[APP] All-In-One Gesture

Hey guys, just wanna share an app that I found to be very useful.
I always wanted to have a lock screen key at navbar so that I can lessen my power button usage while still able to lock screen at any moment. And also camera shortcut that allows me to launch camera anytime.
Now I can swipe from edge or double tap navbar to lock the screen, I can long press back button to launch camera as well.

Yea I think that is the issue. I forgot to mentioned on the first post. You have to root your phone to use its full functionality.

How to make folders on the app screen on the Xperia Launcher?

Hello,
Just looking for help probably simple but can't seem to do it. Holding the application to hover over another just takes it to the home screen to place there but want to make folders on the application screen. Thanks

I had the same issue.
Look at home screen settings and enable add icons to startscreen, than you should be able to drop a icon on another to make a folder.
I have my unit set up with swedish so om not sure if the translation are correct.

Haha yeah cheers mate I thought that option was for adding new apps automatically to the homepage like an option I'm used to in Nova launcher. Reading the setting makes it obvious. Lol. Thanks

turn off "add icons to homescreen"

With 8.1 I noticed that they somehow relocated the option to prevent newly installed apps from adding icons to my homescreen.
A quick google search gave me a simple solution, which was simply turn it off in Home Settings.
But I couldn't find the switch in my options.
Anyone else got the same problem/solution?

mysterious green dot appeared after update

I'm on the November security update and I noticed that a small green dot appears only when I'm inside of a messaging app. It appears towards middle of the notification bar. It seems to react to any audio that's being played like a voice message. Does anyone else notice this? And what the hell is it.
I should mention that this mysterious Green Dot was not present in the October security patch.
It's the proximity sensor. Do you have Telegram installed? Go to settings and disable "Raise to Speak"
If you don't have Telegram installed, check if you have "Flip to Shh" enabled in device settings -> gestures. Disable it and check if that fixes it

Well no clue then, I'm sorry
Guess some app is keeping the sensor awake for some reason.

it's only when I'm playing messages though. No other time does that green dot ever show up.
That's correct behavior. It checks if you put your phone to your ear in order to disable the display
