Ran into the issue where the lockscreen shortcut wasn't showing the Phone in the list. It was kind of pissing me off, so I made a simple app that will simply launch the Phone app. That's it. It's just a shortcut essentially.
Install as a regular APK.
I've named it "Phone" in the app drawer and gave it the same icon (as seen in screenshots below). I can rename it to like Dialer or something if you guys prefer to be able to distinguish it, but I'm sure this will do the trick for the majority who have this issue.
Works great thanks! It was pissing me off too after flashing ROMs it would dissappear
Thanks

How do you install this on your sensation? I tried clicking the link and installing as a regular apk as I normally would and it says the content is not supported on the phone. No application can be found to open this file. I even tried scanning the QR Code and it doesn't seem to work as well. Any suggestions? I appreciate your help as I am a noob on here.

Install astro and look in options, there should be a setting to enable all downloads from the internet.
Man, thanks so much for this APK. Just ran into this issue myself, and your solution worked out perfectly.
Any help for this issue? Got a "The application DialerShortcut (process com.roman.dialershortcut) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. This happens everytime I try to press on the shortcut. Additionally, on my home screen, everytime I try to press "Phone" at the bottom of the screen, nothing pops up...

Thanks beyond a million for the apk!! As a company, why the hell would they remove the damn dialer shortcut!?!?!
this worked for my HTC sensation, I really appreciate you creating this app, thank you.
Hi Roman,
Do you mind sharing this piece of source code? I am newbie and want to create a shortcut to other applications in the draws. Thanks.
SCREENSHOT ER
Screenshot ER is a free screen capture app for all rooted devices, proven to work where nothing else does.
Easy to use and with lots of settings for capture maniacs too!
This app is a pure screen capture utility and nothing more. You get all the possible capture methods:
★ Long press on search button
★ Shortcut
★ Delay
★ Device shake
★ Visible or invisible notification icons
The root daemon is complemented by a powerful suite of options designed to increase ease of use and compatibility across a wide range of devices:
★ Interactive thumbnail preview
★ Rotate and flip images
★ Manage service with widget
★ Customize file names
★ Dynamic image override
★ Disable service when screen is off
And of course, all the usual options are there - image type, countdown timers, share menu integration, and an editable storage folder.
FREE VERSION simply restricts all delays to 6 seconds.
ROOT ACCESS is mandatory. Look at the following if you don't know what that means: http://goo.gl/bs8Zx
LOG PERMISSIONS are for feedback - you don't have to send logs if you don't want to, and if you do no private information is sent.

Wow... no trolling yet!
Works great. Thanks
Will download now, i assume there is no more need for Dropcap2 with this installed (it seems to have more features)
Would of tried it over Screenshot It but user reviews and comments strayed me away, sorry.
Your loss. You really should not listen to those idiots, they were told how to upgrade and wouldn't do it. Their loss too, because this is the best capture app on the market.
Those guys were smartasses at first, but now hey are smartasses using inferior software to prove a point... but to whom? You obviously.

Do you know if this would work on Rooted E-Ink devices?
Hmmm let me see... why don't you try it yourself for Christs sake?
Ill have to assume you did...
Loving that its free again, great idea! Thanks mate!
I did try it. It took a picture of the screen, however the shoot was in color and not gray scale as I would have liked it.
Well, that's because the overlay is in color. Have you found an app that would emulate greyscale for you?
Awesome app. I downloaded the lite version and left a comment. Then I used it to take this pic of the comment LOL! great work!

