View 2 RepliesI currently have Hand cent installed, and would like to use it as my shortcut instead of the android default of Messaging. That said, I'd like to continue to use the Messaging icon, AND the wording Messaging for the icon. Can these be changed? Rename the shortcut, and change the icon of the shortcut?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm now using the 1.6 OEM thanks to the users in this community! But only for another few weeks before I ditch this phone. I'm planning on sticking with TWiz, and since I've never actually used it, I'm curious if anyone can help with some tips. 1. The icon shortcut layout is annoying. I don't like how they won't snap to a grid, and can overlap and be all over the place. Is there a way to change this? 2. That silly Quick List? Is that just another useless app window with recently used apps, or can it be edited to list apps I want in there? I'm not looking for home replacement apps because I've tried them all, and I'm just looking to get by for the next few weeks.

With a home screen widget I'm trying to layout. Basically, I'm trying to layout my widget so it matched a standard home screen application shortcut perfectly. Basically, at this point, I'm about ~2px off. Has anyone got this to match up just right? Should I be able to find this layout in the source somewhere? Here's my layout thus far:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've found some other threads discussing the fact that the default shortcut for Facebook is actually just a shortcut to a browser bookmark for Facebook. If you delete this shortcut, you can re-create it, but it has a boring red flag icon. With a custom bookmark app, you could restore this original icon... but only if you know where to find it. Where is that icon stored? It has to be somewhere on the root of the phone. Using root explorer, I can't find it. I'm guessing it's stored inside of an archive somewhere. Any ways to search more thoroughly?

Or, can I find it somewhere in the original .tar file containing the flash update for the phone?

I just got my first Droid phone last night, went from a BB Tour to a Droid 2. So far it seems to be pretty nice, lil getting used to but over all I'm liking it. One thing that bugs me though is - I've downloaded Handcent (for texting) and Maildroid (for pop3 email) and have added both to my home screen. So far so good. what I can't figure out though is how in the world do I change the shortcut name? Right now they are labeled Handcent and Maildroid - I'd like to rename them to Messaging and Mail respectively. Can someone point out what I need to do to rename these? I'm sure I'm overlooking it somewhere.

I have installed Hand cent for handling my SMS Instructions advise turning off default, but cant see how on the Desire? I am quite disappointed with the phone so far as it has too many niggles, the biggest being not able to auto answer calls, which makes it useless with my �200 Parott hands free. Any ideas how to disable or turn off default message handler?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a problem getting the mail application for Exchange to work. I read through several threads and got to install Touchdown. Strange thing is that this app works fine and the mails from the Exchange server are sent perfectly to the HTC Desire. What is even more strange is that a colleague of mine has exactly the same Desire and is on the same Exchange server as I am and for him, the Mail application for Exchange works perfectly. I really want to use the standard mail application. I saw there is an option in Touchdown 'Fetch and trust certificate' which is not available in Mail for Exchange. I already tried to logon to the webmail via a browser but this did not seem to help.
