I have a Samsung S7, and lately some apps or virus started to create shortcuts to ads on my homescreen that look like app icons. I removed a lot of new apps but the phenomenon sticks. Usually the thug app creates shortcuts during the mid-night when I am asleep. I like to find how exactly which app is doing this. Thanks.
Have you disabled the automatic adding of shortcuts to your homescreen in the playstore settings?
I have. Also these are not shortcuts to apps, they are shortcuts to web pages. For example, one of them has an intent of `http://lvxin.kaixinmt.com/h5/lvxing.html#Intent;launchFlags=0x10000000;package=com.sec.android.app.sbrowser;end`.
It could be a virus, so you should install an anti virus program and see if that helps. But if that doesn't help then I'm afraid you are going to have to perform a factory reset which deletes all of the data, including the app or virus.

I'm not sure how it got deleted. I'm running Damage ROM. I added the Vanilla lock screen and flashed the market app fix. Somewhere when doing this my widget disappeared.
It's the widget that you can set for all the groups of people you have configured. It has 2 types, one takes up a full screen and the other is just a bar that only takes up one column of blocks. You can scroll through and set what happens when you select their name.
Can someone up this widget for me.
Thanks!
See if you can see the "People" app in Manage Applications. If so, try clearing data. That might bring the widget and app icon back.
I've had that problem with Calendar and Bookmark widgets.
I've had this issue with the bookmark and calendar widgets as well. Just go to settings>manage applications>HTC sense>Clear data. You will have to put your shortcuts and widgets back on your screens, but the missing widgets will show up.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...and what if they don't?
I have less widgets now than I did before clearing the HTC Sense data. Not the first time I've seen this problem, either.
I found that clearing the davilk-cache seems to fix things.
I had to clear it twice. The first time brought my people widget back but made my calendar disappear. The second one brought them both back.
However, I'm not sure if restarting will cause the problem again.
I've just rooted my galaxy, and know how to remove some of the factory apps. however, I have two shortcuts in the application page, that's actually url shortcuts. how do I go about removing it because when I go over to /system/app I don't see any of the url shortcuts.
thanks!
+1 would like to know that too...
for app organizing i've found some apps. the one I use automatically organizes my downloads, but i would like an organizer for my widgets. for exemple an app has 3-4 widgets, and if there is an organizer to show the app and then the widgets it has I would like to have it!
no need, sort alphabetically
widget i arrange them the way i like it, and resize it the way i see fit on the screen
let see if I can explain I press menu->add->widget and here i see all the widgets alphabetically. I ask if there is an app that creates a folder with all the widgets for the same app.
CM7 roms does this.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
AppWidgetPicker does exactly what you want but you need to be rooted to be able to push it to /system/app
it's a great find
however, i'm afraid that might slow down the system even more when trying to bring up the list of widgets available
i have waaaaaaaaay too many apps installed, everytime i try to add a widget it takes a loooong while to come back with the full list, as it needs to scan an populate the widget pick list
so if i add such an app, it will just add even more complexity to the pick list
scan, then filter, then populate, then group
.... not really in the mood of waiting 2 minute for the widget list to show up
Hi, I am looking for a way to automatically freeze/defrost/launch an application but from the app drawer.
Titanium backup has a widget that performs exactly this way except that being a widget, it cannot be run from the app drawer.
I do not use items on the homescreen (aside from the dock), nor do I wish to. Currently using Apex lanucher.
So, the main questions are:
Is there a way to use widgets in the app drawer?
Is there a way to perform the function of Titanium Backup freeze/defrost/launch without a widget, yet more automated.
Is there a way to 'intercept' between the app icon and the launching process to auto freeze/defrost the app?
Have been searching for an answer to this for a long time. Ideally if this could be done with full automation, ie when you install a new app it automatically gets a freeze/defrost icon/link/widget/etc without having to set it up.
Any help, info, thoughts, would help immensely.
A bit of a bump as I'd be interested in this too.
There is likely a custom launcher that allows widgets in folders or the app drawer, no?
I have a sort of solution for you that sort of works (hear me out)
I guess you don'tl like the clutter that comes with homescreen widgets (me too)
Heres what i did: use nova launcher, and have multiple docks (swipe to change). You CAN place widgets (1x1 certainly) in the dock, and then just hide it away by swiping to a differnt dock.
I must admit it doesnt work amazingly well when you press it, and takes some time to work sometimes, but its kind of a work around.
I use this solution currently for my Wifi High Performance Widget (1x1), which doesnt need to be touched so its in the dock
Hope this helps
I want to pin an app window to the home screen, like a widget, except that it is a live app.
I need this because there are so many applications which do not have any widgets. Instead of opening an app(which I forget most of the time) I would like to have them pinned as a widget which I can easily view while scrolling through the home screens.
There any many Xposed modules, which allow any app to be viewed as a floating window, but don't know how to make widgets out of them.
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks!
i have the same idea from the past a few months since the launch of google go app but i dont know how to do that
i searched all over the internet but i didnt find anything
it will be very useful for the small and mini apps like lite version
hope any developer will refer for our post
