Is there any way to associate numbers to launch specific apps? Just like Cerberus does, but for any app I want?

I'm not sure I get your question exactly, but i feel the AppDialer app might help you.
Play store link: AppDialer
are you saying that you want a "dialer" on your home screen but instead of actually dialing, you want the number "1" to open an app, and the number "2" to open another app and so on?
if so, this is something fairly easily done using Nova launcher. place your apps on a 3xwhatever Grid, then just replace the icon with the numbers you want (obviously creating the transparent PNG image outside of the phone, then transfering it over to the Nexus. again, this is pretty simple to do if you are handy with PNG's and Nova. would literally take me about 30 minutes to do it from start to finish.
The typo on my post title probably made my question harder to understand.
1 - I don't want to replace my dialer nor launcher.
2 - I want it to work just like when you launch Cerberus (You dial a secret number, it intercepts the number and if it is the one configured to respond, opens the app.)
The code for doing this on a single app seems to be this: stackoverflow/questions/9390579
What I want is a gui to create a "custom number alias" for any app I want.
Ex: I associate gmail with 46845 (t9 for G M A I L). When I dial this number, the "launcher" intercepts the number and launch the associated app.
hmmm....sorry but i have not seen or heard of anything like this....but it isn't something i necessarily want so that could be why
When I select an area of the screen with the S-pen lasso, I can copy the image to the scrapbook.
However, this image doesn't show up in the gallery. (When I do a whole screen capture, it does show up there).
Is there any way to make the image captured show up in some folder on the gallery?
The reason I ask is that I'd like to import these images into Papyrus, and the image importer there only allows a limited number of apps to choose the image. One of them is gallery, so if Icould make the scrap appear in the gallery, that would solve my problem. Or, maybe there is some other app that works with Papyrus. For now, the best I found is exporting the scrap to Dropbox, and then pasting from Dropbox - a bit too coomplicated...

Long press on the image you want moved in Scrapbook and this pops up...

I use the Share Via function to put them into either LectureNotes or Snote. Papyrus doesn't come up in the window. If you are not "set" in using just Papyrus I'd give LectureNotes a shot

Nice! So I have to do the following operations:
1. Laso
2. Select scrapbook for receiving the image
3. open scrapbook app
4. long click on image for save in galery
5. open papyrus
6. select image tool, galery
7. import image from Scrapbook folder.
Almost bearable... is there any shortcut one can make (I notice you have scrapbook in a window. Maybe if I had scrapbook in one window and papyrus in another?)
I guess best is if Papyrus would accept scraps...

I use lecture notes quite a lot. But try this: download Adam Smith's "the wealth of nations" in pdf. Then import
it into a lecturenotes note. Painful It is 786 pages.
Import into Papyrus is almost instantenous. I think Papyrus keeps it in vector form. Which also means you can zoom in and still see nicely formed characters.

Can't you "copy" from Scrapbook and "paste" in to Papyrus? Failing that, see if "clipboard" is an import option in Papyrus. That's where the image will be after you copy it from Scrapbook.

No, as far as I can see, both of these don't work. Too bad...

When I lasso an image, I can see several options for saving it. One of those is the gallery, so why not just select it instead of scrapbook?

Strange... I don't see the gallery there. You just lasso with the S-pen button, and then get the option of save to gallery?

Maybe it depends what apps you have. Perhaps instead you could take a screenshot and crop it before you save. my gallery has a folder for edited images where these go if I do it that way.
Put ur image into Google drive, then import from there

Saving to Gallery isn't an option for me either.
Old note app
After reading all of these posts I am wondering if anyone has used the old note 10.1. I used my old note 10.1 for school. It worked very well but the digitizer broke and I upgraded to a 2014 version. It is a total disappointment. In the previous version when I last lasso'd something like an equation from a textbook all I had to do was wait a few seconds and the lasso'd image disappeared and saved directly to the clipboard. Then I could just go to lecture notes click Import image and it would be saved right there in the gallery. Why have I lost functionality with a newer tablet? Will a root fix this? Can I use the old note app and settings on my tablet? S note itself is garbage but the pin is awesome when it actually works. It just seems this Samsung is unlearning how to make tablets. All I want to do is lasso an image and have it saved directly to the clipboard.
@sendeth: The `lassoed´ material should show up when you select `Paste from non-standard clipboard´ in LectureNotes' `cutter´ menu.
?
First, I don't see that option anywhere. Second, pretty sure that won't matter since my issue is with saving, not pasting or recovering. To reiterate, this is something the old note did automatically.
Edit: I found the menu option. I will experiment with it. Still much clunkier than my old note.
Well once again, big greedy verizon has tried to take away features that our phones should include with the OS; One such feature is the Samsung Cloud Storage.
There are some recommendations on the forums and google on how to enable this app. You need to download an app called "Quick Shortcut Maker".
Once there open the app. In the search box type in "Samsung Cloud" and click on the drop down arrow.
The option you want SHOULD be the first option. It should be labeled com.samsung.android.scloud.app.ui.splash.SplashActivity This will display under the heading. Go ahead on click on it.
Next click on "try". It should open the app.
Once inside the app, click in the blue box to add the app to your app list. You can then delete the shortcut you created!
NOW, the first few times I tried this, it just failed. Either it would go to a black screen then immediately back to the quick shortcut screen, or it would crash with and error.
I was however able to use Nova Launcher shortcut in order to point to the same application and that got the program to work. Now when I try to use the Quick Shortcut Maker app, it works as intended.
I am not sure if anyone else is interested in using this feature, but it took me a moment to figure out how to get it to work, so I wanted to share with everyone else.
Feel free to add any other instructions or ways to accomplish the same task! I would be interested to see how to get the shortcut making app to work, as I know not everyone enjoys or uses Nova Launcher.
Basically looking for the photo editor app package name since I removed it and the gallery app to use different apps.
I restored the gallery, but now when I want to edit a photo, tapping on the pencil prompts me to download an app, but then I get a "no apps available to complete this action"
How about re-mapping the pencil icon to open another photo editor app? Is that possible?
Thanks!
Hi there
Whenever I install an app a new page gets created and the shortcut for app goes on that page, even though the three pages/screens already have a lot of space left.
Is there a setting somewhere which would stop adding the shortcut after creating a new screen.
Launcher and all settings are factory based with original Samsung firmware.
Thank you for your time.
Go to home settings and untick "Add apps to home screen". That way whenever you install a new app, no shortcut is created. If you still want to have a shortcut made but limited to adding to current screens instead of creating a new page, I have no idea on that.

I know how to disable, what I'm looking for is how to get shortcuts on current page.
