Nova & AOSP Quick Settings shortcuts/activities... wow, really getting into this now! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps

Nova & AOSP Quick Settings shortcuts/activities... wow, really getting into this now!
I know that Nova has always had "shortcuts" that you can play with.
And the same for AOSP Quick Settings "custom shortcuts".
Just starting to really get into these options now and some of them are very powerful. Between "Activities" and "Shortcuts" and "Browser Favorites", my Quick Settings is really starting to fill up.
My favorite one so far is I swipe down Quick Settings and click a button and it takes me directly to a Create New Calendar Event page.
Same for my Touch Tunes app. Click a button and it takes me directly to the Search for Music page. No more opening the app and clicking several buttons to get where I want to go.
What kind of cool activity/shortcuts have you set up with Nova or Quick Settings? And does anyone know how to edit the name of a Quick Settings custom shortcut?
I haven't done much with it yet. Just kind of got into it yesterday. This is what I've got so far.

Nice, I knew we could edit the quick settings, didn't know we could add our own

"Activities" is powerful but if you wanna go wild use it in conjunction with Tasker. You need to be rooted and have Tasker, Busy Box & Secure Settings installed. Furthermore, there are more potent ways/apps out there that harness the power of "activities", gestures and other goodies, one notable being LMT (the pie) and surely don't overlook the power of "scenes" in Tasker. Try combining them all and you'll get to really appreciate the underlying power of Android (in a burst of enthusiasm and amazement).
Ex: I set 4 screen-brightness-presets in Tasker and assigned them in LMT (gestures) using two finger swipe (up for A Brightness, down for lowest, and another 2 intermediary levels for right to left / left to right. The beauty comes from the fact that it works even over the locked screen (pattern). This way I no longer use any conventional settings for brightness...and keep in mind this is merely one example out of many others

I'm interested in doing this on my GPE 4.2.2 rom. how would I go about this?

Google Phone Edition. Basically the pure vanilla / "Nexus" version of the Galaxy S4: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4?id=samsung_galaxy_s4&hl=en

Then no, the Quick Settings won't work with it.
Or any Touch Wiz phone.
But Nova Actions will work.

[Q] Change quick launch shortcuts?

I was wondering if there's a mod out there to allow you to change the quick launch shortcuts at the bottom of the screen? Or am I just stupid and you can do this with a stock phone?
I realize when we get some new ROMs going this will be added in, I'm just enjoying my stock ROM with Da_G's OC kernel and CWM for now.. I don't really have the free time to be playing around with new ROMs right now, but a flash-able mod would be great for this since I only really use two of the shortcuts.
Have you tired a custom launcher? I just got my note today and the first thing i did was install the zeam launcher.

App drawer - menu - edit - customizable grid - tap and drag.
Okay.. I was trying to stay away from using a different launcher, I've tried them in the past and always ended up uninstalling them after a few hours.
One more step to add to mikegehl's write-up: Then Menu > Save, or your changes won't stick.
Why they had to make it so much more difficult than any other position on the screens (simple drag-n-drop to remove, press-n-hold to add) is beyond me. But, it is one of my very few complaints about the stock UI.
How to change quick launch icons.
Ok I wish this was a little easier but there is a way to change the quick launch icons (all but the applications icon of course). Just click on Applications icon, click on the menu button, click on view type, make sure its on customizable grid, then click menu again, then edit. You can now drag icons (upto 4 on the note) on and off the quick launch. remember to click menu, save once you're done or it will revert back. Hope this helps!

