So here's my question.... I absolutely love widgetlocker but the only thing I want to change is the ongoing notification while WL is active..... is there anyway to remove it?

With Widgetlocker active press your menu button then press the following:
Settings > Advanced > Hide Notification Icon

Tried but can't figure it out. If you have two dialer app and tap the phone shortcut on Launcher Pro dock, it'll ask you to pick one dialer to launch. If I set one as default dialer app, then the default app will be launched when I tap the shortcut.
How do I add similar shortcuts for other apps? For example, I'd like to add a shortcut for messaging that will ask me which one to launch if I have two messaging apps but have not set the default. After I set the default messaging app, the shortcut will launch it when tapped.
Thanks!

Long press one of your shortcuts or one of the plus signs in the hidden dock and hit change shortcut, then select applications and choose your app. then hit default icon.
If you want the shortcut on your home screen, long press and hit shortcuts... then the same as above. Doing it this way won't ask you for a default because you are choosing the app you want for that shortcut, not sure there is a way to do it like your asking.
Thanks, but this is not what I want. I want to launch the default app, not a specific app.
The phone shortcut has the behavior I want.

Have you tried going to Settings/Applications, find the app you want, select it, the scroll down and use the Reset Default or Clear Default option?
That should make it ask you next time you try to use one of the similar apps which you want to use and the option to make it default.
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:

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

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!

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.
What version are you using if you still have it?
My Clock app has disappeared. It's not in my app drawer, it's not listed in Nova Settings when I click on 'hide apps'. It's listed in Titanium Backup, and I can run it from there, but that's the only way and it's kind of a pain. Any way I can get it back?
is it just a widget?
I'm talking about the default Clock app that comes pre-installed. With the stopwatch, timer, etc.
Be sure to go into the app settings and allow them to run in the background and go to battery settings and click on "Don't optimize". I myself also allowed "auto start". Use the Overlay clock app to put the clock wherever you want to put it and use the system UI tuner to disable the stock clock (if you so choose).
Overlay Digital Clock:
Overlay Digital Clock - Apps on Google Play
It is an application that displays a digital clock as an overlay.
