TODAY I BRING FORTH TO YOU A FIX FOR A ISSUE WHICH HAS BEEN REQUESTED COUNTLESS AMOUNT OF TIMES, TODAY I FINALLY DECIDED TO ATTEMPT TO TACKLE THIS ISSUE HEAD ON.. ITS A DIRTY FIX, ALTHOUGH IT DOES WORK.
THE ISSUE: TOUCHWIZ LAUNCHER USERS NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO SET SIDELOADED/CUSTOM APPS AS FAVORITES IN GEAR MANAGER !
I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT GEAR MANAGER STATICALLY UPDATES THE LIST OF INSTALLED APPLICATIONS WHEN CHANGES ARE MADE VIA GEAR MANAGER EG. INSTALLING APPS & REMOVING THEM, IT DOES NOT HOW EVER PULL THE APPLICATION'S FROM THE GEAR BESIDE THE INITIAL PAIRING PHASE.
IT SEEMS GEAR MANAGER ALSO STORES THIS LIST OF APPS AS A .XML FILE ON YOUR PHONE AND QUERY'S IT WHEN YOUR MAKING CHANGES IN GEAR MANAGER.
THE WORK AROUND IS SIMPLE, DELETE THE LIST AND FORCE GEAR MANAGER TO PULL ALL THE AVAILABLE APPS FROM THE GEAR AS IT DID ON THE INITIAL PAIRING PHASE!
YOUR PHONE WILL HAVE TO BE ROOTED IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK, OTHERWISE YOUR SIMPLY OUT OF LUCK TILL FURTHER NOTICE.
CUSTOM TOUCHWIZ FAVOURITE SHORTCUT EXAMPLE:
GEAR MANAGER EXAMPLE:

INSTRUCTIONS (DONE ON PHONE):
NAVIGATE TO "/DATA/DATA/COM.SAMSUNG.ANDROID.APP.WATCHMANAGER/FILES" IN YOUR CHOICE OF A ROOT FILE EXPLORER.
DELETE THE FILE "WAPPLIST.XML".
RESTART YOUR PHONE IMMEDIATELY.
*NOTE: THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED AND CONFIRMED WORKING USING GEAR MANAGER 1.5.123002
*NOTE 2: IF YOUR EXPERIENCED WITH TASKER, I WOULD SUGGEST CREATING A SYSTEM POWEROFF EVENT TO DELETE THIS FILE EVERY TIME YOUR PHONE TURNS OFF/RESTARTS.. THIS WAY YOU CAN ENSURE YOU HAVE A UP TO DATE APPLICATION LIST, WHICH IS ALSO MORE OR LESS AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED.
IT SEEMS GEAR MANAGER SOMETIMES WILL DETECT CERTAIN APPS AS ONLY WIDGETS AND WILL IGNORE THE APPLICATION SHORTCUTS. GOOGLE NOW IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS.
YOU CAN FIX THIS BY MANUALLY EDITING THE "WAPPLIST.XML" FILE:
*NOTE: REMEMBER TO SET THE CORRECT FILE PERMISSIONS & FILE OWNER WHEN PUSHING THE FILE BACK TO THE GEAR, IMITATE THE PERMISSIONS ON ANOTHER XML FILE IN THE DIRECTORY. OTHERWISE YOU WILL RECEIVE AN ERROR IN GEAR MANAGER.
FOR: "GOOGLE SEARCH" ADD THE FOLLOWING:
Code:

yep notification is still to the right of the clock, but im missing setting. I dont really care about settings cause i just use the full settings

Interesting. Makes sense though - especially why only system apps would show
Sounds similar to what I found with notification list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495161. Was able to actually modify things manually

Ever hear the saying beggars cant be choosers..
I did further research and it appears that the search & google now apps are being detected as widgets.. not entirely sure why, If I have time to dig a layer deeper I will..
My suggestion is to try manually editing the wapplist.xml and changing the search & now entry's.. or simply adding two additional new ones which will point to the apps themselves.
On another note this method actually allows other custom widgets to be used on the touchwiz launcher also, which is pretty cool.. I know it worked fine for zooper widget... I dont see why it wouldnt work for others also !

