Disable At a glance on the new Android Pie Launcher - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Any way to disable At a glance on the new android Pie launcher without changing the launcher? I prefer chronus.......

Yeah, long-press on an empty spot on the homescreen and go to options - its in there.

Did you verified what you are saying?
There is no option to disable it at all. Just to manage what is displayed.

[Q] Create shortcut to a 'System Settings' element

I use System Settings » Security » Privacy Guard quite often (cynaogenmod 11). So I would like to add a shortcut to that on my home screen. How do I do that?
(I would appreciate if there is a way to do this without a 3rd party app)
Download Launcher 3 from KitKat (CM11) ROM....this stock launcher has this as an inbuilt feature....
now i am on cyanogenmod 11. how do i add the Privacy Guard shortcut to my home screen?
not possible? is there at least an xposed module for this?
I Know this is old but it can be done know with app called quickshortcutmaker. Install through google play store, open and search for privacy. This will bring up a few setting process that can be created as shortcuts. You can also try the shortcut before creating so you know it will work. The correct process to create the shortcut is call $AppOpsSummaryActivity

Disable Stock Lockscreen MIUI 9 / Use 3rd Party Lockscreen

Anyone know how to disable the Stock Lockscreen so that a 3rd party can be used without having to go through 2 screens? I found an option under Developer Options to disable lockscreen however this also disables 3rd party apps from running.

I think that if you enter "installed apps" and then press the "default" button with the settings icon you can change there the default apps of the launcher, lockscreen, dialer and more.
Thanks, although there is no setting for lockscreen there. In the Screen Lock section if you change "Skip swipe screen" to off then you can add a 3rd party lockscreen and then use system unlock method after that.

Question Task Changer/Manager Alternatives?

Coming from Oxygen, there's still a lot of visual stuff I dislike about One UI, though I will say, it's FAR better than the last Samsung I used which ran TouchWiz.
Running Nova and Theme Park to get things looking/running the way I generally prefer.
The one last piece that I really dislike but can't find a complete solution for is the Task Manager. I have Home Up running, but the part that annoys me is the Recent App shortcuts. They appear to be randomly generated, and the icons are horrific and cartoony. I just don't like it.
Is there an alternative or way to just turn the recent app shortcuts off? Screenshot attached for clarity.
Home up, task changer, disable "hide search bar"
Enter recents, three dots menu in search bar, settings, disable "show recommended apps"
Now you can hide search bar again

I actually discovered that RIGHT as I got a notification of your reply.
Big thanks for chiming in.
While I still generally think One UI < Oxygen, with enough tweaks, I can deal.
Question for you OP. How'd you get home up working while using Nova. None of the settings seem to stick when changing task manager using goodlock homeup when move is set to default.

there is a recent update to One UI Home that fixed that issue for me with lawnchair.
if youre not getting it through samsung, you can sideload it from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...rience-home-touchwiz-home-12-1-05-11-release/
you also may or may not have to update home up.

Thanks that worked! Looking clean now. I also hated the suggested apps at the bottom. I use a higher dpi and that was not affected by the dpi change. So it looked even worse on my phone. They looked huge compared to everything else.

Hi there
I was wondering if there is any way to apply the new homeup with the task changer on one ui 2.5 or any other good lock plugins for that matter
Samsung is only updating them for android 11 and was really hoping to get them on my phone
BTW I have a note 9 so no updates for me

you can simply disable stock launcher by launching this commands with adb :
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.bbk.launcher2
but Navigation Gestures problem can't fix. You can fix Launcher problem sure

It's working in rooted mobile with quick switch magisk module previously I have OnePlus 5 it's woring fine with this method.
I got it to work on my non-rooted Vivo X60 Pro+ even when im using nova launcher, it took quite awhile to set it properly
I've replicated my steps twice and both times work for me
0) Start from the default system launcher
1) Go to Settings > Security & Privacy > More security settings > Replace the system launcher and toggle it
2) The phone will ask you to login to your vivo account. I had to create one, might as well cause its needed for the e-warranty card
3) Once you're in, enable "Allow the launcher to be replaced" and ensure the "Tap the home button to lock the system home screen" is disabled
4) Head back to Settings > System navigation and reselect the Navigation mode of your choice
5) Go back to your home and open the "Interaction Pool" app, which came with your phone by default. This will launch the 3 screen overlays. Close the app once you're done
6) Launch Nova launcher and use it to select Nova Launcher as the default launcher from the grey warning (!) message above
if (6) did not work,
7) go to Settings > Application and Permissions > Permission management > Permissions tab (on the top header) > Default app settings.
8) set the Home Screen to Nova Launcher
You should be able to use the swipe navigation gestures

Friend, it worked perfectly, you don't know how your comment helped me

Question Origin OS launcher and icons ?

Hey guys,
So I just got myself a Vivo X Fold and I'm loving it. The OS feels so good but I was wondering if there was a way to change the icons ? Or even the launcher ? I can install other launchers but somehow can't find a way to set it to default. When I go back home it's still the stock launcher. I wouldn't mind it if I could change the icons but yeah.
Any help would be appreciated !
Thanks and have a nice day.
no and no.. no need to thank me, follow me for more tips.
This option only appears if you have created and signed into your Vivo account:
Go to Settings / Privacy / More Security Settings and toggle "allow alternative launcher". Make sure you go into the privileges for the new launcher and set it to autostart and go into battery and set it for high battery usage.
Hi, i just tried to do that with the launcher, what frcraig said, and it still goes back to the factory launcher. I created vivo account, logged in, allowed alternative launcher, set nova as default launcher and applied the battery savings settings, autostart, etc. Any other ideas?
actually i just went back in and unselected tap the home button to lock the system home screen and now it works!

Thanks a lot, it worked ! I can finally change my icons and launcher !
What alternative launchers out there support two separate screen layouts?
Or... like the stock Vivo launcher, show only one-half of the unfolded screen on the external one.

If I'm not mistaken the same place where the option to allow the launcher to be replaced is. It appears after you enable the first one.

Did you find an alternative? I'd really love to change the icons on mine.

Total Launcher is a good choice. Supports two separate home screens and you can customize everything...
