there is a thing under system that shows battery usage. I found a way to drop it on the touch wiz homepage tonight, then restored with titanium and can't find it anymore, anyone know where it is? I think it was a shortcut or something.
Long press home screen, shortcut, settings, battery use

Stock Captivate 2.1 Éclair. ADW launcher.
I had an app freeze up the phone. Had to remove battery and restart. Now the Master Bar (or whatever it is called) at the bottom no longer has the Apps icon in it! The other two are still there.
I now have no way to get into the primary apps list--can run only those that have shortcuts on the home screens. I cannot find any way to get the Apps icon back.
Help, help help please. This is a major fail.
Make sure your desktop is unlocked first ...
tap the screen, hold, then select "launcher actions" -> open/close app drawer
you should have a link to open the apps.
then you can drag and drop the link to the dock.
Or enable the awesome option in adw settings that let's you swipe up anywhere on the screen to open the app drawer.

While on your homescreen press menu -> adw settings -> general behavior -> swipe up actions, and select open close app drawer.

OK. Cancel this question.
Out of the clear blue, it reappeared, but this really scares me. Had it not fixed itself, I would have had a serious deficiency in the phone.
except, previous shows a method (thanks) to recreate the icon, so it would not have been fatal.

Ooooooo...I like this one. Thanks.
Any other nice tricks/settings?
So far I've found myself using two settings very often,
settings -> about phone -> battery use
settings -> applications -> manage applications
I'd like these to be buttons on my homescreen if that is possible.
Is that possible?
Does the fact that I'm using syndicate rom 1.1.0 and launcher pro plus change the answer at all?

Most stock roms will pull task manager up if you long press the home key. As for battery use, well settings is on your left soft key, that's as good as it gets

Sorry, somehow I put this in s-9000's forum instead of epic 4g.
For application manager I meant, at least for the epic, the stock location that can be used to install and uninstall programs.
You can use launcher pro for this purpose I believe.
Long press on desktop -> Actions (or something similar, don't remember) -> Find the battery info text
Yeah actions should do the trick. Takes a while to locate what you want though.
Read somewhere that the power consumption can be adjusted to separate apps, iex, i just want Facebook to notify me about new messages, notif etc, not the rest of the apps to save power.
Cant find that menu, anyone?
How about the notification signs on each app icon (digits) like on iphone, any good plugin for that?
Thanks

Settings > Power Managment > Activate Stamina mode by sliding the slider. After that tap on Stamina mode to select the apps you want to keep running.

Ah, why cant they hide menus even better so its even harder to find
Thanks :cyclops:
I wouldn't call settings>power management hard to find
Its obvious that most system settings will be in settings
And power management being a sub menu isn't exactly hidden

I meant the settings under the Stamina button, its not very obvious theres another menu hidden on the side of a slider button, hence why i couldnt find it in the first place... but hey, im used to logical intuitive structure on iphones, so i guess im spoiled
For every app I install, a shortcut is automatically added to a home screen. It's not a huge deal since it takes a second to delete, but I'm curious if there's a way to prevent this happening and just have the shortcut in the app drawer? I cannot find anything in the settings to turn of the "feature".

why don't you check google play settings ? there is a checkbox for that (checked on by default)

Go to the Play Store -> Settings and uncheck Add icon to Home screen.
Duh... I totally forgot about the play settings! There I was looking in the phone/launcher settings. Thanks.
I'm using Apex launcher and I have swipe up to get to quick settings, but it doesn't work. Any other options?
Swipe down from the top with two fingers.
Start swiping down from the right side and hold until the tab switches to quick settings. Then pull down.

Best solution I found for myself is "Power Toggles". That App allows to have quick toggles on the home screen as well as where they used to be prior to Android 4.4.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
Or if you use it a lot, might want to try tasker.
I also use Power Toggles for quick access to a lot of settings, although with KitKat its usefulness has declined because it has to send you to a settings screen for a lot of them rather than just toggling the setting itself.
Tasker is an option, but a very complicated one. I also use AutomateIt (similar to tasker but much more user friendly) to create shortcut icons to change multiple settings at once.
