I do not know if it was the Oreo update or something else but I can no longer add shortcuts to web sitesthat I refer to alot. Admittedly I have lot short cuts on two home screens but I use them like bookmarks because I find it easier (is there a limit). Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I could use a couple more pages but while I see how I can remove unwanted pages I do not see how to add them assuming you can. Anyone know if this is possible? Yes I did search, yes I am aware there are other launchers and quite familiar with them. I find I like touch wiz once most of the annoying wiz is removed and I'm trying to give it a go. Already figured out moving home to center but with a four by four layout I cant quite get all the icons/widgets setup that I use.
Alternatively I suppose if it is possible to adjust the number of rows and columns going to a 4 by 5 like I do with LP and ADW would work too. Didn't find that in a search either.
Shameless bump.
Hi guys.
I just wondered if I can make one of my homescreens an actual web page? What I want is to have all my apps on homescreen 3, but then swipe to homescreen 2 and have a specific webpage already open there in full screen.
Is this possible at all, please? Thanks in advance.
I can see this being very useful now you brought it up, espeically for business use on the go. Theoretically someone could easily code a widget like 8x4 size and display the webpage in it. I'd like to see someone implement that in one of the browser apps
It's technically possible with a widget that uses android.webkit.WebView, but I have found no apps on the market that do it.
I can't stand putting bookmarks on the homescreen and having them show up as ribbons. On my gnex the favicons became the homescreen icons. How can I do that? I've tried alternate browsers but the same thing happens - occasionally I'll get a ribbon with a small favicon inside but that's not what I want... Thanks.

[UPDATE] Thanks everyone for no help whatsoever... I figured out that in order to do it you have to bookmark it and then go to the bookmark and add it to the homescreen. No idea why it doesn't work straight from the page and add to homescreen.
Bump...?
Seriously? No one?
So here is the idea, a X-Cross Media Bar (XMB) style interface launcher that can be used on android devices, phones or tablets, but I plan on using it on my N7 since I use a Bluetooth keyboard I use for remote desktop and chrome and a pc xbox controller for games from time to time I have been trying to figure out how to make a decent android home screen that interacts like the XMB controls wise but have come up short.
I have found quite a few threads and other pages for stuff like this that has moved nowhere in the past and was hoping you guys might be able to get something in some sort of solution to my desire for a clean interactive interface. The closest thing i have, thanks to one of my friends who first came up with the idea but I have obsessively been trying to find a way to perfect, is using Nova launcher with folders set to tap to open a set app and swipe up to open the folder and a custom icon based off a PS3 theme pack I took the images from all arranged in an XMB style (picture linked) with the Wave Life Wallpaper to give it that PSP/PS3 look.
Basically all I want is an interface that interacts like the XMB, can be controlled either with directional buttons or by swiping across the screen (or tapping the icon of what you want if possible). But the big kicker here is that it has to support each column set acting as a customizable folder, like in Nova, and a standard app drawer where you can see all your apps. I don't even care if this requires xposed, a different launcher, and widgets, I want it and have done everything short of trying to code it myself. (probably not a good idea, I'm a network guy, not a good programmer)
All the pages I have come across in search of the pot of gold:

The second to last one was a launcher somebody made, and believe it or not runs on 5.0.2, but has some issues and does not really let you change anything. The last Link is an actually functional one but does not allow for much customization.
What I am thinking of is more of a launcher that allows you to create columns for certain things and select which apps fill them like a folder does, allows you to have whatever wallpaper (static, scrolling, live) and has customization options. If somebody out there can program this and get it working I would pay for it. It just seems like such a usable interface for when using a controller, keyboard, or even on a touchscreen as a way different way to have everything organised. Although a standard app drawer would still be nice to avoid having every app in a column and just the ones you frequently use (I basically want an XMB in place of multiple desktops on the home screen)
Just let me know if anybody can help me figure this out.
Hi,
I recently upgraded to Oos Android 6 Marshmallow. I am enjoying the new Shelf feature which oneplus offers. I do have some questions though that I thought others would find useful if answered in a thread.
I know some people have mentioned shelf has a refresh issue, that it doesn't auto update widgets pinned to it, example: weather. Are any of you experiencing this, if so, is there any way to fix it?
For what I use shelf for, its pretty basic, and all I really need. I would however like to remove the recently used apps widget and attach a favorite app widget where I can pin the apps I want. Is there any way to customize shelf to pin the apps I select or to use a app pinning widget to show the apps i want(I couldn't find an app pinning widget on play store) on shelf?
Last question, Has any developer here played around with shelf, tried customizing it or added any needed features to it? If so I would be curious to know the changes you made or any releases.
Impossible to modify or tweak Shelf....
To change what is in the panel, you have to long press on it or on the icon to modify.
Then swipe left or right the widget you want to erase. (sorry not really precise, but don't have OOS anymore...)
On the 3.1.4 version, no problem with shelf for me.
But you should erase all "launcher 3"'s datas and reset it if you have some.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for the reply, Why is it impossible to tweak shelf?
I am on 3.1.4 and I haven't experienced any refresh issues yet, I was more curious if others were experiencing any. I know how to change the widgets and customize the panel, but like i said instead of recent apps I want favorite apps. Since shelf doesn't have this feature by default I assumed the best way would be to get a app from google play which allows you to pin apps to a widget on your home screen, then you could just use that widget in shelf. I haven't been able to find an app that does this though, If anyone knows of any, please post them in this thread.
It's too much inserated in the OnePlus system to be modified.
