I’m looking for a way to sort my All Apps by installation date (not update date that LL provides)

I’m looking for a way to sort my All Apps by installation date (not update date that LL provides) . Apex Launcher provides this ability. Use case: crap, what was the name of the app I installed last week? Lots of apps have auto-updated between now and then, so sorting by update date is cumbersome.

Is there an existing way to do this (a setting I’m missing… or perhaps a script?)

Much regards.

I’m playing around with stop points for the first time, and I’m a but stuck.

I’m playing around with stop points for the first time, and I’m a but stuck. Hopefully somebody here can point out where I’m going wrong.  But….

I have a stop point off to the right of my screen so that I can swipe to the right and basically get a sidebar. That all works as expected. However, once the scrolling stops at the stop point it gets stuck and I can’t swipe it away again. I’ve tried playing with all the stop point settings and I can’t get it swiping away.

I fully expect I’ve made a mistake somewhere, but can someone let me know where?  Maybe this isn’t the best way to get a sidebar, maybe I’m not getting my head around what a stop point should be able to do, or did I simply miss a setting somewhere?

I need some help with something.

I need some help with something. On my phone i’ve got the hide and seek theme installed and i’m trying to set-up something similar on my tablet. I’ve got one desktop with a pinned panel acting as a sidebar on the left,  on the page to the right I have another pinned panel (a second sidebar) with a stop point on the left and right edge of the panel. If I swipe left and right, I can move the right page containing the sliding sidebar in and out of view, great that works.

 On hide and seek theme, it has a show widgets icon which moves the panel across, and a hide icon within the sliding panel that moves it back to the other page.

Looking at the items it’s two short-cuts, but I can’t figure out what the short-cut is, nothing seems obvious in the lighting actions list how I slide something in from another page, am I on the right track or am i looking at this all wrong ??

Just wanted to share some info.

Just wanted to share some info. For those of you, (like me), who like using ninepatch drawables for the background images of icon, folders, and panels, I found a nice simple app to edit and create them. I had previously been compiling the ones I’ve created into an app, but an app called “9 patch editor” works perfectly. It’s totally free, (not even ads), and has a “save as compiled” option. I’ll see if I can find a link to it on the play store.

In ‘All Apps’

In ‘All Apps’

1. Alphabetical

1.1 Can folders used to group apps?

1.2 Besides tapping search, can there be an alphabetical bar for quick scrolling to apps starting with the alphabet tapped?

2. ‘Recently launched’ & ‘Used often’ don’t reflect apps that are launched by non-LLX methods and are thus limited in utility.

3. ‘Recently updated’ doesn’t reflect all apps that were updated. I think it reflects recently installed apps better though I’m not sure how completely this information is captured.

Can ‘All apps’ be scripted?

Best regards

I would like the option of loading the Samsung Touchwiz launcher from my LLX lock screen.

I would like the option of loading the Samsung Touchwiz launcher from my LLX lock screen. I think it’s com.sec.android.app.launcher.

If possible, could someone tell me how to call it in a script please ?

I already have a script that allows me to swipe to different desktops from the lock screen i.e. unlock phone and load a Lightning desktop, however, I fancy having the option of calling the stock Samsung UI too.

Not sure if it’s possible, as I don’t want Touchwiz as my default launcher, just call it to run now and again, when I fancy.

Hi everybody

Hi everybody

With LLX just installed, I cannot add any panel. They are available only when I download a theme and delete all elements. How can I get panels with a clean LLX installation?

Regards

Not exactly related with Lightning, but this is something I have in mind since while, and a recent post from TrianguloY reactivated the idea.

Would some ‘script lover’ be interested in a JavaScript runtime only application? This would be a kind of runtime that loads a script, possibly from an APK and run it. It would provide a screen so that views can be added, and most importantly a good (or at least decent) JavaScript editor. All in one it would allow the creation of mini apps, without compiler, directly on the phone or tablet.

That’s the basic idea, it is easy to imagine how it could be extended. I don’t even checked whether it already exists or not. Just throwing the idea here.
