Coming from the Pixel 2XL, the app switcher / task manager had OCR so you could highlight text and copy it from there. Was super useful for getting snippets from Twitter and even images. I thought this was a feature of Android 10 but I guess not. Anyone know if I'm missing a setting or something?
I really miss that pixel launcher feature too.. I'll dig and if find any info post here..

Anyone else have trouble using the contacts button on the dock? It won't work at all for me, and just says failed to launch action.
Also is it possible to just get launcher pro plus in one hit or do your have to d/l it all separate?

No problem here, I added contacts manually, rather than using the default one though (it may be trying to link to the default Android or Sense contacts app).
Long press -> "Change shortcut" -> application -> contacts
Same here, but changed to the original one and worked.

im assuming you're talking about fancy widget which is not part of launcher pro, its a separate apk file that isnt on the market anylonger cause htc were gonna sue them or something. google fancy widget 1.3 and you should get it or if someone can post a link here that would be good also.

Legend!
I am still new to android, and I know it appeared to be a simple fix, but it was not so apparant to me.
Thanks.
btw, is there anywhere in particular to get good custom icons for launcher pro?
I heard a lot of people here talking about Launcher Pro so I read some reviews and saw a few YouTubes of it in action.
I really couldn't see much difference between it and the TouchWiz interface that the I9000 has.
Can someone here tell me the key features it has that TW doesn't have and why you like it so much?
TIA

Customizable dock (look and icons).
Has additional features including static wallpaper, HTC sense preview, etc, etc.
Feels very smooth.
I don't really use it anymore but I used it quite a bit on HTC Magic because it was so customizable. I'll probably use it on my Galaxy S when I can remove touchWiz and switch it with LauncherPro.
Does anyone else use this browser? I just discovered it today and I'm loving it so far. You're able to customize everything from toolbar buttons to the color of the layout. It has 'in tab' history and you can create website shortcuts on your home screen. The quit options are pretty detailed too but I think the most useful function is 'Restore Tab'. Another plus is the ability to take a picture of the whole page, not just what you're currently looking at. Only downside is it doesn't support gesture typing and there are ads in the history and bookmark pages, but I think those can be overlooked seeing as you're able to customize everything to fit your desire.

Direct call shortcut does not work added to the picture. Other shortcuts are working without problem.
Ideas, advice? Excuse my English. :crying:
thank you.

I can confirm this on my Nexus 4. I'm not 100% sure but my theory is, that because Zooper doesn't have the "CALL_PHONE" permission it is not allowed to initiate a call without going through the dialer (Source). I have no experience in this but since even launcher have that permission, it might be needed for an app to use the direct call shortcuts. You should probably write an email to the developers and explain your issue.
Emailed Zooper Dev
I've got a rooted Galaxy Note 3, is it possible to edit any file to provide this permission until the dev sorts it for us?
In the meantime, I've created a flow in Automagic, that I launch from the Zooper widget to provide a direct call option.

Re
Somehow I do not understand. Could you provide the download?
You need an app called Automagic https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.gridvision.ppam.androidautomagic

Another option is to just change the icon to something you want. Upload your out image or use some icon that you like. I use Nova as my launcher on my Galaxy S3 Progre, created a direct call widget, and then changed the image to what I wanted it to be. Just a work around if you're interested.
Can anyone help me, not sure if this is possible but thought id ask.
Anyway to change the layout of albums in gallery?
Anyone know how to get rid of this annoying notification?
Anyway to change the layout of bookmarks in the stock browser?
Anyway to have the phone open up directly to the dialer? Its extremely annoying searching for a contact thru the search with the extra step.
Anyway to get rid of youtube adds without being rooted. I dont want to pay for their subscription.
Anyway to have the backround on home screen switch randomly to selected pictures?
Anyone recommend a simple task killer? I was using the stock one from samsung on my note 4 but cant find it anywhere.
Anyone know how to change the edge color of choice to an assigned contact?
Again not sure if there is anyway to do this cause i havnt found a way, but maybe someone else has found a way.

I will try that thank you.
Anyone else? Would be much appreciated.
The keyboard notification should be killable by looking pressing the notification and disabling notifications for the keyboard. Works for the Google keyboard. Don't know about Samsung/others.
This links to a system wide add blocker. In theory it should catch everything. I pay for All access/YouTube Red, so i can't tell you if it blocks those ads but seems to work elsewhere.

With the phone, you can just push dialer button instead of searching and it supports old school T9 (?) text entry to quickly get to a contract as well. Didn't see a setting to go straight into it though. You might be able to do it with a Nova activity. I'm sure a third party dialer app or maybe even a widget would be able to do it too.
For the task killer, I just use Android's built in app switcher if I need to close anything. Swipe away individual apps or close all with one button.
Not sure I understand your "edge color of choice"question, but you can assign contacts to the five provided colors if you're talking about "people edge".
Hope this helps.
Peace All...
Is there a way or mod to change the chat bubble colors of Samsung's Messages from that God awful green? I heard of Hex Installer, but you have to take on the whole entire theme. I just want to change chat bubble colors ---> and I do NOT want to use a 3red party text messaging app.
Any one know of anything that might be able to do this??

Bump, I would also like to know.
Use MOOD
Far superior to Samsung Messages and that damned Google Message app that used to be good
Try it out, you can customize bubbles, text, backgrounds (per thread!) and much more.

That app (which you didnt name) might be "far superior" than Samsung's Messages, but I have no desire to switch to it, I would prefer to keep using Samsung Messages.
But Thanks anyway

How about naming that app??
It's Mood (or mood messenger). I've used Textra, Google message, and many others. I think this is the most customizable
Anyone know a caller / Messaging combo app that supports dual sim, so it can remember the default sim for each contact.
Also the samsung messaging app, if i copy a text, then i get another window to copy the txt again which is annoying

I get what your saying about the copy. The key is using the s pen. Hold down the button and then select. Only three small dialog box will pop up.

A small update for anyone who cares....
I've moved on to another SMS app called Pulse. It allows texting both on your phone and desktop simultaneously so you can text at work and on the road.. saves my thumbs tbh. Mood is still a little more customizable but pulse is still pretty damned customizable as well and the multi platform access is a current winner for me.
I know no one asked, just thought I'd share.
Cheers, XDA!
