Guide to create GPSSetup2 shortcut on the homescreen. First you'll have to download and install the homescreen and launcher replacement LauncherPro (Attached, link at the bottom). Then, follow these steps.
1. Press the center key on the phone. You'll get two options on the screen: 'LauncherPro' and 'TwLauncher'. Select LauncherPro. Let LauncherPro load.
2. Now again press the center key and this time select TwLauncher.
3. After it loads, press and hold your finger on an empty spot on the screen.
4. In the list that pops out, select Shortcuts.
5. Then select Activities.
6. After a few seconds you'll get a long list of Applications. Scroll down to GPSSetup2. Touch GPSSetup2, it'll expand to show more options. From this expanded list, select the first option i.e GPSSetup2 (com.sec.android.app.GPSSetup2.GpsSetup).
7. That's it. You'll now have a shortcut to GpsSetup2 on the homescreen.
8. After this is done, simply go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and uninstall Launcher Pro if you don't want to use it.
9. If you do want to use it, press the center key, tick 'Use by default for this action', then press 'LauncherPro' (Much better than the Samsung Launcher and homescreen, except for the less colorful icons).
That's it. No need to enter that long code anymore to enter GPSSetup2 everytime..
10x m8 this really helps
Wow this actually works! thanks a lot man. much appreciated!

You can add a GPSSetup2 shortcut to your homescreen. You'll need Launcher Pro installed. It's not necessary to use it as your launcher, but it needs to be installed to be able to get the Activities list in shortcuts that can be placed on the homescreen.
To do this, long press (on an empty area) on the homescreen, select Shortcuts, then Activities. After a few seconds you'll get a long list of Applications. Scroll down to GPSSetup2. Touch GPSSetup2, it'll expand to a list. From this list, select the first option i.e GPSSetup2 (com.sec.android.app.GPSSetup2.GpsSetup).
This will create a shortcut for GPSSetup2. No need to enter that long code anymore..
After you create the shortcut on the homescreen, you can uninstall Launcher Pro if you don't use it..

hi
added to rollup thread
when ever i do a search through the stock browser, i don't get a regular mobile google window. instead it looks like it's from the 90's. i have a screen shot to show what i mea. how can i fix it. also, can i set the setting some how that it always get the classic google instead of mobile? do you think it's related to the flash player software i have. i have the modified flash player for the hulu fix?
the link below is for the flash player apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9502517&postcount=3
just saw that this only happens if i search through the address bar. if i type the search in the search field on google.com, i get a normal looking result, meaning the desktop version.
this only happens if i search through either the address bar in browser or press the search shortcut from the home screen. same thing happens in dolphin as well.
does anyone else running Vegan Beta 3 have this issue?
I see this as well. It seems like the Google search app sends that it is a mobile device along with the search query so Google shows a page formatted for mobile phones. If somebody writes or has written an app that responds to Google search intents and this is set to the default system search handler, maybe it could provide a workaround. (I am running vegan-tab beta 4).
It may because whatever browser you're using has user-agent set to 'mobile'.
The newer default browser in TNT 3452, xscope, and dolphin all have settings to set that, but not sure about Vegan.
Jim
In the URL window in the browser.....http://www.xxxxxx.com.....type "about:debug".
Nothing will change.
Tap the "Menu" soft key
Tap "More"
Tap "Settings"
Scroll to the very bottom and tap "UAString"
Select "Desktop"
I don't think these settings survive a reboot
Is there a "long press" style option, using an app perhaps that replicates the Win7 accelerator right click option? A way to EASILY highlight a word(s) (besides menu + e etc) while browsing internet, and then search for the highlighted items?
I love the ability to highlight and then search, or map etc.
Haven't seen a solution for android phone or tabs.
Thanks so much

I'm sure there must be an app for that but for now for copy/paste I do it (while in the browser) by hitting Settings, More, Select Text and then drag my finger across the text I want to copy and then long press in textbox and select Paste. For searching I hit Settings, then Find on Page.
I thought I had read on the VEGAn thread that they got an external mouse to work (before they fixed the accelerometer which made it so you couldn't use the mouse). I wonder if the right mouse click did anything while it was working.
On my Droid 1 I can just long press to copy items in a text box but it apparently doesn't work on the viewsonic. Is there a way to copy on the stock browser or do I need to download Dolphin?
I am using the original google experience launcher
why sometimes there is a "+" sign and sometimes isn't?
when there is a "+" sign, i have an empty page on the right as the 5th page

