This is probably going to be a stupid question, but I just flashed Humble 1.62 with ADW Launcher and accidently removed the app drawer icon from the center of the dock, and now can't seem to get it back. I reset ADW Launcher to clear all the settings, and rebooted my phone, but still cannot get the dock configuration back to how it was.
I how to add apps to the dock, but dont know how to add the button for the app drawer itself back. Can anyone help me out here? I don't see any option in the settings to add it back in either. Thanks.
Nevermind...I figured it out. Long pressed on home screen, and created a custom short cut...then dragged it down to my dock.

I tried to add a widget today and for some reason a new widget menu popped up and I can't seem to add a widget anymore. I can scroll through the widgets but selecting the widget does nothing. I've tried switching different launchers (stock and adw launcher ex) but the same widget menu keeps popping up.
I press and hold the screen to get the regular menu pop up which looks normal, but when I select widgets, I get the screen in the attached screenshot. Has anyone had this issue before? I'm running tnt lite 4.2.4. It was also an issue on tnt lite 4.2.3 and not sure if its related to the ROM.
And it's fixed. I just realized I replaced the TNT Settings with the stock android Settings recently and that's what brought that menu up. Restoring the TNT Settings seems to have fixed it.

Good find. Was halfway through a wipe and reinstall before I realized it was a lame brain mistake I could have fixed in 3.5 seconds. Good learning experience though
I like this launcher, been using it a while, but I have one frustration with it each time I have to wipe and reinstall when trying different roms.
The frustration is dragging an item to the dock bar. What is the secret with this? I have to try to drag a single item about 10 times to the dock bar before it finally takes. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I even have the dock set to the largest size to try and eliminate this but it doesn't work.
I know on Launcher Pro, when you drag an item, when it is in the right area, the icon turns a shade of red to let you know to let go, but in ADW there is no marker to let you know this.
What the heck am I doing wrong? This is something so simple and I feel so, n00bish with this.

Out of curiosity, you're not dragging it into the trash can by mistake, are you? I'm not trying to be condescending, I'm just trying to rule out everything.
That trash can still f's me up. I've also had the drawer button disappear. Sometimes it gets so frustrating that I just go back into settings and hit the fast preset to fix everything. I'm using ex btw.
I finally got tired of the crap and installed launcherpro. No problems so far.....
I thought this was just me..It would take me 20 times to add a freakin short cut to the dock! Got tired of it and went back to launcher pro.
I use ADW Ex, and didn't have the same issue...
What I found best worked for me was going into settings and under UI, changing the
Trash Can to appear up Top (Shrink Desktop) and that eliminated some of the
accidentally trashing icons...
As far as dropping icons i've never had an issue, the only thing i'm at odds with is how
in order to organize icons on the hidden dock you have to manually add them all over
again.
With the dock buttons disappearing, I went into ADW Settings and changed the
gestures for swipe up and swipe down to show/hide the main dock and show/hide the
hidden dock.
Hey All,
Thanks for the replies.
I was once having the issue with accidentally dragging an icon into the trash bin and ever since I changed it to not having the trash can icon anywhere but instead I hold on the icon and remove it when the menu pops up. So that trash can is no longer there.
I just have my dock on the bottom of the screen at the largest size (10 if I am not mistaken) and I try and drag the item from the applications list and this is where it just doesn't seem to take until that one time you get lucky and it takes.
Thank you again for the replies,
Whiteice
*EDIT* The main reason why I use ADWEX over Launcher Pro Plus is because of the ability in ADWEX to reduce the size of the icons in the text bar. Otherwise I would just have stuck with Launcher Pro Plus.
Hey guys...
so i've downloaded adwlauncher (paid version) and during the first 2hours or so; i had the pop up "Complete with this action" with the choices of adwlauncher homescreen or my original stock one where i had the option to set one of them as a default. After these 2 hours, it stopped appearing? I tried restarting my phone, clear default (although there weren't none set; so the clear default icon was just flat), clear data...none of them proved to work. Pressing my home screen button just takes me to stock home screen even if i've clicked on the adw icon.
I'm using an xperia arc on the latest software update...(x-loud, horizontal homescreen etc.) Any ideas on how to fix this? All contributions greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've solved it. I realised that i had already set the default to Sony Ericsson Home Screen as opposed to ADWLauncher; so i had to find the Sony Home Screen application in "all applications" list and the press clear default on that. No need for home switcher; although thanks for the suggestion xmsnx
Get the Home Switcher app from the Market, maybe that helps
thanks! i'll give it a try.
edit: nope didn't work? I pressed set adwlauncher as default but after i exit...its the same story. When i go back on homeswitcher...it says stock screen is default?
Hello all,
I'm a relatively new OnePlus One owner and yesterday after I rebooted my phone, a new page showed up as part of my home screen pages. What was the first home screen page is now the second one and this new page took it's place.
Since I have no idea what it is, I'm attaching a screen shot for reference in hopes someone might be able to tell me. It's mostly blank with the text that says:
Get some extensions!
Looks like you don't have any installed
extensions. CM Home currently supports
DashClock extensions, so go get some and check
back here!"
Would anyone know where this suddenly came from and more importantly, how can I get rid of it? If I had wanted it there, I would have added it myself. Don't much appreciate a phone that doesn't respect user settings.
Thanks!
Tim
Nobody knows?
There must be some way of getting rid of this thing. It seems to have shown up after I updated to 38R. It's also mentioning something about Dash Clock. But since I don't have any app named Dash Clock installed, I have no way of uninstalling it.
Tired of these apps or themes, etc that just think it's fine to modify a user's settings and add whatever they want to a phone. I take the time to setup my phone for a reason. If I had wanted something changed or added, I'm perfectly capable of determining which apps I wish to have and where I wish to place associated folders, icons, widgets, etc.
Would be very appreciate if anyone could give me some advice how to get rid of that page.
Thank you!
It is part of the trebuchet launcher from cyanogen. You must have gone into the settings and turned on the CM Home search panel. Just go back into the launcher settings and change the search panel option to "off" and it should go away.

Thanks so much for the reply. I have looked already, but see nothing obvious listed in my Settings where I can find anything related to CM Home search panel. I have also searched for any apps that might be labeled as trebuchet, launcher, CM, etc. Would you mind telling me where exactly I can find such a setting as you mentioned?
Thank you again.

It is not in the phone settings it is on the home screen. Long press down on any part of the home wallpaper not covered by an icon or widget and you should see a menu bar pop up at the bottom with 3 icons for setting wallpaper, widgets and something else. There should be an up arrow near the top of the menu bar which when pressed will take you to the launcher settings, that is where you can change the options.
As the title says, I am unable to add or remove apps to/from home screen. If I want to access an app that's not on the home screen I have to go to the app drawer. Not sure when this started to happen. Running stock ROM since day one, using ADW launcher. Anyone have any suggestions, aside from a full reset?
OK, so I figured out what was wrong, it seems that I somehow locked the screen, that's why I was not able to add/remove apps.
