Hey guys,
Im running action launcher on my phone. Its pretty cool and i like the appearance of the app drawer as well as the ingenious covers. Anyways I am having one issue. The button to open the app drawer is too far for me to press. I want to have an app drawer icon like in standard android. How can i add an icon to open the app drawer.
I got rid of the buttons at the bottom of my nexus 4 for the extra screen space so i cant just use the home button.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alex
Does anyone know how to get your app drawer in the navigation bar???
I would love to get my app drawer in my navigation bar but i have not found this option yet. I'm tired of going to the home screen just to open the app drawer when the app drawer could be on my navigation bar. Please tell me if this is even possible.

I don't think possible. The app drawer is part of the launcher. It isn't a process of its own. You would have to assign an emulated hardware button to that process alone.

Hey guys
I'd like to know if any of you already tried to edit the google now gesture icon (see attached).
I use the google now gesture to lock my N5, so I'd like to have a lock icon or something alike.
Thank you!

Pretty sure you can't edit the Google now gesture icon without a custom ROM or 3rd party app... I used Home Button Launcher ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dynamicg.homebuttonlauncher) to edit - simple and perfect, IMO.

To see the list of recently called (active) apps - I have to long-press "Menu" button, which is not very comfortable. How to make it work with swiping on screen upward? Are there any configuration settings for that in kitkat?

If you are rooted you can try with xposed framework and gravity box or some other modules that allow you to change your navbar settings or your hard keys configuration.

I do have root, but xposed - or rather its modules, but it's almost the same - does not work at my phone (Alcatel Idol X+).

You can have this gesture, but not while using an app. That's because this would interfere with scrolling or possible app gestures.
I have the exact gesture set to open recent apps with Nova Launcher.
Install Nova launcher, go to Nova settings, gestures and buttons and set the swipe up gesture to open Recent Apps.
This will work when you are on one of your home screens, but not in apps, like I said.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Hi, thanks. The matter is that I use the launcher, which I don't wish to change. I've been using it for a while and I find it the most suitable for me. It's Launcher Pro. Mostly because it allows to make a bottom bar of shortcuts scrollable, fitting there more than 4-5 icons. Also it's quite fast and does not drain battery.

Nova launcher does this as well. It's incredibly light and fast. Very customizable. Give it a shot. You might like it.
It's considered by many the best android launcher.
I have the paid version and nova launcher is always my first installed app after flashing any rom.
To activate the dock (bottom bar) pages, go to nova settings, dock, dock pages. You can also set the number of dock icons and a lot of other stuff actually

Thanks, the launcher itself is good, but as to swiping action - it seems does not solve my problem. The swiping works if it happens on blank zone. On my Meizu firmware, when I, for instance, had some PDF opened full-screen - I could swipe from bottom of screen or side - if being in landscape orientation - and recent apps bar appeared, so I could call dictionary or encyclopaedia, whatever, and the same way back. It was fast and comfortable. Here it does not work...

Yep. Like I said, it only works from one of the home screens. Don't know what else to suggest unfortunately

In case someone is interested, more or less normal way to do it - "All in one gesture" application. It adds a small "hot spot" zone to drag from.
Is there an Xposed module or any app that can do that for me ?
I would like to open the App Drawer on Google Now @ Lollipop with a right\left slide...
If I could bring the AppDrawer to a page of his own on the screen it would be even better...
I dont want to change launcher to do that, I like Google Now. It's simple and fast...
Xposed doesnt Work on lolipop
Do you mean something like this? Appsi is what I used in the attached screen shot.
