Have decided to do a small tutorial on adding folder shortcuts to the excellent Launcher 7 home screen replacement by Timo Kujala.

I have used Desktop VisualizeR to create the shortcut icons and Apps Organizer for the pop-ups but any suitable shortcut app will do.

First of all download and install your shortcut app then set up your folder shortcuts.

Next create the folder widget in Desktop VisualizeR on the home screen: menu > Add widget > Desktop VisualizeR > 1x1 Small (for square icons) then choose the tile properties and Create tile.

Finally click on the resulting widget, choose your icon and using Select Action > Other > 'shortcut app' select shortcut. Define other properties and OK.

Done.

Edit

Been having a look at it and it seems that between them Launcher 7 and Desktop VisualizeR don't really handle the use of 2x1 icons for widgets that well.

The trick is to do it as previously explained but when you get to choosing the widget layout in DV.. choose 4x4. In L7 then choose 2x1 tile size, whatever background but for the next option make sure you leave Full-tile widget unticked and then Create tile.

You then have to resize your 2x1 icon, size don't seem to be too important but for whatever your 2x1 size is you need to square it off. For example if you're using a 230x120 image you need to resize it to 230x230 (i would save it to .png format just to be on the safe side). If it doesn't come out right then just play around with the original icon size

For resizing on Windows platform i use BIMP Lite which works really well for me.

The other steps would be the same as before and this method is obviously only for an horizontal tile.

Launcher Shortcuts

To link to other launchers from Launcher 7 try this:

Install Desktop VisualizeR -> Go to L7 and Add Widget. Choose DV and add widget for icon as per the above.

Go to L7 desktop and click on the resulting widget, click on Select Icon and choose icon image.

To link to alternative launcher click on Select Action -> Other -> Activities and that will give you a list of all the apps on your phone.

Scroll to your chosen launcher and click on it, this will show you a drop-down list of all the activities for that app. the link you need is usually the first one and in the case of Launcher Pro is 'com.fede.launcher.Launcher' select that.

This will take you back to DV where you can choose whether you want an icon label or not and so on... ok this and you will go back to L7 home screen. If the widget image is not displayed then you just need to refresh the home screen.

Hope this helps.

Update:

Live folders now added to Donate version of app from market. Please support the dev and further development.

I cant get the images to fill out the whole tile...
[Android Themes] t3xtid:
Are you using Desktop VisualizeR to create the widget's icon (1x1 Small)? What is the icon source you're using? and are you enabling the tick for 'Full-tile widget'. You also need to be creating a widget rather than long pressing the icon in the app drawer.

If you're doing all that and still not working then let me know exactly what you're doing and what apps you're using and i'll try to help further.

Thanks and hope that helps. :)
[Android Themes] Fekke:
So its just the 1x1 widget im going to use? Becouse i wanne make an 2x1 widget. But the images aint getting in the whole tile. I have checked so the resolution of them is correct
[Android Themes] t3xtid:
Sorry didn't realize you were doing 2x1. Been having a look at it and it seems that between them Launcher 7 and Desktop VisualizeR dobn't really handle the use of 2x1 icons for widgets that well.

I'll add these extra steps (done on a HTC Desire HD) to the original post but good luck and hope it works for you.

help

im having trouble with this. im using app organizer and desktop visualizer exactly as intruscted.....when i tap the tile the folder works n all. but the tile still has the desktop visualizer picture and wont change
[Android Themes] t3xtid:
The only thing i can think of is you just need to refresh the home screen.. that issue should be fixed in the new update of Launcher 7 (1.0.0.81). If it's not that that then i'm stumped cos you can't create the widget without defining the image and action. :confused:

Let me know if there's any change.
[Android Themes] saabster900:

Hi to all,

anyone knows how to edit existing folder with apps? I have created one folder with apps, and now i can only add this one folder to the tile (main screen). I cant seem to edit which apps are inside the folder neither i can delete this folder. When i choose "Add special tile-> Folder tile" i can just choose this one folder i have created. Help!
[Android Themes] t3xtid:
What you need is Menu -> Launcher7 settings and swipe across to the Folders tab. From there you can add a new folder or edit an existing folder by clicking on it. Hope that's what you're looking for :)

Is the batterie the problem or something else?
[XPERIA X10 General] GreatBigDog:
Yesterday I had a 2+ hour phone call while on the charger and mine barely was warm but I wasn't holding the phone either.

Last night I was Downloading a large file, Listening to music and playing a game while on the charger and although the phone was warm, it didn't shut down.
[XPERIA X10 General] Thyra7:
do you have any app to see the temp?
[XPERIA X10 General] GreatBigDog:
No I don't, never had any reason to use one.

