Critical bug in the new hierarchy list! (Nobody saw this before? )
You can put a container inside itself (a folder shortcut inside the folder, a panel inside the panel), removing it from the setup, even from the hierarchy!
The container is placed inside itself, and it is still on the launcher data files, but the user has no longer access to it.

Lightning ⚡ on Android TV 😃 had to sideload it because it wasnt showing up in the extremely limited TV version of the Google playstore. Only thing is theres no menu button and no way to trigger it so I cant do much customization, beats using the default sony launcher though.

How long should I typically expect the restore function to take in LL with a fairly modern device, an LG G3 in this case?
I’ve been making frequent use of the backup option within LL’s Backup/Restore menu from the main settings page to retain my customizations. I also have a tasker profile that monitors the Lightening Launcher folder for any changes and creates a copy of the entire folder to my external SD.
After having lots of data realted issues with the custom ROM I was using I decided to switch to a custom ‘stock’ ROM. After the install and restoring my apps etc I then proceeded to copy back the Lightening Launcher folder from my external SD and went into Settings>Backup/Restore and tapped on the latest archive in the list to restore my setup, however, after almost 20 minutes of the ‘Restore in progress’ dialog with the spinning circle I decided something wasn’t working right and tried an earlier archive with the same result.
TL:DR restoring my LL backup archives doesn’t appear to be working and just sits on ‘Restore in progress’ for 20 odd minutes before I end up cancelling it.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Recommend me your favorite keyboard!
I’ve been using Touchpal for a long time now, but the keyboard is getting really annoying in the latest months (blinking red dots on the keyboard, etc.)
What I need:
– Good (adaptive) word prediction
– Bilingual Input (or at least an easy toggle)
What I’d like to have:
– Easy Emoji access
– Easy access to special characters and marks (usage: coding, writing, emoticons)
– swipe input
– settings, settings, settings. I like my keyboard as I like my launcher 😉
What I hate:
– Ads and anything else moving around or disturbing my typing
]]>I don’t know if I have to rise this here or I should but it as a bug.
I have just got my Nexus 6, flashed last lollipop (I don’t need Marshmallow at the moment), rooted, xposed installed. I’m facing a lag when I scroll a panel. If I change the setting of Desktop >> Scroll >> overscroll animation to any value. It works fine for sometime then the issue returns again.
Anyone else facing this issue.
]]>Suggestions/comments about the new hierarchical menu:
1) Desktops doesn’t follow formatting convention “Desktop ‘name’: #00000” instead of “Type ‘name’ (#0000)”
2) When opening it from the items/hierarchy open it in the item/container. When opening it from the edit bar open it where it was previously (current behavior)
3) Narrower icons, less space between them and less right margin (the edit and options icons I mean) maybe also add a disabled edit icon for desktops, so same icons are all aligned. (Or instead make it to open the ‘manage desktops’ screen? )
4) Instead of tabbing, use a different ‘inside container’ indicative, for example this simple but effective one: (characters ┃U+2503 ┗U-2517 ┣U-2523)
Desktop
┣ Item
┣ Folder (opened)
┃┣ Item
┃┗ Item
┣Item
┣Folder (closed)
┗Item
5) Not sure about this but: invert the z-order sorting so that top most item is placed upper in the list? Hmm, with this configuration it should be better to have the ‘items inside a container’ placed above the container item…hmm. Setting to choose between one or another? 😛 ok, maybe better leave it as it is now.
