Hi
I have very strange behaviour of Folders within my setup. I have a folder with 2 widgets in it: one is Zooper wigdet 4×4 and another is Simple RSS Widget with same size. Folder has fixed number of columns and rows, ‘Use desktop size’ is checked. Wigdets are aligned horizontally and folder scrolling mode is set to Horizontal only.
When I scroll (slide) within the folder, after some amount of slide right and left widgets are moving up, that I can’t see the whole widget. I have to edit the layout and move the whole layout down to see the widgets again.
What am I doing wrong? Are there any settings I missed and should be checked/unchecked?

P.S. Layout isn’t finished yet 🙂
“addShortcut” does not work properly within folders, they are placed wrong, always at Y-position 0.
I have a folder, grid 8×12. Placed 2 shortcuts in row 1 and column 1 so the folder has a size of 8×5 when opened. Area 1/1 to 7/4 (0-based positions) is reserved for the area I want to add shortcuts dynamically.
addShortcut(“Label”, new Intent(), x*colW, y*RowH) places the shortcut at x*colW/0 (colW and rowH are calculated from container size and grid, those values are okay).
Tried dettaching and moving after adding, still the same. “Dettach by default” makes it worse, shortcut’s size is smaller than grid cell size.
It works when folder is in Edit-mode (full screen 8×12 grid shown), but not when folder is in Normal-mode.
Is this a bug, or am I just doing it wrong? Then what is the correct way?

Script “custo wheel” by TrianguloY and zooper
]]>// First post here, hope it fits as it’s more a question then an already finished script.
I’m a thankful user of the “AppDrawer”-script (create an appdrawer anywhere) and in it’s spirit, I’d like to also have a drawer for contacts and one for music/video.
The question is mostly for the music/video part as in does LLx scripting have access to the filesystem?
Basically, my music is stored like this:
/base/music/artist/(year) albumname
In /artist/ there’s an artist.png and in /(year) albumname/ there’s a cover.png and an .m3u-playlist
So what I would like to have is a page showing all artists as pictures. Long pressing it should queue all playlists alphabetically (thus by year) while short pressing should spawn a list of albums with cover. Again, longpressing should queue the album and shortpressing should spawn the list of files.
Would all of that currently be possible?
]]>I think the ComponentName class is missing, therefore it is not possible to use intent.setComponent
Edit: you can receive a ComponentName object by intent.getComponent, but you can’t create your own.
Pierre Hébert would you please include this class?
]]>Lock Screen Compatibility With Notification Apps.
I use LLX lock screen with NILS Notification app. However, the developer (Roymam) has told me NILS FP is not compatible with LLX Lock screen because the lock screen is not identifiable as a lock screen within his app, and it is just part of the general LLX desktop. So I tried the Floatify notifications app, and the same happens there. As a key feature of a lock screen is the capacity to display notifications, is there any way possible to identify the lock screen actually as a lock screen from these other apps ?
Thanks,
Nigel

Hello guys, I’ve got a question :
I’m doing tutorial on LLX (in french), and I do my desktop on the first one, and the tutorial on the second one…
The problem is that when I select the 2nd one, then go in edit layout for exemple, then I go back once. Everythings ok. But if I go back one more time, I go back to the 1st desktop…
It’s very anoying…
Do you know how to bypass this behavior ?
]]>This post will start a discussion, so better read carefully (and comments if any)
Public community vs private community
This community is a private one, which means that if you want to see the posts you need to ‘ask’ permission to enter (even thought we (almost) always accept anybody who ask). This is something that some people don’t like to do, even I spend time deciding to ask or not.
I’m writing this with the idea to make a public LL community, (a new one, because Google don’t let you change the privacy after creating it) but of course this will need a process, and it has pros and cons.
[And of course Pierre Hébert’s agreement! ]
The process theoretically is simple: stop posting in this community and post instead in the new one. If someone wants to see the old posts they will need to enter here, but the sooner we do the change, the less this will happen, as more post will be in the new one.
This is the list of pros/cons I think it has, you can comment others too.
Pros:
More visits: as a public community everybody will be able to see the posts, what means that more people will be able to know this (and also they will be available in Google search)
Cons:
Spam/unwanted people: this is the bad part of being a public community. I hardly remember any spam post here, and I guess it’s because if you decide to ask permission to enter, someone will need to accept you and bots don’t normally enter private communities. But I don’t know the level of spam in others so I can’t compare.
Also remember that this way your posts will be publicly available in your profile page. (Which could be good or bad)
Intermediate solutions:
Create the new community and post there some posts to see how it behaves (keeping important ones here)
Keep this one for betas/discussions and use the other for ‘share your screen’, ‘finished scripts’…
I remember at least one post talking about this topic, but nothing came at the end, so I want to start it again…to see what will happen.
]]>If you add a shortcut by script (to a folder in my case), you can change its properties, but these are not persisted.
var sc=fld.addShortcut(“lbl1”, null, 0, 0);
sc.setLabel(“lbl2”);
var ed=sc.getProperties().edit();
ed.{whatever}
ed.commit();
LL.save();
EDIT: I have to correct myself. Property changes ARE persisted… all except changes to “i.box”. And this happens not only for newly added shortcuts, but also for existing.
]]>I’m trying to find two settings.
I’m trying to find two settings.. The first one is to remove the grey background from the folders. The second is the folders to grid icons rather than fan ones.
I know I should be able to change it but I can’t find where lol.
