Just upgraded to ICS on my AT&T phone, and shortly realized that the widget descriptions in the list do not show up (thus making it really hard to figure out what each is). Holding my finger on an entry does make the text visible, but trying to peek under my finger to see what it says is still annoying.
I've even switched between several different launchers (ADW, Nova), and there is no difference.
Any help? Thanks.

It's not ICS. It's the launcher. The stock ICS launcher will not allow the “press and hold" to select widgets. You have to go to the app drawer on the stock launcher.
I guarantee that if you switch to the stock launcher, the option won't even be there. It's one of the things that they removed in ICS.

Well, I see now that the stock launcher doesn't allow you to press-and-hold to select widgets. But it seems to be simply a matter of fonts/colors that would fix everything. All other launchers I tried allowed the action of the widget to be added this way, and the descriptor is there and shown when the screen is pressed. It just seems like the default color is the same as the background, so you can't see it.
Oh well, thanks for the info.

You would probably need to decompile the launcher apk and edit the background color... what launcher do you prefer? Maybe I'll look into it as I happen to be on ICS for the time being.
Sent from my phone's mind
Edit: then again, maybe it's something in our framework-res.apk- i'll look into it a bit
Edit#2: yep, thinking it's some leftover stuff in the framework-res.apk... before I had a chance to dig through and try to change it, I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21101599 - works fine with ADW. Just remove the apk from the zip, put on your sdcard, click on it and install as a normal app.
Yeah I think it's system related altered as the function he's speaking of works on my skyrocket running apex launcher.

I'm having the same issues. Wouldn't mind the stock ICS method of going to the Widgets tab except there is no way to quickly go to a widget that happens to be at the end of the list (e.g., a widget starting with the letter Y or Z). You have to sit there paging repeatedly until you reach the end. I was looking for a way to quickly search for a widget http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927036 but doesn't seem like that's possible.
I don't know why they switched to this method of widget adding. Sure it's nice to be able to see the widget graphic but that paging gets tedious. Many launchers allow you to do a vertical continuous setting for the app drawer. Could they have a widget tab that does the same thing? Then we could quickly zip to the end.
Using the "App Widget Picker" app mentioned by alteredlikeness seems to be a great workaround for ICS on this phone (thanks!) and doesn't suffer from the same font issue.
I tried a several other launchers, and I have two observations for anyone else curious:
The "Widget Picker" is pretty much required if you're using ADW or Nova as a launcher (and probably others) and you want to be able to add widgets by press-and-holding the home screen, because there is no way to do it from their App drawer (there is no Widgets tab).
If you're using Apex, then you still need the Widget Picker for the same reason UNLESS YOU ARE ROOTED, then you can also have the option of adding widgets the "official" way from the app drawer. Apex popped up a message to that effect when I tried to add a Widget from that tab in the App drawer.
So has anyone come up with a workaround for those of us that aren't rooted? I'm using Go Launcher and I have this issue when viewing widgets.

I didn't try it with Go launcher, but you shouldn't need to be rooted. See previous posts. Just install the app "App Widget Picker" and you should be fine. When you go to add a widget, then make sure you select that app instead of the default. Worked for me.
I've haven't had any success using the app widget picker. When I long-press for widgets I do get a new widget list with white text and a black background. When I select a widget, app widget picker crashes. I've tried rebooting and it still crashes. I'm open to suggestions of how to try to fix this.
Apex Launcher alone now has the long-press for widget function, with no text/color issues..
Sent from my phone's mind
Hmmm. I'm apparently having the same problem. Honestly, I switched back to the stock launcher a while ago and haven't been using my own suggestion for this app. I can't seem to get it to work either, and I'm out of ideas. I just tried switching back to Nova launcher and ran into a lot of crashes with that, too.
Thanks for checking. Let me know if you come up with anything.
Guys I personally think that this is an Atrix 2 ICS software issue. It always happens and happened to me when I had my A2. On my skyrocket I use Nova and don't have a problem with the press to hold widget function. Works great, and no force close issues.
I'm in the same boat. It would be nice to have a widget picker that worked properly on ADW.
:update:
If you are rooted use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
I finally got it to work, but I had to root my phone to do it (used the steps mentioned in the first thread of the Development forum).
In order to install any of the previously mentioned replacement Widget pickers, it needs to be installed into /system/app, and you needed to be rooted to do it. Simply installing the .apk the normal way causes it to crash when you pick the widget from the list.
Needless to say, it was a lot of hoops to go through just for a press-to-hold widget picker, but it now works perfectly.

