after upgrading from CM 5.0.7 to 5.0.8 i no longer have an app drawer on my phone. i can still access all my apps by adding shortcuts. anyone else having this problem or any ideas to fix this? TY
The launcher app changed and has many cool new features, but acts a bit different..
If you tap that 4x4 grid the "drawer" will appear.
If you drag it a space for more shortcuts appear.
when i scroll up on the 'grid' i do get more space for icons, but how do i get the grid back without rebooting? TY

i cleared off my music icon off my home screen and accidentally removed them from my app drawer... the only way i can access my music now is through settings> applications .... does anyone know how i can get the music icon back onto my apps drawer? thanks
Huh? I didn't think you could "delete" an icon from the app drawer. Are you using some kind of Home replacement application?
are you using aluncher ?

we can't , he has to be using the aluncher !!!!!!
I'm guessing that you've got advanced launcher
i haven't got it in front of me at the moment as I'm running stock Cyan 4.2.5, so i can't remeber the exact labels, but go to menu > extended and you should be able to resore the drawer icons from there.
I've looked but can seem to find the answer.
(1) I know I can create new folders on my home screens and move icons into it, but don't know how to change the name from "Folder" to like "Multimedia". Is there a way to do it using ADW Launcher or CM6? If so, I havent found it...
(2) Is there a way to create multiple Drawers to hold stuff in ADW or are we stuck with the one launcher screen? Or is this in Launcher Pro, etc?
(3) Anybody know an easy way to create a widget for an application?
I'm just trying to clean up my home screens, which are getting crowded and don't want to move to 6 or 7 homescreens.
you just long press the holder bar at the top to change the name.
only launcher pro has multiple scrolling docks.
no idea how to create a widget.

im using adw ex 1.22 is there a way to change the square little home window
to dots like launcher pro
I played with mine and can't find a way to change the actual app drawer icon. You can change every single other icon to whatever you can possibly think of but not that one. Thats interesting.... hhhuuuummmmmm...... update? lol!
if you're talking about the app drawer icon, then yes, you can change it. Just long press the home screen> Launcher Actions> Open/Close App Drawer. Then there will be a laucner icon on your homescreen. Long press that, then release in place. Choose edit. Click the icon. Choose whatever icon you want. Then Place the new launcher shortcut on the dock.
On mine I can just long press the drawer icon, select edit and change the icon?

if you want to get the icon, you should download a theme first, just type"adw theme" in Market, choose one, and download,
long press the drawer icon, select edit and change the icon
thanks for replies got it working now as i want it now
Hello,
I bought the Galaxy recently,and changed his rom.
Rom comes with Launchrpro,and I am very satisfied with it.
But I want to stay with the original rom menu (TW). is this possible?
In addition, I want to get the applications menu in folders.is this possible?
Thanks
I don't know which rom you are using but if that rom gives you both option then go to
settings> application> manage application> choose TW> set default (you can clear defaults too)
Hope this works for you.
There are custom roms that offer touchwiz, and you can always install it afterwards too (e.g. From apk found off the forums, or via sgs tools app).
Doc rom kitchen is a great place to start.
The app menu is launcher specific, afaik there aren't any that allow you to arrange your apps into folders, and launcherpro is the only one that lets you hide icons.

Tnx but I know that I can switch to TW.
I want to stay with Launchrpro and replace just the menu like TW.

What menu are you talking about? (screenies would be nice)
The first picture(left) is the menu I want to go back to.
This second picture menu I have now, in the launcherpro
I wish to keep launcherpro because of the comfortable home screens.
That menu is called app drawer a part of the launcher and what you want I believe not possible with launcherpro. If you want the horizontal scrolling + menu in app drawer I mean. You are better off with another launcher. Like ADW launcher or some modified TW.
As near as I can tell, what you are showing in the first pic is the TWLauncher homescreen, while in the second you are showing the App Drawer in LauncherPro.
It is easy to reproduce a similar homescreen in Launcher Pro. On your main screen, just press the button to open your App Drawer (the thing shown in your second picture). The press and hold the icon for an App you wish to put on your homescreen. Your view will switch to your homescreen, with a garbage can at the bottom. Position the icon where you with it, or drop it into the trash and start again. Once you have everything on the first homescreen that you want, go to the second screen, reopen the App Drawer, and add apps just as you did before.
You can control the number of homescreens you have, and which opens by default, from the Launcher Pro Preferences menu.

As you can see if you look closely BOTH pics are app drawer . Look first pic, grey bar down (home screen has it black) and Home button which doesnt exist in the homescreen since there is the Applications button
To OP look what I wrote you up . Or you could kinda put all yours apps on your homescreen like rschenck said.
Try Go Launcher, free in market. It lets you have the "side swiping" app drawer/menu

Quite right, my bad...been a while since I used the TWLauncher.
OP, are you asking to be able to horizontally scroll through apps, or to have buttons for Phone and other key tasks on the same page as all your apps?
I am still thinking that you can either jury rig a solution using Pro, or as Pagot suggests, try other launchers, there are lots of good ones out there...ADW, Pro, GO, Zume, plenty of others.
after using cm7, I found out that the notification bar is no longer there. I don't use ADW, so there's no setting I can use to 'unhide' it.
basically I am referring to the shortcuts and/or last recent apps bar when I pull down the notification window.
What do u mean? Cm does not have recent apps in notificationbar as sense rom's have.

I know CM7 doesn't have it, I mean what third party can I install to bring back this feature. I actually prefer shortcut than recent apps, so it doesn't have to be recent apps on the notification bar.
It's pretty easy to get used to using long press home to view recent apps. it's so second nature noter I forgot all about that sense feature.
Swyped on transparent XDA app.
Get cape. Wear cape. Fly!
turns out I have to do something different to bring back the power widget in the notification bar. The power widget (if that's what its called) disappeared when I change the theme, and I've to uncheck 'show power widget' in the Cyanogenmod setting, reboot, and then recheck 'show power widget' again to bring back to power widget.
thanks and considered this case close
