[Q] Can Mini Apps be edited/changed?

Hello All,
Just a quick question... can the mini apps at the bottom be changed to use other apps? I called Sammy tech support and they said I'd have to check w/Google since it's built into the ICS OS. I find this odd because I've checked other tabs at Worst (Best) Buy and they didn't have this mini-app tray.
I want to use other apps in its place. I wonder why when you view the mini apps you'll see an "edit" icon, however, when you click on it, everything is greyed out so you cannot edit or switch-out the mini-apps.
Thanks!

I believe this is a TouchWiz feature, and my understanding is that you cannot use other apps. Only the ones provided by Samsung.

Thanks, but then why does it have an EDIT button? Just curious.

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that lets you add and remove the existing quick apps. Also, it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone could develop a quick app and it would appear, but I bet there isn't a whole bunch of people building these quick apps.

+1. I think your take on this is as accurate as it can get.

Give Apex launcher a try if you dislike touchwiz. I can't stand touchwiz.

Mini Apps is built into the status bar, not the launcher. it will always be there.

Hate it...i wish i could get rid of the miniapps, sometimes it pressed accidentally and bug my gaming time

If Olny some1 develope mini app for the notes that would be great for ppl who read and like to write quick notes, If Only....

install gmd gesturecontrol to hide the status bar
You wont press any mini apps accidently then. Also when you press edit you double click on a mini app to add/remove it.

You can remove them, they annoyed me so I got rid by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692173
Obviously make a back-up before deleting the suggested files if you feel you may want thm back at some point (not that I did )!

[QUICK CIRCLE APP] Quick Circle Notifications

Hi,
I made an app to check notifications in the quick circle: "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zsoltmester.qcn".
It is makes your case more useful. Feel free to send me a feedback!
Regards,
ZS

Thanks
It's more comfortable than notifications on "Quick Circle Apps"
I like it and I can wait for new features (swipe for delete, double tap...)
Good work !

It says it's incompatible with your device, I have D852 with cloudy

Says incompatible for me as well. Stock rooted 851.

Stock LG G3 D852 shows incompatible.
Thx

I cannot access your app in my play store.
Please share the apk file !

Currently support only 5.0. Maybe that is the problem?
I working on the kit kat version, i will post when it is done.
Or play store said incompatibility with 5.0?

Looks very nice!
You can use it for swipe to dismiss: https://github.com/krossovochkin/Android-SwipeToDismiss-RecyclerView

Thx! Looks useful.

Bump. Will there ever be support for kit kat? I'm really trying to get as much Quick Circle apps on my phone as possible, and this will be a great addition to it.

How can it be uninstalled?
I installed but it doesn't allow me to uninstall it.
Frankly the fact really bothers me that I cannot control this app myself.
Please let me know how to uninstall it or I have to do factory reset.

Go to Settings / Security / Phone administrators and deactive the app. Then you can uninstall it.
The permission is required for the double tap feature.

Thank you.

Thank you for this app. At the moment, I need to doubletap and swipe the clock away to open the notifications. Is it possible to wake the device and show the notification instantly in the circle, if one is received ?

need apk please... can't test because its say ... not compatible -_-

Is this a no longer being supported? I'm currently using LG g4 and it works great just wish we had swipe to delete and tap to open the notification's app.

Enable Themes on the H900 (AT&T)

I think this should work for the Verizon model as well because I learned how to do it via a thread for the Verizon G4.
As some of you might have noticed the Att model doesn't seem to have themes available for the LG launcher via the LG smartworld app like the T Mobile model does. Here is a trick to be able to get the theme menu to show up.
First install LG smartworld from here:
www.lgworld.com
(You may need to allow installation of apps from unknown sources in your phone's settings menu.)
Download whichever theme(s) you want to try out.
Then, install Any shortcut from the play store from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oboenikui.anyshortcut&hl=en
Put a shortcut for the anyshortcut app on your desktop and launch it.
Set a new shortcut with these specifics:
Application:
com.lge.launcher2
Activity:
com.lge.launcher2.theme.LGThemeChooserActivity
(The other fields can be left blank.)
Hit create and go back to your desktop. You should see a new shortcut icon with the generic android logo. Click it and you should be able to apply any of the themes you downloaded from the LG smartworld app.
Give it a try. Hit thanks if this helped you.
Also if someone could verify that it will work for verizon, I'm sure others would appreciate it. Enjoy.

