If you hold the recent apps it will bring up an option for system settings, if you go to your settings that way it will show you the settings in tab form.

Yes that settings go to the rigt one.. But if i click shortcut or in app driver settings gies to list one

Hi! This is because LG actually put in 2 different settings apps, one in tab view and the other in list view. You can see this when you change the view for settings in the upper right conrner of the settings app and then look at your recent apps. The thing is that nova launcher, and also a lot of other launchers (Google Now Laucher for example), only have the listed-view settings app in their app drawer. You can get to the tabbed view, as mentioned above, by holding your recents button and selecting settings from there or you can hit the settings button in the upper right corner of your notification pull down tray..

Ohh so thats why...thank you

I just noticed that when using noval launcher ,theres a slight delay after pressing apps like messaging , phone, gallery to launch. After trying back stock launcher, they kind off open instantly. Anyone experience that too ?

Yes i noticed too.
sent from me. :]

This'll help
I whipped this up in tasker. It'll make a shortcut (available in app drawer) to get to the tabbed settings... First run is a little slow to load. You can put it wherever you want (folder, desktop etc)

This helped me alot. I have the LG G Stylo/Rooted/Nova Prime. Setup is great and I keep it with a stock look.

Halp! App Drawer Gone from Dock on CM6 RC2!

I accidentally replace the App Drawer shortcut on my middle dock icon with my cam, how do I get the App Drawer shortcut back? I tried resetting AWD but its still there!
. anyone? .
i did the same. seems to be a new 'feature' of ADW located at Menu -> Settings -> ADW -> UI Settings -> Main Dock Style
i was able to get the desired center icon back by toggling to a 3 button bar then back to a 5 button bar. you could also try restoring a prior adw backup.

the issue is I'm already using 5 button layout so when i change to 3 and then back to 5 it does not give me any empty slots because there all use up. I do not want to do a nandroid backup for something as silly as this.. theres gotta be a easier way.
Isn't there a App Drawer shortcut Icon I can put on homescreen and then drag to middle dock icon?
Long press on your home screen, custom shortcut, pick your activity, launcher actions, open close app drawer, okay.
Drop it where ever you want.

I bet you did it while trying to trash a shortcut , instinctively the drag goes to the old location of the trash can. Happened to me twice and was able to correct it like neckface described it.

OMG thanks dude, was showing a friend my phone and trying to get him to go with android, and accidently did that, and tried all ADW settings and still couldn't fix it...
thanks again man, I thought I was gonna have to do all those back-ups and stuff.

[Q] turn off transparent bottom bar

Hi all,
my bottom bar on home screen and on application screens suddenly turned transparent
Dunno, how that happened. I didn't install anything new by the time it has occured. But I'm struggling to find a solution how to turn it back to solid dark-gray color.
Pls help!
thanks in advance.

Sorry mate. It didn't work. Besides the fact it resetted all my icons and home screen to the default state, it hasn't done anything else.
Still has the problem
In one of the settings for the launcher you can choose from various docks.Also transparant. Isn't that he problem.
can you navigate me where exactly can I find these Launcher settings you're mentioning?
thanks.

[Q] go launcher ex - screen sensitivity problems???

so, just got my phone looking and feeling pretty much how I wanted it using go launcher but I am noticed that either i have a problem with screen sensitivity or there is a problem with go. I am finding that i have to click some icons several times to launch them, seem worse in drawer.
Anyone else finding that the get the audible click but nothing happens?
EDIT: switched back to ADW and everything is back to normal, gotta be an issue with GO..
No. The only problems I've had with Go Loauncher EX is that there was a lag between the start of a horizontal swipe and the homescreens starting to swipe - resolved once I stopped the wallpaper from scrolling too, and in the app drawer sometimes a long press doesn't launch "edit mode".
Other than that it's all gravy...
odd, my problems disappeared when moving back to ADW. Cheers anyway though.
+1 haha i thought it was just me that was having this issue.when you select something on launcher it indicates the touch with the glow but nothing happens?press couple times and it will open.that is what i was having.was making think i was having lag.went back to touchwiz not a issue.
+2 Hot damn, I thought I was going crazy.
Edit: I emailed them about it but it definitely goes away with a different launcher
cool hopefully they will have a fix in no time.those guys work hard.its hard to go back to touchwiz after go.i also use there go pro messenger.built in backup etc like the laucnher.
Having the same "lag" problem.
So, we're all NOT crazy
Cant say I have had this issue and I have been using GO Launcher for quite some time now.
Yes, I noticed this bug also.
I'm using go launcher ex for some time and this came out since 2-3 weeks.
I hope they will fix it soon.

