If the buttons are setup like most devices you can drag any shortcut to replace a icon on launcher but the app button for the start menu..
As for the defailt search provider, you can install other ones like google but you wont be able to change the default search engine... But you can place google widget on a home page and clock it to search and it should search Google instead of Bing..

Changing home screen smart buttons

Hello,
i would like to know, if it is possible to change / disable the home screen smart buttons (phone / search / camera) at the bottom line?
Because, each time i take the phone (Z30) out of the leather pocket i start the camera or the search app. This is awful.

No, those bottom buttons cannot be changed or disabled.
What type of leather pocket is this? One which contains the magnetized sleeper feature?
If so, a couple of options would under Settings > Security and Privacy > Device Password > Lock when Holstered and enable this. That way your device will be locked when removing from the holster.
Also, the device can be put in sleep mode when inserting to the holster by simply press the top edge power key for a half second.

How do I backup home screen shortcuts

I have a lot of home screen web shortcuts in IOS 7 and I want to back them up so that when I restore to a new device, I have all my collected shortcuts. How can I do this?

According to this support article, an iCloud backup should back up your Settings and your Home Screen and App organization. I do not have web shortcuts on my Home Screen so cannot absolutely guarantee that they would be restored via a backup, but the article implies that it will:

HELP!! App 200 error? Cannot click on/select anything on Home Screen/no buttons work.

I have a BlackBerry Curve 8330 and it's worked great until last night. I kept pulling it out of my pocket and it would be off. And when i would turn it back on, i'd put it back in my pocket to wait for it to start up and when I looked at it again, it would be off again. so I finally waited to watch it and see when it was cutting off, and when the home screen came up, i scrolled over everything as normal and it appeared to be working fine, it would still say the name of the app i was hovering over.. but when i tried to click that, which has been my text message mailbox the most, it doesnt do anything. nothing happens at all. It's like it doesnt even realize I'm clicking it. And the enter button on the bottom right doesnt work either. and I try to turn it off to restart it and the end button doesnt work. No Keys or Clicking with the scroll ball works, just scrolling? I can only restart it if I take the battery out. And last night when I plugged it in and took the battery out and restarted it, it suddenly worked, but after having it off the charger for a while it stopped and started again when i plugged it back in, but the batter life is completely charged and fine. and the second time i plugged it in, something came up saying App error 200, reset. so i clicked reset and it worked fine all night and day today until tonight when it's started doing the same thing, except now nothing will make it work. Taking the battery out while it's charging, nothing at all. i've taken the battery out and restarted it atleast 20 times since I've been home. It's really frusterating. Can someone tell me why this is happening?? And maybe how to fix it?! Much appreciation.

You may have to do a reload of the OS. Some app on the phone is causing trouble intermittently I'm guessing. Here is what you can do:
1.Backup phone data: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB12487
2.Perform a clean installation of your OS: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
3.Restore the backup after you have verified it doesn't occur again

Problem with home screen shortcuts

this has ocurred several times. I am in the messaging application, click to update mailbox and while it is trying to update the email application crashes and closes completely. I am returned to the home screen but now the shortcut I had for my email account inbox is gone, replaced by a shortcut to the music store. I had to manually fix this several times but then I discovered that just leaving it after a while the correct icon would reappear.

The advice above may well be correct (depending on the phone you are using which you didn't mention )However if you follow it, I would advise backing up Contacts, Calendar and Notes ONLY, as if you backup your settings and restore them it could re-install the problem ! Also somewhat easier to dial *#7370# followed by 12345, but the choice is yours and it will take a while to set up your phone again (assuming you have an S60v5 phone, 5800, N97, X6 etc)
Good Luck

If you need to create an app I suggest we move this thread to our developer section of this forum.