[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Yeah whenever I play glow hockey when the phone is charging, temp goes to 56 degrees and thereabouts! Have to power off phone and wait for a while.

Temp doesn't go up if its not being charged.

Also, this didn't happen in stock SE. Only on Wolfbreak's CM

Hello.

Sorry about the way to write this message. I do not speak English. I have translated the text using Google Translate.

I want to remove from the startup screen "No hay citas". It is marked in red in the first photo attached.

With Co0kie Home Tab can be done, as shown in the second photo attached.

But I do not want to install Co0kie Home Tab, for my HTC Touch HD works slower.

Can I remove "No hay citas" with another method? Maybe changing something in the registry?

Thanks and regards.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fighter_MA:
Maybe I forgot to provide more information.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeDCMDVA:
My girlfriend has a Samsung Captivate and she can send me SMS/MMS but I cannot send her.

I have called AT&T Tech Support and also T-Mobile Tech Support, nobody can give me solid answers or resolutions.

Our workaround is to use that TiKL Touch2Talk Application for messaging, but this is simply annoying!

Anyone? Ideas? Also, anyone wish to PM me a phone number if they use AT&T so I can test with your line?

Thanks a lot guys,

Michael

What phone are you using and through what carrier and also what firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeDCMDVA:
I am using the Samsung Galaxy S 4G with T-Mobile.

Stock firmware, haven't flashed anything. Its out of box.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Try going into Settings/Wireless and Network/Mobile Network Settings and then Access Point Names.

See if there's an APN showing T-MOBILE US then underneath epc.tmobile.com

If there's nothing then click the menu key on the bottom left and select New APN.

Either way make sure it matches these settings.

I sent an MMS just fine, but SMS is still not working! :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
here's a work around. remove the dashes from the contacts phone number when sending MMS.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Seanathan:
I've had the same issue when my friend (on the iphone) and I try to send mms to each other.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeDCMDVA:
First, removing the dashes definitely does not work, lol.

IPhone also, that sucks, Mann I don't know where to turn for this one...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
I'm referring to sending MMS messages. MMS has always been an issue even on the Vibrant. Oh BTW! removing the dashes is one of the quick fix that you can do to fix the MMS sending issue! if you use the search bar you will see what i'm talking about... soo search around this forum instead of asking and laughing at the someone who is trying to help with your situation. I suggest go find help somewhere else! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeDCMDVA:
Not laughing at you, just laughing at how there isn't really any information about this...I have never had a problem like this before with any phone....

Hello!

I want to install a new costum rom: [ROM] 2.2.1 MiniCM-1.0.0-Beta2.1 port for x8

I have a costum rom from racht alredy installed on my x8 device.

Question:

If i want to install a new costum rom, do I have to restore my stock/original rom to device before installing that rom? Or can i just install that rom?

Leaf
[XPERIA X8 General] kirilito:
No, you can flash roms one over another. Even if they are compatible, you can make "advanced recovery" and flash only the system part, so you keep your programs, contacts, call logs etc.
[XPERIA X8 General] leaftheberry:
So if i have a 2.3.3 CM X8 J005 HACKDROID i can install update.zip onto it?
[XPERIA X8 General] kuyagaol:
yes. switching Rom is an easy part with xrecovery.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
If your rom was created/last updated prior to march 2011 its safe to assume you are not protected.

Now I begin to understand why Apple rules with such a big iron fist...

It's too bad that there are people out there with such malicious intentions.. :(
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
Just to clarify,

I have a couple of these apps installed.

If I flash the .zip does it fix the vulnerability?

Do I need to uninstall the apps as well?
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
According to what I've read the only fix if your already infected is to flash stock and start from scratch. The exploit can download new code. I'm no expert, I just made the zip to share it on our forum.

P.s. It was sexy legs wasnt it? Tell us the truth!
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
LMAO, no, I play guitar.......
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
If you have a file explorer with root access you can browse to /system/bin, if there is already a file there named "profile"(prior to installing this zip) you might already infected.

Edit: Possible that your rom dev may have already included this patch. Check with them first.
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
Yup, its there.....

Back to stock I go...

Thanks for the heads up!
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Just make sure you either create this file there on your own with the right permisions rw-r-r or install this zip before you start reloading apps.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
So I have the profile thing in /system/bin, so this means I have an infection?
[Captivate Android Development] nickm50:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Dev's were including this fix in their roms?

So if your running a non-stock rom, you may already be protected and have that file.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Very possible that some devs have this included. Check with them. I run andromeda most of the time and it did not have it. Actually a good thing you brought that up, best to ask them before deciding you are actually infected. Might save some flashes.

