Hello Everyone,
I am having a lot of issues with Better Cut. It seems like I am unable to create shortcuts using the program.
Here is what I have been doing:
I want to create a custom shortcut for Camera
1. Push and hold blank area on the homescreen then select "shortcuts"
2. Select Better Cut
3. Select Activity then Camera
4. Click "change icon" then "pick picture"
5. I find the .png I like in the gallery and click on it.
6. Click create
Then nothing happens...
Can anyone who has used this program please help me out?
FYI, I am running Rodriguez's Froyo Mod.
Thanks in advance!
Some people seem to havea similar issue depending on the launcher they where using. I had the issue when adw first came to the market. I did a wipe and this worked for me.
Not sure of the launcher, butif the regular camera shortcut is on, you can open BetterCut and choose Edit Shortcut and choose a new icon

I've tried the following launchers; Launcher Pro, Launcher 2.3, and Zeam Launcher. All are fantastic but seem to have one fatal flaw.
When I attempt to hold screen -> Add item -> Shortcut, or any variation of this, the screen merely flashes and I cannot add an Application Short Cut.
Other additional items, such as Widgets or Actions work fine, but the Shortcut/Folder does not.
Is this a problem with my Nook, rooting, or just the incompatibility?

It's just another thing B&N stripped out of the android operating system. The best way to make a shortcut is to hold it from the apps menu and then you can drag it to anywhere on your desktop. All launchers as far as I know do this. Get anycut if you need to make more shortcuts. That seems to work fine for me.
Yep, open apps drawer and press and hold you app. then move it where you want it. Different from android phones, but it works.
Hi guys, first post! Loving the forum by the way, very helpful. I'm not sure if this is the right board to post it on but I need help with the Launcher Pro shortcut editor / creator. Basically all I want to do is to create a dock shortcut that toggles wifi, and maybe one for mobile data so that it is available easily on any of my homescreens. Is this possible? I don't really understand the editor but it would seem possible is anyone knew the intent etc for this action?
Looking forward to any suggestions!

Anyone at all?
no idea how to do it - but there are plenty of other apps that will do that for you
Possible - Try Tasker
Don't think this would be possible as the dock can only hold shortcuts, not widgets.

Why don't you use the default power widget?
But Tasker allows shortcuts - Task
you can use quickdesk. its pretty much a second home on top of the existing main home your using like launcherpro. you just double tap home button and brings up an overlay of anything you want to put on there for shortcuts or widgets. pretty handy and accessible while doing anything like being on the phone. just double tap home and there ya go. i know its not what your wanting by the post. but it does do pretty good.
Thanks for the replys guys, most helpful! Yeah not as keen on a widget, wanted it on the dock so it's there which ever screen I'm in and doesn't take up any extra real estate on screen. I'll give that quick desk a blast though
I just installed this rom, but I am facing some issues:
1. At startup Launcher pro is fails to launch, I need to force close it all the time.
2. When I open & close an app from app drawer, phone doesn't returns to it's app drawer screen, instead it goes tohome screen.
3. I tried the camera.apk , but it doesn't zoom, even after setting volume keys to do that operation.
4. Contacts looks very messed up & mms.apk don't have option to select the contacts, they only appears when i start typing letters.
Please tell me how make the whole appearance more easy & functional. Thanks
I want to make few folders or labels if possible with apps shortcut inside it, is it possible?
daily use>few apps inside this folder
gps> 4 apps inside this folder
photo
games
education
kids
multimedia
etc
Also I would like to rename the apps shortcuts which have long names, is there a way to do that?
Basically I want to remain quite organized on my home screen, as of now I have to browse a long list to reach the app or place the shortcut on 1 of the home screen but then I forget on which home screen the app is?
Sure,
Long press on your home screen, then folder (new folder - long press on it -> edit -> chose a name/icon). Then go in your app drawer long touch on the app, and finaly drag the shortcut in the folder you created.
Wao!, I didn't even know long press existed on blank screen, I did what you suggested & that solves my issue now I can organize my apps in a better way.
Thanks

Yw, just change the topic title as [Solved].
I can recommend Simi folders, its free and it allows you to customize your folders a bit. Also gives nice launcher options. like and iphone popup or transparent background etc.

Simplest way it's download another launcher in then it will give toy then choice to choose from that or stock when you press home
You can also uninstall from the market just select menu so you know the name sounds like sb shell launcher

It was change to Live wallpapers..by your son accidentally
you can press on the homescreen and a popup menu will appear, from there
choose wallpapers then choose wallpaper gallery and change your wallpaper
thats it..
by the way I hope you could specify a little more so that we can help..
hope this help in anyway..
Assuming you're talking about an alternative launcher, and you want to go back to the original Samsung one, you would do it as follows. Tap Settings on the home screen, Applications, and Manage applications. Now mine is ADW Launcher, so I'd tap that, but if yours is a different one, tap that. If you don't know which one it is, just look through the list for a likely candidate. If it isn't on the Thir-party tab, you could try All. Anyway, once you've found the launcher, tap it, and on the next screen tap Clear defaults. Close all screens. Now back on the home screen, tap the Home button. It should open a window where you can select Use by default for this action. Tap that, and then Samsung Home. From now on the original Samsung launcher will be used.
Thanks guys for the tips...it's working now
hello guys,
i just wanna know if its possible to add folder icons without the (line, grid, fan)
just a single icon and when i tap on it it open with the app icons in it. is that possible with zooper widget ?
any help is more than appreciated.
thanks
Yes, no widget needed. Just create the folder, then long press and select Edit to choose your icon.
Alternatively do the long press and tap edit that h0bnail suggested and then enable "Swipe to open folder". It will then default to the first app (and display the icon for it) but when you swipe up on the app it will open the folder. This only works with home screen folders but thought you might want to know.
