Hello in pretty new to android in general but I know how to do a bit of tinkering especially on ios and I was wondering if there is a way to change what app opens(could be something really obvious as I Sao in new to android) for example when uses out the game pad I want the playstation pocket app to open.
Cheers tony
So no one knows?
So no one can tell me if it is even possible or not, please just asking for an answer
The XPERIA Play launcher app opens up based on a setting in the app that detects the controller slide out. If the PS Pocket app has that option press the menu button and see if its there. Otherwise theres nothing in the OS that tells it to do this so you're SOL.

Thought id check out what homescreen apps people are using and compare features etc....
Currently Im using launcherpro and have been for a while....love it but know theres plenty more out there:
ADW launcher
Home++
Slidescreen
Pandahome
...to name but a few....anyone got any thoughts or comments ?
Also given all the hoo har in the news re ropey apps being able to dial premium numbers etc does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Reason that came about is because a number of apps ive seen have the ability call telephone numbers...now for a homescreen app that controls most phone functions id expect that to be normal? but would i be right in thinking that?
let us know....

I use Launcher Pro Plus.
And as a simple solution to premium numbers, you can just get your network provider to disable access I did that before my phone even arrived
Homescreen will likely need it so it can initiate calls etc. But be wary of apps that can make calls. I think google need to implement a UAC-style permissions system (like superuser permissions for root), that controls apps' access to the permissions they "need" in a similar manner. Then you could see when the app ACTUALLY needed the permissions, and deny or allow on a one-off or always basis.
I wonder if that's possible, if we could catch the intents etc. ???
I'm using launcherpro mainly as it seems to be the most responsive. I'm not interested in pretty widgets etc. Just speed

Good Morning,
I am after a certain type of app but I am struggling to find something that suits my needs and I was wondering if anyone here can point me to a good app.
I am looking for something where I can hide an app from my App Tray and launch it via the phone dialer by typing a certain code.
So to recap I do not want anyone using my phone to be able to see this app. I don't want and password protection or fake error message I want it completly hidden and only available through the dialer.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Max
Try Wave Launcher.... that might be what your after?
Thanks for the reply but thats not what I am after. That is just a fancy launcher where as I want to completly hide an app and only be able to launch it through the dialer.
anyone else have any ideas?
The only app i've heard of doing anything like this is Shady SMS, but that just allows you hide certain contacts conversations. I've never seen anything else similar..

Try Hide It Pro it give you the ability to hide pics, videos, and apps. I believe this is exactly what you are looking for. It installs as a cute little app called "Audio Manager" which you can configure to actually function properly. There is a secret "button" press to get you to a keypad for a passcode. Enter your passcode and your in.

This package looks perfect but its refusing to list my installed applications :-(
I once had an app like this, but can't find it now.
The only app that I've encountered that can do this is Lockdown Pro but it can only hide itself. I hope someone can make an app like this or maybe I'll try it myself when I graduate.
Hi,
I have an issue where I need to launch an app on device startup on a windows mobile embedded device (6.5) but sporadically the app launches without focus leaving the today screen on view.
I need a small app that will get around this, either by launching the app on a timer or forcing the app to have focus, does anybody know of such an app?
My only alternative at this point is a today screen launcher to get around it.
My preference is the end user would never see the today screen, but for this pilot of the devices I cannot kiosk the device as there will be none technical staff on the remote site using them, and we will need to talk them through additional configuration over the phone and I'd prefer to have access to the device whilst we transition from pilot to production.
Thanks
GD

Only some lines coded in "MortScript" are necessary to accomplish this. Search this thread for a scheduler/launcher written in "MortScript" ...
Hello guys! The first thing that positively surprised me the first time I used my gpad was the improvement given by LG software.
In particular Slide Aside(too freeze an app) Q Slide (kind of multi windows experience) and quick memo are very good. How can I the same feature on other devices (like my galaxy s4, where samsung software are only garbage).
Any third part software?
Thanks

I don't know... I personally find slide aside and qslide kind of worthless. What I find useful is the built in samba server over wifi - now that's useful.
not all the program have a real resume function, so I need to find something similar for my smart phone. It's all depending on a how you use the phone

I guess I'm not clear how using qslide is all that much different than holding home and switching tasks that way. I mean I guess qslide may prevent the garbage collector from killing an app before you are ready... but I've never seen that be an issue in any practical use since it doesn't clean up right away.
Now, one thing that I stumbled upon today that is really nice is when you copy text, a widget comes out with all of your recent copy's! Now That is Really Handy! Now, how to get back to it once it disappears...

I didn't know about the samba server. How do you make use of it?
Go to Settings, under Wireless Networks, choose More... and enable Wireless storage. And yes, it rocks.

Guess it's just on the stock rom. I'm using mahdi-rom and its not an option. Guess I could install am app to that, if I need it.
I'm sure there are decent apps out there, I was just impressed that LG would include something so useful that does require some technical knowledge. It requires you to \\<ip> and login with a provided username/pw.

Anywhere that you're going to enter text, press and hold the screen. There will be two options, Paste, or Clip Tray. Clip Tray will get you everything you've copied.
It also comes up in a menu when you highlight a word, for example when copying, it should give an option for Clip Tray as well

I found what you mean with the Clip Tray. That'll work. Thanks!
See please
Hello to all! Do you know any apk (module) that is the same the QSlide of LG G Pad?
Hello fellow android wear users,
I got my new Galaxy Watch 4 last week and paid with google pay a couple of times.
What really bothers me is the fact, that I have to open the app first.
Is there any known way to get around this?
Using double press for the home key to launch the app is not an option, I am already using a different app there.
If there is no way to achieve this, does anyone know if there is a way to map long press home button or double back button to start an app?
Any help is really appreciated!
Regards

You can map the double press home to Google pay in the wear app or watch settings.
