LFMc Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 My old Android phone died so I don't know what version I was on previously and I lost the local backup of UD Mobile of course. Just installed it again on my new Android version 10 phone and added lots of favorites to the favorite screen. When I start the app it doesn't automatically start on the favorite screen instead it starts on the "home" screen, unlike on my prior phone. I've looked and looked thru the admin area, settings area, forum and wiki and can find nothing about this ever existing as a feature. So I am not sure if I am doing something incorrectly or maybe it only existed in the alternate universe that I came from. ? Any suggestions on turning this feature back on? After all, it did save me one extra click each time I entered the UD Mobile app which is my favorite place to be on my phone. ?

Jimbo.Automates Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Any idea how this would be accomplished in other launchers like Nova? I can't see it? There used to be a widget.Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk It has been much time since UD Mobile's shortcuts were changed from Static to Dynamic shortcuts, so if it was working it was long ago. I would ask the launcher's creator to support Dynamic Shortcuts or how to access Dynamic Shortcuts as these have been around for many years and are not exclusive to Google launchers. My guess is Nova has the feature but it is hidden or accessed in a different manor. I don't recall the exact reason the static shortcuts were remove, but do recall the static shortcuts created unintended behavior for the Dynamic shortcuts. The unintended behavior may have been an Android bug, but even if it has been fixed there will be many devices which have not been patched. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/shortcuts While the following has not yet been implemented, Dynamic shortcuts will allow the app to deep link to a favorite/favorite-folder or even a trigger a favorite command. This ability was the reason Dynamic shortcuts have been favored over Static shortcuts. 1

By default Nova only shows Sesame shortcuta in long press menu, so turning off that option now I see favorites for UD Mobile.Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk 1