[Q] App list, dialer and other basic questions after Jester's Liquid ICS

I've recently updated to Jesters Liquid beta rom and now to the new 2.7 version if this makes any difference. I used to have a setting on the stock rom that allowed me to view all my apps as a list instead of pages of icons. I can't find this setting now. Is this due to Nova launcher, ICS, or me just not being able to find it? I really, really prefer a list with large text, much like the manage apps list that shows up, instead of a bunch of little icons that all look similar to older eyes that also don't see colors well.
I use Go Contacts ex and it's dialer, but this seems to be the same with the stock dialer. If I program a number to speed dial that has pauses inserted int he number, the call will not go through. It worked on the stock rom, but not on the newer roms. Is there a different dialer I could try or some other setting I can use to make these numbers with the pauses work again? (that's a trick from long ago where you would insert a pause after the phone number and then another number after it, like a password or access code, so that you could get into a voicemail system, etc. by just using your speed dial)
Pop up notification from a phone call. Any way to really increase the size of the text on this? I don't have any contact pictures downloaded, so I need to be able to see the name or number of who's calling. Any suggestions?
The status bar at the very top. I think I've figured out most of the icons, but could use a little help to be sure. Left to right it looks like
Bluetooth Screen brightness Location settings? (does this turn on and off GPS or what?) Refresh (is this to turn off sync features or what does it do) Wifi, Flashlight. How did I do?
I can come up with more questions, but I'm guessing you're tired of reading by now, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
So, 24 hours, almost 200 views and not one response? I must have asked the most difficult noob questions ever, or am just so stoooopid that no one wants to waste their time with me. Wonder which one it is?
I can only help with the status bar question.....
Go to Menu.... System settings .... Interface ....... Status bar ....... Toggles....... Power widget ....... Widget button order.
From there you can see what is selected and the associated icons. I have changed the defaults, so I don't know if your guesses are correct. From the Power widget menu, choose Widget buttons to change which buttons are displayed.

I'm using Apex launcher on Liquid's pure ICS, not Nova on Jester's, but they're more alike than different and you can install Apex if Nova doesn't have this. But either way, try hitting the menu key, then Manage Apps, it should give you a list like you're looking for. Likewise, go to the App Drawer and click on Menu and it should give you the same option, or Settings -->Device -->Apps

I use the stock dialer, so I'm not sure about Go, but having used it in the past, I'm sure what you're looking for is in there. You might want to see if there's a FAQ section on their website, or go to one of the less technical forums and do a search in their apps section. Alternately, you could try DW Dialer, EX Dialer or Dialer One and see if they better meet your needs.

Try Settings --> Display -->Font Size
or
Settings -->System-->Accessibility and see if the app it suggests helps
or
search for Accessibility in the Play Store.
Also, maybe a different theme or dialer would help.

Everyone's is going to be different.
Go to
Settings -->Shortcuts-->Interface-->General and/or StatusBar. Check and uncheck stuff and see what it does. You won't break anything, though you might want to do a back up first in case you just really screw it up.
I can come up with more questions, but I'm guessing you're tired of reading by now, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried it on the stock dialer too. The problem appears to be related to the stock dialer programming. I think the dialer apps I've played with somehow just piggyback off the stock dialer for function.

I haven't had much luck searching. Everything seems to be centered around a larger contact picture instead of larger text. I don't have any contact pictures in the phone, so that doesn't help me.

And just to be clear. If I select Manage Apps, a list of apps does show up like I'm wanting, but that menu is made for stopping, uninstalling, etc. I would like my app drawer button or whatever you call it to display my apps as a list when I'm looking for an app to open. I'll download Apex and give it a spin
It's an inelegant solution but maybe a good start. Download ES File explorer. That has an app manager button that lists everything in text format. Click in an app and it gives you a choice for details or open.

That kind of works. If I leave the app manager open in list view as the last thing in that app, then each time the app is opened I get a list view of apps. It requires pushing on the app and then pushing open, but at least it's a list, so I'm happy. Apex lets me move the app icon out of the way and stick the ES app in it's place, so this will work for now I think.

It's a Sense thing. I think most of what you're looking for is available stock on Sense based roms.
Someone just developed a new one based on the BAMF leak and it's pretty smooth.

I'll look, but honestly, I really don't enjoy switching to new roms. It takes me forever to get everything up and running the way I want it and to learn almost enough to function daily with it. I do like the list view though, so I'll keep an eye on reports of battery life. I did try the BAMF leak and was extremely disappointed with the battery life (running extended battery) and data drops. That was my first new rom (I originally rooted just to get rid of bloatware), and I was complaining about my dislikes on another forum when someone pointed me to Liquid's version here. I downloaded Jesters beta version and loved it compared to the BAMF leak. After having read all the internet articles, I was under the impression that the BAMF leak was the cat's meow. Now I realize those articles are about as unbiased as the national so called news.
Is Santod's new sense rom as laggy as the BAMF leak, or have they tweaked that out of it by now.

