[Q] can you change this??? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure what its called but with the new TW update, there is a quick launch on the status bar with task, calender, world clock, pen memo, calculator, and music player.
My question is can you change these default apps to something else? and what is it called?

I do not believe so. What you will find is some of these can only be accessed by this bar or a widget. Task manager takes up alot of space on the home screen (widget wise.) So I find I'd prefer the mini app version in the mini launcher.
It would be nice if this evolve to be a row of mini apps and a row of quick access shortcuts to real apps.

[Q] trigger lockscreens

I'm running the latest redux build and without paying close enough attention briefly had a lockscreen with several tiles that went to music messaging etc plus a weather widget. I have not seen it in any screenshot. It went away after a couple of timeouts by itself and I can't find it in any cm or trigger options. I had the stock music player open with an app called free music download also open. Thanks
Are you talking about the 4 tab lockscreen?

There was a single sliding tab with 5-6 icon sized tiles for direct links to various apps right off the lockscreen. There was a weather widget on it too. I've not been able to reproduce it. I have rotary revamp as my lockscreen, it appeared and disappeared within a couple of activations. The icons were similar to live tiles but smaller. It was interesting.

unused but active Widgets!?

Hi,
I have many different Launchers with many widgets and different layouts installed and i like to switch them every few days.
For my Problem imagine this case:
-ADW.Launcher has a clock widget placed
-LauncherPro has a weather widget placed
now, even though i have the LauncherPro set as default launcher the clock widget stays active (i see it in running tasks)
is there a way to disable this without removing the widgets from the homescreen temporary?
thanks for your help
Noone?

[Q] Is there a way to create a short cut to Accuweather app?

I like the app but hate the widget...so is there a way to do this?
Grab AnyCut (F-Droid has it), create an AnyCut shortcut on the home screen and set its activity to WeatherWidgetMain

cool, lemme try that out.
Well, Any Cut crashes on my gs3....any other ideas?
Are you trying to add the shortcut by running AnyCut from its icon in the application drawer? Instead, make space for a shortcut on your homescreen and drag AnyCut from the Widgets section of the application drawer. It works for me on both Nova Launcher Prime and the TouchWiz Launcher. I forgot to state this earlier, sorry about that, but the shortcut takes you to the list of cities you configured - even if there's only one - so you must select your city in order to see the overview.
Resolved.
There is actually a Galaxy S3 Weather app on Play Store that creates an app shortcut for the default Accuweather widget.
It will be handy if Any Cut works on the GS3 though.

App Suggestions - Looking for a certain one???

An app like Action Launcher Pro that works on Gingerbread? I really don't feel like switching a fully undeveloped ICS Rom just for one app but have been looking for something like this...
Or like QuickDroid or the ADWLauncher search bar with the six dots in it as well.
Kinda like Smart Taskbar but with a widget bar option that also allows you to search within the box.
Is there such an app, or will I have to settle for Smart Taskbar?
Any suggestions?

[Q] Widget Page app?

Is there a widget which allows for Blinkfeed/Windows Phone-like widgets on one home screen? I have a few widgets I would all like to be on the same page so I can scroll down and use them all like Google Now but not lose normal functionality or switch launchers.
Thanks
