Duplicate icons on all programs screen

When i got to the programs screen on the TF interface then go to all programs, there are some icons that appear twice. How do i fix this?
You can try to erase all the duplicated shortcuts with the total commander program, you can explore the directory \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ here you can find all the shortcuts and here you can find the duplicated icons. Here i added the gps program that do not generate the shortcut after install.
Hope this helps.

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.

Folder shortcuts on the homescreen?

Hey, I have alot of books, videos, music, and other files on my microsd card. Does anyone know of a method to add shortcuts on the homescreen to these folders? Preferably within the stock file manager. Icons are also prefered over widgets, but widgets will suffice.
I figured ADW EX would allow for something this basic but unfortunately it doesn't.
ES File Explorer will let you do it.
Just long press on folder and select "Shortcut".

Backup widgets and shortcuts from desktop

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?
