[Q] Easy access to notifications? - HTC One X

Hi,
Sometimes opening the notifications result in sliding to next screen or simply missing pulling down the notifications area.
Does anybody know of an app or mod to open notifications via button (e..g long press on home button) or shortcut?
Regards, Jens
Running ARHD 18.0

Try apex launcher, it let's you assign taps or swipes to different actions. I've got double tap to bring down my notifications

Add widgets to the Sense Lockscreen??

I love the ring lockscreen, but the 'productivity' version leaves so much to be desired, it would be awesome to have whatsapp and facebook notifications without having to give up the ring, is that possible?
Try widgetlocker.

Yeah, Ian looking for something like that too. Widgetlocker is not the proper solution for that

Locker
Try MIUI Locker

Actually it now has a ring option, and I use it for just that reason - with whatever widgets I like. It also allows up to 6 apps above the ring, so in some ways its an improvement
The only downside is that you can't get the sexy HTC weather widget, or the rather nice music widget that appears on the HTC version, but I guess perfection is too much to hope for

For stock Sense 4.x this one is closest to perfect: Virtuous Widgets

Mod Long Press Menu Button to Open Recent Apps (Multitasking)

Hi.
I've seen some threads about mods for the menu button but never ending with a flashable zip.
I really like the CM10 feature of customising the long press of the capacitive menu button. I make it show my recent apps and that way I don't have to press the hardware home button.
Has anyone found a zip with this mod? It would be great to be able to use it with any Rom. Right now I'm on WanamLite JB and would like to add this feature to this Rom.
Thanks.
Not possible to use cm10 feature on samsung rom
《swagged from aokp》
I've seen a zip that allows the on screen buttons of the nexus and I tried it. It's not perfect but I though something similar could be done with a zip that tweaks the menu button.
I'm not talking about bringing the CM10 feature to stock Rom, but maybe doing something similar to the on screen buttons could work?

Hi,
It's possible with an alternative launcher like Nova Launcher (and maybe Apex Launcher too)...
But if you don't want use another launcher... Actually there is no mod for this as far as I know.

I AM using Nova Prime. But please explain what a launcher has to do with our hardware menu button?
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
The nova launcher is not what we are looking for. We need this feature everywhere on the system, not just in the launcher and home screen.
CM10 has this feature enabled. There must be a way to extract it from there and install it on a Samsung rooted rom.
If we can flash a zip to enable on screen home buttons like the nexus then I'm sure it's possible to flash a zip just to mod the long press of the capacitive menu button to act like multitasking.

Nova Launcher

Anyone with Nova Launcher installed notice that sometimes when backing out of apps, it returns to the Touch wiz home screen instead of Nova Launcher? By pressing the home button, it does navigate to the Nova Launcher home screen, but it gets annoying after awhile. I did choose the option to make Nova Launcher my default, so not sure if there is another option I need to change.

I think it has nothing to do with Nova launcher, as I have seen it happen in Apex too. I remember reading some Samsung (?) apps on the Note do that in Android 4.3.
I had this problem with Kaiten Mail. I know the effect from Kaiten which on the last back returns to the first app and not to the last app. This was already the case on my Note 10.1
Setting Nova as default launcher and rebooting stop at least calling the system launcher, as Nova is then the first app started.

Thanks. A reboot seems to have done the trick. It's funny since I've had this tablet for almost a week and never had to reboot it like my old Xoom which I had to do every couple of days to clear up slowdowns .

Once I install Nova Launcher, I actually freeze TouchWiz Home with Titanium Backup (along with a bunch of other Sammy/TW apps I don't use). That way it never bothers me again.

HTC One m8 Blink Feed and launchers

Hey guys just picked up my HTC one m8 and I love it so far. I've bought almost every single launcher in the past 2 years for all of my android devices. I love using blink feed but I can't seem to use it when I put a launcher on. Does anyone have a quick fix for this or is it a common problem.

There was a workaround to get it to work with Nova launcher at the Verizon M8 side if I remember correctly. It had something to do with Nova launcer action shortcuts etc.

Yes choose shortcuts then activities scroll down to HTC BlinkFeed (expand that) Chose the one that says HTC BlinkFeed launcher. That shortcut will take you to the blinkfeed launcher. Just make sure you have that on the blinkfeed page so every time you go to that shortcut blinkfeed will show up.
shortcut option
Another option if u don't want the BlinkFeed shortcut icon cluttering ur home screen is to bind the HTC BlinkFeed shortcut activity to one of the home screen gestures in nova settings. U can also customize it so if u press the home button while on ur default home screen it'll take u to ur BlinkFeed page. I personally like this option the most cause it allows u to switch back and forth between ur nova home screen andbur BlinkFeed page simply by taping the home button which will toggle u back and forth depending on what screen ur on. Just go into nova settings, under gestures, click the home button option and under shortcuts/activities/htc BlinkFeed select the "Launcher" activity then make sure u check the box that says "only on default home screen" and then bam, ur in business. Hope this helps.

[Q] Looking for Lockscreen Widget (Weather)

Hi,
I have a rooted N5X with Stock Rom 6.0.1.
Is there an app to set a small weather at the lockscreen?
Tried it with Chronus and C Locker with no effect.
Thanks
Koetermann
That is built into most custom roms. You might want to try one.
Thanks for your answer, but I would like to stay on Stock ROM.
Testing C Locker right now. But it's not easy. Can't unlock with Fingerprint.

the only thing I can recommend is using xposed + [APP][Xposed][L-M] Lock screen widgets
you can use any widget, any size/dimension. it's quite confusing at first but you'll get the hang of it.
