    Android Questions: Launch apps from widget

    Android Questions: Launch apps from widget


    Launch apps from widget

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 08:04 AM PST

    I'm trying to get a very specific look for my homescreen (Nova Launcher) and I'm hoping custom widgets are my answer.

    Basically I'd like a widget that just launches an app when you click it (so functionally the same as an app icon), or ideally with mulitple app-launching buttons side by side (so functionally the same as two app icons side-by-side) or else something that lets you launch apps after a few presses (so functionally like an app folder).

    I never use widgets and this is a pretty niche use case, so can anyone give some advice or at least let me know if this is possible? I've been downloading custom widget makers all day and haven't had much luck

    Developer mode not showing even after clicking build number many times

    Posted: 17 Feb 2021 10:44 PM PST

    I am trying to root s7 edge and when i click on build number to activate it says "No need, developer mode has already been enabled". Yet I can't find it anywhere in my settings.

    I've tried clearing the settings app data and rebooting several times but none of it has worked. Even tried some developer mode shortcut apps and even they didn't work. What could be going wrong?

    Gesture navigation in games

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 10:37 AM PST

    Pixel 4a on Android 11 february update.

    Whenever I'm in games the bottom of the screen doesn't respond because of the navigation bar at the bottom, the problem is here in both portrait and landscape mode. Coincidentally, that's where most of the menu are... Anyone know how to avoid this ?

    Is there a way to schedule texts on Messages? (Pixel 3)

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 03:41 AM PST

    Is there any way to schedule texts for a certain time with the Messages app? I used to be able when I had the OG Pixel, but haven't been able to figure out if it's possible with the Pixel 3. You used to be able to just hold down the send button and it would open the scheduling interface.

    Using Android Ver. 11.

    Messages app takes forever to send messages

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 10:20 AM PST

    Today, out of nowhere, my messages app started acting up. Messages I send sometimes disappear, sometimes the little type bubble and keyboard don't show up so I can't type to reply to messages, and when things do open up okay, my messages take forever to send. They disappear for a while, then show up in the thread but say "sending" for a long time.

    I've tried clearing the cache and using it on Safe Mode, but it's still boggy. My signal is fine too. I really want to avoid a factory reset because it would take forever for me to back everything up on my computer. Is there anything short of that I can do?

    After I updated my Samsung galaxy s10 from android 10 to android 11 I have problems with charging.

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 09:27 AM PST

    So for some reason, it keeps showing the message that it had detected water or dust in the USB port and the message will stay there until my battery will discharge, and only then I am able to charge it. I've tried "drying" it with a hairdryer on the coldest setting so that I wouldn't damage my phone, but it still comes up. Also, fast charging doesn't work anymore even though it's turned on in the settings.
    Does anyone know what could I do to fix it? Is it worth it to downgrade my phone back to android 10 to see if it's a technical issue or an issue with that android? Buying an induction charger is a no-go for me for at least a month.

    Galaxy A12 has only 4 other camera modes, missing a bunch.

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 12:51 PM PST

    So whilst getting around the camera of my new phone, I wondered if it has a night mode. So upon looking it up, there's only one website which shows that there's supposed to be a hell of a lot of different modes, including super slow mo and night mode. I can't see any of those. I only have panorama, food mode, macro, and pro. Clearing data for the camera app does nothing and there's not articles online about this being a problem. Is there a fix for this or were they removed?

    Do "mediastorage" and "media" really both take up storage? Android11

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 01:09 AM PST

    So i bought a new Pixel 4a 5g and copied media and apps Form my old phone. After that i was confused why already 40gb storage were full ( my old phone only had 32gb). After checking Diskusage i was even more confused. Mediastorage and media do look like they are the same so they shouldnt take up both storage nur otherwise the storage usage doesnt add up. http://imgur.com/a/C7phyLQ

    Migrating phone from Resurrection Remix to Blu Vivo X6 (Android 9 Pie)

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 11:39 AM PST

    I've been asked to migrate a phone running Resurrection Remix OS to a new one using Blu Vivo X6 OS. It looks like they're both Android OS based phones. I'm wondering if there's a way to just straight migrate or if there's any hurdles I need to be aware of before I attempt this? Hoping it's easy to set up and move the SIM card, also hoping the SIMs are the same size.

    Can an AT&T Galaxy S21 Ultra be rooted to remove bloatware/what options are available to do so?

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 11:18 AM PST

    As the title suggests, I'm curious if it's possible and what options are available. I'm getting my S21 in a week and am anticipating a ton of bloatware. The phone itself is "carrier locked" but is paid for outright. Ideally, I'm not looking to violate any warranty I have, but with the amount of bloatware the S20 had, I am looking for any and all options available here.

    My galaxy s20+ seems way behind on updates even thought I just got the phone a few months ago

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 10:55 AM PST

    So I got this phone around Christmas. I'm currently on Android 10 and One UI 2.1. Per ATT website I'm about 6 updates behind. I spoke with ATT who said they would push the updates to my phone. I never got them. So I downloaded Smart Switch on my computer, but even that says its up to date. So now I'm confused.

    Security implications of installing a custom rom

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 10:45 AM PST

    Is there a way to have a locked bootloader with a custom rom? If not is it possible to mitigate security vulnerabilities caused by having an unlocked bootloader to install a custom?

    Is having an unlocked bootloader that big of a deal security wise?

    Google Pay security concerns

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 10:12 AM PST

    I went to scan my Prime Membership at Whole Foods last night and the NFC ended up paying for the transaction even though Google Pay wasn't open or unlocked and the cashier hadn't finished scanning all of our items.I don't see any settings to control for this in Google Pay other than simply not using it. Has anyone experienced this and do you have any thoughts on how to be more secure with NFC?

    Please, I'm begging for some help

    Posted: 18 Feb 2021 08:31 AM PST

    So, I have a Samsung Galaxy A9 2018. I also have a Galaxy Tab S5E. I recently learned that the Galaxy Tab S5E is going to receive the android 11/one ui 3 updates. The Galaxy A9 2018 will not. I will have a literal meltdown if my devices aren't on the same ui but i can't NOT update my devices because something inside of me is gnawing away telling me that I must and I won't be able to sleep at night.

    I've had a similar problem before where the Tab S5E updated to one ui 2.0 before my previous phone did. I couldn't use it again for weeks and couldn't sleep at all because they werent running the same.

    To counter this issue, I have decided I will just root my phone to get the update so that I can have them running on the same ui ahead of time. I have no rom to put on my Galaxy A9, however, and this is causing me a great deal of stress because I cannot find anywhere online on how to edit ROMs or to find one that works with my model and it starting to stress me out. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do? Any help will be appreciated.

    Quick Info Dump: No. I cannot buy a newer phone because I can't afford it. Thanks
