[Completed] Quick Actions for Android? - XDA Assist

Is there a way that you can get the Quick Action feature from the iPhone 6 on Android? I'd like to be able to hold down the Twitter icon and Tweet from there. Not sure if this is possible but it sure would be cool.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
If anything, that would be a custom launcher feature, using apps that support it. The site has launcher threads abound, just need to find your favourite, and then ask for this feature, assuming it is possible.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

[Q] Haptic feedback - duration of vibration

Hi,
I am Android newcomer.
With WinMobile could be set somewhere in the Regestry the duration of the vibration of the haptic feedback (eg 20 ms). Where and how can I set for Android. For example. It is at "SwiftKey" possible, of course, only for the program, I would like to keep it for the whole Androidfeedback, I find the vibration that is too long! ...
Greetings
Johannes
PS. Sorry for my poor english
I second this and would even pay for it via paypal or market
I'm researching this exact issue for someone over on Android forums. Has anyone learned if it is possible to change the vibration specs in Android?
For root user, There is a menu in cyanogen menu that allows you to tune the time and pattern you want.
Hope this help.

This seems to have been removed in CM9 and I miss the feature.
I really would love to look at this more and I've tried to search the source for the CM7 settings app but I can't find where this setting is implemented. I would love to create a mod for this since it seems CM9 are not implementing a lot of old features.
If someone knows where I could look further to find out how this is achieved I would love a pointer
There is a Play Store app named Vibrate Smart that may have what you seek.

Thanks for the tip but I'm afraid it doesn't seem to allow me to manually set "ms duration" which is the feature I'm looking for... So still looking for either the correct source for this in CM7 to base it on or any other input that might lead further

[Request] widget to open phone log

Sorry if this the wrong forums.
I'd really like a shortcut to phone log I can add to the static part of the screen.
I hardly ever use the phone to dial, just calling old numbers, is there any way to get this?
(Yes I realize it's incredibly lazy not to want to open phone and tap the log section, but that's why I got android, it makes it posible to skip unnessesary steps like this.)
Very happy if someone can help or know an app that does this?
Thanks
EASY!

[WIDGETS] Chameleon Launcher Widgets

Now that Chameleon Launcher has hit the Google Play market for real, I thought it'd be a good time to start a thread on xda for widgets made for this very promising Android launcher.
NOTE: The URL to the Chameleon Launcher 'make a widget' page that contains all the information required to make a widget, including a template, is HERE
Please, post your creations below...
Cool! And I subscribed to this thread.
I want to dive into developing widgets because of the lack of them. Chameleon says we can use the source of their widgets.
So I wanted to make a EU style datetime widget but i cannot find the source of any widget except for an empty template.
There are links to the widgets landing pages but that only gives me the source of index.html. And I think I need more than just that.
Anyone knows more about it?
I published my question and then i thought that maybe i am posting in the wrong forum. If so, please Mod, teleport it to the right one.

Almost all the neccessary files are linked in the index.html; you can find all the stylesheets and javascript files there. Also, you know there is a manifest.xml-file in the template-folder, so maybe you can find that by adding /manifest.xml to the url. (don't know if it works!)
If I may request, a reddit widget that allows you to login to your reddit account and display your frontpage
Chameleon it's an overhyped %&^$ !
I regret paying my hard earned money to backup this &^*%&
Thank God Google didn't bought it to use as the future interface of Android ), it wouldve mean total surrender to Apple and it's ios.
@hobolooter - It's ure right to disagree, as it's my right to say it's and overhyped crap.
The idea behind it seems good but the result... :laugh:
Maybe with the help of the community it would become useful indeed - good, practical widgets needed ! , not just stupid widgets for the teenagers, which are cool for the first 10 minutes and after that....

Theres a lot to be improved.
Good luck with your work!
I disagree and think it was in poor taste to post that in this thread. The fact that they opened up HTML5 widget development that actually works well is awesome. I'm working on a few widgets myself and a starter kit that doesn't suck (the one they provide is nauseating to a js dev).

