Hey
I was wondering if it is possible to create a shortcut on my home menue that starts n64oid and then automatically lets say Ocarina of Time and lets me setup an custom icon for that shortcut? would be pretty cool to have one page with just n64 icons/games that start automatically the mulator+ rom =)
Is that possible? Would be very cool.
I've never used n64oid, but this is the case for GBCoid by the same dev, so I would assume it's similar. When I long press on my home screen, and select to add a shortcut, one of the options is "GB/GBC game" (obviously for you this would be "N64 game"). I can then select a ROM and enter a name, and it'll create a shortcut to that game. As for a custom icon, you'll need a launcher that supports changing the icons on shortcuts, by default it'll have the emulator icon (I think a lot of launchers can do that - one that definitely can is Launcher Pro).
seems not to work with n64oid.
edit: it works. Nice!
... It is impossible.
There was an PAID around 5$ app which could launch games for all launchers but if the emulator app doesnt support it then it wont work.

He said it works...
indeed it does.
i wonder if there is a another app for this. there are many emulator that does not support those shortcut features to load a rom from the homescreen.
does anybody know?
i want to use it with deskop virtualizer (with genisis, gbc,gba and n64 it works but only because they do have a shortcut feature)
it would be nice if mame4droid had this

The only app I found was "My Boy! - GBA Emulator" that allows ROMs to be used as shortcuts on home screen requiring the app to open to automatically to load it according to what the description says. How about looking for a file shortcut application. All you have to do is label and type the file URL to load it for it appear as a shortcut on the home screen of your phone.
If anyone still cares
I have found a way to conceivably do this with any ROM and any emulator.

If you type in *#*#4636#*#* you get to the testing page. I couldn't help but notice that when you are done with using the testing page and you go back to the home screen and "long hold" Home, to get the pop up of most recent application used, the testing page is one of those options. If it can do that, shouldn't this mean that it would be easy to make an application of this? Rather than dialing *#*#4636#*#* each and every time.
I am in no means able to develop something like this, but this would be a cool development for those who are not rooted.

i think the spare parts app is already available at the market?
edit: hm, ok.. phone information is missing @ spare parts i think
Never noticed,..you are right.
Nice idea
I beleive you can create a shortcut to the testing menu using Bettercut

Im currently using the ICS Browser+ as my default browser, but when i when press it the browser button i get sent to the stock one. Is there anyway to change this?
I would like to see if there's an answer to this as well. Thanks ahead of time.
Wow, I think this is one of the first questions I've seen that _hasn't_ been incredibly stupid or didn't sound like it wasn't a post by a whiny 12 yr old.
I will dig around this week and see what I can find.

I did a bit of searching and wasn't able to find any threads with an answer...granted, I'm not prefect , so perhaps I glazed over it.

I don't know how to change the row of buttons at the top of the keyboard, but you can create your own custom shortcuts to launch applications:

Search+b launches browser already, but you can change it to launch whatever application you want (including a different browser).

I must be blind..Where is the browser button. I assume you don't mean the normal browser Icon because that will open the original browser (regardless of your default).
When I hit the google search I am asked what browser to open (I haven't set a default browser yet)
If you want that default browser icon for Browser+ then I think you may be able to just change the Browser+ Icon

tap and hold on the home screen and pick the shortcut of the application if you are having samsung based rom, if on MIUI all the shortcuts are already on the home screen
Edit : you are talking about downloaded apps? not found yet in samasung, in HTC sence it is there sorted seperately....system & dowloaded
of course the downloaded apps
maybe some tweaker here finds a way

otherwise why use shortcuts at all

FYI if you run the following command in ADB setting a 3rd party launcher as the default, it will switch back to Gesture Nav.
Code:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
I love Nova and this works great for me.

On my S10+ there was a weird navigation bug using the adv command to enable gestures. Do you experience anything different on the S20?
There is a quick flash that makes the multi task view show for a fraction of a second, but it is super quick and totally bearable.
I love you. Super needed this.
Is there anyway to have this continue after a reboot? It seems to stop working after one.
Yeah worked for me as well - seems like a little lag but overall bearable.
Works with Shade Launcher! Thanks!

The manufacturers need make Google's patch that fix this issue available, most OEMs haven't made it available yet. Without root, there isn't a way to make it stick or work flawless unless we get that patch

You have to turn on USB Debugging in Developer settings and have adb on your PC. Connect your phone to your PC then run the adb command in terminal.
I'm patiently waiting and hoping they patch this so I can go back to Nova i don't have a PC to do this method

You can use the onehand operation+ app from the galaxy store instead. I find it even better than the default Samsung's gesture in term of customization. Work with Nova

I second that. One Hand Operation+ is awesome. I have been using it on S9+. As an addition I encourage to use other GoodLock apps with the use of NiceLock.

One handed operation app is awesome. I use it too.
What I am looking for, personally, is way to have a similar task switcher like Android 10 default in junction with this. I super hate the 3 button layout but I want the Google feed so I had to swap to a new launcher.
"Vivid NG" app is all you need
So I enabled Onehanded Operation+, and when I set Nova as my default launcher, it still seems to want to use the other navigation buttons along with Onehanded Operation+ . Is there a way to only use Onehanded Operation+ and hide or disable the system navigation?
I recently got the Reno 3 Pro. Great phone so far.
When I installed my favorite launcher, I found out, that there is no possibility to set/keep it as standard.
In app management>default app the content for Homescreen is missing ....
Got the latest ColorOS update.

Strange, I have the home screen option in default app settings as attached.
I would suggest install some other launcher and click home, it will ask you to choose which should be default as checkbox, choose your fav launcher and uninstall the other launcher.

Did you try installing some other new launcher and try to click home button which should ask what launcher to use, there you can see check box always use the same launcher.

Yes, I did. When I then click the home button it asks me whether I want to set the new launcher as standard launcher - so far ok. When I then click yes, then I get the screen with "standard home app" saying "no app"

Can you try installing QuickHomeSwitcher and see if it shows other launchers for you to select.

Thank you, I tried the app, but whenever I open it, it's not going to open but switches immediately to the first screen (Homescreen) of the oppo Reno standard launcher.
What I do now is, I start my favorite launcher and it runs like a normal app. To keep it open, I always have to switch back to it in the recent app list. When I end/kill it, then of course I get the standard launcher Homescreen back.
Very strange for me too, I have been working with many smartphones yet, also rooting and flashing things forwards and backwards but not yet encountered a problem like this
Enclosed a picture of my given default app list where Homescreen is simply missing
