Just unpacked the Silver G5...some quick questions
1) Is there a setting (like the V10) to create a loop when swiping through home screens?
2) I'm not missing the app drawer yet, but there is no "3rd" option like the UX 5.0 video I saw. Does that need to be downloaded from the LG App store?
Thanks

If you download the Home(UX 4.0) theme that brings back the app drawer, there's an option to allow home screen looping in the settings.

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

I think he is talking about creating a shortcut to "My Apps" in marketplace.
I don't know a way yet.

just as any shortcut that is used to ease your common activities
otherwise why use shortcuts at all
why place anything on homescreen
Nova & AOSP Quick Settings shortcuts/activities... wow, really getting into this now!
I know that Nova has always had "shortcuts" that you can play with.
And the same for AOSP Quick Settings "custom shortcuts".
Just starting to really get into these options now and some of them are very powerful. Between "Activities" and "Shortcuts" and "Browser Favorites", my Quick Settings is really starting to fill up.
My favorite one so far is I swipe down Quick Settings and click a button and it takes me directly to a Create New Calendar Event page.
Same for my Touch Tunes app. Click a button and it takes me directly to the Search for Music page. No more opening the app and clicking several buttons to get where I want to go.
What kind of cool activity/shortcuts have you set up with Nova or Quick Settings? And does anyone know how to edit the name of a Quick Settings custom shortcut?
I haven't done much with it yet. Just kind of got into it yesterday. This is what I've got so far.
Nice, I knew we could edit the quick settings, didn't know we could add our own

"Activities" is powerful but if you wanna go wild use it in conjunction with Tasker. You need to be rooted and have Tasker, Busy Box & Secure Settings installed. Furthermore, there are more potent ways/apps out there that harness the power of "activities", gestures and other goodies, one notable being LMT (the pie) and surely don't overlook the power of "scenes" in Tasker. Try combining them all and you'll get to really appreciate the underlying power of Android (in a burst of enthusiasm and amazement).
Ex: I set 4 screen-brightness-presets in Tasker and assigned them in LMT (gestures) using two finger swipe (up for A Brightness, down for lowest, and another 2 intermediary levels for right to left / left to right. The beauty comes from the fact that it works even over the locked screen (pattern). This way I no longer use any conventional settings for brightness...and keep in mind this is merely one example out of many others

Google Phone Edition. Basically the pure vanilla / "Nexus" version of the Galaxy S4: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4?id=samsung_galaxy_s4&hl=en
Then no, the Quick Settings won't work with it.
Or any Touch Wiz phone.
But Nova Actions will work.

I don't quite understand your question. Do you want to put Google camera at your homescreen? or do you want to just change the icon of the Google camera?
Well if you want to do the first one, then you just have to drag and drop the icon at your homescreen, and if you want to do the latter one then you should install a third party launcher.

Hello Digigoon,
I would like to do the same as iMaxime.
We do not want to change icon in HOME screen, we would like to change application triggered by LOCK screen icon.
That is... we may not be able to have the fast picture feature in-build in Honor camera app, but we would be able to launch the third-party camera app from the lock screen. May be more complicated than that, but could you please help us? Is this even possible?
Cordially,
Xavi

As far as I know, you can't do that with stock ROM (or any that isnt customizable on that way). You'll need to download a launcher or an app do costumize your lockscreen

You may try and freeze the native camera app and install the app you want. If there is no FC, then any shortcut will lead to Google Camera as it will be assumed as the default (only) camera app.
I´ve removed myself some useless system apps and some others just can´t be removed. Never tried camera.
Settings > Apps > Advanced > Default App Settings > Camera.
If you change it from there, doesn't it get changed from the lock screen?

You can use a method described by Paul O'Brian but you will have to dig for it a bit.
I don't recall specifically but he used something like
pm.hide.something
To hide the native app and use the one you want. After that, it will use your custom app.
Tag him in the post and he can clarify more.
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.

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"

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

FYI: There are many home screen switcher apps available few are virus too thats why sharing link which I installed and tested.

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

Hey Comrades,
Just wanted to share this tidbit with all folks concerned, posted on Sammobile's website pertaining to our brethren rocking the carrier-locked handsets, SM,-N981U & SM-N986U respectively (SM-N986U1, NOPE)!
I have included/shared the link as posted via Sammobile's site:

Yeah, I always find the trailing of GoodLock modules support disheartening. I rely on a lot of modifications to get things exactly how I want them...and now I have to live without those mods again until GoodLock catches up...likely just in time for Android 12's release.
That said, I finally took the plunge and installed it last night. I did find one other bug that could trip some folks up: If you had a 3rd party Home app selected before upgrade, you may find that pressing the Back button while in Recents screen (coming to Recents from Home) will bring up One UI Home instead of your chosen 3rd party Home app.
To correct:
goto Settings > Apps > Choose Default Apps
You'll likely see "None" as the Home App default, even if your desired 3rd party Home app is coming up properly when you press...well...the Home button
At any rate, select "One UI Home" as your default Home app temporarily, which will exit settings and take you to One UI Home because...well...reasons
go back to Settings > Apps > Choose Default Apps and select your desired 3rd party Home app once again as your default
Now your proper 3rd party Home app will be presented when pressing the Back button while in Recents screen.
