Backup widgets and shortcuts from desktop - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I have got MK802 Android 4.0.4.
I need to do backup widgets and shortcuts from my desktop. I found that shortcuts can be saved due to /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases/launcher.db. However it can't save widgets and their positions on desktops.
After reburning I push that file in its location on the device and see that only sortcuts are set correctly. Widgets don't appear though I continue to see records in launcher.db about widgets.
The question is, how to save my widgets and their position on desktops. Where does android hide those settings?
I am planning to do it using ADB and scripts
Do you have a suggestion?
Thanks everyone!

I have the same issue.
Is there any way to backup the widgets and shortcuts with apps? or backup in computer?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The icons in menu cant be deleted. However, most alt launchers will let you hide icons in the menu.

Aha, what is with apps/games what i downloaded can I move them?
Your app drawer contains all apps on your phone, usually in alphabetical order... some launchers allow you to hide apps, some allow your to create folders within the drawer to group them, some allow you to re-order the drawer..
Personally, I prefer to leave all the apps in the drawers and create shortcuts to them (by dragging and dropping as you mentioned) onto the desktop and categorising the pages.. ie, I have a page of favourite games, a page of tools/ utilities, a page of media related stuff!, and a central home page with a clock and meridian music widget on it.. and finally, and page with a full page calendar widget on it.

[Q] Desktop Visualizer and Launcherpro/ADW Shortcuts

Hi, I have a very specific project in mind and i would like to know if its in any way possible for desktop visualizer to access launcher replacement shortcuts like launcherpro's next screen or adw's screen links. They don't appear in the system's shortcut list when being accessed by DV or other apps.
Can i create my own shortcut to another homescreen?
Does another launcher have the ability to link to other screens as well as resizing and customizin those links?
I want to arrange my different screens for different activities and be able to click an oversized text link on a central screen to access those screens. I know swiping is easy but this project is a pet peeve of mine.
I don't know coding but I would learn if it would mean I could achieve this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to backup my created desktop shortcuts urls?

Is there a simple way to backup my desktop shortcuts made with adblock browser? I like to put my favorito websites on my android desktop, but sometimes i do Factory reset and lose my shortcuts

Homescreen Shortcuts can they be added to Shortcuts List?

Guys, this is really doing my head in. I downloaded Playlist Shortcuts for Spotify and I can create a shortcut to a Spotify Playlist on my regular homescreen (HTC Mate M9). However this phone is installed in my car and I run Automate Car Launcher.
Ive downloaded a bunch of different floating side bars and apps like Assistive Android/Touch Pro etc but there seems no way to add this kind of shortcut to them.
On my S7 Edge, using Edge TaskBar, you can add a homescreen short cut. But for the life I've me I can find nothing in the playstore that enables you to add a homescreen shortcut to it.
Is there any sneaky way to add a homescreen shortcut into the standard shortcut list in Android?
Or can I use Tasker to somehow make this shortcut look like an App?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks Kindly
