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.

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.

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.

Sorry, this is such a simple question. But it seems that anyone wanting an answer to this question has not found it entirely. I want to do this to shorten some icon names due to shortage of space, etc. Or maybe just a more descriptive label (ok, maybe just to me ). I mean how hard can it be? I just want to change the text, not the icon. I'm interested in procedures or apps. If you can help me, thank you.
Have you tried go launcher

Yes, Go Launcher allows you to rename your app icons. It's an awesome launcher in terms of customization.
On Nova it's a long press and hit edit. My favorite launcher btw...
edit icon labels

Yes, how hard can it be? I dont want to install a new launcher and I have tried a couple of the icon changer apps but not getting anywhere.
Any help at all would be appreciated...

Wow, that worked, "S Planner" now is Calendar. (How the name change to S Planner got thru qa I dont know).
Next bit of the problem is that I have shortcut icons that when pressed ask for which browser. In desktop visualizer I need to pick the application. I cant find the 'shortcut' app. Hope this makes sense...
Desktop Visualizer is good

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

DesktopVisualizer does exactly this!
Hello all. I'm trying to configure my weather widget to use a specific city instead of current location. I'm under the impression that if I manually set the location instead of using current location, weather will update without location settings being turned on (correct me if I'm wrong). However the prompt to change the location is too small and I can't scroll down to select the other options or even hit save (see image). How do I get around this? Thanks.

I have not solved this problem, unfortunately. I just have to live with it.
Maybe use WeatherACE plugin with Tasker? Then pass variable to Zooper?

You're doing better than I am. I can't even see what I type in for location. I can use the spell check to make sure I'm entering everything in right, but I still get no results back. No matter what I do, I can't get current weather to match anything close. Even if I select Yahoo for the source, and download the Yahoo Weather app, they give different results.
Can anyone help me, not sure if this is possible but thought id ask.
Anyway to change the layout of albums in gallery?
Anyone know how to get rid of this annoying notification?
Anyway to change the layout of bookmarks in the stock browser?

Anyway to get rid of youtube adds without being rooted. I dont want to pay for their subscription.

I will try that thank you.
Anyone else? Would be much appreciated.
The keyboard notification should be killable by looking pressing the notification and disabling notifications for the keyboard. Works for the Google keyboard. Don't know about Samsung/others.
This links to a system wide add blocker. In theory it should catch everything. I pay for All access/YouTube Red, so i can't tell you if it blocks those ads but seems to work elsewhere.

With the phone, you can just push dialer button instead of searching and it supports old school T9 (?) text entry to quickly get to a contract as well. Didn't see a setting to go straight into it though. You might be able to do it with a Nova activity. I'm sure a third party dialer app or maybe even a widget would be able to do it too.
For the task killer, I just use Android's built in app switcher if I need to close anything. Swipe away individual apps or close all with one button.
Not sure I understand your "edge color of choice"question, but you can assign contacts to the five provided colors if you're talking about "people edge".
Hope this helps.
