There is a shortcut for the home screen. It look like a little house, as I can see it in the icon pack, but where is the actual shortcut to put on my home page? I have looked everywhere in the settings and can't find it. Can someone point me on the right direction please?

OK, so I think you're asking about an icon to take you to your homescreen... Correct?
If so, you long press on a blank spot on a homescreen, select launcher actions, move to default desktop. It won't have the little house icon, but it will do the job.
After you do what jtcarnes says, longpress the new icon, select edit, touch the current image, select ADWThem IconPacks, and the select the house/homeplate icone with the android in it.

I tried searching the forums to see if my question was already answered on this, but I couldn't find any that directly answered me, so here goes:
How does one go about changing what shorctus are in the bottom bar; where there are the 4 seemingly permanent shorcuts (Phone, Contacts, Messaging and Applications)? (or is this at all possible?)
Specifically, I'd love to be able to change the "Messaging" shortcut to be Handcent, my texting app of choice.
Thanks in advance!
Open Applications.
Hit Menu Key (bottom left).
Select Edit.
Drag stuff on and off of the launcher bar at the bottom.
Or get alot more fun options by installing a different launcher, I love GoLauncher.
That did it. Thanks so much for the reply! +Thanks for you!
Sense 4.0 Launcher Pro Theme
Hey everyone!
AdA here with the promised Sense 4.0 Launcher Pro layout.
*Features*
-authentic replica Sense 4.0 clock (Minus flip animation)
-HTC Icon set
-HTC Sense 4.0 Wallpaper
-(For those with Launcher pro plus) Dark Transparent sense look alike widgets
-Scrollable dockbar
And the best part is it works with any rom.
Rooted or unrooted? Doesnt matter!
This is in no way a Sense "port" just a themed version of Launcher pro!!! enough said.
Lets get down to business.
(1) First off download all 6 of these files to the root of your SD card.
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345437/launcherpro_backup.zip
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345438/Black_Sensus_4_Clock_Gnex.apk
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345441/HTC_HD_icons.zip
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345443/scene_wallpaper_htc_default.jpg
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345450/Sense_4_clock.apk
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345452/lunapic_133773859928208_2.png
(2) Extract the two Zip files with your choice of file manager program.(Do not change the directory just extract) I use ES File Explorer.
(3) Download Launcher Pro from the market and let it install. (If you want the transparent widgets seen in the pics you have to have Launcher Pro Plus)
(4) Press your HOME or HOUSE button to return to the Home screen. If launcher pro was installed then you should have been prompted to select a launcher when you pressed the home button. Choose Launcher Pro and set it as default.
(5)Now press your MENU button once you are at the HOME screen. (Generally on the far left at the bottom of most phones.) Select Preferences. Scroll to the bottom and select Restore Backup. Click yes or restart when prompted.
Halfway there!!!
(4) Navigate to the Root of your SD card with your file manager and select your choice of white or black Sense 4.0 Clock to install it. (You may have to select the unknown source option if prompted)
(5) Return to homescreen and hold press on the screen and select widgets. Select your Sense 4.0 widget you installed. You will have to resize it once its applied by hold pressing on it and to set up the weather and other settings go into your app drawer and select the Sense 4.0 clock you installed to set it up.
(6) Return to homescreen and hold press and select wallpaper. Choose gallery or whatever you use to select images and select the Sense 4.0 wallpaper I had you download.
(7) Now you are about done, you may have noticed that none of the icons work on the dock bar. There are by default 5 icons to the dockbar. I have three of them in the middle using a 100% TRANSPARENT Icon that you downloaded with the rest of the files (lunapic_133773859928208_2.png now located at the ROOT of your SD card)
If you swipe the dockbar to the left you will see five grey plus signs. That is for your second page of icons if you so choose to set multiple pages up.
Go back to the first page of icons.
The first icon on your RIGHT (the message bubble) Hold press it.
It will bring up "Edit Dock shortcut"
This is where you are free to customize what you want where on your dock bar.
Select change shortcut
select applications
and select what app you want to go there I had messaging by default but this is your choice.
Then choose custom icon
It should take you into your defualt gallery app. Locate the Sense Icons I had you download and choose the corresponding icon with the app you chose.
Done. That is the process to set up your shortcuts on the dockbar.
(8) The phone button in the middle has 3 seperate 100% transparent icons. Hold press on each one and select the phone app as the shortcut application. When it asks you to select an icon go back to CUSTOM ICON and find the lunapic_133773859928208_2.png (it comes up as a black blank square on my E4GT in the Gallery) select it and it will make the icon disappear but you can still select the phone.
I used the transparent icons as an overlay over the Dock Background to make the dock theme work right and look good.
That should be about it.
Play with it, Tweak it, Redistribute it, Whatever... just enjoy it.
and dont forget to say thanks if you like it!!!
Enjoy,
Ada

That's not Sense 4 though. At least not by the screenshots in the first post.

