DwayneR 0 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi there. I just purchased a Samsung 12.2" tablet: the SM-P900. Its a nice tablet! However, I installed Evernote and can't seem to find the shortcuts. The only shortcut visible is in the Widgets section, labelled "1x1". However, I am not able to drag that shortcut to a home screen. I have Evernote also installed in my Samsung Galaxy S4 and there is a whole slew of shortcuts available. But not on the tablet. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. Will some kind soul point me in the right direction? For what its worth, the other apps that I installed created shortcuts to the home page. These include SugarSync, Real Calc, others. But not Evernote. Many thanks! dwayne Link to comment

Try checking your device manuals to confirm how you get to the Apps menu. Evernote will be in there somewhere - the menu can be sorted in order of installation, in which case the icon will be at the end; or alphabetically in which case start at the beginning!

I want to have a shortcut to Evernote right on my home screen. Digging through the application manager just to open Evernote is a *real* pain. How do I convince Evernote to install a shortcut to my home screen? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted March 11, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted March 11, 2014 If you long-press on your home screen you should get the option to choose the icon you want to copy across. At the top of a new screen there's an option to choose Apps or Widgets; make sure you;re looking at Apps. Scroll through those screens until you find an Evernote icon you like (there are several) and press and hold it. You'll be able to drag it into your home screen. You can have all sorts of icons from 1x1 to 4x3 some of which can themselves be customised to launch different features like Evernote's page camera or a new note. All this should have installed itself with the main app. Link to comment
Olli 11 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I had a similar problem on my Samsung Tablet.Evernote came preinstalled on this Tablet, and I found it in a folder called Samsung in the App-Section. Kind regards, Olli Link to comment

Many, many thanks for this. That was indeed my problem - Evernote had been already installed and I simply didn't know both that it *was* installed; nor did I know that the apps were located in the Samsung directory. I'm a happy camper! Thanks to all for the assistance! dwayne Link to comment

Also can't move the icon to my home screen. Link to comment
