Long press anywhere on homescreen, then select unlock widgets.
Now long press on the widget you want to edit, a menu will pop up select configure, then select the text you want to reassign thenin the small row of options below select text>hotspot> then replace the default app by clicking it and selecting desired app in activities menu.
Sounds complicated but pretty easy

On my Captivate I had the ability to add a Direct Dial icon to my screen, allowing me to call someone with one press of a button. I was using Launcher Pro, and am not sure if it was that launcher of the Samsun firmware that gave me the ability to add that shortcut.
However, on the Atrix, also running launcher pro, I don't see an option anywhere to add direct dial, as in its missing from the list of things to add.
I can add a contact to the page, but then there's a second step needed to actually dial the number.
Any thoughts on how I can get around it?
Nobody? Am I the only one who ever used the direct dial function?
I did it too, cant find it on atrix either
Had the same problem, here's what you can do:
Get the [free] app "Folder Organizer lite" from the market...Then go to the create a shortcut menu, and select Folder Organizer item - pick Direct Call / Direct Text etc. from the next menu and you're good to go. Works great! There is built-in functionality with Blur but I find it to be very flaky / hard to setup.
This worked! Thank you very much. Now I'm 100% happy with the phone!

how did you get this to work? after i make the contact in the app, I keep getting the error message that "shortcuts were only available in the paid version" whenever i click on the new contact .
Animated widget is pretty cool too. I can direct dial or text any contact in my book from a single widget. The other app that worked well was anycut.

You don't make the contact in the app. You just add a shorcut like you would any other on your homescreen (so press and hold and select shortcut), in the shortcuts menu there is an option for folder organizer items, select that and then select direct dial from the list.

I don't know what is an issue here but I'm running LauncherPro as well and on my Atrix speed dial works just fine. Simple press dialer and old any button except 1 which is voicemail.
I wanna put the handcent icon where the stock messaging icon is on the homescreen. I sthere anyway of doing it other than another launcher?
On the TW4 ports on the captivate if you go into the app drawer and press menu and edit you could change them. Is there a view type in the settings in the app drawer?

I want to know how to do this as well.
Took me a bit to figure this out, but it's possible.
1) open Applications (your app drawer).
2) press Menu key.
3) press edit** - by default this will pop up with a box that says You need to switch the view type to customizable grid... click Switch.
**if you do not see the edit option, you are probably in the Alphabetical List View Type - change it to Customizable Grid, now press Menu, then Edit.
4) now, navigate to app you want on your main home row and drag it on top of app you want to replace, ie: Handcent SMS on top of the stock Messaging app.
5) click Menu, then Save, or just press your Home key and it should apply.
Thanxs

I dont know what happen. I woke up one morning and the contact icon on the bottom of the home screen is gone. I usualy have four icons there. Phone contact messaging and application. But now i only have three. I still could see contact icon inside application. how do i fix it?
Open application drawer, menu, edit, long press the relevant icon and put it back? Or similar, I forget the exact order of things in TW.
how do i do that? im running on stock ics. I didnt root
I just told you? What's unclear and why are you going on about root?
In the 'Phone contact messaging and application', click on the application icon.
press the 'menu/options' button - this is the left of the 3 buttons at the bottom of the phone. this will pop-up a menu. Select 'Edit' from this menu.
You can now move all the icons about. You can move icons from page to page and also from the page to the 'Phone contact messaging and application'.
Once you have changed it to the way you want it, select the 'menu/options' button and select Save.
This has been already answered, but I thought I would make it a bit clearer. There is no requirement to root the phone for this as it is a standard feature of Android.

Is there a way to resize the widgets(i.e. Calender, Google Now, etc)? When ever I long press it only opens up the Themer settings, and double tap just opens up the widget. I don't see a option to resize in the settings for gestures either.
Thanks.

Hi,
If you long press on the homescreen > Advanced > Unlock Widgets, this will enable you to resize/remove the widgets for that screen. Repeat the process in order to lock them in place. If a widget takes up the whole screen and you aren't able to get to some free space, go into Themer's main settings > Advanced > Desktop > Lock Desktop Widgets.
Hope this helps!
*POOF* Worked like magic, tyvm.

Hi, like i said on the title i want to know if there is a way to change the icon and the name of an app on android whitout root ? Thanks !!
(i use a Samsung Galaxy S9)
way to change icon and name of an app on android
Here I gave you 2Ways to change the icon and name of app..Hope this will be helpful to you
Install the launcher.
Long press on the app shortcut in your android home screen.
Click on the Edit option.
In the edit shortcut, you can now change the name of the icon.
After you change the name, click on the done button.
That’s it. You’ve successfully changed the name of the icon on your home screen. But, If you want to change app icon name in the app drawer, follow the below steps.
Open app drawer.
Touch and hold the icon of the app for which you want to change the name.
Drag the icon to edit (at the top) and release your hold on the icon.
Now, you are in the "edit app" popup, where you can edit the name.
Change the name as per your wish and click on done button.
Now, you can see the changed icon name in the app drawer.
The another way to change icon names is using android apps. In this instance, we are going to use the app called “quick shortcut maker”. You can download it from here.
Open the app.
Navigate to the applications section.
There you can see all the apps. Click on the app for which you want to change the name of the icon.
In the top, you can see the "tap to change label" option. Tap on it.
In the rename shortcut dialog box, provide the name you want.
Tap on OK button. Now, click on the create button to create a shortcut with your desired icon name.

" Install the launcher " Yeah but which launcher ?
And btw no need to give me a solution involving a launcher as i want to keep my samsung UI and launchers are too intrusive (I tried nova launcher) and they tend to edit everything on the phone, i only want to edit one app name/icon. Thanks !!
