I have added an icon on taskbar to show a status, but after I open some apps. it hide some words. I tried to use SHNotificationAdd, but the left softkey of today screen becomes notification. I give up.
Can I add icon on menubar?
thanks!
I tried to find window MS_SOFTKEY_CE_1.0 and create a static on it, then in home screen it will be OK.
But in other application I should add new one.
Is there a way to add once and it shown in every toolbar?
I have seen a DELL ppc with querty keyboard show the key state on the menu bar. How did they do?
Hey, I'm trying to find some custom widgets (specifically, a more useful audio/music player widget, and possibly a hack to remove the Garbage icon from the Edit Layout screen). I've had no luck so far. Does anyone know of anything I can try?
For the audio/music player widget, I would love something that's more responsive (the buttons on the default widget seem to require a very firm push, not just a tap), and maybe additional buttons to show a minimal playlist, or to start your default music player, etc.
For the garbage icon, I would love to be able to put more icons on the bottom of the screen, but every time I try, it just goes to the garbage, no matter how carefully I try to move them. The garbage icon really isn't needed, since you can just click any icon and hit delete, so I don't know why they put it there at all.
Also, something that's been annoying me...when I lock my phone, the "unlock" bar appears across the bottom of the screen, covering up part of Mobile Shell...it just looks really ugly. Anyone know of any kind of fix for this?
Thanks for any help/advice guys.

One of it's features:
• Add or remove the recycle bin in the edit menu’s
I'm very happy with that ...

Will this theme work with the newest 1.19 version of TL?
i'm running it on 1.1.10

Ok i will try it with 1.1.19 and report if it works.
Ok, first report:
The taskbar looks not very good, see screen shot of the home page.
The programs page is very hard to scroll, it overshoots always and one has to scroll up and down to get to the program. One can only scroll over the program tabs and also to stop scrolling, so it is very often the case that a program is unwanted launched. It would be better if there was the possibility to scroll on the side of the program tabs.
On the other pages the regular windows taskbar is shown.
That is all for the moment... i am still playing with it. I love the look of this theme, really. Thanks for this.
thanks for the fb - the artifacts could be a result of the rom you are using. i have had that appear once or twice since upgrading to 6.5 but it does tend to disappear?

Yes you were right, it has disappeared now.
I sense a bigger battery drain, but i am not sure if it is due to TL itself.
Also i think the sliding from one page to the next or the opening of a page through the buttons could be a bit faster.
Otherwise this theme just rocks.
Are you DaceC?
This theme is amazing and your best work, I tested on my Imagio and it works very good.
I always recommend to use Standalone mode with TL instead of plugin today, it works better.
congratulations!!
Yes I am DaveC ironically I hadn't intended to get so involved with TL when I registered so decided to use mix up my name. Now im stuck with two names.
I have never actually tried standalone mode - will have to give it a go.
While I am not personally a fan of the theme style, I must say that I am impressed. Very good job sir. Keep it up!

If you are using stanalone mode, just delete the "Background" path if you have one.

you have to go into the subsystems and hailing freqencies and set to vibrate or sound off at the moment.
i could probably add a switch to the config file that will mute the theme sounds but not the phone sounds for 1.1

Go to ThrottleConfig then click on "theme-standalone-Background" be sure is empty if not click on the text and leave it in blank.

If you are running as a today page try in standalone.
What device resolution are you using? i think for thr W version I could space the icons out a little more but in the mean time you can press and hold to scroll up or down in blocks without it actually selecting the item you have pressed.

