Nova launcher + BlinkFeed ? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to run move launcher but still be able to access blink feed ? It says I have the app downloaded but I can't run it from nova

You can't because BlinkFeed is the Launcher.

Ahh ok. I thought it was just the news feed widget

im sure you can..check youtube...you can set it as a gesture like double tap home screen..go to gesture controls for nova..select which one you want to use,select shortcut i think..go to activitites then find blinkfeed..find blinkfeed launcher and asign it to gesture...or you could leave shortcut on homescreen

Yep got it work but need to already be on the Blinkfeed.

A few months ago i saw an app on market, which lets you open blinkfeed in any launcher. But i couldnt remember its name now. It was something like htc link.

No need when the launcher can do it already. I have it as a swipe up gesture to show it.

nope except that you can replace the app drawer in sense using an app...
...
Thanks for quick answer but I dont need to change app drawer Need something for homescreen
Not sure but if you could figure out what the intent is to call rosie (sense app drawer) then you could possibly create a LauncherPro shortcut to open it? Any smali gods out there know if this would be possible?

That's pretty much exactly what I am doing. I use Apex Launcher as my launcher, but I have a shortcut created by xShortcuts that launches Rosie for the photo widget. Unfortunately, I don't think you can call a specific screen - you can only call the launcher itself.

Yup that's the way it is possible but man that's pretty much time you loose by opening sense just for having these sense widgets.
And you have 2 launchers running then since sense will be only killed when you reboot again.
Dunno for what you want that sense widgets but I would look at play store and see if there is a alternative widget which maybe has even a themeable skin?!

I've been looking for a replacement widget for the HTC album widget for a couple years now and have never found anything. If anyone around here knows of one, I'd love to use it!

I used Go Launcher for a while, and it has great Messaging and Email widgets... really everything Sense has, EXCEPT the photo widget.

Well my last tip for you is launcher pro.
There has been a launcher pro which was skinned like sense. But dunno if it had that widget...
There was a Rom for the hd2 that's why I know that one.

Place widgets anywhere [REQ]

Hi all,
I am looking to customise my Google Nexus 7 theme but one thing I find very frustrating is the widgets push one another about.
Is anyone able to advise of an app that allows them to overlap/be put where I want?
Thanks
Try Nova launcher
+1, Nova Launcher allow this to ahppen, even allows you too place them onto when your adding a widget to homescreens.

I use ssLauncher as it allows complete control over placement and lots more.

[Q] [Zooper/Nova] Adding appdrawer shortcut to widget.

I am creating my personal theme with Zooper Pro and Nova launcher.
There is one thing i can't find how to do it. I'd like to add a shortcut to the app drawer (of Nova) as an onTap-action for my widget.
The reason for this is that i'd like to get rid of the Nova dock.
How can i do this?
Hi,
Choose Nova Launcher from Shortcuts, you are then presented with a list of Nova actions, App Drawer being one of them.
Regards Mark.

Sorry to hijack but can this feature be done with Themer launcher? I keep looking in the list of shortcuts but for the life of me I cant seem to find how to do it.

Thanks a lot. Works like a charm now.
I didn't know you get more options when you choose Nova launcher in shortcuts.
@jonnyg1097,
Doesn't Themer use widgets from Zooper to combine them into a theme? Maybe you can add a Zooper widget to your theme.

LG Health app missing?

Hey gang,
I can't find the shortcut to launch the LG Health app. It's NOWHERE to be found on my phone! I know the app is installed as I can access it via the 'G' screen on the left of the home screens. I don't have any apps hidden in the app drawer either.
Can any of you guys see it in your app drawer?
You have use the LG extra page, whatever the name, to see it. You can't start the app itself it seems.

Really?
How rubbish! I won't be using that then.
Thanks
Yeah you can only use the widget at the home screen.
Is there some smart app to create your own shortcut maybe? A lot of LG stuff goes out the window if you start using another launcher.

I've just done that very thing!
I'm using Nova and I've made an shortcut to a Nova 'Activity' which exposes everything the phone can do pretty much.
If you're not using Nova there are apps in the store that will do the same. Smart Shortcuts is one.

Interesting.... Have you found one that gives you access to the Widget 'Smart Notice'?
That is the one widget I would like to use with Nova.
It's also a shame Nova does not give you access to LG Health by means of a separate home screen. Yes you can do as you say, make a shortcut Activity to LG Health but an icon is not the same as swiping to its own widget style home screen!

Post your homescreens here!!!

Show how you rock with your new device with different LAUNCHERS and ICONS
Post the screenshots of your new setup for your device...
Let's see how you Rock...
Not a screen shot but was able to make the wallpaper for it ending out icons ect here we go
Simple, minimal and N.
Matches the mint green robin nicely
Just got the phone yesterday, loving the size! Not done yet but here are 2 screenshots, one is the stock launcher and the other is nova. Nova is plain I know but I hate change and have been using this layout for years.
I really like the stock launcher I wish I could theme the other icons to match. I like the mint green.

Is there any way to get a clean desktop on the Robin without changing launchers? I like to use photos of my family and pets as wallpaper but am stumped by the lack of an app drawer on the stock launcher.
Nova Launcher screenshot attached.

Sorry, I don't know how to do that on the stock launcher.
It's difficult for me to use the stock launcher thoughtfully.
Nova Launcher
Praos Icon Pack
Chronus Forecast with Marshmallow Weather Icons
Nova Search Widget
Sleep as Android Alarm and Sleep Tracking Widget
Each icon on the desktop and dock is a folder matching a folder in the app drawer; each one corresponds to a category of app. A tap opens the first, or most used, app in each folder, and all other apps are available with a swipe.

How did you get those icons next to Google search/Weather? Sleep Tracking widget?

They're from Sleep as Android. One displays the next alarm time, and the other activates the app's sleep tracking features. All I did to get them there was I enabled widget overlap in Nova Launcher, and then I placed them. You have to kind of finagle the widget sizes to get that spacing, but it's not hard.
