Ok so i downloaded "launcherpro" for its home theme, its three screens, its little swipe bar at the bottom, and of course the 3d app drawer. although im having a big problem... i dont have the 3d app drawer because "launcherpro" wont allow me to open it... the open button is only gray and it wont let me. i can only uninstall it also i cant even see it in my app drawer normally or in my downloads under my marketplace. is there a way to open it or am i screwed? is there just another app only for a 3d app launcher? i dont want 7 screens like the helix launcher cuz it freezes and lags to much and i dont need that many screens. Also with the "launcherpro" prior to having it i downloaded it once (my phone is rooted :2.2 cynogen 6(sp?)) and i could open it but i didnt know what it did so i uninstalled it. if i type in "launcherpro" or "launcher pro" its nowhere to be found but i still have it set as my home screen default i just want a 3d app drawer. i have the sprint htc hero. help?

yeah i guess in a way it does. also leaves the bottom of the screen faded. This is actually a dockbar for you to drop apk into for quick finding. what Im looking for is a completely hidden app drawer button on the home screen. it used to be an option but not anymore.

Use apk manager from my signature if ur new to this concept.
Checkith the appith section, chrisgto4.
I'm running Ginger Clone R2 Rom.
On a Samsung Vibrant
the Stock launcher is a Gingerbread launcher, but the 3D app drawer is annoying, is there anyway i can remove that, because i jsut don't like it and when im in the middle of the list, and go back to home screen, and go back to app drawer, its back at the top, how can i stop it from happening or is there another replacement which looks like that but without 3D or that problem?
It is not a problem,
The launcher is suppose to do that.
But if you go on the Android Market
and search "Gingerbread Launcher" or "MoDaCo"
and that one has no 3D app drawer.

Yes, the stock launchers (which the one from the market is stock, just a tad bit modified) do that, the only way to fix that is to change some code or use LauncherPro and use a Gingerbread theme.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I just want to know how to get example1 instead of examplecurrent (attached).
I am ultra new to this modding stuff and have no idea what to even call this bar. But I am wanting to the the transparent 5 icon thing w/ phone messages ect at the bottom instead of the little standout-ish 3 icon one... help plz =P
All you'll have to do is install LauncherPro from the market. It is a launcher replacement app and is extremely popular. You'll be able to choose what apps/icons to put in the dock(that's what the bar is called ) along with all sorts of other customizations. There are other launcher replacement apps like ADW, GO launcher, Zeam, etc. Each have their own advantages and you'll just have to see what works best for you and your phone.
Then what?!
Ok I have downloaded LauncherPro , I believe cm7 already came with ADW or w/e so how do I change over and try the new one out and mess with settings and all that?
When you go to the homescreen you should get a popup asking you which launcher to use. If not, there's an app called home switcher or something like that. The settings can be found by pressing the menu button then selecting preferences. To change which apps and icons are in the dock, just long press on the one you want to change and you'll get a popup menu.
Hey
I have question regarding adwlauncher ex.....
whenever you open app drawer and then you press the home button, the app drawer stays in that place and does not go back to the top.....
how can I change settings so whenever I close the app drawer, it goes back to the top automatically, and not stay at the same spot as last time?
To be more clear, I am using vertical app drawer, and for example, I have lots of apps in drawer, if I scroll up to view more apps and then close the drawer, the drawer stays at the same spot as how much i scrolled......I dont want it to stay there, I want the drawer to go back to the original position at the top....
hard to explain, but if someone know how to fix this please let me know
thanks
I know what you mean, but I don't believe there is a setting for this.
Hah, I was also thinking about this the other day and wish there was an option
Same with returning to the default homescreen after launching an app from a non-default homescreen.
With HC on my Xoom, when scrolling throught the app drawer, all I had were apps. With ICS, if I scroll past the end of the apps, it brings me into the widgets that if I tap them, will add to the home screen.
Is there any way to prevent this?
I guess what I'm asking is... With ICS how do I prevent my 3yr old son from being able to scrolling too far in the app drawer and ending up in the widget section where he is adding stuff to the home screens?

googling this just then... if your using cm9 the trebuchet launcher for cm9 doesnt seems to have the ability to lock the desktop (ie not add anything to home screens) see trebuchet features: http://geekprison.com/4472-download-cm9-cyanogenmod-9-trebuchet-launcher-for-android-4-0-3/
using a launcher such as adw ex... you can not only lock the desktop to stop ya boy from adding stuff, adding widgets uses a long press of the screen so the app list remains widget free
hope this helps
So 3rd party launcher is the only way?
and I guess I'm not as worried about adding stuff to the home screen, as he is getting to the widgets, tapping, and not understanding what its doing so he gets frustrated... unlike when he scrolls through apps, and taps, they launch.
