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.
i found the hidden menu
in dial type 1809#*999#
so i want to change the browser setting to desktop default on my G2x instead of having mobile view. how would i do that? i know i have to change something in Browser Utility but dont noe what exactly. can anyone help me out. Thanks.
just type the following in your web browser address bar
about:debug
hit enter then go to menu>more>UAstring>desktop.
It doesn't work for all websites in froyo but it does in gingerbread.

How do you get the settings to stick after a reboot? Trying to change the brightness of the keys on the bottom.
Edit: Found the answer from a kernel thread I posted in. Thought I would share here:
My lights were on full, all the time the screen was on. Internet, games, whatever. The tip from snoleopard9 appears to have fixed my issue.
I found this free app on the market for those that want the full name: LG 2X/G2X Touch Key Brightness
Thanks for the help.
whenever I entered the code 1809#*999# it says com.android.process.acore FC

So back to op's question....
What do you chose in the "change_uastring" menu?
Type in secret menu
Browser utility>change uastring
I see list of phone/browser types but which one is the desktop version. What do you check to make the defualt browser open in a desktop version
Thanks
And please I already know about typing "about:debug" that's not what the op was asking. You don't need the hidden menu to do that from the browser ...

why the hidden menu didn't appear after i had typed 1809#*999*?
my rom is Faux123 1.2.1 r2

That app is not free? It is $1.50... ridiculous. Maybe the dev change it after he saw your post? lol. There is another though, LG Optimus 2x touch key lights - That one is free, and is exactly the same as the $1.50 app. Plus, it has a "Thanks" to the XDA community. That's the one I want.
ANYWAYS..... if we could stay on topic and answer the original OP's question..
Seriously i cant believe no one knows the answer to this. THERE HAS to be a way of permanantly setting the defualt browser to open in desktop view and making and keeping it that way after a reboot or exit of browser. entering about:debug into the broswer, has nothing to do with this question unless you can tell me how to make it a perma fix. WE are talking abt making this a perma fix through the hidden menu or any toher hack.
ANYONE?????
i did some poking around, it looks like your only option is to try another browser like dolphin. If that's not an option, there's nothing you can do..
I recommend Skyfire (you can change UI on the fly) or Opera Mobile 11 if you want another browser engine.
i dialed in the code and no menu appeared for me i running cm7.1 nightly 201. Does that make any difference?

You can do it through the hidden menu, but it does cause some flash issues.
Just click on "browser utility", then "change UA string" then select mozilla. :/

Does anyone else use this app and experience a problem where after a while half of the wallpaper goes black? It seems to be something to do with the orientation because it's as if it thinks it's in portrait so it cuts part of the wallpaper off. Switching the tablet's orientation to portrait and back temporarily fixes it.
Not sure if it's an app bug, honeycomb or just my tablet.. haven't seen anyone else mention it :S
No it is not your tablet, I had the same problem with my xoom. Are you using another program like HD wallpapers to set wallpapers? If so, this is your problem. What you have to do is download the wallpaper you want then use ww to set it. Hope this helps.

Ah ok thanks! Was using ww to set it to no scroll and then was using gallery to set the wallpaper. Have done it with ww now so should be all good.

I'll have to give that a try. I had stopped using the program because of this issue, but scrolling is SO much smoother with wallpaper scrolling disabled. Thanks!
Hmm.. thought it had solved the problem but it still happened. Have sent an email to the developer so hopefully will get a response
Cannot say thanks enough for the WW app!!!! I was about to go postal trying to change all of my sizes for wallpapers! Nothing worked and it all looked crappy. WW to the rescue! Thanks a ton!
And now I have the dreaded "black bar!!!" Jeezus these android devices are kilin me here! Why is this so damn difficult...
Forgot to post response from dev the other day, seems to be a problem with android not the app:
Hello James,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Twisted Apps. I really appreciate the information and hopefully I can explain the issue.
The black screen is not due to Honeycomb, but instead due to an Android API bug. I have noticed the error myself and I have only created a work around for it within the app. I have tried posting the issue to Android forums, but I haven't received a goodresponse as of yet. The problem happens more redly with devices that rotate because WW has to set the display demensionseach time the display isrotated. It isduring this Android API call that the screen goes back. The Wallpaper is still set, but nothing shows. Otherthan rotating the display, I have also created a Fix menu options. Select Menu->Fix and it attempts to resetyour current wallpaper. I personally have only noticed the error a few times with a few otherrandompeople mentioning it happening seldom. You are the first person to indicate it being more often then not. I amreally sorryit is causing issues for you.
Not the best solution, but here is a work around. Use WW to set your wallpaper as Scroll, and then if you want to set your screen to No Scroll use a home app such as Launcher Pro. When a home app normally sets the display to No scroll it doesn't keep reseting the display dimensions upon rotation. To get the Exact Setting with Scroll you will need to set the Wallpaper as Exact and then select menu->Scroll. Menu->Scroll will keep the current set wallpaper, but change it from No Scroll to Scroll. As a note most people like WW because of the No Scroll option, but WW also automatically resizes the images withouthavingto do special modifications to the image.
Twisted Apps is my startup with WW being the firstapp. I have anotherfull time occupation,but I willlook into this issue in the next couple of weeks to see if I can find a more permanent solution. Again,I sincerely appreciate you using WW and your time to e-mail me.
I hope you can be patient while I find a solution.
Sincerely,
--Russell T Mackler [email protected]

