Yup, when you open the camera, there is a settings button on the bottom right part of the screen (in laptop mode). Click on it, there should be a setting somewhere which lets you save the pictures to the SD card. Unfortunately I don't have it with me right now to tell you exactly where, but its easy to find
If you open the camera you then go to the settings (second icon from the right) this will bring up the setting page. On the bottom left you will see the "Tools" option. Go to Tools>Options>General tab, you can then choose where to save your photos/videos by using the pull-down menu.
Happy snapping

Damn, I always forget the two buttons at the buttons... :shock:
Thanx for pointing that out...
As the title say. How can i remove some of the start menu items??
In advance Thanks
Start menu?
Do you mean homescreen, program menu, or programs that automatically start when you turn the phone on?
Windows has a start menu!
hehe, I'm a old windows user
I mean program menu

Probably have to uninstall the app to remove its icon.
Or install something like 'Apps organizer' to group together apps with tags.
is there not other way to remove icones
(ex. I use handcent sms, so it would be nice to remove the pre installed sms icon from the program menu)
Why even use the program menu?
Create your shortcut to Handcent SMS.
I just have the programs I actually use on the homescreen, e.g. handcent sms. The program menu will show all installed apps so it can get a bit messy there and I don't know of a way to fix that.
drag the icon into the trash bin. when you press and hold the icon, drag it to the menu tray. it will get it off your homescreen.
Because your an x Window user like myself im guessing you want to organise your apps in the apps menu because its getting messy as there are loads just in one long list!
Unlike in windows where you could organise them into seperate folders for example: Games, Tools, Media etc.
If this is your issue its something i looked into when i first started using Android. As yet ive not seen a solution.
There is an app that does some sort of tidying maybe it was mentioned in this thread.
If im on the wrong lines just ignore me!!

I don't get it.
I just installed Apps Organizer.
Whats the difference between this and using Folders?
There is no app that organizes the app drawer.
AppsOrganizer helps organize them on homescreen(s).
I recall an app when I had my G1 that created folders in the app drawer. Launcher2? I think?
Maybe someone else knows.

That'd be pretty sweet.
Abc Organizer:
1. You can assign icons to your "folders"
2. You can back up your "folder" configuration to your SD card
3. You can customize the sorting of the app shortcuts, like most used first (on top), last used first, alpha
That's about all I can think of at the moment. It's not that great if you have a simple config and don't mind folder icons on your desktop.
Apps Organizer, I believe, is similar, but doesn't have contacts/direct dial or url support.
What I really want is when i press the program menu button, at the bottom in the home screen. That I come to a organized menu with my favorites at the top and some programs organized in the sub menus.
Is there no way to make this happen?

Correct. As far as I know, this is not possible.
I too wish it was possible, because I would love that feature. I don't need things like Amazon MP3 sitting there being useless and taking up space.

I beleive a home replacement app called dxtop can do what you want. Not sure about the other ones.

Once your apps are tagged, you can create shortcuts to app-organizer tags (folders). If you tag more apps they automatically appear in that tag folder, same with uninstalling.
Other benifits include:
1) tag one program with multiple tags (labels), ex: tools, gps. This will make the icon appear in both folders.
2) long pressing on an icon in a app-organizer folder gives you options to change labels and uninstall.
3) new applications go into a default "other apps" folder, so you don't have to hunt for them later.

yes this is exactly right. i use it and love it on my N1. THis is 110% the answer
Hey guys,
Hoping someone can help me out, not sure why this doesn't work for me...
I want to create 1 of my home pages similar to my previous phone, which is a full page of individual internet bookmarks (the same size as app icons). How I have gone about it (and how I have always done this), is open the basic internet browser (not chrome), go to a webpage, and then save them in my generic "bookmarks" folder.
After I have done that several times, I go to the homepage where I want the bookmarks, navigate to widgets, then drag and drop "bookmark 1x1" onto the homepage....A new screen opens titled "choose a bookmark". On this page I can see a folder "mobile bookmarks", so as there are no other options, i navigate to that folder....again nothing in there except the folder "samsung mobile", so i nav to that folder....nothing inside. There are no other folders or locations I can navigate to. WTF?!
I thought I may have saved them to a separate folder, but even when i go into the bookmark and select "edit" i can't change it to any other default folder (also tried creating a new folder and putting them in there, didn't help)
I tried going into CHROME and setting bookmarks (then saving them) and selecting them as a homepage widget, but again, i can't find anything. Along with the HUGE disappointment of no FM radio chip, I am finding the more basic options more difficult on this phone which doesn't say much for Samsung in newer generation phones. I also don't think I am a complete dumba$$, which is exactly how I feel when i ask a very basic question like this. WHY wont this work?
Thanks anyone who can help.

Phone is unbranded i9505 (4G) AU stock.
I'm using also the stock browser and if you press the menue softkey you can choose 'create shortcut'. This will create a shortcut on the homescreen It is pretty simple and works good for me. Hope this helps you.

