The the PLAY store you can find Anycut or Bettercut. Those allow you to create a shortcut to most anything. Although honestly I have not installed or tried in on the S3 yet.

[Q] Assign QWERTY-buttons to shortcuts while at homescreen

Hi!
It struck me the other day,
that instead of placing your shortcuts on your home screens
why not assign a hardware button to them?
I though it would be very nice just pressing W on the keyboard instead of going through my contacts when I want to call my wife.
But I can't find a single app capable of doing such a thing.
The closest thing I found was Hbuttons for WindowsMobile
Anyone got any suggestions ?

Basically, if you want your own shortcuts, go to setting, quicklaunch

The web site you linked to says to go to Settings > Application settings > Quick launch to change shortcuts.. but there's no such option on the x10 mini.
Also, loads of the shortcuts on that site are SEARCH + $KEY..
there's no search button on the x10 mini either...
what we need is a key mapper or something like they have on the snesoid emulater. if someone could extract it, maybe it'll work
Really? Sorry about that. My phone is in the service center right now and I just read that article a while back and thought it would be the same.
Would love a solution for this, it's a feature i miss atm from hbuttons

[Q] default browser lost. HELP

Hi
Just received my asus prime and I was wanting to change the default browser. So I disabled the stock browser in apps settings. However this has completely got rid of it from the apps menu and also off my homescreen shortcuts.
How do I re-enable it.
Please help me
Go back to where you disabled it and click enable.
Thanks for the reply
I tried this but it has disappeared from the all apps menu in the settings.
Do you have any other suggestions I can try
Thanks again

Touchwiz home buttons - S3 specific?

Hey guys
I want to put a shortcut in the four home button slots and so I've deleted the "internet" icon from there but now I have no idea how to get Dolphin shortcut to it. I've tried some answers through google for other phones but none that I have found seem to work, any ideas please?
First drag shortcut to desktop and then to the bottom bar.

Oh! Just worked, thank you! My screen didn't have any spare desktop (didn't know this was needed). Sorry for being so stupid
Has anyone noticed that this no longer works after recent OTA updates.
For some reason Samsung has locked the bottom bar and you can't change it any more. Well done Sammy!!
Does anyone know of any back doors or utilities that can be used to get around this issue?

[Q] How to modify default shortcuts from home screen bar while customizing a rom?

Im removing the bloatware from my providers rom. Ive achieved this without problems. My problem is that when I try to open up the MMS shortcut from the home screen bar is says "App ins't installed". Whats insteresting is that if I open MMS app from the applications menu it opens up without a problem. That makes me believe that the application shortcut thats being generated in the installation has a wrong path.
Is there a way where I can fix this? I want it to install without this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the dock shortcut at the bottom of the screen?
Just replace it with a working shortcut. You can do that on any launcher. TouchWiz included.

Yes but I want to do it in a "developer" perspective. I want to fix this so when people install it they dont have to replace it themselves.
Remember this is a rom Im customizing,there might be a file whose holding this shortcut path or something.

[Q] Cannot Access Themer Settings

I'm sure I can't be the first person to do this but i've been searching for a good hour and cannot find a solution. I needed to resize some of the items in the home screen widget so I long press the home screen and selected to unlock the widgets. Got everything fixed to my liking but now there is not way to relock the widgets again and therefor no way to access Themer Settings?
Everywhere I press on the home screen is a widget so I get the widget pop up but no way to access themer settings to relock the widgets or do anything else. If I open themer in the app drawer it just opens the theme store with no way to access settings. I have tried dragging items to create another screen but that doesn't work. Tried downloading Zooper from the Pay Store to relock from there but it doesn't show the themer widgets.
Tried every long press, finger combination, tapping of the screen/ softkeys with no luck.
Am I being incredibly daft here?
