When I try to add a widget to the screen the app force closes on me every time. It was doing this both on the 6.1 and the 6.2 updates now.
Anyone else seeing this? I am rooted and I can add all the sliders I want, just no widgets and of course no shortcuts but that is a function of the Kindle not the app.

Alright, i really like the way the LG Optimus Z had the app drawer set up.
http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-z-review
It is split up by media, downloaded, and communication.
Is there an app out there or something similar to this?
thanks.
Bump... anyway know of any app like this? Or home screen replacement?
The latest build of ADW.Launcher has the ability to categorize apps and then switch between the standard app drawer (showing all apps) and drawers showing only the apps of a category.
It's a new feature, and something the developer has some ideas to expand on when he gets time.
With HC on my Xoom, when scrolling throught the app drawer, all I had were apps. With ICS, if I scroll past the end of the apps, it brings me into the widgets that if I tap them, will add to the home screen.
Is there any way to prevent this?
I guess what I'm asking is... With ICS how do I prevent my 3yr old son from being able to scrolling too far in the app drawer and ending up in the widget section where he is adding stuff to the home screens?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
googling this just then... if your using cm9 the trebuchet launcher for cm9 doesnt seems to have the ability to lock the desktop (ie not add anything to home screens) see trebuchet features: http://geekprison.com/4472-download-cm9-cyanogenmod-9-trebuchet-launcher-for-android-4-0-3/
using a launcher such as adw ex... you can not only lock the desktop to stop ya boy from adding stuff, adding widgets uses a long press of the screen so the app list remains widget free
hope this helps
So 3rd party launcher is the only way?
and I guess I'm not as worried about adding stuff to the home screen, as he is getting to the widgets, tapping, and not understanding what its doing so he gets frustrated... unlike when he scrolls through apps, and taps, they launch.
OMG do i love SKY ICS 4.2e....I love that it is just like the S3's launcher. I've found one minor bug with the UI. The calendar app widgets(4x1 Agenda, 4x4 Month, and 4x2 literally crash the TWlauncher over and over as it tries to initiate the widget everytime. I read through the fixes and this is listed. Go into apps find twlauncher in the ALL APPS tab, go into the app and click the clear data button. This removes all your shortcuts but it fixes the launcher. I am wondering if there is anyway to use the calendar widgets? Anyway to install a different calendar apk or just use a different one all together? I really love the stock samsung calendar so I would like to figure a way to fix this. Any help would be great! Thanks!
Hi, I am looking for a way to automatically freeze/defrost/launch an application but from the app drawer.
Titanium backup has a widget that performs exactly this way except that being a widget, it cannot be run from the app drawer.
I do not use items on the homescreen (aside from the dock), nor do I wish to. Currently using Apex lanucher.
So, the main questions are:
Is there a way to use widgets in the app drawer?
Is there a way to perform the function of Titanium Backup freeze/defrost/launch without a widget, yet more automated.
Is there a way to 'intercept' between the app icon and the launching process to auto freeze/defrost the app?
Have been searching for an answer to this for a long time. Ideally if this could be done with full automation, ie when you install a new app it automatically gets a freeze/defrost icon/link/widget/etc without having to set it up.
Any help, info, thoughts, would help immensely.
A bit of a bump as I'd be interested in this too.
There is likely a custom launcher that allows widgets in folders or the app drawer, no?
I have a sort of solution for you that sort of works (hear me out)
I guess you don'tl like the clutter that comes with homescreen widgets (me too)
Heres what i did: use nova launcher, and have multiple docks (swipe to change). You CAN place widgets (1x1 certainly) in the dock, and then just hide it away by swiping to a differnt dock.
I must admit it doesnt work amazingly well when you press it, and takes some time to work sometimes, but its kind of a work around.
I use this solution currently for my Wifi High Performance Widget (1x1), which doesnt need to be touched so its in the dock
Hope this helps
Hi,
I'm trying to have a shortcut in Pie to load the Next Launcher App Drawer but can't manage to have it working.
I tried to use Tasker with info found in the Catlog but I'm too newbie...
Does someone have a tip or could help ?
Thanks.
Am I the only one trying to get a shortcut for next launcher app drawer?
Nope. There's one more. ME! Some people do it with a tasker shortcut. Maybe we can request the dev to add a Next app drawer option just liek there is for the nova, Holo and apex lauchers.
