Can you add shortcuts to the "swipe home key" gesture? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I like dragging it up to access Google Now, but it'd be really nice to drag it left or right to access other functions or apps. Is this possible?
Thanks

Does anyone know if this is a possible tweak?

Quick question about stock launcher.

I cannot figure out how to add a shortcut to the bottom dock on the home screen. I decided to drag the stock internet shortcut to the trash, and know I cannot figure out how to put the dolphin shortcut there.

Figured it out. You have to drop whatever shortcut you want on the home screen, then pick it up again and the dock will be available.

Thanks for sharing! I'm sure it'll be useful for others who have the same question!

i gots ya! here ya go.
go into a blank note or one you want to pin to your homescreen.
once in the note, hit Menu > create shortcut
BAM! shortcut to note on your homescreens
Close, but not exactly what I had in mind. Color note lets you sticky the actual note on the home screen, exposing a preview of what's in the note.

Yes you can...precisely what u want. Go to widgets in the app drawer and look for s-note (page) 4x4 widget. It will then ask u to select a note from the library and will show it as a full page on a home screen. Resizable too I believe.

Recent Apps animation glitch

I'm running the latest XenonHD ROM (4.2.2) and I have a very weird glitch. When I hit the recent apps button for the first time after boot, it functions properly. Any time after that, the same animation that played the first time, plays every time, no matter which app I am coming from. Hopefully my screenshot clarifys what I mean. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, did you fix it and how? Thanks

Can't seem to post a screenshot right now, will try when I get home...

I get that on certain roms as well, and it bothers me to the point where I can't use those roms...
I'd appreciate any insight as well.

Well for the time being, I'm using the old GB style recents menu

How'd you switch the recents style?
Sent from my Mahjong Nexus
It depends which ROM you're on, on XenonHD you just switch the 3rd nav button from recents to GB style, in ROM settings under Navbar. Then change the icon because the GB one is ugly

[Q] Double tap to unlock like the g2?

I think the double tap to unlock feature on the new g2 is kool... N I know there is an app called touch control for nexas 4.... Is there anything like that that works on our s4....
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Well, after searching for a while Iooks like there is no mod for this on our s4 yet... But we can use hand gesture to turn our fone on or off without using the power key... Or any key.... That's all I was looking for....

I used to love touch2wake and slide2wake on my Galaxy Nexus.
I do miss that feature. Glad you found an alternative, OP.

Is there a quick way to get to home without using the home button?

A gesture or another Shortcut? I tried setting it up using Nova but I couldn't find a way to add the shortcut

I added the side panel which does the job. Wish it had a transparency setting, though. I'll have to look for play store options

I guess I'll be the one the ask, what's wrong with the home button?
Because you can wear out the button? I've had to replace iPhone home buttons for this reason

Doh! Now it's exactly what I want plus with the hiding. Thanks!

I recommend people check out Swipe pad which gives you very easily accessible sets of shortcuts.

I like it. I've switched to that. My only gripe is that I would want to cut down the number of portals that shows up. Sounds like I need to get the add-on for that
