[Q] Create an activities shortcut to take a picture with your camera - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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.

[Q] LauncherPro dock icon customisation without Gallery3d. Possible?

I've been trying to replace the Gallery app with Just Pictures.
However I use LauncherPro and when using it to change the default icons in the dock, LauncherPro defaults to the Gallery app.
When the Gallery app is not installed, it claims there are no pictures on the phone at all.
Anyone know a solution?
I was wondering about this also... but about Picture Folder, so I've contacted the developer if he could somehow add an option to set default wallpaper or that is shown in this menu, but didn't get an answer.
It's related to the framework of SGS i guess, but i'm pretty sure someone knows something about this and i've already used the search button and couldn't get an answer.
So if maybe somebody knows anything about this, could you please share the info, or at least point us to the right direction
EDIT:
Picture Folder has been updated and is now called QuickPic and it has an option to set wallpaper, but it's still not shown in LP for icon selection...

Could anyone explain to me how to use the 'Custom Shortcuts' app?

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

[Q] How to remove the "videos" icon from app drawer?

I have tried deleting com.htcstreamplayer.apk from /system/app but the icon in question is still there. I searched on the internet and found a thread talking about the icon is part of htcmusic.apk, so I deleted that too and it is still there.
The persistence of such icons makes me want to free my app drawer of it more badly! So if you can show me how to do it, I am much obliged!
Hello !
I have "upped" the topic because I have the exact same question.
I have rooted my device and was able to delete HTCMusic.apk and a lot more, but I am unable to find which .apk file or which application is launched when the "Videos" icon is pressed.
I would like to froze the application related to that icon. I know it's possible because I've done that for the "Miror" icon (which is in fact a component of the Camera application) in order to make it disappear from the drawer.
Can you help us please ?
Thanks in advance. (Sorry for my English, I'm French).
The solution
Hi all,
I'm sorry to double-post but I've found a solution for those who are still interested (I have an HTC ChaCha, but I believe it also works for Desire HD).
You must download an app remover from the Google Play Store, which includes a feature called "Freeze", and which is able to disable application components.
For example I have paid for ROM ToolBox Pro (it includes the Advanced Freeze feature).
The component used by Video icon is in fact packed into the "Gallery" application : .TabPluginDevice.ActivityAllVideos, you can disable it safely.
After .TabPluginDevice.ActivityAllVideos is disabled, the Videos icon disappears from the drawer.

I can confirm this on my Nexus 4. I'm not 100% sure but my theory is, that because Zooper doesn't have the "CALL_PHONE" permission it is not allowed to initiate a call without going through the dialer (Source). I have no experience in this but since even launcher have that permission, it might be needed for an app to use the direct call shortcuts. You should probably write an email to the developers and explain your issue.
Emailed Zooper Dev
I've got a rooted Galaxy Note 3, is it possible to edit any file to provide this permission until the dev sorts it for us?
In the meantime, I've created a flow in Automagic, that I launch from the Zooper widget to provide a direct call option.
Mark.
Re
Somehow I do not understand. Could you provide the download?
You need an app called Automagic https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.gridvision.ppam.androidautomagic

Another option is to just change the icon to something you want. Upload your out image or use some icon that you like. I use Nova as my launcher on my Galaxy S3 Progre, created a direct call widget, and then changed the image to what I wanted it to be. Just a work around if you're interested.