THATS WHERE YOUR WRONG, BEGGERS CAN BE CHOOSERS ! OTHERWISE THE DEVELOPMENT SCENE WOULD BE NON-EXISTENT.
I think I might have figured it out:
Replace the "Google Search" entry wapplist.xml to the following:
Code:
<item>
<AppName>Google Search</AppName>
<PackageName>com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox</PackageName>
<ClassName>com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.SearchActivity</ClassName>
<ImageFileName>com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.SearchActivity.png</ImageFileName>
<SettingFileName>null</SettingFileName>
<IsAppWidget>false</IsAppWidget>
<PreLoad>true</PreLoad>
<PreCheckSettingsCondition>false</PreCheckSettingsCondition>
</item>
For "Google Voice Search" add the following:
Code:
<item>
<AppName>Google Voice Search</AppName>
<PackageName>com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox</PackageName>
<ClassName>com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity</ClassName>
<ImageFileName>com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity.png</ImageFileName>

[Launcher Pro] [CUSTOM] Text Icons!!

I've been dabbling around with making text icons, so if anyone has any requests, i'll start making them for you. All i'm going to need is what you want them to look like, and a list of icons you want made. I.E. "Google Talk", "Google Mail", "Web Browser" and goodies like that. I'm also gonna need to know how you want things said, so make sure you spell it EXACTLY as you want it for your text icon.
TEAM VIPER!

Nice. The cake-decorator of this surge of chef work, putting the icing on the cake!
Someone made some genericicons not too long ago. I liked that he had some catch-alls like wife, hubby, gf bf, etc.
Look forward to seeing your work.

Well ...give me a list of what you want, and i'll make em up, and tell me what you want them to look like ...if you want a specific font, let me know that too

Well since you are asking for specifics, I'll give ya some for a decent starting point. Right now I just use Tallmin icons (all white, since my dock/wallpaper color changes all the time. Thatd be a nice one to base work off of (google it). So nice white or light grey ones with some shadows would be nice.
Font? I don't know it all depends on the user and which font they flashed over. Haha. I think personally Russel squared would look nice (one of the ones included in the font changing thread) or any other ones that were in that thread. After all, those are the ones most people out there are using as their system fonts, so having them match wouldn't be a bad thing
Edit: Oh and as for which ones to make, Id take all the standards, Web browser, File Manager, Music Player, Call Dialer, Open Games, Open Navigation, Google Maps, SetCPU, Google Inbox (Or Google Mail, Gmail, etc etc) Text Messaging, Android Market, Take Pictures (or open camera) idk, like I said I use the tallmin ones, they would give you alot of good ideas for examples too, seeing as most of those icon packs have ALOT of different ones.

You need Launcher Pro and what you do is long press on the desktop>select shortcuts>applications>(Now you select the app you wanna place on your desktop)>then you should see a "Edit Shortcut" window and you can now "touch the icon to change" which will bring up the gallery and you should be able to see the folder containing the text icons. Navigate to the one you want to replace the default icon, hit OK and thats it!(Remember to erase the name under the icon in the "Edit Shortcut"). I created a folder on the root of my SD Card and named it "Icons" and I place all my icon folders in there and they always show up in the gallery whenever I go to replace the default icon! You do the same for the dock icons, just long press and follow the on screen menu's.

Edit: Nevermind, I used a file manager and finally found it. Sneaky Lil picture it is.
Ok. I want the Samsung Epic (touchwiz) application icon. If u could find it, that would be great

signals23 Colorize Widget
Big credit to SnowBEE for this APK.
03.10.11 - Updated OG version and FULL version to 0.8.4 Pro Trial. BOTTOM to follow soon.
NOTES:
There are plenty of bugs, just like with the Market version. I can't fix these problems. Unable to login to Twitter/FB, Missing FB and Twitter photos, missing calendar settings button, Timeline posts are out of order, etc. I will keep these updated as SnowBEE updates.
Only works on certain Launchers, check here.
Only the one widget is shown in the screenshots, but all widgets are themed
All of my APK's are resigned by me, which is why you will need to uninstall SnowBEE's version before installing mine. Refer to the installation instructions at the bottom of this post.
All themes are contained in one APK file. You can change the theme by selecting the settings button on any of the widgets.

Trying to use them over your LauncherPro 0.8.2 and it says "Launcher not supported". Maybe they look for Fede's package, signature or whatever?
Great job. They look amazing.