It seems as though it's recommend you can add an additional home screen to the ones you already have. There has to be an action you're doing or something you're moving that it renders different results and expects you to make a decision. For example, perhaps you resize a widget, or move a widget, delete a few apps from your last homescreen - some sort of action and the phone is giving you the option to add more space.
Not sure why it would disappear though, not allowing you to add an additional. When the plus sign disappears, can you still add a home screen?
Just finished my latest app T9 Launcher, and it shaped up real well so I thought I'd share
Launch apps and contacts with predictive T9 dialing, much faster than your regular launcher and appdrawer.
It also learns your usage patterns thus giving you better results over time.
Check it out on the PlayStore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.dw.rocketlauncher
Google+ Beta group
https://plus.google.com/communities/115754804024192139851
Got feedback, comments or feature requests? I'd be happy to receive them!
Happy launching
Dag
Did anyone try it yet? Im curious to know if the learning curve is steep, or if you get the dialing right away!

Does this launcher support cyrillic app names?
Here's what I posted in the Play Store reviews for this launcher:
An option to disable the widget screen and activate the dialer by swiping to it instead of pressing home would be nice (Option to "Home" with "Dialer").
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe even an FAB to launch the dialer would be nice.
Just something that lets me launch it without a home button press.
I went from Smart Launcher to Z Launcher and then Z Launcher to this.
Great work so far.
Orientation changing is important, too. I hope you implement that soon.
It would be much better to make it not a classic launcher, but a standalone start menu, or even a homescreen widget. Will it be possible? I do not want to lose Google Now on the leftmost page.
PS. Why only three columns on apps screen? Are the grids adjustable?

Can you get give me examples for the T9 Letters? Then I dont think that would be a problem.
Etc
1:ABC (In cyrillic)

Thanks! I was thinking of a FAB, but wouldnt that just take up screen space? The home button is a nicer solution in my opinion In the next update I implemented gestures aswell (For swiping the dialpad up), you should try it out.
Im going to look into orientation switching!

Maybe I will make it a standalone in the future, now I am concentrated on ironing out the bugs in the launcher version!
I can make the grid adjustable Next update!

On my phone, even I fill the screen with widgets, it seems like there is enough space for a FAB.
But gesture support seems like a better solution.

I just uploaded a new version to the store, it should be available to you soon.
There will be custom grid column counts, gestures (Swipe up for dialler, down to hide/open notifications) and more

I finally got the update and tested it. It seems if I try to swipe up on that blank space under my widgets, it does not launch the dialer. I can, however, launch the dialer if I swipe in the widget area (as long as there isn't a scrollable widget there).
Well. I do like this launcher. It has rooms for improvement.
What I like.
1. Its fast.
2. The kind of launcher that I want.
3. Its beautiful. <-- This is important.
4. The app section and contact section. Really nice.
What I don't like
1. There's no setting to hide certain apps. <This does not mean Porn. It means Paypal and other banking apps.
2. I don't like pressing home button activate the dialer. I prefer to press home button just to go to home so I can see my widget. And no toggling either between Home and dialer. I prefer to use swipe up to call the dialer part. While I don't like this now, I may learn to like this.
4. Too little room for widgets, or home screen.
5. No shorcut dialling?
Suggestion:
1. Take a look at MiHome Launcher from Xiaomi, its my current launcher. Its a standard launcher with built in T9 app dialer. Swipe up from any screen to bring the dialler. No contact dialer like yours though. Seems like it was taken down from Play Store recently though. I use it because I like the launcher. Swipe up with two finger brings up the access to hidden apps (with password to access them as well).
2. If you want to keep 1 home screen, maybe make it scrollable? I have Gmail, calendar, Keep, and prayer time widget. I certainly would not like to go to those app just to see some current information.
3. Maybe the option of increasing the home screen?
4. The Home button situation. This is one of the core in your app. So, you got to polish the usage of this. I can also say, the user should learn to adapt to this new operation.
5. Maybe you can add dialing shortcut?
I guess lack of room for widget is weighting on me to use this launcher by default. If you look at my attachment, the wifi shorcut is something I use lots of times. I have four home screen, 1 for Keep, 1 for Gmail, 1 for calendar and prayer time and the main one, that includes my wife contact widget, and wifi shorcut.

