Hi folks,
I'm looking for an app where if I press a shortcut (from Pie specifically), it will bring up a bunch of pre-defined app shortcuts.
Simi folder works well, but the problem for me is that it positions itself oddly. Its fine if I launch it from the dock row of icons (which I actually want to replace) but because Pie is built into systemUI, it positions itself near the status bar.
I dont want something that swipes from the side of the screen or similar. I just want to press a button and have the icons pop up, preferably in a predefined location, but at least not at the top of the screen
This is what simifolder looks like (as launched from home screen)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which would be perfect, except the problem is if launched from Pie, its at the top of the screen, which is annoying.
Does anyone know of similar apps that would do this, launchable from a custom shortcut?
Did you already try out PopUp Widget?

Quite nice, maybe for you...

No but it does look good... I could make a nice UCCW widget for the apps I want to launch.
Open to other ideas too.

I prefer Zooper, but I am just in the first steps with popup widget. UCCW should work, too.

Put whatever icons you want to have as your dock icons onto your phone, long press the icon you want to change, select Custom Icon, navigate to the icon you want and select it.
Custom icon.

i dont think you understand, i want to customize the icons on my screens, not on my dock, this didnt really help but thanks for your effort! anyone else?
You'll have to re-add all icons, but instead of dragging the shortcut from the app drawer to the screen hit menu>add>shortcut>applications. Pick the app, then it gives you the option to change the icon.

Got to be honest, I thought this was wrong, but hey, you can!
Btw, maybe try 'Folder Organizer' and then you drop short cuts to folders on your screen instead of app shortcuts.

So is it possible to get on our Sense 3.0 ROMs that mod, I am sure it is possible, but are there any good soul that can port it ?
This is the mod I am talking about

Try Widgetsoid it has a ton of customizing features. That's what I use in my notification window. Works great little to no slow down when opening.
Yeah, but I want to have those in notification bar, not on homescreen

After you have created your widget, it is under "Advanced" and check the "Notification" box. That will hide it from your home screen and put it in your notification tray.

No problem! Glad I could help.
This is a thread for Motoactv users to post screenshots of their homescreens.
Make sure you give a little explanation of what widgets you have etc!

I'm on DP Rom, using Zeam launcher. The clock is a UCCW widget.
The 't' icon, is the Nook bluetooth tethering widget.
The only problem i have, is that when i turn my watch on, there is a split second delay for the UCCW widget to update to the correct time
No device should be without the mandatory "show your home screen" thread
I like your idea of using UCCW for the clock widget but found that using One More Clock has some nice presets already. Anyway, all I actually wanted to ask is what the best way for taking screen shots on the MotoACTV are... I'm spoiled with the pre-installed tools on my TF101 and the Note II but i still have a tool I downloaded from here a long time ago.
Thanks!

How did you install widgets? I'm on the latest DP rom and every widget that I've install doesn't show up under the list (only the stock ones do) when trying to add a widget to zeam launcher or launcher 7. I just tried one more clock with no avail.

You have to go into Manage Applications and find your installed widget, then click the "move to phone" button.

Hey Guys,
actual i have a Widget on my Homescreen to Lock my Device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here is my Question now.
Is it Possible to Lock the Screen with an App from the Homebutton (Longpress), where you can get to Google Now?
Maybe just replace the Google Now Link there. (All on a rooted Orig Firmware w/ locked BL.)
It would be quicker to just replace one of the 4 links at the bottom of the home screen with a shortcut to that app) that's what I have

I did this too, but it feelt kinda awkward for me.
This space is used as i like it the most (Screenshot).
The quick way is not the best for everyone, so i hope to get any help/answer how to do that.
But Thanks for your help and sorry for my broken english
Edit:
I found a Solution, Root is not required, so everyone can do this..
Home Button Launcher is the launcher for swiping up from the home button.
Soft Lock Screen is the App to lock your screen. (The one i used before didnt worked well, because i need a App for the launcher and not a Widget). Dont forget to Check "Auto Start Mode" if you only use one App in the Launcher
You dont have to wait till the Icon appears, what i tought first... just swipe up from your homebutton.
You can use DTSO from play store and you have a transparent widget in the Widgets section on your phone. Put the widget on the screen and...THAT'S IT!

Custom wallpaper made in Inkscape. It's Humphrey Bogart eating a hamburger with a hot dog in the other hand.
The icon in the bottom right corner is a folder.
Same for years first page on all my phones. I like Pixel 7 Pro default wallpaper. Which launcher you using? Is there issue with geatures and switching apps?
Same home screen for years, always with Nova Launcher Prime, I didn't changed anything on the P7P (and I hate navigation gestures)
Nova 7 launcher with flight pro icon pack. Haven't used any mods yet to play with status bar or anything else.
Nova Launcher, You icons and wallpaper, KWGT
Nova prima with some Kwgt. I like it minimal(icons are also folders).
Like to keep things simple.
Thank you, there are some really nice looking home screens out there, here's my screenshot.
Simple and clean
I keep using the same exact layout on every device I own. Packed with as many shortcuts as possible for a quicker access
Edit: The 2nd picture is the same home screen after a bit of New Year's cleaning
Dynamic island pill notification with smart launcher.

Love the wallpaper, I usually have a similar theme on mine.
I prefer less, being a minimalist. But I also root so I have full control over everything including theming.
AOSP Mods, Pixel Scratched icons, Nova Launcher beta 8
From left screen to right (3 screens) and pulldown...
Same setup for years, but I regularly only use 3-5 apps in a day, so the minimalism works for me
