Is there a way to lock the Dockbar, so when you swipe up while pressing on it, it doesn't disappear.
I checked the settings and didn't see anything to lock it down, but maybe I missed something.

System preferences/ swipe up actions.. you must have this set to show/ hide the dockbar.. also see this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7135799&postcount=183
Thanks. I figured it out, I just needed to drag down while over where the dockbar was.

It would be nice though if there was an option to lockdown the dockbar.

Agree with you.
It needs to be lockable, and also being able to drag it up to open.
Isn't the author of this app an XDA member? maybe we should ping him to see what he thinks.
I thought the same as you two at first, being used to Helix Launcher and the default X10 Home where sliding the drawer up is key.
However, I've since changed a few settings - slide "Up" to enable/disable the Notification bar (because to me as the bar is at the top, sliding towards it to enable/disable seems logical), and slide "down" to enable/disable the dockbar.
When I first tried ADW I was constantly sliding the button by accident. Now I just press it. It took me about a day to get used to it. Now it's not a problem, because I know that even if I hide it by accident (with that initially-natural impulse to "slide the dockbar button up") I can get it back IMMEDIATELY with a quick slide-down on the screen.
I've also changed the drawer screens to one long vertical screen rather than the horizontal pages - this works MUCH better than the stock/Helix versions because it remembers the position you were in when you were last in the drawer. And it's much better than the crappy horizontal drawer where you have to be REALLY careful when flicking horizontally. I also think that - somehow - because the drawer works better this way, I am less inclined to "swipe" the button by accident when I want to activate the drawer.
So if anything I'd suggest -
1) Disable the dockbar hiding when accidentally swiping up on the button
2) Set "swipe up" & "swipe down" defaults as I mentioned above (as it seems more natural)
3) Set default drawer scroll to vertical rather than horizontal as it works sooooo much better.
Seriously, I know what you are both saying but once I had tweaked the settings it's not been an issue for me anymore. At all. And that surprises me as I was firmly in the "Helix Launcher FTW" camp for ages but now I love my ADW Launcher...
Hi.. rodney and aussie.. Are you taking about the dock bar or the action buttons? Sounds like your taking about the action buttons..
Ie.. The ones with the app drawer Button in the middle.
Think you can switch the dock bar off, which is "underneath" the action buttons, if you don't need it.

Well, I'm referring the actual Dockbar, not the icons within and and not about "swipe up" setting.
If you hold you finger on the Dockbar and swipe up it will disappear. That's fine, but for those that accidentally do it and don't want it to disappear, it just a nuisance. It would be great to be able to lock the Dockbar in place so it would not do this.
try this.. ADW settings, ui settings, [uncheck] Dockbar option...
Think this might solve your problem.
That seems to have worked, thx iceman

When you were swiping up before what you were actually doing was revealing the dockbar, which is hidden underneath the action buttons, however when you reveal it, it has no apps in it and so it looks like you've hidden your action buttons. If you want to try it.. Switch the dockbar back on, reveal it (by swiping up, as you know!) Then drag an icon down into what appears to be an empty space... That's your dockbar. To make it disappear and give you your action buttons back quickly touch the app icon and drag down.. Et voila..

I actually figured out the drag up to make it disappear (LOL) and shortly after that the drag back down to make it reappear. But didn't try adding icons to what appears to be a dead space. Cool
ADW Launcher is amazing, but does have a lot of features, which takes a while to wrap your head around.
I set my home button to open and close the dockbar, I find that to be the fastest for me. I would really love if there was a back button binding as well, because when you are in the launcher the back doesn't really serve a purpose. I would totally put it to home screen. oh well.. still the best launcher I have seen.
I've set my home button to show me a "preview" of all 7 of my screens - felt a little odd at first, but I love it now.. 2 presses away from any screen.
Oh, is there a way to set whatever screen you want to be your home screen?

Yes - In Screen preferences - 3rd option down from the top - default screen..
Then you can change your home button binding (in system preferences) to "move to default desktop"

Worked perfectly, thx again Man, ADW is just amazing.
One feature I love is the ability to add more columns and rows. I set mine to 6 columns and 8 rows, using 3 screens. I just love having as many icons on one default screen as possible, then widgets on the others screens.

*facepalm*
If you swipe it up it opens a drawer where you can put more icons, it doesn't disappear.
There's a new version of ADW out, but I can seem to download it via the marketplace. Anyone have a link to download it? Thx

I was using my phone on cyanogen 6.1 and the bottom dock has disappeared, it was replaced by a light black bar about 1/5" tall. How do i get the dock back?
I haven't used ADW for a while but if I remember correctly you just press and hold your screen as you would to create a widget and select custom shortcut then open/close app drawer then just place it where it normally would be at
That is the hidden dock. Per default, it is opened by swiping down on the screen. Swiping a second time should bring back the normal dock

Yes, as above poster stated.. swipe downwards to get it back.
If it does not come back (which I've had happen if my phone goes into landscape mode) I usually just restore my settings from the awd options.
Also, if you want to completely disable the extra dock as I have:
Settings > ADW Settings > UI Settings: Under the "Hidden Dock" section, disable the first checkmark.

Could you tell me a few ways to switch off the screen without using the power button?
(Only Off)
1)
On some Roms (CM11) double tap the status bar - but the bar is quite small, so I am often not hitting.
2)
Power Button Widget - creates a button.
Problem is: My homescreen is full. I can create an invisible button above another widget, but this is not always working (Holo Launcher HD)
3)
Gesture with the activity of Power Button WIdget.
Holo Launcher force closes on my Nexus 4.
Are there other ways?

There are Xposed modules that use the double-tap status bar function.
There are apps available that use the proximity sensor to do the same sort of thing by waving over it and/or tapping it.

Anyone else who is using the stock launcher experiencing this (already submitted issue)?
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-not-working-properly-when-in-an-app.1020737/
1. Have "Back, Home - swipe up on the home button -" activated in the "navigation bar & gestures" settings of the device.
2. Open any app on the device
3. Swipe up on home button or on the right side of the Pill navigation bar in order to access recent apps. In short, try accessing the recent apps screen by swiping up fast.
4. Observe that it doesn't work and after swiping a second time, it takes you instantly on the home screen without accessing the "recents apps" screen

Happens to me randomly with stock launcher set as default. With Nova as default it seems to be resolved.
Just trying to make my new tablet with China ROM feel like home, and want to use my normal launcher "Action Launcher" couldn't figure out how to override the gesture, so turned on the navigation buttons, but the home button does do anything. Anyone know how I can fix the home button, or override the home gesture?
Also the quick tiles, I notice that it doesn't use standard android quick tiles, so the apps that usually have quick tiles don't show up. Can I add more tiles?
Tablet did OTA update to 13.0.364, and I do have L1 windvine. Anything else I should do?
Nova Launcher works great for me. You can then set it to the default launcher. I keep the Lenovo gestures and have added a home button to the home screen.
