Share Menu Customisation Help - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDA and S6 Users
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to customise the share menu, I cant find any options that control this, and google didn't return anything useful.
This is the menu that appears when you click 'share' and it returns a list of various app options to choose from to send/share your document files, your images, your music files etc.
Ideally I'd like to remove some of the share options that appear and where possible reorder those that remain as I've now got 5 pages of different share option apps listed.
Can anyone help ?

Shortcut to Settings (from Start Menu)

Hey anybody know how i can create shortcut to open Settings like pressing Start -> Settings?.
I tried \Windows\ctlpnl.exe \Windows\cplmain.cpl with parameters, but it opens exactly one control panel aplet like "Remove Programs" etc.)
I'm looking to do the same thing and haven't found any way to do it yet.
Hi,
I put this one up. I am looking for the same thing.
We can find informations about creating links to control panel's applets, but i was not able to find how to create a link to the main "Settings" panel.

keyboard/softkey shortcuts?

I've been searching for awhile on this forum, but I still can't find a way to create a shortcut that takes you DIRECTLY to a new text message or new calendar item.
Since I have my calendar on the homescreen, the only reason I actually go into the calendar app is to create stuff - why not just have the shortcut directly to it?
This seems like it would be relatively easy to do, but any ideas on this or something like it would be greatly appreciated Ideally, I'd like to set my 2 homescreen softkeys to those for one-touch access.....
thanks in advance

you can use the attached file for sms sending. it's a standart eten's utility. place it anywhere and make a shortcut to it)

Customising Start Icons

Hi all, Im sorry if this has been covered before but ive been looking for an app that allows me to move,delete,place in folder icons that are in the start menu (The one that comes up when you press the start button on the phone). I have apps that are all over the place and would like to reorganize them if possible.
hello.
I just reach to this aplication on the HD2 that could work for us too.
as I am new I can not put the whole link sorry

Looks like a great program but its not what im looking for....i want a program that allows me to rearrange my programs shortcuts under the start menu and the app provided only allows me to change the icons of the apps..thanx thou
Still looking for an App to do the above please
Have you tried your file explorer to cut and paste the shortcuts to wherever you want. You can add folders and rename them to put apps of a specific type into too if you want.
Ive had a look previously and there is no one repository that the shortcuts live, and i`d image that windows would arrange them by name if could find them which doesnt give me the option i want..
What i want to do is say move the facebook app which is at the bottom of the list and put it about half way up under all the system shortcuts or in a custom folder. The only option the rom gives is "more to top" or "move to bottom".
I hope im making sense.
If you are using WM 6.1 or 6.5, the shortcuts are in \Windows\Start Menu.
Perhaps you are referring to the Manila/Sense program tab are you? If yes, then you should be able to add/remove these from one of the soft keys.
Perhaps you can give us a screenshot of the programs you are referring to....
Hi there sorry for the delay...ive attached the screenshot as per your request.....
So what im wanting to be able to do is re-arrange any icon in the menu so like games to where marketplace is for example
Is this possible?
Hi
I don't understanding something
Is simple drag and drop method not working for you?
Longpress icon until it popsup, drag there you want, release finger.
i cant drag and drop, i think this is a limitation on the rom which is v2.1. The only option i have is to move the icon to the top as shown in the screenshot. All i want to be able to do is move one shortcut to somewhere else in the same menu... aka in the order i want. Im sure someone would have asked this before and that there would be an App that would allow a user to customize this menu.

Try this.
Thanx heaps i1ll give a go now and report bk...much appreciated
What rom are you using? If its a 6.5 you can use the drag and drop method described earlier to rearrange start meu icons.
Otherwise they are in this location: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
To create specific folders to move shortcuts to, would look like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Media]
"Name"="Media"
"Group"=dword:00000001
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Media.png"
... where "Name" is the name of the folder, "Icon" is the picture that will represent the folder on the start menu, and "Group"=1 tells windows that this is a folder. Once you have created all the folders you want you can use your file explorer to drag and drop the shortcuts into whatever folder you want
Thanx so much "artukas613" that program was exactly what i was looking for.....worked a treat. Thank you to all who helped.

