HOW TO: Get ANY app shortcut on your Nexus 7. - Nexus 7 General

Want to know how to get this phone icon that I have on my home screen?

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then follow these instructions below!
1. Go to the Google Play Store and search up QuickShortcutMaker.
2. Install the app.
(Were you expecting a picture here? Ok ok. I already have the app installed, and it's just a hassle to uninstall and reinstall it.)
3. Open the app. Then wait for it to load all of the apps, then select whatever app you want and tap it (This time, we are going to create a shortcut of the "Cellular Data" app, which is the stock phone app).
4. Then, if you want to create the shortcut right away, press "Create" (bottom right of the screen). If you want to try launching it, press "Try". If you want to check out its info, press "App Info". You can also share the app's info by pressing "Share app info". And the "View on Google Play Store" button is self-explanatory.
When you press "Create", the app closes and, viola! The app shortcut is created!
Once you master the art of making shortcuts, you can start baffling many people with your out of place shortcuts, from noobs to devs to your parents and siblings!
I hope your time was well spent reading this!

HTC ROM not closing apps?

FIXED: Sorry ... my noobish self didn't set the "End programs by Tapping 'X'" option in task manager and I haven't figured out how to delete my post, yet!
Finally gave up on Palm and switched to the Tilt(HTC ROM). I'm just getting used to a Windows Mobile device.
Before I get flamed, I did a LOT of reading and haven't come across this, yet, so I'm posting:
Tupisdin very nicely provided the SIM Unlock code. I used HardSPL for the SID unlock and I flashed the shipped HTC ROM earlier this evening without bricking the phone (whew!).
But now my OS doesn't seem to want to close my applications. Java, Google Maps, SMS/MMS and even the File Explorer don't seem to close when I click on the "X". They seem to stay open in the oh so convenient Task Manager drop down in the upper-right corner of the Today screen. And I have to close it from there.
I've tried soft resets but to no avail. Is there something I'm missing?
Mahalo!

New Fake Fingerprint unlocker

Just another application for unlocking your phone
Right now this is only a simple application and will not work as a screen locker.
If someone knows how to make your own application as a device locker i would appreciate the help. If Someone wants to continue the development of this application i'm glad to supply the source code for free.
This is my first application for a windows mobile device so i hope you like it.
Here are some images of this simple application:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Instructions on how to use this application:
This program should use a file to read the preferences, however i've had some problems with it, so as default there is a combination.
What is the diference between this application and the other fake fingerprint scanners?
Instead of pressing the screen for a determinate number of scans, you need to guess the combination.
What is a combination?
In this program basically you obtain an combination by pressing then leaving and then pressing again.
Everytime the scan bar hits the top of the "box" one of the counters increments, if you press for the correct amount of scans, then one of the numbers at the bottom will be the result and the next starts to increment.´
You have about two scans of time to press the screen again, else the program will analyse your combination, returning the message:
access denied or by simply leaving the application.
The default value for the combination at this moment is 5-5 meaning 5 scans stop pressing the screen and then 5 more scans.
If you have any questions post them, as will be glad to answer as soon as possible.

Notifications wake up the screen option missing

Hello;
Not only am I new to the Note 5, but Android too. I come from Windows Phone (a Lumia 1520).
I can't find the option to have notifications wake up my screen. Supposedly is under Settings -> Sounds and Notifications, but it is not showing for me. See the screencap.
I downloaded Glimpse Notifications, but I figured it should be a stock option? Also, is there a way to increase the timeout for the screen when Glimpse Notifications turns it on?
Oh, I followed dlthe de-bloat and de-touchwiz guide from the General subforum. Used the basic xml to disable packages. Don't know if that's related.
Thanks for any guidence!

Hi,
If you use these toggles a lot (which you should), a quick edit now will make your life easier.
Organize the quick settings
Samsung-Galaxy-Note-5-toggles
1. Pull down the Quick Settings and tap EDIT in the top right corner
2. From here you can drag the toggles around as you like
3. There must be at least 5 toggles in the Quick Settings
TO remove unnecessarily apps
Let’s do it.
1.Open the app drawer to see all of your apps
2.Long-press on the app you’d like to remove
3.The app drawer will close and you’ll see an option for Disable or Uninstall
4.Drag the app to the trash can
If you would like to revive a disabled app you can go to Settings > Applications > Application manager. Swipe over to the Disabled tab and find the app.

Here's how to activate the “Gallery Labs”!

Here's how to activate the “Gallery Labs” hidden settings on Samsung smartphones
How to activate Samsung Gallery Labs
It doesn't take long to activate Samsung's Gallery Labs via the Samsung Gallery application, but we would like to point out right away that some options may vary depending on the version of Samsung's One UI installed on your device. In fact, if you have a smartphone with One UI 2.5 at your fingertips, as in our case, you will find the same options you see in the gallery below; otherwise, if you are among the many who use the One UI 3.0 or the very recent One UI...
Having made this necessary premise, we are finally ready to find out how to activate Samsung Gallery Labs. First you need to start the Samsung Gallery application, tap the magnifying glass on the three dots at the top right of the side and select the "Settings" item. Once you have entered the app settings menu, you need to scroll down, tap on "About Gallery" and tap repeatedly on the version of the app until the message "[Labs] appears on the screen. Gallery is enabled ".
Once this is done, you need to go back to the previous screen and locate the new “Gallery Labs” panel. Inside there are a series of "advanced settings" that normally cannot be exploited without activating this feature.

For quite some time! Or at least since OneUI 2.5 could be installed on the Note 8. And this thing I discovered by chance on the internet.

Question Strange behavior

Hello,
For some time I have been facing some problems on my device, OnePlus 10 Pro (NE2215). I don't know if this is a default behavior of the device or if it could be some configuration.
Case 1:
For example: When I open the AliExpress application, search for an item, click on one and return with the gesture, it should return to my search, but it turns out that it returns to the AliExpress homepage. This is too bad, because I always have to perform the search again. I don't know if I made myself clear, but this problem doesn't happen on my girlfriend's Iphone. When I go back a step, it always goes back to the previous one and not to the first operation I did.
Obs1: I attached the prints of the transitions so that it is clearer to understand.

Case 2:
In addition, whenever I do that command to view how many applications I have open and I select the application I want to use, the software always reloads the application and does not keep it where it was. A good example for this case is when I open the bank application and access the credit card session, for example. When I leave the app open in the background, I open some other app and go back to the bank app again, it reloads the app and goes back to accessing the app. It doesn't keep the app loaded in the session where I was.
Obs2: I didn't put pictures, but I believe it was clear what happens.
#2 I know has been discussed here previously. This phone has an aggressive RAM cleaning and does not like background apps. You can actually make it store more if you add the swap, i.e. give your phone the "additional" 8GB of RAM in settings from storage. But this is only a bandaid solution. Iirc you can slso change some SeLinux permissions to alleviate the issue if you're savy.
#1, idk. I've had some unique behaviors myself on OOS. For example the Dasher app is absolutely terrible.
