i'm running sslauncher on cm10.1 with a galaxy skyrocket
i was trying to make a small, invisible shortcut/widget to overlay on a decoration on my wallpaper so that whenever i clicked it, it would direct to my home screen. i used sslauncher to create the shortcut, and i successfully created it but i can't seem to find it!
any help is appreciated
tap around your screen until you find it, or delete all your data for that app and restart everything. or you could use the same wallpaper you were using when you made the shortcut and click on that area again.

This is a theme that newone757 created I just added a few pages like weather page and stuff. His was good but way to simple for me missing few things i need. This is my first release i still have to add temp and city to the home screen and have to get my hands on the scenes icons for weather, and need to figure out what the more icon should do on the weather and application page. Maybe someone has suggestions? As of right now its disabled, think of using it for s2p.
Once i figure out how, i will be adding a virtual s2p play integrated into the theme.
The original theme can be found here
To do:
Better weather page
integrate with samsung SMS
s2p player
Finish weather area on home screen
Create icon for most conman apps and sumsung apps
suggestion or comments?!?!!
well done!
keep developing it
Could it be possible to display multiple appointments and tasks on home screen?
Moreover, I think that one of the android looking taskbars would be perfect with your theme.
This is a WAD theme? i cant se it in your post;-)
yes this is a WAD theme just copy the folder to the themes folder. Yeah i was thinking of adding appointments under the weather on the home screen as well, but it might not flow with the hidden menu that pops up.
Made a few changes to the theme yesterday add temp and city to the home screen, few changes to the weather menu. Will release once i get my hands on some good weather icons. As for the taskbar please upload or link it i will take a look at it.
*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.
Can anyone tell me how to add apps to the little bar on the bottom of Launcher Pro? Right now I have the default phone, chat, apps, browser, music but I've seen pictures of people who actually have real apps pinned down there. I tried click/holding on the icon and it give me the option to...
"Change Shortcut"
"Change Icon"
"Swipe Gesture Action"
When I click Change Shortcut, my screen goes black for a second and then comes right back to the main desktop and thats it. Am I missing something? I'd like to remove all the generic, ghosted, white icons and pin the real ones down there instead.
Thanks
This question gets asked a lot and I mean a LOT. Use the search function next time.
But to answere, the NookColor version of Android doesn't have a shortcut picker so doing this with any launcher will crash it. There is currently no fix but there is a work around.
If you have launcher pro on your phone you can set it up how you want it for the Nook and then make a backup. Copy the backup to the Nook and restore it there. You will need an SD card for this.
The work around to getting apps on the dock bar for Launcher Pro is too much work for me, haha. I tried Zeam and ADW.Launcher and discovered both will allow you to just drag/drop to the dock bar instead.
Ya I should have searched better, my bad. Just found the answer 10 times over after a bit more reading. I ended up just using ADW instead since this is my only android device so no backup to take from a phone.
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.
For every app I install from Play Store, it also puts an app on the home screen. It is a mess. I'd rather start with a blank slate and copy the icons I want on the home screen (as well as make folders).
I can't seem to figure out how to remove the icon. I found the options to rename the icon or uninstall, but I can't find an option to simply remove the icon.
Appreciate any guidance on this. I know I could switch to Nova or something, but I'd like to stick to the Rog launcher if I can.
Drag the icon to the top of screen - there should be a delete/ "X" in top area of screen (might turn red if dragged to correct area) - should then be able to delete the icon (I am on Nova, but I think stock launcher worked this way).

I actually like the Asus launcher as well. It kinda grew on me. So long press on home screen, preference, then look for this option. "Add icon to home screen". Don't have it checked. You can also lock the home screen as well.
