Direct Message Shortcut - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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...

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?

[Request] Gmail with no header/footer

When opening mail in the Gmail app, at the top, there is always a section for heading and then sender, and at the bottom a big footer with options to delete, archive, etc.
This really cuts into the screen space when trying to read mail.
It would be amazing to have an option to hide these. Title/sender should really be automatically hidden after a few seconds of opening the mail.
The options at the bottom should only appear with some gesture from the user.
Thanks!
I've also given this feedback to google through the gmail app as well.
Soo want this, as I read a lot of mail on the phone.
Hope others think this is useful too.

[Q] Put Folder of Contact Shortcuts on Launch Bar

Apart from the prefix "Can I", or even "how do I" if I can, it's all in the heading really.
On my phone I have a screen of contact shortcuts, usually two per contact - ring mobile, send SMS. Some get ring work as well. Having a small family and few friends, one screen is enough.
I would like to bundle all of the shortcuts into one folder on the launch bar, but it seems that apps are the only things I can put on the launch bar and then stack into folders.
Or am I missing something?
I have seen the "People" app, but that allows only one entry and default action per favourite person.
Any help appreciated.

QUESTION: Options for opening Ring Doorbell in Live View

Hi All,
I have created a home automation UI using zooper and tasker. Within tasker, I have created a task that does the following once a user taps on the 'Camera' widget:
1. Open Ring
2. Waits 4 seconds
3. Performs the following actions (clicks)
- Clicks Menu
- Clicks Devices
- Selects Doorbell
- Clicks Live View
This works great and functions as it should, but as you can imagine it is not clean at all. I was wondering if there was a way in which these actions can be performed in the background or if there were any alternatives to getting this to work where the user would tap the 'Camera' widget and Rings Live View would open up. I also have Wink with Ring integrated into it, but it wouldn't allow me to create a shortcut for Ring. I've also checked IFTTT recipes but didnt find one that would work.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
You need to use intents. I don’t have a ring doorbell so I don’t know the intents that ring uses sorry.

Thanks! I'll google it to see how to use intents with Ring.
Looking to do similar. I'm trying to open motion or ring notifications to the Live View. Any luck with this?
The only intents I saw were to go straight to devices or list of events.

Disable context menu pop up on S10 homescreen icon

Hello All
As per the title, is there any way to disable the context menu from popping up when you tap on an icon on the homescreen? Whilst it may be useful for some, I personally don't want it as a feature. I have looked through all the settings to see if there is a way to toggle it on and off but haven't found anything.
Can someone please advise?
I am rooted if that helps expand the options.
Regards
