I don't know much about creating apps or widgets but what I want to do is create a wifi toggle widget. There are a lot out there but none that look like what I want. Is it possible to just open an existing one and insert a different icon?
Yes it is read the Appwidget Guide on
developer.google.com

You could use desktop visualizer to kind of create icons, where you can choose the icon for application and so on...just take a look at it

Interesting, i have checked it out,going to play with it later (The app!) Then report back.Looks good though,cheers mate
This feature really should be included in sense,very time consuming having to use the app just to remove the text from under the icon.

Well, if you use a a different launcher, like launcherpro or adw, you can use custom icon packs(Suave etc).

Yup, using an alternate launcher in my opinion is the easiest way. There are plenty of themes available, and you can also change individual app icons very easily. I use Go Launcher Ex. It has some really cool transition animations.

I totally agree, HTC, must realise that ALOT of their customers want to tweek Sense more than they currently allow, so they eventually turn to other launchers.
Causing negative feelings towards Sense... as stable as it is!
I also prefer Go Launcher Ex for this, because not only does it allow Icons to be easily changed, but also renaming of apps.
I hate to see names cut off on the homescreen so I change them - for example
Tune In Radio is cut to Tune In... - so I change it to 'Radio'
One solution could be with Folder Organizer App. In Folder Organizer create a shortcut of app you want and simply change the icon. Afther that go to home, add, shortcut, Folder Organizer Item, shortcuts and select the one you created.
Is it possible to remove the text below your applications icon? Also, is it possible to remove the home the "page indicators"? I am guessing these changes would require me to root the phone. Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about.
No need to root, just find an alternative launcher app. There are a few out there, try some and find what suits you best.
PS: a lot of people seem to like nova launcher. I don't know if it has the features you want but you might want to check it.

Was just sitting around looking for the same thing? Used it to have direct links to my Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings.
found a work around for this...
Things you'll need.
1. Photos of the settings widget you'd like to add to your home screen. ( You might not need this depending on what setting or settings your wanting to use.)
2. Apex launcher.
3. Desktop visualizer.
After installing both applications open desktop visualizer and proceed loading the setting image that you'd like.
Once done you'll be prompted to select an action you'd like to correspond with the image. Select other then select apex actions, should be at the top of the list.
Scroll all the way down to the S category and select settings, should read 247 options, if not your at the wrong settings.
Select your desired function and your all set.
You can uninstall both applications. This won't effect any functionality.
Hope this helps and drop me line if it does.

I am looking for this and I guess my question to you sherrouse is, why do I need photos and desktop visualizer? Can't Apex Launcher add a widget for any setting I want with some stock images and just work?

Unfortunately, I don't think apex launcher can create widgets that can be utilized by Touch wiz home. However the process might work if you intend to replace T.w home with apex as you daily launcher...

Just tried quickshortcut. It works pretty darn good. Created a location setting shortcut just like I wanted.
Thanks.
1. is it possible to remove the app icons from the lock screen so no icons show,
2. is it possible to not have any icons or widget on a home screen other than the icon to access all the apps
3. what about removing scroll line above the apps at the very bottom of the homescreen
can these be done without a launcher?
1, yes I did it because I wasn't issuing them
2, maybe
3, also maybe

how do i do this?
1. LockScreen Settings-> Shorcuts and there you can select for each position to have no application.
2. You can remove everything by drag and drop
3. I have seen here on xda a method, but I don't remember where. Could be some xposed modules, not sure

is it possible not to any have any widgets on the lock screen and or remove the tap her to add a widget?
From stock rom, I don't think is possible, but we have very good developers here, maybe someone created a mod for lockscreen

3. - this can be done by modyfing systemui or framework; I can't do it, but if You want to learn, there are even some guides on Youtube.
@joeynox
You can hide the divider line with G2 TweaksBox (xposed module) and the dev has the option to hide "tap here to add a widget" in his to-do list.

You would need to mod LGLockscreen.apk in JB roms or LGKeyguard.apk in KK.
So when I am on my s7 edge (edge apps) and i go to tasks edge. I click the settings tab, on bottom left. Then go to that edge panel and click the bottom pencil(edit) Once there it says on top left( once you add shortcuts to homescreen from within apps they will appear here) so how do I do this? I I can't find any way to make these shortcuts? Any help?
One way is with an app called Awesome Icons. You may also want to install the Touchwiz Icon pack if you are using the stock icons. Also, you may may want to try QuickShortcutMaker. These effectively let you add App shortcuts to Task Edge.
Thanks georgeP,
I figured since it was there and mentioned that Sammy would have had a means of doing it. I will try the above mentioned. Thanks again

I added a couple of things there using Nova launcher but I can't remember how I did it.... Does anyone else have a solution for this? A google search only takes me to this thread.
Sorry to "me too" spam but I haven't found a way yet, either. The QuickShortcutMaker certainly makes shortcuts but I don't see how to put them to the Tasks Edge.
i need to put there messenger contacts, whatsapp contacts, telegram contacts but i can't...there is a way ?
Hi I also want to add more shortcuts to the Edge Tasks panel. so BUMP

One simply need to add the needed shortcut(s) to any page of the *Touchwizz Laucher*
After that it become available to add in the tasks panel
It works even if you use an alternative launcher: one just need to temporary switch to Samsung launcher to create the shortcut
Oncethe shortcut is added to the panel, you don't even need to keep it on the launcher desktop.
