[Q] Add shortcut to homescreen after app install - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for a setting/script/app that will put a shortcut on my homescreen each time I install an app (Similar to what the Xoom does with HC). I dont like my app drawer and would rather all my apps be right there. If you have ever looked at MIUI you will know what I am talking about. Currently I am using GoLauncher EX.
Thanks!

[Q] Folders on Home Screen?

I am using Desktop Visualizer and Folder Organizer to add a couple things to the desktop. I am doing a thing for games and apps (apps that arent games). It works with FO tagging but I was wondering if there was a way/app that would bring up a section that looks more like the normal app drawer, I don't really like the popup window that FO uses. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!
In ADWLauncher you can make Catalogs, so basically you select the apps you want to appear there..
After that you can add a "Launcher Action" (as an icon) to the desktop which opens the Catalog you made.
cool, I am using ADW EX, how do I go about making a catalog?
nm, i got it. thanks for the heads up. just started using ADW.

Simple Text / ADW Launcher question

So i hate using icons for my launcher, so i have used simple text as icons. But i have run into a snag along the way.... How do i modify my app drawer icon? I can change the icon easily. but when u choose what to launch you cant choose the app drawer, you have to physically choose an application, anyone know the way around this?
so you have an app drawer button or no?

[Q] Apex Launcher - New/Old App Drawer

Running CM9 (coffeebeans 4/30 build with latest pershoot kernel) on wi-fi 10.1, using Apex Launcher Pro.
I really enjoyed the old app drawer that didn't eat up the entire screen. In the new update, the apps in the app drawer take up the whole screen (similar to Nova Launcher, very different from Trebuchet). This is annoying because I love tapping the left or right of the screen to fast-switch app drawer screens. Yes I know technically the feature is still there, but more often than not, I hit an app instead of making the screen change because the space is so small now (beefy thumb syndrome).
Anyone here know if there's an option to go back to the old app drawer look? I posted at the Apex forum, but that place is a ghost-town filled with pr0n

[Q] Is there a way to create a short cut to Accuweather app?

I like the app but hate the widget...so is there a way to do this?
Grab AnyCut (F-Droid has it), create an AnyCut shortcut on the home screen and set its activity to WeatherWidgetMain

cool, lemme try that out.
Well, Any Cut crashes on my gs3....any other ideas?
Are you trying to add the shortcut by running AnyCut from its icon in the application drawer? Instead, make space for a shortcut on your homescreen and drag AnyCut from the Widgets section of the application drawer. It works for me on both Nova Launcher Prime and the TouchWiz Launcher. I forgot to state this earlier, sorry about that, but the shortcut takes you to the list of cities you configured - even if there's only one - so you must select your city in order to see the overview.
Resolved.
There is actually a Galaxy S3 Weather app on Play Store that creates an app shortcut for the default Accuweather widget.
It will be handy if Any Cut works on the GS3 though.

[Q] HTC Gallery link?

Can anyone tell me where I can find the HTC Gallery app in the filetree? It is installed, but when I go to look for it in my app drawer I can not find it. I would like to put a shortcut to it on my homescreen.
I wonder if it might be an issue with the Nova launcher app drawer?
Yep, disregard this question. I found it by poking around in Nova's app drawer. I used the add an app pop-up when longpressing the home screen and chose "Show hidden apps" and found it.
