Just seeing if this is just me or if others have this going for then as well. I can see the app sharing app in manage programs but It's not showing up in my app drawer or anywhere else. So, can u guys see/use it?
Via 3VO on TapaTalk
I was trying to figure that out as well. The best I could think is that it works the same way as sharing something in "friend stream" (long press to share) Its more of a component then a stand alone app.
No, on the EVO (and other HTC phones I've played with) it was a standalone app that was also integrated into rosie, so you could open the app drawer, hit menu and "share"....
Till we get root, I'll just live with the one off the market...
This happened to me as well ...I can see the app share in manage programs but its not in my app drawer......it also comes as 0.00B in manage programs.
I just did a factory reset and the share app is still missing.
1) Open your app drawer
2) Select HTC Likes
3) Select downloads (4th one from the left on the tabs at the bottom)
4) Hit menu
5) Select share
6) Select the app you wish to share
7) Select your sharing method
I think this is the closest you're going to get unless you download an app like Listabales.

Thanks! At least I know It's on there for a reason. Aweful lot of run around to try and use it, though.

Yes you can use Launcher Pro to do this. Just press and hold on the screen and Shortcut is at the top of the list.
Sorry think that gives apps etc not a single file ( assuming like a word document)
Edit: might be worth trying a folder widget and see if you can place a file in it, at least it would be quicker to get to that way instead of going through the menu system.
Astro file manager allows you to do that. Once installed, press and hold the screen, choose shortcut, choose astro, that will fire up astro and allow you to navigate to the file you want as a shortcut, just select that file and it will place it on your home screen as a shortcut in Touchwiz, Launcherpro etc.
Anycut in the mkt.
Thanks guys ;-)
I found a app. Adao file Manager - it does the job 70% (it can make a shortcut to a folder - not a file) -
I will give astra a try one of the comming days.
Thanks for all the answers
I installed Astro File Mamager - its working perfect. It can make shortcut both to a file and to a folder. Thanks

Code:
How do I install a shortcut on the homescreen? When I long press and tap "shortcut" nothing happens. There are websites I visit frequently that don't have an app.
in your browser favorites if you long hold it will give you the option to paste shortcut on homescreen. i think it is long hold that does this
It worked for some, but said the others already existed (even though they didn't). Anyhoo, considering my ineptness, this is a success. Thanks much!
Yeah I figured more people would have said something about not being able to put application shortcuts on the desktop.. or make folders for that matter. I mean the menu comes up to add folder or shortcut but it just sits there after that.
Also how do you switch from one application to another? With my phone you can hold the home screen button down and a box will appear with all the running/recently used apps appears. With this I have to keep going back to the launcher and restart the app every time I just want to switch to it. Is there an app I have to add for simple task switching?
I have solved the switching issue with 2 free applications, 'PreHome' and 'Notification Toggle'. PreHome gives you a popup with open and recent applications. Use Notification Toggle to put PreHome in your notification tray and you have quick switching.
Thanks.. nifty workaround.. now just click on the notification icon.. then to the task switcher.. Now just need to figure out why the shortcuts / folders don't add to the desktop.
I am not able to add folders to my homescreen on my rooted nook tablet either. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
I will have to try out the task switcher as well. I was looking for that functionality.

Using Go Launcher EX, I create the folders in my app drawer by dragging apps on top of each other, and then dragging the folders to my home screen.
I believe other launchers have the same feature. Outside of that, I don't believe there is a way to create folder right on the home screen since B&N did not include it in their build.
I am using ADW launcher. I will mess around with it some more today and see what I can come up with.
edit: No luck creating folders on the home screen with ADW launcher, no matter what I try.
I've had the same issues trying to create shortcuts and folders on rooted NT. I'm using ADW launcher as well. My workaround was to create "catalogs" for the folders I wanted on the home screen and organize my apps this way.
To do this:
Open the app drawer, click the menu button, then pick "choose catalog" to create a new catalog. This creates a new screen that you can then choose "setup catalog" and check off what you want. Then go to the home screen, long press, and pick "launcher actions". There should be options to "show catalog ____". You can then change the icon to the folder by long pressing and choosing "edit" and picking the icon and loading a new pic, etc.
This will get you a folder with whatever games or apps you want.
I created a "Games" folder this way.
Regarding the shorcuts issue, try the program "AnyCut" to try to create shorcuts. It's not the perfect solution as I was unable to figure out how to create a "directions & navigations" shorcut from it, but it has a ton of options. Worth a look.

I made folders by bringing the apps i wanted to the homescreen, then dragging the apps together. The first two apps that are combined will create a folder, then drag more apps to it to add them. Long press the folder to rename it. This is all with ADW Ex.
Looks like com.android.settings is supposed to contain .ActivityPicker which handles the android.intent.action.PICK_ACTIVITY intent.
I wonder if I could just take the settings apk from my phone and throw it on my Nook. I have no idea which apk it actually is though.
EDIT: Derp, it's /system/app/Settings.apk.
adb shell
pm list packages -f
will give a list
EDIT2: Looks like all the code is there for the ActivityPicker, it's just not registered in the manifest. I'm almost positive I can just recompile it with the info added and shortcuts will work. I just have to figure out how to compile without compression or confirm the Nook can handle compressed apks.
For folder shortcuts im using an app called Folder Organizer. Once you get your apps sorted into whatever sort of folders/lables you like you can add them as a widget to the desktop. They function just like a folder and i just discovered that Titanium Backup will automatically usr them as a sorting lable fpr app filters if you need that.

