Hi everyone,
I have read many Threads, but I cant find a reponse.
How I can change the look of my dock.
For some people that dont know or for me, if I use the wrong name, for dock i mean the home bar in the low screen.
Like in my image I have 3 icon (Browser - applicazioni - E-mail)
I want 4 or 5 icon. I have read that someone use LauncherPro but HOW!
I have try but I can only erase the 2 icon and the middle icon stay.
Maybe it's a problem of firmware I dont know, plz someone can give me a step by step for change it?
TNX for U help!
Ok step by step
1. pick up your tab
2. unlock your tab
3. navigate to the android market
4. search for either launcher pro or adw launcher (my self i use adwEX)
5. download whichever one you prefer
6. hit the home button
7. it will now ask which home screen you want to use samsung or launcher/adw
8. select the one you downloaded
9. you will now have a blank home screen
10. press the button left to the home button and go into the launcher settings
11. navigate around and look at all the different options and set it up as you like
12. if you are happy using the launcher hit the home button and set it as default
if not download the others and try, you can run them all at the same time then just uninstall the ones you dont like, i suggest adwEX
TNX for the reply
I have already Louncher Pro, before I wrote the post.
The reason that I post was because I cant make that change.
So that is clear that I have already Louncher pro .. when I tap on the Home icon nothing happened ... Long tap little tap... Nothing.
Now I try like you suggest adwEX maybe something change
I hope it work. TNX
If you already have launcher pro, go into the settings for it and find the dock settings, im not too familar where they would be as i use adw.
you dont use the home key to get into the settings, use the key to the left of the home key
I do it, TNX a lot!
Now I must change the apparence of my TAB

The problem is that my wallpaper wont scroll anymore, when i try to change my wallpaper, it comes to the cropping tool as always but it will only crop it vertical (so it fills one home screen) so when i roll to next home screen it has the exactly same picture
thats also not the wierdest thing of all, if i put one of the wallpapers that came with the phone (those wavy things with colors) they work just fine as they should, anyone got ideas how to fix this?
I have the same thing when using the Open Home screenreplacement. It works fine on the default homescreen though. Are you using an homescreen replacement?
im using pandahome, i dont know how to get back the default homescreen, not that i want to, also the wallpaper used to work just fine with pandahome then it went like this, it sucks that the default home has only 3 screens, also its not so rich as pandahome..
If you want to return to the default home, try Settings -> Applications -> Manage Apps, then find your current home app (pandahome) and tap Clear defaults.
You can clear default for other apps in the same manner.
I had the same problem. Did as above.
Go to settings->Application->Manage application
There i tapped "clear defaults" for in my case Panda Home.
When i taped the home button on the phone i choosed the regular "home" instead of "Panda home". Now i changed my background. After this i tapped the home button again and chose "Panda home" and as default. Now wallpaper works just fine again.
/J
I also had the exact same problem and was using panda home...the simple solution is just to hit the home button, choose default home then go back to whatever home launcher ur using
I switched to adw btw which is great
I was recently able to finally get Froyo working on my phone, and i been playing around with a few roms. Well i notice that when u first install the rom. you got a choice between 3 different layout types. You also got the option to make 1 default. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to make that window pop up again. and let me choice a different layout again. also on that note, does it make the phone slower to not pick a default layout for the rom? or is it better to never make one "default"?
If your refering to what launcher your using, such as twlauncher, launcherpro, or adw, etc... then you need to clear the defaults for the one your currently using. You can do this easily by downloading Home Switcher from the market (make sure you grab the one for froyo), then hit the clear default button on the bottom. The next time you hit the home key, you will have the ability to set a different one as default.
It doesnt make it slower not choosing a default, just more of a hassle choosing which launcher you want each time you hit the home key.
Ah cool "mucho gracias sinor" <mexican voice> i cannot say enuff how nice every1 and this site is thnx! I'm finally starting to get the hang of this stuff. hehe
Or you can find your default launcher in the 'manage applications' under settings and clear the default so the next time you hit your home key you'll have the prompt to choose a launcher.