Regardless of what your rights are, this is a place for adults to discuss things..so please act and type accordingly. Thank you.
I personally wouldn't buy Chameleon until they lower the price but hopefully a thread like this will inspire development to spice it up. :good:

Needs a decent calendar widget (needs similar functionality to GO Calendar, I haven't found better yet) and a News Republic widget before I'd consider purchase.
Also I hear custom wallpapers aren't supported?

You can use any wallpaper you like - just send it to Chameleon Launcher from the Gallery. No live wallpapers though.
Cool. Will a wallpaper changer app work too?

I'm gonna say no because I couldn't get one to work... probably because they're all essentially live wallpapers

Interesting... You tried the one by j4velin just called 'WallpaperChanger' on Google Play, as I don't believe his is programmed in such a way as to make it a 'live wallpaper' ?
Can your Chameleon homescreens slide/rotate like other launchers?
Sorry for hi-jacking, but I've been following Chameleon's progress and couldn't find these answers elsewhere.

Yeah you can swipe from one screen to the next
Still won't work because you have to "share" pics one by one with Chameleon for it to be available

Custom wallpapers are supported. Just share any image to Chameleon App.
I've been playing around with a Chameleon widget that displays unread emails from an IMAP account. It uses PHP (with the IMAP extension) to fetch and process the email headers on the server, which works nicely but is less than secure unless using SSL (which I am), since the email account credentials have to be sent to the PHP script in plain text.
I'll admit that I've had very little experience writing for Android--most of my recent work has been with Javascript and PHP. I seem to recall being told at some point that it would be either difficult or impossible to fetch email data from the native Android email app to use in an HTML5 widget platform like Chameleon. Is that the case? I'd prefer to get the data from the local device, particularly because I need to support Exchange.
If you've got more experience with Android's bowels than I do, can you confirm (or unconfirm) the information I'd been told? Is there a practical way to access the email files with Javascript?
Thanks!
D.
I tried it for 10mins and I think it sucked a lot on my Nexus 7, I think all the free ones are better I can see why it is paid but 10$ is kill.
Also I am surpsised we are allowing a PAID app to be supported on XDA we should delete this thread

[Q] Notification Widgets (Widgetlocker)

Hi guys!
For the last few hours, I have been looking for some type of widget displaying missed calls and unread messages, for my widgetlocker lockscreen.
Ideally it would be showing when there are missed calls or messages, and be gone when there are none. Something like the notifications you'd see on the iPhone's lockscreen.
Something like the notifications on GO Locker iPhone Lockscreen HD by ProArt (Appearently I can't post links since I'm new here, but just search that on google play :3 )
Or perhaps the ones on Cute Lover Go Locker by KOOL HD GO LOCKER THEMES (Also on google play.)
Anyone know any widgets that would work for that? I'd be much appreciative, since I have been searching for a long time.
And I really don't know if I am just a bad investigator, or it just doesn't exist.
Personally, I hope for the first one.
Anyways. Thanks in advance!
Welcome, I hope your issues/questions gets addressed. Until then here is some information for you Thanks.

disable app drawer

Hi guys,
it is my first thread so please apologize inconvenience upfront, thank you.
I own a Pixel 2 since a couple of days and I really like it. But since I'm coming from a Huawei device and need to use iOS devices in my company I'm really familiar with the 'no app drawer' thing.
Yeah, I know that this is something most of the people love, but I really can't get used to it.
Is there anyone who maybe know how to disable the app drawer?
Already tried different launcher and the only one that I've found was the Mi-Launcher.
If there is the emui launcher somewhere outside, I would prefer this but I've looked already day after day for it.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you all.
cheers

Give it some more time. It's really nice to keep your home screen clutter free and all apps sorted alphabetically in the drawer. You wouldn't want all your computer find at work sorted randomly on the desktop, would you?
But if you must change it, I'm sure there are a bunch of iOS themed launchers in the play store. That's the beauty of Android... Choice!
You could use Nova Launcher. Just disable swipe app drawer and hide the drawer button. Make sure the setting "place newly installed apps on home screen" is enabled.
