I have used a lot of "top" launchers and none them have had this feature.
Keep in mind, I am on gingerbread.

Adw ex no longer able to change dock background?

I've been searching high and low. I can't seem to change the dock background on Adw ex anymore. Did they move the location of the option, or did they take it out completely? I am using this since launcher pro doesn't play well with the leaked GB release.

tried searching for it and didn't find anything relevant - can you please post a link?

You sure you're on the latest update?
I use go launcher also, and have no problems.
I even uninstalled tw, and go launcher is my only launcher.
If you have titanium backup pro, try freezing tw, and see if that stops the issues you're having.

I'd be especially careful when freezing TW. Make sure that you NEVER delete your launcher, because if you do even accidentally, you're screwed.
I did that once. Whole damn screen stayed black. I was trying out several launchers and was using sbp shell and did not like it. I messed around not paying attention and deleted it before switching default launchers. For like a half hour I just kept hitting buttons and through the grace of god got the little use this by default pop up for my launchers. I must say the whole experience sucked.

That sucks. I usually delete tw and what ever launcher comes with my custom roms because I love zeam launcher. I never encountered a tw related problem though

Same here, tw gets uninstalled as soon as I make sure go launcher is working properly.
I just freeze it for a couple days, and if nothing happens, I just smack that uninstall button!

Or just install ADW and delete the launcher from system/app. Much easier.

Nova launcher is the best. Look for it in the galaxy nexus app section and flash via cwm. That's what I'm using and its great!

Wow, what a smooth launcher! Excuse my ignorance but where is this from? It's really good except you can't re-size widgets and change dock icons.

I pulled it from an Oxygen ROM port for the N1. And you can change shortcuts on the dock. Just hold the icon. There are also more settings when you hit Menu then Launcher Prefs.

What I meant was the ability to use a custom icon for apps in dock.
Ahh, that. I prefer the stock Gingerbread look, cause it's sexy and fast.

QQLauncher icon problem

Guys, I think I'm loving the QQLauncher already. The problem is sometimes the apps disappear or its icons are hidden. Sometimes, the icon is simply an Android "apk" only.
See attached sample. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and any work around?
Thanks in advance!

MIUI style launcher?

Does anyone know of a launcher that gets rid if the app drawer? I love the feature of miui but with the lack of updates I'd like to try a more current ROM.

You can also use nova launcher (or similar) and long press the app drawer and drag it off the screen. I guess you would have to set apps to 'auto add' after install from the market and drag each app out as well.... I usually get rid of the app drawer icon and set it to open with a swipe up...
