Motorola Droid :: Helix Launcher2 Advanced Shortcuts
May 8, 2010
I apologize if this is posted somewhere else, I looked for a while and couldn't find anything related. I want to know how to use the advanced shortcut option in HelixLauncher2. Basically I would like to have the generic phone icon on my dock but instead of taking me to the Dialer I would like it to take me to my Call Log. I would also like to use the standard Contacts icon on my dock but would like it to always take me to my Favorites Contacts instead of All Contacts. Does anyone know how to set this up in the Advanced Shortcuts in HelixLauncher or know a different way to do it? Also if anyone knows if there is an easy way to use a different Icon for each of those?

HelixLauncher2 in the market says it requires 2.1-update1 that is on the N1. Does HL2 work on the Droid now? Does version 1 work on the updated Droid?I really, really need more than 3 home screens, and want to try Helix to get them.

I'm having some serious indecision. I have a Moto Droid running 2.1. I have DxTop installed and love it However, I find that screens space is becoming a little cramped, and the expanding it to a 5 screen set up basically gets rid of the functionality that attracted me to DxTop in the first place (the quick navigation diamond shaped desk top set up).Yesterday I decided to test drive HelixLauncher2. I found the program to give me much of the functionality I had lost with DxTop, as my widget use increased. Instead of 5 screen ins a cross set up, now I have 7 screens side by side, but with a quick jump that allows me to go from one to any other in one move. Right off the bat I was able to organize my widgets and shortcuts in a way that made more sense. The program also added the really cool 2.1 app drawer from the Nexus 1, which I enjoy. The downside is that screen rotation doesn't seem as responsive as in DxTop (it works but has lag), the App drawer cannot be organized by categories (it's only alphabetical), and the program (though smaller an leaner) is not perfectly stable (It has already closed on me once, but when it crashes it just reverts back to itself).So my question is, should I stay with DxTop which is no longer as functional as I would like, but is far more stable and responsive, and allows me to organize my app drawer by categories; or should I go with HelixLauncher2, which is much more configurable, is easy to navigate, demands less of my system, but is also not as stable, lags a little, and does not allow me to organize my apps in the drawer.What I wouldn't give for a snappy and stable version of HelixLauncher2 with an option to organize the app drawer.

Can someone explain the diiference in these two apps. It looks to me that the App Killer is included in the Advanced Task Cleaner.

Been reading about this for the Nexus and it looks like some are having luck using it on the Droid. Going to play with it later...

helix launcher 2 now works on android 2.1. Do not buy clockworkmod launcher. The link is Donators' Repo Home.
Step 1:EDIT EDIT EDIT Click the download link and rename .php to .apk.
Step 2 Download the beta on your phone.
Step 3: Go into astro and find the download in your downloads file. Step 4: install and whalah.
It wont let you install it directly from the downloads page for some reason. Dont set as default your first time incase of FC loop.

I have helix launcher(the first one) and I wanted to get 5 screens instead of three so I went to configure it and took off all my widgets like it told me to do. It restarted and I got a FC notification. It's set as my primary home and I can't get the message to stop popping up. I tried restrting my phone several times but before I can press the home button or any button the message pops up again and there is nothing I can do. Is there anything I can do to get past this FC notification?

Last week I installed Helix, because I wanted more home screens. Got that, and I also like the extra buttons across the bottom, very nice. the phone is laggy when I use Helix. I can switch back to the standard Launcher, and no lag, so it is helix. Is there some settings I can play with to help with the lag? is there another launcher I can try that has 5 screens (or more) and less lag?

[ROM] Simply Stunning v2.2 ESE53 2.1 - (3/25/2010) - Helix Launchers 2D/3D - New Kernels
[Release] [UPDATE] New Kernels - Low Voltage + Medium Voltage - 3/25/2010
Downloading now. Will flash without wiping, but I will install one of the new low voltage kernels.
I'm loving 2.0.2, so hopefully this will be just as good. Good to see HelixLauncher 2.

The Sampling Rate, Threshold, etc. What do they mean and what are some optimal settings? I have mine untouched from whatever was stock with the app. Just curious if these settings were worth messing with unless you were advanced user, much like the settings themselves.

