I noticed that about 2 weeks ago I couldn't add shortcuts to desktop.
Eg. from file manager, add folder shortcut to desktop
Eg. from Chrome, add site shortcut to desktop
Don't know why or how to fix it. I'm using the stock rom, without any launcher customizations.

Hey guys,
Is it possible to link folders to Desktop Visualizer. As it seems to me that it only gets linked to one application.
Thanks.
Hi!
Just get the app Folder Organizer and you will be able to choose the folder as a shortcut.
Hmmm. I seem to be unable to add shortcuts in Go Launcher on one of my Kindle Fires.
Installed everything (root, framework, google apps and go launcher) via Kindle Fire Utility 0.91 multiple times - no dice.
I also noticed that the Kindle Fire app does not start. Tap on it ... nothing.
Looking for a solution also, same with ADW. Just installed Go hopping short cuts would work as I would like to put a few bookmarks on my home screen.
Same here: want to put some bookmarks on the home screen

I have Folders Organizer on my KF. I can add shortcuts by using Widgets Folder Organizer Items and then use one of it's shortcuts (you can create your own). Works fine.
I am using a Stock Rooted ROM with ADW.
Application Folder will allow you to make a bookmarks shortcut.
+1 for Folders Organizer. I can't imagine my KF without it.
I tried both Application Folder and Folder organizer, but didn't get it to work the way I wanted. I then found VCut Shortcut, which works great for me.
To create a shortcut, you have to make a bookmark in the Amazon browser (Opera didn't work for me), start VCut, go to Bookmark, long-press the desired bookmark, choose Create shortcut to Home.
Another +1 for Folders Organizer. Very helpful app.
Is there a way to save a shortcut on one of the home panels to:
1) open a file such as a saved PDF?
2) open a saved bookmark on internet browser?
Or are we only able to save shortcuts to apps and Widgets?

The short answer is yes you can

I responded to this once with great detail on how to do it, but when I went to post, the site was down and all was lost. Now you get the short version.
With ADW Launcher you can add shortcuts. Get free or paid version of ADW and have a file manager. I use Astro File Manager. When you add a shortcut, choose ASTRO and it will open the app. Then simply choose your file.
This feature and not being able to have my 5x5 grid is why I don't use Touch Wiz.
I think you can do this by downloading ES File explorer, with any launcher, rom, etc. Just navigate to the file with ES file explorer, then long hold it, and then choose create shortcut. I know that works for videos, PDF's, and other document like things, but probably not for webpage shortcuts. For that, you should be able to just add those using the stock launcher, or any other launcher by long holding the screen, and selecting add shortcut, then from there choosing the bookmark.
Tried this with ES and it works! I might be one step closer to using TouchWiz.
Why do I need a signature when I use the XDA app?
Got them all to work. Thanks for the tips guys. Each one was a success.
Usually, I can install a widget into the home page that is a shortcut into a specific dropbox folder, but it doesn't seem to appear in the list of widgets on the Z1 Compact using the stock launcher. (Yes, I have installed dropbox.) Also, there isn't a single icon bookmark shortcut listed amongst the widgets, possibly because the Z1C doesn't ship with the stock Android browser? Any ideas on either of these? Thanks!
Open the launcher settings-select apps then select shortcuts. On that part you should be able to see what your looking for.

Great, thanks!
I'm trying to create a folder shortcut from a zooper widget.
I'm using ROM toolbox pro and Nova launcher.
I can select folder shortcut from the on tap option.
I then select my folder I'd like to shortcut to and nothing.
Well not nothing actually. It creates a shortcut on my home screen? Any ideas?
Can anyone offer any advice?
