Is it possible to add a shortcut on the homescreen to turn on a tv? I am using smart remote and would like handy shortcuts on the home screen instead of opening the app and choosing the remote first

Smart Remote doesn't have this feature. However, AnyMote from the Play Store have it. Try it out.

You're welcome.
I don't think there is anyway but I think you can get some 3rd party apps that may help, as he said up there
It's already solved.

i think i mispelled it, the software mightve been called quickdesk but i uninstalled it after a few days as i found it caused my phone to lag and reboot. I normally just use widget locker if i really need media controls and ive found it to be a semi usable solution.
I would love it but u can onli have a status switch till now

hmm, I don't see the point - I am on Omega 2.0, Holo-Launcher an Chameleon launcher, and there is the s-pen-setting where you may choose the action when pulling out the s-pen, an it works like a charme. Launches S-Note when pulling out the s-pen.
Do I miss something?

You can disable the auto-launch from the system I guess... Can't say much here as I don't have the note 10.1.
You can try it and also let me know

I would like to open a shortcut or bookmark that is placed on a home screen. Example: I create document in s-note or what ever app I use and save a link to it on one of my home screens so when I tap on it s-note or what ever app opens straight to the document I have started. I would like to have it so when I remove the s-pen the document opens with the correct app ready to edit.

You can choose the shortcut option in auto-launch and create a new shortcut which should be auto-launched, which will be the same one you placed on your home screen

I don't understand what you mean by "you cant create the shortcut again". The problem is I don't see a way to find the homescreen shortcut in the s-pen helper open shortcut listings.
I will checkout the app you mentioned but it seems it is only for s-note and then you have to use the name the app says and not your own document name.
BTW thanks again for a great app and you great support.

By can't create again I mean that if you cannot find it in the shortcut menu of spen helper. Currently you cannot use any shortcuts which are already on the screen. If I find any way to retrieve shortcuts which are already on the screen I'll add it in a later version
Is there a way to use the LG Health feature w/out using the LG UI?
Just wondering cause I kinda like the feature but just don't want to use the LG UI.
Yep download the launcher of your choice then get the app "any cut". Go to short cut and then go to activity. Find LG health and create shortcut.

Awesome app! Just what I've been looking for!
if you use a launcher like apex or nova you can just install shortcut to home screen without downloading another app. or i have mine set to open with a gesture.

The thanks is there. Thanks! You can also disable knock on with this app. If anyone finds another shortcut in there that they think is useful post it up. I went through and didn't really see anything else.

Hi,
Important : Requires ROOT
This is a simple App that emulates the click of Power Button.
Handy when u want to reduce wear and tear of the physical button or if the button is not working.
Currently the following method of Trigger are available:
- Using the Swipe Up Assist action which usually opens the Google Now App
- Application icon (In Launcher)
- Shortcut
- Intent Support - Use 'in.pathri.screenoff.SCREEN_OFF' as Intent action to trigger screen off from ANY App, including TASKER
Following are planned to be added:
- Widget (Is it Needed?? )
- Tasker Extension
Advantage over other similar apps in Market:
The usual 'Screen Off' 'Screen Lock' Apps that are available in market, makes the 'Smart Lock' feature introduced in Lollipop not work. Also this makes the timeout period set in the 'Automatically Lock' security settings to not work.
Since my App uses shell commands (and hence the need for Root) to emulate Power Button press, both Smart Lock and 'Automatically Lock' settings work.
Disclaimer:
AFAIK should not cause any problems in any device since nothing dangerous is being used. But still the usual disclaimer : ' I am not responsible for any damage done to your device, hand, home etc... LOL '
Have tested so far in the following Mobiles. Would be glad if others test it out in various mobiles and report here.
Nexus 5
HTC One X
Change Log:
v0.1 - 5th Jan:
- Initial Version with only Google Now Swipe gesture support
v0.2 - 8th Jan:
- Added the following:
Application launcher
Shortcut
Intent Support : 'in.pathri.screenoff.SCREEN_OFF'
v1.0 - 18th Jan:
Modified code to support more Devices. Probably must work in all Android devices irrespective of Android Version
v1.1 - 20th Jan
Shouldn't be showing in recents anymore
v1.2 - 20th March
Added icon for the swipe up gesture
Fixed a bug that was causing adding shortcut to crash in certain launchers(AFAIK GEL based)
v2.0b - 30th March
Adding a new material icon - thanks to @slider112

AFAIK, If we use tasker to screen off, it will immediately lock and would not respect the Smart Lock feature. Please correct me If am wrong.
Regarding the gesture bringing up the magazine app, have u configured the swipe up gesture do that by default ? Or After installing this App,the swipe up gesture got assigned to it?

Oh..ok.. Then I Guess the swipe up gesture you are talking might not be the one I am referring to. The gesture I am referring to usually triggers Google Now /Google search
Does the gesture that opens the magazine app, work on custom launcher?? If no, I Guess that gesture is part of Samsung launcher and can't be overridden without launcher replacement

Regarding overriding the swipe up gesture in ur Note 3 , I think it might be possible with an Xposed module. I have never written one, so not Sure. I am ready to try to make a Xposed module, If it's ok for u to test it out in ur mobile (have no previous experience in writing Xposed module, so a word of caution )
I have tried that mod already it doesnt replaes the gesure action.

Hi,
I'm looking for kind of apps working from lockscreen.
Like some shortcuts, launcher etc. There are lots of apps like omniswipe, sidebar launcher and lots of floating lunchers but non of them worked for lockedscreen.
You have to unlock the screen to see the launchers dot.
Any apps you know?
PS: I'm on magazine unlock.
Thanks.
