since i searched this and asked in the QA section and no one was able to answer. i figured it out myself and though i would post a little guide here for everyone to find.
ADW 1.3.2 has been released and now you can customize the original dockbar as well. with the new version you are now able to move the center app drawer button anywhere you like. you can even remove it as well.
Requirements are ADW 1.2.0
1. menu > settings > adwlauncher > UI settings
2. make sure that there is a check next to Dockbar
3. return to home screen and then long press on the app tray button and then drag it up until is disappears
4. now you should have completely blank dockbar at the bottom
5. long press on your screen as if you were adding a widget > select custom shortcut
6. from here pick you activity, once you have chosen activity such as an application like gmail, press the icon and select you custom icon
7. when finished you will have a shortcut to your app you selected, select the app and drag it to the blank dockbar and whala custom dockbar icons in ADW
you can place as many shortcuts as you want into the dockbar and it becomes scrollable just like LPs dockbar. ADW currently allows 6 dockbar icons visible as opposed to LPs 5. with about 15mins of your time you can have customized ADW like mine below. also, if you customized dockbar disappears and you see the original dockbar, just simply long press on the app draw and swipe up and your customized one will return.
with the release of 1.3.2 and being able to customize the app draw icon you can not have 2 seperate fully customizable dockbars. the primary 5 icon drawer and the swipeable scrolling one below.
1. go to menu-settings-adwlauncher-ui settings-main dock style; select 5 icons
2. follow the instructions above to customize the dockbar
3. swipe the main dockbar up to get to the scrollable dockbar and customize it.
4. swiping up and down between the two dockbars is pretty self explanatory.

you need the new 1.3 version of adw for this. if you already have, it all you have to do is create a custom shortcut like in the op and drag it to the original app drawer.
"ADW 1.3.2 has been released and now you can customize the original dockbar as well. with the new version you are now able to move the center app drawer button anywhere you like. you can even remove it as well."
Great. Any suggestions as to how to get it back when you've dragged something over it inadvertently?

Thanx, This Info Has Helped Me. I Always Preferred ADW Over LP

We must all agree: ADW Launcher is a killer application for our phones!
Works fast and flawlessly, it's fully customisable, adds more desktops, a wonderful transparent application drawer and so many more.
So, first of all, thanks AnderWeb.
But, in our phones, Xperia X10, the android UI is skinned and has blue elements.
So, it is difficult for home replacement applications to keep up with this.
I extracted the elements from the default launcher (highlights and google search bar widget) and added them to the ADW Launcher apk.
So, now once you install the ADW, you will find that it matches the UI best, as if it was the stock one!
Unfortunately, I cannot add screenshots at the moment, but the modified ADW Launcher is currently my main homescreen... and loooooving it!
If you want, you can give it a try yourself!

PS: I have asked AnderWeb and he is very OK with me modifying the application a bit.
Enjoy and leave some feedback!

Thank you so much!!
When you press on a shortcut, the highlight is blue instead of orange.
And the little dots on the right and left that navigate you to the homescreens turn up with a blue highlight when you press them.
Also the shortcut launcher button is highlighted in blue when you press on it.
But I don't know if you can capture those on a screenshot.

Hi dudes and dudettes,
I've been making a little theme during my spare time and today decided to release what i have currently got done. I really hope people like it and its my first theme i've created for the Nexus.
Currently the theme is only for CM 6.0 final as that is what I am currently running on my Nexus. I may port it over to other ROMs but not until I have the free time as I am pretty busy over the next few days.
The theme is in UPDATE.zip for easy application and to get the best results I have attached my .XML for the notification bar colours. Also attached to this thread are my green+mean icon set and dock for use with launcher pro (or anything else really)

Instructions:
1. Extract the zip into desired folder
2. Put the "cmparts_ui.xml" onto the ROOT of you SDcard and import it via CyanogenMod Settings.
3. Flash the "green+mean update.zip"
4. Optional - copy icons, dock and wallpaper to SD.
Credits: Team Douche for the ROM, and the creator of the wallpaper im using
looks awesome!!

Been liking this look since I saw it in the screenshot thread. Very well-put together!

nice theme! fonts are a little bit hard to see? can u use another font type?
Just installed this theme and i really like it.....How do i use your icons and app drawer theme though? I'm currently running cyan 6 final
Hi ppl, thankyou for the kind words!
in regards to the setting icons, I would love to do that but you will need to wait I have a few other things going on right now.
and font, I'm not sure what other font to try as I quite like this one. If you want I can upload the default font so you can revert?
thanks again!

hi mate are you trying to change the icons in the dock or elsewhere? to change on dock just press and holdon the dock, select shortcut then custom icon.
for elsewhere, you need folder organizer from the market which is also free and very useful.

