Hello,
This is a question for apex launcher users: do you have a menu appearing when you long press an icon on the desktop? With "remove", "uninstall", "edit", etc? I'm pretty sure that I used to have this menu but it doesn't appear anymore: I just have a "remove" option on top of the screen.
What if you long press and drag the icon: does this "remove" option appear? (and the menu disappears?)
Reinstalling apex launcher didn't help and apex developers couldn't help me either (it seems that on my phone, apex always think that I'm dragging the icon)
I have a nexus 5 with android 4.4.4
Thank you
Go to apex settings->behavior settings.. And tick enable quick access
Don't miss to hit thank button if it helps
Yes it helped a lot!
I'll hit the Thanks button as soon as it appears (it seems I need to have a minimum number of posts)
Thank you!

I'm having a problem with my ADW Launcher which is currently driving me mad and I hope someone is able to shed light on the problem I'm having.
I am using Streakdroid 1.9.0 update and after factory reset and flashing the rom (installing ONLY Gingerbread), I install ADW Launcher (free) through Android Market.
After installing ADW Launcher, I notice that when I long press on the icons on the home screen, there is no EDIT, MANAGE, REMOVE etc menu. Just a simple trash icon on the bottom of the homescreen to remove the icon appears when I long press on an icon on the homescreen.
The problem is, I remember I used to have a menu with EDIT, MANAGE, REMOVE etc previously with my ADW Launcher when I long press on the homescreen icons. How do I bring that back?
Another difference is that there is no more Lock/Unlock Screen option when I hit the menu button on homescreen anymore.
Anyone can help or shed light on this anomaly, PLEASE HELP. It's driving me crazy just wondering how I can get back the menu!
Thanks!
Have you tried using the paid version? I can email it to you

Hi all,
I have a purchased version of ADW Launcher. (ADWLauncher EX 1.3.3)
I cannot figure out to get the home screen button on my NS to show the 5 screens all at the same time, then I select the screen I want to go to.
Right now, when I press the home screen button, it just goes straight to the middle screen.
I used to be able to do it with the free version of ADW.

Pinch to zoom on the home screen. You can modify pressing what does what in the ADW settings.
Edit: Menu -> ADW Settings -> General Behavior -> Gestures -> Home button binding
Awesome,
Thanks for the super quick answer, zephiK

Hi guys!
I've got a question about making the homescreen your own.
I'm talking about the call and browser button next to the menu button.
Is there a way to change these two into other buttons?
Cause I use the opera mini browser instead of the usual browser.
Thnx!

You should get a pop-up message when pressing the browser button on the Gingerbread homescreen asking which browser to use (if you have more than one installed).

Dude, that wasnt the question
OT: I don't think it's possible, I havent found a way
You can change your homescreen icons, but you need a home screen replacement app.
Something like Go Launcher or ADW Launcher. Both are amazing home screen replacements that let you modify and change your home screen to your liking.
Either of those apps will allow you to change the bottom buttons.
Actually, if i'm not mistaken, even with the stock home screen, you should be able to long press the icons in the bottom bar and drag them off the menu bar. You can replace them with whatever app you want by doing the same - long press and drag into the space for the menu.
I have the Milestone XT720 rooted with Android 2.2.1 and running CM 6.3.0-RC3 for nearly a year. Overall things work well, occasionally will have the phone app hang and have to reboot, but not that big an issue.
I found one thread that sort-of related to my problem, but there was no answer included (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060466).
The 'all apps' icon in the center of the ADW (at the bottom of the screen) vanished, heck, I may have done something to cause it for all I know. For the life of me, I can't find how to get back to the 'all apps' section. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. How can I get the icon back for it? When I click the greyed star, it says "No application defined yet, drop something here."
I would think if it's something you accidentally did you could delete the cache & data from manage app, of course you will have to reset all of your customization if you do that.
On the home screen press n hold > Launcher Actions > Open/Close app drawer.
You will see the "All Apps" icon on the screen. Just drag n drop it to the original place

I have a stock ASUS TF300T, with the 4.2.XXX software update from ASUS is there a way to lock the home screen or an app or something simple to keep from bumping the apps and widgets around?
Yeah, but not with the stock launcher just open google play and search apex launcher or nova launcher and install 1 of them
Press the home button you should see a dialog pop up choose apex/nova and click always
On apex just press the "apex menu button" or just your devices menu button and press " lock desktop"
For nova not really know that but it should be in the menu as well
