Dialer not installed? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
My dialer shortcut icon at the bottom of the screen to the left of the drawer and web browser button is no longer working. The icon has been replaced with the white and green Android icon that looks very similar to the Market icon. When I click it, it says, "Application is not installed on your phone." I can access the dialer if I put a Contacts icon on my desktop.
How can I fix this problem?

Has anyone encountered this problem? I went into stock recovery mode and I cleared the cache but the dialer icon still does not work.

Will it launch from the app tray? And are you using the stock launcher or a custom one?
I've found every time a built-in app updates I have to remove it from ADW and put it back or it doesn't work. Google Maps, Google Voice... I think those are the two I've noticed it on but pretty sure it's anything that's in the ROM. Maybe that's the issue.

Khaytsus,
Thanks for the response. You were right on the money. It was my ADW Launcher that I installed. The uninstalled and reinstalled ADW and it works perfectly now. Thank you.

erm.. You would not have to reinstall ADW to fix that, just replace the shortcut in ADW, but okay, glad it's fixed

help!!! lost icon!

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.

[Q] Help Please ADW Launcher

ive installed the cyanogen rc3, which came with the adw launcher. everything was working fine until, i went to my home screen, and noticed the browser and the phone icon next to the app menu icon were missing. does anyone know why they left, or how to get them back. thanks in advance
you could just try adding them again.
drag the icon over the spaces.

Changing the App drawer

Hey again,
I was wondering if it was possible to actually change that bloody app drawer so that it showed all the apps alphabetically in "one" group instead of splitting them up into two groups, with the downloaded apps one sorting after time downloaded and not alphabetically
In some hands on videos ive seen when youve got the app drawer open you hit the menu button (little pop up capacitive one) then select display options.
I haven't got that display option. I got a load of other stuff, but not the "Display Options" one.
Hmm is there a "more options" option?

You could install Launcher Pro. It will not only replace the launcher, but also the app drawer.

Good to know. Installing LauncherPro was actually one of my plans. I just wasnt sure if it also replaced the apps drawer. Because on my HTC Desire the apps drawer looks 100% the same whether I use Sense Launcher or Launcher Pro's. So I didn't think it actually made any difference
Or use ADWLauncher or ADWLauncherEX..

I never actually tried any of those. I just grabbed LauncherPro for my Desire because it just happened to pop up on market and I have just stuck to using that. But whats good/special about those 2 others?
If your using LauncherPro try the experimental 3d drawer! its a really cool effect!

Have you looked in the app manager to see if it's just disabled, almost impossible to uninstall with out using some adb commands.
Ahhhh.... Thanks for that suggestion. I had contacts disabled as i wanted to use Google's contacts app. Had no idea that would also take away the phone

Launcher?

Hi all,
What is the best launcher to install ?
The two things I want are to be able to hide apps, and to have to swipe up to access app drawer as opposed to having an icon for it.
I have tried a couple but the p20 original launcher always ends up taking over. Or with the Lawn launcher for some reason I could add the time/weather widget.
Thanks
Try Ruthless pixel launcher from XDA labs. (If it crashes go to settings and enable storage permission; Bug with pixel launchers on huawei phones)

Cheers, can you remove the Google search bar at bottom screen or is that there all the time? If so I'll download later!

Silly questions then.
I can't find in the settings:
Get rid of Google assistant on home page, and hide the useless apps in the app drawer I don't want to see?
Cheers!

It's right there in dock settings. "Bottom search bar" Disable the feed in the bottom of "At a glance" settings.
To hide apps simply long press, edit and tick hide app icon.

On the at a glance I only have the attached. And long pressing an app only gives me app info or some generic options?
Long press the homescreen to access settings. You sure you got the right app?

Apparently not ha.
I have now, cheers! Does the date at the top pick up the weather when it syncs or will I need to download a new widget for date and weather in one?
Also how do you go about downloading different icon packs that will work with the launcher ?
Thanks for your help
Nova, Evie...there are many out there but these are my favorites. Huawei widgets don't seem to work on any custom launcher.
Evie Launcher has been my favorite for a really long time and matches both of your requirements. Plus, the ability to change Icon pack not only by pack but also one by one is a big plus. Smooth, clean and minimalistic and has a couple of cool features.

For me the best launcher which i always go back to is LawnChair and it's Google feed add-on.
It's a lot like the Pixel launcher but has a lot more settings.
Icon size, theming, weather provider, gestures, app hiding etc.
It's rapid too and fluid, and it's free
Make sure the launcher is set as the default one, if the 2nd launcher in use crashes then the only thing the system can do is revert back, if you're using lawnchair, use the latest version.
I have it installed and mine never reverts back.
Another way would be if you were rooted you could freeze the original launcher in titanium.
CPL wins hands down.

Late to the party
Most customizable. No contest
Total launcher.

Steep learning curve though
Long time on my previous phones I used Nova and Apex launcher. For 2 years now I am using Microsoft Launcher which supports icon notifications for free and I must say I'm still returning to it. I tried Evie launcher on my P20 Pro but for some reason it consumed the battery a lot. Microsoft launcher does not consume battery at all (always like 1 mAh <), its fast and stable, modern looking but different compared to "stock android looking" launchers.

I use Nova Launcher, as it gives me everything I need. If you have problems with reverting to the stock launcher you can try to lock the new launcher in resent
See this screen recording to know how
keeps on recovery from crashing all the time, ive changed the permissions as stated above as well
I use Nova, bought the prime when it was on sale awhile back for $0.50
Nova forever,