Thank you! Wow can't believe i didn't think of that....So easy. Just figured there was a option in settings somewhere.
This theme looks incredible. Might be enough to make me learn how to make an ADW Launcher theme.
It would be also nice if the height of the widgets was the same. I mean...if I use for example the twitter widget (4x1) in a screen and the google search widget in the next screen their edges don't match.
Try to use the music 4x1 widget in a screen and the weather&news one in the next screen...they match! This is the effect it would be cool to have with all the widgets.
Is it possible? (sorry for my english! )
EDIT: is it possible that the weather&news widget has been "broken" by your customization? It doesn't find my location if I set the geolocation. If i set manually my location all works fine. The geolocation works instead in Beautiful Widgest so I think there's a problem in that widget.
love the work so far, can't wait for next release with more things themed.

not saying this is the answer: but have you checked that 'Use wireless networks' is still ticked in your Location & Security settings. I had a problem with that widget doing the same thing, and then it magically worked when I found it had been unchecked - probably due to me using the 4-corner-tap trick to skip initial gapps setup with each ROM flash recently, therefor missing that option

I have post it the original thread a while back on September,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769138
And now updated and couple of fixes have been done to have a stable launcher that people can choice to download and give a try.
want to give many thanks to this guy to actually fix some mini couple bugs and force closes that was making this launcher annoying (lol),
-bedwa
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810221
(hes actually been working on it, and i will too)
BUGS ( WILL BE FIX SOON )
-The Uninstaller on the app drawers doesnt work yet, it force closes.
-When u open the launcher in the screens you will see "Problem loading widgets",
U can delete them and there should be no problem using the widgets after that,
-LG Calander Widget dont sync with events, but widget does load and work on homescreen, (will see if theres a fix soon)
OTHER GOODIES / WIDGETS
-Analog Clock widgets ( 8 of them )
-Calendar Widget
(WIDGET DOESNT SYNC WITH THE EVENT BUILT APP SO BE PATIENT)
-Memo Widget
Custom Font ROOT USERS ONLY
http://www.4shared.com/file/Ue07CSnb/FontPack-MarkerFelt.html
(thanks to fachadick for this awesome font)
instructions
1) Download the Home selector apk first so you wont have a force close when you go the "Home settings"
and select "Home selector" On your homescreen.
2) download LG EVO Launcher / Widgets to the SD card and download it as you would any other app with "ASTRO , file manager ETC".
3) (ROOT USERS ONLY) Custom font, just flash in recovery as a normal flashable zip
LG LAUNCHER IN THE MARKET
i been scrolling in the android market and came across this application which looks like the port of the old launcher i did a while back,
(this version has bugs on them and doesnt work very well)
i want to first say that it took me a time to make this launcher to work, LG is the owner of this launcher, but still give credit to those who work and put time on this, damn.

I like it however the calendar widget does not seem to work. Is it suppose to pull the events from the sense calendar or go to it when you click a date? As of right now when I click on a date in the calendar widget it does nothing. How did you get the sense clock to work, or is it something diff (forgot the name of the other one lol).

just like touchwiz for samsung,
open the app drawer and click on "Menu" of ur phone and just click organize and drag it to the dock. if this is what you mean,
moving around the icons and labels you have to open the app drawer and just click "menu" theres alot of options there.

ok so this is a little guide on how to get the 'cover flow' style homescreen. first off, i think some of you (ok well a small minority) will be happy to know that it doesnt require root. all you need is launcher pro or adw luncher and multipicture live wallpaper. now there is a drawback to this method, which is you cant change your wallpaper unless you edit the .psds provided. oh and just for the record i am currently using miui rom but it is not needed. ok so here we go.
1) download the coverflowwallpapers.zip containing the wallpaper for each page
2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
3) get rid of the dock bar and icons from the launcher. it would be a good idea to set a swipe gesture to show the app drawer so you still have access to all your apps. i would also recommend changing the number of home screen rows to 5 to compensate for the row lost due to the thumbnails.
4) download MultiPicture live wallpaper from the market.
5) go to select wallapaper/live wallapers/then select multipicture and then press settings
5) using the images you downloaded from this post and change the wallpaper for each page. (seeing as im a nice guy i numbered them for you)
6) finally, got to the transition type and choose your favourite one. i chose to go with wipe as it makes the thumbnails look like they are rotating but some of the others look great too.
so there it is. hopefully this tutorial isnt too hard to follow. also if you have your won ideas/modifications, post them here cos i wanna see them too
heres a crappy video of it in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx0uGYOUWR0
thanks for doing this! trying it now.
2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
How'd you make it default?
Hit the home button and then a prompt will show your available home screens and launchers. Check the radio button on the bottom of the pop up and select adw or launcherpro. You can clear the "default" if you decide to do something else and not use LP or ADW.