Soft buttons on home screen

Hi,
I am a new user of E71. After I inserted my SIM card , I received a theme from my operator including a screen saver and a soft button on the home screen "right button"
This button is assigned to services provided by my operator.
But it is useless for me. That's why I want to remove that button and assign it to an application if possible.
How can I achieve this ?
In another forum I've read that this button is configurable through the "standby mode" settings under phone settings.
Unfortunately I can't find such setting.
Can anyone help me please ?
Thanks

I found it under:
settings->personalisation->home screen->key shortcuts
That's ok.
Now I wonder if it is possible to change the applications with icons at the upper side of home screen.
How can I do that ?
For example, I don't want the default apps in the home screen, instead I prefer google maps.

E72 Application shortcuts and home screen applicat...

Hey guys,
I`ve got a weird issue on my E72.
Whichever theme I use,the application shortcuts and home screen shortcuts(wifi search,calendar,chatsetup...etc) are keep highlighted
on homescreen.
I installed ovi store update and polar lotus screensaver from ovi store yesterday.
Since then my theme has changed and the two type of the shortcuts on my homescreen
remain highlighted,whatever I do with them.
I uninstalled the polar lotus scrsv.
I tried all of my themes and default ones,but same everywhere.
I use a black and blue(neon) blue theme.
It used to look like full black screen and blue icons,the name of the apps,and shortcuts also written by blue.
Now the apps shortcuts on the top and also the home screen apps are highlighted with light brown.
I guess the polar lotus scrsv has left some files or configurations after itself,and keeps effecting
the display or themes.
I tried to uninstall and install again all of the themes,but still no luck.
Has anyone experienced something like this before?
Any idea to get back the normal lookout of the themes wtihout highlighting anything(unless the theme contains highlighting functions)?
Thank you

Could you guys try this blue and black theme by Mr Jorik, to check you also got light brown highlighted app.shortcuts on homescreen,or yours full black screen nothing highlighted?!
I can give download link for the theme.
Please someone help ....

Need to create access to a pdf file from IOS Home Screen

I need to be able to do this for a company executive. I thought it would be straightforward using GoodReaders "gropen:\\" command in Safari and using "Add to Home Screen". Problem is, as soon as I enter the gropen command it goes to GoodReader, before I can add to Home Screen. I have tried hitting the "stop" X - but I am never fast enough. There seems to be no way to edit a Home Screen shortcut url. Any ideas? I have 24 mours to ficure this out before I admit defeat. Help!

Hi siddharth,
My suggestion would be to create your output as a Smartform and call your Smartform in your View.

Configure Home Screen

Hi
On my home screen the button on the left is Messaging and the button on the right is maps. How do I change these buttons to perform other functions?
How do I also change the icons on the homescreen and the list below the icons?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The settings for customising the standby screen can be found here:
Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Personalisation > Standby Mode
To change the functions for the icons select "Active standby apps."
To change the functions of the left and right soft keys choose short cuts.
You can't change the other items such as the calender display & wi-fi. They are always there if active standby is turned on.

5800 - add most used apps to home screen

Is there a way to do this?
Having recently returned from holiday, it would have been nice to have dictionary etc on the home screen

Menu > Settings > Personal > Home screen > Home screen theme
Select "Shortcuts bar"
You can then change the 4 shortcuts on-screen to whatever you want:
Menu > Settings > Personal > Home screen > Shortcuts.

Where did the iPod shortcut button go when you double click the home button and scroll to the left?

After upgrading to iOS 4.3.2 I have noticed that when I double click the home button the multitasking tray pops up when you scroll to the left the ipod shortcut is no longer there, it has been replaced by a safari shortcut. Is this right??

Reset
Have you tried rebooting the device? Hold down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. If this fails, connect it to a power source and try again holding them for at least 20 seconds.
Reset Home Screen
Reset All Settings
Reset all settings on Device. On your Device, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset All Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and Appleid login information, but can result in a more stable function. On the final screen you will restore your backup or “Setup as new device” to keep current info intact.

* Tap the shortcut and hold your finger on the screen until the icons start to shake.
* Tap the "X" icon on the shortcut.
* Confirm that you want to delete the shortcut.
* When the shortcut is gone, tap the iPhone’s home button to stop the icons shaking.
