App Transitions & Internet Connection. - General Questions and Answers

Can someone please recommend me a program that can change app's transitions? I want the transitions where the apps come from the outer screen and moves to the center. I have tried Anim Mod but it doesn't have that transition.
And also, I've been trying to find a program that will force my wi-fi and data connections to stay on all the time. For some strange reason they keep shutting off randomly. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did you activate any battery saving features? You can use nova launcher as it provides custom fade animations.

Nope. I have Power Saver turned off. I'll try Nova Launcher. Thanks.
Edit:
Wow! I've tried many launchers in my day but never one as polished as this! Thanks for recommending Nova Launcher! Now if I could only figure out why my wi-fi and data connections keep turning off and why certain apps like Flixter, eBay, Gmail, etc. refuse to connect to the internet.

I hope so... It's the one thing I miss from my Sense rom! (running Froyo now)
Will you need a custom launcher for them to work?
I get an "Unable to connect to the SNG server" and "Unable to update feeds" CONSTANTLY with Socialite.
It makes this widget completely and utterly useless.
Does anyone know of a fix for these?

I can connect but can't get to settings i get a FC. I'm running CM5.0.8T5 it was the same on stock Froyo.
It looks like a great app i would use it if i didn't get FC
yeah, socialite is a broken POS. And the new scrolling widget feature in ADW launcher looks promising! So you can use pure messenger widget, which has scrolling enabled! Not perfect, but close as you gonna get!

[Q] Quick Access to Hotspot Config?

Does anyone know of a way to provide a shortcut for direct access to the SK4G hotspot setup? There doesn't appear to be a shortcut available in the jump key configuration, and I haven't been able to find an app that does it. I would like to make it easier for my gf to turn the hotspot on/off so she's more comfortable getting rid of her CLEAR USB adapter. I really can't recommend that she leave it on all the time due to the battery comsumption by that feature.

Not sure what launcher she uses, but you could do this in Launcher Pro with:
Create>Shortcut>Activites>Settings>Settings (com.android.settings.wifi.WifiApSettings), that'll give a shortcut to the settings screen for the Mobile AP

Thanks for that, but I'm trying to keep it simple and not make too many changes to her phone. Does anyone know a way to do it with the stock SK4G configuration? One of the strengths of this device is that it does so much without rooting and adding a lot of apps.

have you tried downloading Hotspot Widget from the market? you can place it on one of her homescreens and turn Mobile AP on and off that way, it's about as simple as it gets, just one on/off button

moto g 4.42 KitKat apps menu icons problem

Hi I have a problem with my 8gb moto g occasionally the apps disappear I can click somewhere on the screen and it will start that app but can't see anything.
Seems like that's a glitch with the launcher. Try switching to nova launcher or apex launcher (you can download them from google play). You'll get more features from them too.

You're welcome, it seems that the default firmware on the moto g has issues with transparency in general, because sometimes chrome graphically glitches like this too. Maybe try a custom rom like cyanogenmod if you get more issues.

Hi i'd like to try and keep the phone standard don't want to void the warranty by putting a custom ROM on there anyway I'm on nova launcher now it is working great love the resizable widgets, thanks so much for your help. This is a very strange problem my last phone was a Chinese dual sim phone the standard launcher on that worked perfect I suppose for the great price of this phone we can expect a few small issues.
Talking about transparency... I noticed it with incoming call contact image. It displays only half of the image and the part where are the buttons is black.

Hi i'd say the only solution if you don't want to install a different launcher is to wait for Motorola to release a software update. As for the home menu, you can change your default launcher with that and network operator just let's you automatically or manually select your operator.

[HOW TO] Set a custom launcher as default home application

Soon after I bought the fire HD6 I quickly realized that upon installing an alternative launcher, the device would not allow you to set that launcher as default. Today I figured out a way around this issue and put together a quick video showing all the steps. This tutorial should work for all Fire devices spanning from the Fire HD6 and HD7. Before going through the tutorial I suggest you get ADB set up and working on the computer for your Fire device. Enjoy!

