Hacked ADW w/ Large MIUI'ish dock

Updated to ADW latest github
I hacked up ADW launcher to have a MIUI'sih dock. It's nothing special but I kinda dig it so i figured id dump it here to share. I'm pretty sure it will only work in portrait mode because i never use landscape i didn't bother modding that source.
Thanks to Anderweb for having such a great open source project!
Thanks to Jrizzill for having such great icons!
- ADWSettings->Main Dock Style->5 Icons has been changed, to have 4 large icons as in pictures below. You must have ADWSettings->UI Settings->Dockbar checked to have swipe gesture open/close app drawer properly.
- Get icons here.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-d1-miui/88474-miui-themed-icons.html
- To open/close the app drawer, swipe the dock apps.
- To add a MIUI icon to the dock
1) long press, select custom shortcut
2) press pick your activity, press applications, select application
3) click the icon to the left of the "pick your activity" button, navigate to the one you want to use, click ok.
4) drag and drop it into the dock.
- Use desktop visualizer (1x1 small) for other desktop shortcuts.

OMG this is exactly what I've been looking for. Seriously when i switched from the Incredible to the Fascinate, the one thing I really missed was MIUI and having the large dock. I've been trying to hack launcher pro but this is great! Thank you so much.

Does this need root?

Awesome!
There are only a few bugs that I have found.
- For some reason I can't seem to trash anything on the screen :O Drag to the top of the screen and nothing happens, just reappears on the bottom.
- Sometimes when hitting the home button it forgets what apps are in the dock until I open the tray and close it.
Not sure if those have to do with the version that you compiled, or ADW itself. Anyhow not trying to get down on ya, considering this is exactly what I was looking for!
Can't wait for 2.2 MIUI!

don't believe so
For all those out there using blackhole rom's if you are using the embedded ADW then you can't install this for some reason. I had to reinstall a clean rom with TW and then install this APK.
EDIT:
Sorry for the double post

Glad you guys like it. I will try and fix/tweak a few things. Also will try to make it so that it can be installed side by side with stock ADW.
1) haven't had that happen with missing dock apps. try using the old dock implementation, that's the config i'm using? will mess around with it.
2) do you see the trash icon appear at the top of the screen? try and drag it all the way up to the top and drop it there. it works for me.
3) you don't need root, but if you are using some ROM with ADW pre-installed, just remove it from /system/app and drop this apk in there.

Odd, how do I implement the old dock config? Also yes the trash can appears, I drag the icon up, it turns red then it reappears at the original location just does not want me to change the setup haha

hmm weird with the delete.
make sure that this is not checked.
ADW Settings -> UI Settings -> Dockbar

Ok, found it. Still seems to have the same issue sometimes. Once in a while only 2 icons in the tray will appear in the center, until I open the app drawer then close it. Once I do that all is good again.

i updated a new build, try that one.

How do I use these icons in adw? Step by step if possible.

updated to 1.3.1 and added some instructions.

tried using desktop virtualizer to make the other icons. It works but there small. How do I make them larger. I'm using the icons in the link you provided.
Thanks

The large icons in the dock seem a bit fuzzy.Am I the only one having this problem?
I used hd icons btw

updated to latest github commits.

"Application not installed" over and over
*Nm. Got it

Hi,
You've done a fantastic job.
But can you build a version with dock bar like the dock on mac os? It should look like this image below

MIUI
icons in this launcher are bad, can you port MIUI ADW theme for this? becouse theme haves good icons from MIUI and can you made dock from MIUI(screen indicator, dock style). If this`ll complete, launcher`ll looks pretty good) thanks!

Hey there,
Why cannot be installed on Eclair 2.1?
* LE: I made a mistake, it's working now. Agree with with the fuzzy icons in the dock. And also, is there a way to increase the number of rows? I like the icons to have also their labels, and only this is how it will going to work. Thanks.

Can we change the dockbar??

Dock icon PHONE missing

I have problem im missing one my dock icons, PHONE icon is missing i did several time restart my phone and still doesnt show up, please need help very badly...

Are you using the stock TouchWiz launcher? Or another home-replacement app (LauncherPro, ADW)?

im using stock Touchwiz launcher

Click to expand...

if its a rom using the newer touchwiz mod then the icon can be dragged off and removed, just open your apps and find the icon your missing and drag it back onto the dock.
if its the original touchwiz launcher then that usualy means that something happened to the app itself, did you try to install any system apps recently?
sometimes this happens with failed installs to the system app folder that replace another system app, or removal of a system app without replacing it.

I did try to drag and drop to the dock but still can't except the two icons on the middle ie. Message and Contacts, lastly yes i did install apps that i bought from market place Sheet Metal Calculator. I don't know about newer rom for touchwiz mod and how to do that, thanks a lot for quick reply...

its usualy replacing system apps (like the dialer) that cause that, but it sounds like you havent done that.
is the dialer and/or contacts app in your app drawer still?
or is it missing from both the dock and the app drawer?

i only got 3 icons on the dockr, Application, Contacts, Message missing Dialer, i don't know why what i can't drag into lower left corner my dialer icon..

