ADW Launcher Dockbar shortcut issue

I mistakenly replaced the "Dialer Storage" shortcut icon at the bottom that was once in the Dockbar. I search through the installed apps, but I only see "Dialer".

I could be wrong, but I believe this is the default Android dialer... Have you tried reinstalling ADW - this might bring it back...you would, of course have to uninstall ADW first.

Maybe it was jus a modified shortcut icon and it really led to the dialer app?

Try "Anycut" from the Market. It lets you create shortcuts for hidden apps.

I used Anycut and found the correct dialer icon. Thanks

Search on the market for "CreativeThemez" for awesome themes!

To get the call log shortcut
Go to home screen and long press and select custom shortcut/pick your activity/activities/dialer storage
If you dont have any sub activity as above in dialer storage do as below.
Go to home screen and long press and select custom shortcut/pick your activity/activities/phonebook/Call log
And select any icon you prefer and save it on home screen.
Then simply drag it to the bottom bar any location u prefer.

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.

How about u edit the apk and make that icon transparent ?
Use apk manager from my signature if ur new to this concept.

Checkith the appith section, chrisgto4.

[Q] Uninstall icons??

The Gtab comes with a Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc icons installed. These arent real apps, just links to the mobile websites of theirs. Now that I installed the enhancement pack, how can I get rid of those icons that really are worthless now? I cant find anyway to uninstall them. Thanks.

No answers?

I'm not sure about TnT because I use VEGAn but I'm thinking if you have ADW as your launcher maybe you can simply tap and hold the icon until your homescreen pops up and then drag and hold the icon over the trash can that will pop up until you see that ADW will say something like "Drop to Uninstall" then release the icon into the trash can?
Again I'm not sure.

Yes, just tap and hold the icon to the trash can - very easy

No,that doesn't work. The icons are in the app drawer not the homescreen. And they aren't showing up in the manage applications under settings. Its got me stumped.

Home screen shortcut to widget?

Is there a way to create an icon on my home screen, that when tapped, would act as a shortcut and open up a widget, such as a calendar widget?

Like what widget? You can add a widget to your homescreen by long press on the home screen. The menu will pop up and you can select from the widgets you have... you can also create a shortcut to any app by the same long press and selecting shortcuts...

If you're opening up something its an activity/app not a widget. You don't open a widget a widget opens an app.

I think OP is talking about having a shortcut that applies a widget to the home screen. I find that this would be useful if you say had a backup of your homescreen. Whenever I load a backup of a homescreen configuration I had, the widgets would always say "problem loading widget." The backup only restores shortcuts and placements. So this would save you from having to delete and readd widgets.

I have 2 suggestions.
Power Strip
https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.intuitit.android.p.powerstrip&feature=search_result
or Quickdesk Beta/Pro
https://market.android.com/details?id=sg.ruqqq.quickdesk&feature=search_result
I use them both. here's a brief run down of how they each work
Power strip - it's a bar along the bottom of the screen with buttons for access to all your installed applications, shortcuts, widgets and whatever else you can figure out to put in it. i LOVE IT. It's 2 bux, but WELL worth the cost IMO. you can assign it to your home button or the hold search key (i use the home button for quick and easy access) but you can stuff as many widgets in there are you want and THEN SOME.. it's awesome! PLUS.. you can set it up to launch in ANY APP. say you're in maps.. but o snaps.. you forgot to turn on the wifi.. hold search and up comes powerstrip without even leaving maps.. you have your settings widget on the bar.. open it up.. tap the wifi button. slap the back key to exit powerstrip and voila.
Quickdesk - think if it as ONE of the panels from you homescreen. It's just one page that you can put widgets on.. on shortcoming... no scrolling widgets with this one. but likewise it can be accessed anywhere without leaving whatver app you're in.
These are both GREAT choices and i use them both... powerstrip is DEFINITELY the more flexible of the two though.

Ok just to confirm, a lot Widgets CANNOT be activated without being as widgets on the main screen. However, in launcher pro (not sure about other launchers), if you hard press and select "shortcuts">"application" then select the widgets (if u see any) that u like. It will also give u an option to customize the icon of your choice. This is one way to activate a widget by simply clicking the icon. Hope I helped.

Launcher(apps drawer)

is there any launcher tat will disable the top right corner apps drawer.. and place the apps drawer beside the home, back , recent apps ??
i currently having the shortcut key as apps drawer.. but i wish to disable the top right corner apps drawer and top left corner google search..

You can change the settings to make the current screenshot button be used for app drawer.

Apex & Nova launchers will allow you to remove "Persistent search bar"
(which also removes the apps drawer icon)

TSF shell will
