Hi,
is it possible to add apps on the lockscreen or the google now menu that appears when you swipe from the middle of the screen?
i used a lockscreen app on my Arc S, but if there is a way to do this without an additional app, plz let me know
thx!
There's an app called Launch Now. You can select up to seven apps to choose from. You still slide up like you would for google now but a menu just pops up instead. It's only $1 and totally worth it

thanks, i know that there are apps put there that can do this, but i would prefer a way that doesnt need an additional app.
i saw something like that in a review, and i thought it was a feature of jellybean, but i guess it was some touchwizz/sense kinda 3rd party launcher app

The major ROMs have this feature. It's called Navbar Targets I believe. I know that AOKP has it, and I think CyanogenMod does too. Other such as CNA do as well. I'm sure that these ROMs will be ported to the Nexus 4 very soon. You configure these targets via settings, so you don't need another app.

I really need a way to hide my apps from the app drawer,
do I have to be rooted? Someone please help, if this is
Already answered somewhere sorry, lol I suck at forums. Need help!
Thanks
Go to the market and get ADW launcher. Awesome app that you don't need root to use. Has a slide bar on the bottom to hide any app you want. Other than that, I'm not sure of a way off the top of my head to do so.

When you say you are trying to hide apps from the app drawer....what do you mean? I dont think you can actually hide them from the app drawer if they are installed unless the app is designed to be hidden after install, such as "mobile defense" is. If you want to restrict access of apps so that someone cant just open your phone and get into your apps, there are apps out there that will require you to put in a password to gain access to your apps. I think the name of one of them is app protector.
If you are looking to hide them on your homescreen (ie: your app drawer dock)
then the best launcher to use would be "Launcher pro" or "ADW Launcher" In my personal experiance, I like Launcher Pro alot better. ADW has more settings options but there are a few functions on Launcher pro that I like more especialy the dock and app drawer ones.
Advanced launcher was in older versions of CyanogenMod. It had this feature. I don't know if the launcher is still being developed, but these new launchers should really take a cue from that. I found the feature useful, and I could definitely use it now. It also allowed you to put folders in your app drawer, which I thought was pretty cool.
I believe app safe will hide them. Its from the people that made photosafe and video safe and what not. Check the market for it. But I'm not entirely sure.
ADW is the only simple easy way. With ADW you can still have the app on your screens but hidden from the launcher drawer. You can also use the keyboard and type the app name and it shows up.
launcher pro just added this feature as well

Thanks for pointing that out. He hasn't updated the changelog on his blog so I didn't know what made it into the updates.
At least now I don't have to see my bloatware.
Hey i just got an Epic, rooted and I'm currently running the Truly Epic rom right now. But I was wondering if anyone know which rom or roms allow the user to sort the apps in alphabetical order and add more apps to the doc?
Thanks

I already have launcherpro and know everything launcherpro can use. However, i wanted to just go with Touchwiz for awhile.
Now when i use Touchwiz and go to my Apps>Menu>Edit....nothing shows up that will allow me to place the apps in alphabetical order. And when I attempt to add an app to the dock, one of the previous apps goes back into the the list with all the rest of my apps. So I'm only allowed to place 3 apps + the apps icon at the current moment. But i know I saw a video on youtube that had these features...I think was the Frankenstein Rom but I'm not sure

Not exactly. TouchWiz likes to do some funny categorizing which screws up the alphabetical listing. Using a different launcher like LauncherPro or ADW fixes this.
Zeam has a similar look as touchwiz and allows you to add icons

Nebula Rom has a nice modified touchwiz that allows editing and sorting. 4 interchangable apps in the drawer, and home button in the middle of it.

@OP
To sort your apps out in alphabetical order, open up your app list, press menu -> sort, then press menu again and there should be an option to sort a-z.
Better yet, go install GTG Touchwiz
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822523
It has a 5-icon dock and has an option for an alphabetical grid or alphabetical list.

