice dev opp?
There are apps you use to get like this, but one single app, i think we still dont have...

For the Pull Down Notification Bar Toggles try "Notification Toggle" free from the market...

yeah, sorry. I saw that. Perhaps should have mentioned it.
I'm on stock 2.3.4. and it said it wouldn't work.
so thanks for re-using the search function for me.
Don't get me wrong but the notification/widget implementation on iOS is not pretty efficient in my opinion.
I'd hate to be constantly pulling down just so see what's up with the weather or whatever.
I rather have my widgets on the unlock screen or desktop as Android does.
Cheers!

(REQUEST) Simple apk to launch a activity.

Hi all can a make a request for some one to make me a simple apk to add a icon to the app drawer and launch a activity I dont want the app to have a ui I just need it to launch a activity. This will be for a custom ROM. This is a script that would do the same thing.
am start -n com.authentec.TrueSuiteMobile/com.authentec.TrueSuiteMobile.NavigationConfiguration
Also could the app be named Finger navigation. Thanks

By app drawer do you mean the folder that shows your installed apps? If so your request doesn't make sense as all installed apps go there.
If however you mean on your home screen just hold finger down til menu shows and on there choose "application" and then choose the app you want on it. Then it puts the icon on screen for you.

I mean the 1st option some apps dont go into the app drawer basically I know I can just make a shortcut on the desktop to the selected activity but I would like a installable apk that launches the above activity from the app drawer not as a shortcut on the desktop. If any one can make this I will be very greatfull.

The activity is a selected page in a motorola app that moto decided to hide from us.

5 horizontal icons on home screen

Have been using Ollo for some time and really like the 5 horizontal icons on home screen and app drawer. Now want to try an alternative rom but would like this feature. I know I can use TW UX for the app drawer but what about the home screen?
Tried asking on the Ollo forum but guess the Dev didn't want to share how he did it, which is fair enough.
Could it be dpi related?
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
changing dpi might work yes.
in nova launcher you can choose the ammount of rows and kolomns of your homescreens and dock. But not for app drawer, but changing dpi of the launcher might work
Thanks for the input I should have also said I would prefer to stay with TW

Is there a way to make a widget persistent?

Is there any way to make a selective widget, like the DuckDuckGo widget, persistent in the place of the Google search widget? I ask this because the Google search widget that is persistent doesn't take up a complete grid like it would if I was to add the DuckDuckGo widget to every page at the top.
Adding the DuckDuckGo widget drops everything down much further, even with another grid space added on Nova, than just having the persistent widget does.
I saw with Lightning Laughed you could "pin" a widget in place and it is almost like using a persistent widget, in that it stays in the same place as you scroll through homescreens, but its still very very different. I have also seen Overlays but that is completely different as well.
So is there any way to modify Nova, and of the other launchers, or a ROM to use the DuckDuckGo widget as persistent instead of the Google search bar?

Agreed, would love to do this.
Any thoughts?

I've been researching for the past couple of days and the closest thing I have been able to find is Lightning Launcher. Sadly that isn't even close to what I'm wanting. I'm going to keep looking and see if I ever run across something, which looks doubtful at this point...

Apparently SS Launcher allows pinning as well, I am currently emailing the Dev and discussing persistent widgets but I don't have much hope because he doesn't seem to know what I am talking about or the differences.
I am going to start looking for a way to edit it but I'm not very hopeful I'll find a solution.

Been looking for this too

I've been searching for exactly this for a while now - no dice. Has anyone here had any luck?

Not at all, the ssLauncher Dev has no idea what I a, talking about, he doesn't speak English as his first language so its extremely hard for me to explain things to him. I eventually gave up.
I've heard that the Dev responsible for Action Launcher adds just about anything his users ask for so I am going to email him later today and see if he can and would add that. Ive been trying to figure this out for quite a while and no one knows anything about it and the few that do, I've found 2 people who supposedly know, don't want to explain what edits need to be made.
I'll post back when I get dome talking with the Dev over Action Launcher!

I have contacted the Action Launcher developer and am awaiting response. I will post with updates as soon as I hear anything.

Nice. Action launcher is beast. I don't always use it but it's one sick launcher
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
why don't you use a launcher that allow for widget overlapping so you don't have to worry about grid size?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2 since the money I spent on XDA Premium is now wasted with the update
Try this http://goo.gl/WzjRK
Or a side bar with widgets like this http://goo.gl/ySNsZ
Good luck