Almost no comparison to BAMF. Much smoother. Honestly, not as smooth as Liquid/Jester but data/signal seems more stable and almist everything works.
If visual stuff, contrast and ease if use are issues for you, it's worth a spin. I'm also running Apex. I don't know if that contributes to lag over the native Sense, but it has the features I want.
Yeah, switching toms is a royal pain, but you do what ya gotta do.

[MOD][XPOSED] Suggestions Toggle

I'm using Swiftkey pretty much since my first Android smartphone and it always bugged me when I wanted to type email addresses or other stuff the dictionary didn't contain. So when I type something and hit the spacebar the word would be autocorrected to something completely different. I always wished there would be a simple toggle to enable/disable autocompletion/suggestions. Well, now there is!
This module allows you to double tap any text box to enable/disable suggestions. It's tested on Swiftkey and Google keyboard both on Android KitKat.
Featured on
XDA-Portal

Requirements
Xposed Framework
Instructions
download the module and install it
activate it in Xposed Installer → Modules
reboot your device
double tap in a text box to enable/disable suggestions
Celebrate!
Thanks

See this baby being quite useful. Should have been part of the system from the start!
Will give it a try once that "issue" is resolved.
It's not really an issue. I only noticed it when being in Google Mail, double tapping in the subject, then going to the message body, double tapping and then going back to the subject field. So this use case is rather rare. Usually you are in Whatsapp or any other messaging service and operate only in a single field. Not multiple.
Is it possible that the app will remember my settings for certain fields? For example disable the auto correction when it meets again the input field of a mail address in kmail?
@theknut
Great mod idea. :good.
With June 30 update, works great on Stock 4.0.4 . What at treat. Thanks.
(why Swiftkey devs don't add a toggle for this is beyond me!!!)
I have been wanting something like this for a LONG time!
Suggestion
- It would be great if this toggle could be triggered by a SHORTCUT. Then, we could use a mod like "Gesture Navigation" to toggle the feature on/off.
Not working on my galaxy s4 running kit kat either, hope this is fixed soon as it's a great idea.
Not working on Moto G with Google Keyboard
Not working on Samsung s2 with swift key.
Edit....
Now it's works fine with the update fix... Thanks Dev for the fix. Great..

Works fine on my LG P500 over multiling-o kb.
Suggestion: Choice of gestures. Why? Because that double-click is functional in various text-programs including messaging (seems to insert/remove new-line). Kind of limited because directional gestures will also be functional. Ideas?
This seems to just disable suggestions entirely when I'm using Swiftkey (beta if that matters). Double tapping does nothing, and swipe input (flow) is disabled.
Google Keyboard works as expected and I can toggle suggestions, but only if the input field originally allows for this. I was hoping that this would allow me to turn on suggestions for input fields that some idiot developer forced to have suggestions off, and it doesn't do that. Would be a great feature to see in the future!
Excellent module :highfive:
Works fine on the play store "L" keyboard FYI and TY!
N900T rooted stock.
This is great!
Thank you very much. I love autocorrect but it drives me crazy sometimes. Now the solution is "a double tap away", again, thank you
(I'm on CM11 maguro)
I don't get the point of this, at least with SwiftKey. Since you still type out the word instead of swiping it, you can always have SwiftKey accept what you wrote out - the word would appear in the leftmost suggestion.
This is totally awesome! :good: :laugh:
HTC One (m7) here and it works like a charme!
Seriously...this solves a problem that has always annoyed me big time and I already made a note to see if it's "programmable" with Tasker and place a shortcut in the quicksettings menu. But it still felt to complicated...this is super intuitive and works flawless!
Thank you!

