I use a combination of xhalo & rocketdial, I tried using the stock dialer but it doesn't scale correctly.

Where can i find these apps?

Xhalo floating Windows is an xposed module, you will need to be rooted and have the xposed framework installed in order to use the module. Information about all of this including file downloads can be found here on XDA Developers. Rocket dial is a dialer replacement app that can be found in the play store.

thanks just downloaded xHalo, but not working for stock phone app, for some reason play store isn't working here, i'll check it with rocket dial when it starts working.

Another way of achieving this would be to use Widget Windows, and Simple Dialer Widget, both can be found on the play store.
Widget Windows allows you to create a floating window of any widget you have installed, you can customize size and transparency.
Simple Dialer Widget is just that, a dialer widget that is minimal in design and offers dial pad, call log, and contacts tabs.
Floating widgets created through Widget Windows can be minimized to an icon that can be freely moved anywhere on your screen. Tapping the icon will re expand the widget.
You can use another program called Custom Notifications to pin a shortcut of the Simple Dialer floating widget to your notification panel for easy access.

How do i do it?

I would like to be able to swipe a certain spot on my screen and switch to expanded desktop is there a way for me to setup a shortcut like that?
I have searched the web and i cant find any free simple ways of doing this so some help would be great.

There's no simple way to do that unfortunately. Might be a good option to have available from the Nav Ring (quick launch targets) now that you mention it however. As far as how to code that, not a clue.
The most efficient, currently availalbe, way I've found is to have an expanded desktop quick settings tile. I can open the quick settings panel with a gesture from a launcher screen and select it from there.
Can't you do this with the app gesture control?
Ok ignore that. Just checked and you can only hide status bar. Not enter expanded desktop mode

Open one app from another?

Are there any apps that will let me open up 1 app when it looks like another? For example if I put the messaging app on my home screen can I press it and make it actually open the email app instead?

Nova launcher....can change app icons. Not sure what you really are trying to do though.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
Well the problem is when you move the apps to the sd card..if you reboot they drop out of any folders you have on the homescreen. So I was trying to have a system app, change the icon and name and have it open an sd card app so it remains on a reboot. Was just a theory I wanted to see if it works as a workaround for the apps dropping out after a reboot

Pretty sure it would be impossible. The icons are like shortcuts in windows. A pretty little graphic that calls a command (in this case am) to open the app. The reason it drops is the OS is attempting to be smart and since it can't find the app on boot (sdcard has to be mounted first) is drops the shortcut.
Only suggestion is try a widget that lets you make shortcuts.
Edit
Or try a shortcut app like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut
Or

I found a semi decent workaround ..in Nova Launcher there's a swipe action feature when you can set an app to open a different app when you swipe it vs pressing it. So I took a non sd app, changed the icon to the icon of the app I wanted to open and changed the name to the app I wanted to open..then added a "-s" after it so I know it's a swipe action app. Not bad..

How to hide apps in App Drawer

Hi,
I cant seem to find the option to hide the apps in the app drawer. Coming from an S3, I was able to go into the menu and select hide/unhide apps.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

It was there before but seems to have vanished now.
If it does not work to go to the app drawer and press menu, then I would suggest a aftermarket launcher. That's the best I cam some up with, I don't own a Note 3.

Hey Guys,
On the Note 3 there has been a bit of a change:
• Hide applications (replaced with disable applications, which is now combined with uninstall applications as an option)

Note 3 Widgetlocker problem

Having a problem with Widgetlocker on my Note 3...
Installed Widgetlocker via direct purchase from teslacoilsw.com. Software is installed & basically 'works', but I'm unable to pull up the Add menu via long press. Tool mode and/or lockscreen...neither pull up the Add menu. What's strange is I get some haptic feedback during long press in tool mode and if I tap around a bit & can get random stuff to happen (like adding an app shortcut to the screen). It's like the menu is 'there' but it's not visible or something. Any suggestions?
Reinstalled & all's good now...nm. (mods, delete post if needed)
~thx
Hi,having the same problem...for my case if you used custom wallpaper then the add menu is like hidden behind the wallpaper,maybe you need to check using custom wallpaper first
Sent the dev an email and he's looking into it. I found that using an alternate wallpaper doesn't do good either.

Would love to be able to send the developer and email. After figuring a way to install on the Note 3, since it shows unavailable for Note 3 on "play" - now I have the pull down notification bar sitting "behind" whatever I add to my Widgetlocker screen...making the pull down virtually unusable...maybe if you could tell me how to submit this to developer...?

On the play store I believe there is a link. As a work around I hide the notification bar and use Dashclock. I also think the dev just became a "daddy" so we may have to wait a bit.

I was wondering how you could hide the lockscreen notification bar.
I am using nova launcher prime and that easily lets me hide the homescreen notification bar but I couldn't figure out how to disable it on lockscreen.

How to enable themes on the att lg g2

I share this gem with you courtesy of someone called Leftarmspinner.
TO ENABLE THEMES ON THE ATT LG G2.
1. Download and install Launcher Pro from Google Play (you don't need to set it as default launcher or anything) and Later you can uninstall. This enables the hidden settings menu, which most of us have done one way or another.
2. Add Activities widget to your LG Launcher home screen. Search for Home > com.lge.launcher2.hiddenmenu.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity
3. Voilà now you have access to hidden settings from your Home screen. Look for the setting feature_use_theme and check it off.
4. You can now use themes!!!! How cool.

Go to the op
Here is another way
Anyway guys, I found a solution to acces to the hidden setting without installing Launcher Pro.
Just get "Any Shortcut" on the market (here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oboenikui.anyshortcut)), then create a shortcut with these parameters :
*Application :* com.lge.launcher2
*Activity :* com.lge.launcher2.hiddenmenu.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity (without a space between "Activ" and "ity" !)
*Action :* nothing
*Intent :* nothing
(See screenshot in attachment).
Then : create, your shortcut is done !
And you have access to the launcher hidden settings
