ADW Launcher Dockbar shortcut issue

I mistakenly replaced the "Dialer Storage" shortcut icon at the bottom that was once in the Dockbar. I search through the installed apps, but I only see "Dialer".
I could be wrong, but I believe this is the default Android dialer... Have you tried reinstalling ADW - this might bring it back...you would, of course have to uninstall ADW first.

Maybe it was jus a modified shortcut icon and it really led to the dialer app?

Try "Anycut" from the Market. It lets you create shortcuts for hidden apps.

I used Anycut and found the correct dialer icon. Thanks
Search on the market for "CreativeThemez" for awesome themes!

To get the call log shortcut
Go to home screen and long press and select custom shortcut/pick your activity/activities/dialer storage
If you dont have any sub activity as above in dialer storage do as below.
Go to home screen and long press and select custom shortcut/pick your activity/activities/phonebook/Call log
And select any icon you prefer and save it on home screen.
Then simply drag it to the bottom bar any location u prefer.

Home screen shortcut to widget?

Is there a way to create an icon on my home screen, that when tapped, would act as a shortcut and open up a widget, such as a calendar widget?

Like what widget? You can add a widget to your homescreen by long press on the home screen. The menu will pop up and you can select from the widgets you have... you can also create a shortcut to any app by the same long press and selecting shortcuts...

If you're opening up something its an activity/app not a widget. You don't open a widget a widget opens an app.
I think OP is talking about having a shortcut that applies a widget to the home screen. I find that this would be useful if you say had a backup of your homescreen. Whenever I load a backup of a homescreen configuration I had, the widgets would always say "problem loading widget." The backup only restores shortcuts and placements. So this would save you from having to delete and readd widgets.
I have 2 suggestions.
Power Strip

or Quickdesk Beta/Pro
https://market.android.com/details?id=sg.ruqqq.quickdesk&feature=search_result
I use them both. here's a brief run down of how they each work
Power strip - it's a bar along the bottom of the screen with buttons for access to all your installed applications, shortcuts, widgets and whatever else you can figure out to put in it. i LOVE IT. It's 2 bux, but WELL worth the cost IMO. you can assign it to your home button or the hold search key (i use the home button for quick and easy access) but you can stuff as many widgets in there are you want and THEN SOME.. it's awesome! PLUS.. you can set it up to launch in ANY APP. say you're in maps.. but o snaps.. you forgot to turn on the wifi.. hold search and up comes powerstrip without even leaving maps.. you have your settings widget on the bar.. open it up.. tap the wifi button. slap the back key to exit powerstrip and voila.
Quickdesk - think if it as ONE of the panels from you homescreen. It's just one page that you can put widgets on.. on shortcoming... no scrolling widgets with this one. but likewise it can be accessed anywhere without leaving whatver app you're in.
These are both GREAT choices and i use them both... powerstrip is DEFINITELY the more flexible of the two though.

Ok just to confirm, a lot Widgets CANNOT be activated without being as widgets on the main screen. However, in launcher pro (not sure about other launchers), if you hard press and select "shortcuts">"application" then select the widgets (if u see any) that u like. It will also give u an option to customize the icon of your choice. This is one way to activate a widget by simply clicking the icon. Hope I helped.

[Q] Problem Customizing Lockscreen

I used No-Sense++ to clean my phone (S-OFF) and got a problem:
After all i can not customize the Sense-Lockscreen Startapps cause of a missing "Customize" Icon in my launcher settings since i use GO Launcher Ex.
I tried to get into the Lockscreen Settings through "Settings" -> "Customize (Personalisieren in german) but the menu item does not start and i am back on my homescreen.
Is there another way to get into the lockscreen settings?
thx for reading

when on the home screen you should be able to press the menu button and a bunch of options will appear you should see settings and/or preferences there.. should be about to sort something out from there
No it is not .
That's why I ask for an alternative way to configure it. I know the standart ways of doing so. Sorry if this sounds rude... I am xxxxx that I cannot configure it.

You can't access the Personalize on launchers. It just takes you back to home screen. have you tried using widgetlocker app?
Just tested it. That's not what I want
Anybody any clue where HTC saves the settings?

[Q] Any way to remove the default lock screen widget?

I have gone into security settings and enabled lock screen widgets. This allows me to add DashClock widget to the lockscreen, however, I am unable to remove the default weather/clock widget from the lock screen. "Remove" is greyed out and the only option when you grab it is to "edit" it. DashClock works fine and I can remove it like normal.
This wouldn't be too big of a deal but it won't let me move the default to a different screen, its locked to page one so to get to DashClock I have to swipe.. Well, if I have to swipe its pretty pointless to have lockscreen widgets, I can just swipe to unlock the phone and have my widget on my homescreen.
I was able to take some screenshots to demonstrate what I'm talking about - I'm "new" so I can't post the link but try this: imgur.com/a/oCfVt
I was unable to find a way myself. I've been using this lock screen app instead https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slidelock
Really nice. Lots off features.

subbed for answer
Has anyone found a solution to this?
Only way to do is ..
The only way to hide/disable the stock HTC weather/clock widget is if you have rooted devices with installed Xposed Framework. There is a module called "Sense 6 Lockscreen Modes" where you have an option to remove/hide the widget, in that way being able to have any other widget on your main lockscreen !
I researched about this a lot, and the most covenantway to disable/hide the widget was to apply this module, plus you can have it back any time you want, just by disabling that module!