It's not intended to be exact. Just a theme for launcher pro that will give you the feeling of sense without the ram usage that follows.
Keep it crispy, :highfive:

Help - cannot move app icons or create folders on Home Screen.
I have had my Tab S 10.5 for 2 weeks now and realised that I cannot seem to move icons on the home screen or create folders on the home screen. When I hold-drag an icon on the home screen it says 'Tap Edit to rearrange widgets, shortcuts, or create folders' but I cannot find where the menu is for Edit etc. When I hold-drag on an empty part of the home screen I get the home screen highlighted with Wallpapers and Widgests at the bottom.
I can create folders in the app list and move to the home screen but get the same message when I hold-drag an icon to move into the folder.
Please can someone help me with this?
Thanks.

Yes I will be returning it this week to the JB Hifi I purchased it from. I will make sure I test for this issue before installing any updates.
Issue Resolved!
I have just found out how to create folders for the Home Screen and rearrange app icons on the Home Screen.
I was searching videos on YouTube and came across video tutorials for the S5 which helped me, to create folders you go to the apps screen then hold down an icon and drag it to the top left where 'create folder' should be and let go, then a folder will appear which you can name and after you save it the folder appears on the Home Screen, before you save you can also press on a + symbolto add more apps to the new folder.
To rearrange icons I don't know how I missed this, press the Home button to make sure you are on the Home Screen, then down the bottom right corner next to the Apps icon there is a pencil icon for Edit Page from here you can move app icons around and into existing folders.
I contacted Samsung live chat twice about this issue and they did not know how to resolve it and I was about to take my Tabs S back for a replacement!
Thanks for the replies to my post it is appreciated.
I bought a preloaded FTV so I dont know anything about how these are setup. I tired to search but I cannot find anything as Im sure Im using the wrong wording. Anyway, there is an Internet option on the XBMC home screen that was tied to FF browser. I wanted to change which app that button launches. How can I do that? I have the app already side loaded... Thanks!
I need to find out here the app is so I can assign the ' Default select action '
Depends on the skin, you can customise some skins and change the buttons around. It's under appearance and then skin settings, depends on the skin how it is implemented though.
What skin are you using? What do you want to add to the home screen menu?
ITs Aeon Nox. I did find where the options are to change button name, what shortcut to apply to it etc. Im going to assume that I need to use the Custom option and type in the location of it on the storage where its located. Since it'll be pulling the app from the FireTV side of the AFTv ( Its side loaded... ) The only way I can access it now is by going all the way back to AFTv screen and going to settings and all apps ( or something like that )

If you want a button for firefox in aennox just add firefox to your favorites, then select it from your favorites when setting up the button.
Or if your using Aeon Nox 4, you can add it directly to the Home screen.
Go to System > Appearance > Skin (Settings) > Custumizer (Main menu item customizer)
Then on the Main menu, select the item you want to add as a custom menu item and select it. If if has a red X on it, then select "disable" to enable it, then select "Choose Type".
Now select "Custom" and in the keyboard box type in:
StartAndroidActivity("your.app.apk")
So for example Netflix would be:
StartAndroidActivity("com.netflix.ninja")
You can do this for either the main menu item or for sub-menu items.
Thanks!!!
How do I add Firefox to my favorites
Or how do I find the directory where Firefox is so I can type it in the custom StartAndroidActivity section
Finally got iy. I had to go back into the Confluence ++ skin, add the app to my favorites and then go back into the custom Aeon Nox skin and then add the app from favorites...
Open S-Note. Open menu (three horizontal lines, top left). Bottom shopping cart: More features. Background image.
Yep, there, they are, the seven pretty backgrounds I downloaded while browsing a nice-sized library of options.
BUT HOW DO I USE THEM? No matter where I play around, I can't seem to find how to *use* one of the images! I can select it in the screen I just described, but then the only option is to delete it. I can change the background color of an action memo (wow, I'd really love an action memo with one of these backgrounds, but I guess not). I can change the template and cover in an S-Note, and change the defaults for those. But nothing lets me use a background image???
How do I use these things? And almost as importantly, now that I've run all over my phone trying to figure it out, where did I go to browse that lovely list and download the things in the first place?
I'd really love a link to a tutorial (article, video, whatever) if anyone could point me to one.
Thank you in advance!!!!
If I understand your question correctly...
With S-Note open to one of the individual pages, tap edit key, tap three dot menu button, tap page options, hit change background, select a background and tap apply.
