Hi,
is it possible to create a shortcut to alarm app (the original one, inside clock app) in homepage??? it would be very useful for me....
I'm using GB 2.3.5 with GOlauncherEX (and don't want to change it)
Thx
Got it!
You can do it with this: QuickShortcutMaker
This application let you create a shortcut to nearly every activities. And the alarm is an activities, not an app (as long as I understand)
With ADW EX, there is a way to do it without using a separate app. GO Launcher EX may have the same thing. If you long press on the desktop and select custom shortcut. Then you select "Pick your activity". Once the list loads, you can find the clock app, expand out the list of activities, and then select the alarm clock one.
^^what he said. I think most Launchers allow this. By the way OP, if you use the stock Clock/Alarm app a lot, i highly recommend 'Alarm Clock Plus' from the market. It's fantastic.

I used ADW, and did as you suggest to create a shortcut....now I move to GOlauncher and I didn't find a way to do the same
Yeah, I haven't used GOLauncher, so I have no idea how (if possible) to do it.

Hey guys. Simply put, how do I install an icon pack?
I just got myself an Evo 4g a few days ago. I want to install some new icon packs to further customize my UI, but I have no idea how. My phone is not rooted, and i'm nervous about rooting it because I don't want it to brick.
Here's what apps I'm actively running: LauncherPro Plus, SwitchPro Widget, Moxier World, Tajm, Snowstorm Weather, Simply Lockscreen, & Battstatt.
I really like LauncherPro Plus, but I want my UI to look sleek, attractive, and simple.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
How to Change Icons!
Alright so what I do is I use the app FolderOrganizer. You can create folders and you can choose custom icons or icons that they have to make your phone more "sleek". BUT the better part of this app is that you can edit icons for apps too.
//How to Change Apps icons\\
1. Download or create icons (sized 64x64)
2. Put them onto your SD card.
3. Download FolderOrganizer
4. Once the app is open click on the Apps section.
5. Find the app or apps that you want to change.
6. Long press the app you've selected.
7. Click the last option that says "Change Icon"
8. It will bring up four or five options (assuming you download your icons in a folder on your SD card) click "Android Image Gallery"
9. Find the icon you want to change it to.
10. It will save
11. Press home button and get into the add to homescreen menu (long press)
12. Click add shortcut
13. Go down the list till you get to "FolderOrganizer Item"
14. Then click the "Apps" option
15. Then find the app that you changed the icon of.
16. Then the app will show up on your homescreen with the changed icon!
***This will not change the look of the icon in the app drawer!!!***
***This is not the only app that will do this, but in my opinion it is the easiest***
Has anyone had any luck getting the android activity picker to work. Specifically when I go to add a shortcut in ADW launcher, it closes back to the home screen.
When trying the same thing using my G2 logcat mentions com.android.settings/.ActivityPicker
I'm assuming this is missing from the nook file system since they didnt intend on us putting any apps on it yet, but has anyone figured out how to get it working?
Here's what I do:
Download Desktop Visualizer, and install on the Nook: http://www.appbrain.com/app/desktop-visualizer/jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr
Long press on launcher desktop, and add widget. Selected Desktop Visualizer widget in your desired size. Choose an icon from a picture or an existing application.
Then, hit 'Select Action', and then 'Other'. The list of options you're presented with after selecting other should be the same you'd see in the your shortcut list.
I did this and made two shortcuts/widgets to some gscript scripts I have.

Thanks! Now I finally have decent sized book shortcuts directly on my desktop, without having to switch back and forth between ADW and the default nook homescreen.

thanks, tokyomonster. good tip.
*crap wrong section, mod plz move, sry all*
Is anyone else seeing this? Its fully rooted, everything works perfect, but Ive tried 4 different launchers now, and all of them crash the home screen (screen goes black after hitting "create/addshortcut", then resets to the home screen) when I create a shortcut.
I can put everything on the desktop other than shortcuts.
I first noticed it with LauncherPro when I was trying to change shortcuts on the toolbar (to get rid of the phone, contacts, etc) and every time I would try to change it, it would crash, but I was able to change the icon.
GDE is so far the only one that allows me to change icons on the tool bar, but still crashes if I try to add anything to the desktop.
I hope its something stupid Im missing, although, I have found ways around it, its jsut something thats botherin me like a pebble in my shoe lol
Well there is something missing on the NOOK that prevents this from happening. No home app will bring it back. I think the missing component is called "picker" or something like that and just like the market and other Gapps, someone will have to figure out how to add it.
Ah ok, as long as its something thats not working as intended. I must of missed it reading along here somewhere. I did find a way around it with Zeam and App organizer
Zeam allows you to drag icons to your tool bar, then you can drag them from the tool bar to the desktop with no crashing.
And app organizer allows Widgets that act as folders to be created, and widgets have no problem being added
Or you can just hold onto the program icon for a few secs and that will alow you to drag it the desktop.

