In settings, I have auto add widget unchecked but every time I download a program, it adds a icon to my desktop. Does this happen to anyone else?
Thanks.
The icon isn't a widget. I don't think there is a setting anymore for not adding the icon

Though this would make logical sense, it is incorrect. The play store considers icons to be widgets. On my nexus, for example, unticking that box stops icons from being auto-added. Seems to be a bug. Alternatively, this could be something coded into touchwiz, to always add new apps to the homescreen.

Happens to me and drives me bonkers!
If you uncheck auto-add it won't add unless your launcher(like nova) also has it's own settings for auto-adding. Nova's settings have a section called new which also has an auto add feature.
This feature is the single most annoying feature in all of android IMO.

Damn I feel stupid; my Nova launcher prime did in fact have that setting enabled. Thanks for saving me future headaches.

I didn't see this anywhere in the GS2 threads when I searched so perhaps this will help someone:
To change three of the four apps in the bottom home screen dock:
Tap applications - menu - view type - customizable grid - menu - edit - drag onto dock and it will replace whatever is there - tap home
PS you can't change "Applications"
Excellent information. After making changes to the dock you can switch back to alphabetical grid and the changes to the dock will remain.

Thanks I was hoping that there was a way to modify the dock apps. It wasn't as straight forward as launcher pro.

Where do you get information like that??? It was a great help. Certainly not easy to find with average exploring. Where did you find it? And thanks!

So is there also a way to edit or remove the icon labels? Without adding a launcher.

Like the name? I believe that's custom launcher territory

Right, the name, and removal of it. Want to use ics for a while before adding launcher to see if some of the customizations I want are already there (like changing the dock icons in this thread). Only got it less than 2 days ago.

Works fine for me.
Under WidgetLocker settings, there is an entry for "Unread Counts". I turned that on and enabled TeslaUnread. From there I went to the "TeslaUnread Settings" and checked SMS, MissedCalls, and Gmail. (They might have been checked by default; in any case, check the ones you want to use.)
Then I put the icon for the respective apps on my WidgetLocker screen.
Hope that helps. If not, let me know more specifics and I'll try to help.

Long press on the WL tool (edit) screen then application. That'll give you the icon just like on your homescreen.

Hm, where in the app list can be found widgetlocker "notification bubble"? All I see is just app icon, but that don't give you missed calls/SMS count on lockscreen.
I also looked in shortcuts/widgets....but can't find Tesla notifications anywhere.
Of course I set Tesla unread as default under Unread counts in WL.
EDIT: Ok, I found... I realised that main app (SMS, phone, etc) get a badge.
Moved to Q&A
wrong app
Hi! So I've bought Nova launcher and installed Tesla unread. It's cool, but tesla puts missed calls counter on "Contacts" app icon, not on "Phone". It's not that bad, but still makes me fill uncomfortable. Is there way to fix it?

Have you solved your problem? If so, could you post the solution?
Is it possible to somehow create a shortcut to a specific setting with JB either with tasker or some other app? I'd like to quickly be able to get to the setting where you can quickly enable/disable notifications for an app.
Thanks

If you wanna create something like an shortcut to eg the battery in the android settings, you could use nova launcher. It has the option to start a single activity from an app.
The first one in the notification bar area...
E911 gps icon.

Thanks. Says it can't be turned off in settings, but I've seen some people's screens and they don't have that icon. Can it be disabled if you root or something?
Yes. Custom roms delete that icon

I'm curious about deleting this icon on stock ROM; I have been using the xposed installer framework and have had great success with my battery icon and a couple other personal "annoyances". Anybody have some cool suggestions or links? This is low on my priority list next to enabling the built-in hotspot app aside from the widgetsoid toggle.
If your rooted, all you have to do is delete the SystemUI.odex file and then flash one of the mods and it will remove that icon on a stock rom.

If you turn off the standalone GPS it goes away.

The waves go away, but the rest of the icon stays. I think you would have to turn off E911 services for it all to go away.
I always have GPS off but the waves are still there.
EDIT: Oh, you mean location services. Now I see.
The idea is to leave the services on; we know they are, but we don't want the icon. Minimalist UI, etc.
They actually have an icon glossary built into the software. If you go to Settings>More>About phone, the icon glossary is in there.
Hello guys,
One disadvantage to the Health app LG included is that you need to have the smart bulletin running on your homescreen to use it. Well not anymore!!
What I did was make an app that will launch the LG Health app. I used Tasker and just exported a simple app to do this! I will share it here for everyone that wants to use the LG Health app but does not want to have the smart bulletin enabled. So far for me it is working fine.
Just download and install the app and to open you just open your app drawer. If you wish to uninstall, mine is version 1.0, which would be an easy distinguishing factor in the app manager, also mine is a smaller sized app than the actual health app.
Just thought I would share because I am sure some people are limited here and would like this setup. Any questions let me know I will be glad to help!
Any of the shortcut making apps on the play store can do this. I did it that way. Many launchers will, too.
Thanks for the effort, though.

Any way to do this in Themer?
I've found you can long hold the desktop and go to advanced/shortcuts, but I don't see Activities in there.

I understand that, but some people may not, and this also adds it to their app drawer which is a small convenience.
Just throwing it out there as an option.
On Nova launcher, I just have it set as a nova activities widget. Works great. Icon is what it looks like as a shortcut with the circle case.
Just go to widgets, add the activities widget (might require nova prime), and choose LG health. Done.

install apex launcher but make themer your default launcher. this will give you an activities shortcut. there you will find LGhealth.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. This won't put it in my App Drawer though will it? Using themer, I hate putting shortcuts on the screens, it is too perty.
I'm trying to get Themer to make this possible, they don't understand right now.
Hi everyone,
You can also download the Any Cut app from the Play market to achieve this. At least that's how I did it.
Open the App ---> go to activities and select LG Health from the list.
The only drawback for some could be that it doesn't get the shortcut to the app drawer. But that may no be an issue for everyone.
Hope it helps
