Curse you, QuickCircle case...

[zhris]

...you and your unrealized potential. You support Music, but not Google Play. Messaging, but not Hangouts. And the sole non-LG supported app I can find is some Puppy bubble popping game. You had one of the coolest phone innovations in recent memory, and do next to nothing with it.

Why, LG.... why?

Good rant. Excellent phone.

I use Quick Circle Apps. It offers generic short cuts that can work with any app you have. For example the music shortcut works with whatever you have playing, which for me is Spotify or a podcast app. Anyway check it out, I hope it helps!

My one comment would be that I wish "settings" didn't consume one of the 6 allowed apps. I wish perhaps the settings could just be if case is opened on app circle or even if it was in middle with 6 spots around it. I just found a cool magnifying glass app and now I have to let go of one of the 6 circle apps I use all the time.

I cannot get the calendar circle app to work. It crashes.

Quick circle apps is good but it does crash a lot, especially with regards to notifications. Still a better option than what LG provided as stock.

The Quick Circle App does allow you to remove the settings from the Quick Circle, does require a restart of the phone.

I have the quick circle apps installed so maybe that option is taken away... The check box is grayed out so not accessible.

It worked for me. Opened the newly installed Quick Apps Hit "select apps".. Unclicked the checkmark on the Settings icon and checked other icons I wanted (Quick torch, Quick calculator, etc.). Hit Save . A message popped up that I had to restart the phone. Did that and the settings icon was gone from the Quick Circle.
EDIT: in previous thread I said Quick Circle Apps, and that is the name of the app as it appears on Google Play Store, but in my phone it is labeled Quick Apps with the icon a blue circle with six ( : : : ) square dots.

Here is my screen shot. I can't uncheck the lighter grey box beside settings.

There's been a couple nice updates to the quick circle app lately... Can now access all quick circle compatible apps through the app icon.
