*#*#4636#*#* Widget

I'm trying to find a widget that will do the *#*#4636#*#* so I can toggle data settings. Not having any luck finding something that works. Does anyone have one they'd recommend?
Thanks
Do you use other launcher? Like nova or something similar.
Then you can make a shortcut .
Shortcut - activities- in that list choose settings-phone info/radio info.
And with launcher you can choose an icon you like.
That's how I do it. one tap take me into radio menu.

I do use Nova Prime and just did what you suggested. Never used those shortcuts before, worked like a champ. Thanks

[Q] Android Launchers With Innovative features

Hi,
I'm looking around for an Android launcher with a really innovative, good looking and yet simple android launcher. The closest I've come is Aviate. Any thing else on your mind? Please point out!
you can try Buzz launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206094

Done that.... Still on the old grid system with practically no new extremely innovative features
I love Action Launcher.
It has shutters which is awesome, and the app drawer is on the side.

Wheres Flash Light in 'Widget on Tap Action'?

I got a samsung galaxy s3 that has a widget called Assistive Light that turns on the flash light. I want to use it in zooper. But I cant find it in the list of 'Widget on tap Action'. Where exactly is it?
If its possible to use it, what code do I use in zooper to show that its turned on upon tapping it?
You have to use Tasker for that.

If you're using Nova launcher (probably similar process in other launchers) you could look under tap actions / shortcuts / (nova) activities.
Perhaps you'll find your shortcut there.

Just noticed there's no such shortcut for that flashlight app (installed it to have a look).
You could use TeslaLED Flashlight for this.

Nice try but that app takes a long while to enable the flashlight. Apprecuate it though.
Try changing the LED Method in the settings for me its Standard on a S4

LG Health app missing?

Hey gang,
I can't find the shortcut to launch the LG Health app. It's NOWHERE to be found on my phone! I know the app is installed as I can access it via the 'G' screen on the left of the home screens. I don't have any apps hidden in the app drawer either.
Can any of you guys see it in your app drawer?
You have use the LG extra page, whatever the name, to see it. You can't start the app itself it seems.

Really?
How rubbish! I won't be using that then.
Thanks
Yeah you can only use the widget at the home screen.
Is there some smart app to create your own shortcut maybe? A lot of LG stuff goes out the window if you start using another launcher.

I've just done that very thing!
I'm using Nova and I've made an shortcut to a Nova 'Activity' which exposes everything the phone can do pretty much.
If you're not using Nova there are apps in the store that will do the same. Smart Shortcuts is one.

Interesting.... Have you found one that gives you access to the Widget 'Smart Notice'?
That is the one widget I would like to use with Nova.
It's also a shame Nova does not give you access to LG Health by means of a separate home screen. Yes you can do as you say, make a shortcut Activity to LG Health but an icon is not the same as swiping to its own widget style home screen!

G3 features with 3rd party launchers?

will my device still retain features such as knock on, knock codes, lg's customized nav buttons, qslide apps, multi windows if I use a 3rd party launcher like nova launcher?
yes. the only thing you will lose is the lg specific widgets, the lg health page and the ability to knock off anywhere (you can still double tap the status bar to knock off)
i'm using nova and all the other lg stuff works great

Thanks, but how about the nav buttons? I don't want to lose the ability to rearrange the nav buttons and quick notification pull down button
Yes all of that will work fine

I wish there was a way to still get the LG widgets and health app outside of the stock launcher. I'd also love the lock screen clock as a widget
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
Knock off will only work if you double tap the status bar. It's unfortunate.

I found a solution by binding nova launcher gesture to a screen off app
I'm also using Nova. I wish it came with gestures for locking the screen. It would have been easier to replicate the knock off feature

If you are using Nova Launcher, you can create a shortcut to the LG Health app.

I found the "Turn Off" little free app works beautifully for that.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.marinelli.android.TurnOff
Just install it, then bind the double tap gesture in Nova to "Turn off" shortcut, and you get an exact replacement for Knock Off.
Turn Off utility works great. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the lead on the program, and for the tip on hitting the notification bar.
I was afraid I'd have to make the tough choice between the functionality of the double-tap and just using Nova.
Forgive me if I missed the explanation, but why doesn't the double-tap just work in Nova like in the standard launcher?

I think that the double tap gesture in Nova needs to be tapped on a blank/empty area without any icons/shortcuts/widgets.
using g3 tweaksbox I set the double tap on home key to turn screen off and enabled double tap on status bar. so when using phone with one hand I can reach the home button easily.
