Possible to add support for nova launcher themes? Then this launcher will be the best!

Liking this launcher so far...
Wanted to know, Is there a way to stop the "Quick Open" notification from popping up? I've disabled the notification but it still sometimes pops up and then disappears

Downloading and trying it out now. Always in the mood to try new launchers
[edit]
FIND ACCOUNTS ON THE DEVICE
Allows the app to get the list of accounts known by the device. This may include any accounts created by applications you have installed.
READ SENSITIVE LOG DATA
Allows the app to read from the system's various log files. This allows it to discover general information about what you are doing with the device, potentially including personal or private information.
ACCESS EMAIL PROVIDER DATA
Allows this application to access your email database, including received messages, sent messages, usernames, and passwords.
READ PHONE STATUS AND IDENTITY
Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. This permission allows the app to determine the phone number and device IDs, whether a call is active, and the remote number connected by a call.

Can you explain why those permissions are needed, especially since your launcher competitors don't require them?

Isn't there like 10 threads for this launcher?

No, it isn't. My phone stock launcher is really more faster than this :/

Ram ? how much ram it uses?

Its not multi dpi. 240 dpi is all buggered. Uninstalled

Pretty slow compared to Nova.

I gotta say.. real original piece of work you have here. You didn't even bother to change the basic stuff. I have notified Kevin.

Hi, we have removed the similar assets in our launcher in today's update.
Thank you for your information. The menu is a common menu. You can see Apex and Holo.

I just installed it, and no; you have not. Makes me wonder how the code looks like. Similar to Nova's? Well let's take a look.

[APP][FREE][Android 4.3+] HaloPop

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
PLEASE NOTE: This app will only function correctly on ROMs with Halo functionality, such as Paranoid Android. If you aren't on one of those ROMs, all this app will do is automatically launch the app you just got a notification for.
HaloPop allows you to automatically turn any app that you want into a popup when you receive a notification! It does this by listening for new notifications, and when one comes through for an app that you have enabled to run automatically as a popup, it shows that app as a popup over all other running apps, just like when you like on the Halo icon to launch it.
Works great for apps that don't have popups, such as Google Hangouts, or any other type of app where you don't want to use the included popup and would rather use the full app scaled down in the middle of the screen. Any app that give you a notification is supported!
Set up:
1) Install and launch the app
2) Enable the notification listener service when prompted... you have to do this or else the app WILL NOT FUNCTION
3) Push the + button on the top right of the screen and select all the apps you want to popup automatically
4) Enjoy
Some great apps to use this with:
- Sliding Messaging Pro
- Google Hangouts
- GoSMS
- Handcent
- GMail
- And basically anything else!
HUGE thanks to all of the guys working on Paranoid Android, without them none of this is possible!

Does this work with Nexus S? Or is it just Google play saying it doesn't?

Android 4.3+, so I'm guessing you dont have that...

Hey thanks for the app. Does this halo enabled? Just curious. Thanks

If only this app works on cm10.2. pa android 4.3 is very rare around xda now and some devices still have problems getting android 4.3

Ah...Makes sense haha. Darn. Could it be done for 4.2.2+? Or is the framework different? Anyways, I hope to be able to try it out soon =] Looks very handy.

The app uses the new notification listener apis, making it 4.3 only. I'm hoping lots of people get the update soon PA 4.3 is awesome!

This app brings Facebook chathead popup to all other app on Paranoid Android rom. Great! Hope one day it can keep cache on background memory so user can continue what he is doing with that app on floating window (currently, when the floating window disappear, the app is killed).

[Idea] [Poll] Quick Settings in Android Wear!

Hi everyone!
Today I've created a mockup of my own idea: A Quick Settings interface for Wear!
As lots of other users out there, I hate to scroll 5-6 times to finally turn on airplane mode when I want to use my smartwatch as a watch only. This would be a much better and of course, faster option to turn settings on- and off quickly with only one slide...
Maybe we could add Location and theather mode to the bottom line, but as I see, three icons would do the job.

I hope if we create a bit of a hype Google will consider creating something like this in the M edition of Android Wear...
Anyway... Do you like the idea?

Looks cool. Doesnt 5.1.1 already have something similar?

No, it does not. This is especially annoying because you cannot use WiFi directly without putting the device in airplane mode first.

This is awesome and would be incredibly useful for me.

Thanks! Feel free to repost on other forums! I hope if we reach out enough users Google would implement it in the next update

Why would you want to do this? Airplane mode disables interaction in the google apps. If you want to force wifi, better to turn bluetooth off on your phone.