Following this guide will make it so you cannot use the Amazon Book app. A way around this issue would be to side-load the Kindle app. But not any Kindle app, a hacked version I made with a different signature and package name. That way your device will allow the installation and will not downgrade each boot. Download the APK below to get your books working:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx_94ujbh0qobVBJbWFyVzNzeUU/view?usp=sharing
Now you will be able to access your books.
You're awesome! Thanks! :laugh::good:
This works great, thanks!

Thank You! This was driving me crazy
Since Amazon "upgraded" the OS to Fire 4.x.x this has been a problem.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Works for unrooted kindles as well.
Thank YOU!!!

Could you share what exactly you changed in the hacked Kindle app? AFAIK it's a pretty old version and I'd like to have a more recent one on my Kindle. Thanks a lot either way!

I basically just changed the package name and resigned it so that it will think it is a different app so it allows you to install it. I used apktool to decompile but had problems compiling till I removed some services from the Manifest file. I tried newer versions but could not get them to run without force closing.

I set up KK Launcher as my launcher but it cannot get it to rotate to landscape mode at all. Is this a problem with other launchers you guys are using or is it just me?

I use Apex and I can not get it to rotate either.
The best solution I've found so far is the app "Ultimate Rotation Control". It will allow you to manipulate the display as you see fit and even set parameters per app.

I believe this requires root.
I recently purchased a Fire HD 6 and this worked perfectly for me. Thank you for this. I chose to use Nova Launcher Prime as my default home launcher.

I forgot to revert to the stock dash before the last update (yesterday) and now I don't have ADB access. It just shows the device as 'offline' so I can't get it back to the stock dash and it's stuck at the Fire loading screen. It's the same in Windows/Ubuntu. Just a notice for anyone else to undo the custom dash before proceeding with the update.

oh god, you scared the **** out of me for a second - I had gotten the update but had never used adb since then. tried just now, and ... nothing.
but! then I remembered, I had turned adb off on the HD, lol. turned it on and all is well.
I am running Nova launcher, and have the real launcher permanently blocked, along with a few other things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58360063&postcount=5
maybe your problem is something else? (or hopefully, maybe like me, just pilot error and usb debugging was turned off.)
I don't remember turning debugging off. I wouldn't have had any reason to disable it. I just assumed it was reset by the update. Either way, I had to do a factory reset to get it working again. To be honest, the custom dash was mostly a novelty. I'm happy enough with stock. Being able to use Google apps is all I'm worried about.
No body else appears to have mention having problems making widgets on your home screen. Every time I place a new widget it, just takes me to the main setting screen and on going back home there is no new widget.
I have been assuming that this is something else that requires root, but I thought I'd better check.
Thanks for kindlehack.apkill give it a try, ps use nova beta for wallpaper

Question How can I remove this from home Screen?

Wondering if someone can please help me to remove this circle area. I don't really want that on home screen. I could rather use widget.
It is not possible without root or another launcher.

Yes you can, this has been posted and explained here before not too long ago. You need to be rooted and if I'm correct use the xposed framework

As an alternative, you can just set up another home screen without At A Glance.
Lawnchair or nova your best bet
I used Niagara for a couple of days and paid for the full version this morning. Love the 'empty' screen!
Please tell me how to remove this information from the locked screen? a flashlight also appears instead of the date ((very annoying. There are no lock screen settings in AOSP.

Are you using a Pixel 7?
Your best bet for fixing the flashlight issue is to probably install a Pixel Launcher, stock or modded and customize your At A Glance settings. As for the lock screen weather, not so sure you can turn that one off.

I installed the standard pixel, turned off everything that was possible, the flashlight disappeared, but I can’t remove the date and weather. phone pixel 7 pro
Home Settings >> At a Glance >> See more features >> Disable Weather.
Unfortunately, I am not sure how to remove the date. My apologies there.

It was the same on my 4XL. It's nuts that they put that on the homescreen. Every morning when I turn the phone on, I have to swipe left to get to the homescreen I want to use. I don't want to root, or change the launcher. Back in the day, I was able to choose the homescreen page I wanted.
