I am trying to edit the HTC Homeplug icons to suit my needs and I'm having trouble creating a shortcut to the Tasks app. I have created the shortcut, and it works, but displays no icon. How can I make the shortcut display an icon?
Maybe somebody could tell me how to browse the icons in an exe and find the right number for the icon?
I would love a way of creating a shortcut on the home screen without the text label underneath the icon.
I am using the SMS Unread Count app and it can create widgets on the home screen without any text for the dialer, Messaging app and gmail. I want a link like that for the browser too.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Bump to see if anyone knows how?
The closest I came to this was using Bettercut to create a shortcut with a space in it. Though you still end up with a little grey bit underneath

Helix Launcher 2, 0.7+ has the option to hide icon text.
So, I've got a desktop full of images that I use as icons through the use of Desktop Visualizer. My whole screen (apart from dock) is filled with these images and I kind of wanted to get rid of the dock and replace it with one of these icons.
I found a solution to making the dock disappear through the use of ADW Launcher which allows you to hide the dock. It's not ideal since I would've preferred to use Nova Launcher (I'm on CM9 and I love Nova Launcher) but it has no option to hide/disable the dock (in fact, ADW Launcher is the only launcher that I've found with this option).
Anyway, now that the dock is gone, I can use it for widgets (which is basically how Desktop Visualizer works) however Desktop Visualizer does not allow you map "App Drawer" as an action. So basically all this effort has been for nothing unless I can find a way to map the icon to App Drawer.
Another thing I considered was a launcher/dock that allowed you to use custom sized icons for actions (most launchers only allow you select a certain sized icon to replace the default) but I couldn't find anything.
I've tried to search both XDA and Google but couldn't find anything useful.
TL;DR - Need Desktop Visualizer alternative or a way to map one of the widgets to act as app drawer icon.
Thanks in advance.
I need help with this too. Any ideas?
The only way I managed to do this in the past was to use a normal icon and the widget, and overlap them. (In ADW settings there is the option to allow overlapping.)
First insert the app drawer icon (Press hold > launcher actions > Open/Close app Drawer)
Insert your Desktop Visualizer widget, select the icon image, and set the action to none. Then press and hold on it, and using the re-size arrows drag it under the app drawer icon.
Finally press and hold on the app drawer icon, and change the icon to a transparent (empty) image.
You have to insert the app drawer icon first, as that makes it on top.
Its a pretty crude way of doing it, but I don't think there is another way, although I would happily be corrected if there is!
Or you could possibly just put the icon on your wallpaper then use a transparent icon.
In that way, you could have many possibilities in theming your desktop.
I must be missing something because I can't find the option (or others asking about it), but the quick launch icons on the bottom of the lock screen (around the lock icon) are not there anymore. Was that option removed, or am I just missing how to enable them? I thought Sense just used the same icons that you have defined on the launcher?
I've also noticed that even though I've selected the productivity lock screen, it doesn't show any of my calendar events and only shows the basic lock screen with no quick launch icons.
Thanks for any help.
I wanted to put my App Drawer on the Shortcut Clock, but it wasn't available to add in the Gear Manager clock configurator.
I found a free drawer app on Play Store that works perfectly. The icon it provides for the TW shortcut dock is a perfect match to the Gear's icon style, too. I can't post links yet, but the app is "AppDrawer (MIUI App Drawer)" by JakedUp.
You will need to install something that allows you to access the app menu with a gesture, in order to configure it. But the default drawer style is a single-column icon list with titles, which will probably work for most people.
I set mine to have: 2 rows, 2 columns, horizontal scrolling, 15 point type, icon size 100, icon spacing 6. That makes it look like the Gear's default app drawer, but with icon titles.
