samtee So why did you not just use the command in the original post to make the launcher default?

      Biden2020prez Well because it doesn't actually disable FP Home so whenever I clicked the end button it always popped up an option to either use FP Home or coolhome which was very annoying till I disabled FP Home

          samtee The whole point is it's not supposed to disable FPHome (which is more dangerous in case someone decides to to uninstall coolhome). but when I ran adb shell cmd package set-home-activity com.android.cts.wy.f1home/com.wy.f1home.activity.KeyguardActivity then it didn't ask me to choose a home app each time. Are you sure you tried it?

              Version 1.20:

              • Added Dpad Shortcuts
              • Removed CoolHome from showing in App Launchers
              • Added a (very basic) Built-In app launcher
              • Changed Dpad Shortcuts to LG Pakcage and class names

              Installation and Usage:

              (Re)install this app using -g -r in ADB (I also added -r which will be useful for future updates):

              adb install -g -r CoolHome-v1.20.apk

              To set it as the default Home App (you will need to do after each update), run:

              adb shell cmd package set-home-activity com.android.cts.wy.f1home/com.wy.f1home.activity.KeyguardActivity

              Notes:

              • Now, the apps section was replaced with the new built in launcher.
              • Access Dpad Hotkey Settings from the home screen by pressing clr button (this will likely change in the future)

                Biden2020prez Yup that's what I tried at first but every time I pushed the END button it always came up the option to switch between the two home apps

                  Biden2020prez ok i just tried it again and your right at least on the pervious version that it sets it to default home but only until i tried pressing one of the d-pad buttons and then it crashed and i had that problem so hopefully your new on works better

                      samtee Oh Okay I understand. In the future I plan to explore the possibility of an option in the app to choose default home. But I need to first check if there is a way to do that progrommatically that's supported on the LG Classic Flip.

                          Biden2020prez still a couple bugs to work out
                          1: I'm not sure if its a hiccup but the voicemail and email notification don't show up on the main screen
                          2: the # key that you usually hold down to put your phone on vibrate doesn't work
                          but other then that it works great (not so important) it would be nice if the apps could show up nicer on the phone like the TAG app launcher


                              samtee

                              1. Not sure if I will ever figure out how to do the email and voicemail Notifications
                              2. Let me see if I can get the # button working (i dont even think I knew about it)
                              3. Maybe. It's very hard to get a good design when reverse engineering someone else's app, because it's super hard to fix stuff like content views in Layout XML. So currently the App Launcher is written only in JAVA and all the layouts are dynamically created, making it hard to put complex logic. But I am still trying to get a good gridview, or maybe I'll try porting LionScribes launcher to this app (but it would be hard).

                                  Biden2020prez adb install -g -r CoolHome-v1.10.apk

                                  You have to change it to 1.20.apk.
                                  Thanks cool home is cool.. Just having an issue like mentioned that the end button keeps bringing up the app switcher. Is there a fix for that coming?

                                      Flippy A fix already came! Run:

                                      adb shell cmd package set-home-activity com.android.cts.wy.f1home/com.wy.f1home.activity.KeyguardActivity

                                      You are on LG and it's not working?

                                      (thanks, I edited my post)

                                            Biden2020prez Yes. Originally I had the old version installed and tried to upgrade it, thought that was causing the issue. Now I tried it after hard reset and I was having the same issue I realized it was because of the default D-pad shortcuts. For some reason one of them is set to Verizon apps which is not even an app on this phone. If I try to press any directional key before I set the shortcuts from the cool home app then it would crash and then it would loop into that every time I click the power button, and I would have to choose a home. Once I set all the directional keys with the update, then turn the phone off and back on I didn't have the issue anymore. Maybe changing the defaults would fix the issue.

                                            Really minor, but you can update the words Bluetooth and Music in the Key Shortcuts menu, to have capital letter in the beginning of the word, to look more polished.

                                              10 days later

                                              samtee I haven't been working on it too much, but soon I'll try making an update that makes CoolHome less reliant on ADB, so that it grants permissions automatically, and can set itself as default home.
