Android :: Create Dock Shortcut That Launches Menu Of Apps
Sep 11, 2010
Seems like there ought to be a simple solution to this, but can't figure out how to do it.I'm using Launcher Pro Plus on a rooted Captivate. I want to create a dock shortcut that takes me to a menu populated with different apps to choose from (for instance a games menu). I know how to create a widget that will do this with Tasker, and I suspect that LP's shortcut maker will do it, but I've yet to find a good tutorial on how to use it if you're not already a dev.

i'm torn between two worlds the world without HTC sense where you can have a shortcut dock on the homescreen as provided by LauncherPro, and the world with HTC sense where more homescreen widgets work.So, the question is - can you get a dock like the one offered by LauncherPro and keep Sense, or, can you get more widgets to work with LauncherPro. Widgets like the agenda calendar where your facebook contacts and any other events show up in a list?

There are two apps I used to have installed that I cannot find for the life of me. is a widget/sliding tray/multi app launcher - I believe it was 4x1 but could hold more than 4 apps.The other was a bottom dock that also slid but was not part of a complete home replacement app, just a stand alone dock to launch multiple apps.

Is there a way to listen for application launches?I'm trying to develop an application where the user can specify a list of applications that he/she wants to "protect." If they are in this list, then whenever the application is launched, my app will ask them to enter a password.However, I've been going through the Android SDK for days and can't figure out how to listen for application launches.

When you long press a blank part of the screen, you get the "Add to Home Screen" options. Does anyone know what this process is called on the X? I am trying to link to it from the custom dock I made for Launcher Pro. Here is the dock background I'm using if anyone wants to use it.

I need to create desktop shortcut for content managed by my app. I've found the way to do it using ACTION_CREATE_SHORTCUT But I need the way to implement it without using "Create shortcut" menu. It would be great if user could select "create shourtcut" from item's context menu inside my activity and it will be automatically placed on desktop.

If you press the Menu button when the phone is in the Motorola Car Dock, a 'Dock Settings' menu pops up leading to an 'Audio' menu. However, the Audio menu doesn't seem to respond or alter anything.Any ideas what this menu is for, or what it's supposed to access? I've tried it with the headphone jack plugged into the car audio, with Bluetooth connected, with music playing, on a phone call, etc. etc. etc., and nothing else comes up.

Instead of installing another program I would rather just use Astro's process manager, it works plenty well for what I want now.I know you can use Anycut to rename and create shortcuts to most things, but is there a way to create a shortcut to a function within a program? If not with Anycut, maybe a different program?

If you press and hold the 'home' button for a second or two it brings up a list of your most used (I think) apps.

I am trying to customize my dock so I removed all the stock dock icons by choosing the "blank" shortcut. Now when I add a custom icon it won't perform the function because I designated it blank. How do I add the actual function along with the custom icon?

Is there a way on the HTC Hero to create a shortcut (icon?) that will launch an app that sends a pre-defined string (10 char) to 46645 (Google) via SMS? I do this sometimes multiple times a day and it sure would be handy to be able to do it via a single click to a shortcut.

Is there a way to create a shortcut to a specific setting? For example, can I create an icon on my home screen that, when tapped, will take me straight to the Screen timeout settings screen or the Wi-Fi settings screen?

I have a bunch of email accounts setup on my Droid. Draging down the notification panel or clicking menu then notifications gets tiresome after a while. I would like to create a shortcut for the notification panel, that I can place on my home screen. Anyone know how I can do that?

When I had Android 2.3.3 I could create system shortcuts to various software functions, not just apps. I could one-touch navigate to various settings in Device Settings, I could do other things, in particular navigate to Wireless Networks quickly to choose network fast.
With Android 4.2, I can't do that it seems and I am left with upper drop-down menu. Any way around that to make my access to Wireless Networks settings faster? Even, better it would be to have access to various system settings as described above.

I have work, yahoo and g mail set up on my phone. I can access G mail via the G mail label (on home screen) and my work email via the email app (also pinned on the home screen) in the app draw. I can't access my Yahoo mail unless I receive a notification. How do I create access or create shortcut to yahoo mail?

I know you can create shortcuts to the main Settings menus (battery use, bluetooth settings, etc.) by just long-pressing the screen -> Shortcuts, but I need to create a shortcut to a submenu (specifically Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode) This is on a Droid 2 Global. Anyone know how I can do this? I have LauncherPro and I know you can make shortcuts with it but programming those shortcuts seems pretty complicated. Also I know you can make additional shortcuts using the LauncherPro "Activities" menu but I can't find the "Network Mode" settings in that list either.

I have a zillion labels. Only way to manage the old digital life Any who, it's a PITA going into GMail and scrolling through the astronomical list of labels to see what's in there. Needless to say, some labels are, to me, more important than others. With that in mind, what I'd like to know is how I can create a shortcut on the desktop that will go directly to a specific label in GMail. It's gotta be possible.

I've looked all over the web for this. On my S3 - running JellyBean, I'd like a home screen shortcut directly to the phone's "Favorites" or "Recent" list. There doesn't seem to be any way to do this. Old posts refer to a 'create shortcuts item on the home page menu, but all I have is "add shortcuts and widgets", and there are preciously few of these supplied that are phone related.

I'm hoping for some pointers. I simply want two buttons.. nothing more, to allow me to control my music.I know, I know. "Why not just use the music widget?" Cause it's ugly (in my opinion).With Bettercut, I'm aware that you can create your own shortcut, but you have to have the source code or some sort of.androidaction.blah in order to create it. I'm just curious if I could use that or if there's something out there that's better.I don't need to know the artist or the song that's playing, I just, well, I miss the days of double clicking my home button and hitting next or stop with my iPhone. That's what it boils down to. So, if there's a way to get the music controls on the lock screen... well, that would even be better.Anyone have some suggestions? I have searched and searched for some sort of resolution, but it's been to no avail. Or, I could have just been searching for the wrong thing.
