Creating shortcuts from Chrome to Home page using Android 8
Hi everyone I just wanted to add to the subject. I have a new SG A7 mobile using Android 8 which has just had a short software update. This or the original version (I'm not sure) has prevented me creating shortcuts of websites I regularly visit on Chrome and wanted to save for re-use. I could perform this fine on my previous phones both using Android 6 & 7. The phone was a SG S6 which started as Android 6 and got updated to Android 7. At all times the launcher was Nova. So when I got my new SG A7 I copied the launcher over with all my other apps. The shortcuts didn't transfer so I set about re-making them. There is a problem between Nova Launcher and Android 8 and it just isn't possible to create them on any screen. You can set up a folder which will read Bookmarked, Mobile and other bookmarked favourites from your Chrome desktop by finding the Chrome shortcut Widget and putting that on a separate page. When I reverted to the default launcher 'Samsung experience home' all the shortcuts I tried to creat were there spanning 10 pages. I don't like the default launcher so I need to figure out how to get then into a folder on my front screen using Nova as my launcher. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.
