Long press on the home screen and select launcher actions. Then select Open/Close App Drawer (may not be the exact names). Then drag the icon back to the taskbar.

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

Thank you!
Wow, i installed it, awesome...right?
Kinda, except the home button is glitchy, i click it and the current app im on will disappear and reappear, so i click it again and the same happens so im stuck in the app. The only way is to reset the phone.

Why dont you click the back button?
Btw, this thread is for "Development".
I guess
Sorry for wrong place to post but still, even if i press the back button, that will sometime's take me to some random app i opened half an hour ago and then wont go back any further and then the home button will still do the same thing.
Dont press and hold just press and release
I picked this up on sale the other day. I like it but when I press the home button it takes be back to the default launcher screen, can't figure out how to fix that (I have used open home to make it default).

From there you can pick what you want the home button to do...hope this helps man..
Tried that but its not sticking... hmm thanks anyways
Ok now I see the problem. Using home switcher when selecting my default home app it is not keeping the adw launcher. For some reason it is reverting back to the stock android launcher.
Fix its, just cleared everything in manage apps...
A problem i have
I just installed ADW launcher on my tab and for whatever reason the damn "menu" icon won't go away on my homescreen. Its right next to the multitask button and it refuses to go away. I have seen many people who use adw not have this problem any ideas?

When you first installed adw and pushed the home button for the first time, you should have been given an option (pop up menu) to either go to the stock launcher or adw, and under those two options theres a checkbox to make it your default choice. You may have accidently checked it and went to the stock launcher.
I'd try going into settings/applications/all and find the stock launcher and if you select it than there should be an option to clear defaults for that app.

I know the last few updates for adw has had some issues so I'm not sure if this is one that people are complaining about.
But what I did was create a shortcut to show/hide the action bar.
Just long press the screen, than go to launcher actions and select hide/show action bar. I also replaced the icon with a transparent png so it's invisible on my screen.

I see what youre saying.
This must be something they added with the latest updates, but I can see why they did. If you use adw on a phone pressing the menu button brings up options for the launcher. These options are customizable by the way and actually come in handy. So maybe their just trying to make it more uniform to phone versions.
But I dont think theres any way you could get rid of it, adw is calling for the os to display the button, so unless theres a setting with in the app or unless you edit the apk youre stuck with it lol. The older versions like the one Im running now dont have this, so thats why you didnt see other users with the issue.

Thank you! ill make sure I "legally" obtain this version to try out!
Solution.
I have been using ADW Launcher EX version 1.3.3.55 and I think this solution will work with other/older versions as well.
Search the Market for: Home Manager. Once you install and run this app it will give you the option to clear default then select the the default home you want. I've been using this myself and can assure you it works. I suppose it enables a service that ensures the default home settings 'stick'. Anyway once you're done and it works then you can disable the the status/notification bar option in the app as it doesn't need them running to function properly. Happy Home Skinning!
Maybe it is a stupid question, but suddenly I lost the software buttons on the bottom of the home. Is there a way to restore them?
Thanks
swipe left or right on the dock

what launcher are you using? ...
you need to use your launcher menu> First you may need to long press the phone , contacts and message apps to bring them to the desktop, than use edit to place them in the Dock ( will depend on launcher and settings will vary according to their menu)
If too confusing just download a different launcher from play store and use it
This is stock Touchwiz, right? Looks like it, so I'll assume so...
Go into Applications.
You should see the icons for Phone/Contacts/Applications along with your other apps.
Press the menu button, and click edit. Now you should be able to move the icons around.
Drag the phone/contacts/messages icon down to the dock. It should drop there, and then you'll have your shortcuts back.

It worked. Thank you. It was realy a stupid condition I was in.
Thanks again.
By the way, what is "stock Touchwiz"?
Touchwiz is the stock (or default launcher) that comes with the phone

Hello all, I just joined the forum and what a great resource. I've been reading through the posts but haven't been able to figure out why I cant install apk files. I've enabled apps from unknow sources but the install button is still greyed out. I just got a Fire HD 10 (7th Generation) and haven't been able to side load any downloaded apk files. I've only loaded one app (VLC) through the amazon app store, would love to load chrome and other apps.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Rob

Thank you!
I found and easier way. When you see the greyed out install button, press the square button next to the circle home button. Then just click back to the install screen. Doing that will remove the greyed out install button. Just click install!
Duece solution works for my profile, but not for my kids'. Kids profiles do not have the square button.
I want to install some apps for them. Installing from apk used to work. Now no longer.
Kinda wack solution but saved me a ton of time, can't thank you enough!!

ditto! Thanks alot and works like a charm!
It seems that if you install a .apk over a file manager, Amaze in my case the button is not greyed out
Edit: Seems like this only helped for apps that I tried to install after downloading via the browser
