Nova Launcher home screen icons can have two actions: one on press and one on slide. I have created a QuickPic shortcut that takes me to a certain gallery, so right now the shortcut is QuickPic Gallery Activity on press and launch regular QuickPic on slide. I'd like to swap those actions so the gallery Activity is launched when the icon is slid up. However, this can't be done by conventional methods because linking the slide up action to the QuickPic Gallery Activity lacks the required parameter (the gallery to open). Is there a way to switch both actions or to manually edit the shortcut with a text editor?

Hey.
I use another sms app and I want to make it so when I press "Messaging" icon which is on the main screen to open that app rather than the stock messaging app....?
I know I can drag the stock icon to the home screen, but I like the stock messaging icon and want to use that for this app......
please let me know
edit read wrong
Download the app Desktop Visualizer and use that instead
- nvm thought you could do it this way but it's not working for the icon -
Long-press home screen to get to the menu
Custom shortcut -> Applications -> Pick your activity (in this case: your alternate SMS app like Handcent or Chomp)
Press the logo on the left of "Pick your activity" and change it to the default Messaging icon
thanks, but looks like it would not use the default launcher, but it will use launcherpro or any other launcher.......
I'm trying to set up a shortcut to open the JB quick settings window (the one you get by swiping the corner of the status bar, or swiping with two fingers, depending on your preference), and I can't seem to find a command for it anywhere. Not in Tasker, not in the Activities list, and no widget in the Play store that opens it with a tap. Oddly, I can use the Nova Launcher "Nova Actions" menu to create an "expand quick settings" button, but it can only sit on the home screen, while I want to add a button to my quick launch. If I could just create a widget or shortcut that toggles that button it'd work fine, but I can't find the functionality anywhere.
I'm running CM10.1. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
On HTC ONE you pull your notifications down with 2 fingers.
I found a Watchface solution using Smartlauncher and Zooper Widget pro. With smartlauncher it's possible to create a Fullscreen (Zooper) Widget on the Lockscreen. I created 4 Watchfaces on this way. I will post a instruction for it right here.

This Watchface Solution is composed of two parts:
A) a handfree background picture
B) a zooper widget to add the Minute Hand, the Hour Hand, the Akku Hand, the Date and the Notification Counter
Before starting, go to Settings and disable Screen lock.
The Smartlauncher allows to create a fullsize-Widget on the Lockscreen. First, we have to install Smartlauncher and Zooper Widget on the Gear.
After installing this two Apps, we have to change some Settings in the Smartlauncher. First, click at the search Bar and hold. Settings will open. Choose Settings and deactivate the search Bar. Then go back to the lock screen. Click on the Clock and delete. At least, delete the five Bubbles on the same way.
Now, go to the Settings of the Launcher by clicking on the Circle With the 4 Dots, then tap on the right upper side on the 3 dots. Choose Settings.

Now go to Android Settings. Moove to Display and LED- extended Desktop. Disable Status bar and Navigation bar for the Smartlauncher. (Don’t worry, both will return with a short swipe for a few seconds)
Afterwards you to to Zooper Widget. Disable just the Status Bar.
Now we have a complete empty Lockscreen. We can use it for a Fullscreen Zooper Widget (with the exception of 5mm of the bottom side of the screen). With a swipe to the right you will enter the App-Index.
You have to put the downloaded Picture blau.PNG in the Galery Folder of the Gear. I choose the way to send it per Mail to the Gear and save it.
Then we have to go to Gallery, choose the Backround picture, on the upper right Side choose this Photo as background. At least confirm Background on the upper side.
Next Step is conecting the Gear with your Computer. Open the Storage of the Gear, open Zooper Widget, and here the folder autosave. Put the downloaded widgets in the folder Autosave. Then put „minimal“ from the Download in the folder iconsets. After that, disconect the Gear and the Computer.
Now go to Lockscreen, click on it and hold. A Window will open. -Choose widget –Zooper widget pro –Zooper Widget 4x4. A shaded window will open.
Widget tap to open. Scroll down to Autosave. Choose Widget6. Then scroll down to „widget tap Action“ Choose „disable“.
At least to back to Homescreen with the navigation Bar and wait a moment. Congrats, your Gear s get back it’s watchface.
Hi Nova Team,
could you please consider to allow an App Shortcut action as swipe up action for icons.
Currently the actions when swiping over an icon are "Nova", "Apps" and "Shortcuts".
It would be pretty useful to start something like Spotify Search or Phonograph shuffle mode when swiping up the icon.
Thanks for consideration
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
Do you mean besides opening the app drawer, putting your finger on the FB icon, then dragging onto the pane for the home screen you want it on? I set up a blank (invisible) Zooper widget in the top right corner of my screen that launches my FB app (I use Frindly instead of the actual FB one, though). I run a very minimalistic homescreen so that was the best path for me.
