Create your own shortcut widget for the i8910 HD
Posted by soHD in Tips & Tricks, tags: touchwiz, Widget
Phone widgets are becoming ever more popular on handsets. Samsung is encouraging widget support for the i8910 Omnia HD handset through a competition that we’ve discussed previously. The great thing about it, is that anyone can enter.
Whilst some of you may wonder how on earth you go about creating one, All About Symbian has created quite a handy guide. It covers the simplest form of a widget, the shortcut. You can use one as shortcut to your favourite web site or online service (like Gravity of Profimail). I haven’t tried it myself yet (I’m still working myself around the phone), but would love to hear if any of you have got this working!

Yeah, it works well. I’m just working on an RSS reader at the moment.
Can this method be used not only for web shortcuts, but also for custom software? If I want to put, for example, Opera browser on my desktop (using Widgets screen)?

Very good question..
Yeah I’d love to be able to have a shortcut for the video player and the music player just one touch on my home screen. Its the main reason I got this phone and its hidden a few clicks in to the menu system.
