Just hold your finger down on them until the menu pops up. If you want fewer dock screens (5 or 10 icons instead of 15 as you scroll) you can change that in menu > preferences > dock settings > number of docks.
I made this little app called Wallpaper Changer which comes with a widget to let you change your wallpaper with one click.
Simply add the wallpapers to a "rotation list" in the app and then you can rotate through your list with a single click on the widget. Additionally, you can also activate a timer which automatically changes your background image on a predefined time interval. You can also chose to enable the timer only when connected to an external power supply, though I haven't felt a significant battery drain with an interval of 30 mins yet.
If you don't use the timer, then there's no background service running or something, so it shouldn't affect your battery or performence in any way. Therefore it might take some seconds to actually change the wallpaper as the images are loaded only on demand.

This looks cool. I was thinking about something like this today. I'll check it out. Maybe you could add an option to change the wallpaper everytime you lock or unlock the phone.
thanks for the suggestion, i will implement it in the upcoming release
Looks good & promising Nice job

thanks very nice idea... I missed it on my desire s.
It would be great to have the option to add a whole wallpaper folder (not single wallpaper ... if you have more then 10 wallpapers.... )

+1 for "Add folder" feature
ok, convinced i'll look into that...
edit: done. click 'add wallpaper', then select an image in the folder you'd like to add. the app will now ask you if you want to add just the selected image or the whole folder
thank you
updated and tested on Wallpapers folder, added all 50 pics. thank you so much j4velin
I am so getting this. Thanks bud.
Can you make it so if it is set to "0" it doesn't change the wallpaper automatically (for if you do the lock/unlock)
Can you make it so it changes on phone lock so you don't see it change; when you unlock it's already a new wp?
if you uncheck "enable on boot" and never press "start rotation" then it shouldn't change your wallpaper automatically but just on widget click or on unlock (if you enabled "change on unlock").
changing the wallpaper before the unlock is a bit more complicated as the app has to change the wallpaper on screen off then. and to get screen off broadcasts, the app has to run all the time - which might drain more battery
Nice app, I'm digging the widget!
I get force closes when I add a folder (maybe it's because it has too many pics in it - about 700..)
After adding the folder I also get force closes when I go into the app.
N1 on CM7.

yeah, that's because the app runs out of memory when loading preview images for 700 files
i haven't though that someone would like to add that many images... i guess i have to split the previews in diffrent "pages" to fix that. be patient

Great, looking forward for it. 700 isn't that many again, is it?
well, you seem to like changes ^^
as a workaround, it'll now only show preview of the first 50 images. so you should at least open the app again ^^

Why don´t you just put an option to completely disable preview? I already know the images that are in the folder.
EDIT: Loaded a folder with 696 images without problems, set to change on unlock. Change takes 3-4 seconds after unlock, but I guess that´s normal. Gonna try later with a 2000+ images folder. Thanks.
omg you don't want to see any wallpaper twice, do you?^^
Great! I'm looking for something like this but for the lockscreen wallpaper, maybe its posible to add this feature to the to-do list?
Just wanted to drop this here to help people out who are dealing with broken buttons or simply want a shortcut to take a screenshot without using the normal button combo.
This app is for 4.0 (ics) and above and does require root.
I used the terminal command to take a screenshot rather than code another way to take screenshots so it should work with any device.
If it doesn't work with your device then your rom must not use standard Android terminal commands and you will have to find out what the command for your system is and use the tasker code I will link below to make your own. (not that hard - it's how I made this)
Usage : tap icon or launch via your choice of gesture launcher.
App will wait 1.5 seconds then take a screenshot and display a toast to let you know it is done or if it failed.
Tasker task usage: unzip file and import task - modify and use how you see fit.
How I use this app:
Lg stock rom has a shortcut on the nav ring called quick memo that takes a screenshot. I find this very useful on my Verizon g2 as the buttons are in the back and Verizon insisted on making them smaller so they looked better (I guess that was the reason). I switched to a aosp rom and missed this so I did some searching and found this command for tasker. I did a little tweaking and exported as an app and use slide launcher to provide a shortcut to it.
Bump! Anybody have any feedback? Ideas, suggestions, gripes?
How to you implement the tasker shortcut? Ex... I have the galaxy S6 and there is no xposed framework as of now which doesn't allow me to make a shortcut on the power menu. So I wanted to link the shortcut to long pressing the home button via tasker. Is this possible?
Where it saves the screenshot at Resurrection ROM -a custom rom-?
It gave me that it successfully took the screenshot but i can't find where it saved the it.
It asked for root permissions.