I am having the same issue here. Gestures are disabled but that didn't help (even after restarting phone). Used to have Launcher Pro Plus which didn't have this kind of behavior.
Sent dev an email though.
Same observations. Especially bad for icons in the dock. I have always disabled gestures.
+1 I also have this problem from time to time. First I tought it was me missing the right spot on the screen, but it must be a bug.

How do you get rid of this widget?!

Hi all.
I am at a loss. Running AOKP (4.0.4) with Nova Launcher. Out of nowhere yesterday, this Power control widget decided to add itself to the notification area. I dont even know how it got there and sure as hell dont know how to get it off of there. I know you can add it to one of the screens but did not know it can be added in that area. Does anyone have any idea where this setting is if it exists? I would like to know how to get rid of it before reflashing the ROM.
I know there is another set of toggles you can add which I had but then I was stuck with 2 power control widgets in the notification area. Thanks.
Try touching the settings button in your notification area
I did but then it adds or deleted another set of toggles on top of that one lol

In your app drawer find "Power Controls" and Uncheck the checkmark in the Notifications widget box, and press the pin button to turn it off in the accessibility menu.
Or
Uninstall the entire app

Thanks, man. That did it. I realized that I hid the app. Once I unhid it and unchecked that checkmark, it went away.

Second Screen Shortcuts add up to 6 [UPDATED 12-15-15]

Add up to 6 shortcuts to second screen. This means one more. I tried to do 7, but I simply don't have enough screen space with proper padding to squeeze in 7.
I can only confirm this working on the pure stock rom. Try on others, but do a backup first.
Another finding is you have to use the stock launcher to add it. The reason this is, is because you have to drag and drop it into second screen from the homescreen or app drawer. Once you have it set you can go back to using your launcher of preference.
Installation:
Flash attached zip through recovery or unzip it and move to system\priv-app\ConeShortcut and set perms rw-r-r. I am also including the original app in .bak format in case some forget to backup their original.
Again as of now I can only confirm working on the stock rom and using the stock launcher to set. Second screen is tied into so many aspects of the system so it is a very tricky thing to work on.
As you can see from the screenshots if you try to add it from the settings menu you will only have 5 options. If you look at the preview screen you can see my 6 apps and that I'm able to shuffle them around.
Thanks, I applied this mod to the rom I'm using the No-NaMe ROM!! And it's working flawlessly. Keep them coming.
Just wondering if you can get this mod to work on the other second screens such as recent or contacts.
Works great. Hope this is a gateway to other mods for the second screen.

Everything.. App shortcuts, signature, second screen apk, build prop, system ui, framework res, and the stock launcher. It's pretty much incorporated into every major aspect of the system somewhere.
I was thinking that too becauae after I updated to xposed 79 I started having some issues too..

I wonder if the settings menu can be modified to fit the extra shortcut as well. Also I wonder what other things could be done with the second screen. Seems to me like the default features are somewhat limited. What I would like to see is functioning widgets on the second screen.
Using apex launcher, if you tap and hold the background, you get a menu that pops up to add things to the home screen , if you select "shortcut" and then "activities" you get a list of all sorts of menus, many of the menu items aren't functional, seems there are a lot of settings and features that are included in the base Android version being used, and the features were removed, however the hidden menus for these features still exist through these "activities" shortcuts, many developer options can be accessed. For example there's a hidden menu to change notification LED settings, to change LED color etc, even though the v10 has no notification LED. There's a whole drop-down section for second screen, including a "background chooser". The background chooser opens up and lets you crop an image to the exact dimensions of the second screen, however when you apply the settings, nothing happens. It seems LG was in the process of developing further features but stopped... Maybe we can take the next step

Most likely some things will be implemented on the next v series phone. The code has been written just not intiated..
Why should we wait and hope it gets done on the next phone, and then spend all our money on it... Why not just initiate the code ourselves? If I had more coding knowledge, and a more structured chain of thought... Lol I have the processing power to figure this stuff out, just not enough ram..
Does anyone have the orig. apk or zip file. The Fav. App Tab disappeard and i need the original file t fix the issue.
