I'm running the Liberated Aria ROM and want to put shortcuts to Google Navigation (blue arrow icon) and Places (red arrow icon) on one of my screns. I had them on the stock ROM, but forgot how to do it when I flashed.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.

Press & hold screen > Shortcuts > Applications > Application name
Edit: I'm on CM6 but I believe this should work for you.

That didn't work because it doesn't seem to be a stand-alone app, but somehow embedded in G-Maps. Perhaps a recent update got rid of the ability to separate them?
Thanks.
Open app drawer and long press each icon. Might work. Works for me lol

The problem is that they don't appear as individual apps. I can access them from Google Maps, but I can't figure out how to create separate shortcuts for them on one of my screens. Again, I did it with the stock AT&T ROM, but I can't figure it out with the Liberated ROM.
Problem solved!
I rebooted and the icons for Navigation and Places now appears in the app icons.
So my problem has been solved!!

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?
I would like to be able to control music from the drop down of the notification bar. Using Widgetsoid I can get the controls in the notification bar but they do not function at all, is there any fix for this?
Also the widgetsoid widget when placed on the homescreen works perfectly it just doesnt work in the notification dropdown.

The current version of CyanogenMod allows for custom items to be placed in the status bar. There are options for play, forward, back, and pause. I use it and it works great.
That's cos some roms don't have the ability to have more then one touch function widget per notification line, I forget what's it's called but you need to enable the function in the frame work res file. Not a quick or easy thing to do.
Widgets in the notif bar is awesome.

Thanks for the responses. My phone isn't rooted but this is reason enough
If you need help rooting, I posted this in another thread last night.
Third, One Click Root is very idiot proof. But I will run you through a very brief guide: Download and install the driver for your respective computer's OS here and download the latest version of Pete's One Click Root. http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/ Then, enable USB debugging by going under settings-> Applications-> Development, and checking the box. Assuming you have the correct drivers installed on your computer, you should plug your phone in and allow it to recognize the device and such. After it's all done, open up Pete's One Click Root and simply click Root My Phone. Let it do it's thing, then you are done.

Have you considered Widgetzoid? You can create a widget with the media buttons and have it placed in the pull down bar.
Make sure you have the correct widgetsoid (two versions), and do any other selections work from the notification bar?

I am using widgetsoid 2.x and have succesfully placed the music controls in the notification bar but all they do is activate a popup which allows me to control music which is cool but i would like to use them in the notification bar dropdown like you can on the LG revolution.
I think will root my phone sometime this week most likely with Maverick 2.0 as it seems to be pretty solid
Does anyone know if darkdroid supports widgets in the notification bar?
I'm really liking the new ROM, but I am curious what Halo does? Is it just a faster way to launch certain apps? The app says is optimized for Paranoid Android, but I assume you tweaked it to work well with AOIP. Help? Thanks.

Its reads notifications with you whitelist them and can open them in a floating window also you can add up to 6 apps and use them as a shortcut and they will open in a floating window. For example if you was on tube and you got a text you can text that person back without it interfering with your youtube activity.

Nice. I see how to add the apps running in the background, which can send notifications, but how do i get the icon on the homescreen?

Go to aoip settings and go to halo setting turn it on ypu can also customize it and when your done slide down in the notificarion tray you shoyld see a circle press it and it should be on your home screen. Now you need to double tap to drag it where you please.

I am figuring it out. Thank you. Seems useful. It will take some learning, though.

Yeah it takes getting use to but its good for multi tasking if you have the need to and it doesnt kill you last activity which is nice about floating windows because it just overlays over your current activity
Hi everyone,
Sorry, me again. Sound fixed Applied the wifi utility mentioned in a thread on here and low and behold, the sound stays. Bizarre.
Also fixed my webOS issues, thanks for the tips.
One more little thing.
I am running the 10.1-20131210-snapshot-vpn-tenderloin ROM
Now, I always (I am sure) on previous builds used to have the status/notification bar (with the time, wifi signal and notifications) visibile at the top when on the home screen.
It currently hides when the home screen is shown and appears when an app opens.
I have made various changes under "System>Status Bar", "System>Quick Settings Panel" and "System>Notification Drawer" but nothing seems to have an effect on this
Can anyone help?
I like to be able to swipe the quick settings and notifications from the home screen but currently cannot
Cheers
Andy

I suggest you to try this: Ultimate Dynamic Navbar
Hey guys has any one had issues with the stock launcher. I install new apps and they do not show in the app drawer. I even word data from TouchWiz home and they still don't show. Using a third party launcher they show just fine but stock hit or miss if they actually end up in the app drawer. I can search for them so they are installed but if I got locate it does not show it in the drawer.

Open the apps drawer and hit the 3 dots in the top right corner.
Select sort and choose Alphabetical rather than custom.
I believe this may be your issue...
