Hey everybody. I need the task killer and the data usage widget from the stock rom. I don't have them in V20b rom i just flashed... Kinda weird. Does anyone have them? Thanks are in advance.
I like 3g watchdog as a data usage monitor but you are better off without a task killer as they just use more battery
I want them only for the widgets. They are very simple and what i want. I am not gonna use task killer i already prevent unwanted programs from restarting. I want it dor the ram display. It's widget is very cute showing how much ram left. Same as the data usage. Simple widget showing the 3G data.
Anyone? Come on guys...
Actually I don't remember Stock ROM having task killer widget...
Sorry just re read your original post and i misread what you were after.

I dont remember stock rom having a task killer widget either. At least in the V10 roms that i used. Is this from the V20 stock roms?
Really? May be because of the different versions for different countries. Our country had v10b than V10c. And they had Task killer. I am using another county's V20b now. And it doesn't have one. If i had known i'd backup it, i thought it was default in every rom. I'll ask to my countrymen then, what can you do...
Hmm weird. Must be rom specific then. In the mean time advanced task killer has a widget that can display memory usage so it may suit your purposes
I found it myself. I doubt that anyone wanna know bu i am gonna say it. It is "Task Manager" from Rhytem Software. Avaliable free in the market.
Can anyone give me the data usage widget? I don't think i can find it myself

In my OB, it include the widget.
I never see NetworkUsageWidget.apk in my stok rom.
What launcher do you use?
Afaik, by default, you can only use that widget with lg stok launcher.
If you wanna use that widget on other launcher you must install appwidgetpicker first.

Thanks a lot man! Such an quixotic search from me. You are right. Widget is included. I use Go Launcher EX, i never thought of that. I went back to stock home screen.. And there it is! Thanks for the app tip as well. I'll search for that picker. Good day my friend.

Hey all,
one thing i am really missing, is the ability to have an app (maybe spare parts) or whatever, that allows me to hide apps from the app drawer (and only there).
Like when i download a free app, and have another extra app, that functions as license key, i want to have the opportunity to hide it from the app drawer, so that i dont see it anymore....
hope i was able to describe what i mean
=)

One way is to decompile and edit the manifest to not show the launcher icon. Not the best solution though.
What would be REALLY cool is a root app that can change the properties for installed apps.

Exaxtly what i meant...an app, with that you can set every other app to vissible or not!
Actually... there's been a recent message about this somewhere, some launcher dev, perhaps it was even cyanogen refering to his older (launcher2) launcher before ADW came along... might have been somewhere else.
Yes, the problem with a root app, which I looked into developing ages ago actually (to do exactly this, and only this really) still can't remove the required entries from androidmanifest.xml without stuffing up the signature. The app then won't get approved by android at all. This particular xml file is sensitive because it contains permission information. This is where I ran out of ideas for a standalone app.
However, the correct way to do it is via a launcher that reads what it needs to display from a different database, which is entirely feasible and not even difficult really. This would give additional benefits like the easier and more elegant ability to support custom launcher icons, adding custom shortcuts to the launcher, reordering the launcher...
The rate LauncherPro and ADW are going one of them will have it sooner rather than later.
dxtop home actually has the ability to do this...but I love ADW too much to go back
Yea....i dont want to leave my launchers as well,
exactly that is the reason for me, to ask for an extra app that does the job.

As I said, it can't be done in a different app, it must be done in the launcher.
There are separate apps out there that hide things from the launcher but they do completely disable the app whilst they're doing it.
Are you able to extend AWD for that option?

Pure speculation on my part, you'll need to hit up one of the launcher devs...
Isn't there any launcher w/o an app drawer for CM7? Once you go app-drawer-free you never go back.
This poor guy didnt get an answer. Im trying my luck in the better forum

Well maybe that is your opinion but me (along with most people) would rather have the app drawer and that is why when they go to miui they usually download launcher pro to get it back. I'm going to say that I don't know of a way and that is simply because there is not a high demand for this. I'm just slipping that in so you know that you may not get many options.

I fear you are right. I will get my head checked by a doctor.
Sticking with GO Launcher Ex for the moment.
i couldnt agree more with the op, having no chance of duplicating any app anywhere is a very awsome feature for keeping my device organized..
i would recommend miui launcher (not the original) from the apps section for android. not as good as the original but meets your requirments.
Move all you apps to the desktop, get rid of your app drawer icon.

Yes but still all new installed apps appear only in the app drawer.
I really do not understand why people want the app drawer: it's just messy and you need to think about where the apps are.
I would prefer to just have all apps in folder in pge number 2...
Any proposals for a solution ?

