Hello.
I have a request for a skilled developer.
I want a simple app,which forces to reload the TouchWiz panels.
I am using some older widgets,which sometimes doesn't simply load at startup,so I want to restart the homescreen as an another attempt.
I must everytime to remove the widget from panel and put it again in case it will work after startup,what is annoying.
Can please someone do it for me,or recommend me some similar solution please?
Just empty the RAM in the Task Manager App, the Homescreen will build up again after that.
Just be sure to not exclude the launcher from the task to kill

Hi there, to achieve it, you have to do these;
1. Press Menu
2. Go to Setting
3. Go to Applications
4. Go to Manage Applications
5. Select the launcher you want to clear the default.
6. Press the setting that says "clear default".
7. Press the home key and you will be presented with a pop-up menu to select which launcher you want to use.
8. If you tick set as default while in the pop-up.menu, the next time you press the home key, you will go straight to that launcher.
9. If you didn't tick the set as default, you will be presented pop-up menu everytime you press the home key.
Please try and post feedback.
Regards and TQ,
Morisa

Legend thanks very much.
Is there any way to alter touchwiz in a similar fashion to ADW or GO?
Like extra columns / rows etc?

Hi senectus,
I didn't use TouchWiz and am sorry for not be able to assist you there. I am on Go Launcher. I like it and suit my needs.

TW isnt as customizable as any third party launcher...
what i always do after installing my preferred Launcher is to freeze the TW via Titanium backup and then reboot...
That sounds interesting.
What's "freeze touchwiz" mean?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
you have to install titanium backup from the market, let it initialize then have it with root access, find the TWlauncher file from of isntalled apps, long press then choos
e "freeze"... why? so that it wont create conflict to the system specially when you have other launcher installed. if you want to revert back to stock Touchwiz, you can always unfreeze it...
Thats interesting.
I haven't heard of that before.
Do you think it would improve performance or battery life doing that?
What happens when you install the other launcher and tw is "frozen"?

Uninstalled I mean

another option is to try "AutoStarts" and prevent TWL from launching. i did that and it seems to be working (previously some apps still ask which launcher i want to open, despite setting the default one already)
AutoStarts also helps in stopping unwanted apps from starting at boot, even system ones (i hope this is what it does, and not just kills them, although i notice more ram after booting for a while than previously)
Sorry for a noob question. How can I launch clock in this device?
The best way is to have a widget on your home screen, that way it will be available all the time. You can also tap the all app icon and launch it from the app drawer.

Yes, we have widget for clock, but I mean here I want to see application "clock" listed in application list! Because in some other applications I want to link to "clock" when I touch somewhere on.
Are you saying you want to share something with Clock? I don´t think sharing is possible with the Clock app. If you want to join something, for examle an event, in another app to launch clock then Tasker is your best bet.

I want to explain such as: I have an app, and some functions in the app, one of them is touch to launch app, when I touch on the button, the list of all apps appear but not the "clock"!
Then it can't launch the clock....
Can't launch what isn't there.
Clock is a system app so it may be you require root access to get to it, however it seems the app you are using to start these other apps may not see the system apps so you still won't get it...

I need to figure this out as well. This is ridiculous, I want my lock screen actually locked, with ONE screen.. not swipe to the right for camera, and left to add a widget...
someone, anyone, please help.

The app is lock screen policy. But I was hoping for a different solution. However, the app does work fine. Found it about an hour ago
Thinking of installing Nova launcher when my phone ships, but was wondering if features like "OK Google.." and searching online for numbers within the phone app would still work?
Also, has anyone with a Nexus 5 found a way to hide apps in the app drawer you don't want there, or at least make a folder? I really want to use the stock launcher, and it baffles me Google leaves out basic functionality to sort and organize your apps... if anyone found a way please let me know, or if root can fix this somehow. Thanks.
You'd have to wait for Kevin to put similar features if he decides to assuming he can mimic the new launcher. I think the new launcher is closed source.. maybe we'll get a kernel soon with always listening

For hiding the apps part if you want to hide one of the stock apps you can simply disable it in the settings? (Settings > apps)