Thanks. He says it's for GoLauncher, ADW, etc. I don't think LPP is supported yet. Prolly because LPP has its own widgets. I got the same error so had to test them on Go and ADW.

That's weird because you think a data wipe on the program would do the trick. I just tried it and it still isn't working. Still looking...

As soon as I get caught up on all my bills I will make a donation to you. I def love the work you have done with this as well as on LPP. And maybe someday hope to see a color option for the nextang theme.

I got that too. It just kept cycling between the "allow" webpage and the widget settings. I get it on the original apk too. I've only played with this thing for 2 days, so I'll have to see if I can fix it or if the dev is trying to fix it.
Stay tuned.

Two things, which may seem very stupid, your data service is working when trying to login, correct? And, try wiping data from the application then login again.

Well this NOTE 4 ain't mine and I need permission first to be able root that, then I can test further, reimplementing S-Pause and S-Scroll shouldn't be hard either, some smali work
But well, your point is good. Hehe if I get permission to root it, then ROM will be coming also with tons of unlocked content

Hello people, I'm going to show you how to enable those Gimmicky features from S5 which were removed from the Note 4 like Air Gesture.
1. Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut
2. Choose Activities tab
3. Scroll until you find Settings
4. Open the activity by trying it as shown on screenshots below:
1) For Air Gesture
PRESS ON THE RECTANGULAR-SHAPED ACTIVITY AND THEN PRESS TRY FROM THERE, THIS WILL OPEN UP:
2) For Air View
PRESS ON THE RECTANGULAR-SHAPED ACTIVITY AND THEN PRESS TRY FROM THERE, THIS WILL OPEN UP:
You can check and uncheck to your preference, but yes Note 4 got same sensors as S5, in order to enable Quick Glance you need apk from the S5 and that ensures you must be rooted.

You for got Smart Scroll and Smart Pause. On another note thanks for the heads up on quick glance I was only missing that

Hi bro how to active smart pause on note 4...please tell me?

Is there Air Command in that shortcut hack? I would really like being able to trigger Air Command from an app link without using SPen.

[APP][5.0+][Alpha] TaskerAuto - Run Tasker Tasks from Android Auto

Hi guys. This is my first app and first thread, so be gentle =)

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

TaskerAuto
TaskerAuto allows you to run Tasker tasks from your headunit. That's pretty much it.
I have some home automation gear at home and wanted to open my garage door from the headunit. I already had a Tasker task to do it, so why not be able to run any task from Android Auto?
If you use something like Home Assistant, it means you can do basically anything with your home automation from your car.
How to use:
1. Open TaskerAuto on your phone and select which tasks you want to be available in-car.
2. Have developer mode enabled in Android Auto.
3. Click on the little gauge icon in Auto (on far right) and select TaskerAuto.
4. Your list of tasks should appear. Clicking a task will run it.
Thanks to Emil Borconi from this thread for helping me get the app to run in the last tab.
EDIT: For some reason I can't attach files. Google Drive Link. Puu.sh Mirror

Great idea!
I'll check it. :good:
However, I have another "complementary" idea: Use some Bluetooth hot number in the phonebook for triggering Tasker actions. With this you can also trigger the same actions "dialing" the code... Useful when the AA is not running.
If you like to include also this other function, please contact with me (I have one indirect mode to do it).

Hi!
I use other tools compatible with Tasker. It's this App working as a Tasker plug-in, or it can only work with Tasker?
I ask this because I don't see anything when I open this App.

Thanks for the idea, and sorry it's not working for you =(
I'm using the query described here:
tasker.dinglisch.net/contentprovider.html
to retrieve the list of tasks. So it's not really running as a plugin, and it may only work with Tasker.

OK, thank you for sharing it.
One suggestion: You like to incorporate an alternative mode to trigger actions? For example sending a broadcast EVENT or similar? For example, see the documentation of Tasker plugins: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/plugins-intro.html
One option is create a "Event Plugin" and add to your App a list of actions (Action1, Action2, etc.), then any user can link these actions to Tasker Events in any compatible App.
For example, try these two free Apps compatible with Tasket plugins:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.robot
You agree?

Hi @MostoX,
Any option to upgrade your source code supporting Tasker "Event Plugin"?

