How to setup direct dial from Gear? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows how to setup a direct dial shortcut on the homescreen of the Gear. I have Null 12 running with Apex launcher. Direct Dial is not an option from the context menu from Apex...
Thanks.

searching activity name of Contacts > Activities

I'm using LauncherPro and want add a shortcut to go directly to the Activities tab of the Contacts app. But I can't figure out the correct activity name I have to add the shortcut for. Those I tried either crash or give "can't launch activity". Does anyone know which activity I have to add a shortcut for to my homescreen to get directly to that tab?

[Q] Clear defaults for samsung lockscreen

Hi, does anyone know how to clear the default program launched when completing the puzzle for a missed call or text on the samsung lockscreen.
I can't seem to find the program for it to clear the defaults and I know its possible because the first time it asked me which dailer program to launch.
Thanks
EDIT: side question,
Does anyone know how to make it so a handscent sms notification will trigger the SMS puzzle on the lockscreen, as of now only the default messenging app notification triggers the puzzle.

[Q] Lockscreen shortcuts?

I use exDialer as my dialing app but every time I swipe the phone shortcut from lockscreen, it prompts me to see if I want to set exDialer as default. I select yes each time but it never "sticks" and it reprompts me each time. Any suggestions?
When it prompts you to select the dialer app, select always on exDialer.

Direct Message Shortcut

Is there any way to enable creating direct message shortcuts? When adding a contact widget it has an option for "Direct dial" and "Contact" shortcuts but not "Direct message".. I don't know why they'd remove this. Their (Samsung) support live chat is quite useless online.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
I am looking for that as well...

Block calendar notifications while driving

Hi,
might seem a silly question but it's very annoying while driving that I receive Samsung calendar notifications. While they appear full screen, Waze and music sounds are silenced.
I have to manually dismiss them before all sounds are 'restored'.
I just want to drive without interruptions of the calendar app, anyone know how this can be done? I'm also using Android Auto but don't see any setting that can accomplish this.
thank you
I'm using Tasker and AutoNotifcation for this. I block some notifications and enable the AOD while connected to my cars Bluetooth.
- install both apps
- in Tasker add a task and search for "AutoNotification Block".
- Tap the pen of Configuration and select the apps you want to block the notification for. You can also add the package name manually
- Under "Toggle" set it to "Block"
- go back and set the timeout to none (slide the slider to the most right)
- go back to the task
- go back to the task list
- add a new task, do the same as above but instead of "Block" set the Toggle to "Unblock".
Now you have the needed tasks and you can set the profiles for them.
- In Tasker go to the profile tap and add a new profile, name it whatever you want.
- Tap on "Status" and filter for "Bluetooth connected" (Note: Bluetooth must be enabled while creating the profiles!).
- Name is optional, tap on the magnifying glass for "Address" and select your cars Bluetooth address.
- go back and Tasker will popup a window where you need to assign a task. Assign the "block" task.
- now do the same again but Mark the "Reverse" check mark in the Bluetooth address menu and after this select the "unblock" task.
So, Tasker will tell AutoNotification to block the specific notifications while connected to the Bluetooth device and unblock it if disconnected.
I hope it works for you. I don't know the English menu entries for Tasker since my app is in German, sorry if there's something different.
thanks, great tip : I already bought Tasker a while ago, I'll set it up like that