@Archon810
Do you use the setting... auto space after a period? Sometimes, in some scenarios, in trying to spell out a long word that has periods or punctuation in it, SwiftKey keeps auto correcting and the usual method of using the top left suggestion box is virtually useless. Hard to explain. But, being able to temporarily disable suggestions/typos really comes in handy in this situation. I actually feel less stressed at times. Such a handy feature. Many have wrote to the SwiftKey devs over the years, asking for a similar Toggle. Instead, it manually takes 4-5 clicks to disable prediction. This module is the apitome of the usefulness of Xmodules such as this one. Thanks again to our dev @theknut.

I'll wait for this too.
The app is great, and I think it'll be amazing out of beta.
All the fancy stuff it does is great.
I'd love to get into this program and make tons of themes but some these basic problems really turn me away.
I guess I can wait for this wallpaper thing to work but weather really turns me away.
Also the inability to set multiple locations kind of sux too.
I wish android also separated cell and gps location so that i can always leave at least cellphone tower location on.

Hi,
Live wallpapers might take a while, however we can help with multiple locations.
If you long press on the widget - Advanced - Unlock widgets. Then long press again on the widget and select Configure. This will open the Themer Zooper Widget configuration menu.
Next select Location and select the "+" icon. Input a new location and select save. Add as many as you want.
Now go back and select the Layout option and navigate to the module you'd like to configure (such as location or temperature). Scroll down and select Override Widget Locality, then choose a location.
Go back out of everything and wait for the widget to refresh. Now long press on an empty space and lock your widgets again (or via the Themer menu if there is no free space).
Good luck! Let me know if there's anything else you need!

How-To Enable Two-Button Navigation on the OnePlus 8 Pro

I love that OnePlus gives us the option to use either gesture or three-button navigation. But I wish we had two-button navigation too! It's the best of both worlds! The good news is that it's super easy to enable Two Button Navigation with a super quick and easy ADB command. You will need USB Debugging enabled on your phone and ADB installed on your computer.
ADB Command: adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
Check out the video here to see it in action.
If you are on Android 11, the first method will not work. Please watch this video for instructions on how to get Two Button Navigation working on Android 11 (root required):
Would you happen to know how to get the original OnePlus gestures back to? Just figured I'd ask. Thanks.

they were the OnePlus gestures found on the OnePlus 6t that's what I came from and the back was a swipe up from the bottom corner of the left or the right side and then swipe up home was straight up from the center and then recents was swipe up and hold and then you can also jump to your last app that you opened by swiping up and to the right.

So it took me a few minutes to refresh my memory but I figured out what you're looking for! Good news is that I have the answer, bad news is that it's not what you're looking for.
When Google rolled out Android 10 they basically gave OEM's requirements on how the navigation bar had to work. The old implementation you're looking for is OnePlus's take on gesture navigation and Google basically says don't do it. So when they rolled out the OnePlus 7, they got rid of that option.
There might still be a way to enable it, but I haven't found anything yet. If I do, I'll be sure to let you know!
Here's a really good write up that explains the change. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-gesture-navigation-android-10/

Yes should be nice...
On 6T Android10 , we have both options to choose, google implementation and this one from OnePlus, for gesture navigation..
I believe this app will provide you all the gestures you need, posted elsewhere on these forums.

I'm using fluid navigation control for now. Was just hoping to not have to use a app for gestures.

FWIW, Google doesn't force OEMs to get rid of their own gesture implementation - they just have to hide it behind one extra Settings layer. For example, on the OPPO Find X2 Pro running ColorOS 7.1, you can still enable the swipe-up gestures (the same one from older versions of OxygenOS) as well as Google's full-screen gestures.

I wish it was a bug! Unfortunately, it's 100% by design. With Android 10, Google basically retired any navigation options that weren't their gesture or three-button options. Manufacturers can still include their own options but they have to do it in a submenu and can't use the Google framework files for it. They basically have to repack a bunch of files to get their stuff in the right spot on the menus, to get the overlay to work correctly, and then they have to still push the Google options as the default. It's just not cost-effective for OnePlus (or any manufacturer other than maybe Samsung) to use another option now. This method worked because OnePlus already had the work done on the framework, they just didn't update the menu to show their navigation options. With Android 11, there was enough of a rebase going on that they didn't go through the effort of adding it back in. But hey, this is XDA. I'm sure we'll see some mods in the future that will bring it back though!
