im rooted with the 1.1.0 rom loaded. ive installed launcher pro and it works good. my only issue is the icons located in the dock. because in have a nook, i know that the phone, messaging, and contacts will not work. is there a way to remove them permanently so that the app drawer icon is only thing there at the bottom? thanks.

hold the one you want gone and go to change shortcut and make it blank.
Is this what you want?

You can't modify shortcuts (any shortcut at all, not just LauncherPro) on Eclair.
As far as I know, this is impossible.

but the dock that LP comes with has phone, contacts, etc. You can remove those, unless I am miss understanding the op.

Yes you can...
On Eclair, you cannot alter the Launcher Pro icons from your Nook device. However, you can set up your Launcher Pro homescreen (icons, widgets, or whatever) on another android device and copy it over to your Nook. Refer to this thread for the exact procedure.
I have done this myself, and it works perfectly.
Note: If you only want the app drawer icon you can do that with the above method. But if you want you can set up other icons that actually work in addition to the app drawer icon. As long as you have the same apps on your Nook, the icons from your other android device will open the same apps on your Nook when you copy over the homescreen.

Just switch to zeam launcher. Seems to work much better than launcher pro and adw, imho.

i agree. i tried lpp and the removing of shortcuts in the dock is too much of a hassle. adw was ok. i forgot reason why i didn't like it. i tried all 3 n sticking w zeam

Zeam pales in comparison to Launcher Pro when you take into account the widgets.
There are absolutely no Facebook, Twitter, and Calendar widgets on the Android Market that work as well and look as good as the Launcher Pro widgets do.
Also, they scroll, which no other FB/Twitter/Calendar widget can do.
If you know of apps/widgets that do, please let me know. But I have yet to find a single replacement for all three of these that even come close in terms of functionality/look.

For another datapoint... you can set dock shortcuts and swipe gesture shortcuts with Go Launcher.
I couldn't get any other launcher to switch shortcuts on the dock (I haven't re-tried Zeam though).

Can I get longpress actions on apps on stock launcher like they were on nougat?

Like the thread suggests I upgraded to oreo and I regret it. The feature that I miss the most from nougat was longpressing on apps on the stock launcher and getting that app info action. I use fenix instead of the official twitter client and also some games, after some time they start acting up and when I force close them and delete their cache they work fine.
Now on nougat it was a simple longpress on the app you wanted and you could go to app info immediately. On oreo they changed it to some retarded options like select items, home screen and uninstall. So now I have to go to settings, apps wait for the list of apps to load and find the app and only then can I force stop it and clear the app's cache. Is there a way to get app info on longpress in the stock launcher or do I have to switch to another launcher like nova to get this functionality back?
Thx

Isn't this what you are referring to? 'force touch' actions work fine on Oreo.

Yup that's exactly what I'm referring to. In nougat when you did a longpress you had an option called "app info" but they removed it in Oreo (or I can't find the option to toggle it back on).
So for example in nougat let's say I'd long press on the playstore and I went to app info. It would take me to this screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now in Oreo if I want to get to the app info of the playstore I have to go to settings, then apps, then wait for the list of all apps to load, then find the app that I need.
It was a decent "shortcut" that worked great on nougat, but they removed it in Oreo. Most of the other launchers have that option, but since I didn't root this device I kind of got used to the stock launcher (ex touchwiz) so I'd prefer to stick with it. Just was wondering if there's a way to add that option.

I get what you mean now. Tbh i really doubt this feature will ever be re-added in future firmwares given how few people even noticed this was gone.

Yeah I figured if they took a feature out there won't be a way to get it back other than a 3rd party app.
Thx for the replies, guess it's nova launcher for me now

Shame. I loved that feature.

Well, Nova works really fine, you won't regret buying the license, I have been using it for 4 years or so

I have that feature in nova launcher with oreo.

Yeah I know, I've been using nova for years back on my nexus 6p, and galaxy s3 before that. It's just retarded that in 2018 you can't have that option on a stock launcher. What's worse it was in there, and they removed it for no good reason. Oh well

Third Party Apps can't change LockScreen Wallpaper

Hi guys,
I am using tasker, auto Dark theme ( awesome by the way ), but there is a problem with Emui, all of those apps got a feature that consist in changing wallpaper automatically, but it only changes the home screen, not the lock screen, and of course I've selected the both to change.
Any ideas how to solve this problem ?
Thanks ?