I've been using Android from a really long time, I used to always get annoyed when I got SMS while I was in full screen mode, so I decided to write something to help me with this. I uploaded it to Play about three weeks ago. It's a free app with no ads nor Internet permission. I'm hoping to get some feedback and advice from you guys
Please consider to let me know how to make it better before leaving a bad review.
SMS Flash on Google Play
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bl.smsflash
About SMS Flash :
Instant SMS notification without stealing focus! Specially built for gamers.
SMS Flash is a simple application that displays incoming SMS as soon as they are received, in a non interactive way. Unlike SMS popup, you can touch through the displayed SMS and continue interaction with the screen. So you do not need to stop what you were doing to read the SMS.Its very handy when you are playing Games, watching movie, recording video, taking pictures, browsing etc.
SMS is formatted and notified as a transparent view on the fly, you can set the number of seconds the SMS has to be displayed and you can use Proximity sensor to
1. Dismiss SMS Flash on first touch of Proximity sensor
2. Extend the display time when you need more to finish reading by touching and holding
3. Go to reply box when Proximity sensor is touched twice
V 2.4 Released :
[New] : Added Added Image size limit to 100x100 dip
[New] : Added Preview option. (Displays only 1 line)
[New] : Option to decrease reply trigger to 1 sec
[Fix] : FC resolved.
[Fix] : Pocket trigger fixed
V 2.3 Released :
: SMS Flash doesn't blink as much.
: Font size configurable.
: Debugger option added.
: Reply issues with LG devices fixed.
That is great idea! Thank you very much... Have been testing it for an hour so far and works great. I love the idea with proximity sensor...
What I would perhaps add is option to enable the pop up window on locked screen as well... just leaving the background black and having this beautiful on the screen when the phone is locked would be perfect (for me ).
Anyway thanks once more...
I'd love to try this app but unfortunately play market says it can't be installed in my country (Turkey) and one more thing, is the proximity sensor the only way to interact with this app?

Yup that's a great idea but I'm just worried that it might cause wake locks :-( not to mention how seriously wake locks are considered by users.. But il surely try to add it

What a god damn awesome idea!! I can't tell you how bloody annoying it is when im doing a video review of an app for my youtube channel and im in a full screen app and i get an sms or even when im just playing a game testing it out and stuff, I don't want to go to my homescreen to see the text because if i do i have to restart the first app all over again and start from the beginning. This will save me from doing that! awesome app!
never seen this app
it seems cool, i will try
Great idea! Thank you for your app! I'll try it!

hey there, I just installed [ROM] CM7-APOCALYPSE-FINAL [09.07.12] [FireKernel OC] and finished everything but then I got a problem with the messaging apps.
There's no messaging app in the apps drawer, and when I clicked the one on the home screen it says ".could not launch the requested activity"
I'm sorry for posting here but I can't post on the original thread due to post amount restriction. Thanks a lot for your help
P.S. this is the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700749

3.1 BETA OUT NOW
This is my first app, so lots of *constructive* feedback would be nice.
It's nothing special (I did it on MIT AppInventor like the noob who knows no java that I am)
Ever leave somewhere and forget how to get back?
Problem = Solved.
Simply press the button and it will remember your "Island Location" -- for you Lost fans --which you can name.
The rest is pretty self explanatory.
Screenshots in attachments
CHANGELOG
// What's new in 3.1
-- Added 2 customizeable saved locations
-- Fixed buttons getting cut off
// What's new in 2.1
-- Settings bugs hopefully fixed -- I'm currently testing it
*Changng to Lost background will apply after app is closed and reopened
// What's new in 2.0
-- Settings -- Change the look of the main screen
MORE SETTINGS TO COME -- just a trial run right now
// Planned changes for next version
-- Whatever I can think of. Any suggestions?
P.S. If you want an older version just pm me I'll get it for you
Has anyone used this app? Really looking for some feedback...
I downloaded your app, and you have a good idea and it is functional, although obviously limited in design and some functionality due to the lack of raw java. I also think it would be nice to have some settings of some sort, if it's possible to add those with the program you used to create it

I'm working on adding settings now. I plan to make the background and fonts changeable because I know I can easily do that. If you have any other settings ideas I can give them a shot.
I'm also looking to make the app able to remember multiple locations.
Thanks for the feedback.
Great idea! You should add a list of remembered places so one can chose where to go back to.

Does your app do something that using Google Maps w/ starred locations doesn't do?
If I go somewhere and think I might be so unfamiliar with the area that I might not be able to locate my car, I star the location I've parked at then use that when I leave wherever I went to easily find my spot.
It kind of sounds like your app does this too, but as its only feature?

Probably not. The only difference I imagine is that the app does it just by pushing buttons. It actually uses Google maps for directions. Sorry if that's disappointing for you haha
3.1 is up. This mostly a bump post haha. Would love to get some feedback
