Is there any way to change the icon for the app drawer?
Also, when I try assigning an icon to the camera, it says the camera isnt installed.
I'm using bettercut, and I can get other things to work, I just think I'm selecting the wrong camera from the "Activities" list. I can select the camera from the app drawer and it works fine, or I can drag the the camera from the app drawer to the home screen and it works fine. Obviously I havnt uninstalled it. Which camera do I have to pick from the activities list that will work?

Camera shortcut/app missing

Drunk friend tried to remove the camera app shortcut from the home screen... instead it is now completely missing from the app list as well. If you look under settings and applications it is listed, but the font is darker compared the apps above and below it. Is it disabled?

Qslide problems

I somehow removed some apps from qslides list of available apps to use. Quick memo is not in the list but quick memo is on the phone. I can use it if launched from app drawer. But launching it from quick settings or hitting the qslide button while in full screen it goes to the floating window and disappears. Also the phone app is in the qslide menu. When i try to use it, it the flosting window pops up but disappears. All was working fine before.
Has anyone run into this problem?
Any suggestions?

I guess quick memo was never in the qslide list even though it is a qslide app. its right there in the quick settings.
fixed the other problem with it some things not staying on float window by unchecking don't keep activities box in the developer options.
When I try to use my qslide messaging app, it opens the box coverin almost my entire screen, and I do not have access to the send button. So i have to blindly get to the real messaging app on my phone, open it so the qslide box goes away...HELLPPP
If you can't see the lower right corner of the window to resize it, tap the QSlide icon at the upper-left corner of the title bar.
Messaging error qslide
The messaging box is from top to bottom, there is no x, no send button, the ONLY way to get out of it is by opening the normal messaging app.
Post a screenshot so we can see what it looks like.

My Qslide is gone. Nothing happens when I swipe down. Has been gradually getting worse. Worked for awhile if I turned screen off and back on. Restarted phone twice. Nothing. Yes my screen is clean.

This app can put an appdrawer on the edge. Great for secondary launchers.

If you want an app drawer on your edge screen use this....

It should of been an option from stock... Just add it to your quicklauunch edge screen.,
It works great with a secondary launcher if you wanna hide the dock on the homescreens.
Note: Hold the menu button within the app to change settings and font.

Thanks! I Just changed dpi to 300 with Xposed App Settings and it looks pretty good too!
Thanks for posting, but the drawer takes forever to load and can't be customized. There are much better options available.

Hi. That's weird. Mine comes up immediately. For customization you need to open the app drawer and then do a long press of recent apps to get to a menu to select settings. Then you can change fonts, background color and such. What are some of the better options available? Always interested in checking out new apps! Unity launcher is nice in that you can set up shortcuts (including floating windows with the use of the app "floating window shortcuts")

I mentioned holding the button in the OP. Thanks for reposting though. Thought it was a bad omission on Samsung's part.
Yeah didn't know about the paid one either, but hey its what this forums for, right? Mine is quick as well. Easy to customize.
I'am looking for a way that i can make on my home screen 5x5 for my icons.
Is this possible and what i can used for it.?
Ehhh... Is there a way to just have a "system" friendly shortcut icon to launch the app drawer? In other words, I already use a nice launcher app and I like its look and want to just open my app drawer to be the same as when I open it using the android app dock, not having this whole miui layer...
Currently using Next Launcher, but the launcher I use is irrelevant, I just want a system level call to open my normal app drawer rather than have an entire app represent the drawer. Another UI to manage is not what I want, as it is unaware of theme or font changes.
Isn't there a way to simply make a shortcut icon and put it in my edge bar.????????

Have you tried or are willing to use a replacement launcher? I use Next Launcher which lets you control the icon grid spacing both on the home screen desktop and in the app drawer plus let's you have fine pixel resizing of widgets (widgets normally only resize in blocks spaced as wide as your icons, but this app lets you resize widgets pixel by pixel for finer control)
Many launchers also offer this flexibility not just the one I mention. Check them out! I hope I understood your question properly! (Next launcher also let's you change the icon look, the screen transition animation, and many other things. It looks great and is compatible with all themes made for Go launcher. Furthermore, it restores touch wiz's lost wallpaper scrolling function! But like all launchers, it does nothing for the look of the edge bar unfortunately, since the edge bar is basically an unsupported hack on the O.S. which has to be programmed for specifically...)

I agree. I would love nothing more to have a shortcut to my 360 Launcher app drawer on the "Edge". The app drawer app the OP provided is fine in a pinch, but nothing beats the app drawer transitions on 360 Launcher.
I have found a not ideal work around, which is to use the gesture shortcuts in Next Launcher so that whatever homescreen I'm on, I just swipe up to open my app drawer. However my ultimate goal is to be able to open the apps from the edge bar.. Why is this so important?
Because, the whole killer app feature of the edge bar, which I keep stressing to people who ask what the point of it is, is that I can open or switch to other apps from whatever app I'm in without exiting to the home screen first or scrolling through the recent apps.
My workaround still doesn't allow this.. But it DOES allow me to completely hide the dock bar at the bottom and have a FULL screen of widgets on my home screen. Which is pretty
I now have all my most used apps on the edge bar so I no longer need the android app dock on the bottom. It's really pretty and ergonomic.

app draw icon removal?

As we have swipe up to open the app draw it really makes the app draw icon a bit pointless. Is there anyway I'm missing to get rid of this to replace it with an icon for another app etc?
If you go to Settings -> Display -> Home Screen. Under Select Home, you can move the slider on App drawer icon to off
I want the function on as I prefer the slide to open the app draw however I want to remove the app draw icon.
Seems a strange immission by lg
Obviously I can use a third party launcher.

If you turn the app drawer icon off via the slider in settings, you can still slide up the to get to the apps screen. Turning that app drawer icon off does not remove the slide up to get to apps screen.
Go into settings then Display then Home Screen then tap Select Home the select Home and App Drawer then switch the the App Drawer Icon slider to off and then select OK. From there you access the app drawer via sliding up on the home screen.

I don't know about other variants, but the T-Mobile variant has the option to have either Google feed or LG Smart Bulletin or none.

Ah that's a shame , my UK SIM free phone only has the option for smart buliten as far as I can tell which is not great. Would not be so bad if you could add feeds to it like news etc but there seems to be very few options.
I've gone back to nova at the moment until this options becomes available

I don't use either. I just have my 3 personalized screens and I set it for loop. Google Feed and LG Smart Bulletin are too busy for me.

Question How to get rid of Split Screen/Multi-Window?

I've started getting split screen view to appear way too often, without me intending to call it up.
Then when it appears, I can drag the middle bar to the top or bottom to disable it, but then it reappears after a second again. It's really annoying.
Is anyone else experiencing this "feature?" How to disable it?
Does anyone have ideas? I wonder if it has to do with the Nova launcher?
Basically while on a Skype call, for example, I'd try to swipe up to minimize Skype and select another app, but instead of showing a full-screen app with a small Skype window, it goes to split screen.
If I move the middle bar up or down, it usually closes the second screen but within a second it reopens it again. Or closes the second app, but it opens the next app that's in the background.
I can't find a way to simply disable split screen, as I don't like using it on phones.
Swipe into your recent app drawer, then click on the app icon above the window.

This is definitely a Nova Launcher feature - as it isn't an option using the stock launcher. Just a guess, but I imagine you can disable said feature within the Nova Launcher settings.
Happened to mines once and I'm using stock launcher, I was in an app and opened a link on that app and it turned into split screen, I actually found it rather handy