I'm able to drag apps straight from the app drawer to the desktop with Zeam. Perhaps you're talking about something else though.
I found a work around for this. Since I've seen the question brought up every few days, I'll make a wiki article on this as well.
Requirements:
Desktop Visualizer: http://www.appbrain.com/app/desktop-visualizer/jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr
Icons for the shortcut you're making [not necessarily required, you can pick an existing app and use that apps icon for the shortcut as well]
Steps:
1. Long press desktop on launcher of choice
2. Add widget
3. Pick the desired widget size from the Desktop Visualizer options
4. Set your icon in Desktop Visualizer
5. Hit the Select Action button in Desktop Visualizer
6. Hit 'Other'
7. The menu you're now at should have the options that would normally be accessible from the shortcuts menu
8. Find the shortcut, finish up in DV, and voila, you're done.
Great tip, thanks ! Used it to toggle WiFi AdHoc/WiFi AP
Proxy Settings are not available
All shortcuts except the Proxy Settings shortcut are available.
Does that mean there is a way to access the WiFi settings directly ? Can only toggle so far.
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.
Hello,
I bought the Galaxy recently,and changed his rom.
Rom comes with Launchrpro,and I am very satisfied with it.
But I want to stay with the original rom menu (TW). is this possible?
In addition, I want to get the applications menu in folders.is this possible?
Thanks
I don't know which rom you are using but if that rom gives you both option then go to
settings> application> manage application> choose TW> set default (you can clear defaults too)
Hope this works for you.
There are custom roms that offer touchwiz, and you can always install it afterwards too (e.g. From apk found off the forums, or via sgs tools app).
Doc rom kitchen is a great place to start.
The app menu is launcher specific, afaik there aren't any that allow you to arrange your apps into folders, and launcherpro is the only one that lets you hide icons.
Sent from xda premium app on i9000m.
Tnx but I know that I can switch to TW.
I want to stay with Launchrpro and replace just the menu like TW.

What menu are you talking about? (screenies would be nice)
The first picture(left) is the menu I want to go back to.
This second picture menu I have now, in the launcherpro
I wish to keep launcherpro because of the comfortable home screens.
That menu is called app drawer a part of the launcher and what you want I believe not possible with launcherpro. If you want the horizontal scrolling + menu in app drawer I mean. You are better off with another launcher. Like ADW launcher or some modified TW.
As near as I can tell, what you are showing in the first pic is the TWLauncher homescreen, while in the second you are showing the App Drawer in LauncherPro.
It is easy to reproduce a similar homescreen in Launcher Pro. On your main screen, just press the button to open your App Drawer (the thing shown in your second picture). The press and hold the icon for an App you wish to put on your homescreen. Your view will switch to your homescreen, with a garbage can at the bottom. Position the icon where you with it, or drop it into the trash and start again. Once you have everything on the first homescreen that you want, go to the second screen, reopen the App Drawer, and add apps just as you did before.
You can control the number of homescreens you have, and which opens by default, from the Launcher Pro Preferences menu.

As you can see if you look closely BOTH pics are app drawer . Look first pic, grey bar down (home screen has it black) and Home button which doesnt exist in the homescreen since there is the Applications button
To OP look what I wrote you up . Or you could kinda put all yours apps on your homescreen like rschenck said.
Try Go Launcher, free in market. It lets you have the "side swiping" app drawer/menu

Quite right, my bad...been a while since I used the TWLauncher.
OP, are you asking to be able to horizontally scroll through apps, or to have buttons for Phone and other key tasks on the same page as all your apps?
I am still thinking that you can either jury rig a solution using Pro, or as Pagot suggests, try other launchers, there are lots of good ones out there...ADW, Pro, GO, Zume, plenty of others.
