Shortcut to a phone number?

I am setting up Ultimate Launch, and wish to add a shortcut that opens the dialer with a specific number.
Basically, create an icon that dials a number I have pre-set.
What shortcut can I use for this? Are the command line parameters for the dialer?
Thanks

[Q] set default call history for WM?

I have been using icontact and htc dialer together for quite sometime and I am wondering if there is a way to change the default call log to the one in iContact.
I have icontact as my default contact app, but when I access the misscalls from WM Lockscreen, it loads the manila Call Log instead, which a part of HTC dialer I believe.
Any help would be great.

Modifying Contact shortcut

I have added shortcuts on one of my screens to certain contacts for quick easy access. When you select one of these contacts a popup menu displays showing 4 selections. On my particular phone it shows Phone, Skype, Gmail, Contacts. I would like to remove Contacts and add instead Handcent SMS. How would you go about doing this? Or is this even possible?

HTC Sense Refugee - Looking for Help with TouchWiz equivalents

As a recent refugee from HTC Sense, there are a couple of features from HTC Sense that I'd love to be able to replicate on the GSIII.
#1 - to help with conference code entry, on HTC Sense if you click on a phone number from an appointment entry, the dialer is displayed with the phone number populated, you click call, and when the call is connected the appointment entry is shown in the space above the number keypad so that you can see the appointment details including conference call codes
#2 - is there an equivalent widget to the 3x3 contact favorites widget included with HTC Sense that allows you to set a default # to dial for the contact and/or display the contact full details?
#3 - can you set homescreen shortcuts to individual mailboxes? i.e., i have 3 different ActiveSync accounts and I like the ability to have a unique shortcut to get to each one (even better is if the shortcut shows the # unred for each mailbox)
#4 - suggestions for a HTC Sense like dialer? the TouchWiz dialer takes more clicks to find contacts than I recall from Sense
Thanks so much for the suggestions.

Don't know all of these, but i think I can make a few recommendations.
For your dialer, I would try a 3rd party one. Some should be a little smarter than the touchwiz one. Search for a dialer in the playstore and try them out.
If you want shortcuts, Nova or apex launcher allows you to make many more customizations than the stock touchwiz launcher. I'm pretty sure you can set specific shortcuts for your mailboxes through them.
Touchwiz definitely has its limitations, those widgets sound pretty cool. I don't know any widgets off the top of my head that are equivalent.

Default email app unread notification

I am using the default email app with an Exchange server account. Is there any way to see a numerical indication of the number of unread messages in the inbox through an icon on the screen? I use the email widget that when pressed, takes me right to my Inbox. In the Samsung world this widget would show the number of unread messages in real time. Can't seem to replicate that with Google's default mail app. Anyway to accomplish this?

You can install a different launcher (like Nova) and it can show you unread count next to the icon.

Any way to accomplish this through DashClock?
