UCCW and GO Launcher Shortcuts - General Questions and Answers

Good day,
I am trying to create some new designs for UCCW but I've found the UCCW doesn't show the GO Launcher shortcuts as an option for a hotspot. This means I can't create a hotspot that opens the app drawer.
I read a possible solution was to use transparent Desktop VisualizeR widgets. However, that only works if the Launcher allows you to overlap widgets. I have been unable to find this option in the GO Launcher.
Other than switching launchers, is there another solution? Would the Popup Widget be suitable?
Many thanks.

[Q] App for Launching App Drawer (w/o using rosie)

Does anyone know of an app that can launch your app drawer?
Ive tried Desktop Visualizer, but it doesnt give me the option to launch the app drawer. i can only do it using the rosie.
I wanted to know if i could basically create an icon on a home screen to launch the drawer so i could use a completely hidden rosie.

Launcher pro or adw launcher can do this.

Yup! Just long press and add a "Launcher Action"... They will let you customise the icon as well
I prefer ADWLauncher EX the paid version

where do i long press? im using LPP and desktop visualizer but i still cant figure out how to use an icon to launch the app drawer
On an empty space on one of your home screens... as it you would add a widget or a shortcut.
Works fine on ADW Launcher Pro.

still no luck. i dont see where LPP or DV gives me the option to add a 'launcher action'
when i long press the homescreen, i get the standard Shortcuts, Widgets, LPP Widgets, Folders, and Wallpapers
where do i go from here?

Launcher actions are shortcuts I think.

I assume you need the ADW launcher for the extra options.

In adw just press and hold the launcher icon on the bottom bar and drag it up to the screen

If you have LPP or ADW you don't need DV...
I think LauncherPro you would: long press home screen / add shortcut / actions / launcherPro / LauncherPro (app list in small type)
Hope that helps.
Though it is not really the "App drawer" its just a list... ADW actually gives you far more customisable options. Try the free one first if you like

In Launcher Pro, keep your finger down on one of the mi ddle buttons on each dock. It will say Edit dock shortcut.
goto change shortcut --> App Drawer.
Done

Sorry, ignore me, I see what you're trying to do. I'm not sure LP can do this. I can;t see an activity which replicates opening the app drawer. You might ask the developer. He's pretty good at responding.
I have your answer.
Adw.
Search settings for hide bottom dock.
Search settings. Use swipe up gesture for app drawer.
Done
I think I'm having the same problem here.
I was trying to launch the app drawer from the homescreen, not from the dock, but LPP doesn't have that option or perhaps I just don't know how to do it?
Using DV also doesn't help.
Any ideas?

remove icon labels/names?

Is there an App or widget that would allow me to remove icon labels/names?
Haven't rooted yet so just running a stock Rom.
you can use desktop visualizer and keep shortcuts of your desired apps on the homescreen and you can remove the labels/names .....
In 3rd party launchers like ADW and Launcher Pro the option to hide app labels is there.
But if you really want to keep stock launcher I guess you could use Desktop. Visualizer to add a shortcut to the app and clear the label then use the icon from that app but it comes out a bit stretched out, unless you have custom icons in a higher resolution.

Bettercut will do that for you too.
GO Launcher EX has this option as well.

Thanks for the replies.
Go Launcher works perfectly.

[Q] Hide the application labels?

Hello,
I've been searching for some time now a way to hide the label of the applications on the homescreens.
Do you know is there is a mod; an application (I haven't found it in Leedroid Tweaks) or standard option that could allow this feature?
Thanks for your answers!
Depends on the launcher you are using. In Nova launcher gp Nova settings >desktop >Icon label; for hiding the labels of the app shortcuts in the home screen

Download Desktop Visualizer from the Play Store and recreate all your app shortcuts using that. It will allow you to make a custom launcher for an application (can just keep using the same icon) and not use a label. It's free.
Thanks for your answers!
I'm using Sense 3.6. So maybe it's available for Sense and I just didn't see it...
I'll take a look at Desktop Visualizer.

[Q] Touchwiz Home Weather/Clock Widget

Is there a way to use the default home weather/clock widget with another launcher? Every time I try to add it, it doesn't show up in the list of available widgets. I want to use it with Nova Launcher.

Can I get the default pixel date/weather widget in Nova launcher?

I really like the Date and weather widget that comes stock in the Google Launcher on the phone. However, I've switched to using Nova Launcher because I like a couple of its features better. Is there any way I can get that widget on my homescreen?
Thanks!

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wangdaye.com.geometricweather and select the oreo widget in that
Guys, try this one, its called chronus (Google Play store). Its free, I just bought weather icons for 1 $. I dont know why, but I cant attach screenshot... But its looks so much better then other apps.

Yes, it is built into the Nova settings. No need to download additional widgets. Just look for the Google search bar options and select the pixel style and enable weather display.
i would love to find the built in digital clock/date widget, i cannot find it in nova launcher, could you tell me how? i don't need the weather as a widget, just the time
