[Q] Moving shortcuts and widgets - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think I've found a bug in the touchwiz launcher. When I long press a shortcut or widget and try to move it to a different location it always jumps back to where it was. Only way to move them is to go into edit mode. Anyone with the same issue?

That is correct. It appears that it is by design ... as much as I disagree with it.
Another problem however, I have not been able to find a way to move, add or delete the 4 default icons at the bottom most section. Anyone find a solution?

[Q] Adding Shortcuts on MIUI

I'm running the RoyalMIUI ROM on my phone. While moving my apps between screens, I manage to drop one of them on the launcher itself, deleting my google maps shortcut. My question is how do I get that back? The option to add a messaging shortcut is not present in the editing mode and since this is my first time trying out MIUI I am not that familiar with it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

[Q] Galaxy S3 Toolbar Widget - Configurable?

Hey everyone!
Does anyone know if the toolbar widget (the wifi/gps/etc toggle buttons in the dropdown menu) that comes with SGS3 stock rom is configurable?
I'd like to change which buttons are there, and the order of them, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the settings.
I tried searching for it in the forums and on google without success. Also, I'm hoping I'm posting in the right forum. If I'm not, feel free to move it.
Thanks!
It can't be customized via the stock interface. We'll have to wait for custom roms :/
It would be also nice to change the apps shown in the notification area when earphones are plugged in.

Open a widget from a widget

So I'm trying to open a widget from a widget, here's what I'm working with. For the Harmony icons, I want to be able to tap them and have them open up another window that shows all the activities that are on that hub, with a different icon for the current activity. I can't seem to find a way to open another widget from tapping on one of them, is it possible? I've also played with trying to set up a Tasker Scene, but it doesn't seem like I can change icons in there. Thoughts?

Help! Briefing Covers Home (AT&T S7 Edge)

I recently rooted my phone using Is in and had my own set of issues with that but am now unrooted to the best of my knowledge. However I am still running custom Rom from the root. Everything seems to work perfectly except for Samsung Pay which I tried to fix by flashing all new stock rom through Odin to no avail, but that isn't my problem. I noticed when moving apps around on my screen that the whole screen woukd go blank and I'd just be holding the app guessing where to put it. When trying to edit widgets there was no home screen, except for briefing, which hadn't been working. After turning briefing on and creating a new home page simply because I didn't want to deal with it and couldn't find help, I couldn't place any widgets due to the fact that they are on this phantom briefing home page already. When changing the grid for apps within the page settings, I can see the apps on the "briefing" page but that is the only way that I can see it all. If possible I'd like to wipe the widgets or something of the sort if there is no way to fix my pages. Please help me if you have any advice. I just want my phone working again.
I have imgur links for the screenshots but can't post them because this is my first post.
Are you using a custom launcher? If so, which one is it.
Resolved, sort of.

I am using the stock launcher, I have since fixed the issue through a factory reset and restore of apps. My advice to all S7 Edge rooters until the bug is truly fixed: after you get your phone rooted or unrooted, running custom rom, if you see that briefing is missing, create a new home page and move all of your apps one page to the right. Leave the original homepage, now on the left, blank and designate the one with apps as your main page by clicking the home icon. With the two home pages set up, go apply a theme. This should force the phone to locate all of the apps and "think" about them. For me this automatically placed briefing over the blank home page that is to the left. I hope that this helps anyone experiencing the same issue. Thank you for the reply and I'm glad to be a part of XDA

Icon Shortcuts cut off

Since Android 7 there is this function, when you press and hold an icon, app-related shortcuts will appear. But on my Mi A1 with Android 8.0 this shortcuts are cut off when the icon is located in the middle.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
Thanks a lot!
No problem here..are u using stock launcher? Maybe its a launcher bug...try using nova or any other..u can also try reducing the display size in display settings
The shortcuts are only cut off with stock launcher and display size 'medium'. But these are the settings I like most, I don't want to use another launcher or set display size to small or large.
Is it a general bug or is it just me?
put 5 icons in a row and you will see that he is right.