OK guys, if you havent heard of the New LG Optimus phones Series that just came out in korea and Might be here soon in the USA,
found some apks & other things from the original "LG Optimus Z phone" first phone
to launch from the Optimus Series
looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so i play around with the apks, ( launcher and widgets ) and it work perfectly
on the evo (not sure if it works for other phones )with no editing necessary,
THE GOODS
-this launcher makes the phone look a little like the HTC sense cuz of the bottom dock , lets you drag any icons from your menu to the dock.
and a Samsung Galaxy Launcher feel because of the dots on top for amount of screens you have.
-It has a new way of controlling your apps in your menu which i havent seen in many other android phones out ( maybe its just me ), which lets you organize your application on your menu as "categories" or "group" , which its really cool and you can drag and put it anywhere in the menu you want.
THE BAD
- Only lets you have 5 to 7 screens only, and it cant let you have less than 5 screens (which sucks)
Some Other Goodies That Work
-World Clock widget
-Analog Clock widgets ( 8 of them )
-Calendar Widget
-Memo Widget
- Home Selector App
-LG Wallpapers
THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIX
-Launcher works normal and you can play around with it and no problem but one bug that i wish someone (DEV) to fix is that whenever you open a application and you try to go back by pressing the home bottom on your evo it "Force closes", THE SAME WHEN YOU Launch the "Home selector app" and you pick "LG as your Launcher" Sometimes it "force closes", from there everything else works perfectly and if someone could fix this problem than i might make this my default launcher
- and a way to customize the icons as shortcuts or other way, & drag it to the dock ( not sure if theres other ways ).
but for now ENJOYYY IT AND PLAY AROUND WIT IT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK????
*****Make sure you download the LG HOME & HOME SELECTOR apk first than download the widgets to make it work******
do you have a bookmark widget?
awesome! hopefully one day HTC lets you use their widgets with any launcher
thanks for this. good eye. ill be working with it.
I might be missing something but did you not include the clocks?
I might ne missing something too... where is the download link
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
This is a very handsome launcher, on par with Sense, totally destroys Motoblur and Touchwiz
Those clocks are part of the Widgets. Which is the zip file And yes all the links to download are there in the post.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Nice find!! But I too cant find the analog clock widgets, only the world clock widget.
Some things Ive noticed:
1. These widgets work with other launchers which is nice!
2. In the world clock app, I cant seem to delete Seoul as a city.
3. Default Categories in the laucher can only be renamed, not deleted.
4. The notes widget only lets you have 1 note.
p.s. Im not complaining at all! These are very nice additions to android. Hopefully there are some more widgets coming from LG!!
Edit: Ive noitced that in the screen shots you provided, the world clock widget has a settings button. Mine doesnt, is that where the option to load the analog clocks is?
How do I actually install this launcher?? I want to know!!!
Hm, that actually looks really cool. If a Dev could fix the force close problem I REALLY might use this as my default launcher...

