You can also go into the settings and untick "LAB" and "RAB" (Left and Right Action Buttons) to get rid of them all together.
If you are new to ADW, go to the nexus one forum and there is a how to on the features and settings for ADW that I wrote.

Home Launcher Replacement Issue

Ok.. So here's the issue. I'm using Nova Prime.(This might not matter which launcher you use) And I noticed that if I uninstall Nova and use the stock launcher again, it shows shortcuts of things I have downloaded. Problem is most of these I already uninstalled while using Nova. But they still show on stock launcher. Is there a way to stop the Note from creating a shortcut icon on the home page so this doesn't happen? I really don't want to keep using a different home launcher knowing that in the background it will be creating home page shortcuts on the stock launcher. As I said when this happens they are present even If I uninstall the app while using a different home launcher..
Am curious to see if anyone else can recreate this issue. To do so, install something from the play store while using a different home launcher(Nova would be best since its what i'm using) and make sure to set Nova or whatever you are using to default then uninstall the app and uninstall the launcher. You should now see the app icon shortcut still present on the stock launcher and when you press it it says app not found or something.
Anyway thanks . Keep in mind if you uninstall your preferred launcher you will loose your settings so do it only if you want to. Either way I hope there is a way to stop our tab from creating "desktop shortcuts" in the background of other launchers:silly:
i think u can disable "create shortcut in desktop" in play store's settings

Auto add widgets is the one, if you uncheck it there will be no more shortcuts on homescreen when you download from playstore.

Home key programmable?

I got google app (whatever that is) disabled so that fixes the problem of google starting when I hold down the home key. Is there any way to program it to something else? Now it does nothing for a long press. That's still better than bringing up google-anything but I would like to be able to assign some function to the key.

Thanks. I didn't find that in the settings but then I realized maybe you meant there is an app for it?
Anyway I fixed it in Nova Launcher.

Nova launcher

I'm using Nova Launcher on my S8+ but when I swipe up to open the app drawer, I can see the home screen dock icons while swiping and it goes away when the app drawer is fully open? Is there an option to disable it?

That's a normal feature when using "swipe to open" drawer.

So nothing can be done or an option to turn it off unless Nova Launcher fix it with an update? As it is fine with the stock S8 launcher with swipe to open drawer.

I use 0.5 animation speed. You can join Google+ community of Nova Launcher. Maybe someone there can help, it's very active community.

I see the dock too and I'm on the latest beta. Doesn't really bother me as it's extremely quick.

And you can reassign gestures, with pretty good granularity.

not really, the home gesture doesnt work if you use the two-side return method.
i changed it to sliding from bottom (left is multi task, home then back on the right)
so the home launcher can be set to an alternate one without issues/phone reverting to the inbuilt launcher? double tap to wake works? thanks
