Hi
I don't knew if anyone else has this problem, but I have just updated an app which had a widget on my home screen.
But now all I have in place of where the widget was its a clear space where the wallpaper is visible of which I can't put anything on it.
Its as if you try to put a shortcut on another short cut , you get that greyed out area appear, and this has happened to half of one of my half screens.
Sites r anyone know how to get that area back so I can put shortcuts on it?
Thanks

the old widget is probably still there but for some reason invisible. Try long pressing where it was and moving it to trash
If nothing else works, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications,
find Home Launcher and select Wipe Data.
It will erase everything on your homescreens, it will solve your issue
but you will have to set everything up again.

Stopped using touch wiz and switched to launcherpro as my default home app, reduced lag by a lot
I first installed this program and deleted it. Well now I decided I want it back but it doesn't show up in my apps drawer. It shows up in settings under manage apps but still no way to set it as my default. I sent the dev an email but never got a response. What do I do?

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps. Then press Menu > List all apps. Fine "twlauncher" and clear defaults for it.

Go to Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Press menu button (left bottom) - select filter -select running - go down to the bottom TwLauncher - Click clear defaults - press home buttom.
It will ask you what you want to use as your default.
Delete and reinstall it and it should ask to set as default when you press home

Yeah, TouchWiz is quite lagly at the moment.
I use home switcher app to switch from touch wiz, launcher pro or ADW. Its a great app to switch home replacements quick.

Fantastic! Thanks
I use Launcherpro and I think it is the best home replacement... better than Open Home which I used in the past...
LauncherPro Plus is KING! Can't wait for it's new widgets within the next few weeks.
Excuse me about my ignorance... its been one hour im going through the menus and it started to pissing me off....
i somehow disabled the phone icon on the ADW launcher. Anyone can tell me how to enable it again?
dialer icon more correctly
You should be able to drag and drop the icon to the dock.

not sure wat ur talkin about but i think if u hold down on ur desktop... pick activity...create custom shortcut... click activities... scroll down to dialer. let me know if ur talkin about something else.
Thanks for your replies.
See Screenshot below to see for which icon im talking.
so are u saying its missing from that certain spot? or just missing in general? or missing from the app drawer?
Missing from the certain spot.
It was there yesterday, i was playing with the menus/options and i probably disabled it by mistake probably.
Thanks for the help. Plenty of key words in your replies to sort it out.
Just reseted ADW and its fixed.
Dont know if theres an option to enable or disable it but reseting fixed it.
Hi, there's an option to turn the left and right softkey on and off in the ADW setting.
I can't create screenshots but try to explain it briefly here (it's simple) although you have reset it, it may benefit others who come across the same problem.
so in ADW settings..
> Interface Settings
there's a Turn On/Off Left Action Button option.
check it to have the phone icon on, uncheck to take it away.
Effectively you can disable to right action button (web browser) as well.
You can also turn on two more extra button as well, but haven't had time to figure out how to set the shortcuts... only have 2 blank keys theres at the mo.
Sorry for, if there're, any inaccurate labelling as I have mine in T.Chinese so not sure what the exact English labels are... shoudn't be far off though.
Hope it helps~
Hey, is me again!
Was just having a quick mess around and found out is as easy as just drag the icon to those empty button areas, that's all !! And i was trying long presses and going through many pages of menu options!! ha-ha
Anyways... [email protected]

Ahhh now i see it.... Its called LAB and RAB. Sometimes going through it fast its not very efficient.
Thank you!
hey guys please please idk what happened but i accidently dragged an app over the main menu icon on my HD2 android.. and now i have no way of getting to main menu...any help please???
By main menu, I assume you mean the app drawer. If that's the case, then long-press a blank spot on your homescreen, choose shortcut (or maybe it's custom shortcut, cant remember for sure). Then choose 'launcher actions' and then choose 'all aplications'. At least that's how it's done in adw launcher. Then you can just drop that shortcut icon back down into your dock where it belongs

oh thanks a lot mate! but i just deleted everything i had on my phone, and the droid started from scratch. thanks anyway! peace
Also worth noting that with adw launcher (in typhoon for example) swiping down (or is it up, i forget and have disabled it now) on the homescreen shows/hides the whole menu bar at bottom. I wiped data Few weeks ago thinking id lost my whole launcher.
As for just the one shortcut, press and hold the one you mistakenly dropped there and choose edit, pick activity, activities, open/close app drawer.
Hi, I must have delete some apk that stop me from adding using the default widget application. Can anyone upload it, thanks in advance.
think we'll need more info.. is this a specific widget or all widgets that you're having a problem with?
and a word of (fairly obvious) advice.. if you don't know what something does, leave it alone!

When you press setting, add to screen. There is a option of widget. When I press it nothing appear.

Is that list isn't appearing or the list is empty?
Try to go application in the setting , say u hv the problem with photo and video widget, go to that widget and clear the data. Go back to desktop and add again. It will work

Sounds like your home screen is already full. Try moving some of the apps from your main home screen ( the middle one) and place them elsewhere. If the middle one is filled up, it will usually just take you to the home screen and not carry the shortcut for the app forward.
Else, try moving to an empty home screen(any except the middle one) and push and hold down on an empty space. Then, you will see an option saying "Shortcut" or something. Click on it, choose "application" and then select the app you want on that specific home screen and it will just carry it to that empty space you selected earlier.

If you have a home replacement app installed(launcherpro, adwlauncher, etc.) uninstall it and then try. Had the same problem, uninstalling the replacement launcher fixed it. Blur is garbage.
i just had pretty much the same issue. i just installed Go Launcher and the only way to add things onto the home screen is to hold down on the home screen you want to add to, then press add application and then there's a check list for the apps you want to add to that screen.
i know it's off topic, but blur does suck, i was okay with it until i tried other home replacement apps, went back to blur and it physically hurt.
Thanx guys but im perfectly aware of how to add stuff to the home screen and
When its full or not. As for launchers I have 5 different launchers installed including stock MOTOBLUR and I use home switcher for froyo. So for the time being ill just work with a lil' ADW here and a lil' launcherpro. Thanx anyway guys
