HTC Droid Eris :: Calendar Application Shortcut
May 17, 2010
I keep a shortcut to the Calendar on my home screen. With 1.5 I was always annoyed that the shortcut had a 28 (or somesuch) date on it. I really wanted it to be dynamic so the shortcut always had the correct date. On Sunday when I got my 2.1 upgrade, I was so happy to see that the calendar shortcut had the correct date, the 15th. I was bummed to find out that it was a concidence. The correct date was only displayed because it happend to be be the 15th. Today, on the 17th, it still says 15 on my shortcut.

So the large calendar widget that I placed on my home screen used to show dark little tabs in the corner of everyday that I had an event. While I was looking through it, all of the little tabs disappeared and I have no idea what days I have events unless I go into the actual calendar app. Is there any way to keep them there permanently?

Well, because no one has any idea how to change from the phone symbol to the index card symbol on the large "people" icons I found another way to do what I want.
I still can't believe nobody knows how to fix that problem but oh well.
Anyway, I found that you can add a people shortcut which adds a small face icon and made my own people page.
It works great. When you tap it it brings up all of the persons info and allows you to choose what action you want.
Just like the large default people icons *IF* you could change to the index card symbol.
Now, the ONLY problem is, I can't get the persons picture to show up on the main page instead of the silhouette pic.
I am synced with google so all my contacts have pics and they DO show up in the info when you tap on the icon but NOT on the main page icon.
I just want to add the pic to the home page icon, any ideas how to to do it ?

I made all the appointments in my Calendar for MY CALENDAR but now on my GMAIL CALENDAR nothing is there, but they are both color coded blue so why don't they sync together?

How do you add a web shortcut to your home screen? I want to add the "touch site" version of Facebook, but I don't know how.

I use the Dolphin Browser and am wondering how to add a shortcut to a website on to the home screen or even if there is any way to do that.

I haven't been able to find an app/widget to add a shortcut to manually sync the calendar for a specific account, or in any case, to take me to the 'Accounts and sync settings'->'Account sync' screen.
The reason is I don't want auto-sync enabled all the time. I tried using Anycut to create a shrotcut, but it kept crashing.

when you create a shortcut for someone on the home screen is there anyway to change the size? I created a direct message shortcut.

Does anyone knowa way to set up a shortcut or widget to go directly to search all people. This phone is too slow to open people and then also wait for the search window to open. Lately I have just been searching contacts through the dialer since it is faster.

Is there a widget for switching HTC Sense "scenes"? Or a "shortcut"? Seems like that would be a simple one to implement. My idea would be a 1x1 shortcut I could put on my home screen to switch to my "work" scene. Then in the work scene I would put one to take me back to my "home" scene.

I've seen more than a few users in the OTA section commenting on the new Navigation Shortcut for Google Maps. This is NOT part of the OTA, per se, but is due to a Google Maps for Mobile update that coincidentally debuted today.
This is from the Official Google Mobile Blog:

Can anyone explain me the difference between shortcut and app. In home screen, I can add app or shortcut, app can be found in app list. Shortcut should link to app, is it right? if yes, where are they?

While playing with my phone the other day I realised a way of adding application shortcuts a faster way to the home screen then holding a blank space, choosing shortcuts, applications then selecting. Open your apps list and just tap and hold an app, it then pops to the homescreen so you can add the shortcut. Found this much quicker than waiting for the apps list to load everytime.

When you click the app drawer it pulls up all the apps installed in abc order. What I want is a shortcut on my desk top to do the same thing. Just an icon on the desktop that once click will open all my apps. Its needs to be a shortcut and not a widget as I'd like to be able to change the icon when i want.(As far as I know you can not change the icon on a widget)

I tried Button Shortcut to remap the search soft key for use with VLingo, and no dice. I got the option to set VLingo as my default on that long press once, and I did, but it just goes to the standard Google Voice search still. No option offered anymore at all. Tried clearing Voice Search "defaults" under application settings and still nothing.

I've been programming Android in Eclipse for about a year now and I have always launched my app by right clicking on my project name in the project explorer, followed by "run as", then "Android Application". There has to be a better way...
Is there a way to change this (three mouse clicks): "Right click on project" -> "run as" -> "Android Application"
To this (one hotkey press): <My favorite hotkey>
So I can just press one button to launch my app?