Bookmark 1*1 point to chrome, and sbookmark point to the old android browser. Both work correct for me, and as other said, just create a shortcut (this function since android 2.x)
And for chrome just keep pressing the bookmark icon you want, then it will give you a menu to add it to home screen

Aha.
So bookarks are out the window these days, we just navigate to the webpage we want, then select "add shortcut" that seems to be the only way to get that link as a 1x1 icon on the home screen. Thanks mate, +1 for you

No.... When on a homescreen press Menu (or long-press the screen), press Add Shortcut, select Bookmark, choose the site you want.
A 1x1-sized bookmark icon shortcut will be added... :good:

Negatron. This has been answered, but I will respond to your post. On the i9505, long press homepage (or menu key), provides options:
- add apps/widgets - wont work this way
- create folder
- set wallpaper
- add/remove page (this is add or remove a homescreen page)
Long press screen options:
ADD TO HOME SCREEN:
- Apps and widgets
- Folder
- Page
None of these items/options work, so only works, for me, by going into the internet explorer app, hit menu key and then "add shortcut" instead of add bookmark...

Okay. Works, as it should, on my 9505 so no issues here :good: That is, using Apex Launcher as the option you look after is indeed not working (anymore) in Touchwiz...
Its working for me even on touchwiz..

Hey guys, I will try to find include as much info as I can. I have Google play loaded on the device. I tried to uninstall an app and the icon remained, trying to uninstall it again gives me a pop-up about the app files do not exsist. Ever since then if i install an app from either the play store or the Amazon app store they will not show up on the main screen. The apps are there and I can remove them via settings. I have tried a hard reset as well as reinstalling the initial app that caused the problem. When I do that the app icon works again but no new apps show up still. If I uninstall it again it does the same thing as the first time, the icon stays.
I was hoping there was something running in the background i can clear the data for or something to fix this. I do not know enough about it to tinker around with it. I have some stuff downloaded from Google play that i cannot backup. A factory reset will lose the data on those accounts so I am trying to avoid it.
If you have any suggestions I will gladly try them, thank you in advance for your help
Mine is doing the same today, I've uninstalled it but the icon remains on the screen. I've also tried others that I've installed from Google play, all behave the same.
Are new apps that you install showing up? I cannot get any new app to appear.
Settings, ,,, apps & games,,,,,manage all applications, ,,, Running ,,,, press the three dots on top of the screen to show cached processes. Open SHOW CACHED PROCESSES, ,,,,,select Home Pages icon,,,,, select STOP... GO TO HOME PAGE AND IT IS FIXED
Same issue happening on my Fire HD 10. No newly downloaded apps showing on home screen, and icons for uninstalled apps are grayed out. Tried clearing the home screen cache, but no luck.

This might be somewhat related. Please try the following trick to see if it helps:
(1). Settings --> Apps & Games --> Manage All Applications
(2). Swipe left in order to display "ALL" applications and then scroll down to select the application named "Home Pages"
(3). Tap "CLEAR CACHE" and then "FORCE STOP"

Clearing the data and cache for the home screens did finally work for me! I had to reorganize all my apps on the home screen, but not a big deal.
huge thanks for that.

Thanks! I had the same issue today, and I did the above steps twice for it to take hold. All fixed now! :good:
This was driving me nuts. This is the solution! No way I would've found it on my own if I had a million years. Thanks!
Cant uninstall app, this app has no icon its just blank. Theres a blank slot in the device administrators as well it can be checked and unchecked but has no information about it. Just blank if anyone can help it would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
cant create folder shortcut
Sorry to wake this thread up, but I can't seem to create a shortcut to a folder on my sd card on the fire hd8 tablet for kids. I have downloaded many different file explorers, have used them to create a shortcut, they say the shortcut has been created and is on home screen, but the folder shortcut never shows up on the home screen. Any help please....
When I first got my MIA1, I played around with a few versions of different Google Cam mods. I have just looked and didn't realise I still had two installed. I am looking to see if any of these new versions offer me some more benefits but before I do, I want to make a record of the version of the apps and all the settings I have for them.
The problem is they all use the same icon. I am looking to find the exact install that I used for each of these apps. When I go to Settings > Apps > and click on the App Info for the first mod it is just called "Camera" and it is "version 4.4.020.163412804".
The other one is called "GCMod5" and is version number 5.1.016.174405463.
How can I tell what exact installer I used for these cams?
Also, how can I tell what shortcut icon on the home screen is for which cam? When I open the app and look in the open apps, thery are all just called "camera". I wish the mods would call the app the actual mod name, not just "camera."
Just touch and hold the app icon and then select "App info" from the popup menu.
Actually, App Info doesn't show anything relevant as I mentioned clearly in the OP.
If I long click from the home screen I get the option to delete or uninstall. If I long click from the app drawer I get the option to take a selfie or take a video.
If anyone knows how to find this information I would be grateful.

From app drawer long press on camera and drag it to home screen without releasing your finger, at the top you will get app info and uninstall option during this process
Or install lawnchair launcher in that directly you will get app info option after long pressing on app icon

And that version has no relevance to the Developer or the APK install name.

Why don't you just uninstall one camera app test whatever you need to test and then install the other one?
