Hi!
Hi! I just started using this amazing launcher, and I have a lot of questions. I hope you can help me. My phone is a Galaxy S3, with rooted Android 4.3, from Rogers (Canada).
1. Is there any way to add an “Unlocker” with any kind of security (password, pattern, etc)?
2. Is there any way to add counters to gmail, phone, etc. icons that show unread emails, missed calls, messages, etc.?
3. I am having trouble with some widgets that do not auto-update, like the transit one. Can you guys give me any hint into what could be the problem? Other widgets update just fine (like yahoo weather, or calendar widgets).
4. I have a noticiable lag when opening “All apps”, both when doing it from the icon or by a gesture. It takes close to 2 seconds to open, and sometimes I even wonder if I did the gesture right. Pierre Hébert told me to turn on the “Minimize memory usage” option, and it seems a bit faster. But I am afraid that this may slow down the launcher (at least that is what it says in the settings). So, have you encountered this issue as well? Is there any other way to deal with it?
5. Is there any way to select multiple items/widgets to move them around?
6. Is there any way to limit sorting and compacting to a single screen and not the whole desktop¿
7. I am using a second desktop as lock screen. In that desktop I am using only one screen, and I have turn off all gestures and scrolling, except swype down to show notifications. It works very well, but if I press “Home” button instead of unlocking the screen or touching any icon, the launcher starts behaving very strangely. Widgets disappear from the lock screen, it is impossible to open “All apps”, etc. Has anybody else had this problem?
Thanks a lot!

1. There are several scripts for that
3. This is a known yet unsolved problem
4. I wrote a script to use a desktop as App Drawer, so there is no lag
5. The multitool script can move all items on a page at once
6. No, but you could put the items in a panel and compact only inside the panel

Thanks! Where can I find scripts? Following the link from the launcher I can only find 3, but none of them do what I would like.
2. Add Dynamic Text, change data to what you want, using the Box (or background image) make the background how you like, detach from grid and move next to appropriate icon. Search tutorial section here for a video about how to make “badges”.
6. Lukas answer… panel AND folder will work that way when sorting/compacting.
In the tutorials section I can only see 1 post. Do I need special priviledges or antiquity to see more messages?
Oh sorry, in the Lightning Launcher Extreme community… just request access there. you’ll find more content.
Oh, didn’t know there was another one. My version is indeed the eXtreme. I’ll ask there. Thank you!
It’s the private one. Trying to link the post for you but not having much luck so far… Anyway the post is by Jay M from November 22 2013
The first place when looking for scripts is the repository http://www.pierrox.net/android/applications/lightning_launcher/wiki/doku.php?id=script_repository
Lukas Morawietz is right. The script repository is a gold mine. These guys do some really good work. I highly recommend checking it out.
