        @moem I believe you can create a desktop file manually in ~/.local/share/applications

            Might there be a way to create a launcher to call up that script?

            If i remember correctly, Launcher Modular allows ro create shortcuts of that kind (command line).

              @keneda That would be a great solution, thank you very much! Going to look into that...

                @moem if you follow the clickable instructions for setting up an app development enviroment the first thing you do after installing all the required dependencies and programs is you generate an app template. That template is a program with a single button in the middle that when you click it, it prints "hello world" to the command line. I would think it would be easy to change that to one of the commands above (after manually testing via the command line at least once). It would be a great way to get into making yout own programs too.

                OnePlus One with UT OTA-15 daily driver. I would be testing the Halium 7.1 port if I could roll back to OTA-15

                  @antidroid That's not something I'm interested in, but thanks!

                      @moem You could try

                      sudo service bluetooth restart
                      

                      Or maybe even this old trick to get bluetooth speakers to reconnect on Xenial. I do not know if it will work on UT.

                      rfkill block bluetooth
                      
                      rfkill unblock bluetooth
                      
                      

                      I tried both of these options. The first one was not a succes: BT stopped and never started again (which a reboot solved). The second one worked very well!

                      So in Launcher Modular, which I'm using anyway, I made a custom icon as suggested by @Keneda. This is a winning combination.
                      The command I used is

                      rfkill block bluetooth && rfkill unblock bluetooth
                      

                      and this morning, when I woke up, the Pebble was unlinked (it has an option to unlink when it does not sense any motion for half an hour, to save battery power) so I tapped the icon.
                      The notifier for BT flashed very briefly and immediately went active, and the Pebble buzzed to indicate connection.
                      In other words, this is a complete success and I'm now going to mark it solved and celebrate with a mug of my best tea. šŸŽ‰

                      Thank you, folks, for some great information!

                        You're welcome. I hope Launcher Modular to grow as it's a good app, but some bugs on MX4 unfortunatly.

                          Sorry to hear that! On OpO, it's pretty much flawless. It really helped me when switching from Android... I felt a lot more at home (sorry, devs). And I like having an analog clock on the home screen.
