Question about adw launcher

How do I add more app shortcuts in the box at the bottom of the screen, by default there is only 3 spaces, how do you add more?
Thanx

go to ADW settings and UI Settings.
Disable DESKTOP DOTS and select SECONDARY ACTION BUTTONS.
That should do the trick

Or you can swipe the app drawer button up to reveal the dock bar.. You can add as many apps as you want to that.

how do you get the dock draw back? EDIT: nevermind, i found out, its harder to work out with no app shortcuts in the dock bar.
Also is there a way to scroll down the app drawer like the original Home Launcher?

i believe it scrolls across by default.
found solution.
go into adw settings, > drawer settings > disable horizontal drawer.

ah thanks for that, ive switched from HelixLauncher to this now

Don't no whether its just me again but, I feel that adw launcher drains my phone quicker than the standard home. Anyone else experiencing the same? Or I'm i just being paranoid about the battery life!? :0s lol

I've been using ADW for a while, and helix before that.. And I don't have any concerns about battery drain on adw.

what about the difference of battery time between helix launcher, adw and the built-in home? before update, helix improved the battery dramatically, what about it after firmware update?

ADW Launcher

Hi there I'm using ADW Launcher app. I updated to 1.3.6 ver. Last night now when I open the app drawer the ADW Launcher app icon is missing also when I'm on my home screen and I hit the menu button I no longer have the option to select ADW settings. However I checked under my managed applications in the settings on my droid x and I do have ADW Lanucher installed some help on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Menu>more>ADW settings

Thanks PNLD87 I figured it out a few hours ago. The app icon disappeared after the update I wonder why the dev decided to do that.

App icon themeing?

Is there a way I can change an apps icon with a theme manger type program on my phone?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

some ROM's allow you to hold down an icon to change it with icons pre-installed on your SD Card.
Some icon themes can be installed through apps like ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro.
Its nice using Launcher Pro. It can install Icon Packs on the fly.

Yeah I'm familiar with launcher pro and adw themes and stuff but I want to modify icons on my htc with the sense launcher?

any ideas?

Try Folder Organizer lite on the Android Market.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer.lite
In the apps section, it allows you to change the icon for all apps. In order for the icon to show up on the home screen as modified, you need to add the app as a "Folder Organizer item" widget.

Using folder organized worked! Good enough for now. Now just got to figure out how to get that icon on my sense 3.0 lockscreen instead of using the stock application icon it makes me use.

[Q] The only problem with nova launcher.

I recently rooted and flashed liquid smooth onto my galaxy s3. Before I rooted it I had custom icons that took up the entire 1x1 grid on nova launcher prime. Now that I have flashed a custom rom my icons are a lot smaller. I'd like to know how to make the icons bigger that take up the whole 1x1 grid. Also when I go into the menu, whenever I press the icon size button, nova launcher immediately crashes. Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
This picture I uploaded is how the icons look now.

You can change the icon size by going to nova settings/look and feel/ then icon size.

But as I've stated above it crashes on me every time. Would anyone know how to bypass this?

Did you restore nova via a back up? Glitches can develop in apps when restoring them to a new rom. It's best to reinstall and set up from scratch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Thanks for the quick reply! I did not restore from a back up because I forgot haha but I was successful in remaking the theme other than the icon size. I would reinstall nova launcher but when I go to the app store or app manager it doesn't give me the option to uninstall

Open apps manager through settings and uninstall it inside or use TB

LiquidSmooth comes with Nova as it's launcher. So to uninstall, you will need to install a different launcher as a temp, then using a root level file browser, delete the Nova Launcher apk file. Should be good to install it from Play store and continue from there.