I have the same device as you Omnia i900, WQVGA.
Ok scrolling like that works better.
I have seen that sometimes i have to restart TL as it becomes sluggish and unresponsive.
Will try to use as standalone, i only need to see how to exit TL programatically, as i use a switcher to switch between Titanium, TouchFLO, MobileShell and TL.
that must make for a huge memory overhead
Hi, newbie here trying to find out if it’s possible to turn an android phone into a fast desktop type multitasker. Was told I need a combination of AOSP ROM + eXposed, +Tasker +plugins, and a launcher like Lightning Launcher Extreme. so trying to assemble a list of things I’ll need, and find out if it’s even possible or not to achieve these tasks. In priority sequence:
1) Add as many as 15 buttons to nav bar. would love to change the size and more impornt spacing maybe even location of each button.
2) Optional (ability to lock some of the buttons across the board so lets say, on left side I have a locked home and back button, btu the ones on the right I can swipe left or right and move the nav bar buttons just like on Xtended NavBar app , so it’s kind of like a split nav bar.
Is it possible to add specific functions to each nav bar button I create:
3) Three zoom buttons, one with preset zoom %, so I click it once it zooms in to my preset % I click it second time zoom out must be able to preset the % of zoom somewhere. The other two zoom buttons are regular zoom in and out by increments (if possible preset increments as well per each click)
4) Multitask, instead of resent app, where it shows my open apps as smaller windows, I’d rather switch between them in full screen view, so the navbar recent app button must be mapped to simply switch between all open apps in rotation with each click.
5) Copy/ paste/ cut / undo / 4 buttons, not sure if it needs mapping in each app I use or universal, if each app, can it be done in Firefox or any other web browser, and in Microsoft office or any other office program so when I highlight text I can use these buttons, just like they normally would work in desktop versions?
6) 4 arrow keys, this is for Microsoft excel to shift quickly between cells so in each direction. Or as scrolling in web browser in all 4 directions.
7) search button, same concept as copy paste only once I highlight a text this button will search the net for highlighted text not sure if it’s possible to do from office app as well.
8) Now this is a tricky one, is it possible to automate the nav bar buttons, so if I had 10 or more buttons in total, they can’t fit the screen obviously, os once I open a certain app, the nav bar would move left or right depending on my app, so lets say I open an office app, the cut/paste /undo are automatically in front of me, if I open a excel then the arrow keys are in front……and so on
9) Is it also possible to remap volume keys in certain apps, so lets say I open excel, I have space in my nav bar only for 4 arrow keys, so in this case the volume buttons would become copy/paste.
If some could list the ROM, which launcher, specific modules, specific takser plug ins that could accomplish this or some things, well in an optimized way so I’m not running 15 apps for each request, then I will research each one individually.
Sorry for the long post.
Cheers
I have honestly never heard of such things...
And I think (having owned a Note 3 and now a Nexus 5) that the closest you can ever get to such multitasking experience is to own a Galaxy Note 4, with all the S-Pen functionality that's been added so that it'll work like a mouse on a computer. I know this may not add a lot to your cause; it's just what my knowledge offers.
Well for a newbie the confusion comes to me from not understanding the fundamentals of the android, what things are in the core and what things are on top as a layer? So for example if there is a back button on most phones that’s a fundamental core feature, does that mean it will be easy to add a forward button, so this way I’m compromising on my number 4) request and trying to go more a long the lines of android fundamentals.
As for the note 4 if it does add some mouse like functionality it’s only 50% since some things are faster via keyboard shortcuts rather then a mouse.
The problem I see is too many menus, so you select a text even with an s pen you must open a menu then select a copy, then open another app where you want to paste it in a specific location first you must zoom in that means turn the pen away and zoom then turn the pen towards another menu to open so you can select paste… The pen only has one or two buttons so if it has the zoom buttons I can’t paste quickly with a pen, if it has the paste buttons then I need to use my fingers to zoom in again turning my hand back and forth
way too many menus and not very productive way of working in trying to accomplish a small task of coping a text in one app and pasting in another in specific location. As you can see I’m trying to combine both mouse and keyboard shortcuts into one nav bar button this is to overcome the shortcomings of a small size screen and lack of keyboard and mouse of course.
I realize maybe the whole goal of android was never geared towards my way of thinking, but if it’s open source platform and as I see it there are many things that can be changed compared to a more closed system, it’s how difficult to do it only a programmer will understand, a I’m not a programmer. So I’m here trying to get some answers.
Cheers
