Long press on home screen and make a short cut to the "phone" app. Then long press on that shortcut you just made and drag it to the desired position on the dock bar.

Thank you! I would have figured it out sooner or later, but I kept trying to do things that I could see easily happening in my pocket.

Physical camera button app

Is it possible to change which camera app the phone launches when u long press the camera button? I want to change it to something like camera 360.

Did you try clearing defaults in stock camera app? I think that might do the trick unless Camera 360 is not sending the right intent to the system. Try it and see if you get the prompt to make one of the apps default.

Try button shortcut from the market

urgent help needed phone dialer contacts and s memo icon vanisded

i messed up something after installing aplication sorter and now my phone icon , contact icon and rest are missing from home screen only application shortcut is there
can anyone help me

First off, if you go to applications, can you see your dialer/phone app, contacts etc. listed?
If not, when you receive a call or make a call from shortcut in browser etc, does that open the call window or fc?

thanks for your concern , but i did a factory reset and voila got it back thank you once again

Great, glad you got it back. I did have same issue (I think) when trying a 3rd party dialer, and the only resurrection was to factory restore, but it's a pretty extreme solution.

look in the settings of that app and see you can regain them or do a data factory reset. Look in Softkeys service and untick Run Service and Run service at Boot and reboot.

I had the same problem recently. If this method above won't work, just reflash your Rom and will appear normally. That's what I did.

Just a shot since I haven't ran any custom Roms yet but in the past long pressing the power button and in that menu expanded desktop used to add/remove the soft keys I think.

How to use camera on cm11 (noob friendly)

People have been posting in the cm11 forum's that the camera won't show up,so let me show you how to fix that.
There are two ways you can do this.
1st method,
As you can see there is no camera shortcut
So go into settings and click lock screen, then there will
Be a option called camera shortcut click it, now you can launch camera from your lock screen.
2nd method.
As you can see there is no camera icon,so go to settings and click interface, now click Quick settings panel.
Underneath Static tiles is tiles and layout,press this.
Now there are a bunch of squares, press the plus,now select camera. Now when you want to use the camera just swipe down on the left and press camera and you will see a little square that can move,now press it and you can take a picture.
And that's how you use camera!
Give thanks if I helped you