I don't like the stock calender for the Droid 2 and am wondering if anyone can recommend a good calender app. I have an iPod touch and I like the calender on there (bright, bubbly, and easier to see from the monthly view when you have an event on a specific day).

When you place a "Shortcut to a Person" on the Desktop, it says, for instance, "Call Christopher." However, because the name is long, it cuts out most of the name. Is there a way to get rid of the "Call" and only have the persons name?

I have had my Epic for 10 days now and have swapped it once for this problem. If I power off the phone to save battery life or change battery, when I power up again the app and contact shortcuts I had placed on the home/extended pages have disappeared (the widgets are still there). The apps and data are still there in the apps folder, but it is a pain having to pull my most commonly used ones back to the home pages each time I restart the phone. Sprint tech have remotely rebooted the phones and we have taken both phones back to factory settings several times but the problem always recurs. As I have now had 2 phones with the same problem I am presuming it is a software glitch. Sprint have been less than helpful to date, other than basic resets and changing the phone. Has anyone else had this issue?

I always had windows mobile devices in the past, and like you must know, the old good windows mobile no longer exist... Microsoft killed it.
So I switched to Android. I really like android, The way it works is pretty the same than windows mobile with file browser, files system(Not like the Iphone without any way to deal with a file at all), .APK install like the .CAB on WM...
One think that I loved on WM is how easy it was to make shortcut by yourself, even with parameters. As example, it was easy to create a shortcut to Coreplayer to play an HTTP stream when simply clicking on it.
Like: "coreplayer.exe my_teststreamDOTcom : portNumber"

In my android application, I create shortcuts by code to some activities within my application. I do this feature by using the broadcast:
intent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");sendBroadcast(intent);
And that's cool, that really work!
Now I would like to do something different: I have seen that some actions can "register" somewhere to be added in the Android menu, when you long press on the Home like this one:
http://www.androidtapp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/UltimateFaves-Add-Home-Screen-Shortcut.jpg
So my main question is the next one:
How is that possible to register for this menu. I guess there is some line to add in the manifest, but cannot see where to do that!
There is a secondary question: once i will have succeed doing that, may I add a different number of shortcuts in my menu ( imagine That I would like to do that for a multi-account twitter client, I would like to see a different for each twitter account in this list.) So the number of shortcut is programmaticaly computed.

I'm using AWD launcher now, but I would like to use the "contact list app" from Helix. I can't find the shortcut, anyone knows where it is? Also I noticed once that the xperia x10 as another player besides the "mediascape", but again, I can't find it anymore, so frustrating.

Does anyone know of any application that allows placing a shortcut on the home screen to a sequence of actions? That one shortcut would, for instance:
Set WiFi Off
Set the Car Mode app on
Set the Disable Car Screen app on
Toggle from 3G to 2G
or another macro shortcut could:
Turn the LockRinger app off
Switch to Silent mode
Turn WiFi on
I've been searching the app market but, so far, I haven't discovered anything offering that sort of handy functionality.

I'm using Android 2.3 with LauncherPro as launcher. I've added a shortcut to a contact on my desktop (longpress -> shortcut -> contacts then choosen a contact). When I click on the shortcut I got a popup with a list of application that can be used. Dial, Message, Mail and so on. Is there to customize this list (change the order of applications) ?

I'm developing an application that should add it's shortcut to home screen after installation and remove it after the application is being uninstalled. The application will be preinstalled on the end user device, but still should have an option for uninstall). The task looks very simple but I've faced lots of troubles implementing it. What I have done:
Add shortcut to the home screen using
com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT
on app first launch or on newt device
reboot.
MANUALY remove shortcut using
com.android.launcher.action.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT................

I just got the eris for fathers day. I have been trying to use the calendar. When I set up an event for the same day the eris will alert me and put a calendar in my status bar. But if I set up an event for the next day it will alert me but no calendar in the status bar. Why is this? What am I doing wrong?

Does anyone use the calendar widget that shows the next upcoming event? And if so, does yours seem to be off by a day or so? It'll say Todayevent) and then it'll have whatever I have for the next day, and not the current day.
