TrianguloY

TrianguloY

Pierre Hébert

recently I checked out another launcher to get ideas on how I can setup a similar theme. the idea uses a script to put apps and shortcuts into a wheel – like formation that I placed into a panel. this is where TrianguloY comes in (it was his script). for some unknown reason I can’t get the icons to stay the size that I specified, they keep getting in the way of each other. physically the icons look good but the hotspots won’t stay the size I specified. how do I fix it so they don’t go back to their original sizes? I noticed this when I tried to click the center icon (used only to add apps and shortcuts) and I kept opening an app. why? because the app kept overlapping the center shortcut. but then I noticed half the time even clicking an empty spot in the panel opened some apps because of this. I’ll post a comment with the url to the script because I cant recall the script I used.

also there’s a gap in the wheel I’m trying to close off but no matter what I do there’s still a gap. this isn’t a real problem right now but when I get done with my theme I’d like to close this gap. right now I’m trying to get the hotspots to stop growing back to their original sizes and just stay short (just the size of the icon please.

for Pierre Hébert: i just noticed that there was a fix in the stop points where when the point was reached it finally triggers the event (instead of having to overscroll and I thank you for that. now if I can fix it so it retracts when the event is triggered. I don’t know how to explain it better, sadly but I’m trying to make it so when the event is triggered it goes back into its original position and opens the app list. the only way I see this is with a script that uses a desktop bookmark and a custom user – action. it’s there a script I can use for this or can anyone make one?

again it’s hard to explain and since I can’t root my device its impossible to make the video showing everything.

in closing I hope I put this post in the right category. if not feel free to move it and explain why it belongs there. thank you all.

nice update by the way : lollipop

Carousel folder

Carousel folder

I had the idea of this one since looong time ago, but I forgot it. At that moment I tried to change the z-position of the items to allow ‘rotate’ the items in the folder preview, but it didn’t worked well.

Now with the ability to draw images it was just so easy 😛 so I made it more configurable.

Instructions: Run this script from a folder item (remember to check ‘item menu’ in the script editor) to:

Change the item folder

Set the script to the swipe directions and tap.

Open the folder.

You can optionally pass data to the script to perform this actions:

Launch the first item displayed: “launch” (by default when tap)

Rotate in one direction: “+” (by default swipe left/down)

Rotate in the other direction: “-” (by default swipe right/up)

There are also some settings in the script to change the maximum number of items to show, the size of them and the margin.

The order of the items is the z-position (the same when going into the hierarchy menu)

Note: folders by default have a custom background, you may want to remove it from the item/icon menu.

Enjoy 😀

v10.5.2

v10.5.2

A really minor update: fixes a bug when using Android 5.0 (and developer preview L).

This one won’t get reviewed in some well known news site because of backported animations, but at least it should work as usual 🙂

>> Changing the Default Desktop <<

>> Changing the Default Desktop <<

I am working with several widgets, mainly Zooper Pro… depending on my mood I would like to have these on my actual main screen which is marked with the house icon, but when I change the default desktop LLX is starting a new one…

Is it possible to add a feature which allows to draw the “house” to a new place? so that the screen on the left side ( or above, or richt side…. ) will be the new center of screens?

So I copied a template I liked online from a designer to the LL folder.

So I copied a template I liked online from a designer to the LL folder. Restored it. Customised it to my liking. Got everything setup the way I want except for the “all apps” shortcut. Now even though it shows all installed apps, it also shows quite a few apps that I have never installed. It’s really annoying. Is this a bug? Or are these remnants of the original designer’s installed apps that he used as hotspots for his widgets? Even if they are, there has to be a way around this.

I have LL installed on my Galaxy Note 4, and had some problems with the NY Times widget, so I deleted it, rebooted…

I have LL installed on my Galaxy Note 4, and had some problems with the NY Times widget, so I deleted it, rebooted the phone, and re-added the widget. It seemed to work fine. I then added the widget to another part of the screen, and deleted the first instance of the widget. When I hit the Delete option, LL wiped all of my setup – every folder, app and widget that I’d applied disappeared. I tried several things – rebooting the phone, reinstalling LL, and restoring it from a template that I’d saved before the problem, but nothing worked – I just end up with an empty screen. I also created a new template from my tablet, copied that to my phone, and tried restoring, but again, the screen is completely blank except for the background image. Any ideas how I can get LL to start working again and hopefully restore my setup from one of the templates I’ve saved?
