Can anyone help me with changing my nexus 4 lockscreen camera widget to another app? (I' Don't like the default camera app, thus i am using procapture)
Anyone got any solution?
I disabled the widgets in LockScreen due to too many accidental swipes before unlocking.
When you swipe to the right on the lockscreen, and choose the camera, doesnt it ask you with what application it should open?
It doing that on my phone, and i could choose another camera app to open when activating the widget on the lockscreen.
I've seen a few people mention reluctance moving onto a 3rd party launcher because you lose the ability to turn off your screen by double tapping but there is a way you can do this with Nova and or other third party launchers with gesture controls.
1) Download a free app called Screen Off from Google Play and set it up
2) Set your Double Tap setting to launch Screen Off
Your screen will now turn off just as if you were using the LG launcher.
Alternatively, and with no need for a third party app, just double tap the status (notifications) bar

Or also at the navigation bar with tweaksbox.
Nova launcher comes with gestures where you can set to double tap anywhere to screen off.

Actually it doesn't (unless you're rooted maybe?)
Gestures that you can setup in native Nova do not include screen off.

Correct.....
The only way to do this is with a third-party app which I explained to everyone (thank you by the way for your thanks) in a different topic here.
For me, I just have xposed>gravity box
and go to nova sett.>gestures(need prime)>double-tap>shortcuts>gravity box>screen off.
DONE.

Where is "actions"? I only see Nova, Apps, Shortcuts. And I have Prime.

I have not been able to get the double tap gesture in nova to work at all. I've tried setting it to multiple different actions or apps, and no matter how fast or slow I double tap nothing happens. All other gestures work fine. For the time being I've settled with double swiping down to activate Screen Off.
Has anyone else had this problem with their G3 and Nova?

Look at my post above (post 6 in this topic) and click on the link I give.
This will take you to the topic where I mention what app to install and what actions you need to carry out in order to make it work.
Works fine for me. So far I have never pressed the power button on my G3.
Action Launcher Pro supports Double Tap to lock screen feature.
The problem I am facing with nova, apex...etc that I have exchange security enabled by my employer, all the guesters and third party apps that i tried is locking the phone with the Pin not just shutting the screen, the double tab on the stock launcher shuts the screen but does not lock the phone.
Did anyone find a work around using third party launcher or app ?
Thanks

Sorry Shortcuts
KK Launcher is pretty comparable to Nova and Apex, and it has native support built into it to double-tap your screen to turn the screen off. I've been using this launcher with my Nexus 5 for a while now and have been quite happy with it (compared to Nova). (I'm supposed to get my G3 later today, so I can't speak as to how KK Launcher performs on it yet).

That's exactly why I use the Touchdown app for my exchange mail. Don't have to worry about the exchange security requirement taking over my darn phone...

I believe the latest beta version of G3 TweaksBox has a setting to get around the security features when using Exchange. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792242
Thanks a million, its working like charm, now i can use whatever launcher.
I have Nova as well and works fine just double tapping the status bar. Seemingly works better than LG'S...
Seams like there are a lot of different ways that everyone has to do this.
For me, I have been using Tasker to get double tap off with Nova Launcher gestures since the G2. Tasker is such a great app with about a million uses, I highly recommend everyone check it out. I have it setup to auto connect to different wifi's depending on my location, adjust screen brightness/ringer volumes depending on the time of day, and many others.
Action launcher is the best
Anyone else? Every 3rd party Lockscreen I've ever used on any TouchWiz phone all have the same behavior. Much of the time they work great. But randomly when It turn on my phone, it goes right to the desktop. No Lockscreen comes up.
And once in awhile, the stock lockscreen comes up instead of the 3rd party lockscreen.
And if I disable the stock lockscreen, then still, the 3rd party lockscreen won't come up once in awhile.
Anyone know of a way to make 3rd party lockscreens more reliable?
I've tried converting them to /system/app and it didn't help at all.
I'm currently using Locker Master (really neat) because it hides the status bar and I love that feature.
I also use Widget Locker Pro and some others such as C-Locker. All have the same issue. I had the same problem with my Galaxy S4 and probably phones before that.
Any suggestions?
Even when I select Nova launcher as my default, it goes to touchwiz theme when I press recent apps button. Please help me with this. Tried hard reset but no use
Just force close touchwiz.
I have a few questions after 2 days of usage. I'm used to Nexus, where almost everything is possible.
So few things, that annoy me.
Navigation bar:
Is it possible to make it transparent using (my favourite) Nova launcher? I set Nova to 18:9, but it's still not trasnparent ...
HW buttons remap
Is there any mod to remap HW buttons (when screen is off) to any other app than camera and QuickMemo
Lockscreen shortcut
Is it possible to show shortcuts on locksreen even if scrren lock method is "Swipe" - so without pin/pattern, etc...
If you choose any other method, shortcuts are there.
Stock dialer - search
Is somehow possible to set that stock dialer show all search result (when using T9 search) instead of just one and using down arrow to show others ...
Navigation bar should be transparent in Nova, try updating all apps to the latest versions.
I'm looking for HW button remaps too, for now i am using Tasker to do stuff for me.
I can set Lockscreen Shortcuts on "normal" swipe unlock, should work.
Not sure about the dialer, i don't see any extra settings anywhere for the dialer.

You can remap volume up with Key Plus.

Found that app, thanks.
But, remap is only usefull for led light on/off. If you set any other app (i tried dialer) phone wakes, but you still have to unlock it (swipe, pattern, whatever you have ...) before you see app.
