I find myself using and enjoying the Qslide Apps on the the G2 quite a bit- especially the calculator and phone. If I install a new rom not based off the LG version, I will give up the Qslide Apps functionality. Is there any third party app/module that allows you to launch a few certain apps from the notification dropdown and keep it on a small window ontop of the active window like Qslide Apps do?

First off, please do not reply with "Try Launcher Pro" or anything similar. I have the paid version of LP and like it very much, but I also like the stock Gingerbread launcher, TYVM.
After using the stock launcher since picking up my NS on launch day, the only thing I'd like to tweak is the app drawer. I'd like the ability to change the scroll inertia as I miss being able to scroll through 200+ items with one or two strong flicks when I need to. I'd also like for it to remember my last position in the app drawer.
I'm sure that somewhere inside the apk (or elsewhere) these are configurable options that could be utilized by a 3rd party tweaking app, but have been unable to find such a thing.
Thanks.
I just want to replace the phone icon with the messaging icon, since I browse and text the most. I rarely make phone calls.
You would have to pull the stock launcher source code into eclipse, edit the code, the re compile and load it onto your device.
My hunch is you'd specifically have to change onSavedInstanceState or onRestoreInstanceState (or the onPause onResume) functions of the app drawer activity to memorize the app drawer location each time It's sent to the background.
For an experience that is supposed to be about customization, not sure why Google/Android wouldn't have these features implemented in the first place -- something as simple as changing say the icons on the dock, or the settings of the app drawer.
Do anyone know a way to hide an app without using a special launcher?Is there a terminal hack or something?
I been searching for a while and surprised that i haven't found much on this subject.
Not possible. You'll need to use a 3rd party launcher to hide apps from your app drawer.
I used Appsi as Sidebar launcher and complete app drawer replacement on my n7000 (didnt run touchwiz on it though).
Unfortunately this does not support multi-window and I don't want to use two sidebars lol.
So is there any other sidebar launcher out there that allows placing apps in multiwindow mode?
Or can you customize the look of the stock multiwindow sidebar somehow? I would like it to have smaller icons with the app name to the side. Maybe through some other app? Couldnt find anything and hoping someone can help.
is there any way to get Qslide or smallapps to be used like G2?
OK, I like the default VibeUI launcher which comes on MM, however I have 100+ apps installed, so it becomes confusing to find an app. I make folders for better organization but it is lot of work, and it gets lost everytime I do update
I tried catapult, it automatically paginates alphabetically and is light too, however It doesn't quick search feature like Vibe (by swiping up) which I really use,
I also tried nano launcher which is also very light, however It doesn't have resizable widgets on front page otherwise it would have been perfect
And BTW does VibeUI support lock screen widgets, I can't seem to find an option to enable it ?
Any others I should try ?
Google now.. Use it on most of my phones..
After trying more than 10 different launchers, I have zeroed in on Solo Launcher with Search Bar Ex widget. It works as great combo.
I recommend a very good app organizer called Smart Shortcuts. It works with ANY launcher and keeps your apps organized in folders. I also recommend Swapps....it gives you an app window on the side of your screen, so that you can access your apps at any time. In fact, you can put folders from Smart Shortcuts on your Swapps menu. As for launchers, I use Hola launcher as it is small, light and fast. I have not upgraded to MM yet, but it all works well under lollipop.