I'm running into an issue here, whenever i try to do an Advanced Nandroid Restore, it goes through the process and says "done". Then I go to reboot system now, and it repeatedly shows the Motorola Logo and that's it. What am I doing wrong here?

Has anyone else noticed that the task killer doesn't seem to kill the tasks? I mean it does and it says that it freed up x memory, but when I open ATK again all my programs are shown to be open.
Also, when I open my browser, for example it restores the old page I was on. In the past I used ATK to kill it and when I opened it next time my home page would work. How can I go back to that?

I like to keep several direct dial and direct message shortcuts on my home screen, but after installing a new ROM (in this case BB 0.8), the shortcuts are gone. It's not the biggest deal, but if I could find a way to preserve them for easy restoration when I update, that'd be great.

I came from a BB and I had all the important shortcut keys memorized so that I could open them instantly. Is there a way to do this with the Droid? I don't like having to do two key combos or having to switch to the home screen and/or app screen. Plus, I don't like to have a lot of clutter on my home screen.Naturally, this would only work whilst using the physical keyboard but hen I'm browsing the web or talking on gtalk, I might think of something and want to quickly bring up a notepad app to write down some notes.I know that it's nit-picking, but I like to be quick and efficient with my phone. In all other respects/departments, this phone ROX!

Iv'e had nothing but weird problems since day one of my DroidX. I just received a DX hoping it was Hardware issue's (even though I was convinced it was software related). Everyone kept telling me it was because I rooted my droid, but I disagree.
Come to find out it was Advanced Task Killer causing my problems. I had it set to "Auto Kill" and set the level to "Crazy" and set it to "When Screen Turns Off".
It was killing my alarms, Killing Txt, VM, missed call Notifications, and restarting my phone because it was killing an important process....
IDK if anyone has already posted something about this (I didnt see anything) so I figured i'd throw it out there. Im still currently using ATK but the Auto Kill is turned off. Sending New DX back to Verizon.

I have home, home++, and GDE. In all three when I am trying to place a deleted shortcut in it does not even show up. For example in home++ I deleted camera thinking i wouldn't need it. Now i need it for screenshots how do I get that icon back on? Sorry for making a whole thread for this.

Currently using Launcher Pro. I have two separate email accounts with my ISP, Bresnan. With all my previous android phones I've been able to set up desktop shortcuts to each account so they can be checked separately. With the X, I cannot seem to do this. The email shortcut does not allow me to specify an account, and just shows the default account. I'd really like to continue to use my old system of two account shortcuts.

I tried to place my shortcuts on 2.2 but I was having a major problem placing them on the bottom row. Without the thing turning into a trash can, almost every time I tried to place one there, it would vanish. I literally had to have it 2 pixels under the above row or it wouldn't take. Does anyone else have this problem with 2.2 roms?

Just wondering if any one else has tried this out yet? I've been using for a couple of days now and its kinda cool. Its kinda like a combo of some sense stuff and home stuff. Just curious if anyone has seen any problems with it that may have been running it for a while.

So every time you guys are flashing different roms and stuff, are you starting from scratch downloading all your apps and configuring widgets and your home screens and all that stuff?I'd like to play around with different builds but the thought of setting everything back up, potentially multiple times, is daunting. Are you using something to backup/restore this stuff?

Possible to lock down shortcuts on the 3 home pages? I seem to always loose them or move them or delete them by accident with my fingers while navigating around.

Running Droid 2.1 stock with Dolphin HD.This is a new problem as I never had it before with Dolphin. Just changed to Dolphin HD.When I try to make a bookmark shortcut to the desktop, the bookmarks it shows me are from Browser, not Dolphin. In Dolphin HD, I see all my bookmarks, but they are not choices for screen shortcuts.

I found a way to get a Direct Dial shortcut using the free app Folder Organizer Lite. Long press the homescreen (or setup in Launcher Pro Dock) and select Shortcut, Folder Organizer Item, Direct Call, choose from your contact list. For the Direct Text using Folder Organizer Lite again. Long press the homescreen (or setup in Launcher Pro Dock) and select Shortcut, Folder Organizer Item, Direct Text, choose from your contact list.

Here is what I noticed; try to make a shortcut for your contacts. In my contacts list, all is fine, it shows picture of contact, the right one. But after creating shortcut, picture shows either "no picture".