I have confirmed that AppWidgetPicker work on ICS on Galaxy Nexus. If you are using a third party launcher. You should use AppWidgetPicker to better organize your widgets.
APK Link below.
That is all...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13331116
Push APK to your /System/App directory. Give all R/W permissions.
Someone should modify this for stock launcher. I can buy a coffee/beer for anybody who does

Will definitely donate if someone gets this working on the stock launcher
Android's permission system means that apps cannot normally bind widgets themselves. (This is part of the reason you sometimes see missing widgets when you restore a launcher or WidgetLocker from Titanium Backup or similar). Instead the method third-party-apps use is to call another app (AppWidgetPicker, or a replacement for it like this one) which DOES have the permission because it's a system app (hence the unusual install process for this replacement).
The stock launcher is also a system app, and does have the needed permission to bind widgets itself. It's built to ONLY bind itself, rather than use a third party app. This means that the AppWidgetPicker replacement cannot be modified to make it work, however the launcher itself could be.
Curious, what don't you guys like about the widgets-in-drawer? The grid view versus the list, the lack of grouping-by-app compared with boombuler's mod? Both?

Yeah the lack of grouping by app is the worst thing, because certain apps have dozens of widgets and it takes ages to find the one you want. The iPhone style page-by-page side scrolling doesn't help either. I actually like how we can see previews of the widgets but the navigation is a bit of a nightmare right now.

Oh dear, there's a long list of reasons:
1. I now have 5 pages of widgets!!
2. It's visually shocking because everything is a difference size
3. You don't consistently get a view of what widgets will look like
4. It takes longer to get to and then find a widget
Add and app with 20 widgets built in and you'll see. It sucks in my opinion. We need a list based picker for sure, ideally one with a preview mode.
Since you're here... any chance WL can have an option to hide the soft keys on the Nexus so it runs full screen? Also the 'recent apps' button isn't deactivated by WL so it still pops up...
Thanks, works great with the new Nova launcher

Hi,
if you post my apps, please take at least the latest version...
Original thread + new version is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
Widget picker works with Jelly Bean 4.1 too as I've just tried it on my GNEX. Same procedure as the first post mentions.
Any webOS user knows how you can simply use your finger to swipe up from the gesture area to pop open the app drawer. I think this would be a fantastic feature for any ICS phone in order to access the multitasking view.
I would gladly sacrifice 2-3 rows of pixels on the bottom of the screen in order to implement such a feature.
Of course this mod would render the actual button obsolete, I'm not sure what to replace it with.
Any devs wish to take on this project? I don't think it would be impossible to pull off.
NOVA Launcher has swipe gestures and will do what you are asking for.

Will it work from within any app? Not just the home screen? I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing.
Oh, no. Not from within any app. Like you said from the home screen.
However, you can use WaveLauncher to open the app drawer from within any app. I love WL, couldn't go without it.
EDIT: You could also try this.
GestureControl is pretty much what I wanted... very nice
Now what do I replace the multitask button with?
Good deal. I know with AOKP you can change and rearrange your soft keys, but I don't think there is an app that does this, although that is a good idea! There are also some mods for this in the theme section but I think you have to be de-odexed.
Wasn't the web os launcher ported to android in the market called wave launcher? I tried it before and it worked identical, from any app too.
I don't understand... LMT allows you to do any type of gesture to pretty much do anything, from ANY app...
Yeah here it is, even has the stretchy animation and all just as web os does.

As someone mentioned, LMT would work perfectly for you!
Sorry to post here instesd of Q & A. Can't find that forum on the mobile app.
Anywho, on normal android OS settings there is an option to hide the navbar for fullscreen apps. Now, the kindle seems able to do this since it does for certain apps that want to use fullscreen. However, this is not true for two things.
Firstly, landscape keyboards don't work.
Secondly, apps like skype and widgetlocker keep the nav bar open, and this cuts off part of the app. On a normal tablet selecting the allowing to hide on fullscreen option works.
Any ideas how to toggle that setting? I can't wait to have a full settings menu back...
Image included is the settings option. This is no way relates to the kindle, since, we obviously don't have a useful OS like that yet just wanted to include it in case you weren't sure on what setting i was talking about.

This question was posted before we had recoveries or custom ROMs haha. I've been running MooROM ever since it was released. This was back when we had to use that crummy Amazon OS they put on the kindles.
