Ok This idea came to me earlier today, sense 2.1 roms (Speedy ports) have a recently used apps bar in the notifications menu. Well I found a better use for it,
Instead of seeing the app you just closed why not display common everyday apps? e.g. phone, flashlight, facebook, twitter, camera. See that way you don't have to run around your UI to find what you want, It's simply a drag and drop away
{
"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"
}
The con is this.
Making the apks run in a list and then closing (background) constantly may effect you wanting to see your recently used apps (The one where you just long press home button and it displays) those apps the first 4 or so will be which ever default you have set up. any way I'm seeking some help with this I'm not new but nor am I marinated in sense feature modifying.
Any one interested?
also My current method an apk that opens and closes each app seems to cause issues (obviously) so I'm seeking help in doing the proper system edit to get this Modification up and running.

Basically the message subject says it all... I have a bunch of things in the today screen but when I slide open the phone I want some to be hidden so there is no scrollbar on the side (really annoying)....
Is this possible and if so how do I do it??
Thanks.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You probably have large start menu installed.
Heres an image of what I am talking about.... I dont think its the start menu because when I am in landscape the start menu automatically creates a section called "more..." for the items that dont fit.

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I think this may have something to do with the Quick launcher which has 5 icons for my pictures, task launcher, camera, music and phone.... this cant be seen in the image but is there a way to hide this program in landscape???? I dont see any options for this.
Thanks.
ADDITION: I was able to make this somewhat more tolerable by un-docking the HTC home plugin... still wish there was no scrolling though.
I was wondering if there was a launcher out there that does the same thing that TWL does where you can bring up your apps, then just press one of the overhead dots to quickly go to that particular page (column) of apps? I was told that LP doesn't have the functionality, & I played with ADW today for a bit, but couldn't find a setting...
Bottom line: me no likey da scroll-y.
If you install SGS Tools there are different variations of Touchwiz. Just go to upgrade stock apps and then upgrade tw launcher.
Yeah, I've already got the updated version installed; was just wondering if there was another launcher out there w/the same functionality. le sigh.
EDIT: Do you want that feature in the app drawer?
If by "app drawer," you mean the screens/columns that you see when you hit the button to bring you to all of your apps, then yes. I'm referring to the dots @ the top of this image:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But you aren't the first person to suggest Zeam. Maybe I'll see if that's got what I'm looking for today...
*Edit - tried Zeam, & unless I missed it, it doesn't have it, either.
Alright, I've changed this before but I just can't remember how...
I have a page that is full of contacts that I access most often. I just recently changed the picture of a contact and, in order to update the pic on the contact shortcut that I made, I had to erase the old shortcut and add a new one after updating the contact pic. When I did this, however, it added a different type of contact icon than what I have set as all the others.
Here's a pic:
{
"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"
}
As you can see, the contact icon in the top middle is completely different than the rest. They used to all pop up like that but I've been able to change it in the past.
I'm running CM7 with Luncher Pro if that helps. I just want all the icons to look the same and I don't like the style that has popped up on there (I believe it's the default Android icon).
Any help is MUCH appreciated!
I'd also like to note that nothing else on my phone has changed since updating to CM7 several months ago and adding Launcher Pro....I was able to create all of the other contact shortcut icons with exactly the same phone setup as I still have.
Hello there
I've always heard great things about greenify and I finally decided to give it a shot. This is how I set it up for now:
{
"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"
}
Does that mean that these applications will not run in the background anymore and I'd only receive notifications from them, for instance, when I run them?
And one more thing:
What does this mean and do?
Thank you very much. If this is not the correct section and that Apps and Games is more appropriate, please let me know and I'll edit/delete this.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
thats ok but i would not hibernate facebook ... i want to get messages or notification
i would asphalt moto hibernate too... and some others i dont need
Thank you for your reply, but AsphaltMoto and other games aren't actually running in the background, are they? I mean when I check under Settings > Apps > Running I only see a few applications which are basically system ones but I don't see the ones listed under "May slow down the device when.." so do I really have to hibernate them as well?
tI've been using my Note 8 for about a week and a half and I've encountered a really annoying bug that wasn't there on the first day.
When I'm in any kind of multi-tasking screen, any Internet Browser on the bottom half of the screen is blanked out. So for example, in the two screenshots below, I have Amazon and NewEgg open in Samsung Browser and Chrome at the same time. Whichever one is on the bottom is completely blanked out. If I switch which app is on the bottom, it switches which one will be blacked out.
In my phone, it looks black, but in the screenshots below it looks white.
Anyone know what this could be? Admittedly, it could be a lot of different things--I've been toying with Bx Actions, Bk package disabler / ADB, Nova Launcher, my settings, etc...
As it stands now, the rest of the phone works great, but I may have to factory reset my device.
It would also help if someone can tell me how to reliably create a bunch of restore points so I can move in iterations next time I set everything up.
Thanks