i was able to install the widgets no problem. but the other files show as .bin something... the widgets are really cool but i really do like the launcher.
I don't know if this was said but the bottom tab is like the vibrant dock/tab you need to have the app draw open and drag the icons down to the dock from there.
This is seriously great.
I like 3 screens but this may replace ADW :gasp:
Good find!
Lots of FCs when hitting home from another app.
To install just rename to an apk extension.
Seriously lol how do I get to the analog clocks I've installed and downloaded everything and I can't find them
MY MISTAKE, yea i did forget to put the analog clock widgets sorry , its been updated so download the widget zip pack and its the first apk name as "analog clock apk" .
gonna have to admit, I installed this on my install of cm nightly. I'm really getting into it.
I'd love to see some interest in figuring out how to fix the force closes though. I've looked at my logcat and haven't really come up with thing anything (I'm novice at best though 8P)
Thanks to the OP for the find!
Thanks for the downloads, I just read a review of the device and was hoping someone else was interested in the launcher. Can't wait to use it on my Captivate.
Hopefully it to get noticed by someone who can perfect it to get rid of any FC's.

and select "Home selector" On your homescreen.
2) download LG EVO Launcher / Widgets to the SD card and download it as you would any other app with "ASTRO , file manager ETC".
3) (ROOT USERS ONLY) Custom font, just flash in recovery as a normal flashable zip
LG LAUNCHER IN THE MARKET
i been scrolling in the android market and came across this application which looks like the port of the old launcher i did a while back,
(this version has bugs on them and doesnt work very well)
i want to first say that it took me a time to make this launcher to work, LG is the owner of this launcher, but still give credit to those who work and put time on this, damn.

I like it however the calendar widget does not seem to work. Is it suppose to pull the events from the sense calendar or go to it when you click a date? As of right now when I click on a date in the calendar widget it does nothing. How did you get the sense clock to work, or is it something diff (forgot the name of the other one lol).

When you are on a home screen and long press on a widget, you now see more options than before including shortcuts to the Application info and Market pages for the app. You can also quickly set up custom shortcuts using ADW’s menus rather than the standard Android process.
New app drawer functions on long press:
These new app drawer functions are probably the most impressive. You can now long press on apps from within the drawer to see a variety of options, giving you more control over the look and feel. You can also add folders directly in, plus a bunch of other shortcuts. After playing with the new app drawer for 30 seconds, you see how amazing these new tweaks will be once this thing gets fine-tuned and is ready for release.

wow I am surprised this is thread isn't getting attention. with so many ADW users I'm surprised I had to stumble upon the beta 2 version. I have been looking forward to a skinnable app drawer launcher for sooooo long and I love ADW.
many people like Adw but as a launcher it does not have anything special. Lets say similar to Go launcher.
Adw has only cosmetic things. None of them are usefull very much.

I disagree with that statement..
second Hidden dock
adjustable column rows
drag and drop apps to the dockbar
probably more that i can't think of on the top of my head..
and to whoever said something about the dockbar background.. if you purchase ADW Ex it offers that feature to easily switch out the dockbar bg :x
Go Launcher is good don't get me wrong, (currently using it) just that only reason I'm not on ADW is cause my theme just works too well to not have the ability to have a looping theme.
with Go launcher:
* you can kill applications
* you can hide icons
* you can uninstall
* you can create folders
* it has built-in task manager
* it has built-in recent
from straight app-drawer.
Adw has none of these. But it has many dock backgrounds, themes, fancy colors...etc.
You decide?

With froyo .. you don't need to KILL any applications..
you can hide icons in ADW by creating categories.. and you don't need to go to a menu to make them show when you "hide" them..
you can uninstall apps from adw by holding them to the trashcan..
you can't have folders in the app drawer in adw but like i said before.. categories..
You can always access recent apps by holding the home button.. which I have always done.
As I've said.. Go Launcher is a GREAT launcher.. but don't cast out ADW that easily..

Uninstallig apps works the same way in go launcher, furthermore, you can also uninstall them directly in the drawer.
Accessing recent apps pressing the home button works as well, however, there also is a category for that in the drawer.

You choose open/close dock as swipe up action and when the dock is closed you drop apps on the bottom part of the screen.

I'm using Go Launcher, but I'm sticking to 2.60 since that's the last one that returns to your home screen when you exit an app. I really don't like the way the newer versions return to the app drawer instead. Why this change wasn't made optional, I really don't understand

I think that's a tipical return, if you open an app from app drawer, when you press the back key to exit, it back from where the application was opened, instead of press back key, just press home key .

