Custom Icon?

[Broth3rz]

When I use the regular LG Home Launcher it made a Maintenance folder which had apps and battery usage in it. I now have Nova Launcher and I'd like those same 2 icons but can't seem to add them. I can add a settings icon that breaks up all settings but not the apps setting or the battery usage setting alone.

I want those icons so right when I click apps it takes me to the RUNNING apps, and the Battery takes me to usage. So I guess I want to icon-ize a certain setting like LG had on the original Home, but with Nova.

Any ideas?

Try this. Long press on your home screen, tap on widgets, scroll the first row, tap & hold on Activities and drag it to the screen. This will open the Nova Activities list, scroll down and tap on settings, find "battery details" and tap on it. This will create a shortcut for your battery stats. Do a similar process for your installed apps. I haven't tried this for the running apps, just check the different options under "apps".

If you have Nova Prime this process can also be done for swipe up actions.

I do exactly what Javier P described for a link to the battery info

That worked, took me a few tries to find which Apps was the Running version but I got them both now, thanks!

Glad it help! Tell us which activity option worked for the running apps. Some of the Nova Activities are a bit cryptic

It's like the last one on my list: Settings$RunningServicesActivity

If anyone knows what the Double Tap feature is let me know. I'm sure it's one of the ScreenOFF ones but there are too many.

You can try a couple of things. Double tap on the status bar or download a lock app from the Play Store. I use Screen Off & lock.

You can link the app to the double tap Nova gesture (or any other if you prefer).

I'm not sure if there's a Nova Activity for the stock double tap to lock. I'll ask around just in case.

There's another way to manipulate icons. You can save them with Icons Extract and change (or edit) them with Icon Changer.

I couldn't find the double tap to sleep in the Nova actions either. I had to install a screen off app and use that.
