Disable "search apps" in home screen - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is there a way to disable the "Search applications" menu when you swipe down in the homescreen?
Thanks!

I'm interested too. I tried with GMD gesture control but the gesture is still executed.
Probably only solution is to manually find and change the code in Xperia launcher (or change the launcher if it really bothes you)

Yeah, tried other launchers, but I prefer this one from Sony. It blends well with the phone...
If you find something please post it here...

[Q] How do I customize double tap Home in CM7?

When I was running stock on the Atrix, I used HomeSmack to allow me to customize a specific app to launch when I double tapped the Home key.
How can I configure the double tap Home action on CM7? I don't know if HomeSmack would still work, or if it would screw something up.
many Launchers allow you to customize the home screen behavior, such as ADW Launcher EX or Launcher Pro

No, they typically let you customize a long press, not a double tap.
I'm using LauncherPro. I need a seperate method to do this, if I'm not mistaken.
As far as I know, it doesn't exist in CM7

Ah. I didn't realize it was a Motorola specific function. Since it worked on stock, I assumed it was something that was enabled through Android.
Ah well, it was worth a shot. Thanks.

Quick Launcher for Apps

Looking for a good "Quick Launcher" to use with GestureControl. GestureControl has a "Launchpad" which is pretty good, but a little basic, and slow to come up. I've seen videos on youtube with nice launchers for Acer devices ( Looks like a circle type launcher ) and also one for the Iconia which runs the Windows OS, it's also a circle type launcher. Was wondering if anyone has any good apps for assigning a gesture to the app via GestureControl then having the app overlay pop up and you can select an app to run that you've configured to show there.
This would be a great addition to use in conjunction with GestureControl, couldn't find much looking on the play store due to the fact that searching for "launcher" even with modifier words shows mostly desktop launchers( ADW, Go Launcher, Apex, etc... ) and their themeing counterparts.
I've seen SwipePad in the app store, although thats a "Drag circle onto app" type launcher, not sure how this would work with GestureControl. I'm using the Transformer Prime with a dock, so I'd like to just make a gesture, see a small popup with icons( would be really nice if we had an app that showed apps you wanted to quick launch and running apps underneath that or something to that effect ) so I can choose the app with the touchpad or touching the screen( or keyboard shortcut would be nice too but I can hack that part out after I find a good app )

Have you tried wave launcher?

Looks pretty interesting ... Can you assigne a GestureControl gesture to it, so I could do, say, a 3 finger expand to see it, or a 3 finger drag down from top border to show it instead of the default settings?
Good find, still interested in what other people have tried out too though
EDIT: Checked out "Smart Taskbar" which is pretty good, but couldn't get a gesture to activate it ( Even tried Nova Launcher's "Activities" but there isn't one to activate the overlay ) that app would be pretty decent, although kinda big for a tablet screen. Yea, I know, maybe I'm just beeing too picky lol
Wave launcher stays at bottom always and opens when you tell it to. Really think itd suit your needs. If you do try it let me know how it goes. I use it and it saves alot of time.
If you try go launcher you can set swipe up or swipe down in order to launch gesture launcher.

[Q] Creating a shortcut to 'Applications'

Hey, I just factory reset my sisters Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and have a little shortcut problem.
It seems no matter how I try i cannot make a shortcut to the Applications category.
If i press and hold the home screen i can add widgets/shortcuts to specific applications but I would like to create a shortcut for the whole 'Apps' category since it is not there.
Anyone know how you can fix this?

If you use Nova Launcher you can create as many shortcuts for the apps drawer you may want, wherever you want.

Yeah but do you really have to use a launcher? I mean jesus christ there has got to be a function in the OS for this.
Not that I don't appreciate the tip though, I'm just really astounded if this is not the case.

You are already using a launcher, TW Launcher; but you can switch.
What you are asking for is launcher dependant, and must be supported by it.

Okay is there any way to customize the original launcher?
I mean, this is strange, surely there's gotta be a way to do this natively somehow?

Which menu are trying to move icons around on? Or are you referring to the home screen or home launcher? If so, is it the launcher that comes with the phone or one you installed from an app store? What phone and what software update does it have? Did you root and install a custom recovery or just root only?

Try "Nova Launcher" if your device is Android 4.0+. Prime version is the launcher I#m using at the moment. Highy customizable and pretty fast
Complete free solution: Mini Launcher

Well, when you have the Red X there and the icons move around, that is the uninstall app option. Should just be able to hit the back button to get out of that part. Make sure there isn't an option in the settings of the home screen that lock the desktop, which prevents moving of icons and widgets around. If you are trying to sort them a custom way in the actual app drawer, it's very likely that the stock Sony home launcher does not have this option. Like the other member mentioned, check out the Nova launcher, or the Apex Launcher. Both have free and paid versions with lots of ability to customize to your liking as well as running very smoothly on most devices.
my fault

Topic should be closed. I have solution. Simply - this file (probably with ending php) contains some infos, so the icons from menu were set in most used order. Sorry for my oversight. Dope with me

Wallpaper scrolling

Hi It's officially a week that I've had my Oneplus 7T Pro. So far loving it, had some hiccups rooting and found out there's no working Twrp for us yet but was able to Root through Magisk.
Ok down to the matter does anybody no how to disable the wallpaper scrolling ? I really find it annoying and all my other phones in settings you're able to do it so far no luck with the OnePlus unless I'm blind. I've read that in order to do that you need to use another launcher like Nova.
I did, it worked but I liked to have that function on OnePlus Launcher cause to transition from app drawer to notification I can just swipe up and down, on Nova I have to from the very top for notification and for app drawer I have to swipe from the arrow. Anybody else experiencing this? Any help would be appreciated thanks. Never Settle Peace.

There's no option to disable wallpaper scrolling on stock launcher. But you can add gestures in Nova to support swipe down for notification panel and swipe up for app drawer

For the Wallpaper scrolling thing, if you select an image the correct dimensions for just one screen, I think it stays where it is. Only when you have wider images does it paginate I think.

Go to gallery, open the picture you want to set as a wallpaper,
1. If you want a non-scrolling one, click on 'set as' and then select open with Gallery
2. If you want a scrolling one, click on 'set as' and then select one plus launcherr
