I am new to Android, but enjoying playing around so far. I have a quick question that may seem silly to those more familiar with Android.I have noticed that there is no shortcut to the PD Reader (the default, pre-loaded e-reader) application when using a different launcher (e.g. Panda Home). I would like to be able to run that reader if I choose, but do not know how to add a shortcut to it. Any ideas on how to add a shortcut to it?Thanks,Hunter

Using Bar Control provides access to a shortcut that you can add to the bar which give you direct access to the PDN ereader app. One thing I haven't figured out yet is how to access the PDN library directly from the panda (or any other) launcher. As a work-around I do one of two things. I either use Home Switcher to switch launchers or, just recently, I added a shortcut to the PDN launcher via Bar Control. Not ideal but both work and I can just use the back button to return to panda launcher. Hope this helps.....

Thanks for the suggestion of Bar Control. I gave it a try, but I am having problems. I can't seem to access the shortcuts once they are there. I can't get the notification shade to activate. What could I be doing wrong?Thanks,Hunter

If you haven't already then you need to start the power down process and then cancel it. This will allow the shade to work and you have to do this every time you restart the Novel.
