[Q] Application Shortcuts within Dock

Anyone know how to place an application shortcut like a whatsapp contact into the dock/launcher bar? I was able to do this in stock jelly bean, but can't seem to figure this out in sense 5.

always 2 ways to do this on Android;
press and hold (on home screen and move to dock / on icon from app drawer)
click setting and choose edit
:good:

The problem is that when long pressing shortcuts from the home screen, the dock disappears making it impossible to move the app shortcut into the dock.

I understand an app can be added to the dock from the drawer, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to add a app shortcut (i.e. a direct contact) to the dock. For whatever reason, Sense treats these shortcuts like widgets, restricting them from being added to the dock. This is frustrating as I was able to do this in stock jelly bean.

You need to go to the app drawer and then pull the application you wanna replace from the dock to the drawer. Once you have done that you will have an empty space to add the app you want to add to the dock.

No chance. I think you have to wait for an update, or u choose another Launcher and a APP vor BlinkFeed.

I hope they have a fix in the pipeline. I can't be the only person who uses this feature.

Change icons on dock?

Is there any way to change the icons on the dock? I use the Icon Changer app to change icons, but it can't put them on the dock. Anyone know of an app that can, or perhaps another easy way to do this?
Thanks!

I checked out the desktop visualizer app, and I like it. Thanks for the tip. It's a bit more refined than Icon Changer (that I was using).
The problem is, like Icon Changer, it creates the app on the homescreen... and I can't find any way to get those shortcuts onto the dock. I can only get shortcuts from the drawer to the dock. Am I missing something?

Try Unicon in the play store, it uses nova icon packs and themes the entire phone. Here is my lock screen

Nice app... but from what I can see it will only theme an entire icon pack. I just want to change one icon on the dock.

I'm assuming you're using the stock launcher? You could edit the application yourself but that's a hassle. Idk how else to help except to use a 3rd party launcher

Open up com.htc.resources.apk in /system/framework with winrar/7zip. Don't extract it, just open it.
Find the icon you want to change in the apk and re name the icon you're going to replace it with to whatever the name is in the apk.
Now once you drop your new icon in, you can try pushing the apk back using adb but I would recommend flashing it. I've always had problems with pushing edited framework files to the device. It usually causes tons of force closes.
Hope that helps a little. Pm me If need be.

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling a might have to get in there and change it manually. I'm going to take a look at it and see if I can do it.

Try to clear clock app data in system settings.
I didn't have that problem but i think it can help. I don't like this app anyway so it's turned off on my mobie, i use " Smartisan Clock" from google play store.

I'm interested in this too... Just tried nova launcher and just add a black stripe...

There is a new version of good lock with quick panel app you can remove a handful of icons

Yup using good lock you can remove the icons or add what you want, its really nice.

If you have issues getting that good lock stuff to work, there's also The SystemUI Tuner app on the Play Store, but it requires a couple ADB commands to give it permissions first.

Show date on Status Bar?

Is there a preferred way to force the status bar to show the date next to the clock? I am not rooted / Samsung Note 9.

Try OneUI Tuner or SystemUI Tuner. I never try any of these apps but I think thats the closest you could get for unrooted phones.

Tried, no luck. Any other ideas?

Cool tool app

If you are rooted try Xposed

Not rooted unfortunately.
Cool Tool worked a treat! Thank you.
Better image.

You can try this app. I am using it for years and it is perfect!
Status bar Calendar - Apps on Google Play
Check the date in the status bar.
