[Q] How to remove the dock for ADW EX??

Hi,
I am using ADW Ex for my Iconia.
But it default have a bar at the bottom which I guess is the dock.
May I know how to remove the dock. I don't need any dock from ADW. I prefer the original honeycomb looks...

go to adw settings then click UI settings and go the Hidden Dock bar and uncheck(use as primary and dock bar) then go back under UI settings and click Main dock click dock style and select none.... that should do it

Yes, it works...
thanks for the information...

so adw ex updated and now i cannot remove the bottom dock bar as well. Anyone else having this issue?

Yea.....at a quick glance on the update version the only way I see to hide the dock is
under settings/general behavior/Gestures/Swipe up or Swipe down actions........choose open/close Dockbar
that will hide or show it with a swipe of the finger

Thanks for the heads up, I saw that tweet from adw yesterday and it works, but it looks like they are aware and tryng to fix that.

Guess I am the only one here who likes the dock?
Even with the dock ADW still gives you more usable space than the stock Launcher does. plus I can re size any widget I want.

^^^ this!
Love the dock! I really like ADW EX on my tablet, but don't care for it much on my kids' two NookColors. Ever since the latest update, the dock will not rotate down to the bottom of the Nook screen in horizontal mode. Works fine on my A500 and the old version even worksfine on the Nooks. The dev borked it in the latest version.

A MUST HAVE APP FOR THE NOTE (big screen devices)

Hello Status Bar.
Use a button to pull down the notification bar !!
Very handy with this BIG ASS screen.
Put it everywhere you want .....

Nice sharing but its not necessary to ''touch'' notification bar to pull it down.
If you ''touch'' anywhere in screen and scroll a little bit down, notification bar will be appear..

Not in widgetlockerscreen and most of the non stock launcher it also won't work !
unfortunately ....
Thats why this app is so handy ...

Another option is Go Launcher Ex.
It enables you to configure gestures for the dock icons.
One of these options is to bring down the notification bar.
Just putting it out here in case peopel wanna know...

very cool all...just put it in my dock...thanks

I've been using Go Launcher for over a year, and this is the first time I realized I could do this.

Some other launchers such as Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher Ex and Go Launcher Ex to mention a few let you set gestures for various things such as the notification bar. So no, the stock launcher isn't the only launcher for this gesture

I prefer setting ADW's swipe down on homescreen gesture for opening Notification tray myself...

I have used gestures since... forever?
I have no idea why this isnt added to the assorted skins or even vanilla Android. It makes so much sense.
I have my gestures setup so that swipe up = open app drawer, swipe down = open notification bar.
Another advantage of this is it means not having to have an app drawer icon on your dock, leaving more room for quick access icons.
Speaking of dock... another pro tip for GO Launcher EX users. Long press on an icon in the dock and hit 'gesture'. Voila - your dock icon can now perform another action by swiping up on the icon instead of just tapping it. Your 5 bar dock is now 10 actions.
I love GO Launcher.

yes, go launcher ex , use its swipe for notification. But it has alot of good functions too

Just another unneeded app running in the background? No thank you

I installed GO Launcher EX on Christmas on my EVO & it is so much faster & cooler now that I think I can wait to see the SGNote hardware in a US store as long as it's Q1 2012 (as EVO's video camera still sucks & Note does obviously have cooler abilities but would ideally like to try it in my hand first). No fan of TouchWiz here & would likely be using GO Launcher EX on Note.

Very useful, thank you for sharing.

[Q] Is there a way to hide or disable the menu bar?

Is there a way to hide or disable the menu bar at the bottom? I would like to replace it with something more minimalistic like zMooth. (on kindle fire stock ROM)

Anyone find anything, I found by installing "No Lock" and moving it to /system/app I can activate it and restart the kindle which causes it to start without locking or showing the menu bar. However the problems with this are:
1. I can't have any security on the device, adding a third party lock screen lke magic locker or go locker bring back the menu bar.
and
2. The bar comes back occasionally for random unknown reasons.
I would also like to know if it is possible to bring the menu bar back in certain applications once it is disabled so I have more control in the web browser. (fullscreen/bookmarks)

Bump, anyone?

I've been trying to figure out how to do this too since I first got it. Even when I use Go Launcher, the menu bar is still there. Very annoying.

You can do it in ADW.

I am aware of this, (it can also be done in go launcher) however I would like it to be replaced with zmooth not just minimized, also adw and go launchers docks get partially cutoff by the minimized menu bar.

Nevermind.

Thanks for pointing this out, the bottom bar was driving me nuts.

Launcher frustration!

Just got my PH-1 and I usually use Nova, but no matter what grid combo I select I have this gab between the last row of icons and the dock and I cannot add any icons there??? its about 12mm wide, I even tried evie launcher, same thing, it wont let me add icons above the dock. any ideas/solution, hate this blank space between app icons and dock on Homescreen.

I'm running Nova and I don't have that issue.
You might need to tweak the settings but I came from a LG G6 and my settings just worked.

hi, in settings what have you got your display settings as? default with default font? are you in immersive with nav bar dropping away after a few seconds or is it static? thanks
Fixed: some conflict (I guess) between settings in Nova/Evia and immersive and resized Navbar. so I just went back to stock settings and restored a nova backup and all is well.

How do I switch to old recents?

Hey so the Android Pie recents is total utter crap. Is there an easy way to get an alternate recents? Maybe a build.prop edit? I'm rooted Btw so can try many a thing. Thanks!
P.S. Gonna probably go back to buttons too because the gesture for recents drives me nuts.

I would like to know also, but I'm not rooted. The scrolling in it is terrible. If i swipe too fast, it goes through several windows at once. If i scroll too slowly, it bounces the same window back in. I can't use navigation bar because i use long-press of home button to turn off screen.

If you guys are rooted, install a second launcher and Freeze the Oneplus Launcher. You will be back to the old recent. Enable the buttons as well.

WHAAAT, I thought this was a Pie implementation

It's a pie feature that is built in in the default launcher

On the odd occasion a launcher can go whack, if you have another it will automatically go to it or bring you a toast to go to it.It's a rare occurrence but for this reason it's good to always have two functioning launchers, you don't need to set the spare up, it's just there for an emergency till you can get home or whatever and figure out why your launcher is hung. I've diabled the stock launcher myself and use Action but picked up a spare on the play store just in case.