So the dialer is in your app drawer then?
you probably cant drag because the stock touchwiz launcher does not support that.
A short fix would be to temporarily use a replacement launcher like ADW launcher or launcher pro from the market, with either of those you can drag the dialer onto the dock at the bottom.
as far as fixing your stock launcher:
Are you rooted?
and if so are you running a different rom?
And if so:
Which rom are you running?

yes Dialer still in the App Drawer, so far looks ok after purchasing Luncher Pro, but if switching to TwLauncher still the same, yes i am rooted with Samsung Galaxy One Click All Models and lastly i didn't install any rom or flash since i don't how to do it right now.

Still not figure out how to put back my Dialer icon my on Dock settings, i tried Launcher Pro is really good but still wanted to put back my default TW Launcher, i tried reboot my phone several times, drag icon into my dock still not working. You help is very much appreciated..

Sorry didn't read the whole thread thought I had an answer for your
Nerobeta3+dow1.4+oclf

What is Nerobeta3+dow1.4+oclf a program where can i download this if ever? Is this will fix my problem? I'm missing my Dialer icon on my phone if you could photo of my previous post.

so nobody solve my problem, so should i stay with Launcher Pro then?

I have the same problem, I recently flashed the Nero v3 ROM and BlackFroyo Theme and my dock icons are missing except the app icon. Does any have a fix for this?

This worked for me on stock Rom. Go to settings, applications, manage applications and select the all tab. Look for TWlaucher and click clear data. You will lose all your settings for your screens - widgets, shortcuts, etc... for touchwiz, but you can easily reset those. It did bring my contact, dialer and messaging apps back!

Thanks for this!! I lost all but applications from the dock when I upgraded to stock froyo, I thought this was the way it was supposed to be, and I was disappointed. Cleared the data, and they are all back again!!!!
Many thank you's!!!!

[Q] LauncherPro Error?

Hey all, I've got a question. I'm running stock root on my NC with LauncherPro, and for whatever reason, I can't change the shortcuts on the dock. I want to change them to programs I actually have - by default, I don't have a messaging or phone app. Whenever I try to change the shortcut (by holding down on the icon and then going to change it), LauncherPro launches the previous app I had open. Has anyone else had this problem?
I am open to switching launchers - I just use LauncherPro on my phone so I know how to work it. I'm looking for a really fast, minimalistic-launcher. GoLauncher is too feature heavy, and it makes my NC lag. Zeam launcher also lags a lot. I want something very snappy and fluid, even if it is lacking in features.

Make sure your homepage isn't locked.... then long press one of the ones you want to get rid of and delete it... then the others
Then you can add the ones you want

What do you mean, locked? I've tried doing just that - long pressing and removing it, but it doesn't work.

When you push menu on the home page, there is an option to lock the homepage so you don't accidently mess it up. It is a toggle so just tap it to unlock.

Oh, is there? I can't for the life of me find it. Whenever I press home, lock isn't one of the options.

Not home, menu once you are on the home screen. It may not be on the first menu, you may have to push more or advanced or something, but it is there.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I looked under all of the settings - from advanced settings to Appearence, and there's no lock home screen option, or anything like it in Launcherpro.

Well, obviously it is locked so launcher pro must have that setting somewhere. Look in their documentation. For most the other launchers it is in menu on home screen, not in settings.

I installed ADW launcher and uninstalled launcher pro. The lock option is there, but it doesn't change a thing - even with it unlocked, it, still launching the previous app instead of letting me edit the shortcut.

You say you are on rooted stock. Which dock are you talking about? The stock dock or the one that comes with the launcher? Its been a long time since I used stock and cannot picture what you are trying to do.

I have two docks, so to speak - the default Nook one, pictured here (just without that arrow in the middle. NOT the book dock, the black bar at the bottom)

}
And then I have the launcher dock - right now, the ADW launcher dock. Whenever I go to change the short cut on the launcher dock, whether it's ADW or LauncherPro, it kicks me out of the settings window and throws me to the previous program I was using. I tried "unlocking" the dock in the ADW options like suggested, but it still happens.

Ok that thing you have pictured is not a dock, it is the status bar and should always be there even if you have another launcher loaded. The dock is a black bar above that. And on my system you change what is on the adw dock by dragging shortcuts off and on to it. But in order to do that the desktop must be unlocked. Your description of going to a settings window in adw to change shortcuts on the dock does not compute for me.

