I needed to add a dialer icon and used AnyCut, but the icon is cropped and looks bad. I then added other icons and most are cropped off.
Anyone else have issues with AnyCut and it cropping or cutting the icon.
Also, can anyone recommend an AnyCut alternative?
Bump, Bump
Anyone know of an AnyCut alternative?

Give dgQuickCut a try.
Thx for the recommendation, but the same thing happens.

I had been having this same issue, and though it's annoying I did find how to fix it (at least on my Droid X) After you have made all your shortcuts, and the icons looks crappy, restart your phone. This made them shrink to the proper size for me.
I have a different issue with anycut where certain contacts just will not add as a dial shortcut. Had to use motorola's built in contact quick task shortcuts, which I dont like as much..

Tried what you recommended by didn't work for me. But thanks all the same for trying to help
is it just me or has this happened to anyone else.. but i just purchased an HTC Inspire today and the location updates without a problem.. but every place that im at or been through the weather data is always not available.
Had the same issue earlier on my inspire and my daughter's desire z. Working fine for me now so I assumed it was just a temporary problem.
I only really care about the weather where my home is, so so I could leave wireless networks off but still have my home weather, and HTC includes like 2 us cities, I edited the weather's settings.db to include my city in its choices for default cities. Worked good.
If anyone's interested ill have to check exactly what sqlite values I edite, can't remember off the top of my head.
I'm interested. You really know you're stuff dude.

Thanks di11igaf, can't wait to mess around with it, when I get off work too
Sorry guys, not using sense right now and didn't have time last night to flash my sense Rom back. I'll do It tonight and write how to add a location. If someone wants to look into it before me though its in /data/data/ one of the HTCweather database files(there's a few), and inside that its one of the .db files. You'll need an sqlite editor to change the values either on the phone(you can buy one from within root explorer), or edit it on your pc and put it back. You'll see what has to be changed cause it will have all the locations listed inside the db file. I'll know exactly what to edit later with a step by step.
Actually I think you've given us enough to empower ourselves I'm going to tackle this tonight. Thanks again.

On my stock (i.e. not rooted) AT&T Inspire, the weather widget sucked. You can not add weather locations that you may be interested in. (Score one for iPhone).
My great solution: Get Weather Bug app (or something similar). You can add any location you wish and get more info.
Now you need a way to link the stock HTC clock widget to the Weather Bug app. Well you can NOT do it.
SO, get Fancy Widgets! They have 100 of cool widgets, including the nice looking HTC clock/weather widget (small and large), and it includes custom options to set which app to start / link when tapped.
So when you tap the weather widget part, Weather Bug starts. Tap clock, goes to the stock clock / alarm app.
Problem solved, home screen works better than iPhone!
HaloShortcuts
Coincidently, there's another HaloShortcuts by @MainstreamStereotype that is similar to this one. :silly:
His has an additional feature and that is the ability to choose Activities within an App.
Please check his out also :good:
What?
A shortcut selector to add a shortcut in floating mode on homescreen or for apps that uses shortcut selector.
It adds a shortcut with the intent flag 0x00002000.
For?
For ROMs that make use of the intent flag 0x00002000.
Examples include Paranoid Android ROMs with Halo.
(This might work with OmniROM's MultiWindow but I need someone to confirm before I write it down. )
Downloads?
In Attachments. (Dates are in DDMMYY)
Backup Downloads from Google Drive
Open-source!
This module is open-source! Sources are found on my GitHub.
If you would like to help in the development, you may leave bug reports and development tips in this thread or (better still) fork and send pull requests
Screenshots?
works perfectly on my Galaxy S4-I9505, thanks
Works great on s2 with kitkat rom pound....

This app only makes shortcuts with the halo flag. It doesn't affect the launcher. It has probably been redrawing ALL the time but you only notice it now since it is floating and not fullscreen.
I never get redraws this app actually crashes my launcher so it has to restart and I only get this issue with this app

Is it the actual running of the app itself, or the launch of a halo shortcut created by this app... that is causing the redraw? What Launcher do you have and rom?
It happens when I launch an app from the shortcut I create with this app I use the sense 5 launcher on a HTC one x thanks for replying it's viper x Rom 4.0.6

First thing I would try is downloading an alternative free launcher eg Go Launcher. Install, and do a quick test to see if a new Halo shortcut causes the same issue. Should take 5 minutes. Then if you still have the issue, then it's probably rom related. BTW, do you have any other rom features enabled that might be interfering? (eg Multi Window or something like that)
No nothing that would interfere although the room is heavily modded but floatifications works fine and open halo from notification also works I do get an occasional fc though had that problem since version 2.0 of xhalo appsi also works ok I don't really want a different launcher because of BlinkFeed but for trying purposes Ill try thanks for replying

