Hi guys,
sorry for the silly question. I copied a new tool into a folder on my Kaiser. How can I add a shortcut to "Programs" so that I don't need to use the file-explorer to start the tool?
Thanks
Michael
Go with the file explorer to the file you want to make a shortcut off. Press and hold, then choose copy.
Then go to the start menu folder and hold your stylus in the map you want to make a shortcut. When the menu comes up you can choose "paste a shortcut".
OK, many thanks.

Hi,
Here's a theme for Wisbar Advance Desktop which is inspired by HTC Touchflo/Sense.
There are 6 pages:
Home
Features clock/weather info/upcoming appointments/togglers for Bluetooth Wifi and Volume profiles
Contacts
All contacts button launches contacts (not surprisingly!!)
Favourite contacts button opens a dock, which you can add your own favourite contacts to. Tap the dock to hide it again.
SMS
Previews SMS in your inbox.
Features buttons to refresh (reload latest SMS), skip forwards/backwards through your messages and reply to a message.
Email
Same as SMS page, but for email. Currently this is configured for Google Mail accounts, but this can be amended.
Web
Contains Shortcuts for different browsers - currently Internet Explorer and Opera (script opens Opera Mini 5, if you have any other version of Opera installed, edit the script to launch that instead).
Favourites
Blank page for you to add your own shortcuts to.
Switch pages by swiping left/right, or jump to a page by tapping the icons at the bottom of the screen.
The taskbar displays:
Signal strength and network name
Unread SMS icon

Bluetooth on icon
Volume profile
Battery meter
To install:
Extract the contents of the attachment and:
Install Mortscript cab.
Create a new folder on Storage Card and place all folders (except 'HTC theme') into it.
Install WiFi toggler cab and set the script for the wifi switch on the home page to launch this program.
Set the script for the Bluetooth switch on the home page to launch 'ToggleBTh' (this is in the 'Bluetooth Toggler' folder and is an executable file - does not need to be installed).
Place the 'HTC theme' folder into Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes (on phone or storage card memory - make sure this is the same memory which you have installed WAD to)
Tap and hold screen in WAD>>change theme>>(press menu and scan for themes if this theme is not listed)>>tap HTC theme>>press menu and select set as portrait theme>>tap apply.
Enter WAD settings menu>>weather>>large icon set>>change directory to Weather Icons/Large (in the folder you created on your storage card).
Copy the contents of the 'Fonts' folder to Windows/Fonts.
Open the 'Msg_preview' folder,
Copy the 'Message2Reg' folder to Program Files (on phone memory)

That should be it!!!

Where is d attachement?????
I have discovered a way to create folders on the ADW desktop without having to use additional software/android packages. Basically you have to manipulate a table in the launcher database.
Photos
1) Shows the folder “System Stuff” on the desktop. (Look for it near Santa’s beard.)
2) Shows the “System Stuff” folder open and with applications inside
3) Shows the edited fields of the favorites table of the launcher.db
My Setup/Requirements
NookColor Rooted/ADB access
ADW.Launcher installed (I am running version 23)
Root Explorer
SQLite Editor installed
Linda File Manager installed (optional, but necessary if you want to create shortcuts to books)
Steps
1. Open Root Explorer and find the database for the launcher. Mine is located at /data/data/org.launcher/databases
2. Open the database. (Mine is called launcher.db)
3. Open the favorites table
4. Use the menu button to create a new record and enter the following information into the fields:
_id = Assign the next sequential record id (increment +1 from the last record in the table)
Title =The name you want to give your folder
Intent = Leave blank
Container = -100
Screen= 1 (or the number of the screen you want the folder displayed on)
cellX = 2 (or the column you want the folder displayed on)
cellY = 0 (or the row you want the folder displayed on)
spanX = 1 (the folder will be 1X1 in size)
spanY = 1 (the folder will be 1X1 in size)
itemType = 2 (this declares the type to be something other than a shortucut)
appWidgetID = -1 (this identifies the widget as a folder)
5. Save the record
6. Exit Root Explorer
7. Reboot the NookColor
8. When the system finishes booting, you should now see a folder on whatever screen you put it on.
9. To add items to the folder, simply click and drag.
Comments: You can also add shortcuts to the folder by manipulating the favorites table in the launcher.db. You find your shortcut in the table and modify the record so that the container field is the same as the _id field of the folder shortcut.
I added Linda File Manager to the Setup/Requirements list because if you want to add books to a folder, LFM is the only program so far that I’ve seen that will allow the creation of a shortcut (for a book) to the desktop.
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.
