Hi guys.
I just wondered if I can make one of my homescreens an actual web page? What I want is to have all my apps on homescreen 3, but then swipe to homescreen 2 and have a specific webpage already open there in full screen.
Is this possible at all, please? Thanks in advance.
I can see this being very useful now you brought it up, espeically for business use on the go. Theoretically someone could easily code a widget like 8x4 size and display the webpage in it. I'd like to see someone implement that in one of the browser apps
It's technically possible with a widget that uses android.webkit.WebView, but I have found no apps on the market that do it.

I can't stand putting bookmarks on the homescreen and having them show up as ribbons. On my gnex the favicons became the homescreen icons. How can I do that? I've tried alternate browsers but the same thing happens - occasionally I'll get a ribbon with a small favicon inside but that's not what I want... Thanks.

[UPDATE] Thanks everyone for no help whatsoever... I figured out that in order to do it you have to bookmark it and then go to the bookmark and add it to the homescreen. No idea why it doesn't work straight from the page and add to homescreen.
Bump...?
Seriously? No one?
Hi everyone,
I`m looking for an app to lock two files on the desktop of an tablet.
The company i work for is looking to supply their prospects with a tablet (for promotional reasons offcourse) . The idea is that a video and a pdf are locked to the desktop of that tablet.
Alternatively a solution that would periodically copy the shortcuts back to the desktop would be an option aswell.
I have looked at commercial and freeware options without any luck sofar. I`m hoping someone from the XDA community can help me out.
You can lock the desktop in Apex Launcher (and I bet you can lock it using a few other popular launchers as well, such as Go Launcher or Nova Launcher). Get the free version or the paid Pro version.
If you find a widget that plays a video and and another that shows a PDF file, then lock the desktop using the Apex setting, I guess you have achieved the effect you want. You could also just put shortcuts to the files on the home screen of the tablet and then lock the home screen.
This app might be worth a try for the pdf widget. I haven't used it, so I can't comment on its quality.
I'm not sure if this was the solution you were looking for, but it might be it. Let us know!
Thanks for your reply, I have just tried Apex and it comes pretty close to what i`m looking for. I did remove the "apex settings" icon before locking the desktop
Does anyone know of a widget that you can write directly onto on the homescreen, then choose to save, share, discard it etc?
All the widgets I've found require you to press something to open a new note first which then goes full screen etc. I just want to be able to write straight onto the widget, like a post-it stuck on the homescreen...
Thanks
Note Widget
Try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.movinapp.easypad or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aerodroid.writenow or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=yong.app.notes
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tremeric.stickynotes
there is screen after clicking but its the closest i've found to what you want
Nice one thanks guys!
you can't actually type right on top of a widget because of some programming disabilities,
that's why all of the notes widgets opens new screen..
i like this one, because it looks less like new full screen window when you click on it:

Hi All,
I have a simple question yet I couldn't find any references at google
I made a google form web link and I add it to my home screen via chrome ("Add to Homescreen" set link)
Now, I want a way to send few friends that homescreen icon directly to their android home screen (or iOS users)...
how do I do that ?
Thanks
I have this really cool idea for a theme and it utilizes nova launchers ability to make more than one dock page, allowing for more apps to be placed on the different dock pages. I scrolled through all the options in nova launcher, and I couldn't find anything matching what I'm describing. If any of you really cool guys know a way to make it stay put, and not transfer over from page to page, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
To make it simple - when I swipe right or left from my home page, I don't want to see a dock on anymore, but when I return, there better be one.
