Anyone know of a profile or hack to get more home screens? Every apps I've tried ass something, mainly a new app tray or buttons at the bottom of the screen. I just want more home screens, nothing more.
Your going to have to use a home replacement such as launcher pro or adw and yes they will usually change the launcher
You may be able to keep it at the vanilla launcher via options.

What about Launcher+ on the Android Market?

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...

Thanks for the tip man.
I knew it was going to be something simple
haha I did the same and re-flashed the rom...
later I figured out the solution, same as it in second post
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.

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.
I am using Launcher Pro Plus on my brand new Bionic. I have an empty screen and am trying to add the World Clock widget, yet it keeps telling me I have no room and won't let me add it? Has anyone else run across this issue? Any feedback?
I downloaded home switcher and went back to the stock home screen to test. I was able to add it there with no problem. Ths widget must not be compatible with launcher pro?

Is anyone else having issues with the quick contacts widget in alternate launchers? My other stock blur widgets work in Go Launcher except this one. Running Theory's ROM 1.2 if that makes a difference.
Doesn't work for me either in Go Launcher.
I was wondering the same thing. I swear I saw a post stating that the moto blur widgets worked with alternate launchers, but I cant get this widget to work with ADW, LPP or GO launcher.
I like that widget a lot.
Bump... has anyone had any success with getting this to work properly? I actually liked the stock contacts app for the short time I was running the stock launcher.
It would seem it adds the widget, but it's invisible and doesn't function... I am able to long press and delete it with go launcher.
Still no dice in Go Launcher. On the other hand, I have been using this lately and am really liking it.

It actually automatically fills up with contacts based on how recently/frequently you interact with them, pretty nice if you ask me.
Its a blur app and u need the blurred launcher.

That is not true. Other blur widgets work outside of the blur launcher. Also, this widget shows in the list of available widgets from other launchers but when you add it (in my exerience on Go Launcher) it adds an empty space to your screen that you can't say unless you try to put another widget down as it will say the spot is occupied already. You can delete the empty spot though.
Any update on this issue or do those who use alternate launchers just out of luck with this widget?
+1 you need a blur launcher its built into /system/apps it like having a razor blur camera and downloading it and won't work correctly at least from what I have read over the months on alt launcher you pick the widget and it won't even be visable

You can't. Maybe in a future ROM but you can't remove it. All you can do now is assign a different home screen but blink feed will always be on the left page

Here's a thread about how to change your default home screen.

From my understanding, installing a different launcher will also remove blinkfeed from your home screens (I believe someone tested it with Apex launcher), however it's not exactly "uninstalled" as it's integrated into Sense 5.
