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.

I'm really curious to know how I can change the default 4 app shortcuts in the launcher.
The ones I'm talking about is the Phone, Messaging, Contacts, etc
I have my phone rooted, the works.
For the life of me I've played with the phone all weekend and looked online and can't seem to find a damn thing.
Thanks for any help you good folks can provide, and I look forward to some fantastic ROMS from the community!
Push applications button > menu > select customizable grid
Push menu > edit
You can drag icons from the app drawer to the bottom, but you can only change 2 of the 4.
best way IMO is to use a different launcher
launcher pro and ADWL Launcher are both excellent and worth a try.

Any way it can be made to work?
Ok so I know theres ADW Home which is my favorite.. But I hate how I cant have friend stream nor the mail and calendar widgets from HTC. Is there anyway I can change the icons without having to change everything else? and/or the dock.
Yeah. I made a folder on the sd card root and loaded it with my own custom icons. Then in ADW, long press any app and select edit. Then click on the icon and choose select image. Browse to your icon folder and select.

You can change the function of your sense dock by visiting my thread on button mods. There is a link in my signature for it. Then you will still be able to use all the Htc widgets.
Anyone using Nova Launcher and knows how to create a shortcut to the Recent apps? The one that you get when you long press the home key on the Note 3. I managed to find a shortcut to the Active Applications and RAM but cannot find one for the Recent Apps. I want to use the home button as little as possible considering it's very crooked already.
Edit: I found an App that does this so it's good enough for now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=factory.widgets.recentapps
It would be nice though to have a shortcut from Nova etc. without installing an app.
Mate heres the easier solution...
Go to nova setting --> gestures and for swipe up choose recent apps...ure set

maybe try pulling the apk/odex from a international base rom?
look in my signature
I found a way to enable it on my ATT D800 earlier. First download launcher pro from the market. Then on the LG home add the widget call actions from launcher pro. Choose the Home action and then one of the sub-choices will be Home with something like hidden menu underneath it. choose that one and then click on the widget. From there check the theme engine box and exit the app. Then hitting the menu key from the home screen on LG Home will have themes. You can uninstall launcher pro after

Do you mean home > Add Activity > Home > com.lge.hiddenmenuactivity ? This doesn't work for me. It creates an icon and clicking on it shows "Failed to open whatever" and nothing happens.
Can you be more specific?
Also, can someone with a working Theme setting for the Home screen upload the LGHome.apk here? It's under /system/apps/

Check this thread for instructions:

Then once you have the widget, enable 'feature_use_theme'.

Thank you all. I solved the problem with "G2 Tweaksbox hidden Setting" by enabling the setting item: FEATURE USE THEME

The instructions are from that thread. As you can see from the thread, many people from AT&T G2 aren't able to access that shortcut. Opening the shortcut gives an error, as I mentioned before. Are you on the stock AT&T rom?

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?