Ah I see.. Does your device have physical buttons, not a nav bar?
I just found an error that adds padding to the bottom of the views (dialer, widgetscreen) to compensate for a navbar that doesnt exist. Ill try to fix that.

Thanks for the feedback, Ill try to adress your points in the coming version(s).
Hidden apps: On the todo list but not currently a priority. Two finger swipe up to show sounds like a good idea.
I have speed dialing a bit higher on the list (Long pressing a dialbutton for a chosen app/contact)
And I am thinking of ways to add more widget space.. Scrolling might be a solution to this. I am also thinking about vertical paging. I do not however want to add more screens to the left or right, I think that will clutter the experience. What do you think?
Home button situation: I think that the home button to open the dialpad ads to the speed of the launcher. The back button does what you describe. I know that its not like other launchers but I dont want it to be just another launcher
And I added a Home-toggle-preference to the Settings menu on another users request, your welcome to try it out.
I try to represent two end states with the buttons, so that a stressed user can button mash to get to what they want;
Home: End state is dialpad, Search
Back: End state is widgets, Start
And really, I appreciate your feedback. I hope you will stick around for a few versions to come I have set of the weekend to adress bugs and users concerns.

I vote for vertical pages. That is something new. I agree adding them horizontally is not a good idea. Scrolling down and up isn't intuitive for me. Bonus if you can make the vertical page a loop, like some Samsung phone, I really like the loop mechanism.
I don't have any concern other than widget space. And the learning part is really cool.

PS, you can find all T9 layouts in TouchPal.
---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------
PPS, the launcher must support at least two layouts simultaneously, e. g. English and Russian, the second layout must be selectable in options.
My suggestions:
- Allow hide apps in drawer
- Ability to add shortcuts to desktop.
- When contact has no avatar set, Android uses placeholder - white letter on color background for it. When adding such avatarless contacts to Google Now Launcher or Nova they use this placeholder, maybe you can also make contacts page to use it?
- Lock desktop option, so widgets can't be moved/deleted
- I would also like to suggest redesigning of window that appears when longpress on app... It looks too cluttered and not material at all. More like something from early ICS era
+1 for vertical scrolling of center screen!
So far it's very unique I'm curious what direction it will take.
Here is some features you can add to make your launcher even better :good:
-Disable swipe down from anywhere to toggle notification bar.(toggle only if i swype down the not bar)
-Show contacts only from gmail or phone.Now there are contacts from G+
-Home button goes to HOMe and not in the dialer.
-My phone is in usa language and the number are in 123-456-7890 format.So dialpad dont find them.
EDIT: I cant find my stock dialer app in the app tab!
EDIT2: I added a widget clock( i have samsung with stock kitkat rom) and i cant delete it.When i press it, the screen for widget and wallpaper appears.

Oh, yeah. I have my nav bar disabled. When I enable it, the launcher looks fine.
I found a bug that will probably confuse a lot of users.
If you go to the Applications tab and press the home button, the dialer pops up. Press home again and it'll switch to the Home tab, but with the dialer still open (and the same application list as the Applications tab has). Pressing home a third time hides the dialer finally ("Home button toggles dialpad" is on).
There is no difference between the Home tab and Applications tab when the dialer is open.
Swiping up and down gets awkward, too, because it also scrolls widgets and the application drawer.
I think, if you still want to use home button to launch the dialer, it should switch to the Applications tab and then launch the dialer. Also, having the dialer open automatically when swiping to the Applications tab would be nice. As well as removing and reorganizing tabs (I want to remove the Home tab, since I don't use widgets).
Here's a video of the home button action bug.
http://1drv.ms/14J1FAa
Also, it seems that the scroll up and ripple animation lags when the dialer is called up on the Home tab, but not when it's called up in the Applications tab (Probably because it doesn't need to scroll up before rippling there). Just one more reason to switch the Home button behavior to launch the dialer in the Applications tab instead of the Home tab.
Sorry if this post seems like it's all over the place, I'm just exited about this launcher. It's so close to becoming perfect.