Sorry manos I don't have time to do that. But if you'd like to take a look at it, I can put the source up somewhere. It's very simple.

Ok. Then, please craete a GitHub account an put your project there. Then we can do some mods for improving it.
You agree?

Hi again,
Code can be found here: https://github.com/IVData/TaskerAuto

Dude, thank you! :good::good::good:

Hi, when I run the app, there is no list of tasks, it's just blank. Any idea why? Tasker is definately running (there are active tasks).

Thank you, that solved the issue with the list.
I also had to change some settings in the developer menu to get the tasks to show up in the car menu. Working great now.
I love your app!

Improvement suggestion:
Automatically change the colors of the task list with day/night time. During the night the white is extremely bright on the screen.

Hi,
The tasks are not showed in my car menu.
I can't realize this step :
3. Click on the little gauge icon in Auto (on far right) and select TaskerAuto.
In which application ?
"I also had to change some settings in the developer menu to get the tasks to show up in the car menu."
Could you indicate the details of the modifications in the developper parameters.
Thanks for your help.

The shortcut is the one on the far right in the bottom black navigation bar. See picture below:
http://www.vwcarnetconnect.com/images/android-auto-os.png
These are the settings I have enabled in the developers menu (translated from dutch so may be slightly different):
- Application mode: developer
- Disable ANR check
- Unknown sources

Hi Pierreken,
Thank you vey much for your help.
All is ok now. I can use this useful app.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks fot the app.
But after the last Android auto update.. it's not longer showing under the shortcut, instead shows an app list for AA.
Thank you and sorry for my english

I found android auto (official not available in the netherlands, but got apk mirror), understanding you can build plugins for it... thats how i found this tread. Sounds like a great plugin.
Toke a while until i found out how to enable developer mode for android auto in the newest version.
https://developer.android.com/training/auto/testing/index.html#phone
so.. you have to tab the header 10 times in the about screen before the menu option is available.
however now thats done.. tasker is open.. task is selected in the app... but no option/plugin/shortcut is available inside the dashboard of android auto. Is it only available on the screen of your car, or should it also be available on your phone display (i only have the last one).
Or is the plugin not working with the most recent version of android auto?

I want to run a navigation program in phone, and then run android auto mirroring code, so to have one android auto shortcut to make both..
Can i do this somehow with this?
Thanks,
Sent from my Note 8 using XDA Labs

I cant seem to get this menu to appear? i have developer mode enabled, disabled ANR and enabled unknown sources, but when i click the icon on the far right i only see return to chevy mylink button. nothing else.
I have a samsung s8 non root if that matters.
any help would be great, as i cannot seem to get any unknown source android auto apps to work.

This is quite an interesting project. I'm guessing you have an AppWidget in the app and you're proxying the user chosen widget through it, right?
If that's the way, it should also be possible to add some other provider info XMLs, to let people choose, say, up to 5 widgets.
Anyway, I'm definitely going to follow this progress. You should definitely host on Labs.

Yes, you're totally right. The user can choose a widget in the app and it gets displayed inside the app. Afterwards I take the widget and show it in the Auto Activity. Therefore, it's no problem to extend this to multiple widgets.
I will look into hosting on XDA Labs.

i test it on waze widget. the widget look stretched out full screen, and not able to show any data

Since this is an AppWidget proxy, and it allows you to use widgets not optimized for Android Auto, there's not really anything the developer can do.

More screenshots please this be used with a 'Kustom Widget' I hope ?

You can use my app with any widget you have installed - so any widget that can be added to your launcher should be possible.

Please please please let us add more widgets. Already, years have gone by and the developer support for optimized apps just isn't as robust as promised by now.
Also, phone can't open the apk file. Pixel 2XL 8.1

Thanks OP! Looks cool. However I am unable to install it on Pixel OG 8.1. Is Android O not supported? Thanks!

Perhaps the file didn't download correctly? Could be corrupt.
I used mix Explorer from the XDA labs and it worked fine. Only problem is I can't get any of the widgets to actually show up in Android auto. I have developer mode open so I can use night mode all the time and set it up for unknown sources but no bueno.

Go to the OEM tab in Auto on your car (the one where you'd normally see a "Return to <Whatever>" button), and you'll see a bunch more stuff there.
