Just as the title states. Anybody aware of an app that does X10 home automation control? Would prefer something that allows customization of rooms, schedules, etc.

Only thing I've found is something called "autom8"

I dont think it exists yet.. but would love to make folders in my app drawer for categories. Games, System Stuff, etc.
Such animal exist? I can't find one.
Any way to develop one? Developers?
I have one of the home screens with 'Apps Organizer' folders which I find much easier to use than the app drawer since it is organized by app function. I even removed the launcher from the bottom of the screen since I don't need it. Functionally it is kind of like an iphone (I wasn't trying to emulate an iphone, just found it to be the most functional setup)
DxTop has this built it. It's one thing I miss about it after switching to ADW.
Alright, i really like the way the LG Optimus Z had the app drawer set up.

It is split up by media, downloaded, and communication.
Is there an app out there or something similar to this?
thanks.
Bump... anyway know of any app like this? Or home screen replacement?
The latest build of ADW.Launcher has the ability to categorize apps and then switch between the standard app drawer (showing all apps) and drawers showing only the apps of a category.
It's a new feature, and something the developer has some ideas to expand on when he gets time.
Hi, I am looking for a way to automatically freeze/defrost/launch an application but from the app drawer.
Titanium backup has a widget that performs exactly this way except that being a widget, it cannot be run from the app drawer.
I do not use items on the homescreen (aside from the dock), nor do I wish to. Currently using Apex lanucher.
So, the main questions are:
Is there a way to use widgets in the app drawer?
Is there a way to perform the function of Titanium Backup freeze/defrost/launch without a widget, yet more automated.
Is there a way to 'intercept' between the app icon and the launching process to auto freeze/defrost the app?
Have been searching for an answer to this for a long time. Ideally if this could be done with full automation, ie when you install a new app it automatically gets a freeze/defrost icon/link/widget/etc without having to set it up.
Any help, info, thoughts, would help immensely.
A bit of a bump as I'd be interested in this too.
There is likely a custom launcher that allows widgets in folders or the app drawer, no?
I have a sort of solution for you that sort of works (hear me out)
I guess you don'tl like the clutter that comes with homescreen widgets (me too)
Heres what i did: use nova launcher, and have multiple docks (swipe to change). You CAN place widgets (1x1 certainly) in the dock, and then just hide it away by swiping to a differnt dock.
I must admit it doesnt work amazingly well when you press it, and takes some time to work sometimes, but its kind of a work around.
I use this solution currently for my Wifi High Performance Widget (1x1), which doesnt need to be touched so its in the dock
Hope this helps
Does anyone know of a launcher app that will organize and re-organize your desktop by the way you use it? Maybe some AI, but I will maybe settle with reorganization based on usage. Like if I haven't used hangouts for a week it will demote that app and replace it with Whatsapp or what ever it is I am using most from that type/category of apps. Maybe it sees that whats app has become more important to me than hangouts and promotes it to the home page. It would be great if there was some AI that learned my habits. For example. Maybe it knows that I use UBER on Weekends to get home from bars, so after 10PM on weekdays it moves UBER to my home screen. There just has to be something better than static home screens with self managed folders all over the place.
There was a launcher that had something similar to what you're describing. You could set up multiple screen layouts and it would change depending on the situation (work, home, day, night etc).
Arrow Launcher and Yahoo! Aviate Launcher seem to such mechanics. Don't know how well they work in the real world though.
Forgive me, I haven't played with much Android customization beyond the options in Nova Launcher since my Skyrocket days, and I haven't done any coding since the late 80's in BASIC and tiny bit of PASCAL so compiling custom stuff isn't something I'm interested in. What I want is the look of minimalist launcher were I can control the name of the app, for example "Internet" for my browser, whichever it may be, and have a list of half a dozen similar text shortcuts on my home screen.
There are several minimalist launchers out there that have the look of what I want, but I cannot change the name of the app- the minimalist launchers which do allow me to change the name of the app have other crap on the screen (like the alphabet on the right hand side representing the app drawer) which I do not want. I'm thinking the simple solution here is for me to create a widget (shortcut) with a simple text icon and it just launches the app I link to it. And no, I haven't named any of the dozen or so of launchers I have been trying out of respect to the hard word the dev's put into them. Not trying to call anyone out here, just looking for a back door into my weird solution. I'd be perfectly happy with a simple launcher which allows app re-naming and text shortcuts, but I think the proper direction is a widget which just acts as an app shortcut.
Something like this:
Internet
Phone
Voicemail
Text
Internet
Navigation
And a simple swipe up for the rest of the app drawer. I am a very light user, I hate 'social media,' don't use my phone for video streaming or any of that stuff and will be running a de-Googled Nexus 5 on Oreo that will only leave my desk on those occasions which I foresee the need for an actual mobile device on my person that day.
Yeah yeah, my next cake day is the big Five-Oh. Shoot me.
