[Q] ADW Launcher & App Drawer Shortcut

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.

Widget Positioning

Hi,
I am fairly new to the Android world and I have some questions for you guys.
So as I said the Atrix is my first Android phone I've already rooted it and done all the modification we, bell users, can do.
There is one thing that I think is really weird and its the widget positioning. Why do all widgets have 1/8 of free space on top, on bottom and on the side? And why is there already "pre-designed" area to put you widget in? It feels to me like I can't place them like I want... Am I doing something wrong or is there an option somewhere to remove that?
I tried searching Google for that but wasn't able to find the right word so I can get relevant results.
I am currently using Go Laucher.
Thanks for you help and sorry if there is some english mistake, english isn't my first language.

It is like a fixed grid, but you can have some more freedom/customization using apps like luncher pro

or using go launcher create a 5x5 grid, or use desktop visualizer to use custom icons all over, etc etc

LauncherPro Plus allows widget resizing. Get it if you dont already have it.

Stick with Go Launcher because 1) it's free and 2) it allows widget resizing without paying (ala Launcher Pro Plus).
Set your grid to 4x5 tight or 5x5 extra tight and you will have barely any margins on the sides.

I changed to 5x5 and it helped a lot!!
Thanks to everyone!

I've got a question slightly related, is there a way to set up the original homescreen launcher to come up when I press the home button because I got Go Launcher and pressing home only seems to go there and I have to kill it to get back to the original screen.

settings/applications/manage applications/go launcher/clear defaults

Thanks for the reply, I already did that but i can set the default for the home button as as the original launcher as long as I have other launchers installed, the original just doesn't show up in the list of choices. I have Launcher Pro as well as I was testing which I would like better but when I press home the list comes up with only Go & Pro launchers, I guess I'll just have to go with a third party one then it seems the default launcher doesn't get it's own app or whatever.

just uninstall them if you dont want to use 3rd party launcher....its that simple

Use ADW Launcher EX! Blows the stock launcher out of the water and you can set that too. And it's smooooooth and fast too.

When you install ADW launcher and press on "home" a box should appear in the center of the screen saying whether you want to launch "Launcher" or "ADW Launcher EX"... select the Always do this and ADW Launcher EX.
If you want to reset it: go into settings -> applications -> manage applications -> find adw launcher ex -> clear defaults

Under "Launch by Default", ADW says "no defaults set". Do I have to reinstall? When I hit the "home" button, the TF takes me to the stock launcher.
EDIT: reinstalled, same problem.
EDIT: Found "Launcher" under the "All" tab and cleared that. Fixed.

Download home switcher (or similar) from the market and you can easily switch between launchers.

[Q] Go Launcher issue

Just installed GO Launcher EX & have managed to delete the App Drawer.
Does anyone know how to get it back?

Did you just delete the short cut or can't see the app tab in your app drawer?

If you're talking about the app drawer icon then just press on a plus and press 'app drawer icon'.

Thanks to you both - now sorted!
