I use bettercut, works just fine for me. I add through the "add" menu though, as if I was adding a widget. If i open the app and hit new shortcut it doesn't recognize my launcher (adw).
if you use touchwiz, place the stock maps shortcut on your phone, open bettercut, and choose edit shortcut, see if that works.
every other icon is working fine other than the map one i tired on adw lp and touchwiz and it doesn't work on any of them

Didn't have a maps shortcut but I literally just did menu > add > shortcuts > bettercut > activity > google maps. Changed the icon and saved it, worked just fine. Maybe the icon back? Uninstall and reinstall bettercut?
Did you make the icon before updating google maps. I have to re-add my google voice icon to launcher pro's dock every time I update it.
Im having the same issue with the map shortcut, but only in launcher pro, not touchwiz. It works in the dock but not the home screen. Tried joe's method to add but still no luck.

hi, i want my desktop icons to be transparent i,e, get rid of the black box they are in is this possible?
I think it's called ADW Launcher, but you need version 2.1. I think
thanks for reply, i will look into it
Launcher Pro may be another option, if you've heard or seen anything of 'cookies home tab' for windows mobile, i think these a similar to that, in that they offer a different interface.
I used FolderOrganizer v.2.4.9 lite(free) and do the Job well done
ADW launcher is available on the marketplace for 1.6
I've tried it and it looks like it's going to be essential when android 2.1 update comes out, since ADW launcher lets you fit more icons in as well instead of the daft icon spacing we'll be getting with the update!
Icons
The simple way is to use the app Multicon Widget by H9kDroid. Downloadable from Market.

I've installed it and i changed the icon...but i can't find the way to remove the black square around it
Any tips?
Get Apps Organizer from Market. Use widgets instead of desktop, and that will give you icons without the black background.

Using Folder Organizer Lite:
Long Press - select Widget
Select Folder Organizer Item
Select Apps
Then select the app you want and viola no black boxes.
Hey all, I am havin an issue with installing "google car home". I had CM on a HTC sapphire and it would show up in the market now it doesn't. I assume thats because google isn't releasing car home for P500 over market. I have tried installing the app and launcher apks from sdcard as "user apps" and also bundling them into "system apps" on a resigned ROM to no avail. Whats up with that.
Most recently packaged with void-base as system app. The launcher icon appears on install in the app drawer, when it is hit the indicator icon appears in notification bar however the car home UI does not appear. Is this a problem with the ROM, or maybe launcher pro, or the way I am installing it? It came packaged with the stock Tmo and worked.
Some questions I have to trouble shoot this: where are the "user apps" stored? I am not running a2sd. what is the name of the stock home app so I can switch from Launcher pro?

Hi, I came on here looking for the same answer, I've started using the navigation app and I'd like to install Google Car Home. It says it's non compatible, can anyone help?
Thanks.
Try installing the one below.

I am still learning how to do things. Is there a way to add shortcuts on opening the stock B&N Web browser and Reader to the desktop like you can with other app downloads? I hate always having to hit the home "N" button to bring up the options for Web/Reader access... Very annoying.
I am rooted and have blocked the OTA already.

Are you using the default launcher or a 3rd party app?
What launcher are you using? You should be able to tap and hold in the app drawer and drag them to the desktop.

I want to use the default launcher and not Golauncher. As far as I can tell, they don't show up in the default app drawer or in app manager when using the default launcher.

Check out this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hari.sideloadapps&hl=en
You will be able to put apps and shortcuts on the normal launcher.
It will also appear in your normal app library along with the others.
I have to Nook Color App Manager, but the Web browser doesn't seem to show up in there.
Also, I can find the .apk for the browser in /system/app as browser.apk, but that only installs the app.
Have you tried the app 'anycut'?
Sent from my rooted NT using Tapatalk
Yes, tried Anycut also. The newly created shortcut doesn't show up on the desktop. If I run Go Launcher and use Anycut... Then the newly created shortcut for The browser shows up with no problem. I just want it in the default launcher.
I've tried asking the forums here if anyone had figured out how to launch the reader with a shortcut or application, aka a shortcut similar to the "open book" icon on the Nook bar. Little response, lol.
I've tried anycut and the nook color app to no success. "Reader.apk" does not launch my currently open book. It just opens a blank screen. I've settled to accept just opening the library first and then opening my book.
I can't open the flashlight app. It says that i don't have the rights to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hi, I think it only works if you are using the stock launcher... I'm using NOVA launcher and it doesn't work... Using the in-built Huawei widgets doesn't work with Nova either....you've got to use ones from the play store etc.
Solution:- use the torch feature from the notification tray. Hope this helps.

You are right. I didn't even think about it. I'm using Nova too. Not a big deal but i was curious why i couldn't open it. Thank you.

From what I've seen, none of the Huawei-supplied widgets work with third-party launchers - I tried putting the Huawei weather widget onto Nova and it crashed it (necessitating an uninstall-reinstall to fix).
There are three ways to get your torch to work;
Access it from the notification pull-down
Draw a letter on the screen with your knuckle (needs to be enabled in "Smart Assistance" - I use "c" for camera, "e" for torch, "m" for PlayerPro and "w" for weather), or
Swipe up from the lock screen.
Of these, I've found the last to be most convenient - the most likely times that you'll want your torch are when your 'phone's locked.
Hi, i am aware that hidden applications menu gone with Emui 8.
When you are using home screen with app drawer option, is there a way to hide apps or even lock app drawer with fingerprint?
Use this app. It allows you to enable the hidden app menu gesture again.

Yes. That screenshot was from my phone. Hidden app gesture works fine on my Mate 10. I installed the app from the app store so try that and not the pc tool.
Ok, thank you very much @tboy2000, i will try with app from play store then.
One more quick question pls; hidden application menu can be used with homescreen drawer style also or only available with standart (all icons on homescreen) style?

It works with my all icons homescreen. I haven't tried it with drawer style. That's for you to try.

I've tried both, and hiding apps only seems to work on the standard home screen. I can't figure out how to hide (if it even is possible) in the drawer style...

I am totally with you, i am coming from 3 years old phone and i was able to do it easily.
At least, i wish i had an option to lock app drawer with fingerprint etc...
I dont think it differs anything but using Mate 10 or Pro? @jk1992

I have the Mate 10 Pro
Use Nova Launcher (I use Prime version...worth every small penny) and you can hide apps in drawer.
This worked for me after a few tries (did enable option in tweaker tool, but may not be needed) :
