[Q] Any app to show recently launched programs in the app drawer?

I know I can long-press the home key, but would like basically the same icons in the app drawer too. Is this possible?
I don't know of an app that will do specifically what you want, but you can set a gesture action with Launcher pro to display the recent apps list. It sounds like you want your app drawer filtered to show the most recently used apps at the top.

Anyone manage to configure Launcher Pro swipe actions?

I'm running Launcher Pro Plus, and want to configure swipe actions for the dock icons, but when I press and hold each icon I only get to configure the main action for that icon - I don't get the swipe option. Has anyone else had this issue?

Nova launcher question

So I just set up nova, ive used it for nearly every phone. My question is, how can I get the double tap screen on and off back? The original LGG3 launcher has that and ive grown accustomed to it. Ive looked in activities and tried a couple different things like monitor activity, but that just disabled the monitor to where I needed to pull the battery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Install an app called "screen off and lock." Then you'll be able to set the double tap gesture to "screen off" in Nova's settings.
I've used that app and it works great. If you already use greenify you can goto gestures in Nova and select doubletap and the choose greenify screen off/hibernate shortcut or use that screen off app.
Thanks guys, the app worked great
If you dont want to install and app you can double tap on the notification bar
I actually ended up deleting the app and using greenify
I haven't tried on Nova yet, but using Google Now Launcher double tab on lock screen still works. Double tab the status bar on the homescreen locks the device.
Try double tapping the status bar?

App Shortcuts (long press) not working in launcher

I wanted to share an issue that puzzled me for a while. I had issues with App Shortcuts not working. I tried different launchers, and I could not get long presses to give me the shortcuts, for example for Play Store or Settings.
It turns out that a launcher can only show app shortcuts if it's set as the default launcher (in Settings > Apps > Gear Icon > Home App).
So, if launcher long presses, aka. App shortcuts do not work for you, check your default launcher.

Question About double tap lock

Hi
I searched thoroughly in the settings and the launcher to locate double tap on home screen to lock but this feature isn't available in this launcher version of this phone. Any way to enable this by any method?
Using third party launchers like nova will disable gestures navigation function...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only way to have MIUI launcher with double tap to lock is only in xiaomi.eu.
Don't know if there's a way to flash it or install it by any means.
