I installed something similar to quick settings, it was free. It may have been Extended controls but I think it started with U. Anyway, extended controls would work but I can't add an app launcher. Does anyone know what this is? It gave me quick access to settings and allowed me to launch apps. Ideas?
D'oh. Nevermind. Found it. Called widgetsoid.

At some point in time, I set my Droid 2 to launch the Messaging app when I press the home key twice. I use ADW launcher. I switched to chompsms and want this application to open instead of the default messenger and I cannot seem to find the setting to change it. Anyone know? I don't even remember if it's an ADW or default setting, but I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks.
Solved. In case anyone has a similar problem, it's in the application section of settings. Doesn't look like you can launch a custom app from it, though. Oh well.
I recently upgraded from the CM7 stock ADW.Launcher (1.3.6) to ADWLauncher EX 1.2.2.
Firstly, I want to support the Dev of one of the best and most popular Apps out there.
The Feature I was most interested in was the ability to edit the Menu (I hate that More \|/ dropdown, totally unnecessary clicking).
When I try to do this:
Menu>More>ADWSettings>General Behavior>System Preferences>Customize Menu>
and then uncheck items, and/or move them around, the changes don't stick when I go back to my Home Screen.
Or more accurately, they stick about 1 in 20 tries, but I have found no rhyme or reason to it.
Anyone else experienced this same problem?
I was also discussing this on the CM Forum
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18309-force-adwlauncher-settings-into-settings-menu/
And I'll post a comment directly on the ADWLauncher EX page as well
http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/2011/01/adwlauncher-ex-1-2-2-released/#comments
Workaround
Well, I think this is almost certainly a bug, but I did figure out a workaround.
Menu>More>ADWSettings>General Behavior>System Preferences>Customize Menu>
Make the change(s) you want
Press Back button
Click back into Customize Menu>
Make the change(s) you want again
Press Home button
A way to put the ADW Launcher EX menu back into the settings menu?

I read your post on the other forum and was wondering if you or others have found a way to put the ADW Launcher EX menu back into the settings menu?
Once I purchased the EX version, made it my default, and deleted the regular ADW launcher, the ADW menu disappeared from the settings menu. I also tried to use root manager and move the file to /system/app folder from the /data/app, rebooted but nothing shows up.
Anyone have a solution to this?
No solution yet

Sorry to say, I haven't really come up with anything yet.
For the time being, I have settled on using the Customize Menu option, according to the hack I described above.
Since my [REQUEST] in the CM forum went totally unresponded, I think I will submit it in the Bug Tracker.
Skrki was discussing how Requests should be best handled, but until a more unified (and possibly democratic) approach is implemented, I think I'll just double-post in the Forums and Bug Tracker, and give links to each other.
I asked some devs here as well and they don't seem to know either... Let us know here if anyone reponds to you from the CM forums with an answer thanks!
This continues to be an issue...Customize Menu still does nothing, the workaround previously mentions seems to have some effect, but half of the menu items don't show up at all, regardless of what I do.
It's driving me nuts that I can't access the "Manage Apps" or "Remove Catalog" options...I don't even know what they do but they sound useful.
Has any progress been made on this?
I've tried using the workaround. It works, but not for the "Manage Apps". It is listed as enabled, but doesn't show. By far my most used menu item on stock, wish I could have it here.
I also found that the customize dock bar options dont stick either. Not sure what the issue is
So glad I found this thread confirming that I'm not crazy. No matter what I do the 'Manage Apps' button doesn't show up. Everything else seems to work fine, but this one button doesn't show. This happened on both my stock unrooted Nexus One and on a CM7 Nexus one (both with ADW Launcher EX). Since its been awhile anyone has posted here, as anyone found a solution yet?
Thanks.
Hi,
I would have posted this in the Codename Android thread but since I'm a new user it seems I'm forced to clog up this forum. Sorry.
Anyway, I just upgraded from Codename Android 3.6.6 to 3.8.0. It's good but they seem to have removed one of the notification centre power widgets - there used to be two and now the one I was using isn't there any more. The other one does the job but isn't as customisable and the 2g/3g toggle doesn't seem to work.
So I was wondering if anyone could help me obtain an apk for the power widget, or alternatively recommend me one that is customisable and has a 2g/3g toggle that isn't just a settings shortcut.
Thanks in advance!
there are numerous applications that can be found in google play.
Did a 10 second search and found this, which seems really nice
notification widget

Thanks, but I've actually tried that one before and it doesn't have a 3G toggle. I was kind of hoping someone would just whip out an apk from an older version...
Would it be possible for me to lift the feature from an older version of CNA, and install it on this? Or would I have to program something? I can't really do that...
I just downloaded and installed the "Sidebar" app and without knowing, it only allows you to add Apps and Specific Pre-Determined System Widgets to it. I used to have the "Swapps" app and it would allow you to add shortcuts to it, but unfortunately this Sidebar app does not allow that. I'm wanting an app that simply when pressed(run the.apk) it will simply take you to the default home screen. It doesn't have to be anything fancy at all..just something simple will work just fine. I know you're saying that I should just switch back to Swapps, but I prefer Sidebar instead.
Thanks!
I'm sorry, but I think I made this in the wrong forum. Would a mod please move this to the proper forum if it in fact is in the wrong one? Thank You!
I am using Go launcher, it is great, it is so cool. But you know what is the most stupid thing about Go launcher? I think it is the hide-app function. Anyone can just click the "hide app" button and see what is being hidden. I always think that someone will open it someday. It is so awkward, how did you guys solve the problem?
That's really a problem.

I have been using Go launcher also, it's a nice launcher. But this problem really bothers me. Wish this problem can be fixed soon!:crying:
It's because the 'hide apps' option isn't privacy-related.
It's there to hide apps from your app list that serve no purpose being there. For instance, Live Wallpapers put an icon in the app list, which forces you to open the wallpaper picker anyway. If you're like me and have about 30 of them installed, they clutter up the list. Ditto for Zooper Widget packs and apps you can't uninstall but never use. (No every launcher user has root access).
I also use Go Launcher. It's one of the best launcher apps. But I never tried app hiding until now...
My phone is password protected and since I am the only one using it I don't really see a reason why I should hide them.
And if there is someone who really looks out to find hidden apps.. That's a person I would not give me phone