[Q] TP2 WM6.5 Today Screen Help

I have a Sprint TP2 with the SPrint WM6.5 ROM.
I am using the "Windows Default" Today Screen Items because HTC Sense is so slow and makes my phone screw up all the time now.
I like it, but I would like to modify which items are on the list. How can I do that?
I can change the items on the list, but once u select the Windows Default, you cannot select anything else. I like the default, but just want to add/remove some stuff.
Thanks in Advance!
Any ideas?
there should be a setting for start menu that allows you to change which programs appear in the pull down menu. i've been using the sense menus lately so i forget how to go back to tell you exactly where to find it but i know its somewhere. if i stumble upon it i'll let you know.

In stock rom there isnt that many options to check/choose from cuz its WM 6.5
To check what is available go to Settings -> Today -> items (tab)
(could be different in Sprint version)
Hope this helps
EDIT:
I hope we were on same page.. or not.. if you want to edit quick links then all you have to do is access pull down menu and on bottom right corner select delete then select all apps to remove them.. after you hit done then plus + sign should show up.. click on it and select app that you want in that place
If I go to the settings for Today, I can choose multiple items, but it looks bad. If I choose Windows Default on the menu, I cannot choose any other items. So I am looking for a way to customize whats in that Windows Default setting. I thought it would be a registry entry or something, but cannot find it.

as far as i know you wont be able to add any stuff same way as you were able to do it in WM 6.0.. Do some research on Spb shell. you may like that or check out Iphone Today Theme on xda-devs.
I have been looking but haven't found anything yet.
I just want to add some items that fit into the Windows Default Today screen item. They already have those slider buttons and I would like to add some new ones.
Try "Home Screen Customizer". I use it to add a contacts panel and a weather panel, but it can do more. You can install it through Windows Marketplace too. Oh, did I mention it's free ? Here's a direct link to the application site: http://homescreencustomizer.spaces.live.com or the link from Marketplace. Hope this is what you're looking for. Thanks.
Doesn't Show Missing Calls?
Hello,
I JUST upgraded to MR2 from verizon on my touch pro 2. My main concern is that it does not show the missed calls on the home screen anymore. I have to go to notifications to click on missed calls to see them.
When i was looking around i saw this thread:
ww.wmexperts.com/tags/touch-pro-2
(sorry i had to take the w out of www to be able to get the link above to post)
and it shows a picture of my phone, with the MR2 upgrade WITH the missed calls showing!
What am i doing wrong? How do i get my missed calls to show back up on the screen.
as a side note, it also shows calendar items, my phone also does not show calendar items. It seems to me that my first row of quick links is up too high (that is where the missing calls and calendar show up on the picture for MR2)
Hi, I just bought a stock Sprint Touch Pro 2 and I really want to find the option that I can disable the HTC sense.
I have tried to find the settings tab but actually my 'settings' is not the one I want. Following is the list of all options in this settings:
Personalize (wallpaper, etc)
Wireless Controls (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile networks, push mail)
Sound & Display
Data Services (options for ActiveSync, social networks, e-mail, etc)
Location (set location service options)
Security (encryption, phone lock and reset)
Application (remove programs, etc)
SD card & phone storage (view available storage)
Date & Time
Locale & text
Updates & feedback
Other (miscellaneous settings - none appear to be relevant)
About phone (battery status, device info)
So by which I can disable the HTC sense?
Thanks first.

Since you are using Win 6.5 and HTC sense is still on you will have to go by this path -
Go to setting > bottom right there is "Menu" written click that > will give you an option of " All Settings " select that > then find the icon name " Today " select that > it will take you to a screen where u will have two tabs on the bottom left - " Appearance" & "Items" here select " Items " > You will have a list of itmes the third one will be will be checked -"HTC Sense" - uncheck it > then click OK on the top right.
You will now have HTC sense disabled. If you want to re-enable just check it again and click OK !
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much for your reply, abhisahara
I have got it
Thanks again!

How to customize Google's "share" menu

Hi everyone!
Sometimes when I'm reading articles on my phone, I will send it to my email to reread later. However, for some reason the icon's on my share menu keep rearranging themselves and I have to scroll to find my email client.
Is there anyway to customize the menu so that the apps that I want to use are where I want them?
Thanks!
