How to change shortcuts when swiping up from navigation bar? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I swipe up starting at the navigation bar, I get options to launch Google search, quick memo or screen recording. How do I change these or add more shortcuts?

I don't think you can hahaha. Seems to be part of systemUI.apk or something. Unless you know how to do smali editing then.. Anything is possible

How to re-arange apps (icons)

Hi is there a way to rearrange the app icons, I dont really care in what order but when you delete an app it leaves a space where the app used to be which looks weird.
Menu-button -> edit while in the drawer. Works just the way it does on the iphone from there on.

Thanks now I can drag them around but this still isnt that great if you have 7 or 8 pages each with a missing app in them takes a bit of fannying about to get thinks in order. isn't there an auto arrange or sorte by date/name etc?
still if not at least i can get things looking better so thank you.
It is strange how you can manually arrange the icons but there is no way to auto-arrange. Why not have some basic auto-arrange by alphabet name?
Is there a way to like arrange these by catagorie without having to arrange them yourself

yeahh, like are you able to create a folder in your app drawer?

HD2 Android gurus. Is it possible to change folder icon?

Is it possible to change folder icon from the default "folder" looking icon to something else? Is there an icon app? Thanks.
metamorph can change things like that. there is also another program i just forgot the name at the moment.
check out the evo forums a lot of the stuff they use we can use.

Thanks. I will check it out.
Solution found guys. There is an app on Market called "Folder Organiser Lite". Got everything customized through that app. Hope this helps those that were in my shoes.
I believe it only change shortcut icons, every icons in app drawer still the same.

You create "Labels" which equate to folders and then add apps to that label/Folder and assign an icon to that label/folder. Worked for me.

Well, I think that this is simply not possible.
You can hide the notification bar in your app but you cannot do this while other apps are in the foreground. You would need to use a custom ROM for that.
However, what would probably be possible is creating an overlay which is shown on top of the notification bar. Nevertheless apps will not be fullscreen, just your overlay will be displayed instead of the notification bar. (If you want to do this, have a look at the RoundR sources on github.) I do not think that this is what you want.
Modifiying the system UI from an app is not possible!
(And it is good that it is not. What would you say if an app removes your notification bar without your agreement? )

Looks like the dev is really clever. :good:
I have got an idea how he could have done it:
Create an overlay on the screen (look at some souce at github: https://github.com/MohammadAdib/RoundR , https://github.com/sukso96100/SidePanel)
If it is clicked, launch a transparent activity with this attribute in Android manifest: android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
After some time or after a click on the screen close it.
(No need for the status bar permission. It seems to be a one created by himselft.)
I think that this should work.

Yes, but you cannot tell the system how other apps should be shown.

Hide The Right Side! (Signal,Battery,Time)

Hey xda,
need some advice from u. I want to hide all the icons on the right side of my Statusbar. Things like Time, Battery, Signal,Wifi and so on. I used to use Wanam Xposed to do this but since XTouchWiz wanam removed theming options I can't do it that way anymore. I know of another module called something like flat style status bar icons but that's too much! I was wondering if one of u know another simpler way of doing this? a csc tweak/build.prop mod is welcomed. or a module.
Xposed download flat icons design. Amazing app. Completely configure the status bar.

I want something more simple. I just want to hide things not customize them. In order to hide I have to move those things outside of the visible area which sometimes messes up the position of normal notifications.

No, if you want to hide them, you select them then click hide.

Got mine this morning around 6AM. Was hesitant to install from all the complaining about the status bar but so far so good.
Does anyone know whether the adb command to show the nav bar for specific apps still works? I want to hide nav bar for all apps besides one.

Not sure about adb and the nav bar but they still work with SystemUI Tuner to get rid of the battery icon.

I just confirmed it works. One of my apps was breaking when the navigation bar was missing so I ran an ADB command to bring the nav bar whenever that activity was launched.
Sorry noob question, any way to make the navbar transparent or change to black? I tried navbar apps but it's pretty buggy
