Does anyone know where the settings are for this? I have a strange situation where I have another two rows of icons to launch programs from, but I can't assign anything to them. I want to delete them but I can't do that either. Is there a text file (or similar) anywhere where it saves the shortcut info so I can try and delete from there.
Thanks!

Ok, so I'm using ADW now, and I'm loving it. The only question I have is not necessarily concerning ADW, but the action buttons... Is it possible to not have an application assigned to one, but like a mini app drawer, with specified contents? So for instance, I click on one, and it shows all my various social apps (Text Messaging, Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo mail, etc). Anyone aware of anything like this?
You could try Advanced Launcher Lite. You can't put it on the dockbar, but it does create a widget that you can add the apps you want to each category.

have you tried to create a folder, put stuff in folder, and drag it down to the bar?
Hey guys,
got a question which may relate to a few different apps/settings - so i wasnt sure where to post it.
but im wondering if this is possible - i would like to create a text widget using 'Minimalistic Text' and put it on my lock screen (Widget Locker) - but only have this specific widget display when i have an unread sms in my inbox. I thought this might be possible with the app 'Tasker', but ive had no luck.
So if anyone has the know-how on setting this up, any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks guys.
Stock email app does not work for my work email, so I am using another third party email app. problem is the icon does not fit into my theme. The stock email app icon does. I could replace the icon in the app drawable but when I change theme it does not change with the theme.
So my question is, in the maifest file is there a way to point "android:icon" to some thing like "android.email.icon" instead of default @drawable/icon.png. I would appreciate any other suggestions if it is not possible.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi,
The Halo multiwindow feature from ParanoidAndroid allows the System to open up any app in a floating window. However there are few alternative ways to launch an app in the multiwindow except for the original Halo bubble.
For people using tools like sidebars or similar applications, there's no option to do that.
That's why I developed the app HaloShortcut. My app allows you to create a shortcut that opens every app in the floating window provided by the Halo feature.
There's an app with similar functions called HaloShortcuts, which you should definitely try out. It comes with an additional search feature and most importantly, it's open source,
HaloShortcuts:
Provides a shortcut for every app/activity that will then start in a multiwindow
The Blacklist feature allows you to control whether an app starts in multi window depending on the currently used app
Doesn't appear in your home launcher nor does it run in the background at any moment
NEW Feature:
(Also works with the XHaloFloatingWindow XPosed extension)
Further information about the Halo project:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/paranoid-android-team-open-sources-halo/
Changelog;
Version 3.2: Fixed Blacklist
Version 3.0: Complete new UI and added Blacklist Feature
Version 2.1: Shortcut labels now show correct name
Version 2.0: Shortcut support
Version 1.0: First release

Very cool, very handy. Thank you.
Good good , thanks

Is it possible to update this app to create shortcuts that point to "Shortcuts" in Android as well instead of just app shortcuts?
You know, the screen when u long press on the launcher and you get this page to create direct shortcuts to contacts, bookmarks, gmail labels etc.
Because it would be handy to create shortcuts that link to specific functions inside apps instead of having to launch the apps in windows mode and then navigating to the required functions i.e. shortcut to a specific whatsapp contact, specific settings screen.
Do consider it, or if anyone has a solution do let me know, thanks!

Hey, I implemented the requested feature, thanks for the support :good:
Hi , this app somehow is not working on my Xperia Z, running android 4.3
i cant see the app icon ANYWHERE in the phone, so cannot create a halo shortcut.
i tried the other halo shortcut you suggested at #1, that one only creates a shortcut on the home screen, so that's not too useful (i want to create a halo shortcut on notification bar)
Thanks
Works great! Thank you!
I like it! Great app

Hey, this app won't show up in any launcher, because that wouldn't make sense at all. But you should be able to access it from a popup dialog whenever you want to add a shortcut to something.
So in your app that makes the notification bar shortcuts, you have to select shortcuts and than select "HaloShortcut".
If you still have problems, tell me the name of the app that you are using and i'll see how to get it done

Hi,I've finally found the option, it is under "Bookmark" (not "App") when creating the halo shortcuts.
It is working if i create a desktop shortcut to open app with halo, but currently it doesn't work with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.nicolai.buch.andersen.ns&hl=en
which i try to add the halo shortcut to the notification bar, the app opens as normal.
Thanks
sorry

Hey, I tried the app and for me it worked flawlessly, so I can't tell you what the problem is
(I use the xposed halo module)
great work:good::good::good::good:
Works good for me so far with xHalo. All the possibilities are great. Thanks for the app.
Thanks fot your app.
But it doesnt work with XHFW3. (Xhalofloating window 3.16)
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.zst.xposed.halo.floatingwindow3
XHFW3 works with Android6.
Could you make it suitable with XHFW3?
Thank you.
