Replace ADW Launcher EX drawer with Gingerbread? - General Questions and Answers

I bet it has been requested a zillion times before, but I cannot find it. I love the ADW Launcher EX home replacement app, but I don't fancy the app drawer. Can I replace the different drawers with the one found in stock Gingerbread?
I've tried out the "4D drawer" in ADW EX, but it isn't as smooth as stock.

I would like this too

Just wondering, have you tried the new vertical drawer? Most responsive/smoothest scrolling app drawer I've used. I don't know of a way to only use the app drawer of a launcher other than a 3rd party app replacement like alt drawer in this forum, or shortcut linking to a drawer like the blur one.

Hmm, care to elaborate (bold)? I've tried all there is Even in Go Launcher and LauncherPro, but none come close to the smoothness of stock GB

Well, from your other posts it sounds like you have a Nexus/Stock by default phone, so you wouldn't be able to do this. But on the newer versions of the Motorola skin, like the 2.3.3 Droid X update, the app drawer can be chosen as a shortcut with a custom launcher, like LauncherPro. So you can map the app drawer icon in the dock to the app drawer itself: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/3...-new-blur-app-drawer-together-on-your-droidx/

[Q] Launcher Slide Up Show App Drawer

Launcher that when I slide it up(with movement, animation etc, Like Android 1.5), it will show the app drawer? I got Launcher Pro atm
Zeam Launcher
Minimal, fast, works exceptionally well on the last few phones Ive used including the Galaxy S series and the G2X.
ADW can do this.
So can GoLauncher EX. Also very themeable. A bit heavier than zeam though

I'm understanding the request differently than you guys. I think you might be looking for Launcher + maybe https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.intuitit.android.p.launcher&feature=search_result.
Or maybe I'm the one misunderstanding the request... :shrug:

guys hes looking for an launcher that opens up and down most launchers dont do this anymore its a very miss feature i think.
Edit: like 1.5 and 1.6 like vanilla android.
Well when I slide my finger up on the home screen my app drawer opens. Slide my finger down and my notification bar pulls down. That's what I get from the op anyway

[Q] App for Launching App Drawer (w/o using rosie)

Does anyone know of an app that can launch your app drawer?
Ive tried Desktop Visualizer, but it doesnt give me the option to launch the app drawer. i can only do it using the rosie.
I wanted to know if i could basically create an icon on a home screen to launch the drawer so i could use a completely hidden rosie.

Launcher pro or adw launcher can do this.

Yup! Just long press and add a "Launcher Action"... They will let you customise the icon as well
I prefer ADWLauncher EX the paid version

where do i long press? im using LPP and desktop visualizer but i still cant figure out how to use an icon to launch the app drawer
On an empty space on one of your home screens... as it you would add a widget or a shortcut.
Works fine on ADW Launcher Pro.

still no luck. i dont see where LPP or DV gives me the option to add a 'launcher action'
when i long press the homescreen, i get the standard Shortcuts, Widgets, LPP Widgets, Folders, and Wallpapers
where do i go from here?

Launcher actions are shortcuts I think.

I assume you need the ADW launcher for the extra options.

In adw just press and hold the launcher icon on the bottom bar and drag it up to the screen

If you have LPP or ADW you don't need DV...
I think LauncherPro you would: long press home screen / add shortcut / actions / launcherPro / LauncherPro (app list in small type)
Hope that helps.
Though it is not really the "App drawer" its just a list... ADW actually gives you far more customisable options. Try the free one first if you like

In Launcher Pro, keep your finger down on one of the mi ddle buttons on each dock. It will say Edit dock shortcut.
goto change shortcut --> App Drawer.
Done

Sorry, ignore me, I see what you're trying to do. I'm not sure LP can do this. I can;t see an activity which replicates opening the app drawer. You might ask the developer. He's pretty good at responding.
I have your answer.
Adw.
Search settings for hide bottom dock.
Search settings. Use swipe up gesture for app drawer.
Done
I think I'm having the same problem here.
I was trying to launch the app drawer from the homescreen, not from the dock, but LPP doesn't have that option or perhaps I just don't know how to do it?
Using DV also doesn't help.
Any ideas?

Best ADW app drawer icons

What themes have interesting or, at least, not ugly app drawer icons?
The retro theme had a neat one but I like to switch it up. I hate the adw default icon.
Also, adw used to have the dual app drawer icon. That is, it changed depending on whether the drawer was open or closed. Is there a setting I'm missing?

[Q] ADWLauncher with stock ICS drawer

Using a Xoom and I'm redoing my hubs layout and the only one that it works fully with and that I want to use is ADW. Now that being said I also like the stock app drawer. Now I guess my question is, is there anyway to use the stock app drawer with ADW even if it's only a shortcut.
You can make it look like it, but you wont have the tabs.

Haven't used ADW in absolutely ages (GO Launcher is by far the best IMO) but set the background to black and set the transition to 'stack' if it's available. GO Launcher has all of this and it has tabs which you can customise the look of. Just sayin'
Try Holo Luncher based on ADW sources

Folders IN app drawer?

Hi everyone.... Loving my new Mate 9 but have a question.... I know that if I want an app drawer that can have custom folders in the drawer I can do so by using a third-party launcher, like Nova. I have been a loyal Nova user for years as a matter of fact. That said, when I got the M9 I was intrigued by the stock launcher. At first, I just used it with no app drawer and made folders on some home screens but now I'm wondering..... is there anyway to BOTH use the app drawer, AND make folders in that app drawer instead of just having every app shown individually, in alpha order?
My other question would be..... If I use the app drawer and drag an app onto the homescreen, is there any way to have it NOT also show up in the app drawer? I think the app drawer would be far less cumbersome to search through if those apps already showing on the homescreen didn't also have to be shown in the app drawer.
I hope my questions are clear. Thanks everyone!
I hope there is a folder solution as you describe. I too would like to better organize my app drawer.
Yes! Thank you! My thoughts exactly. Any app (not launcher) based solution out there?