since upgrading to gingerbread, when i turn phone to landscape in email, the folder list remains on the left side and the email i'm reading is on the right. With Froyo, the folder list was not there, providing full landscape for the email itself. what, if anything, am i doing wrong?
do you use the Gmail app or the regular Email app? I use Gmail and I get full landscape.

That's just how the email app works in GB.

I've noticed a bug in the Gmail app in that if you go in to landscape mode before opening an email, it doesn't observe the setting to disable the top context menu to get a near full-screen effect. If you back out of the email, go in to vertical mode and open the email and *then* go in to landscape mode, it works.
Is that what you're referring to?
when you are in the email app. hit the menu button. then go to acct settings and the very last setting should say split view mode and just uncheck that and it will hide the email list and only show the current one you are looking at.
Hope this helped
Thank You Deputy13!!!

Hi @Flyview cool concept. You asked for feedback. I think you should allow the transitions to be slower 2 seconds is to fast.
I don't really understand the seconds of the transition is it random ?
You might want to show a small overlay as a tutorial on first start I found the one tap to pause which is nice and the two tap to like, but I liked a picture without knowing what the 2 tap would do and I don't know which one it was
I'd like a go back feature too, if you see a picture and right when it disappears you notice something but you can't go back, so just a see previous like a swipe right.
Living in Paris I learned with your app that most pictures on instagram are of the Eiffel tower
Getting a blank screen many times.

It will show a new picture whenever there is a new one available (up to minimum of every second), this will be configurable. I have to think of a good way to show previous pictures. I was thinking the old ones would become scrollable below but if someone new comes to the app they may think it's like Instagram where the point is to scroll down. And yes, intro overlay should be added as well. That's awesome about Paris haha!

good idea, but this is what I get right after connecting. no access to anything!
btw does it work with gps only or can it localise based on network?
Cool idea but I think the suggestions above are a must. Keep it up man

Hmmm that's not good. Do you have Google apps installed? What's your Android OS and ROM? It'll work with whatever location provider is available, GPS is not necessary.
Do you mean "Google apps device policy"? no
I run 4.4.2 on Asus A86 device
@Flyview nice app i have few suggestions
1. Ability to select the distance range for nearby pictures
2. Ability to click the user of the pic uploader, which takes directly to their profile so that we can follow them.
3. Custom picture refresh time.
4. Add an overlay which has buttons to Pause/Play Previous/Next buttons.
tried uninstall, reinstall and login.
there is an error warning warning telling me i have to enable cookies in my browser, or disable private mode? then this blank screen all the time. only way to reach login page is uninstall/reinstall

Oh ok that makes sense then. You need to enable cookies in Chrome (or whatever browser the Instagram login page is using). Otherwise LivePics can't log you in to your Instagram account.

well i checked and cookies are enabled in every browser installed: default, chrome, firefox, opera. not sure witch one instagram is using. will dig deeper in settings.
Same problem, I only get a white screen. Running KiKat on a stock TMobile Note 3. Tried clearing data. Hangs on login screen usually, then it will give the login/cookies error message. If I get past that, back to white screen. Tried uninstalling, then reinstalling - same results.
04/14 - update installed this week - fixed the problem - working fine now.

So do you ever see the screen where you enter username/password for instagram or does the message come before that? A screenshot would be great!
error message appear after login. then blank screen.