The reason is if you want to use an app online. For instance, if you need a web browser or es file explorer on your watch. Bluetooth has no bearing. The system does not allow user apps to go online. There are two solutions (not one like I said before).
1, enable airplane mode, and then enable and connect to WiFi.
2, Put the app you want to have WiFi access in the system folder (I think both priv-app and app work).
Of course both have drawbacks, but that is the way it is right?

Apparently, like a lot of other solutions that have been found in android wear, there's an unofficial way to do things.
See web browser for a.w.

Looks awesome, maybe I'm slowly considering to get one of these petting watches

Yes please.

I like it ? should really be in it

yes please! I don't understand why google insists on coming up with a more "watch specific" interface for Wear, when scaling down vanilla android would have been a more familiar experience: pull down for toggles, swipe left/right to access your screens where you can deploy icons for quick launch apps, or one screen dedicated to notifications ala samsungs' touchwiz widgets page? I would pay for a mini version of Nova launcher on my watch.

Samsung GameBox launcher

Anyone else try the new GameBox launcher? It was available for me in Galaxy Apps. Basically Game Launcher on steroids as it's an actual full-blown launcher that acts as a front end for all your games and incorporates all the Samsung game tools. Looks pretty, but I can't see using it as a full time launcher. I do have it set as a swipe action in Nova Launcher so I can access it by swiping the app drawer button.

Interesting. I had never heard of it before but it looks pretty neat. Going to give it a try.

It's not an app, it's an actual launcher. I use it like an app though by setting it via a shortcut through Nova Launcher.

Go to "Settings", "Applications", "Default Applications", "Home Screen", then select "GameBox" and hit the home key.

I have the S7 (non edge model) and was able to find and download this the other day on the Galaxy apps site but today I cant find it. is anyone else having this problem or was this originally intended only for the edge users?
*edit* never mind I found it on the google play store. it's now listed as an app that is not available in my country!

Thanks i use apex and made a icon of the app like you and it works perfect!!
Sorry for my english

Questions Coming to Google from Microsoft

Greetings,
Long time contributer to XDA here for Windows development. Since the windows phone is essentially dead I had to move over to Google. I picked up the Pixel 2 from VZW and I have a pile of questions about this phone. Hoping you can answer me as may friends with Droids, Galaxys, and Essential phones tell me this is the Google phone so their version of Android is different.
1. Can you customize the screensaver with something better? Just the clock and icons sucks. It plain sucks. My wifes Droid has circles you hold down to view at a glance. It's there other apps that make the screensaver show weather and calendar info etc. My windows phone had that and it was awesome.
2. I was able to respond to texts outside the pin or device lock. If I wanted to do anything else with message I had to unlock it. Is there a way to do this on the Pixel 2?
3. Going through the Play Store shows the same home screen apps over and over that just customize the background and make the same overall look of the Android OS. Are there home screen apps that tear that down and make it look completely different that are customizable? I used to live the Manilla UI of the late 2000s. Does anyone do that? Android has the ability not sure why noone though of bringing it back. It was clean a d smooth and highly functional.
Thanks in advance for helping me out. Currently running a home screen app toake it look like the windows phone but it VASTLY lacks the ability to show information, make it look clean, and all around is not as good as the metro style live tiles are. Also repsonding to messages and having to unlock all the time is so infuriating.
Phone info attached. Thanks!

Since you bought the VZW version instead of buying from the Google Store, root might be hard to acquire if that's something that you want. Some of the apps that I'm recommending give you more flexibility and control if you have root access.
1) Take a look at "Widget Locker."
I'm not sure how well it works on the pixel 2. I just use the stock lock screen. Though I used it on my HTC M8 for a long time and it worked very well.
2) You could probably just turn off your lock screen, or find an app that lets you bypass it. Though your disabling part of the security of your phone if you choose to go that way.
3) Check out Nova Launcher, and Zooper Widget. There's also YouTube videos of a reviewer that goes over custom phone setups. When I get to my computer I will try to find them and post the link to their page.

3) try Nova launcher (prime) and/or Klwp. Klwp let's you do practically anything you can or can't imagine, including windows-phone-like setups.
There are also some launchers like smart launcher, using a different approach then the standard launchers, although I don't use smart launcher some people really seem to like it

Try Microsoft launcher app. It will make your Android system have some windows phone behavior. But still not windows phone and I don't like it.
