Default wizz bar doesn't work on ICS now. ....

I always use Wizz Bar, but now it won't work once I updated to ICS. Now I'm sad I updated. Anyone know how to get it working?

Default re: wizzbar

That was one of my biggest disappointments with ICS on the a500 but after discovering Nova Launcher where I can customize launch icons on the bottom... it's similar without being able to hide the icons but I find it to be a great substitute. Might give it a whirl. works great on my tab running flexreaper

Unfortunately, the ICS is currently common, application compatibility is not due to different OS. I agree, sad as the refusal of applications for Android 4.0.3.

Has anyone come across an alternative to Wizz Bar?
I do miss this App on my Tablet.

GMD gesture control.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...econtrol&hl=en

it has a "launchpad" feature which does exactly what you're asking for. you can assign whatever gesture you want to bring it up.

My Comprehensive Android Buyer's Guide

Main Device:
Bootloader Unlocked VZW Note II running Jelly 'Beans' Build 7

Toshiba L505 (PC), Iconia A500 (Tablet), Droid Charge, Droid X2, LG Vortex

Unfortunately it requires root, sadly which my work would not allow to happen.

I'm a huge fan of GMD Gesture Control but App Clip and ReLaunch can replace Gesture Control's LaunchPad feature really well. I don't think they require root but I'm not 100% sure..

It really sucks that Wizz Bar isn't going to be updated for ICS, but I'm running the TegraOwners ROM and can 'pin' apps to the combined bar anyway, which I think is a great approach to this problem and something I hoped would be possible while I was still watching YouTube videos trying to decide on a tablet to buy.. Hopefully one of these guys over on xda can get the same feature working eventually

Wave launcher is somewhat similwr. Not exact, but it's really good. Even better on phones than tablets.
