Motorola Droid 2 :: Create Shortcut To Settings Submenu On Global?
Nov 18, 2010
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.

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 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?

Forgive a noob for what may be a silly question but I did a search and came up empty. Is there a way to create a shortcut that when pressed automagically starts an email to a predetermined person? I have shortcuts to specific phone numbers for calls and txts. But can I do the same for emails?

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 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 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.

Is there anyway I can embed my application's settings to global settings screen (resides in launcher as Settings) without modifying the Android Settings application.

Is there a way to have an global settings variable for an android application, which is accessable as well from any help java classes without giving them context?
I try to explain what I mean.
I have an application version as string value in strings.xml I can get its value from every android activity, but not from help java classes withought giving context What I do now, is saving it in a static variable of my first activity, but it seems, that sometimes it will be erased and set to null.

I currently have an app that has many activities and needs to have a way of maintaining state between these activities.
I use the Application class to do this, declaring my global variables and using getters and setters to interact with my activities.
I was hoping to place a few custom methods in there, so that when I want to do a common task like, for instance, display an error message, I can declare the method in my application class and call it from any activity that uses it
EscarApplication application = (EscarApplication) this.getApplication();
EscarApplication being the name of my application class above.
I have tried to include this method in my application class:
CODE:.....
In the hope that I can call this method from activity without having to redeclare it, but when I call it using something like below I get an null pointer exception:
Visit.this.application.showError("Update error", "An error has occurred while trying to communicate with the server");
Visit being the name of my current activity above.
Should this work, or can I only use getters and setters to change global vars in an Application Class.
EDIT Stack Trace:
CODE:...............
The dialog is declared as such in the application class:AlertDialog alertDialog;
Created in that same class:alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
And the method to call it in that class is as follows:
CODE:.............
And finally, it is called from an activity like so:
CODE:........................

Is it just me or does the D2 Global run warm? I'm guessing that's due to faster processor?

Since the Droid 2 Global is coming out soon. I think a Droid X Global (w/ the 1.2GHz CPU) will be the real killer here. Anyone thinks so, too? BTW, I have a Droid X and my daughter have the D2 (R2D2). I like the DX compared to the D2 and my upgrade plan is to get a global Droid phone. Hopefully, a Droid X Global is in the works.

It looks like I am going to pull the trigger on a D2G assuming VZ will give me an early upgrade. I have not been able to get much info on the D2G yet so thought I would see if anyone could share their experience so far here. BTW - I am coming from a Storm2 so have high hopes. I will post my experience once I have the phone in a few days.

The Droid 2 alone wasn't all that impressive to me. But the Droid 2 global looks like it could be pretty sweet. I'm liking the 1.2 ghz processor inside. I don't know if Ill need the global capabilities but it seems like a pretty good upgrade from the standard Droid 2. Just curious what your guys thought is on this? Don't get me wrong I love my Droid Incredible but I'm wondering if the Droid 2 global will be a little snapping with the better processor.

Can anyone confirm whether the keyboard has been changed from the Droid 2 to Droid 2 Global? I had read that it has been changed but would like to know the specific differences. Hands on reports or pics would be ideal.

After much deliberation, hopefully next Friday I will be ordering the Droid 2 Global. This will be my first SmartPhone and Android device. For those who have the White model, does it stain easily? Would the hard clear case Verizon sells cause any friction on the painted surface, particularly the corners, to wear or chip?

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 it possible to somehow create a shortcut to a specific setting with JB either with tasker or some other app? I'd like to quickly be able to get to the setting where you can quickly enable/disable notifications for an app.

I'm trying to set up a shortcut to open the JB quick settings window (the one you get by swiping the corner of the status bar, or swiping with two fingers, depending on your preference), and I can't seem to find a command for it anywhere. Not in Tasker, not in the Activities list, and no widget in the Play store that opens it with a tap. Oddly, I can use the Nova Launcher "Nova Actions" menu to create an "expand quick settings" button, but it can only sit on the home screen, while I want to add a button to my quick launch. If I could just create a widget or shortcut that toggles that button it'd work fine, but I can't find the functionality anywhere.
I'm running CM10.1.

I have pdf document saved on my sd card. I want to create a shortcut to this document on one of my screens. I have created a shortcut using astro manager to this document on my homescreen, however when clicking the shortcut all it does is open the pdf viewer and list all the pdf documents.

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.

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?
