I've just rooted my galaxy, and know how to remove some of the factory apps. however, I have two shortcuts in the application page, that's actually url shortcuts. how do I go about removing it because when I go over to /system/app I don't see any of the url shortcuts.
thanks!
+1 would like to know that too...

*FYI, I have searched and read other questions regarding this subject in the forums and none have addressed this specific problem:
I want to use Folder Organizer (X10 mini) to clean up my android desktop and put the icons into folders, but even after checking the forums for this app, for example in android forums dot com it says:
"you can tag applications with labels in Folderorganiser, which adds them to the 'Folder'. Finally, all you need to do is long press on the home screen, tap shortcuts, choose Folderorganizer Label, and add it. Viola, a folder with a custom icon."
But these directions do not work because when I follow them, (I have already created labels for all of my apps) I long press on the home screen, which does not bring me to shortcuts but instead brings me to 6 apps on my phone including Folder Organizer, so I tap that, and then shortcuts, and it does not give me an option to create a shortcut on my desktop, it only gives me an option to create a shortcut for individual apps, which do not even show up on my desktop.
Please help, how do I create an icon/folder that holds all similar apps on my desktop, eliminating the original messy icons, so that I don't have to scroll through 50 unorganized apps? It would be nice to only have 4 categories/folders or so on my phone desktop
Thank you!

" long press on the home screen, which does not bring me to shortcuts but instead brings me to 6 apps on my phone including Folder Organizer"
sounds like your long pressing the home button to me. try long pressing a blank area on your screen itself buddy
I can't seem to figure out how to remove icons and widgets from the Launcher home pages. I've tried searching this forum and the web in general, and I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
I'm running TnTLite 3.1.2.
Any suggestions?

Long press the item and then drag to the trash can on the side.
For Home Screens then you can only delete icons (or uninstall app)
If you mean the App Drawer rather than the Home Screen(s), then using Launcher Pro, you can try the following:
1) From any "Home Screen", select Menu then Preferences
2) In the Launcher Pro preferences screen, select "General Settings" (first option)
3) Select Hidden Apps
4) Select checkboxes for the App Icons you wish to hide.
Note that this doesn't uninstall / delete the app -- only hide the icon from the drawer.
I use it to hide icons for apps that I never (or very infrequently) start from the drawer.
Thank you both! I'm so used to the menu-driven Blackberry functions, it didn't occur to me to hold down my finger to see additional options.
Sorry to post this here but I'm not sure where to ask. On my old HD2 with Android I could scroll right and left and have more screens for apps. With the Sensation I get email, weather, etc. How can I modify these screens? I'd like to delete weather for instance and have another app panel.
Thanks,

Just go to the page, hold on the widget you want to remove, and drag it down to the right to remove it.
I really like a tidy phone. I like everything in one spot. I know I can create app links on the desktop. But i typically dont create any app links on my desktop. Does anyone know of a way or a replacement app drawer that would allow me to create Web link shortcuts in the app drawer. Even apps that are available on the app store, if I could get a Web page to work the same, the less apps installed, the better battery life and performance of the phone.
Also I do know about bookmark apps, but I don't like an app to hold the bookmarks. I want the bookmarks right in the app drawer.
Nova Launcher (Might need Prime)
Nova Settings > App & Widget drawers > Drawer Groups
Open the Folders tab, Create a new folder and name it "Web Links" or whatever you want it called
Now there is a folder in the Apps drawer called "Web Links"
Long press it, and drop it on the homescreen
Fill it with all your web links, check in the app draw, it should also be receiving those links
Once you are done, delete it from the homescreen, and it should remain full of your links in the apps draw
Tested and working fine here with Nova Launcher Prime 5.0 beta 3 (Likely works with the latest stable too)
Chrome..is there a way to shortcut my entire bookmaks list through 1 home screen icon? Im sick of going through the dots bookmark thing everytime i want to see a new site.
I used to use Cmarks before Google blocked the Api
With Nova launcher, yes.
(Using it for DuckDuckGo; no reason it cannot be done for Chrome)
Is it like a widget in the launcher?

Nope.
Just like a normal single icon on home screen (for the folder inside which are the shortcuts).
You can modify the icon for the main folder icon & the inside shortcut icons as you please.
Several shortcuts can be saved this way with either horizontal card panning or vertical scroll of shortcuts; background colour & transparency adjustable.
So that's close to what I've done as a temp. A folder with shortcuts in it. Cmarks was glorious cuz it had everything in a nice tight list and syncd with Google bookmarks automatically. It was like you bookmarks bar in 1 icon. I so miss this functionality.
