How to make folders on the app screen on the Xperia Launcher? - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Hello,
Just looking for help probably simple but can't seem to do it. Holding the application to hover over another just takes it to the home screen to place there but want to make folders on the application screen. Thanks

I had the same issue.
Look at home screen settings and enable add icons to startscreen, than you should be able to drop a icon on another to make a folder.
I have my unit set up with swedish so om not sure if the translation are correct.

Haha yeah cheers mate I thought that option was for adding new apps automatically to the homepage like an option I'm used to in Nova launcher. Reading the setting makes it obvious. Lol. Thanks

No there ain't a way to change these in the stock roms.
Use extended control or some other app like that to place shortcut widgets of those in your homescreens.

Show tasker scene in recent apps list

Hello all,
i made a Geocaching scene with tasker and would like to switch between that scene and another APP... But when i press the home button, the scene disappears. Other apps still remain in the recent apps list. Is there a way to have the scene in that list so i can switch it with another APP.
Thanks!
A scene isn't an app so it can't be shown in the Recent apps list. It's just overlay.
Your best option is probably to either create a shortcut to the task and place it on your home screen, use AutoNotification to create a notification that shows the scene when clicked on, or to use the Autobubbles alpha app to use a bubble as a shortcut.

You need to setup a profile that reacts to when you click on the notification.
Here's a tutorial made by the developer that explains it further :-}

How to Simply Turn Off Wifi while Screen is Off ?

I bought tasker, added a task:
Disable wifi If %SCREEN=0
It does nothing, so what is the logic behind that tasker ?
Can someone give me the solution ?

You have to add profile that trigger a task. In your case you have to make a profile like
State - > Display - > Display state set it to off
Task - > Net - > WiFi set it to off.
A task can only work if it will be triggered and for that you need a profile.
BTW the app is called Tasker

HAAAAAAA, thanks a lot, wasn't obvious to me that a profile is mandatory to run a task.
edit: not working....
if i go to the task list and press PLAY, it turns off wifi. so the task is properly done.
if i turn screen off, the task is not triggered.
Np enjoy Tasker.

You have to exit Tasker for save the profile. Or touch the save button in upper right.
Never forget that otherwise the profile isn't saved.
Enjoy Tasker

Detect which launcher page (Nova) is showing?

Hi,
Can Tasker detect which launcher page (Nova) is showing?
And if so can you have it go to a different page?
Thanks in advance,
Simon
can do both with autoinput
Hi,
Looks like I can have it go to a different page with Tasker, app, go Home(page).
Is there a tasker variable that contain the page number?
Thanks in advance,
Simon

You would need to create a variable to tell tasker which page to go to. To use the variable as the input to the Go Home page number, tap the crossed arrows at the top left of the Go Home action.
Hi,
Well what I want is for tasker to be able to detect which launcher page is showing. For instance if page 2 is showing then I want it to do some tasker actions - those actions should only trigger when page 2 is showing.
So what I need is for Tasker to store the number of the launcher page in a variable.
Thanks in advance,
Simon

I'd ask on the Nova Google plus page if there is a query that can be made to determine that. Nova had to offer up the information for tasker to grab it.
Hi,
Thanks - posted a Q there.

Is it possible to do this now?

Question Regarding Landscape Mode

Is there a setting that locks the home screens to portrait but still allows the apps to rotate to landscape?
I don't believe there is anything in Android settings, but you could use a 3rd party rotation control app like Ultimate Rotation Control. Set it up so OneUI Home or whatever home launcher you're using is forced into Portrait mode
Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
Try Settings -> Display -> Home screen
You should then have an option to rotate Home screen to landscape or not.
I hope that helps!View attachment 4916397

I didn't even notice that setting, probably because I've been using Nova Launcher forever. That setting gets blacked out when using other launchers. Thanks for clarifying.

Since Samsung UI has come of age I don't use Nova anymore ... and UI is getting better with each update! It does all that Nova did when I last used it.
