Well the other morning i turned my phone on and noticed something really strange. At the bottom of my screen where the MAIN ICONS are, PHONE, MESSENGER, CONTACTS, and APPS, I am now missing the ICON for CONTACTS.
To repeat, instead of 4 icons, i now have 3?? And my contact icon is MIA. Inorder for me to access them i had to go to my APPS and bring it to my homescreen. Has this happened to anyone else???
Folow these instructions. Hit the apps drawer icon. Once inside, hit Menu>Edit then drag the contacts or whatever icons you want in to the dock. Then save and problem solved.

Don't drag it towards the trash can but instead to the end of that drawer to the left of the 1st icon.
Do you BONSAI?
Ok. Hit the Home soft button to go to your homescreen. Hit the blue icon on the bottom of the screen that looks like a window, this is your Applications drawer. Hit the Menu soft key, then click the Edit option on the screen. Drag the contacts icon, or whatever you choose, and drag it into the dock. You can configure the three icons to whatever you want them to be. Easier?

thanks guys, i was able to add another icon into the tray, i chose to add facebook instead of contacts, since u can add contacts from other screens.
Also, you can enter contacts from the phone icon as well. The contact icon is redundant in my opinion.

Does anyone know how to put the Bottom drawer to the side on the home screen? Some guysays he "hacked" it but usually when people use the works hack they usually are some loser with a dowloaded app. Or something. I've looked around to find some source code in the firmware that dictates where the drawer is to be but I can't find it (that's where it was on my iphone).. so if anyone has done this or knows how to do this could you let me know?
i've glitched it to the side a few times and it's kinda ugly over there. the whole setup of the homescreen rely's on the app drawer being at the bottom. to move it you would have to change how the icons appear on the screen and you would lose some space
no biggie

Can anyone tell me how to add more dock icons with Launcher Pro? Thanks
Regarding adding more dock icons, simply swipe the bottom portion of the screen left or right. It SHOULD take you to a set of five blank dock items. From there you simply long press on each icon you want to replace with a shortcut.

I need to subscribe to this
hey guys
Im running cyanognemod for DHD and ive accidently replaced the drawer button in the middle of the dock with another shortcut... how do i recreate the link to the app drawer??
Longpress homescreen - custom shortcut then tap "pick your activity" and choose "launcher actions", select "open/close App drawer". After that drag & drop the launcher icon on the appr. place.
Cheers
Cheers. I was going nuts bouncing through all the menus.
Huh - same here - apparently widget delete has been moved to the top. I, by default, tried to delete a widget by tossing it over the drawer button. Then 10 minutes wondering around before I hit search
Thanks Ce!
disable the new behaviour
Isn't there any way to prevent the center icon from being replaced? This new behaviour is quite anonying.
yeah paramthegreat... I wish there was a way to do that
Can't you lock the home screen?
Someone swyped my idea.
Hi, i was wondering how I go about fixing the ADW launcher, bottom middle of the screen with the 3 icons (star for trash, app launcher , and browser). I managed to get Glownooter 1.5.26 installed and the part 2 zip file. All is well, but somehow managed to drop some icons here. Now I have 3 stars across the bottom and they all do the same function.I didn't want to reprogram it just to fix this one issue. I can get to the apps and the browser ok, just not from the launcher now.
Thanks in advance..
Personally, I just turn off those bottom icons things. I don't get the point.
Under ADW Settings >> UI Settings >> Main Dock Style, set it to "None".
Long press on a blank place >> Launcher Actions >> Open/Close App Drawer will create an icon.
Drag things from the app drawer onto your desktop and you are done.
Drag things onto the silly bottom icons (if you still want them) and they will be changed.

Have you tried dragging other apps from the app drawer on top of them? I think you can also long-press those icons to drag whatever's there to the trashcan that pops up if you just want to be rid of them.
Is there a mod that would give me a button on the bottom bar, to open notifications when tapped? The way I usually use this tablet, the top left is the exactly least convenient place to swipe when I'm holding it from the bottom.
I'm on the 3g model but if such a mod exists already, I presume it can be adapted.

Nova or Apex launchers will let you do that very easily.
In the settings you can choose what you want to happen when you tap the home key when you are on the home screen. One of the choices is pull down notifications.

OK, but that's still not a button in the nav bar. I'm looking for a button in the nav bar that pops open the notifications tray, without leaving whatever app I'm in.

i think he's saying to get that button you would need top use a custom launcher such as apex or holo.:good:
With Nova Launcher (I don't have any experience with Apex):
- tap and hold on homescreen
- select "Nova Actions"
- select "Expand Notifications"
When the shortcut is created, drag it to your nav bar.

... and in what ROM are you allowed to drag launcher shortcuts to your nav bar???
To be clear, by nav bar, I mean the black bar along the bottom with the back, home and multitask icons. I am looking to see if there is a mod that can change that to: Back, Home, Multitask, Open Tray.
In some of the cm 10 roms . in the settings /system settings / navigation bar.. You can add two buttons . And change what those do... I am not sure if you can set it to pull notifications or not but i think you might be able to.. I know the euroskank and paranoid android roms have this..
This takes a framework re work.. You will not get this feature in a launcher running on the stock android frame work.. Someone could code this. But doing so would break compatibility with other things .
There would be NO Stock solution for this The ones people are describing above will not work. You can add it to the dock if you have it enables..
Now most launchers Nova prime (what i use) has screen gestures. You could set that to swipe down bring notifications down swipe up close .
Good Luck
Good to know. I guess we'll have to see if devs can expand their ROMs to include 3G, even in absence of full source...

Sorry, my bad, I thought you meant the dock.
Any progress or answers?
I'd like some sort of solution to this.
Even something as simple as opening the notifications with a tap instead of a swipe would make a world of difference.
Maybe you should try a ROM with Tablet UI?
