Recently I’ve found myself with a serious issue that not only prevented me from using the apps drawer but the…
Clicking the apps drawer did nothing at all and clicking the playstore button opened Google +. Neither of the 2 could be edited nor removed. At first I thought an app was glitching up and showing an overlay with a drunken attitude so I deleted the desktop and created another to no avail. I also found that whatever was screwing with my desktop was also affecting every app I went into.
I thought I’d reboot my device and when I did it completely reset the launcher back to fresh install.. If this is in fact a bug within the launcher it’s a crazy one I never knew could happen. But rebooting the device did fix the issue from what I can tell.
I don’t know what caused this so I don’t know if it can be repeated but to have had the launcher revert back to factory install is just too weird to ignore.
]]>How do you delete a panel? If I long press on a panel, I don’t find an option to remove/delete.
Trying out LL Extreme for the 1st time.
parallax background, accelerometer powered
This is a new script I made with the help of Lukas Morawietz. All the new bind class, and accelerometer events code was made by Lukas (also some suggestions), the position computation, tags and relative is mine.
The script takes the accelerometer values and place the item accordingly. It is size-dependent so the bigger the item is the more it will move. (Items smaller that the screen size will move a bit odd)
The settings are a parameter to control the lerp (smooth change from the previous value to the new one) otherwise it will move a lot. The other is a threshold to avoid small movements if your accelerometer sends changes even when the device rest, for low end devices.
Instructions:
– Choose an item. Remember to set a picture as background and hide the icon and text (or not, that’s up to you)
– Set this script in the resumed event of the item
– Important: detach the item
– Optional but recommended: set the script in the paused event of the item
– Optional: you may want to pin the item too.
The movement is stopped automatically when the launcher lost focus, but I recommend also to set the script in the paused event (specially if you use different desktops). It is made so if you run it from other events (a swipe or even the scripts menu) it stops. Useful if you want to edit the item.
To reload the script just turn off/on the screen. You may want to do it when setting the event and when changing the size of the item.
It works in folders and in panels too. And also you can set it in as much items as you want (with caution) The second video has two items, the galaxy background and the stars, both items has different sizes.
Note: I needed to add a small code to avoid the ‘0-size’ bug. If you get an error when the container is loaded just turn off/on the screen. Also I couldn’t test it myself long enough. If you get an error or it don’t work as expected write a comment.
(Again, thanks Lukas for helping me)
]]>How do you stop scrolling to an empty screen ?
I’m sure this has been discussed here before, but I can’t find it.
Basically I have a desktop with two screens. Horizontal scrolling only. Both are populated. Turn phone on, and am on the first screen. scroll left, pulls the next page across, all populated. Then I can scroll left again and it pulls in a blank page. Cant for the life of me removed it. There are no icons/panels or anything on it. I have clicked on every position in case something is transparent. I have snap to pages, fit desktop to items, and disable diagonal scrolling all checked. Why does it feel the need to scroll to this empty page ?
Note, I’m talking about only one desktop here, with 2 pages.(+ the 3rd one I want to get rid of).
I have zoomed the grid so it is tiny so I can see if there is an orphoned app anywhere, and there isn’t.
Any ideas ?