Thanks for replying
The behaviour used to be different and I preferred it that way. I usually want to actually exit an app, rather than leave it running in the background. It means that next time I start the app, it starts at its 'start page' rather than where I last left it running.
I'm not trying to say everyone should do it my way (although I'm not the only one who has complained about the change) - I am surprised it wasn't made an option. This is perhaps the most customisable launcher out there. I can choose from a million different transitions, separately for vertical app drawer, horizontal app drawer and home screens; I can choose what kind of home screen indicators I have, and whether they should fade out; I can configure 2 different actions for each dock icon, and choose a different icon for each. So it's really surprising that this change was made without providing the option for the old behaviour.
why is the title 'FINAL'? according to the website, theres another version coming.
My favorite launcher.
However, the sphere and cilinder transition effect for the homescreen(not the appdrawer) is very laggy on my galaxy s2 while it is smooth on the older galaxy s. Howcome?
And sometimes the appdrawer icon on the dock doesn't response.
How are the apps sorted in folders? They seem almost completely random to me. I thought it was order that you add them but I add new apps to the folder and they wind up in the middle of the folder.
It would be nice if they could be sorted in alphabetical order.
i am using adw , who can tells what differences between them?

Cause pressing the back key one last time is such a hard challenge
Well those of you who know adw launcher ex, know that there is a main dock and another dock. The other dock doesnt allow me to add apps onto the screen of my kindle fire. So does anyone know how i can make it so its just the main dock only? Also what are some good launchers out there?

Like this menu/more/adwsettings/ui settings/ then if i remember i believe there is a hidden dock settings there should be a setting to disable it.
I use Regina 3d launcher which looks spectacular on the kindle
I was using GO Launcher EX on the stock ROM and then ADW when I flashed CM7 but now I'm back to GO with black glass, a few select go widgets, the transparent widgets theme, and bigrubberpepper's volume control. I like how everything integrates, it seems a lot more polished.

What do you use for the status bar replacement? I'm on MoDaCo GR6 w/GO and am trying to replace the status/bottom bar and also stop it from changing wallpapers from my stock theme one when it goes into sleep/lock mode.

That should help with the changing lockscreen. I did it on the fire itself without using adb though, just use your root explorer app, navigate to /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper, and disable write access. Anytime you want to change the wallpaper, though, you have to enable write access, change it, then disable.
If anyone knows a better way, feel free to chime in

Slick wallpaper!
For some reason Go launcher ex is super smooth on my Archos 70 but choppy on my Kindle Fire. I switched my KF to ADW and it's smooth as melted butter.

That is Go's Google Search Widget with the transparency widget theme installed.
I, too, love Go's transparent widgets. The scrolling calendar is great.
Thanks Bleeds!

Anyone know how to get that home dock from above?
Edit: looks like i figured it out. Cleared adw settings and reinstalled. Sorry
Has anyone been able to use SPB launcher and keep it as their default. I'm running CM7 and am able to install it and run it fine but it doesn't show up in my options when I clear defaults and press the home key. Any ideas? Thanks

I've recently been running Zeam on CM7. I like the minimalism and found it to be really zippy. No issues so far.
Is the Go Launcher EX smooth on the KF? I am gonna flash CM7 soon and wanted to integrate a launcher into the rom I will flash. Also, I used in on the stock, but sometimes the icon labels were cutoff/the Go Launcher EX menu was being clipped, I guess due to the bottom bar on the KF, is anyone else getting these problems?

I was having the same issues with the icons being cut off on the bottom. When I was using Go Launcher it seemed choppy in my opinion. I switched to ADW Ex and it is super smooth and runs really fast on my Kindle.

Indeed. Plus, you can stack the dock with unlimited app icons negating the need to fiddle with folders or the default app drawer, which is kinda lacking IMO. I put my 20 or so most used apps in the dock and run altdrawer as the app drawer since it is more configurable. No more delays waiting for the home screen to re-draw when closing apps.
