Adding shortcut of a setting on home screen - OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A

I want a button on the home screen that executes the following : "open Settings > Display > Screensaver > click on Start Now button " Is this possible?

If you can't find another way then use Activity Launcher.
Activity Launcher - Apps on Google Play
Launches hidden activities and creates shortcuts for installed apps

[Q] [CM7] Shortcut to Additional Settings (Call Settings)

Hi,
I am using:
Galaxy S2
Cyanogenmod 7.1
I need a shortcut from my homescreen to:
Settings > Call Settings > Additional Settings.
Long-Hold on Homescreen > Custom Shortcut > Pick your Activity > Activities > Settings
gives me a BUNCH of options to set as a shortcut except the one i need =(
Is there some solution to my problem?
Thank You
Not all settings are able to have shortcuts unfortunately, and there's nothing you can do. The same goes for the Samsung ROMs as well.

[Q] Quickly open Quick Settings?

I'm trying to set up a shortcut to open the JB quick settings window (the one you get by swiping the corner of the status bar, or swiping with two fingers, depending on your preference), and I can't seem to find a command for it anywhere. Not in Tasker, not in the Activities list, and no widget in the Play store that opens it with a tap. Oddly, I can use the Nova Launcher "Nova Actions" menu to create an "expand quick settings" button, but it can only sit on the home screen, while I want to add a button to my quick launch. If I could just create a widget or shortcut that toggles that button it'd work fine, but I can't find the functionality anywhere.
I'm running CM10.1. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
On HTC ONE you pull your notifications down with 2 fingers.

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.

Google Assistant Reassignment

Hi everyone,
So I have full screen gestures turned on for my navigation bar on my S10 Lite (Sprint Network USA SM-G770U1). I wanted to see if there was a way to either get rid of the activation beep for Google Assistant or to reassign the assistant to another gesture. I just don't want to accidentally activate it when doing the home gesture. I tried assigning a different home screen gesture with Nova Launcher, but it didn't work.
This is my first post and I'm excited to be here!
Thank you!
In the Nova Settings it says: "Android 10 gesture navigation - Google has not yet made gesture navigation compatible with 3rd party launchers. There is nothing that Nova Launcher can do to change this until a future Android update."
I came across the same problem myself, and found a solution how to completely turn off Google Assistant. There are two things you need to do:
1st. Go to Settings > Google > Account services > Search, Assistant & Voice > Google Assistant > Under "Manage your Google Account" tap on "Assistant" tab > Scroll to the bottom of the screen > Under "Assistant devices" tap on "Phone" > Turn off the button next to a Google Assistant.
2nd. Go to Settings > Applications > Tap on three dots that are located on the right top of the screen and choose "Default applications" > Assistant application > App for help with the device > None.
That's it!
I hope you have a great day ahead. :fingers-crossed:

How to get rid of two or three buttons?

I am using Nova gestures
is there a way to remove or temporarily disable the two or three button bottom bar?
thanks
If you are ọn Android 11, go to settings > system > gesture > choose gesture navigation options. If you are on Android 10, you can't use navigation gesture with other launchers (if you still want, there is an ADB code to force enable)
