I have Sticky Note widget app. I wanted to create a shortcut to it as opposed to press and hold the screen, choose widgets, scroll down to the app.
thanks

What? You don't run widgets, you add them to your home screen by pressing and hold the screen, choose widgets, scroll down to the app.
I am sure he knows how to access a widget. What he wants is to be able to open a note with a single press. I agree, the way you have to do it now is too bulky for use with note type widgets.
I swear the way you access a widget is a effectively a shortcut...
i was pretty sure a widget was basicly a shortcut....kinda confused by ur post...
If you try the sticky note app, it creates sticky notes on the desktop. To create a new one, you have to go through the widget list. Essentially want I want is an application shortcut that runs the widget
I don't think there is any way to do that (as far as I know).
Maybe someone else does...
I am wondering if there is a way to put a shortcut to a website on my homescreen rather than having to put the bookmark widgets.
Also, is it possible to have each home screen contain a different wallpaper, even if it would require a launcher from the market?
Thanks
Yes, when you go to set the bookmark use the drop down list and select home screen. This will just set a single icon on your home screen.
No can't set a different wallpaper for each home screen.
Multipicture live wallpaper app in market allows you to have different walls on each screen. Don't let the livewallpaper part fool you. It works for still photo's too. It works on my gtab!

Alternatively, long press the home screen > more > bookmark

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...

Thanks.
Hey guys, I was just changing my lock screen wallpaper on my Edge when I discovered that you can actually add up to 30 different wallpapers that will rotate every hour on your phone! I know it doesnt sound like a big deal, but absolutely a neat feature that was not talked about. Thanks Sammy! I currently set 8 different wallpapers for mine to rotate throughout the day. If you guys find any little things like this that werent talked about feel free to add them in this thread!:good:
How did you get this to work? Seems like a nice feature
are you referring to the lockscreen wallpapers where they "move" and change every hour? the note 4 has this too
I would love this feature! How'd you turn this on?
Ah, can only be used on the lock screen, not the homescreen.
I just realized this as well. Only the lock screen
Can anyone please post a Video

don't wanna make a new thread so as you talking about unknown features, well more of an Easter egg: the icon for the clock in the apps draw displays the real time including on the default theme, thought it was kinda cool. lol

Thanks! I actually thought it was for locking the phone (hence, direction lock), but it was only for unlocking. Thanks for the heads up though!
My GS6 Edge Gold Platinum 64GB is arriving on Friday and this thread is a good idea, keep posting people I want to know all the sexy features of this sexy phone
MultiTask mode where you can have an app floating on your desktop can be accessed as we know through the multiwindow key. But also within any app that can be "multitask" you can easily unlock it for multitask by swiping your finger on "top right or left corner" of the screen of the phone. Meaning outside of the screen to inside of the screen. Thought it was pretty cool too.
Since I cant install s8 weather due to package error, but I still wanna use s8 look, and default weather application, is there any app or something that I can use to open samsung s7 stock weather app (when I click zooper widget)? When I choose click event in zooper app, there is no option to system default weather app, so is there any app which can help in this?

If i remember rightly its because the weather app does not appear in the app draw....
Unfortunately in the S7 Weather Settings there is no option to show the app in the app drawer..
The option is there in the S8 weather Settings though which kinda sucks for you in this situation since you can't install the s8 weather app.
i just found a way to make it possbile though bare with me a sec

Congrats! hope my method will still serve you in the future, you can link to any other activity with it so you can make a widget for anything if you just want to play around and test what activities are possible you can browse in the app itself and select a service and select "try" it will load that service... if you like the service it loads repeat the steps for weather just select the new service you want instead
Sample :
if you use Twitter you could use the same methods to create your own personalised widget that automatically opens twitter at the post a tweet page or facebook to go straight to posting etc

I confirmed that this same method works in KWGT also. When choosing the tap action, choose "Shortcut" and then choose the Nova Activities at the top of the list and find the Weather Forecast as described above.
