Hello guuys,
I just bought LauncherPro and i can't figure out how to solve my problem:
As you know, we can add programs simply by clicking the "+" symbol. 3edit dock shortcut" will pop up and let you choose between cahnge shortcut, change icon, and swipe gesture action.
I'm trying to get back the "+" symbol from the dock, but still don't know how to do it. I've the LauncherPro icon option, or the custom one, but can't find the default "+" icon.
Hope you can help me guys, i'm gonna be maaaaaaaaad!
Cheers.
Press and hold one of the icons in the dock until it appears.
Thanks for your reply. But i think you misunderstood. I know how to edit my icon/shortcut. My issue is that i can't find any "+" icon.

As far as I know, they are only there until you replace them with something else. No way to re-add them for re-use.

Yeah you can't them back once you overwrite it. If you want the icon itself try decompiling the apk and looking in the res folder. Otherwise LPP has support for scrollable docks (just swipe the dock to the right/left) so check the other two if you just want the look of it
Thanks for your answers guys.
I unrar the apk and found the icon i was looking for.
You can find it in the attached file.

Is there any tool that can remove the app-name from the icon, and only use the icon? (on your homescreen)

Nope, those apps cant remove the icon name. You can only use a space as a name but wont look good, will just be a black-spot..
Any more ideas?

there's nothing else. We at our russian PDA forum looked for such apps for a long time
old advance launcher form irenhaus has an option to hide the text on desktop and to hide icon on tray. Pretty sure anderweb one does it too now.

It can be done by a simple xml edit in Rosie. I tried it at one time, but never released. I will take a quick look in the Rosie apk and post back when I find the name of the xml.
EDIT: It's in the values and values-normal folders. The files that needs editing are colors.xml and styles.xml. The places that needs editing are selfexplanatory, but basicly it's just a matter of setting the alpha value to opaque (00) in the places needed.
@sipvn: ADW Launcher? I'm currently using it, no option in settings for that :/
@tristan202: Thanks, I never gone that far learning how do edit rosie/apk's/xml's.. Any guides? I failed searching
helixlauncher2 i think has a option that does this

I would like to edit xml files on my milestone, what is Rosie and where do tou get it
Yes, are you able to please detail this a little more?
Ok, couldn't find an answer to this anywhere, but I hope I'm posting it in the right forum...
Basically, without removing the actual app, I want to be able to remove the icon for it from the app drawer...
I'm sure some of you have noticed, that when you download the key for some software, you end up with two icons - one for the key, and one for the program... honestly, it's just silly... how can I remove one of them...?
Anyone any ideas...?
Thanks!

At least I'm not the only one.
Bettercut:
1. download bettercut from market
2. download icon pack of choice
3. long press on empty home screen
4. click on "shortcut"
5. go to "Bettercut"
6. go to "Activity".....wait about 20 seconds for all the items to show up (you will faintly see the thinking icon in the orange bar at the top right part of the screen).
7. click on an item, change name and/or icon as you desire and then click "create".
FYI, Folder Organizer is much easier to use though. I have no need to change my titles though as I'm not trying to hide pron.
On my captivate there are four apps on the bottom of all home screens: Phone, Email, Browser, and Apps.
Any way I can change it? It doesnt seem to be accessible/customizable.
I havent found a way yet either....so doesn't seem possible.

Yep, I figured it out. Follow this:
1. From the Home screen select "Applications"
2. Menu> View Type> Customizable Grid
3. Menu> Edit
You can now slide any App down to the bottom dock. You can even change it back to "Alphabetical Grid" and it will still save the Apps on the dock.
thank you sir!

No problem
Is anyone having success with Launcher Pro replacing touchwhiz?
I really prefer launcher pro over touchwiz. Are you asking how to change the buttons on the dock in launcher pro? If so, just hold down one of the little +'s until the menu opens up and go from there.
on a related note, is there a way to remove the different pre-loaded AT&T applications from the phone? there are a number that seem useless given other apps out there that do the same thing but better, but i can´t seem to figure out how to delete them.
keep your finger on the icon you want to move a second longer than normal (if you have your phone on vibrate, it will buzz) then you can move them around the screen as many or as much as you like. You can also drag them into a bin which will appear in the bottom of the screen. This action doesn't delete the app or icon, it just reappears in the apps page. Very easy but took me ages to work it out. So simple. Have fun
edit: Problems have been solved, I am now officially in love with this ROM. Thanks to everyone who commented!
First off I'd just like to say Eclipse is fantastic. I'm sorry for leaving you Humble but TW4 is just simply magnificent! However, there are a few gripes I have that I would really appreciate some help on.
First: At the bottom of the screen there are the 4 preset application shortcuts(Phone, Contacts, Messaging, Applications) and I would really like to change Phone and Messaging to other applications(RocketDial & HandcentSMS) otherwise they are just going to waste. On Humble I could click Browser(for example) and it would ask if I wanted to open it with Dolphin HD or Browser, I would select Dolphin and choose that to be the default, and it was done. No such option exists on TW4(Eclipse) as far as I know.
Second: The app drawer on Humble used to be alphabetical and now it's just sorted by date, it was really convenient having it in alphabetical order so I could find apps very easily but that option too seems to be gone. Would really appreciate help and will distribute thanks where they are needed :]
not sure how TW4 is working, but I know on my MT4G running if you go to personalize and lock screen, you can pick which application runs by holding down the shortcuts and picking a new one.
I'll research this somemore and look it up for you
Really appreciate it Dragon, I looked it up and it said to hit the Menu button and click Edit Page, all that does is open up all my home pages. I figured the option to change the glued shortcuts wasn't working but I'm asking because I hope someone here who is also running Eclipse 1.3.1 has figured out a way to change it.
Im pretty sure u pull up your apps and then click the edit button up top and then u can change them.
Download appzorter on the market for the alphabatizing

Close, but it's not the edit button on the top of the page: first open the app drawer, then hit the phone's physical menu button and select Edit. From there you'll see highlights and a - button around each icon and you'll be able to pull apps from the drawer onto the shortcut bar (not vice versa, though, just pull them down and it'll replace what's there).
As far as alphabetizing goes, there are apps like appzorter that will help but just be aware it still won't be true automatic alphabetizing -- you have to manually run the sorting app each time you install something new to have it sorted. The only permanent solution is to switch to another launcher entirely.
Thank you everyone! I've now got an alphabetical app drawer, glued Contacts, Dolphin, Handcent(unfortunately not the widget, which shows a how many new messages you have) and the applications drawer. You've made this the perfect ROM :]
You can decompile the tw launcher and navigate to res/xml/default_topappilcation.xml and change the value to correspond with the apps you want.
Code:
xmlns:launcher="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher">
<topapp launcher:className="com.sec.android.app.dialertab.DialerTabActivity" launcher:packageName="com.sec.android.app.dialertab" />
<topapp launcher:className="com.sec.android.app.contacts.PhoneBookTopMenuActivity" launcher:packageName="com.android.contacts" />
<topapp launcher:className="com.android.mms.ui.ConversationList" launcher:packageName="com.android.mms" />
</topapps>