Application Not Installed
I followed the instructions you provided and the shortcut I created only produced an error stating the application was not installed. LG Smart World is fully installed as well. Ant ideas would be appreciated.

I'm gonna give this a shot but what if been doing (if it helps).. If you have a g4 or g3...use that and apply the theme you want.. Go to settings and do a back up of your home screen. Take the g4 or 3..hook it up to your computer and drop the back up folder on your desktop. Then plug in the v10 and drop that folder you backed up from your g4 or g3 to your v10. Then on the v10 go to settings and apply the back up and viola. Your theme is applied.. If you have any key board themes they work as well.. Hope it helps..

Only tiny issue I had was to correct the typo and spell "activity" not copy "activty" which I tried first and I came up with the same "app not installed" error. After correct spelling it works like a charm.

Permission Denied on AT&T V10. Idiotic restriction.

Worked like a charm on my AT&T v10 as well. Thank you very much for this. Themes the quick launch icons as well.

Bluetooth application sender
Hi, I just sent the LG Smart Word from my wife LG G4 Stylo to my non root LG V10 AT&T H900 ; and it works since the first time. I hope it works for any of you.

YES!! It worked for my LG V10 (H900) and now I have the ability to access all the themes I wanted to apply to my phone. I would like to know why this isn't available for all the phones? It's a great personalization feature that many enjoy and I think its ridiculous that we have to go searching for answers on how to apply such a thing. Thankfully, we have people like you that provide those answers--THANK YOU =)

Can we change the notification area? To look like the G5? WE should have got the new UI like the G5 through update

SUMMARY
adityak1303 said:
OK so I've flashed the latest build and here are the improvements over the previous build:
1) ROM is much smoother and more responsive. RAM management also seems better.
2) Camera works now. Although you still can't record videos using the default camera, footej camera works fine.
3) Flashlight also works. No problems there.
4) Moto gestures are added and work without any hiccups. They are under system>gestures.
5) Ambient display works as it did in Lineage 14. Display lights up when notifications arrive or when you wave your hand over the proximity sensor or when you just pick up your phone.
6) Alarms work now. Alarm wakes up the screen and works fine.
7) The battery charging LED is off by default.
8) For Root, I flashed Magisk v14. It rooted the device properly but Safety Net test failed.
Some other things I noticed:
1) When ambient display turns on, you have to double tap the screen to get to your lockscreen. It was a single tap on Lineage 14.
2) There is no menu to assign custom long-press and single tap actions to navbar buttons. Navbar tuner/editor is not available. Although you can add a few extra buttons to navbar if you enable the System UI tuner.
3) Also I couldn't find the gesture to enable double tap on status bar to sleep.
4) AOSP keyboard stays on screen if you're typing and hit the home button. It does go away by pressing back or home again.
5) Memory usage is under Developer Options.

I found a key code to turn off screen - It's a 26
first of all you need to turn on system UI tuner by following below steps :-
1. Pull down the status bar
2. See the ‘Settings’ cogwheel at the right hand corner? Tap and hold on it for around 10 seconds.
3. Once you let go after 10 seconds, you’ll be taken straight to the Settings app with a prompt saying that System UI Tuner has been enabled.
Now go to settings - system - system UI tuner - navigation bar - Extra left button type / extra right button type - choose a option keycode - enter a value in left keycode / right keycode '26' - choose any icon for left icon / right icon - that's it..

