Remove Desktop ADW LAUNCHER CM7 - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this even possible?
I have read a wiki from adw but there is no such info there
the stuff that I want to do is that I dont want to have any desktop, when I press back I want to see the app launcher with all of its apps and when I unlock the phone I dont want to see the wallpaper/desktop I just want to have the app list
I know there are orhter launchers that can do so, but Is this possible with adw launcher?
ty

It isn't possible with ADW or ADW EX

You can install a launcher that offers this feature and delete ADW with an app like titanium
But i guess Miui would be better for you

Check out this Power Widget!

I restored my Sense data and in place of my battery widget this popped up. I'm afraid to remove it because I think it's cool lol.
Hmm. I just replicated it with ADW by adding the power control widget and making it 1x1 in size. A little hard to use, though.

I have this as well i want to reflash but i dont want to lose it and that guy said he used ADW what and where is that I look in the market place there a 100's of apps saing ADW
This thread is ALL the way back from JULY lol how are you guys finding these posts
btw ADW launcher (see link HERE) is just that, a launcher. It's the launcher that comes standard with CM6. Which you can also download from the market.
anytime i search for adw or launcher pro, i always add "-theme"
that should get rid of MOST of the themes.
adw launcher -theme
launcher pro -theme
Looks pretty cool.

Launcher Pro widgets to ADW

I do not know if this is even possible. But is there a way to add Launcher Pro paid widgets to ADW launcher? I like ADW, but I also like Launcher Pro widgets...any ideas?
No, not possible. Maybe if Launcher Pro were Open Source then yes maybe it could be ported over.

Backup/Restore ADW Issues/Confusion

Background:
Ok so...all because I wanted stupid Honeycomb theme (worth it BTW...well more-less worth it)
I backed up my homescreens (only the data, because im dumb and didn't do data+apk)
I used ADW Launcher EX as my launcher....so it backed up that data
The launcher built into Typhoons rom just so happened to be EX Launcher...(NO EX)
Main
I restored my data without having EX installed....:-( now im having issues
Firstly for some reason I didn't have market so I downloaded market, and downloaded the new market and reinstalled ADW Launcher EX
Now when I press home screen it asks which to do the task, either Launcher or Launcher EX
Launcher: Has none of my homescreens right (of course because backup is for EX)
Launcher EX: Has
Now I could just use EX which has my homescreens pretty much right and just reinstall my APKs and it would replace the default icons
Now if I use (and restart)
Launcher: It has no dock icons, (so..pretty less-than functional)
Launcher EX: Has dock icons and such...just some "problem loading widget" but thats solved by reinstalling apps from marketplace)
Now I would love to just use Launcher EX, but 2 issues....Whenever I restart the analog clock thats installed with the rom shows "problem loading widget" each time
I have to long press delete and re-place it
Also do you think the other ADW Launcher is effecting the EX version?
Did I mess something up by restoring backup, which had ADW Launcher EX
Is there a way I can uninstall ADW Launcher manually..and reinstall ADW Launcher EX and it be the sole, and maybe it will do right?
I hope I explained....well I think I may have confusingly over explained?
What should be my next action?
Reinstall the rom and start from scratch?....then what steps do I take this time to not get to this same point? (apparently something had to be wrong, because market was not installed for some reason)
figure it out....think thats my best advice ATM

Launcher probably vs go launcher

I've become pretty accustomed to launcher pro since i used to use it on my mt4g and now again since it was included with g-lite on my G2 but i have always been curious about go launcher... it looks like it has more customization options and features than launcher pro but i'm not sure and i don't necessarily feel like re doing all my launcher settings and stuff if go launcher sucks.
So does anyone use go launcher? Is it any better or different from launcher pro? Does it consume any more or less resources than launcher pro would probably be the biggest thing...
Thanks in advance.

theyre both pretty much the same now, launcher pro is still a bit ahead cause the widgets are kinda cooler
if you want less resources consumed and no lags at all use the stock launcher, it doesnt have customizations tho
You won't have to redo your Launcher Pro configuration/settings if you try Go Launcher. You can try/install as many launchers as you want. If you want to switch back to another launcher, you just need to clear defaults in Settings>Applications>Manage applications>(current launcher). Then press home, and pick the launcher that you want to switch to, and it will still be setup how you left it. Or use an app like Home Switcher for Foryo (works for Gingerbread, too). to make switching a bit faster.
It's can be use and all the same. With g-lite ROM i'm using GoLauncher, when i want i use Launcher7 - winphone7 launcher - with no problem

Remove the google search bar without root nor custom launcher

Hello.
Is there any way i can remove the google search bar from the home screen of the yotaphone 2 without root and with stock launcher ? (any to "simply" uninstall it)
Thanks
I'd like also and don't want to root. I used Novalaucher to remove google search, but there were problems. Many things had disappeared! So, I came back to Google launcher
I'd also like to know if this is possible. I'd rather not have it on my home screen.
I also hate it. Maybe installing some other different launcher?
There's an option in nova launcher for this but I haven't tried it on the yota. It works on every other device I've tried though.

I've installed Nova launcher, removed the google bar and changed the menu color to AMOLED-friendly black. No issues by now

Things did not disappeared, when you change launcher, and Nova Launcher is a Launcher, all the widgets and so on are removed from the screens, you have to activate your widgets on the new launcher, you apps and widgets are still there, you just have to configure them on the new Launcher.
Nova Launcher is actually one of the best launchers, you can actually make a backup of your widgets and icons arrangements with it, Arrow launcher is also very interesting.
Keep in mind, when you change launcher you widgets locations icons, etc are reseted, so if you want to try a new launcher, you have to backup the launcher settings, Nova Launcher and Arrow Launcher has a backup function built in, Google Now launcher does not, you can use Titanium BackUp Manager to make a backup of any app and it's settings, including Google Now Launcher, but for that you would need Root.
