Change the launcher buttons on the bottom - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to choose what apps are launched in the new launcher bar in froyo?

I'm sure this can be changed when the code reaches github.
Regards

Why would you want to do that? It simply rox.

Because the stock dialer is rubbish. I for one would like gesture search on the left and xscope on the left!

Widget locker

Is there a way to remove the stock unlock screen so I don't have two while using widget locker? I would want to maintain my numeric lock.....I tried searching for a setting and don't see a way
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
after installing widget locker, you should not have your stock lock screen anymore. this is supposed to replace that....at least thats how it works on my phone.
Weird, cause I have both

How does widget locker work?

I'm pretty sure it works by essentially creating another "launcher" or "homescreen" on top of your actual launcher (Sense, LauncherPro, ADW.Launcher, etc) that just shows up everytime you unlock the device. Think about QuickDesk, same principle.
U can always delete the htclockscreen.apk via adk
I read that if you remove that one that it gets replaced by a vanilla one??

Yes but it's not as simple as that. What happens when you do that is you end up with a messed up Vanilla lock screen... you can see what I mean here
http://geekfor.me/hero/fixes/vanilla-lockscreen/
You need to go a few steps further (as detailed in the website) to fix it
So I can either have two lock screens or just not use widget locker, from what I can tell by trying it out.....having two is defeating the purpose though...

Widget locker should disable the lock screen if it's set up
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Yeah, I get that...just wish it worked lol....legit, when I wake my phone, I slide the lock on widget locker, no password needed, then my regular lock screen comes up, I slide and then put in my 4 digit password....
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Ah. Yes, I think if you have a security screen it does that. But not much you can do about it I think.

Yeah, I use it so my girlfriend doesn't find out about my girlfriend lol

If you are running CM7 you can go into the settings for CM7 and disable the lockscreen but when I do that its weird. When I slide the slider it goes to my pattern security but right before that i see my homescreen flash. Its like a glitch. This happens all the time smh. I expected Widget Locker to be more efficient.

How to sort App Drawer Icons Alphabetically ?

Rather than arranging them 1 by 1. is there a way to arrange the icons alphabetically automatically? I am using the default launcher.....
Download "sort apps" from the market. Its designed for touchwiz and works great on the tab for what you want.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I'd switch to an alternate launcher like Zeam. Sorts automatically and is amazing on a tablet.

Have you tried Launcher Pro? Alphabetical sorting, app hiding, etc.

You might not like this method because it also causes all your widgets to disappear from from the home screen & maybe even reset your desktop settings but you can go to
Settings > Applications > TwLauncher > Clear data
The launcher should sort all installed apps alphabetically
The appsorter is what I need,thank you.

Hi. Nice app.. i have one requeat that could make this app eaven more usable.
Either make widget for one touch system bar removel or make a shortcut for desktop to make a one touch system bar removal.
What do you think about that??
Great app as I said before.

The best solution would be, that the statusbar disappears, when you swipe down on the screen , and appears if you swipe up.

Does anyone know if it would work on Bindroid.
One other thing, i dont think its a good idea that you can swipe it up and down, because i like to remove my bar when the kid is playing with it.

Yup same here, power button was best option for me since my son only touches the screen. Can't seem to get that mod to work more than once per boot. HideBar just freezes.
This one looks very promising, will check it out tonight

Hello ,
Is not working on the Ice Scream Sandwich, update please ....
Thank you.

ADW updated!!!!

Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

Try no icon and use gesture (depending on the launcher). The rest of your screen is six icons across except the dock. For example I use down swipe gesture to expand notifications, up swipe to open app drawer (with animation set to open app drawer from bottom of the screen), double tap to sleep, two finger swipe for quick settings.

You can take just the app drawer from Textile OS (Named finger) and use sky blue night, in the options of Layers Manager.
I like the ones in the Min icon pack.

I downloaded that app, and even got SkyBlue. but it doesn't seem to be sticking once it asks me for a soft reset.
I just noticed that it themed my setting, but not my icons, background, etc.
NOTE: I seen somewhere I might need BusyBox?

Don't use the soft reboot. I always do a full reboot and it works and you shouldn't need busybox. I don't have it installed.

I use the advanced reboot in gravitybox but that requires Xposed. I don't know how you feel about that cause I know some people just hate it. You can also get an app like terminal emulator and type su to grant superuser then type reboot. There might also be an app in the play store that could do it but I don't use those. Someone else would have to suggest one of those.
Is using Xposed a bad thing? If not I will throw it on this phone...

It depends on who you ask. I say research it and try it if you want. Just make a backup right before you install it and you can restore that if you don't like it. But personally, I don't think it's as bad as some people say.
