For some odd reason, most probably updating google apps, im now getting the "the complete action using" notification more often. Even during a slide up action to open google now brings me that notification and i have choice to replace the slide up option to activate my screen off app.
But im wondering once i set an app as "always" open using it, how do i change it later ?
You can choose again if you "Clear defaults" on the currently active app under the apps menu in settings.

Your right. It is actually a feature of that screen off app :good: rather than anything to with updating google apps.

For those of you who dont like the SenseUI...
Last night i was playing around with my brother's new galaxy and installed aHome Lite (free from android market) to gain extra screens for him to use. I then decided out of curiosity to install it on my hero (this will probably work on all ROMs but i have a pre-rooted 2.73.405.5 ROM ala Modaco just for the record)
Those who have used open home or ahome will know that after installation the the home key brings up the option to choose what home panel to use, same thing happens with the hero but not only does it bring up TouchFLO and aHome options but also the standard Home option.
Simply uninstall aHome and your stll left with the to remaining options, 'Home' and 'TouchFLO'. By clicking on 'Home', you will get the default android home screen, simply kill the TouchFLO process in Taskiller (once inside the default Home interface) and voila
I'm not sure this has already been discovered...if so mods please delete this thread.
Peace.
i want to customize the app/dialog which is displayed when pressing home key (normally touchflo starts, but as we can see this can be modified).. any1 knows how to?
go into settings->Applications->Manage. Scroll down to TouchFLO and go into it then click on "Clear Defaults". Now press home button and it'll give you the option to choose which one to go to and you can also tick the "Use this as default" or whatever it says.
thx but this is not what i meant.. i have another app, which should be displayed after a long press on the home key..

longpress home only shows recently started apps. i don't think there is a way to modify that behavior yet.
for those using multiple home apps i would recommend Home Switcher. useful little app
But surely the recently started apps are also the currently running ones too
I'm just thankful the press and hold of Home actually does what it should now and act as a switcher.
It still acts as "apps currently running" for me.

I would like to try this, see what the Hero looks and runs like with standard Android interface.
If I do, and I want to return to the standard Hero setup, do I just reselect "Use this as default" when selecting TouchFlo after pressing the home key?
there must be the ability to change the behaviour of long pressing home key, since at least on rooted phones everything at software level can be modified..

Yup, thats right. If you do find u have accidentally set the Android interface as default, just clear the default the same way you had with the TouchFlo from the 'Manage Applications' menu.
Peace.

How do you know and why there are always max 6 of them ? You think, but for sure this is a list of last used applications ... try to kill some of them and see the list - they are still there.
What I was thinking is a "short home press" usage, which has no function if you are already at "home" ...
Actually I wanted to write "apps recently run".
People claiming they changed it to "apps currently running" with the new update but I am not sure if that's the case.
I'd like to set the long press of my Search navigation button to "Voice Search" by Google but I'm not seeing it in my app drawer. Only way to pull it up is to search, then hit the mic button.
I tried TiBackup to uninstall it but it never gets removed, possibly because it's a system app?
I then reflashed the gapps zip through CWM but nothing changed.
It doesn't show up in the app drawer. Ever.
i'm trying to set up my long press search button (in navigation bar) to bring up Voice Search. i swore i was able to do it before, but i'm not sure what changed, i've messed around with a bunch of ROMs, kernels and launchers since that time haha.
AOKP, Slim, and liquid can do this.
oh yeah, i'm on AOKP but the problem is that Voice Search doesn't come up as an avaialble app/shortcut
Is it installed?
"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
yup, when in Google Play, it says "Installed" next to it. I can also use it when I click on the mic during searches. But no way for me to find it to select it as ana pp.
Easy. Just install nova launcher. If you have nova launcher installed (just installed, you don't even have to actually use it) it puts voice search in your shortcuts list. Select "nova launcher" from the list of shortcuts and then a menu will pop up where you select voice search.
Mine used to be that way, but now it shows in the app drawer. Which i think is annoying. Im stock takju never rooted or unlocked. Kinda bummed it shows up now

I installed Nova Launcher, but I have no clue what you're referring to do. Could you please explain how to assign Google Voice Search to open when long pressing the Search button? Please? =)
On the jelly bean leak there is a motion called double tap and i was wondering how it works. Apparently in supposed to tap the top of my device? But when i do that it never works. Am i doing it wrong?

You must first enable the function under a menu in the setting called something like "Motion". When you have done that you choose which "motions" should enabled. All the double-tap does is take you to the top of a list. Whooaa!!

Yeah I know it takes me to the top of the page. It's enabled and everything but everytime I double tap the top of my device nothing happens.
According to the "Learn About Motion" in the motion setting page. It only works on contact lists, email list or email.

With the G2 you could swipe up from the button and acces quickmemo.
There's only a google search option with the G4, any way to change this?

Not that I've found. there are two other good options:
1) Add QuickMemo+ to your quick shortcuts in the notification panel
2) add a shortcut to your lock screen
This should work.
Settings > Apps > (Menu) Reset Default Apps
Clear whichever one it is, and redo the action and you should get an option to reassign + some other options
Mine gives me the option to call out a tasker task or greenify screen off+lock which is what I do so i can turn the screenoff even from a full screen app without using the button on the back.
Hey Guys,
So I Wanted To Use The App "Applock" but found out it needs the "apps with usage access" setting which is not in the lg default settings. Is there a possible way of getting this setting back in stock rom?
P.s I've tried nova and apex launcher but couldnt find it
Thx,
MrFalky
The only way I know of accessing it is through Nova launcher. Long press the home screen and select Widgets. Locate the Activities widget, and drag it to your home screen. When the Activities menu opens, scroll down to and select Settings. When the Settings menu expands, scroll down to and select "Apps with usage access". You can then select and add Applock to the list of apps w/ usage access.

Hey,
I feel really blind. I cant seem to find it in the "settings" tab in the nova activites. Does it start with "apps with usage access" or is it for ex Settings apps with usage access? Could you please take a screenshot?
Srry for disturbing you
Thx,
MrFalky
Sure, here you go...