[Q] N4 settings menu won't open

Hi,
My Nexus 4 is running completely stock 4.2.2, it's not even unlocked let alone rooted (first phone I've felt happy enough without root) and was running fine until yesterday when it ran out of storage space and gave me a warning. So i uninstalled a couple of games, hoping to free up a couple of gigs.
Now though, i can't get to the settings menu or any associated screen. I can toggle the quick settings from the pull down menu, but if try to enter the main settings menu it briefly flashes up and then closes. It's the same if i try to access settings through the launcher, and if i try to get to any settings menu via other means (ie. long press an icon in Nova and select 'app info' or 'uninstall') the associated menu again just flashes up and then vanishes within a split second as if I've pressed back straight away.
Nothing else seems out of the ordinary - apps update, i can get to the play store, apps run fine, just the settings menu.
Any ideas? I can't find anything similar searching here or elsewhere. I've obviously rebooted the phone but without access to the settings i have no idea what else i can change. I'd factory reset but I've not backed up a couple of apps and usb debugging is off so i can't use Carbon (for some reason it's always had problems keeping the initial enabling and needs plugging in regularly),and i can't use Titanium without root so i wanted to see if anyone had any bright ideas first

Perhaps there's a way to just reset the settings menu? I've no idea what it's process is, but some action similar to "clear app data" should reset it :/ Just brainstorming here.

if nothing helps do a factory reset. your apps will come back automatically through the play store when you log in.you'll loose your highscores but most apps are cloud driven anyway,

Sorry for the OT but is that a genuine quote in your sig?!
Anyway @OP I think factory resetting is probably your only viable solution here, it's a very odd issue and there's not much you can do to solve it without a settings menu.

You need to clear the data for settings. Install titanium backup and see if you can. You'll need to root it first though. Crap..I forgot forgot you said you arnt rooted.

Cheers for the suggestions, was hoping there would be a fix but I guess a factory reset in the morning it is.
Frustrating as this sort of thing really shouldn't be happening out of the blue from a stock phone - it's a fairly huge bug!
Ironic that I resisted rooting to ensure I kept the reliable and simple experience of the nexus, only for it to be what stopped me fixing it when it broke :-\
Won't make that mistake again!

This probably won't work but try opening your quick toggles then long pressing on wifi or bluetooth, that's supposed to take you to those individual settings. Then if you hit the icon in the top left you may be able to get back to the main settings.

Nope, sadly does the same thing - the settings menu briefly flashes open before closing.

Hey OP, did you figure it out yet? I just noticed that trebuchet launcher allows you to go into settings via a shortcut in the app launcher. Probably won't work, but hey. Try another launcher?

Yes cheers a factory reset wasn't needed in the end - I worked out the problem.
I've been using my sim with my n4 as well as my new HTC one and hot swapping between the two for a week or so. I also have avast installed on the n4 which has an option 'disable settings when no sim inserted' which I'd forgotten about.
I only thought of it because when I initially took the sim out I got an email saying 'warning unauthorised sim inserted, id: {null}' or similar.
It didn't work with my sim installed either but I logged into avast, turned that setting off and everything was back to normal. Turned the setting back on now (once the sim was in) as it's obviously going to be an absolute pain for thieves too!
I guess it's a problem with hot swapping the sim while avast was running, the switch didn't get triggered even when I reinserted it? Either way now it just means I turn the n4 off before removing the sim now!

Haha, at least you now experienced first hand how secure your settings menu is. :laugh:

Exactly what I was thinking! Nice it gave no clue why it was happening and if I didn't know the password for avast it would have made life very difficult as it also disabled usb debugging, so anyone who wanted to wipe the phone would have needed some serious android knowledge.

Usually you click it once and it's gone for good.

Some apps still don't display correctly such as Microsoft Remote Desktop when you tap for entire screen.
Pretty annoying really

Add me to the list of people who find this really irritating! I get it on all my (Nova Launcher) home screens, and in a selection of apps (haven't figured out yet why some apps show it and others don't).
Subscribing to the thread in the hope that somebody will figure out a way to make it go away!

This is quite simple actually:
Go to Settings, then display, then full screen and then toggle all apps to full screen and, voila!

But I don't want the apps full screen, and I have actually toggled them all to OFF in that setting.
Hence I'm annoyed at constantly getting a useless message on my screen.

I am not worried about those... Again some apps do not display correctly in full screen so therefore I don't want to place them in full screen but instead I'm pestered to do it, what was wrong with the bubble notification that came up before?

tap here to fill entire screen
same problem with google phone dialer as it doesnt support full screen...plz help..!how to get rid of tap here to fill entire screen.

For me it just disappears after a minute. For example kodi get stretched if using fullscreen and if I disable fullscreen it disappears.

hope that somebody found the solution

It only appears at new installed apps that are opend for the first time.. after clicking it it never reappears

Yes, this is definitley annoying to be constantly there, and for video apps that aren't optimized for full screen. Like MLB At Bat games are shifted to the left side of the screen with one black bar on the right and it just looks weird. I'd rather have black bars on both sides or at least be able to stretch it out to full screen.

I think the problem is that some apps will not show correctly in full screen mode so anytime I use the app in normal mode there will be a line show " Tap here to fill the entire screen "

Add me also here !!! so annoyed ! !

Add me too

So I am having this issue in Chrome which essentially gives you no back button when browsing. How stupid. So I just figured out that if I scroll to the bottom of a sight, sort of like the opposite of dragging a screen down to refresh, you drag it up from the bottom and you get a black semi circle thing show up. Click on it somehow while it appears and then you get the menu back, but it says double click the dot on the left to make it locked in.
And... it seems to have fixed it across all of my apps, not just Chrome! That's all I have for now.. hope it helps
