You mean bookmarks or people (contacts)?

I mean, the screen that originialy are directly to the right of the homescreen. Where you can add up to 9 people. I would like to call that my favorites, but. hehe.

Press and hold on the screen, add the 'People' widget, select the group to be displayed as 'Favourites'

Thank you! :-D

Remove Voicemail Icon

Everytime I put down a widget for friends or coworkers etc... It shows orange voicemail Icon, which I do not want on there.
Is there anyway to remove it, or is it the de-branding lark again?
Any Ideas?
No-one??? this is using the HTC people widget by the way!!!
Is there a way of dragging one of the people out of the widget, instead of binning the whole widget?
I think it might be to do with the type of number you have it stored as.
Go into people, then go to the contact and click menu. Then click more, then choose widget action and select if you want to view contact (i think this is the option causing you grief) call mobile, or new message.
To remove it from favourites on that widget you click the contact in people, then menu and edit, then untick favourites in the group box.
I had the same problem and the only way to remove it is to goldcard and load unbranded rom. Orange really murdered the desire with there crap, who comes up with this **** is what I want to know.
I think i may have solved it, if you fill up the contact board, then click the plus button, add a new contact and it should remove the icon!

That's the People (HTC) widget
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Relax... not a big deal.
You by accident... dragged the widget to the trash can.
To get it back...
Touch a blank spot on the screen.. till a widow pops up to add.
Select widgets.. look for the desired widget
Done

Did you put its face on a milk carton? I hear that tends to help in cases like these.
Ha ha ha good stuff guys and thanks again for your help!!!

Contacts Widget App - Non Scrolling

As above, I'm looking for a contacts widget that will work with 2.3.3. Does anyone know of any? I've tried a half dozen or so from the market but they either don't work, or don't work the way I want them to.
I'm just looking for a non-scrolling sense type one. I don't want to install any launchers or anything like that, I'm happy with the phone as it is in that respect, so I would rather have a static one.
The closest one to the mark was Contact Widget, it looked the part but was very buggy. It was meant to show 20 contacts at any one time but after I had selected the 20, it then only displayed 4 and pretty much froze. Not sure if that's a 2.3.3 issue or not.
Any recommendations?
If you want one that's non-scrolling, I would suggest not installing anything. Just add shortcuts to your contacts on the home screen. You can also put them into a folder if you so choose.

Thanks for that, 2 years I've been running android and didn't know that lol.
I eventually found and sorted out elixir which does the job nicely.

How to edit icon labels/text?

Sorry, this is such a simple question. But it seems that anyone wanting an answer to this question has not found it entirely. I want to do this to shorten some icon names due to shortage of space, etc. Or maybe just a more descriptive label (ok, maybe just to me ). I mean how hard can it be? I just want to change the text, not the icon. I'm interested in procedures or apps. If you can help me, thank you.
Have you tried go launcher
From the 2nd galaxy

Yes, Go Launcher allows you to rename your app icons. It's an awesome launcher in terms of customization.
On Nova it's a long press and hit edit. My favorite launcher btw...

Yes, how hard can it be? I dont want to install a new launcher and I have tried a couple of the icon changer apps but not getting anywhere.
Any help at all would be appreciated...

Wow, that worked, "S Planner" now is Calendar. (How the name change to S Planner got thru qa I dont know).
Next bit of the problem is that I have shortcut icons that when pressed ask for which browser. In desktop visualizer I need to pick the application. I cant find the 'shortcut' app. Hope this makes sense...
Desktop Visualizer is good

Homescreen Wallpaper Won't Move Left or Right?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is an established problem but my wallpaper homescreen doesn't move when I switch between the homescreens. Can someone help me with this? Thanks!

When you assign a picture as your homescreen you'll need to configure it to scroll left and right, what rom are you using and what launcher?
When I was using GingerBread it was a sinch to setup a scrolling wallpaper, it set itself up to scroll and I loved it ... Got into ICS/JB and all of a sudden it was a pain...
What I did to workaround it is installed Wallpaper wizard and it set the pictures I wanted to scroll ....
It's a difficult app to use as I have a lot of pictures, but I set it once, backed it up with Titanium Backup and haven't had to touch it since.