That or look inside the zip for your rom in the /system/bin folder, if its there odds are they added it.
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
Yeah, also mine shows 0.0kb size so it would be empty already correct?
[Captivate Android Development] nickm50:
That is correct.

The fix places a dummy file in that directory. So you may be protected..........

Check with the Dev that made the rom you are using.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Actually, mine is showing as 0 bytes as well, and I remember mikeymike saying he added it
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
I updated the first post. Im sure there would have been a decent hunk of people thinking they were infected when they were not. Still a very good idea to make sure your 100% sure you are protected. This isnt some little worthless virus, it has the potential to be very bad.
[Captivate Android Development] js22:
Yes, but how can we be sure that your "one blank file" doesn't contain any exploits ?:D

But seriously, just to understand, as long as we add a file named /system/bin/profile then the exploit can't work ?
[Captivate Android Development] Red_81:
I'm running the latest version of Cog and I don't see this file in there. I would suggest all Cog users run this patch because I don't think DG has it patched.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
well because it's blank lol. But yes to the best of my knowledge, for any app that you already have. Since the fix they could have already created a different method. Only real way to avoid a virus is to use your better judgment when installing apps. There is currently no patch for lack of better judgment.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
So you said Gingerbread roms SHOULD BE okay? I am on CM7 and decided to check and didn't have a system/bin/profile in there. Should I add it anyways? Or is that roms with the fix may ha e it fixed differently or somewhere else in the rom? Now to check my other cappy's for the file also.

So if I am understanding this correctly, if it IS there but has 0.0bytes then most likely already patched, if it IS there and NOT BLANK (like has some data inside) then probably infected?

[Captivate Android Development] Verrigan:
Thank you. I needed a good laugh this morning. :D
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
From what I read, gingerbread is patched. So anything built on gingerbread should be patched. That it's the extent of what I know. I'm sure you can get the info confirmed on your roms respective thread.

Its my belief that a long as the file is 0 bytes and has it's permissions set to rw-r-r your protected. I don't know that for sure. Im assuming that the patch blocks the exploits ability to configure it's self.
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
I am not 100% sure if Cm7 has it, but I do know that the gingerbread ASOP does not have the exploit. Google's android team have patched it, and CM7 is based off ASOP.

If the logic is correct,

Google patched exploit in Gingerbread

CM7 has Gingerbread ASOP

CM7 is patched by google.
[Captivate Android Development] BodaciousDrake:
Anyone running Supernova know if this is included? I see the file, and it's empty, so I assume that it is. Didn't see anything about it in the Supernova 3.0 thread. But, again, I assume that if the file is empty that it was added by the devs.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Thanks Whiteguy and stuff for the response. I figured better safe than sorry for CM7 and added the file and permissions to be sure. I also did the same to my wife's Captivate running DGs kb1 rom too.

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Might want to include what ROMs have it patched by default in the OP. So people don't check the folder and flip out.

Serendipity 6.x has it included.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Will do. Though so far it seems yours is the only rom actually has it.

Anyone else that confirms this is in fact pre packed into your rom let me know. Please and thank you.

Edit: found a few others that have it.

[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Who are you telling to stop? And why? And it's not on all of there roms. For insurance if someone is on a pre-ultimate version of phoenix. This is a nasty exploit. People need to no it exists and they need at least some basic protection.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I lol'd. But it's good that so many roms already have this
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Yeah it is. Just wish they all listed it in there change logs. Haha.. Then I could just list them all on the op and be done.

Or like mike.. He actually commented in the thread. No other dev has, it's not like they haven't seen the thread and they could easily tell me... They must be too cool I guess.

Moved from cognition 4.4.5 to 4.4.8 ( which includes the patch) and doubletwist Airsync capability no longer works. PC doubletwist host can't connect to the client on the phone over wifi. Is rage patch blocking access to the phone?

Doubletwist requires port 9968, according to this link: http://support.doubletwist.com/doubletwist/topics/why_wont_airsync_work_with_my_droid?from_gsfn=true

This "patch" has caused a host of problems on my rom, removed.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
How could it cause problems? It's exactally what google recommends. It's a file named profile assigned non-write permissions. It only takes up space.

Thank you for this patch. I've linked in my thread. It is the PROPER way to remove the exploit.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Its a blank file that takes the place of a file the exploit attempts to create. I find it highly unlikely that it causes even one problem with any rom. And thus far has caused no problems on anyones rom. Until this supposed "host" of problems. If what your saying is true a little more information might help address the issue.

Edit: you really shouldn't discourage your users from using this on your rom.