HaloShortcuts
Coincidently, there's another HaloShortcuts by @MainstreamStereotype that is similar to this one. :silly:
His has an additional feature and that is the ability to choose Activities within an App.
Please check his out also :good:
What?
A shortcut selector to add a shortcut in floating mode on homescreen or for apps that uses shortcut selector.
It adds a shortcut with the intent flag 0x00002000.
For?
For ROMs that make use of the intent flag 0x00002000.
Examples include Paranoid Android ROMs with Halo.
(This might work with OmniROM's MultiWindow but I need someone to confirm before I write it down. )
Downloads?
In Attachments. (Dates are in DDMMYY)
Backup Downloads from Google Drive
Open-source!
This module is open-source! Sources are found on my GitHub.
If you would like to help in the development, you may leave bug reports and development tips in this thread or (better still) fork and send pull requests
Screenshots?
works perfectly on my Galaxy S4-I9505, thanks
Works great on s2 with kitkat rom pound....

This app only makes shortcuts with the halo flag. It doesn't affect the launcher. It has probably been redrawing ALL the time but you only notice it now since it is floating and not fullscreen.
I never get redraws this app actually crashes my launcher so it has to restart and I only get this issue with this app

Is it the actual running of the app itself, or the launch of a halo shortcut created by this app... that is causing the redraw? What Launcher do you have and rom?
It happens when I launch an app from the shortcut I create with this app I use the sense 5 launcher on a HTC one x thanks for replying it's viper x Rom 4.0.6

First thing I would try is downloading an alternative free launcher eg Go Launcher. Install, and do a quick test to see if a new Halo shortcut causes the same issue. Should take 5 minutes. Then if you still have the issue, then it's probably rom related. BTW, do you have any other rom features enabled that might be interfering? (eg Multi Window or something like that)
No nothing that would interfere although the room is heavily modded but floatifications works fine and open halo from notification also works I do get an occasional fc though had that problem since version 2.0 of xhalo appsi also works ok I don't really want a different launcher because of BlinkFeed but for trying purposes Ill try thanks for replying

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!
I hope the thanks received from zst123 means this request has been added to some to do list out there?
edit : oh man, another thanks. Don't tease me...SAY SOMETHING! Or should I keep posting to accumulate thanks?
how to check intent flag?
works great in s3 omega rom when using it as a launcher icon, or through glovebox.. BUT if you want to use LMT launcher that doesnt support system shortcuts but support tasker... launching tasker task--> autoshortcut plugin --> haloshortcut... doesnt work.. the app opens in fullscreen
Hey guys,
I posted this twice on Disqus on the XDA News Commenting but somehow it didn't show (internet failure?) and I'm typing this again.
I'm really lazy to retype, so in short, I created this in Sept in my XHFW thread in this post's attachments
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45669212&postcount=476
A few weeks ago, I improved it and posted it in this thread. However, a recently I saw this post on Google+
https://plus.google.com/117734680838440546478/posts/cbXCgnjTAwj
where Matthias Bidlingmeyer had created a similar app with similar name. That is is better than mine in the sense that it has the ability to choose individual activity for the chosen app. It coincidently was posted a few days before my thread was opened. I didnt't know it existed and of course didn't copy it. I hope this would clear things up before the "you copied me" fight starts. If I had known it existed, wouldn't you think I would also implement individual activity support? The other dev does deserve credit. This is purely just a coincidence (sadly)...
Great app

Works great on omnirom 4.4.2 for Nexus 10 (Tempest ROM omni-4.4-20131218-manta-TEMPEST )
It's not better if it doesn't do shortcuts. Seriously, how many here understand what each activity in each app does?

It has to do with the way the plugin handles the created shortcut. So I can't really help you in this

There is only one flag that is added and that is the halo flag. What flag are you trying to check?

See the attachments for a screenshot of his app. For example you could create a shortcut to go directly to the WifiSettings instead of the main Settings page when you have to do one extra step. An Activity is the proper Android term for a "page" (not really a page but I can't think of a better word)
