I recently rooted my tablet and I am looking for a way to change the "My Files" shortcut in bottom left of the touchwiz launcher to launch another file manager.
Anyone have any ideas? (other than using another launcher)
Nope, u cant

I have installed the "car home" from market, but how can I start it rather than place into a car-dock? I remember there is an app shortcut when I was using the CM6 ROM.
I have a shortcut in the App Drawer called Car Panel.
I remember the shortcut disappeared with the upgrade to gingerbread. If your using adw launcher you can create a custom shortcut to car home.
Hi all,
I use Zeam launcher because of its lightness, but there's unfortunately no option for adding custom shortcuts to your homescreens.
For example, when using ADW I put a shortcut directly to the alarm, without having to click on Clock > Alarm. Seems that I can't do that with Zeam.
So, I downloaded an app called Custom Shortcuts, but I must say it's quite weird. When I click on it, I have access to the most recent tasks but it seems that I need to know the URI of the activity I want to put a shortcut to, and I don't know those URI...
Could anyone help, please? Thanks!
I think Any Cut may be what you're looking for

i installed the newest version of 'flash player' and it put an app named "flash player settings". it uses a html browser to open it. ive fill it out and no longer want it in ny app drawer, how do i remove it?
Depending on what ROM/launcher you're running you may or may not be able to remove it.
If you are using an aftermarket launcher such as Launcher Pro, GO Launcher or ADW, you should be able to go into settings and hide certain apps from the app drawer. If you are using a Sense ROM or the stock android launcher then you won't be able to remove the icon without removing the app.
If it really bothers you and you aren't using a custom launcher, you could always downgrade to an earlier flash version that didnt automatically install the settings app.

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!
The icon for android's Files app (the one with white folder on blue background icon) disappeared after the April update. The app is still installed on my phone, but it's not in the app drawer?
Is anyone else having the same problem? And how can I fix this?
There's 2 "Files" apps.
1 becomes "Files Go" or "Google Files" and has the cleanup stuff.
The other isn't really a file manager but a file picker (used by other apps). The name is com.android.documentsui.
The second one no longer has an icon. I'm not sure it ever should have had an icon.
If you've got a custom launcher or a widget thing, you can create a launcher for the FilesActivity of the Files app. It won't be in the app drawer though.
The files app you're talking about is still built-in to the system, weird thing is you can only open it by installing a 3rd party launcher. When you install another launcher it's in the app drawer, but stock launcher (I have no idea why) hides it and makes you use the Files Go app.
I just got Nova launcher and still can't access the app. Weird..