At that pace you look like you will get 20+ hours of moderate usage. I'd say that's pretty darn good, wouldn't you?
I suppose so. Usage was pretty light - it was just in my pocket most of the day. But, if that would last the day for me, then all is well.

are you on GB or ICS?
If you're on ICS, is it stock or custom ROMS? Could you tell me which one is it? And did you delete all the bloatware using Titanium Backup?
Thanks

I'm running a non-rooted version of the stock ICS ROM for the UK. I haven't used Titanium Backup to delete bloatware, but rather just disabled apps such as the Social Hub, built in file manager (I use Astro), calculator and weather widgets. There's a list of save to disable apps on here somwhere. By disabling them, they're removed from your app menu and never run in the background again. I've also got power saving mode on.

ICS?? amazing.. i need to flash stock ICS soon then. Because whichever ICS roms/stock ones i used, they gave me half the battery life than what I used to obtain using gingerbread.
Thanks for your reply bud

You're welcome. That battery life isn't the best either, as according to CPU spy my phone doesn't even deep sleep.
UPDATE: Unfortunately I have had to abandon this project, please accept my apologies.
I would like to introduce a little project I'm going to be starting, my first attempt at an App for android, one which will bring added functionality to the stock launcher on rooted devices.
Having tried a lot of different launchers, I actually prefer the stock launcher, for all but one thing which is the way it sorts Apps in the app drawer. The stock launcher sorts apps by name like most other launchers, but it splits them into System Apps and Downloaded Apps, so it can be hard sometimes finding the app you want.
My App is going to provide a way of sorting the Apps how you want, without modifying the stock launcher, so that it can last between updates.
My main aim is to provide a simple interface to pick how you want the Apps sorted, primarily alphabetical, ignoring whether they are system apps or downloaded apps.
You could do this by moving apps around manually but it would take a long time, so the idea is to automate this process.
While I work on the base of the app, I would like feedback on what other ways you would like the apps to be sorted, so that when you open the app, you can pick from different options as to how to sort the apps.
I look forward to reading some of your input.

Alphabetical

good luck. I'd add:
1. Most used
2. Last updated
3. Recently installed
4. Also if it is possible add search bar on the first page
All these options are available in GoLauncher. So if you refer to that you know what I am asking
-S
Great,
But can you even add or mod the default tasker like when we long press home key at the bottom it takes us to task manager where we have to kill all unwanted application one by one, can you add a kill all button to that it wwould be amazing if you can do that.
By the way thanks a ton.

obviously u dun have htc phone..
lg's contacts and phone is ugly. plain and simple.. join feature is ineffective.. stock icons are lame.. lockscreen is LAME and slow and buggy with faceunlock.. if u manually join contacts, u cant edit the name.. and the names can be random and wrong..
themes are jus 4.. and ugly.. weather is ugly.. its slow..
list is too long.. lg made an epic device.. *WAAYYY BETTER THAN ONE X* but ****ed up with the software..
I like the launcher but this is annoying, nobody wants to.continue this? I think it would probably be easier to just mod the launcher itself

Hi all,
Looking for a new launcher to try - I hate having the Google Now long press on my Home button - just hate everything Google Now.
In your experience, what's the best alternative launcher? Or perhaps, even more ideally, how can I turn that damn long press off? Can I change that through GravityBox?
Anyway, any insight is appreciated, as always!
Well, my Gravitybox has no such option. The only alt-Launcher i tried was Nova. What i really liked about it (and am missing despite GravityBox) was the "scroll-through" or "loop" when swiping continuously in any direction. But really, the Google Launcher is good enough for me. Why do you need the long press free, is there something nearby or similar..?
try nova launcher
My selection of best launchers !
Trust me I tested them ALL !
There's no such a thing as a "perfect laucher"....but since I hate Google now too, maybe you like my picks for a lightweight, customizable, feature rich, googless launcher:
1. L launcher
2. Slim Rom launcher
3. Nova launcher (is a classic!)
4. DarkLauncher (new but promising!)
I've tried quite a few over the years for various devices and keep coming back to good 'ole Nova (which is what I'm using currently on my Play).
Another one I really liked was Lightning Launcher because it's completely customizable but the performance wasn't as snappy as Nova. I haven't tried it on the Play and it's been a few months so might have to give it a shot again.
I have layers it.s okay
Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for your great recommendations. I've been on an installing spree today! I'm going to try all of the recommendations and go from there.
I'm wondering something though - it appears that no matter which launcher I have selected if I long-press the Home button I still launch the Google App. Am I messing something up here? Do I need to make the new launcher default to circumvent this? So far I've only been using them per Home press - (Just once instead of Always).
Looking forward to trying these things out! I want to uninstall Google Now. I gotta look up how to uninstall system apps..
I've been using Go launcher for last 6 years. It's perfect for me.

As you are rooted, I know that ?
Just install titanium Backup and uninstall the Google now. I too uninstalled it as I didn't use it at all and it always got in between my tasks. ?