Sorry for the long silence! I no longer have a rootable phone but it either creates a "screenshot" folder or just saves to the normal location that screenshots save to on your ROM - but some ROMs won't scan every folder except on boot . I will look into improving this function but I can't promise anything since root is required and I don't have root .

No Problem, I had found where it stores the screenshot. But i find that it sometimes appear in the gallery apps and most times doesn't appear. It's there in the folder but doesn't appear in the gallery app.

That's strange being it stores it as png - a common image format. If you take a screenshot with the buttons where does it go? Also what format does it save in? And does it show up in the gallery no issues?

When i take a screenshot with buttons it saves it to same location.
All my screenshots saved in /o/pictures/screenshots
This app saves it in png format
same format as the others which is (an example) Screenshot_2015-10-26-19-27-22.png
but doesn't appear in any gallery app, but when i take screenshots by keys it appear immediately.
Always first screenshot this app take save it with name Screenshot_output.png

For weather on lockscreen, just put the Weather widget on your homescreen, then find your city Using GPS.
then you will see, weather information on lockscreen.
to make transparenct wallpaper on lockscreen, i think you should set the values to 1 then restart your device.

possibilities:
1. delete widget from homescreen then put it again.
2. clear cache & Data of Weather App & Unified Daemon.
3. after installing note 4 widget, you see two widgets (Transparent & S5 Like) put S5 like widget and search your city using GPS. after finding your city, you can replace it with transparent widget.
( Note : in my phone, i couldn't find my city with Transparent one.)

work great tnx genius
This app is used for two purposes:
1. You open a file and when you select an app it is automatically selected as the default app. You want that you must be presented with an app chooser every time you open that file. (This happens in Samsung S6 Marshmallow and might happen in other devices and ROMS).
2. You want the app chooser to pop up but you don't want to press the JUST ONCE button every time i.e you want to open desired app with single tap.
The solution to this is that you need to go and open the file as before, but instead of selecting the desired app you should select APP PICKER.
Then you will again be presented with a list of apps which can open that file. Now you can open that file with your desired app.
Next time you open the file, you will be presented with a list of apps which will also include the App Picker. Now you would not need to select app picker again.
Your problem should now be resolved, that (1) you will always be shown an app picker, and (2) you will not need to press JUST ONCE button.
I have tested this on various apps and 2 devices, but I will be happy to bring more updates if they are required.
Currently the app should work on following:
Text files
Images
Videos
Audio files
Other file types such as pdf, xlsx etc. (all types are impossible to test so please give feedback if something is not working)
Internet Browsers
Email Apps

It would be great to be able to select the apps that are suggested in the resolver list.
In addition, being able to do the same for the Share feature would be awesome! I know that several users (including myself) miss a xposed module that we used on KK.
In the custom Rom I'm using, the share feature already shows single tappable chooser so my app would essentially do the same thing. In fact I'm creating a chooser in this app in the way an app invokes its share function.
I didn't understand the first part of your comment though.

Oh i see, would it be possible to implement this, so it gives options for image selecting as there's a few image apps that I like to select images from sometimes. Annoying how the force the app you select to be the default one after.

Hi, thank you for updating it. I gave it a try and it doesn't seem to select the App Picker when I try select it.
When I select App Picker it'll just open up the menu again to select a default app.

This is how it works. Without app picker, you would select an app and it would automatically become the default and you will not get the popup next time. But now as you have selected app picker, the app picker is set to default and you will always see a choice of apps. You need to select app picker as default only once.
