So i've been trying to change the icons on my screen. Tired a few ways but it doesnt seem to work. When i'm on my home screen i hold one of my icons and press replace -> custom icon. i'm sure i have elegant themes and more themes installed from the market already, but all that shows up is ASTRO, bluetooth file tansfer, gallery and messenger withyou. Same happens when i use folder organizer lite to do it! I'm i doing something wrong?
thanks in advance!
Folder organizer works for me.
Open Folder Organizer > Apps > Press Drop Down Menu on any of Apps > Select "Icon"
and then select new icon from "And Explorer" or any other method.
after these steps
Go back to Home screen Long press on Home screen, Select " Widgets" > Scroll left and select "Folder Organizer Item" > Select "Apps" > Now Select the app that you have changed the icon previously. Thats it. New Icon Appears on Home Screen.

I have an icon from a broken program (CardExport) that is stuck to my Today Menu. I can't clear it. Is there a regedit or some kind of hack I can use to manually remove the icon? HTC Wizard and WM5.
TIA.
Do you mean it is under the Items tab when you configure Today settings or it it is one of the choices when you click on the Start button?
The dead icon is on the drop-down menu under the Start icon. It's one of the apps you can add to the menu for quick access. When I try to uncheck it in the menu settings list, I get a message saying "Unable to move that item."
Manually delete the short-cut from File Explorer. Windows\StartMenu folder.

Yeah but that'll be a shortcut to the "Word Mobile program" not the file/document and I've got loads of word files on my device.
make a shortcut of the file and drop it in the progams folder under windows>start menu>programs. It will then appear in the list of programs to add to HTC home plugin.

OK, here's the solution:
1. Open File Explorer
2. Press and hold your stylus over the word document until a pop-up menu appears
3. Tap "Copy"
4. In File Explorer, go to Windows > Start Menu.
5. Now, tap "Menu > Edit > Paste as Shortcut"
Now, your word doument will appear when you click the + sign in HTC Home
hope this helps
Thanks!
I've done it!!!
adding programs to launcher - not bringing the program
I am trying to add program by hitting the + sign in launcher. It is bringing the programs. after I select a program - launcher is not adding it to the launcher. I can remove the existing programs. I have added 4 programs long time back. If I hit remove they are going away from launcher. But - programs are not getting added.
Any help? Thanks.
Hi,
when i choose Programs from the start menu and change to the folder, a permanent scrolling appears. Impossible to tap on a icon i want. Same
action when i choose this folder in the file-explorer or resco-explorer.
Have anyone a idea for me how i can "switch" to normal mode please??
Kind regards
Pelle
For example, I go into settings>about phone > battery use alot, is there I way I can put a direct link on the homescreen?
Or infact any deep settings or deep menu options? obviously its not a widget and I dont see how I can accomplish this?
Is there an app out there
Just like adding a program icon, instead select "shortcuts" then "settings" from the list, there will be lots of options.
just long press the homescreen, shortcut, and all the settings menus will be there. example I have a direct link to battery use on my homescreen.

Although these suggestions are very good, you can do so much more with "AnyCut." It is on the Market. Once you have it installed, long press on the home screen, pick Shortcut, and select AnyCut. You can make shortcuts to almost anything.
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.
