Let’s admit it: the built-in launcher is defective. Unable to access installed apps, if you resize the screen everything is cramped, and more… So we decided to install an unofficial launcher. Now we have a problem: it's impossible to access recent apps and the notification bar without the built-in launcher. What can we do? So I built some simple apps to help whit that. (Basically every app is just a shortcut to activity in SystemUI). Download the apps listed here, install them and you can access whatever you want! Notifications Recent apps Brightness (more convenient than the settings) Dialer Recent Calls And for the bored folks: very cute game Marshmallow land Demonstration video (demonstrated on ListLauncher of @xxdeafgirl .) Note: These apps have been tried on the LG classic, and should work without problem on the other LGs. Other devices will probably need custom apps.

Uri thanks it works great also could you please make an app that takes you to the dial screen because on the lg exalt you can’t dial when using a different launcher?

Uri Thanks. Where is the launcher though?

Flippy Here's the one he's using ( xxdeafgirl ) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BxyGWjwWZ6MTF-iPLb4NSKJEQk_SrivH/view?usp=sharing

GOLDFISH Uri Dialer have fun! https://drive.google.com/file/d/16UT646I7TgOvYkrjBK7mdSLU4J3NRBmN/view?usp=sharing Here is what it looks like in Square home launcher.

Uri it’s a link to a screenshot not the apk

GOLDFISH I add the apk in the main massage.

Uri okay I got it. also I shared these app’s on telegram and someone asked for an app to get to recent calls because it’s not possible to get there with an other home app so could you make an app shortcut to recent calls?

GOLDFISH I'm on vacation now. But I can do it on the weekend.

Uri i copied these system files app priv-app framework from the lg exalt but I can’t zip these files I get an error when trying to zip it so could let me know which are the files that you need to make the hidden menu shortcut apk and I’ll try to zip only that few files and then send it to you

And about the unlocked lg classic system files I didn’t copy yet because on the moment I don’t have a unlocked lg classic near me I unlocked 6 phones by tracfone but that I selled for people so next time I’ll unlock a phone I’ll copy the system files and try to send it to you

Uri

GOLDFISH I do not really know. What do you mean you get an error? Have you tried zipping with PC? 7-zip is great software.

GOLDFISH

Uri i think maybe you could try making a shortcut apk to eject so card and mount sd card option on the phone it should look maybe like the brightness app that it comes up on the screen the option and also then it will be able to mapp a button to eject sd with button mapper and will not have to go in settings every time you want to eject or mount sd it’s made for people that have ifew sd cards and want to change fast the sd card
could you see if it’s possible to make such an app?

Uri

GOLDFISH I checked it out now, and found no activity doing it. Sorry.

GOLDFISH

Uri I did it the regular way on a laptop right click then send to then compressed (zipped) folder and I got this error [Login to see the link]

GOLDFISH

GOLDFISH when I try to zip an other folder it works fine so could [Login to see the link] tell me which files you need to make a hidden menu shortcut and I’ll try to zip it

GOLDFISH

GOLDFISH okay [Login to see the link] i zipped already the system files from the lg exalt using es file explorer and I sent it to you on telegram so try to see if you could make a hidden menu shortcut apk

By now I would have thought that someone (not me I'm clueless) would have figured out for us a home app that works with the built in buttons so we can use the send key to see recent calls and can access notifications the built in way, but also allows us to see all the apps (or at least a few of them by filling in the empty spaces in the app grid) without having to go to a separate app launcher. The filtered phones seem to have something like Im describing. What did they do? design their own from scratch? Modify FPhome?

roncat

could you make a version of this for the tcl flip 2?

Biden2020prez

roncat Maybe. What exactly do you want? (version of what?)

pelfman1

Uri These apps (besides for marshmallow) do not work on the T408DL, the most imp to me is the notification as the square launcher doesn't allow access to that. Do you have a solution?

Biden2020prez

pelfman1 I can probably make one for you that opens notifications on t408dl (but not for a few days).

The OP made these apps specifically for the L125dl.

While you are waiting, you can play around with marshmallow. let me know your score 🙂.
