I was able to add a application's activity shortcut by long press on home screen of my S1, upgrading to S4 and I couldn't find that option anymore. It's only App and widget. I'm trying to add a shortcut for Handcent's quick reply action. Is there a way to achieve this, I'm not sure if I should buy Tasker just to get this done :silly:By the way, I'm using Omega ROM.
Thanks.

Go to Apps and widgets> and You woudl get your Handcent's widget there just add it.
Thanks manu44, however available Handcent's widgets just let you view the msg, not quick reply.
I found the solution in case someone has the same inquiry. Found the app QuickshortcutMaker, it will let you to search for actions per app and create a shortcut for that action on home screen.

Is there any way to get a widget to show up in launch menu?
Or maby how to make a "shortcut" to the widget to make it show up in the program menu as a regular program. I guess i would be able to "select" it in the long press search button launch menu.
Maby someone know of an application that does the same as the "total silence" widget. That will say, turn off ALL sound when executed without asking any questions and then set all soundsettings back to previous setting when run again?
Widgets arent meant to be launched like apps..

Hi, I must have delete some apk that stop me from adding using the default widget application. Can anyone upload it, thanks in advance.
think we'll need more info.. is this a specific widget or all widgets that you're having a problem with?
and a word of (fairly obvious) advice.. if you don't know what something does, leave it alone!

When you press setting, add to screen. There is a option of widget. When I press it nothing appear.

Hi, I am looking for a super simple, cheap (free?) way to automatically change button actions when a user profile has been activated.
Specifically, I want to change the home button action. You know how you can go into an AOSP ROM and change the button action? Well, I want that capability but I need it to be automated when a profile is activated.
Any ideas?
Please don't recommend Tasker. I'm already aware of this option.
Okay, I've searched everywhere and can't figure out how to change the action on the Home Button to open a particular app using the single click action. It can be done with long-click I believe, but I need single click action for this project.
I'm now ready to look at Tasker as an option. Anyone know how to get that to work?

On original quicksettings, dunno.
With 3rd app, possible.
Google for an app that can put shortcuts in notification panel.
Add a shorcut/activity/"your home launcher"=>home activity.
That's one way to succeed.
One app I use is Power toggles from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&hl=fr
Another solution is to install all in one gestures from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=fr_FR
Here you can set what you want in screen edges that you choose yourself.
I use it from ages, really great application.
Reply me if what I say is not clear enough.
Good luck
Franky
Thanks for the information.
Thanks for the useful information Sir.I installed it but i get another quick toggle window below the original one.

Use reply if you want a quick response
Yep, that's why it's for.
Here you choose shorcuts of:
- app you want
- activity you want (here, your launcher's home activity)
- and more options...
If you don't like this solution, choose the second one
My pleasure

Hello, I cant find reminder in phone. Install apk dont work and galaxy apps and google apps dont find anything. Does somebody have working app? Sorry for english
You sure?
The app is there but you think to "need" to use it first. i.e. reject a call with a text etc and that will prompt the phone to launch the app for the first time. After that it will ask you if you wish to create a shortcut. I did this using a Nova Launcher activity widget to start the app and now I have the icon showing under the apps list as usual.

I have the same issue too. I see the reminder app in the apps installed list but nowhere as an icon or app in Samsung Experiece.
I tried the above method also but no prompt of reminder.

Just ask Bixby to set a Reminder for you, that's what I did and then I had the icon.

I don't have the guts to activate Bixby haha
If you don't want to try Bixby, try "Nova Launcher" and create an Activity widget. Use the widget to launch the Reminder MainUI applet
In settings, under apps, go into the reminder app and in the top right corner you will see the settings icon. Select that, toggle on the online storage and finish configuring. (Add places, etc.) After you do this you will see the app icon in your app drawer.
