FYI, the sense bookmark widget uses the bookmarks from the stock internet app, so if you are using a different browser, it won't pull those bookmarks. Anyway, all you need to do is click on the black page bookmark, it will go to the website in question, it automatically caches a thumbnail for the widget, exit out, refresh widget, done.

I'm using stock browser and I've added a few bookmarks and all work but 2 gamefaqs and dish network. I didn't see an option to refresh but I did exit and reenter the app im assuming that would work but it did not.

Hmm not really considered a short cut since you need to go into the menu and press refresh
Opening new windows via squeeze pinching the screen all the way - Now that's a shortcut

Desktop layout backup

I've been pretty much flashing "a rom a day" and re aligning my pages and widgets is getting rather annoying. I wonder if there is an app that would backup the desktop layout for this rom. So far it looks like I'll be sticking with InfectedRom.
2nd Question: How do I change the default caller ID picture?
thanks
Adw ex has a backup desktop option. I use it all the time when I flash roms.

To change the picture go to People(app)>[person name]>Menu button>Edit Contact>
Then you will see on the contact's picture icon at the top left of the edit screen there is a small arrow next to the picture. Press on the picture and a "select contact photo" window will pop up, with the choices to set the contact picture from Gallery, Camera, Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Did you have any luck finding an app that will backup your page settings, for example widgets, shortcuts, etc..

Yes, same here. I have a paid copy of TiBu, but don't see anything called Backup Desktop Layout, or anything like that.
EDIT:
Found the TouchWiz Home system app in TiBu and it did backup my pages and icons, but not widgets. Can't backup TouchWiz widgets at all I am seeing. A slight annoyance, but I'll get over it and check out launchers. From what I have read, replacing your default stock launch does not put another layer over the UI. It replaces it! So, it should not cost extra memory, battery, etc..
You can also use Nova Launcher (Prime), which imports the layout of your own launcher, and then you can back it up.
Still the best launcher imo.
Thanks, I am checking out the free version now. And also that ADW one as well.
I did find out that I can backup the TouchWiz Home system app in TiBu and it will restore the pages and icons, but not the widgets.
+1 on Nova Launcher Prime
backs up widgets too

Without prime, u can't back up ?
I bought nova prime on sale and use nova now, without knowing the limitations
Yes, the backup, restore is superb
The importing from other launchers too
And widget restorations
And lastly, decent customization

There are two ways of doing it:
1.
- Open your stock browser or chrome or Firefox
- bookmark your favorite website.
- goto bookmarks, long-click on anyone and select add to home screen.
2. From your launcher.
- long click, select add shortcuts,
- choose bookmark and select your favorite one.
With method two, you must have previously bookmarks that page on your stock browser at least.

Adding Chrome and app shortcuts to Homepage.

Anyone having an issue with Nova or Samsung Launcher in automatically adding new apps to the home screen or saving a Chrome bookmark to the home page? I can't get these two things to show up. Thank you.

Changes were made in Oreo that cause issues to place shortcuts on home screens. For example, Facebook messenger cannot create conversation shortcuts anymore but WhatsApp can.

Wow, are there any workarounds?

None that I've found. Not even using nova launcher. The strange thing is that Samsung back up did indeed restore home screen shortcuts, but if I wanna create a new one for the same app I can't
Using Nova Prime, I have no problem adding a bookmarked site to the home screen. Open the site, tap on the 3 button menu, and then on Add to Home screen. I tried it on three different sites, and it worked on all of them.

Is this from chrome? I have no luck with the latest version of Nova. Chrome says it's adding to homescreen yet nothings shows up.