Hey everyone, Merry Christmas...if you celebrate the holiday =-)
I have a tmo Tab and change the number of home screens from 5 to 3, but on when I press the home button it goes to the 3rd screen (right screen).
How do I set it but to the 2nd (middle screen) ?
Thanks
I'm still a noob, but I think the Verizon version is the only one that lets you set your default screen. I currently have a AT&T tab and wanted to do the same thing. The workaround I found was to rearrange the screens and move the desired one to position 3. Hoping someone comes up with a better way but that's the only option I know if right now.
Another option is use of alternate launcher (Zeam, Launcher Pro, ADW), which will give you also a option to use scrollable widgets.
Sorry for this one, I have had a quick search...
On the right hand side, the small dock that shows Browser, Apps and Phone.. how can I change this, on the stock rom I had, the phone was wifi, which was much more useful, given that the advent doesnt have native phone hardware!
It depends a little bit on the launcher you are running, but on most, if you press and hold an icon, even in the dock, you can 'bin' it and drag a new icon into its place from the desktop.
Cant tell which launcher it is, currently using Corvus5 rom, but even the Modaco rom had the same launcher... but Corvus5 has Phone (for some reason), rather than Wifi, and I would like to change it....
Holding down the icon doesnt do anything other than launch the app when you release it...
Cheers
I think that is the ADW or the VTL Launcher (both quite similar). Does anything happen if you hold and drag the icon off the dock position?
Nothing happens, you cant do anything other than press them... and the app launches when you take your finger off...
I haven't got my Vega with me at the moment so can't check till later. I guess it may be worth a look in the Launcher settings. I recall these are not obvious to get to. At the desktop, hit the menu button and then go to Settings or Advanced and I think you find Launcher settings somewhere around there.
I have the same problem.
The icon is not part of the normal launcher bit, its the small tool bar on the right hand side that also has the browser and app button so you cant select it and drag it into the bin.
I wish there was a way to remove the phone parts of the corvus rom... i think i need to do some reading
Ok so I got mine sorted, long press on the phone symbol, select edit then wifi setup. I'm using awn, so hopefully helps someone else.
I dont know why i never remember to long press stuff... haha
Thanks for the tip dude!
Does anyone know how to make the tile spaces smaller on the home screens to get more icons on the screen? i can only fit 4 icons across the screen, loads of wasted space
A number of the Launchers have configuration options for number of icon rows and columns. At the Home screen access the Menu and then see if you have some Launcher options accessible under the More button.
Hi,
this is not the first time that it happens, in the past to solve I had to reinstall the whole firmware, but honestly is a waste of time reinstall all the apps and restore their data. My problem is that sometimes when I quit from some apps (generally games) the buttons of phone, address book and sms disappears from launcher bar (as you can see in attached photo). Probably the question is stupid but... have you any hint on how to reconfigure the launcher?
TIA
just enter menu... then press soft key... then press edit... and then just drag phone, messages and contacts back to the drawer...
Mmmmhhhhh no way, from menu->edit I can only add and remove homepages.
i got that sometimes roght after restart when the phone is still loading ... either that is it or if it will not apear after like 15 seconds you can clear tw cache/data in settings/aplications/manage aplications/ALL - find tw launcher (sometimes in some languages it is called network) anyways youre looking for such icon there on list
Tank you $omator, this resolve my issue
FYI my application is called 'Home'
depends on translation in Polish it is Sieć and that means Network
anyways gg
why don't like you go launcher ex? =)
thanks again $omator
your trick has worked also for me!
btw in french it's "acceuil"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i like simple tw3 look for example modified a bit to fit my needs,
ofc they can always install alternative launcher BUT HOW IS THAT FIXING THE MISSING ICON PROBLEM?
it is not, and that is not this thread topic (what launcher do i use)
but how to solve particular issue
you should move the apps in your dock to the app menu before using a new launcher
