hey guys,
anyway to change the name of an app, how it will show in the app drawer?
i dont want to turn to using a different launcher or anything like that. and i've read you might have to do some work inside the app (developer) but i cant find the steps or anything.
thanks for any help

I found an app called banner that lets me put a banner widget on a page. But the app only lets you make one widget. I was wondering if there is a way to install it multiple times to create multiple widgets. I tried changing ether named of the .apk but obviously that didn't change anything. How can I get this working?
TIA
I'm sure this is pretty easy. Does anyone know what I need to change to be able to install the same .apk multiple times??
Sorry, I realize my first post had some weird typos... I was on my phone and in a hurry.

There is a setting in the manifest that sets the widget to "singleInstance"
Do what you will with that info.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to change the icon for handcent app.
I open the archive
Change the ic_handcent.PNG to the icon I want...
Sign the apk and put the signed apk onto my SD card.
I can install the app and open it up to the conversation list fine. But when I try to open a conversation window or go into the settings the screen goes black for a split second and then goes back to the conversation list again making the app pretty useless.
Does any one know why this is happening. Am I maybe doing something wrong when editing or is this just a third party app that just doesn't like being messed with.
Thanks for any help

Does anyone know how to create a shortcut that will automatically take a picture with the built in camera? Or even a 3rd party camera? I can not find a way with the built in activities of apex launcher or using anycut. Is it possible to do this?
I recon Tasker can do something like this.
I checked out Tasker pretty thoroughly (and I have used it in the past a little) and I can't find any way to do it. Does anyone else know of anything? There has to be a way to get the activity name from somewhere and I can do a custom activity with Tasker or another app.
Maybe try Uva Silent Widget. I have it installed, but haven't used it yet.
EDIT: Never mind, it doesn't support the Galaxy Nexus.

Hello everybody!!
I have a question about setting the default browser on my Galaxy S III, Im currently using Dolphin Browser and I know about the option in the settings to make it the default browser. But when I use the default "Web" Icon on the homescreen it still opens the Browser that came with the phone. I tried downloading apps that "change" the default apps used but still opens the wrong one... I had gotten this to work for my other S III and Galaxy Note before i had to return it due to a dead pixel but ive had no luck in getting it working again... if anybody knows anything on how to get this set correctly i would greatly apprecaite it!!
Thanks in advanced!!

Tried Settings, App Maanger, All, Internet, Clear Defaults?
Yes I have tested that, but when I go to the Internet app it says that their is no default app set

Oh, wait. I think I misunderstood your question. You want the globe icon that says internet to open Dolphin? Not sure if that is very feasible.
That icon is like an icon on your computer (I.e. it is not a shortcut). That icon is specifically for the stock internet app.
But, it's probably possible. I would start a new thread about how to change icons of apps. I use Nova Launcher and I can rename icons, but not change the picture. But, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me know how.
It is possible I've done it before but I am not able to recall how I did it lol

Oh.
Well, if you don't figure it out, I found this today: http://android.appstorm.net/how-to/...guide-to-customizing-your-home-screen-icons/
EDIT:
DesktopVisualizer does exactly this!
Guys,
Got the Note 2, an amazing machine...
Got one question though: It seems like you can make folders in the app drawer, so I did. But now I am faced with not being able to move any apps to that folder, not can I delete the folder. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
Please not I am talking about the app drawer, not about the home screens.
did u press menu - edit before organising your folder?

Yeah I had the same problem and had to play around to find the solution. In the app drawer, hit menu>edit. Then in edit mode you can move apps to folders/delete folders/uninstall apps etc.