as you opened this nice Q&A thread, i would recommend to add some info or workarounds like for: how to root, how to enable notification dots,not working list may etc on OP. so we can send ppl here if they ask. i can write those up if u want,. like this:

Actually i have read somewhere that round icon is only for pixel device.. sory if my info is wrng.. because for round icon need to work around on framework-res.apk
Have u installed latest pixel launcher which u will found on apk miror... And install as system app.. if not then just give a try..
Edit. Sry ya this is available for all with 5 new icon default, square, rounded square, squricle and teardrop...
So my suggestion install latest pixel launcher from apk mirrror or pixel oreo dup file..
And on launcher settings u will get this feature..

You dont need pixel luncher for round icons.. you can have round with default rom luncher..
Also thansk for google Assistant..i was thinking to use magisk module or some apps for playstore bit your way is easyer and faster

I went back to another rom for now because of the charging light staying on. No app from the play store working with this rom. Had this issue on another rom and the dev wrote a script that you can flash to disable. Got to be a way to rid it until option put in rom. Sorry if I sound like it's a big deal. For me it's a deal breaker. This rom and developer is so good, I can wait for it. ?

Search this app on play store " Moto LED for moto X & E"
I am using it and it works totally fine but make sure you have root access.

as you opened this nice Q&A thread, i would recommend to add some info or workarounds like for: how to root, how to enable notification dots,not working list may etc on OP. so we can send ppl here if they ask. i can write those up if u want,. like this:
Q: how to enable Google Assistant on 1Gb RAM osprey?
A: just open build.prop from /system & at the very bottom add this line "ro.opa.eligible_device=true" make sure the last line is a blank one. save & reboot

This is a great idea - I added 2 to post2 of this thread but if that is not what you had in mind or you have a better idea, holler. This is not locked in stone. I am not the all-controller.

I suggest you use blackmart app as an alternative to play store until its fixed. Just search on google blackmart apk. @melp57

Actually i have read somewhere that round icon is only for pixel device.. sory if my info is wrng.. because for round icon need to work around on framework-res.apk
Have u installed latest pixel launcher which u will found on apk miror... And install as system app.. if not then just give a try..
Edit. Sry ya this is available for all with 5 new icon default, square, rounded square, squricle and teardrop...
So my suggestion install latest pixel launcher from apk mirrror or pixel oreo dup file..
And on launcher settings u will get this feature..

added note to this in post 2 and huge thanks as I think this is a biggie for many folks!

pixel 3 modded launcher

Can't live without the pixel launcher no more, and the speed it adds to the p20 pro is superb.
Have been through pretty much every launcher and this adds to a better user experience.
The version i'm using is P-4623511 -modded-5.2.0
New themeable launcher here.

Doesn't work. Crashes every time for me.

Oh crap really! Hmmm I'll see if I can find the original, I've got a titanium back up if it on my phone, are you rooted? It's working for me, same version etc.

Sorry pal, I'll have a look tomorrow for you.
Let me know if you want the titanium restore file.

Try this one mate

Updated op

use 5.3 versiom, it works smooth till now, do you feel any improvements in battery life?
Any tips and tricks you recommend for this launcher?

New launcher now in OP
New features:
Theming
Gestures
Optimisations
+More

@justbeck
I'd say use swap torpedo to eliminate system lag in general.

You have to manually give all permissions before opening for the fist time.
Strange Huawei bug with many custom launchers it would seem.

Do it need root, or is there a roothles version

The link in the op works on non rooted handsets (it did on mine anyway!)
Be sure to give the app all available permissions BEFORE you run it for the first time or it will crash.

I didn't have to do anything tbh.
And that's correct. You don't need root.
Lol @ your avatar, love that guy.

How are you guys getting this to work? I installed Launcher3-aosp-optimized.apk then updated the permissions but I can't run it. I would have expected to just press the home button and it would ask which launcher I want to use but that doesn't happen.

In the settings app search for 'Default Apps' then select Launcher3 from the 'Launcher' option.