Same, have to use the stock wallpaper changer

Yep
It's a 'mess'.
Same behaviour/pb with alternative launcher like nova.
I could change the walls in it, but they're soon replaced by the ones configured in stock launcher/theme app.
I'll try to play with some settings and system file access allow/deny.. With no win.
Good luck
Edit :
Don't know why.. But
Just allowed nova to local storage in system application autorisation.
Reboot
And now my screens settings (both home and locked) stays.
'Cherry on the launch', the sliding home background back too.
Hope it's help on your side.
Ps : of course the magazine lockscreen auto update is off

After reading your post I checked permissions on Nova Launcher, and the setting that allows it to change the lock screen background is "Write System Settings" from the info page for NL, no need for reboot

How to deactivate bubbles notification on MIUI 12.5

I have finally got the last MIUI 12.5 update alongside Android 11. Everything was fine except the fact that I cannot remove the bubble notifications.
I have followed all the workaround online but it seems that MIUI rom is slight difference and I cannot find this option:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
someone has fixed this?

Download activity launcher, search (with the search button) for notifications, then under the settings app entry, tap on notifications, it will open the settings page.
Xiaomi apparently forgot to enable the page in the settings. There are a couple more hidden settings as well, such as interpolated frames on videos and something with more vivid/hdr like recording of videos.

this is interesting: where can I check these video settings?
anyway I have managed to sort with the bubbles stuff: there is written "manage" under the bubble, so tiny that was impossible to spot. Anyway Xiaomi have to implement the settings because if some are hide then are useless

Just go through the settings app section, I don't remember which setting you need to open, plus I think it only works on the xiaomi video/gallery apps.

hold on, you are telling me to go to settings app section, but earlier you were mentioning to download activity launcher. Is this a third party app? I wouldn't install additional apps but, in case I have to, which app is? I cannot find on Play Store.

Whenever any notification comes, there is More option and.notifications from that app can be directly managed for future

I'm talking about activity launcher, go to the settings app section inside the activity launcher app and open all subsections one by one till you find it.
Here's the app.

ehi, anyway I think I sorted: there is a "manage" option under the bubble which is basically invisible but is there. once you click on that command you can remove bubbles and check other settings.

Not having that experience. So it should also work for you.
Which setup/setting do you want to know about?

Do you use the gesture navigation or the button navigation as I don't see the issue with the button navigation
What are the home button settings you have for Nova ?
Any battery optimization setting you have for Nova , Animation speed or disable

I use the gesture navigation. I do not have any widgets in my homescreen (tried removing those?)
Note that Nova battery says Always ask, but when i click on it it says don't optimise (my actual choice)

Thank you
I have contacted Nova launcher about this and I was shocked by the response below :
Thank you for contacting Nova Launcher support. Below is a lot of information that we encourage you to read completely as it will answer your questions or other questions you might have related to the full system gestures in Android 10, Android 11, Android 12 and for the foreseeable future.
It doesn't matter what 3rd party launcher or version of any 3rd party launcher you use, it matters what your system/OEM does. If your system doesn't allow gesture navigation to work with 3rd party launchers, then no version of Nova will change that in any way. If it works inconsistently with 3rd party launchers, no version of Nova will change that either.
A great source of information can be found via this article https://www.xda-developers.com/third-party-launchers-animation-pixel-phones/. by Mishaal Rahman with input from Kevin Barry, the developer of Nova Launcher: Here's why Nova Launcher works better on Google Pixel phones (xda-developers.com)
Notable issues with gestures on third party launchers include, but not limited to:
• Close all/Clear app button not appearing(scroll all the way to verify it's not there)
• Not being able to tap icons for a short time after returning to the home screen
• Animations not being as fluid as expected
• Home screen icons flashing
• Home screen redraws
Please understand, there is absolutely nothing Nova can do to fix or change this in any way! Contact Google or your device OEM directly with these issues as Nova has absolutely no control over it whatsoever.
NOTE: These are system gestures only and are not related to Nova's personal gestures that you will find via Nova Settings -> Gestures & Inputs.
Use 3-Button Navigation
If you wish to avoid all of the above issues or any others that you might experience while using system gestures, we strongly urge and suggest that you use 3-button navigation that Android has had for years and that simply works. It allows you to use your favorite apps, especially any 3rd party launcher such as Nova, without issues like system gestures provide. Google has no plans to our knowledge to get rid of 3-button navigation in any way which means you can use your device like you have in the past without having to worry about the issues that system gestures provide.
As stated before, full system gestures are completely controlled by Android and are not something a launcher can just suddenly add support for or change in any way. When using gestures with Action Launcher, you'll quickly notice that the experience has just as many issues as it does with Nova or any other 3rd party launcher, reiterating the point that it is not something that any third party launcher can
