[Q] Custom gestures for Sense 5? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone happen to know of an app that would allow me to continue to use the Sense 5 Launcher and have a "swipe down" gesture command that pulls down the Notification Bar? I really want to try and use Sense 5 to at least give it a shot but I also want to be able to swipe down on the home screen to pull down the Notification Bar. (I'm so used to having this ability from other custom Launcher apps that I really don't want to give up that feature). If there's a way to tweak Sense 5 or an app I can install to just enable this one gesture command, I'd be happy. :cyclops:
Thanks to anyone who has any helpful suggestions, it is much appreciated! :fingers-crossed:

No, I'm afraid I couldn't find anything that allowed me to do this. I caved in and put Apex Launcher on my One after realizing I also really needed to be able to use custom icons on my phone. (The default Sense 5 icon for the Phone app is awful (IMHO) and really looked bad with the other icons I have in my Dock).

You could try giving this a go...

Awesome! Thanks buddy!

If you're interested in gesture controls you may want to take a look at gmd gesture control. The app is quite amazing in what you can control by gestures anytime (not just on home).

You can have custom icons if your Rom uses xposed installer, with unicon

[Q] Change the dock shortcuts

Is it possible to change the dock shortcuts?
If so, how?
(i dont want ADW eller launcher pro (paid for both)
Have you tried Go Launcher EX? Completely free, stable and quick. Have it on mine and works a treat. Can then change what apps launch. So I have Opera as my browser, Go Dialer as my phone.
Thx bro, but maby I was not clear enough..
*i DO NOT want any other launcher than the stock one*
(at least until someone can tell me its not possible to change the dock shortcuts )
But thanks anyway, i know and have tried a lot of the homelaunchers, but it just like the stock one, i like the appdrawer where things are sortet in 2 groups, included apps, and downloaded apps.. also arranged alphabeticaly.. makes it much easier to find stuff
its not possible, maybe with some hard coding?
Oh well... ADW it is then

I know what you mean the appdrawer was one of the things I liked about the stock launcher as well.
Go Launcher has the ability to group programs into folders, which makes it easier for me. Doesn't look as nice as stock but works just as well.
Not sure if the other launchers also do this
I'm sure it's possible to change by editing LGLauncher.apk.
I don't have the knowledge or time to look into it though..
I couldn't stop myself having a quick look into the apk.
DockingMenu.smali has a lot of references to some dragging and dropping, did anyone even try draggin new applications onto the dock?
In stock launcher just go into the app list, select edit and drag into the dock whatever app you need.

[SEARCH] Stock Launcher with Folders

Hey guys,
currently, i´m using a rom with stock-themes.
i love the design from the 4 bottom button, but the menu is so bad. is there a mod, to create folders there? i know, GO launcher can create this, but i like the home-button-design from stock more than that.
s, hope you can help me
No, it isn't possible.
The latest Go Launcher has also the possibility of a 4 button bottom and it's very smooth and fast.

hmm.. i don´t only wanna have 4 buttons. i wanna have the lg-theme-buttons i heared about cm7 theme cusor?!
You can replace the dock shortcuts with the LG apps, so you can make nearly the same dock with lg icons.
can you send me a downloadlink for lg-icons? cannot find it
You don't need the icons. You can delete the dock shortcuts and drop the lg apps to the dock.
Try this,mate
sorry i cannot understand you. can you send me a private message in german ?

Trebuchet launcher hide apps

Does anybody know if theres a way to hide apps in the trebuchet launcher app drawer? I know other lauchers like Holo and Nova can do it, but it would be nice if the stock launcher for CM10 could do it too.
Nope. Cant be done.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
Well, thanks for the to-the-point answer.
I figured as the primary launcher for such a customizable ROM like CM10, that might be something they looked into.
Any recommendations on launchers that can do this for free?

But like the androidlost app is able to hide itself from the app drawer, why can't I do that with other apps?

i know iam ressurecting an very old thread but its one of the first results searching for trebuchet and hiding apps in google so i think i shoult write the solution here.
i dont know for 10.0 but in 10.1 it CAN be done
unfortuante its an awefully hidden option
you have to go to setting - launcher - app - hideapps
i knew i saw it today when i walked trough the menus lol
upside it always shows all apps and you can simple toggle on of (unlike samsung touchwiz option)
but sadly the launcher is really the weak point here when it comes to organizing apps

Yeah haha, they finally put it into cm 10.1. That's why this thread died.
To anyone who might still want to hide apps in cm 12. and above ,just go to launcher options and down click protect app. Do what is neccessary and select apps you want to hide and protect

[Q] Will using a custom launcher remove blinkfeed?

I guess it should, but maybe one of those who got their phones already can confirm this.

Yes, it does remove blinkfeed. Tested with apex launcher.
It will still be a background process, will it not? Even though its not visible. Like sense Rosie/prism itself

If you do not delete Prism.apk yes but it won't be active, just an apk doing nothing

Torxx, you wouldn't happen to know a way we can have a alternative launcher running and keep blink feed?
I like it but I want my old Nova Launcher back
Alternatively, If I have to make do (which I expect I will have to lol) How can I change the Icons on the home screen Dock?
Or am I just being as thick as a plank??....
Cheers
To rearrange the dock icons, open the app drawer and then drag the unwanted ones back into drawer. You might need to drag them to where they're supposed to go (i.e. I have my drawer sorted automatically and had to drag the camera to where it'd be in the drawer).
You can only have the 4 apps on there but if you remove any, you're free to put whatever you want in its place.

It would be active, continuously streaming content to its interface on the sense launcher
Best option would be to change launchers and then freeze Sense
Just un-check all the options/feeds leaving blinkfeed blank. This way it fetches nothing. Then run you new launcher.

Thanks for the tip but Ive figured that out. The issue Im having is, If I use a Icon changer, it drops a widget on the home screen that is essentially a shortcut to the app you pick.
Because its a widget, it wont let me move it to the dock at the bottom...
I know I could probably go hinting to try and change the pings manually, I just really cant be bothered as I know It wont be long before I flash another rom.
Any Ideas?
Freeze it in titanium if you don't want it.

Gesture navigation and third party launchers

On my Pixel 5 the behaviour with third party launchers (tried Nova and Microsoft) is terrible. If I swipe up to go home then often the launcher has to seemingly redraw/refresh before I can do anything. If I use three button nav there is no issue. It's annoying as I hate being stuck with the search bar and 'at a glance' weather in the standard launcher, but much prefer gesture nav.
Is this a common thing or anyone got any ideas to fix?

You are welcome to try this if all you want is "at a glance weather" and search bar gone on standard launcher. However, you cannot use the space vacated by the weather. This is as high as you can go.
If you root your device, I'd suggest using the 3 button navigation, then remove it using Tusladiver's mod and then using FNG navigation, its customizable and a lot better then google's implementation I think.
Using Nova launcher, I noticed if I chose another animation, under "Look and feel", then "app animation" the blank refresh went away. I just chose zoom.
EDIT: It started again. But, not as much

Clock Mods - Remove Navbar or Battery etc. Mods
I don't have this phone but I thought I'd try a couple of clock options if someone is interested in trying them. Root required. Flash in magisk manager. Most of these are SystemUI mods and might not be compatible with any other SystemUI Mods...

I love microsoft launcher. I had the same issue with the redraw. I set it to only a single row on the nav bar and it seems to have to figure it. It's almost like the launcher was fighting with the OS for swipe up control.
