iOS 8 Widget Customisations using Launcher

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
I received an e-mail from Cromulent Labs (Launcher) that they added now the below two as i suggested to 'App Launcher' at e.g. Settings in the app:

- Settings > Background app refresh: prefs:root=General&path=AUTO_CONTENT_DOWNLOAD
- Settings > Battery usage:
prefs:root=General&path=USAGE/BATTERY_USAGE

I've also added background app refresh (although it's in Launcher) and a few handy links to the TS

Anybody got a url to turn on/off cellular data and to turn on/off zoom in accessibility?

First one is in the first post buddy. Here it is again for you though:
- Mobile Data: prefs:root=MOBILE_DATA_SETTINGS_ID
 
I just noticed today that at 'installed launchable' within 'App Launcher' i see an app mentioned that is called 'giftbook - Gift Cards on your iPhone' which is not installed on my iDevice. Is this somesort of advertisement within the app (although i bought the Pro version)? It doesn't bother me. It's not visible within the widget but only when you select apps.

I did notice that quite a few apps which i suggested were added to supported apps now. Which is great.
I just send out a suggestion to get Apple's TestFlight added itms-beta://

Is there any shortcut for multi-tasking?

I don't quite understand what you mean with multitasking.

The multitasking is available via double tapping on the home button (see also).
Why do you want that to be a button in Launcher?

Or do you need to adjust your recent phone contacts via multitasking?
I suppose this is a one time only change (instruction here).

Background app refresh is available in 'App Launcher' at Settings.

Sorry for not being specific. What I meant was to launch the multitasking view from launcher instead of double tapping the home button.

So sorry to say that, but this request seems like on of the dumbest Ive ever heard. How can it be more convenient than double pressing a home button)))

With the failure rate of the home button on many iPhones, that is a good reason to want to avoid excessive double taps. Seems a reasonable request.
 
If you are concerned about Home button failure then enable assistive touch, is quite handy.
Is multitasking listed under Settings so that it could be launched?
 
I just recently switched to an iPhone 5s (used) running iOS8.3 and seem to have issues with the Launcher widget.

I highlited in yellow the area which i cannot use within my Launcher widget.
When i press in that area on one of those apps/links it doesn't do anything.

Green highlited area in the picture: Only on the far right of the apps/links it opens the specific app/link.

I have the Launcher Size set to the smallest size (I'm a Pro user).

I already filed a ticket to Cromulent Labs/Launcher to investigate this matter.
When i move the apps/links to another place within the widget they do open so it are not corrupt links.
The screen works perfectly fine within other apps in that area of the screen.

Are other people also having these issues?

I don't have these issues with my iPad mini2 running 8.2

I already have that! I just need the toggle to turn it on

I'm afraid there is no such option.

Does the same issue happen if you change the icon sizes?

I just tried. Nope then there is no problem. It must be related to the smallest size. I just set it to the 'medium' size so everything works. I hope they will release a fix soon. I really like the smaller size.

Strange..... I've sent an email to the developer reporting again the issue you're having.

Watch this space.

Kind Regards

I have two apps in installed launchable list that I never downloaded, however, they have similar names to what I have installed and if you make a launcher it will launch your app with similar name.

In my case I see some Chinese "currency" app in that list, if I make a launcher for it launches "XE-currency" (which I have installed), also there is some printing app suggested which I don't have, yet if I make a shortcut for it it launches "printer pro" (this I have).
 
Anyone know the url to launch fitbit and open to the weight page, or if that's even possible? I try to log my weight every morning and would like to cut out a few extra taps if possible.
