Adw and CM 6.1 RC2 dock help! - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so I just updated to the new cm release canadate and I love it!
Only problem is that when you delete things from the home screens you now bring it to the top of the screen instead of the bottom to delete it. Well I was re-doing my home screen and accidentally dropped my messaging app in the place were the adw launcher should go (dock at bottom of screen). So now I can't get into my apparently drawer
How do I put adw back onto my dock?
Also is there a way to lock them in place?
Thanks in advance

Long press on the home page> custom shortcuts> launcher settings> open/close app drawer.
Drag the new icon to the dock bar...

ADW Launcher Question - I screwed up!

I wasn't paying attention earlier today and was trying to remove an Icon from my home screen. I am running the new version of Cyanogen ROM.
Not used to the "Delete" area being on top of the screen. So, when I went to delete the icon off of the screen, I in fact moved it into the section of ADW where the "App Drawer" is located.
So now I don't have access to my app drawer. I have "Phone / Dumb Icon / Browser" instead of "Phone / App Drawer / Browser"
How in the heck do I get the app drawer back in the middle???
I tried to do a "Restore" of ADW Lancher, but I've never made a back up of it.
Long press home screen>Custom shortcut>Pick your activity>Activities>ADW.Launcher>ADW.Launcher(Open/close app drawer)
Drag it back to where you want it
THANK YOU!
Sorry for the trouble.
I think I've seen more threads on this subject than I've seen on Gingerbread! xD

LOL, yeah. I got rid of the open/close app drawer altogether and have a swipe up action to open my app drawer. This way it give me one more shortcut on the dock anyway.
Same thing happened to me last night. Took me an hour to figure out how to get it back. LOL

Landscape launcher?

Anyone know of a launcher that orients the dock to the bottom in landscape? I've tried adw, launcher pro and zeam but none seem to have the option unless I'm missing it.
+1
I always wondered about this but never thought to post here. Thanks for reminding me.
Well here is one option. In ADW (I'm using EX but I'm pretty sure the unpaid app does the same) go into settings, UI settings, main dock, main dock style and choose the no icon option. Now, go back to your home screen and create a 'launcher action' shortcut that open and closes the app drawer. You'll have to make one for every screen you have ... or not. For a while i only had one on my main screen so there was more room on the others.
Yeah, that's what I am doing now (adw w/out dock). I was just looking for a sticky dock with maybe some eye candy.

That's a pretty slick idea.
Thanks!
I just use the swipe down action to open the app drawer. This way I have no dock on screen and can get to the drawer from any of my screens. I'm using ADW free version.

Exactly, though I prefer swipe up for and down for notifications. That way you can even hide the status bar.
Power Launcher Pro has landscape mode with the dockbar at the bottom.

[Q] Motoblur Dock

I have a Motorola Defy, but I'm using a different, non-official ROM, that comes with Launcher Pro. My question is, if I can switch my dock to the Motoblur dock, since I really like it.
Thanks for your answers.
Can't be done. The dock is tied to the launcher app, therefore you must use Motorola's launcher app, not launcherpro.
Also please post in the suitable section next time. This is a subforum for themes

Thanks for the answer, and sorry for posting here..
If your using Launcher Pro you can just get a dock that looks like motoblur and apply it in the preferences.
I would check out HELauncher. When installed, press menu, and click customize. Navigate to Blur or Ninja (not sure which runs on the Defy) and press Apply. The motoblur style is from the newer versions, not like the Devour and Cliq.

Yeah but the problem is, that in Launcher Pro you can only use their own icon for the app drawer..
I'll try the HeLauncher, thanks
Edit: Nevermind, I succeeded doing that with Launcher Pro, I took the dock that lesa gave me (thanks lesa) and in the 2 right spots I put contacts applications with a 72x72 icon that I made, that is actually nothing, a png file so you cant even see it, same with the 2 left ones and the middle
Thanks!

Terranalon, please, write in few words how did you succeed with this dockbar in LauncherPro :good:

[Q] Launcher Pro dock icons/theme for Go Launcher Ex?

I was using Launcher Pro almost a year and I really like it's dock bar but GO Launcher Ex is a way more powerful than LP.
I'd like to copy LP dock bar into GO Launcher Ex. Yes, I know, you can change dock and icons manually in the settings but it doesn't look the same as original. I even found all necessary images:

http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/sites/default/files/lpdocks/froyo-bg3_02.png
But as I said, that's not it. :/ Is there any theme or app for GO imitating LP dock bar? Or can you tell me how to extract original dock bar and icons from LauncherPro?
PS: I've noticed that you can assign one app only to one folder in app drawer in GO Launcher Ex, why? I was using FolderOrganizer on LP where you can assign labels (folders) to the app, so one app can be assigned to many folders. Is there any solution for that in GO drawer?

You don't have to quote my message if you're replaying just under my post.
I'm not using ADW Luncher... Well, I think you didn't read my post at all? By the way I already said in previous post that I downloaded all icons and set them manually in dock but I'm not happy with results.
Thanks, but you didn't help me.
I was just suggesting adw as it is more powerful than lp, and I always quote as someone may reply while I am writing! My apologies for trying to help name noted, I won't try in future due to your terse answer, all the best

Oh, don't be angry on me! I prefer GO Launcher Ex, I used to have ADW for some time but I went back to LP. Now is time for GO. The GO team makes pretty good apps and have great support.
Hymm, I think that I just must get used to new dock design.
Ok ok, peace dude

I want to replace the dialer icon in the bottom row with dialer One.

In my opinion Use Nova launcher. So much possibility to customize it for your test. You can put up-to 15 apps on scroleble bottom dock. TW is good but i never use it because missing auto rotate feature. In nova launcher you can use your phone in landscape too. try Nova launcher I bet you will never use TW again.
Cheers....
(If you like Nova launcher dont forgate to press thanks button)
.
I could not figure out the instructions that's why I asked again. I press option and then press edit.what next?

I am on the TW launcher(default Samsung note launcher).
It does not allow dragging anything to the bottom(fixed) row.
I tried Nova launcher too, but did not like it. Guess, the only solution is to go try some other launchers.
They require root permission, but no issues, I am already rooted.
Will a launcher slow down the system, or its sort of a replacement to TW launcher?
I tried Launcher Pro, as well as Apex. Did not like them. The widget list available in Touchwiz(like SPlanner) do not show up at all on third party launchers.
Looks like I will stick to my default TW!
I have created video guide will update it when i m in office, just leave a pm to me if i forget.
