Hello!
I want to know if there is any way to replace the radio shortcut with video player shortcut in the Car app Sense 4.0??
Also can we use another navigation app than google map?
Google map needs constant internet connection
Wonder that too, i can only change the navigation app,
How did you change the navigation shortcut?

Would it be possible to make the android system use a certain keyboard depending on the app? It could use what ever keyboard was last open in that app.
I ask because i love swype for texting and astrid but, it is horrible for market and such.
So I use Pandora a lot during work. I would like to have a lockscreen widget that would allow me to forward/pause so that I don't have to unlock the phone etc.
I saw an app called Widget Locker that seems to be able to add widgets. Are there any other mods or apps??
I was also thinking about rooting and wasn't sure if any Rom's would give me that functionality.
Thanks in advance!!
I'd like the same, but for spotify.

There are a number of lockscreen apps, Widget Locker is the one I used. Just about any of them support widgets.
I've just disabled though because I don't want to install yet another app for email/SMS counts and WL requires one. The problem I find with Android is that the more you try to replace the manufacturer's UI with better stuff, the buggier it gets. I set up Tasker routines to renable Widget Locker when getting out of my car (because you don't want your lockscreen coming on when you turn off the screen in a car dock), and ever since, Google Music doesn't instantly stop playing when I pull the headphone plug. Too much going on, I figure, so I just disabled Widget Locker and so far so good.
A ROM might, depends on the ROM.
The price of all our freedom is...lack of polish and bugginess.
I use Widget Locker with another widget called Media Buttons. Media Buttons will allow you to control any/most music players. So what you got to do is, with your phone unlocked, launch Pandora and once the music starts playing lock the phone. The MB widget on your lock screen will now control Pandora. Follow the same process for other players on your phone.

Hello, I am currently customising my nexus 7 car install. I have been using Digital car for a while and found it useful but clunky. All of the other car ones either look horrible or don't work very well in a car. So I thought I would just make my own custom homescreen, With the customisation available to android I assumed this would be easy. I would have satnav open on the left screen, Google play music open on the right screen and in the middle would be my selection of widgets and app shortcuts so that I could simply swipe between these 3 screens and access all the information I need while driving.. But I have been searching for 3 hours and can not find a way to put apps onto my homescreen. I am not talking about an app icon, that is not an app, it is just a shortcut to an app. I need my satnav app to be open on the left screen just like blinkfeed is always open on an HTC, or how flipboard is always open on the newer samsungs. Then I can simply do the same thing with my music app on the right screen. If anyone knows of a solution I would be very happy, thanks in advance. Ryan.
Hi!
I am wondering if it would be possible to launch a specific app by clicking on a widget that is from a different app?
IE I like the weather widget from one app but like the actual app layout from another one.
Thanks!!
I have a rooted nexus 6p with Xposed installed.
Hi,
Is there any way to personalize the lockscreen (withou installing a new lockscreen app)?
I'm having issues with the meteorology app, beacuse it is always requesting GPS.
Or is there a way to stop the meteorology app from using GPS and just use a city choose by me?
I don't want it accessing the GPS all the time. I've already took it away from the homescreen but I haven't found a way to take it from the lockscreen.
Question 1, no not without installing another launcher. The icons on the LockScreen are the ones on the Dock.
Question 2, I would check in the Meterology App Settings, something along the lines of Location, Default home or something like that. Hard to tell when no one knows exactly which app you are referring to. Most likely look in Settings.
Hi,
Thanks for the answer and sorry for not being explicit.
I was talking about the weather app that comes with the phone.
If I add a new widget from that app to the homescreen I can choose a specific city but the widget on the lockscreen keeps updating using GPS.
If i use another weather app on the homescreen, the one on the lockscreen will not change and it will still be the one that came with the phone.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically the same applies. Go into Weather app, Menu(3 dots), Settings and unclick Auto detect my location.
It was the first thing I did!