Hi guys,
So I was really hiped to see how amazing the S6 would be and got very dissapointed with it (no microsd, removable battery, 40% less features, not water resistant at least and much more **** things about it). But despite all the drawbacks, there are, of course, some good things about it too. So here're some features that you can get on your S5 with some simple apps and configurations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edge Lighting (it actually works when phone is not on a flat surface)
1. Download Edge Color Notifications.
2. Open it and select the blue options in the center top called "Select contact specific color". From there you're able to set different colors for each of your contacts. If you tap on the 3-dots at the top right and then on "PhoneCall options", you're gonna be able to change the default color for unknown calls, column width and animation type.
3. There are other extra settings as well, but you'll need to check them out by yourself as I only use the S6 Edge ones I mentioned above
4. Enjoy your Galaxy S5 Edge .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S6 Camera Launch by double pressing the Home button whereever you are (except on lockscreen, but we have widget for that)
1. Download a very old but very handy app from 2011 called Home2 Shortcut.
2. Open it and do everything as I tell you below -->
-where it says --Step1-- select the "Choose App" button and select your camera app.
-on step2 you can change the response and while they say to leave it at normal, mine is at "very very short" and it's actually better for me. Play with this a little.
-step3, select TouchWiz launcher.
-on step4 press the close button as it's written in the app and choose Home2 Shortcut as your default launcher and click "Always".
3. Now when you double press the Home button while your phone is unlocked the camera is gonna launch just like on the S6 (Edge).
Tip : You know how the Galaxy S6's camera is always in standby mode and ready, but doesn't show up in the recent apps list so you don't clear it by hitting clear all. Well I found a ...bug? maybe.. and am able to do the same on my S5. Follow below steps to try and get it working -->
*Whenever you restart or turn your phone on you need to launch the camera from the lockscreen shortcut and then press home button and unlock your phone.
*Now double press Home to launch camera and again press Home to go to your homescreen.
*Now when you double press Home again camera is gonna launch. But when you press Home to close it, it won't show up in the recent apps list.
*Sometimes it doesn't work from the 1st time so do the TIP steps a couple of times until you get it to work.
*Sometimes toggling HDR on/off "fixes" the bug and camera shows up in recents again. Repeat TIP steps to "bug" it again
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People Edge (works with no bugs whatsoever, even on lockscreen)
1. Download Drupe.
2. When you open it it's gonna ask for notification read permissions, just grant it that and open app again (if it doesn't open by itself).
3. Inside the app there will be a quick tutorial to what everything does, check it out.
4. Now ,after the tut is gone, you're going to see some of your contacts listed on the screen. You can long hold a contact and remove it by dragging it to the bottom of the page where a little "x" will appear at the left side. Tap the "+' button to add more of your contacts to "Favourites" (starred).
5. On the bottom right there is a settings icon, click it and see below steps -->
-Default View - changes view when app is started. Can be "Favourites" or "Recents".
-Applications - tap to open menu. Hold on the 3-lines at the right and drag apps up or down. Apps which are more coloured will show up on the main screen, those below will not. You can assign E-Mail, FB, WhatsApp and so on to each of your contacts. All of those, one swipe away!
-Theme - changes colour of the transparent background of the app.
-Lock Screen - choose look on the lockscreen, "Dots" is the best, 'cause with the others if you tap on the lockscreen, app shortcut is gone. "Dots" doesn't go away, ever.
-Contacts Suggestion - this will add frequently called contacts which are not in your "Favourites" right under them.
-Vibration - guess what it does
-Email Signature - adds a "Sent via drupe" text under each email you sent using the app.
-Thumb Swipe - with this enabled, no need to swipe all the way to the app you wanna use. Just start swiping towards it and you'll see a highlighted line leading to the app which you can drag to other apps. Extremely useful when operating with just your thumb.
-Orientation - changes location of the contacts and apps. Can be left or right.
6. There's a "Search" bar on the main screen.
7. There's also a dialer on the main screen's bottom left side.
8. If you swipe right on the main screen, you'll see either "Favourites" or "Recents" (depending on which of the two you have set as your default screen when you open the app).
9. Long hold on the 3 dots, which when swiped, access the app, to place them anywhere on the screen by dragging them around.
10. Bare in mind that if you swipe to call from your lockscreen, you'll still need to unlock the phone for calling to take effect. This just saves you the trouble of going to the Phone app and calling from there.
PS : App may ask you for your email and fb account when you 1st start it. Just once though, once you're done it won't bother you anymore!
