A recent update to Nova Launcher added a new feature for Nova Launcher Prime users - swipe actions on Icons. What this means is that you can set any icon to perform a different behavior if you swipe up on it.
To configure an Icon:
Long Press on the Icon
Select "Edit"
Change the "Swipe Action" to whatever you want it to be (another app, an Activity, etc.)
For example, I just modified my dock in the following way:
Tapping the "Foursquare" icon in the dock opens Foursquare normally. Swiping up on the icon automatically takes me to the Check In activity
Tapping the "Dolphin Browser" icon in the dock opens Dolphin Browser. Swiping up on the icon opens Chrome.
Tapping the "Maps" icon in the dock opens Maps. Swiping up on the icon opens Navigation
I made a quick video to illustrate:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifshfRetOsU
Those are just some ideas I had right out of the gate. Please feel free to share your own!
PS -
I also love Nova's new "Alphabetical List"-style app drawer. Good stuff!
loving this feature. i use it to swipe up on my xscope browser to open up floating browser
Great idea for the swipe. How to configure the size of the icon btw?
Aw man... this means I have to change all my Simple Text widgets into App shortcuts to use the new swipe feature. oh well...
Excellent feature, I love Nova Launcher. Question though are all apps available to link to, I would like to assign a swipe gesture to create a new text message but cannot see the Option, any ideas?

the closest thing you can do is set a swipe gesture to open the messaging app or set it to a direct message to someone in particular.
Use Nova Activities

When selecting a swipe action, choose the 'Shortcuts' tab, then under 'Activities' (which is at the top of the list with a Nova icon), then tap on Messaging to expand it and you should find an activity called 'Messaging ui.ConversationComposer' - this allows you to assign a swipe gesture to create a new text message.
There seems to be hundreds of activities under all of my various applications within this menu and I don't understand most of them. I would love to hear anybody else's experiences with these swipe gestures/activities..
Hi this is my first post i already love this forum
And the Nova launcher was a great idea
Also I love the feature that you can choose to tap to open an app and swipe to open the folder. I use for the various cam apps folder, and when tapped it's just sense camera, awesome

They scored this from the Motorola Atrix HD. Glad I can now put this feature on my One X as well

I've been loving this. here are mine
App > Swipe app
G+ > g messenger
Facebook > FB Messenger
Foursquare > FS Check in
Reddit > Chant
Twitter > Twitter search
Dragon > soundhound
Phone > contacts
Messaging > snapchat
camera > gallery
Gmail > compose
Browser > downloads
Music player > Music downloader
these are all in my dock and usually i do something with my fantasy hockey app swiping to pull up another fantasy app or soemthing
This is awesome! The are so many similar apps and actions that you'd launch differently..this makes so much sense like
Camera - Quickpic
Gmail - Talk
Maps - Nav
Fb - fb messenger (already mentioned)
Walkman - songza
Etc.
Thanks for the heads up!

gr8! i was exactly looking for this! thx.
is there a list of actions existing? would love to have a direct redial of last number via swiping the phone button...
How did you do it?
How do you make a shortcut open a folder on swipe?

That "direct messaging" option seems to have been removed. I have NL Prime and tried to have that option again but it's not even available. Just Direct Call.

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

Tried a lot of launchers but settled on this as this is the most well performing launcher and has all the required features without addition of anything extra that would make it slow. Kudos to the developer.

Loving your launcher, but just had this one-time crash [see attchd from Scoop app].
Only sending this for your information; I'm not really concerned at this time.
Thanks!
Hii,
I recently installed this launcher and its working absolutely fine.
But there is one issue if i long press on an icon and click on edit button the launcher crashes.
2. Can you please add search bar animation i want to say same animation as pixel 2 launcher when you tap on search bar.
