This happened to the app drawer when I enabled transparent navigation bars. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this issue? Disabling transparent navigation bar does not fix it, I had to restore a backup.

EDIT: Solved

EDIT: Solved

hi all. Let me apologize in advance incase there is a option for this i couldnt find 🙂

would be nice if there was an option to stop newly installed apps from creating a shotcut on the launcher.

While its not too much effort to edit and then delete it, would be nice if i didnt have too. 

just a thought. 

Thanks

Nexus 5 KK 4.4 with 4.95″ screen at 1920 x 1080. Is there any kind of consensus on what would be an optimal grid size layout?

Hi, +Pierre Hébert .

Hi, +Pierre Hébert .

First of all, thanks for your continues support and updates. I’ve seen you’ve fixed some problems with home button. If I’m not wrong, other issues with back button were reported too. In my case, it happens habitually, everytime you play around with folders, sooner or later, back button stops working. Reopen a folder is usually enough to make button back operative again.

Is this issue still pending?. I ask just to confirm if the issue is related to my hardware or not.

Thanks again.

Configure and setup of NewBeat

Configure and setup of NewBeat

preliminary note:

The Homescreen was built for a Xperia Z.

The Screenresolution of this Phone is overall 1080×1920.  My Softkeys are hidden, so i have FULLHD.

If your phone has other resolution you may have to change  some specifications in this tutorial or adjust in the Widgets. Howto for Tasker  and other Widgets are NOT part of this tutorial. 

Applications you need:

Lightning Launcher eXtreme >= 8.8, Media Utilities >= 0.131, Power Toggles (if you like), Simple Rss Widget (if you like), Zooper Widget pro (not the free version), Tasker, Lucent Remix.

Important Information:

If you never used one of the listed Applications before or if you are not prepared to show some self-initiative and to learn by yourself, then It’s better to stop here !!

Preparing:

Install all Applications listed above

Zooper-Files:

Copy the .zw  files to following folder on you sdcard

Example: /sdcard/ZooperWidget/Templates/

Tasker-Files:

Copy wa.xml files to following folder on you sdcard

Example: /sdcard/Tasker/projects/

Import  the Settings in Tasker (press Home-Icon > Import)

Or do it by yourself Variables needed in Zooper: TK9, TWA, THO

(Start all Tasks once manual and allow Tasker the Systemstuff it’s asking for)

Power-Toggles-Files:

Copy  nb_pt.zip   to following folder on you sdcard

Example: /sdcard/Power Toggles/

Import this later when you have created the Widget

Or do it by yourself

Simple-Rss-Files:

Copy  Nb_news.txt   to following folder on you sdcard

Example: /sdcard/Android/data/de.j4velin.rssWidget/files/saved_configs/

Import this later when you have created the Widget

Or do it by yourself

Media Utilities Settings:

Check Zooper

Check Send Song Progress

Copy the Images on your sdcard  (wherever you will find them if you need them).

1. Install the APK

Allow LLx to Create the Widgets (many times ;-(  )

LL is only able to save The Widgts Size/Postion and the App it belongs to not the Content. You have to load the Content/Configuration by yourself.

2. Zooper Widgets

 

I made a 3 Pages setup. From left to Right: Apps/Home (LLX Home)/Social

Widgets sorted by Page and order to load:

Widgets needed for Media:

nb_cal 

Power Toggles (not Zooper)

Widgets needed for Home:

nb_weather 

Widgets needed for Social:

nb_news_bg 

Simple Rss Widget (not Zooper)

Pined Widgets:

nb_top (Clock/Date)

nb_mp_bg  (BackgroundPicture)

nb_mp

nb_count

All Applications on the Pages are set with LL.

A suggestion that will help me (and others) a lot.

A suggestion that will help me (and others) a lot.

My problem is that I have an item behind a folder (also happens if it’s above), so every time I click on that item a short period of time in edit mode, it goes into the folder (don’t tell me to move the folder/icon please)

So, to avoid this I suggest two possible features:

1) the easiest one:

Just a checkbox in the config to allow/deny put items into folders.

2) maybe better, but more difficult:

When you hover something above a folder, wait a few milliseconds until you can put it into (you’ll know when because the item will become translucent just as it does now). Then, when the pop-up appear cancel the action again.

This way if you want to put something in a folder is easy, just a bit slower than now. And if you don’t want, it’s more difficult to make it by accident.

What do you think? I saw suggestion #1 in the past, I’m suggesting #2 in case the first is not a good one.

v8.8

v8.8

In the coming weeks I will have quite a lot of work, hence I probably won’t have the time to work on big features. I will instead focus on polishing things a bit. And this new version is exactly this: it improves (a bit) the layout editor:

– a brand new “geometry editor” is available through the item menu / position / geometry. This will allow setting precise values for position, scale, rotate scale and skew of any item (even stop points though this is weird and I still need to improve this, lol)

– an new option in general settings “Single finger scroll in edit mode”. Basically what it does is switch between tap and drag item moves the item or scroll the desktop. The purpose is to avoid false moves in edit mode. By default it is off to preserve the current behavior, but according to your feedback I may toggle it in a future release.

A few bug fixes also found their way in this release:

item preview size in landscape mode, home key occasionally not working, some random crashes.

Oh, and I finally added these transparent status and navigation bars options for Android 4.4 !

Edit: and here is a small video of the geometry editor: Lightning Launcher – Item geometry editor
