A while ago I had a widget that created a short cut to the hidden menu (*#*#4636#*#*). Anyone know what I can use to do this again?
Pretty much I had a icon a page where is took me directly to *#*#4636#*#* once I pressed it.

if you use one of the better launchers you can create a shortcut on your desktop and get to it that way with one click. I forget exactly how but if search how to get to hidden menu you will find detailed inst.
Thanks guys. I'm pretty sure the program i use to use is anycut.

Is there any app that allows you to open the Home Long Press via a single tap on the home button? (i.e. not a long press)
Why would you want that?? then you'd have to long press home to goto your homescreen and that would be annoying this kind of app would also require root to
(i think)

Because I want it.
And who said a long press was the only method of getting back home?
And yes, I'm rooted and running CM6.
I guess nothing like this exists?
I use a program called MoreRecent, which shows the last 15 opened apps, it's accessed with a long press on search, or you can place a shortcut to it on the home screen.
Not exactly what you want, but maybe helpful for you.
I can't post links, so search here on XDA for MoreRecent

Yep, I've seen that. If you check out the MoreRecent thread, you'll notice I've posted many times in that thread. It was actually my idea
But anyway, looking for a way to specifically do this with tapping the home button a single time.

If you have programming experience (or know someone who has) you could write a very simple home replacement app that would for a single tap launch whatever program you want, then on a double tap, launch your home screen, a bit like the app Quickdesk. That way you'll be able to intercept a single tap on the home button and still use the launcher of your choice with double tap.

I am having no luck in figuring out how to put a short cut to web page on my G-Tab home screen. The process is very simple on my Mytouch 4G. What am I missing?

Long press on any home screen until you get the popup with Shortcuts, Widgets, Folders, Wallpapers. Select Shortcuts and then Select Bookmark and select the webpage you want a shortcut to. Obviously you'll have to save the webpage as a Bookmark (Favourite) first to be able to do this.
Hope this helped.
That is the problem. I don't get the option for bookmark.

I don't know if it's necessary or there's just an extra process to go through but I notice "bookmark" is missing from mine as well where on my MT4G it's there, but if you get Dolphin Browser it will put a context link there for a bookmark for sure on the tablet and Dolphin is pretty nice.
Hope this helps, GL.

You don't get the option for Bookmark when you long press on an open area of a home screen?
What ROM are you running? I'm running VEGAn beta 5.1 and LOVING it.
Stock TnT 3389 with enhacement pack 3.1.4b.
Well I found one way to do this. If I bookmark a page from within the browser it gives the option of adding a shortcut to the home screen.
Hello guuys,
I just bought LauncherPro and i can't figure out how to solve my problem:
As you know, we can add programs simply by clicking the "+" symbol. 3edit dock shortcut" will pop up and let you choose between cahnge shortcut, change icon, and swipe gesture action.
I'm trying to get back the "+" symbol from the dock, but still don't know how to do it. I've the LauncherPro icon option, or the custom one, but can't find the default "+" icon.
Hope you can help me guys, i'm gonna be maaaaaaaaad!
Cheers.
Press and hold one of the icons in the dock until it appears.
Thanks for your reply. But i think you misunderstood. I know how to edit my icon/shortcut. My issue is that i can't find any "+" icon.

As far as I know, they are only there until you replace them with something else. No way to re-add them for re-use.

