Hey all! Just switch over from my N5 to the OPO and loving the phone!
Just got a quick question. Tried search the existing threads but didnt see anything on this.
With the Nexus 5, there was the ability to pull down the notification bar via the pull down gesture from anywhere on the homescreen without the need to touch the notification bar.
the Stock OPO rom doesnt have this feature. would be good to have with the bigger screen.
Does anyone know or came across for a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!:good:
That's a launcher feature, and I don't think Trebuchet has it. You'd need to use Apex or Nova to accomplish that.

ah.. its a launcher feature?
always thought it was a stock android feature for my n5
You could install another launcher like Nova or Apex. Or you could simply download a shortcut app like DropDownStatusBar.

Desktop vizualizer makes icfons at half size, with no way to fix as far as i can tell, i've told them but have gotten no reply.
folder organizer items work, but it places the shortcuts as a widget instead of a shortcut like it did in honeycomb.
so right now i have no way to add normal shortcuts to my homescreen with a custom icon.
does anyone have any apps that work properly?
I used adw for my custom shortcuts

not really a lot of help. i'm not asking for a custom launcher. ICS launcher is just fine. i just want to be able to actually make custom icons like i could in honeycomb.
i find it really hard to believe that no one running this tablet on ICS with a stock launcher is using custom icons. come on.

Have you tried Nova Launcher? Its basically the Stock Launcher, but allows for editing/resizing Icons and Widgets. Plus, you can install Icon packs for ADW and manually assign Icons of your choice to whatever you want...then resize them if you want.
Nova has a free version, and a Prime version with a few extra fun features. Both are in the Market.
yeah i've tried nova and the others, and personally i don't like/want to use them. i find the stock launcher just fine.
i'm just annoyed because for the first time in android history, i can't make custom icons work right. and i'm just shocked that it seems that no one else here is using custom icons on a stock launcher.
there are some ics roms out there already? are you rooted?

So you seem to be stuck on using the Stock launcher.
Well if you had tried Nova as you said, then I got to know, what about Nova didn't you like? I mean, Nova is basically stock from the look, and it adds the ability to use custom icons or ones from an icon pack, and allows you to resize them...which is what you are complaining about.
So, what is it about needing/wanting to use stock launcher, when Nova is stock with a few added features, one of which is using custom icons.
i don't have my TF rooted, so i lose the widgets menu, it doesn't have the tablet transitions, app drawer is 5x5 instead of 8x5. and to be honest, it's not as smooth as the stock ics launcher for me.
and honestly, i'm just still in a shock that apparently everyone is just using nova or adw.
i refuse to believe that i am the only person on this forum with an ICS transformer that is using the stock launcher with custom icons. that cannot be possible.
I'm looking to get a translucent status bar on the homescreen, using Go Launcher.
Am rooted, but don't seem to be able to find any mods that can do it? Preferably would like to be able to choose %wise how translucent it is.
Here is an example from the HTC One showing it, and on my S4 lockscreen it does it. But would like it on the home screen too. When i'm in apps its fine to remain black.
Anyone know?
I'm pretty sure the launcher has to support statusbar transparency, and I don't know if Go Launcher does or not. Go Launcher sucks anyway; use Nova instead.

Ah is it just part of the launcher, that makes sense then. I'll give Nova a try.
Thanks!

Well, technically, it's not part of the launcher...it's still part of the rom's system UI. But the launcher has a bit of control, and can enable or disable the transparency. When the launcher doesn't support transparency, the rom views that as "disabling" it, and the statusbar is opaque. But you get the idea.
EDIT: Wait, hold the phone. What rom are you running?
I'm stumped....
How do you lock icons on the desktop to prevent them from moving.

That sounds like the 'lock desktop' feature (on Apex Launcher) to me, I don't think they have that feature on the stock Trebuchet launcher.

Thanks.
In CM 11 (Trebuchet 1.0) there is a setting to lock the home screen.
It's in settings - personalisation / home - general - lock homescreen (I translated this myself from german language)
I have OPO Indian with stock ROM, can anyone please let me if we can have notification count on the icons when the icons have something to notify.
Ex:- in Samsung devices, when we have any Whatsapp message unread, the whatsapp icon says "1" or "2" on the top of icon. I know it is possible with Nova Launcher, but I need to stick to default stock launcher, So if anyone have any idea how to achieve this ?
Thanks a lot everyone for being in OPO family...
You usually need to have a custom launcher for this feature. Nova has it, but I believe it's the paid version.
Configuration - Status Bar - Show notifications counter

Nope. That's only for status bar.

Believe me, nova launcher is the best. Switched from stock launcher to nova few days back. I'm loving it.
As per subject, I wonder if there is a way to enable this via adb.
I want to have the google search bar at the bottom like on the stock Pixel phones.
Thank you for any input

That's a launcher feature, you can't just enable it like that, it has to be built in the app.
If you're rooted you can use quick switch + Lawnchair launcher.
