I've recently run into an issue with adding new application shortcuts.
When I use the add program shortcut feature, it displays the majority of my apps, with the exception of a few new ones I've added. And I'm noticing it shows a few applications I uninstalled through AppManager. Specifically, the Chapelle - Rick James sound board, and Penguin.
When I browse through AppManager both apps no longer show.
So my question would be is there any way to refresh the application shortcut menu? It seems to have gotten stuck.
I'm running ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 / liberated_aria_b005_signed.
So nobody out there is having problems creating new shortcuts except me?

I noticed this the other day and it happened again today on my 2 day old 8125.
Everything is going great, and then after some time some of my shortcuts in my start menu just up and vanish. For example, my calculator is no longer in the start menu. It's still in my windows folder, and I can still use the calculator, but my shortcut to it is missing. Therefor, to start the program I need to use the file explorer to navigate to the windows folder and launch it from there (or, of course, copy the file and create a new shortcut to bring it back to the start menu).
Same goes for about 7 other applications (about 1/3) of what I have installed. They're on my device (and some on the SD card), but their shortcuts from the start menu have simply vanished. Any ideas?
This has happened to me as well. Cant find Pocket IE or Calculator! :?
Maybe we can figure out why this is happening. It's probably a third party app bug or something.
I don't remember about the first time it happened, but the 2nd time it happened I noticed some (not all) of the links in my "app" section of iLauncher were missing. Those missing from iLauncher were also missing in my start menu. The other programs in the different tabs in iLauncher were fine. I only had this problem with 1 section of iLauncher which makes me think iLauncher may have caused this issue. Do you have iLauncher installed?
total noob
Hi Guitarlp,
Sorr to be such a noob but how can i find out if i have ILauncher installed?
You don't then. It's a 3rd part app from SBSH.
Does anyone know of a way to create a shortcut to the list of recent programs that is generated in the start menu? I know that the apps reside here:
Code:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Shell/TashSwitch->#
Now, there are 5 different entries for the five recent programs. I believe 5 is the limit . Anyway, WM does the work of tracking the recent programs used. However, I would like to create dynamic shortcuts that look up the apps in the top three spots. Basically, I would use these shortcuts with HTC Home in the launcher. It would then function much lilke Mobile Shell's launcher.
Any ideas???
Is there a way to create a folder/s in the menu and put the applications on it ?
I want to put all of my games (icons) into 1 folder called games.
And some applications into another folder.
Im using CM7 btw..
Thanks.
There are a few apps that allow you to put apps into folders - normally for the homescreen, but actually having folders, a-la windows 6.5, i havent seen im afraid.
Yea, the folderes r not in the home screen.
In the menu, when window button pressed, there is Setup Group option, but when i choose it, it says "You can not setup this group"
Thanks for ur answer btw kinsago
You have to create a new group, then set it up. You can't edit the original group. After you make the new group you can exclude apps though. I still wish there was a way to put folders in the app drawer though, it's a mess with a ton of apps all just thrown in there alphabetically.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exactly.
So no way to do this at all ?..
You can make a new group/catalog (let's call it "Games") using menu at app drawer. Then scroll right - you'll see empty screen. Now you can setup this group - by choosing which applications (games) should be visible on it. This way you've got main screen with all aplications, but by scrolling horizontal you can choose another groups with chosen apps (Games, Office and so on)
I also do not know any way to create folders at main App drawer screen
Yea, i got it.
The problem is the app icon not moved to the group, still in the main App drawer, just like copying instead of cut.
I installed Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3 from stock rom. On the stock rom I was able to create a desktop shortcut to any contact, which would take me directly to the contact screen. In Cyanogen I try to create the same shortcut, but I can only get a "quick contact" version, meaning it acts like a widget by giving me options of call/contact/text/map. All I want is the old shortcut that takes me directly to the full screen contact when I click on the shortcut. Does anyone know if this is possible to do?
I looked at the source of ADW, and it seems like shortcut items are entries in ADW's database, so modifying files like you would on Windows seems out of the question.
Ok, i found only one app that can get the job done easily, after trying a few other popular shortcut apps. It's called xShortcut, and there were some bugs with it and cyanogen mod, but the developer was able to fix them after my feedback. As of this posting the market still has the old buggy version but I expect him to update the market soon.
After a routine and uneventful upgrade to W10 Home from 8.1, and with no issues or problems encountered (so far), I can't understand why the Startup tab in Task Manager will not show anything. I still have all the programs that I had in 8.1 and I have installed a few new things since the upgrade, but Startup tab only has a greyed out "there are no startup items to display".
Anybody else seeing this???
Well.......if just a few of you reading this post (67 now), would kindly look at your startup tab in Task Manager and tell me whether yours is also empty or whether it is populated normally w/ programs that are going to run at startup, I would appreciate it. That's why I ask the question.......thanks.
Mine is not empty and after the upgrade the startup programs remains as in 8.1..
Can't you even add a shortcut to startup folder (C:\Users\[YOUR_USER_NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) ?
You can add apps by scrolling on the ones you want to add in the program list (after hitting the start menu) and right clicking on them and selecting "pin to start menu." Once they are in the start menu you can drag them wherever you want by holding down on the left button of your mouse. You can asleep resize them by right clicking on your mouse and selecting resize. Your frequently used apps will populate as you go and those too are movable. Hope that helps you.
