Hi,
Next to a list of Apps and Widgets, apparently android also has a list of shortcuts. Some apps add shortcuts in there, but there doesn't seem to be a way of manually adding shortcuts to that list.
I know you can put a shortcut to a lot on your homescreen, but these shortcuts aren't usable by other apps. Whereas the shortcuts in that shortcut list are (for examply by Xposed Additions or MacDroid).
I attached 2 screenshots to clarify. The first one is from Xposed Additions where you can open up the shortcut list. The second one is what is currently in that shortcut list.
Does anyone know how to add shortcuts to that list? I've tried some shurtcut making apps from the Play-store but these all just make regular shortcuts.
Thanks!
Does no one has an idea?

Is there an app or a tweak I can use to add an additional tab to the touchflo UI? I would like to add another app shortcut tab where I can add shortcuts. I prefer to not change the default ROM. Is there a cab file that can do that?
not that I've seen
You could try ManilaToday
and add a plugin that allows shortcuts
Not sure which plugin but I'm guessing They'll be one
maybe by messing around with iphonetoday
the icons don't have to look like an iphone's
Yeah hunt for ManillaTodayPlugin (MTP), installed fine for me (but read carefully), although personally I like ROMs where the Start Menu is a scrollable shortcut grid
When installing this cab, I've noticed it places shortcuts in the Start honeycomb for the HTC apps (Twitter, People, Calendar, Music and Footprints). None of these shortcuts have icons assigned to them, so they look naff.
PS. I didn't notice the additional shortcuts before I installed the latest ROM.

Install that cab and don't forget to mannually delete the extra icons from Windows/Start Menu/Programs. Soft reset and your done!
Thanks, I'll give it a go later.
Is there a way to have more than 20 icons, im greedy
Not sure if this is the same issue: Jamrecords works well on my phone; but after adding programs I can't delete them. Is that the same problem?
I just installed the official ROM for Topaz which brings us Sense 2.5. Now, I have changed all my icons on the whole phone to new ones but when I add one as quicklink in Sense it just shows the default one.
What can I do about this?
ArtieQ, you can find the icon path for the quick links in File Explorer->Application Data->HTC->ProgramLauncher. Those override the icons in the start menu. That would be one place to start. You could try deleting the default icon there and the icon you are using in your start menu should work. Be sure to backup/copy the default before deleting it.
The icons that don't show up is not in the ProgLauncher folder, why's that? Can't seem to fix this..
The way I've done it in the past is to delete the icon in programlauncher. HTC presets those icons to appear in quicklinks for the programs listed in that folder. All other programs use the icon in the startmenu. If you install new icons, they will not go into the programlauncher folder. So, if you see the icon you installed in the startmenu try deleting the associated default icon in programlauncher. For example, I wanted to use the google maps icon in the startmenu instead of the default one used by HTC in quicklinks. So I deleted the googlemaps icon in programlauncher and it then defaulted to the one in my startmenu.
So what is the process for getting custom icons onto the tablet and having them properly associated with their respective apps?
Say, I have a new Browser icon I want to use... what's the next step?
Can 'o' worms question, I know...
Personally I use folder organizer (from the market). It allows you to change an icon for a particular app or create a folder with several app in it. For example, a games folder with the icon of your choice will open a folder with whatever games you put in it (and can customize those icons as well)
Hope that helps.
Thanks Steve, I'll take a look at that now.
EDIT***
Okay, sorta works but a little too convoluted... You have to change each icon individually then add each app you've changed as a widget. I'm looking to do something more in the way of an icon pack that will swap out all the icons at once (of the ones I've made and apps supported).
I use Desktop Visualizer; however, this is also a 'one at a time' process.
I am not familiar with a process to change the icons 'en mass'.
This is a great thread for icon packs and there's some basic information on changing icons in the first post. It's possible though, that one of the icon developers listed in the thread will be able to answer your question.
Thanks for the info Franwella
I'll make my morning reading.
Hi Guys!
So, i have a little bug on my actual rom, which is that i get FC when i try to access settings by the shortcut on notifications panel.
i'm attaching 2 images showing it.
When i open it by the icon on the drawer, it opens okay. i think the problem is related to the settings view by tabs, cause when i open the settings by drawer and then choose to change to tabs, it fc. so i think the shortcut is trying to open settings with tabs, not list.
anyway, is it possible to change by any way the config of the shortcut to open it to the list view, not tabs?
or possibly fix tab view?
