tap and hold on the home screen and pick the shortcut of the application if you are having samsung based rom, if on MIUI all the shortcuts are already on the home screen
Edit : you are talking about downloaded apps? not found yet in samasung, in HTC sence it is there sorted seperately....system & dowloaded
of course the downloaded apps
maybe some tweaker here finds a way

I don't know a way yet.

just as any shortcut that is used to ease your common activities
otherwise why use shortcuts at all
why place anything on homescreen

If you type in *#*#4636#*#* you get to the testing page. I couldn't help but notice that when you are done with using the testing page and you go back to the home screen and "long hold" Home, to get the pop up of most recent application used, the testing page is one of those options. If it can do that, shouldn't this mean that it would be easy to make an application of this? Rather than dialing *#*#4636#*#* each and every time.
I am in no means able to develop something like this, but this would be a cool development for those who are not rooted.

i think the spare parts app is already available at the market?
edit: hm, ok.. phone information is missing @ spare parts i think
Never noticed,..you are right.

I beleive you can create a shortcut to the testing menu using Bettercut

Yes I think this is the simplest way, I've just did it with anycut
Try the Network app in the Market, it's free.

There is also an application called Phone Info in the market place that takes you to the menu.
Just remember *#*#INFO#*#*

Im currently using the ICS Browser+ as my default browser, but when i when press it the browser button i get sent to the stock one. Is there anyway to change this?
I would like to see if there's an answer to this as well. Thanks ahead of time.
Wow, I think this is one of the first questions I've seen that _hasn't_ been incredibly stupid or didn't sound like it wasn't a post by a whiny 12 yr old.
I will dig around this week and see what I can find.

I did a bit of searching and wasn't able to find any threads with an answer...granted, I'm not prefect , so perhaps I glazed over it.

I don't know how to change the row of buttons at the top of the keyboard, but you can create your own custom shortcuts to launch applications:

Search+b launches browser already, but you can change it to launch whatever application you want (including a different browser).

I must be blind..Where is the browser button. I assume you don't mean the normal browser Icon because that will open the original browser (regardless of your default).
When I hit the google search I am asked what browser to open (I haven't set a default browser yet)
If you want that default browser icon for Browser+ then I think you may be able to just change the Browser+ Icon

I just got my new SGS3 today and for the life of me I can't figure out how to delete most of these Bloatware Widgets that Samsung installed onto the TouchWiz Screens. I pressed and Held the Widget expecting a REMOVE Trash Can to drag it to but there is none to be found - Can someone please tell me the secret to permanent removing unwanted widgets from a SGS3 TouchWiz Screen - Thanks in Advance - Tom

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to use blinkfeed with Nova launcher
Go back to sense. Delete all homescreens leaving only blink feed. Go back to nova create a short cut to sense launcher. Voilà

RIght on mane
weird issue
This is brilliant. though for some reason when I use the action to HTC Sense, it brings me to the app drawer...not blink feed.
Thoughts?
Thanks very much.
and yes, I checked the activity is "HTC Sense"
Modaco Has this feature under HTC ONE.

This seems like a common way to do it (I googled it), but I don't seem to have the "HTC Sense" option when scrolling through the list of activities. Anybody have any ideas why? Here's a screen shot:

You need to tap on "HTC BlinkFeed" from the list and then search for HTC BlinkFeed below which "Launcher" will be written, select that and you're good.

I recently got the Reno 3 Pro. Great phone so far.
When I installed my favorite launcher, I found out, that there is no possibility to set/keep it as standard.
In app management>default app the content for Homescreen is missing ....
Got the latest ColorOS update.

Strange, I have the home screen option in default app settings as attached.
I would suggest install some other launcher and click home, it will ask you to choose which should be default as checkbox, choose your fav launcher and uninstall the other launcher.

Did you try installing some other new launcher and try to click home button which should ask what launcher to use, there you can see check box always use the same launcher.

Yes, I did. When I then click the home button it asks me whether I want to set the new launcher as standard launcher - so far ok. When I then click yes, then I get the screen with "standard home app" saying "no app"

Very strange,
Can you try installing QuickHomeSwitcher and see if it shows other launchers for you to select.

FYI: There are many home screen switcher apps available few are virus too thats why sharing link which I installed and tested.

Thank you, I tried the app, but whenever I open it, it's not going to open but switches immediately to the first screen (Homescreen) of the oppo Reno standard launcher.
What I do now is, I start my favorite launcher and it runs like a normal app. To keep it open, I always have to switch back to it in the recent app list. When I end/kill it, then of course I get the standard launcher Homescreen back.
Very strange for me too, I have been working with many smartphones yet, also rooting and flashing things forwards and backwards but not yet encountered a problem like this
Enclosed a picture of my given default app list where Homescreen is simply missing
did you tap on the 'build number' to open up developer mode, aka unlocked boot loader ?

I have the same problem. Reno 3 PRO bought in China
i have the same problem but i remember when i received it i could choose the default app to open word excel and pdf files then i did the latest update which is PCRM00_11_A.29_6423cd33 and now i can choose the defaut for message, phone, browser, camera, photos, music and video that all
kernel 4.19.81
I wonder if the problem is not from the last update