When I try this, I get a message saying it's incompatible with my theme (BigDX ADW Serenity) and it goes back to the default theme. But even then, I can't create folders. Keeps giving me the same message.
I'm also using ADW EX.
Does go launcher or the other one work on none rooted NTs? I dont rewlly want to root right now because i have the warranty. And what is the "app" or program that has a home key on the side of the nook screen so that you can go between sideloaded apps and the actual nook? (Or is that just on rooted NTs? Thanks!
I've kind of gave up on shortcuts and folders. I spent a bunch of time (twice) setting a bunch of this stuff up to find it missing after a reboot No more.

Odd, I have no problem creating a shortcut using Activities/ and scrolling down to Directions & Navigation.
Also:
1. ES File Explorer can create file system shortcuts on the desktop. They open of course in ES File Exlorer.
2. BetterCut is more in depth and a much better interface than Anycut. Dev is defunct, but the .apk can be found with a search.
3. As others have said, creating folders is very simple with Go Launcher.
4. Button Savior (which I wouldn't want to use the NT without) long pressing the home button brings up a task switcher with the last 6 apps used.

GoLauncher definitely works without being rooted.
I'm guessing the app you mean is Button Savior? If so, the home button does work without root, but most of the features (like the task switcher) require root.
Otherwise you can use HomeCatcher to set up the N button for whichever launcher you want. It's been a long time since my NT wasn't rooted, but if I remember correctly this didn't require root.
What I like to do is use AnyCut to create a shortcut (Activities/Home) back to the stock NT interface. Then you can switch back and forth between homes interfaces. (Stock and goLauncher).
If you uninstall GoLauncher or other alternative launcher then home will default back to the stock interface.
Hi guys. I've wanted something like Instagram but found a plugin that manipulates photos. It's called "Aviary Photo Editor". Just search 'aviary' in the play store (hate the name)... It is not a stand alone app but a plugin.
To access it after d/l
1. Go to 'Gallery'
2. Tap the menu button
3. Tap 'Share Via'
4. Go to 'Aviary Editor'
Its actually pretty cool and clean... but wish it was a stand alone app. BTW its free. Its also integrated with other apps like Facebook... but need to go to each individual pic and go to share and select 'aviary editor'...
This is just nice to have until 'instagram' comes out.
have you tried Vignette? Has all different type of Polaroid frames and good effects selection. Comes really close to what Instagram and Hipstamatic can do.

hi there, I just download this application. But for certain effect, the developer put some $ and it is not free ... I just guest if the price is US$ 0,99 for all plugin
1: App Picker Classic
I don't know about you guys but most of the time when I open a link, I use one app. As such I select it as my default app because having to select the app, press just once and then pressing ok to the message about removing default app status is a pain. But often times I want to use a different app to open it.for example opening a url in browser or pop up browser.
So this app just makes it so you only have to press the app once to open the link with it. Awesome.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.anyro.picker
2: Disk Usage
Having two storage devices, with a fairly overpopulated filing system, can be pretty hard to manage. Even with a large sd card, it can get full pretty quick. Especially when you're downloading big files and doing nandroid backups.
This app graphically lays out your entire file system by size so you can easily see which directories and which files are hogging your storage capacity and exactly where they are all at the same time. A really easy to use and a convenient tool. Awesome.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
3: Helium (previously carbon)
Whether you're a crack flasher or you just want to play it safe, making backups is a good idea. With helium you can backup up the state of your apps. For example your sms's, a particular apps settings or log in info, to name a few. This is an invaluable tool you should always have in your app drawer. Awesome.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
I also recommend getting the premium version to support the dev and for the features
4: Swipe pad
Multitasking can be a bit cumbersome on devices with a screen smaller than that of a computer. I mean among the smallest laptops are laptops under 13" and there are some who argue those are too small to be manageable. Yes our phone is huge relative to other phones, but relative to a computer it's tiny.
I don't know about you guys but I use a small collection of apps frequently, and I have some apps which I want immediate access to. Fortunately there are developers with answers, and the product delivers.
Swipe pad is the solution. It allows you to map apps to little slots on a grid that is available when swiping from a desired edge of the screen. Simply lift your finger from the app you're touching and it gets launched. But it's not only for apps. I'll let you discover the rest, but being able to add nova launcher activities is just awesome.

Thanks for the heads up...going to try it today. I definitely find times where I don't want to use the default app and this saves clicking the "just once" every time.
thank you for this

I am probably just missing it, but is there a way to make folders in the app drawer screen? I have the default google folder but I can't seem to create my own (or remove any apps from the google folder). Thanks.

Pretty sure you just drag one app on top of the other to create a folder. Then just drag other apps in to add.

Right, but it seems like that can only be done on the home screen panels, not in the app drawer.

Go to app drawer, tap menu, tap "view apps by" and select "user customized".
While you're still in app drawer tap menu again, select "edit/uninstall apps"
Now drag an icon onto another icon to place them into a folder together.
While in edit mode you can open a folder and drag all the apps out of it to delete the folder.
