I have been searching for an answer to this all day, I apologize if the answer is already given but I can't find it.

I just switched to LauncherPro, so far I like it alot.

What I am looking to do is to create the "same" shortcut that is already in the scrollable dock for "applications". I do not really want to install another app to do it, I just want the shortcut. I want it on the home screen and not in the dock. For the life of me I can't figure it out. It is available on the dock for LauncherPro and also in the Dock for the Stock Sprint Launcher.

Please someone just tell me that I am an idiot and did't figure it out on my own.

So I'll try n e way like on my X. Go to screen you want shortcot on, open dock, press and hold app u want and presto! There it is. More tips and tricks can b found right there in your phone.

I will update my profile but I did put my phone model in the post. Samsung Epic

I know what you explained, but I am talking about a shortcut to ALL applications. Not just a single. Now there is an icon that has all little squares that brings you to the new page with ALL apps.

Sorry for the confusion

I'm not sure why you would want the same apps on your home screens, as in the app drawer. But, I use an app, from the market, called "AppOrgainizer". What this app does, is allow you to creat folders, (Like the iphone4 iOS) to place related apps in. You then can place these folders on your home screen. For example: my games folder has over 10 of my game apps in it, right there in one place. Also, it helps keep your home screens less cluttered, while keeping you orginized at the same time.
