Whenever I install an app, it automatically creates a shortcut on the screen. Why this happening?
How can I stop that

Hi,
Go to Play Store and press menu button. (left down button)
Then go to settings and uncheck the "Put shortcut automatically" (i don't know the real english translation but in Play store settings, it's the fourth option from the top)
Hope it helped!

Is this possible at all? Or already done, maybe? would it be an app that could possibly run and replace this action or does it require a rom modification to do it?
I'd prefer specific apps to always be in my home long-press popup than just the most recent ones (ex: mail, web browser, twitter, facebook etc the ones that i am typically trying to get to )
Any thoughts?
I wouldn't mind having menu long press go to the dialer app so we can have a dedicated dialer button we can use when we have other apps open. Long pressing the menu button brings up the quick search bar which we already have a button for.

long pressing the menu button brings up the keyboard ... not the search...
Long press of menu brings up search on the vibrant, try it. (i read another thread that this isn't the same on other devices)
I assume that given that Vlingo can take over the long press of the search and home replacements can take over the long press of home, an app could be written to take over the long press of home to change its action as well?
I'm not a programer so I wouldn't have a clue of how to write an app that replaces that home/recent apps pop up to allow your own choice of shortcuts
Oh yeah, I guess I was wrong... I have to many devices to keep track of the differences...

I *kind-of* got what I wanted via the app "App Launcher" (link: http://www.appbrain.com/app/net.talondesigns.quicklaunch - $1.99)
It looks identical to the popup that you get with a long press of the home button - you can select the shortcuts you want to be in it, BUT it is a long press of the search key instead. Functionally, it is what I want, but I'd prefer to take over the home button action rather than using the search button, as I had that one assigned to Vlingo.
I did some searching but finally found something that worked. CSDevCTRL, which I found in the market, can make long pressing the search button open your camera app. Just download, run the app, scroll down to long press search button ctrl and select quick camera. Now if you want this to be persistant after a reboot then scroll down to run CSDevCTRL at startup and click save changes. Now when you long press search, choose CSDevCTRL and use by default. That's it.
You can also do this in CM7 under cm settings it will open camera and then you can take pictures with search button also.

Hello everyone. I have recently bought QMobile A8 phone which in "about phone" says ics 4.0.4 and has the notification swipe to close and long press home key and swipe to close background apps but in settings-> apps it does not show "all" button neither there is a way to disable apps. I installed advanced task killer and could find the disable button in few apps by force stop detail option in advanced task killer and disabled maps and few other. Now where to find them since I don't have the "all" button in settings-> apps where at the bottom there are disabled apps in my other android devices. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dr. Ismail Ahmed.
You have to swipe left and right to switch between the different groups. All should be there. Can you post screenshots of the Manage apps section if it isn't? Hold power and volume down at the same time to take a screenshot. Make sure to hold for a few seconds till it takes the screenshot.

Go to your phone’s main settings menu.
Go to the “Apps” or “Applications” option.
Go to the “All” tab in your list of apps.
Find the app you wish to disable and tap on it.
Press the disable button next to the force stop button.
If the disable button isn’t visible, you have to press “uninstall updates” first. Then go back to step 5.
Hi, I'm trying to simulate a long press of the home button in order to launch 'Google now on tap' as my phone (elephone p9000, stock 6.0, rooted) has got rid of the navigation bar in favour of a single capacitive button, which uses the long press function to launch recent apps instead of Google now on tap and I can't find any other way to launch this service. You can bring the navigation bar back but this interferes with other functionality I have set up now. Can anyone please tell me either an app that can run a script to simulate the home key long press or alternatively another way to create a shortcut to launch Google now on tap as right now I'm having to go into settings reactivate the navigation bar, long press home and then deactivate it after. Not exactly streamlined! Thanks for any advice.
Would be great to be able to assign Google now on tap to the fast access Button on the left. I miss it myself and dont want to use one Screen Navigation.

There's actually 2 very straightforward ways of doing this, one of which is I thought I'd tried but obviously not very well. You can launch the Now on Tap feature by assigning it to a gesture in either LMT pie control or another 3rd party app called All In 1 Gestures. If this isn't clear just ask.
Anybody figured this? What would the shortcut show up as using a third party app. I can see Google but how would you access Google now on tap? Doesn't show up as a shortcut.
