Hi,
I have a Pocophone F1 (not rooted) and I'm using Nova Launcher.
I cloned WhatsApp (using MIUI native functionality) and I want to be able to start the original app or the cloned one just in one click (so having two seperate shortcuts).
As I found on the internet, this could be done using the native launcher, which I don't want. With Nova Launcher, each time I click on the WhatsApp shortcut, it asks me which app I want to start.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I looked a bit in the logcat and I found that the intent is started with what's look like a user id :
u0 = original app
u999 = cloned app
I want to create two shortcuts, starting the WhatsApp intent with a specitif 'u' value.
Have someone an idea how to do that?
Best regards,
Maxime
Anyone?
Actually I don't think you can.
You should contact the developers, since they could change it / implement your idea.
The native launcher seems to support it already, your nova launcher doesn't.
That means: You can only achieve your goal if you use another app or if you change novas souce code (which is why you should ask the developers).
Did you try action blocks by google or shortcut maker from play store?
@User699 Thanks for your answer!
I reached the Nova Launcher support, but it looks like they can't add this feature, because they don't have access to the related API

I really like Aviate Launcher's collection feature where you can add certain apps to certain categories. Like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyone know of an app that allows me to do something similar on my homepage?
I can use folders but that extra click to open the folder is something I dont want. Also, Aviate collections show multiple app icons (5) right away and a button to expand for more.
Any suggestions?

Everything.me is actually a lot like that in that it categorizes almost everything. Basically, as you build folders it figures out what "category" those apps fit into and starts including weblinks and app suggestions into the folders. It's pretty effective, but I'm not really a fan. Definitely excited to get my hands on a code for Aviate though...

signup for the aviate beta & they will send you an invite sometime
I'm using it now, pretty cool actually
At night it offers different options automatically
Great stuff!
So.
I spent about two hours trying to figure out how to create my own, personalized keyboard shortcuts. Specifically I was looking for a shortcut that would allow me to open a compose message box for mighty text. I looked in to tasker and everything such.
FINALLY, I found something. An app called Anycut allows you to access and run activities. Specifically, one activity is important. It's a settings activity called Quick Launch. Looking at the various settings activity, you may find two activities called quick launch. Use the first one. After opening it, you should see an app that looks something like this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When you run this app, simply select a line and it will allow you to create add a shortcut. You can override old shortcuts as well. In the top right menu button, you can also select to create shortcuts for activities.
It's supposed to work for stock and I know it works for aosp. Works on PACman for me anyway.
I think it's pretty useful and hopefully this will help someone if they have trouble finding out how to create personal shortcuts as well.
Also, you can use any activity launcher to get this. I used Nova to create a new shortcut and then selected activities and that's how I gained access. It may also be a good idea to create a keyboard shortcut to the Quick launch activity. I made mine search + Q.

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to tell you about my new app.
I needed a way to create a color palette on my device, so I checked the Play Store for apps and all of them where very similar - they used pesky seekbars and clunky interfaces, ruining the experience.
So I decided to create my own app, completely different from any other.
It uses the device's accelerometer to allow the user to quickly and accurately choose colors with just a sleight of hand.
Choose from different color harmonies, to discover new color combinations.
Export the created palette for use in Photoshop, Illustrator, Gimp, Inkscape or in plain text.
Here are the screens:
Download it for FREE from Play Store:

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!

Why does app need "full network access" permission ?
Also,
Please attach apk to OP.

Network access is needed to display advertisements.
Why should I attach the apk if it's available through the Play store?
New update.
Added option to export palette to gallery as image.

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I want to share some website & Android app I made.
Last year I thought about how it would be fun to just speak to my laptop/phone and get animations in return.
When I looked for such a website, I couldn't find it, so I made it myself:
voiceflick.com
I also made it into an Android app:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voiceflick.voiceflick
My nephews and nieces love it , I hope other people will also enjoy my website & app.
I made it just for fun, it has no ads, or anything else that will bring me profit.
The website only works on Google chrome, because it uses Chrome's built in speech recognition.
This was the first time I ever made an Android app, so there might be some bugs
If something doesn't work, please let me know, and I will look into fixing it
All feedback is welcome.
I hope you will have fun with it

More info about the app:
To save battery, VoiceFlick only records while you hold the mic-button.
All returned animations are appropriate for all ages.
The animations are rated G: General Audiences – all ages admitted.
VoiceFlick uses Google App for speech recognition.
So if something doesn't work, please check if Google App is installed and working:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
The voice records are not send to VoiceFlick, it is processed by Google App, (Google App can be configured to use offline speech recognition).
In all built-in apps of OneUI, almost the entire top half is blank to enable easy one-handed use. While the idea is good, the implementation could have been better. There should have been a setting to choose how user wants the default view to look like.
Unfortunately, no Goodlock module currently allows for changing this view yet.
Is there a way to hide the blank space in OneUI?
For example:
Current Default view
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Preferred Default view
Is there a way change the default view of built-in apps?
Maybe with root it would be possible but you would have to edit the settings apk etc.
I would love to remove it also such a waste of space.

Don't think that would work.
Is there a way to send feedback to the Goodlock team?

From within good lock app there's contact us link which takes to Samsung members app
I used GoodLock > RegiStar to hide the Samsung Account menu and there's no blank spot.
For me i like this feature to use the device in one hand
