Every time the phone shortcut is clicked, a toast pops up that reads 'could not launch the requested activity'. What are some possible reasons and solutions?
What Launcher? What ROM? What Mods did you apply? Etc.

Tried but can't figure it out. If you have two dialer app and tap the phone shortcut on Launcher Pro dock, it'll ask you to pick one dialer to launch. If I set one as default dialer app, then the default app will be launched when I tap the shortcut.
How do I add similar shortcuts for other apps? For example, I'd like to add a shortcut for messaging that will ask me which one to launch if I have two messaging apps but have not set the default. After I set the default messaging app, the shortcut will launch it when tapped.
Thanks!

Long press one of your shortcuts or one of the plus signs in the hidden dock and hit change shortcut, then select applications and choose your app. then hit default icon.
If you want the shortcut on your home screen, long press and hit shortcuts... then the same as above. Doing it this way won't ask you for a default because you are choosing the app you want for that shortcut, not sure there is a way to do it like your asking.
Thanks, but this is not what I want. I want to launch the default app, not a specific app.
The phone shortcut has the behavior I want.

Have you tried going to Settings/Applications, find the app you want, select it, the scroll down and use the Reset Default or Clear Default option?
That should make it ask you next time you try to use one of the similar apps which you want to use and the option to make it default.
I have CM7 on my inspire and i put Newsweek Mobile widget on my homescreen and I expanded it to fit the whole screen, but now I can't remove it. I long-press the widget and a trashcan shows up, but i can't move it into the trashcan. The widget doesn't get highlighted or anything. I uninstalled the app because I thought that would help but now there's just a "problem loading widget" thing on the screen and the same problem occurs. Is there any way to remove a widget from the backend?

long press and release, a pop up menu should slide in with a "remove" option on it. i assume you are using the stock launcher ADW which comes with cyan 7.
Do you have lock background on?

I'm using launcher pro plus. The long press thing doesn't work. And what do you mean a lock background?

This can be closed. I figured it out. I changed the number of rows in Launcher Pro Plus to 8, then I was able to long-press the widget and drag it to the trashcan. Then I just changed my rows back to 5.
Hello guys,

Are you using a third party launcher like ADW? I noticed that the "Application Manager" widget only shows on the TouchWiz launcher.

are you rooted and have you deleted it if you are on a stock rom but it may have been removed from a custom rom... actually it is on a home screen by default.
Yeah look .... see you should see that in your widgets
With the stock launcher (tw launcher) the stock email program icon will overlay the number of new items. This does not happen in go launcher. How do i get the icon to show # of new messages?

I've since tried a few of the other launchers and found that notifications are lacking in them.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get any of the launchers to display notifications the same way as the default launcher? I like seeing the red number on the email icon.
Also is there a way to get the voicemail icon to display the number in any launcher including stock? I hate having to watch the notification bar for an increase in the number (up from 3) indicating that i need to drop the bar to see what additional notifications are available.

Have you tried the Go Notification plugin for Go Launcher. I don't use it, but it sounds like what you are looking for.
I hadnt. I'll have to give it a try as I did like go launcher a lot

The go launcher notification plug-in is what i'm lookin for except that it needs notifications for email, phone calls, voice mail... So disapointing.
