Setting default action on Froyo shortcuts (dialer and browser) - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to set the Froyo shortcuts (dialer and browser) to launch a different app?
I need Dialer One instead of the default phone app so that I can use the dialer to find contacts by name/number with the keypad.

No you can't. What you can do however, is download a home alternative, like zeam, and then use dialer one where you please.

Gah, seems like a waste to have it there and not use it...
Think I may have to get a different home app

Froyo Dialer Button -> Dialer One

Is it possible to change the standard dialer app to Diale One or similar?

Telephone and Browser.
Dolphin HD is the default browser on my system and the new browser button on Froyo opens Dolphin HD, BUT the new Telephone Button opens the standard dialer instead of my installed Dialer One ...
How can i change this?
Been hoping someone would figure this one out. Bump for you.
As noted in the changelog notes for Dialer One, there is currently no way to replace the Dialer button on the default Froyo Launcher.

[Q] Explicitly execute TWauncher

Hi SGS adv users!
I'm planning to replace my default home app with LauncherPro or Zeam, but I'd like to keep the option to reach the standard SGS TouchWiz Application Drawer (with positionable-apps in grids and horizontal scroll)
As any other launcher has its own drawer, I couldn't do that without a link or a shortcut icon. Otherwise I should change every time the default home, which is very uncomfortable.
Thanks

Is there a home launcher switcher for froyo?

I am looking for a home switcher for froyo but the home switcher app does not work anymore. Does anyone know of an app that does this on froyo?
It works for me in Froyo to switch between launchers. To set one as the deflaut though, it doesn't work the best. I find you have to go to "Manage Applications", find the launcher you are currently using and clear the default. Then in Home Switcher you can set the new one as default and it will stick.

Cannot add icons after Auto Nooter?

So I have rooted and autonootererered. I have Zeam launcher up and running. No issues.
However, when I long press and try to add a shortcut, it just jumps back to the screen. Nothing happens. I can however add icons to desktop through app list by long pressing.
Also, I would much prefer Launcher Pro as I already paid for it for my EVO. However, I cannot seem to change the icons (phone icon, etc) Want to use it for widget purposes, but dont want inactive icons such as phone and contacts sitting on the dock...
Is there a workaround for this?
These are known issues. There are multiple options that can be found by searching the forum.
1. open the app drawer press and hold on the app you want an icon on the homescreen. you will be able to drag it to the homescreen
2. edit your launcher pro settings on your phone, back up and restore on your nook. (search the forum, i think someone has a blank backup or something.

Any app or hack to change widget size? (google specifically)

I want to change the google search widget that takes up 4 slots. I only need the voice search. (the microphone icon on the rightmost part of the widget). Can only find one widget size if I try to add it.
If I try to add the "voice search" app from market (which is only 1 icon), it allows me to search but not to do google voice actions. I want something where I can do everything in an icon that only takes up one space. Is this possible through a hack or app?
As far as I know, with custom launchers, you have the ability to resize widgets.
With TW 4.5 by fr4ggor you can do it

YOu can easily do it through Go launcher EX. Just press the widget and you will get the option to resize it. I tried it for search widget.