Yeah you can't them back once you overwrite it. If you want the icon itself try decompiling the apk and looking in the res folder. Otherwise LPP has support for scrollable docks (just swipe the dock to the right/left) so check the other two if you just want the look of it
Thanks for your answers guys.
I unrar the apk and found the icon i was looking for.
You can find it in the attached file.
edit: Problems have been solved, I am now officially in love with this ROM. Thanks to everyone who commented!
First off I'd just like to say Eclipse is fantastic. I'm sorry for leaving you Humble but TW4 is just simply magnificent! However, there are a few gripes I have that I would really appreciate some help on.
First: At the bottom of the screen there are the 4 preset application shortcuts(Phone, Contacts, Messaging, Applications) and I would really like to change Phone and Messaging to other applications(RocketDial & HandcentSMS) otherwise they are just going to waste. On Humble I could click Browser(for example) and it would ask if I wanted to open it with Dolphin HD or Browser, I would select Dolphin and choose that to be the default, and it was done. No such option exists on TW4(Eclipse) as far as I know.
Second: The app drawer on Humble used to be alphabetical and now it's just sorted by date, it was really convenient having it in alphabetical order so I could find apps very easily but that option too seems to be gone. Would really appreciate help and will distribute thanks where they are needed :]
not sure how TW4 is working, but I know on my MT4G running if you go to personalize and lock screen, you can pick which application runs by holding down the shortcuts and picking a new one.
I'll research this somemore and look it up for you
Really appreciate it Dragon, I looked it up and it said to hit the Menu button and click Edit Page, all that does is open up all my home pages. I figured the option to change the glued shortcuts wasn't working but I'm asking because I hope someone here who is also running Eclipse 1.3.1 has figured out a way to change it.
Im pretty sure u pull up your apps and then click the edit button up top and then u can change them.
Download appzorter on the market for the alphabatizing

Close, but it's not the edit button on the top of the page: first open the app drawer, then hit the phone's physical menu button and select Edit. From there you'll see highlights and a - button around each icon and you'll be able to pull apps from the drawer onto the shortcut bar (not vice versa, though, just pull them down and it'll replace what's there).
As far as alphabetizing goes, there are apps like appzorter that will help but just be aware it still won't be true automatic alphabetizing -- you have to manually run the sorting app each time you install something new to have it sorted. The only permanent solution is to switch to another launcher entirely.
Thank you everyone! I've now got an alphabetical app drawer, glued Contacts, Dolphin, Handcent(unfortunately not the widget, which shows a how many new messages you have) and the applications drawer. You've made this the perfect ROM :]
You can decompile the tw launcher and navigate to res/xml/default_topappilcation.xml and change the value to correspond with the apps you want.
Code:
xmlns:launcher="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher">
<topapp launcher:className="com.sec.android.app.dialertab.DialerTabActivity" launcher:packageName="com.sec.android.app.dialertab" />
<topapp launcher:className="com.sec.android.app.contacts.PhoneBookTopMenuActivity" launcher:packageName="com.android.contacts" />
<topapp launcher:className="com.android.mms.ui.ConversationList" launcher:packageName="com.android.mms" />
</topapps>

i found the best shortcuts to any app
is QuickShortcutMaker app ( free version Play store)
see screenshots
I have Nova Launcher Prime but found QuickshortcutMaker easier /more options etc

Using Nova:
Get into the home widgets selection, add a Nova widget of type Activity, then scroll the list until you find Settings, expand it and scroll up to the Battery item. Select it.
There you can also find all the possible shortcuts.
(I've translated the menu items from my Italian version)
Trying to add App Mgr using Nova Activities. Doesn't work. When I click or hold the setting it opens App Mgr but doesn't add it to home screen

If you use QuickShortcutMaker
it works fine
See screenshots.
Thanks. But got it to work finally. No need for another app.

To be honest , not sure. I just kept trying normal processes for adding widgets, then choosing nova activities, and under settings there are a ton of options for apps/app mgr, I kept trying different ones and one stuck.
Can not use for nova launcher.

I could be the dumb but which in the list of Settings shortcuts did you choose in QuickShortcutMaker to make the shortcut to the resolution changer?

Thanks for this.
The only thing that worked for me (Samsung S9+, Android 8.0.0) was the Nova launcher. QuickShortcutMaker went through the motions, but didn't actually put a shortcut on the home screen.
The Nova launcher works a treat, but why do Samsung oblige me to replace their launcher within the first half hour of owning their otherwise very nice phone?
I always switch on "Do not disturb" before going to sleep, as I use my phone as an alarm clock, so need to leave it switched on, but of course don't want alerts all night. As you can imagine, the last thing I want to be doing when I'm tired is effing around with settings, so having a shortcut to DND is essential.
The other shortcut I created was to the "Change Home" setting so I can easily switch back and forth between Nova and the "Samsung Experience" whenever I want. And you know something's going to be dodgy when they call it the "Something-or-other Experience"
Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!

it may be necroposting..but I'm having this exact same issue on android 10..I'd be infinitely happy with some sort of widget for this task...
theres a way to do it via the widgets screen when using nova launcher..I cant remember the exact steps for it.
