Is there any way to change the quick launch apps at the bottom of the lock screen or the clock/weather?

The quick launch apps are based on your standard app dock on the bottom. If you want to switch it, you can download a new lock app. I use Holo Locker myself and really like it.

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.

Swipe down home screen for notification panel Tweak?

Is there a tweak or something else so that I can swipe down on home screen to open the notification panel?
Miss that from OnePlus OOS.

Yes. Get a new launcher like Nova and enable gestures

using Nova to make that happen
wish we had double tap to wake too

Would like to stay with Pixel Launcher.
Any possibility with this Launcher?

Probably closest thing you'll get with stock is to enable the gesture to swipe down on the fingerprint scanner.
Might have to look to rooting to do it on screen.

I wouldn't have a problem with rooting my device.
Is there a tweak for rooted devices??

Why not Nova. What is keeping you on pixel. Nova has so much more to offer

Lawnchair launcher is probably the closest thing to stock that you'll gain this functionality with. Plus, it offers to disable the top shadow, which causes black/dark wallpapers to produce gray/distorted lines around the status bar on the stock launcher (and you can't disable it).
Before anyone tells me my device is defective, please try it out for yourself. Just apply the pitch black or gray wallpaper from the wallpaper picker and turn your brightness up. You'll see it.

Android Q Gestures + 3rd party launchers

Been struggling with this lawnchair, nova, and pretty much every launcher i tried disables the gestures and reverts me back to 3 button navigation bar..
Any suggestions?
Funny thing is, it works fine as long as i don't set nova\lawnchair as a default - i can continue using those launchers + gestures.
Why would this funky behavior be?

It's just the way Google programmed it. Ask Google.

My guess is it has to do with the way the new gestures and their animations integrate with the launcher (the app minimizing to the icon on the home screen when swiping up, etc.) and they're working on 3rd party support for that. They said it'd be in a post-launch update, but there's no ETA on that yet.