after downloading a new launcher from the market, press the home button and it should give you an option to which launcher you want to go to. check the make default option and then press the launcher you want.
ok, how do I get rid of the dock bar and how do I set a gesture for getting it back?

The way I am doing it is by replacing the icons with a blank icon. Essentially the icons are still there, but invisible and I can still assign a swipe up gesture if I wanted to.
You probably don't want to use the term "cover flow" as I would be willing to bet Apple has a trademark on that term.
2 things :
1. first and foremost, thank you for actually listening to us and making this available for us to use.
2. since no one is really taking the initiative can you make several different walls and icons for us?

sorry I simply don't have the time to do that. this setup was initially made for me but some people asked me to share how I done it so I did. I knew not everyone would like the wallpaper and/or icons which is I why I uploaded the .psd file. there's only so much I can. also it doesn't seem like many people are interested but that's cool as i know this kind of setup is not for everyone.
Don't be discouraged. I've liked this setup since I first saw it--it's very different. If I hadn't just rehauled my own homescreens, I'd be slavishly copying yours.
I do have the time and tools to make something out of your .psd too, so maybe when I get home (i.e. to the PC with photoshop installed) I might try my hand at it.
Introducing Devbro Appdrawer by me(Devbro)
What is it?
This is a appdrawer replacement. In the normal appdrawers that exists right now, you can only organize your apps in generic ways(alphabetically, more recently used,...) or in folders that make accessing your apps one step further to reach. No more worries. Devbro Appdrawer now fixes this problem. You can organize your apps in folders and swipe to access them. It can be easily replaced with all general appdrawers, just replace the shortcut in go launcher, ADW launcher and etc. Or you can create a shortcut to it for daily use.
What else can it do?
You can organize your folders in whatever customized order you like. It is also possible to uninstall or view each app's info just by long clicking on the icon.
What is the cost?
It is free. No catches of any kind.
What are the permissions for?
I am looking to see how my app will be used by other people. So There is a small code that send me a list of your folders and how you organized them. There is also a list of how you ran your programs.
All data that are being sent are generated from within the app. nothing else is sent. If you do not like the idea you can simply disable it from the settings menu. If you like to do this manually, there is also an option for it in the settings.
sdcard access is needed for backup and restore
Do you like my app?
If the answer is yes, then just use it and tell your friends about it. You can also give it 5stars in the market.
Do you have a suggestion/Did you find a bug?
Just post it here and I will look into it. Thanks in advance.
Do you want to help?
As per suggested, I need a new icon. If you have seen one that I can use post a link here please.
Which feature that you like to see next?

Make it for GB.
I just posted the link. You can also search on google play to find it. Let me know what you all think.

I am strongly considering this. It may take me a while as most of the code that I am using are not part of GB. Fear not I shall find a way to do this.
would it be too much to ask for a direct download link? I don't have wifi access and can only download from download sites :s

I am currently working on some possible leads to fix possible problem. Would you be willing to send me a copy of crash log?

I am glad to hear I haven't done any major testing on 4.2 yet. Are there any problems?
Good idea! It works fine in my Galaxy s3 with mihome launcher. My feedback is this:
1) app icon should be more like a generic launcher icon. Current icon isn't representative of what most people are used to looking for an app drawer.
2) hide the title bar so it feels more like a native app drawer. Maybe even give the option of a transparent background.
3) default black theme looked ugly because the folder label had a white background. How about making the folder label background transparent and underlining the name instead?

I am seriously considering all your good advices. I am not a graphic designer, it takes longer to come up with more effective graphical designs. Creating icons are not easy it may take me a little longer to create or find one.

It can be easily replaced with all general appdrawers, just replace the shortcut in go launcher, ADW launcher and etc. Or you can create a shortcut to it for daily use.

I've installed the appdrawer and created some groups, but I don't understand what I should be doing next. What are shortcuts?

By shortcuts I meant to put it on your screen as a widget.
The goal of this app is to improve the speed that you find and launch your apps. So you spend less time finding them.