Is it possible to update this app to create shortcuts that point to "Shortcuts" in Android as well instead of just app shortcuts?
You know, the screen when u long press on the launcher and you get this page to create direct shortcuts to contacts, bookmarks, gmail labels etc.
Because it would be handy to create shortcuts that link to specific functions inside apps instead of having to launch the apps in windows mode and then navigating to the required functions i.e. shortcut to a specific whatsapp contact, specific settings screen.
Do consider it, or if anyone has a solution do let me know, thanks!
I hope the thanks received from zst123 means this request has been added to some to do list out there?
edit : oh man, another thanks. Don't tease me...SAY SOMETHING! Or should I keep posting to accumulate thanks?
how to check intent flag?
works great in s3 omega rom when using it as a launcher icon, or through glovebox.. BUT if you want to use LMT launcher that doesnt support system shortcuts but support tasker... launching tasker task--> autoshortcut plugin --> haloshortcut... doesnt work.. the app opens in fullscreen
Hey guys,
I posted this twice on Disqus on the XDA News Commenting but somehow it didn't show (internet failure?) and I'm typing this again.
I'm really lazy to retype, so in short, I created this in Sept in my XHFW thread in this post's attachments
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45669212&postcount=476
A few weeks ago, I improved it and posted it in this thread. However, a recently I saw this post on Google+
https://plus.google.com/117734680838440546478/posts/cbXCgnjTAwj
where Matthias Bidlingmeyer had created a similar app with similar name. That is is better than mine in the sense that it has the ability to choose individual activity for the chosen app. It coincidently was posted a few days before my thread was opened. I didnt't know it existed and of course didn't copy it. I hope this would clear things up before the "you copied me" fight starts. If I had known it existed, wouldn't you think I would also implement individual activity support? The other dev does deserve credit. This is purely just a coincidence (sadly)...
Great app

Works great on omnirom 4.4.2 for Nexus 10 (Tempest ROM omni-4.4-20131218-manta-TEMPEST )
It's not better if it doesn't do shortcuts. Seriously, how many here understand what each activity in each app does?

It has to do with the way the plugin handles the created shortcut. So I can't really help you in this

There is only one flag that is added and that is the halo flag. What flag are you trying to check?

See the attachments for a screenshot of his app. For example you could create a shortcut to go directly to the WifiSettings instead of the main Settings page when you have to do one extra step. An Activity is the proper Android term for a "page" (not really a page but I can't think of a better word)
Remember how, in the older versions of Android, there was a button to get to Settings where the status bar was when you pulled down the notification shade?
Now, you can dedicate a whole tile to it, and it simulates the same affect, except... I don't like it.
See attached picture. There's plenty of space up there to have a little settings button. I hate having to swipe over to the tiles to get to it.
Anyone know how I can get this beloved retro feature back?

If you decompile SystemUI.apk and then make smali edits you can add in the Settings icon and function like you want, check out this guide as a starting point for what you want to do and I would adapt it to fit your needs.

A lot of people have been having trouble finding out how to enable download booster and until a developer makes a mod to enable the native settings in your settings this is the only wave I know of to be able to do so.
In order to do this you will need to use a third party launcher. In this example I use Nova Launcher - launchers like Apex should work as well (as well as most decent third party launchers).
1. Go to home screen.
2. Hold down your finger on the screen till menu pops up.
3. Click on Shortcuts.
4. Click on Activities.
5. Scroll down to "Settings" and click on it which will open up a long list of things.
6. Scroll through the list till you find Download Booster. Click on it.
7. Now you will have a shortcut on your home screen that will take you to the download booster settings screen.
8. Enable download booster.
9. Enjoy
P.S. Wasn't 100% what forum to put this under as it's obviously not "development" nor did I think it was general or Q/A so I thought here was the most fitting (as it is kinda an "app" I guess?) - mods feel free to move to this to the appropriate forum if need be.

There's also an app on the play store called activity launcher that will work to open and/or create the shortcut as well.

Also like the S5 from Sprint its there but thats all it is until someone can get it working. When its working it will show both download speeds and show the icon as bright not grey. Unless its working for someone else i just know its not for me same issue with s5 until someone modded it.
I understand what this does, but what is the benefits of enabling this? Does this interfere with Wifi calling?

When its active it will be the same color as your wifi icon. ...on s5 its how it was when they finally got it working
I can confirm that the icon will show up with this method but it does not light up. Looks like the feature is disabled.

Yes all carriers but T-Mobile have i believe. But someone will get it going im sure
Heads up, the Galaxy Tools app in the playstore will add the native icon to the quick settings in the notification bar....just select "Add all Notification Toggles"....throws a few extra in there as well
Works
Its there but don't "work"
I found some other settings that were thought to be lost to this phone. Smart scroll, and hand gesture call answering. Do the same thing, shortcuts, activities, settings, smart scroll and air gesture.
