ADW Launcher Question - I screwed up!

I wasn't paying attention earlier today and was trying to remove an Icon from my home screen. I am running the new version of Cyanogen ROM.
Not used to the "Delete" area being on top of the screen. So, when I went to delete the icon off of the screen, I in fact moved it into the section of ADW where the "App Drawer" is located.
So now I don't have access to my app drawer. I have "Phone / Dumb Icon / Browser" instead of "Phone / App Drawer / Browser"
How in the heck do I get the app drawer back in the middle???
I tried to do a "Restore" of ADW Lancher, but I've never made a back up of it.

Long press home screen>Custom shortcut>Pick your activity>Activities>ADW.Launcher>ADW.Launcher(Open/close app drawer)
Drag it back to where you want it

THANK YOU!
Sorry for the trouble.

I think I've seen more threads on this subject than I've seen on Gingerbread! xD

LOL, yeah. I got rid of the open/close app drawer altogether and have a swipe up action to open my app drawer. This way it give me one more shortcut on the dock anyway.

Same thing happened to me last night. Took me an hour to figure out how to get it back. LOL

How to use widgets?

Hello,
I am new to this whole rooting Nook color thing. I recently rooted mine and have been enjoying the new abilities, but I cant seem to add shortcuts to the "desktop" or home screen and can't add widgets. I searched around for a little bit but didn't really see anything listed about this..
Thanks guys

Long-press (hold) on the home screen. A window to "Add" will pop up. Tap on Widgets and enjpy

Thats what I tried, because I am used to using Android for my phone. But the only options that come up are "Clean up this panel" and "Change Wallpaper".
Not sure why I would have different options than you?

What launcher are u using? Also long press should do it!

Just the stock one. I rooted it but didn't know I had to change the launcher. I am not even sure how to do that >_> haha

Go to Market and download a launcher. Zeam, ADW and Launcher Pro seem to be the most popular. I think Market is under Extras.
edit: I use ADW but they are all similar.

Also if you want examples of how to spice up your homescreen, check out the screen shot thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860404
Most of them include which widgets they are using.

Thanks I downloaded Zeam and its working great!

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!

[Q] Deleted link to Apps page.

Hi,
In CM7 I stupidly deleted the link to the App's page. Can anyone please tell me how I can restore the link? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is what you're asking but I think it is.
Long press on the wallpaper like you are creating a shortcut or adding a widget, then select "Launcher Actions". Pick "Open/Close App Drawer". This will add an app launcher icon to your home screen which can then be dragged down to your dock bar where it used to be.

[Q] Removing the "Applications" Icon

Hello.
Let me start by asking a question on whether it is possible to remove the "Applications" icon on the main screen.
The reason i want to remove is because of this program.
Faster Drawer (seems i cannot post links, so do search it on the android market)
Basically another app drawer program, but presents the layout "contact style".
Depending on preferences, but i like the layout of the icons better than the stock.
Has there been any attempts to remove the icon or such?

You know inside of the stock app drawer you can choose to view them as a list... "contact style". Just hit menu while in your app drawer. And this should be under Q&A.

Never mind. I can simply usee an alternate launcher to remove the home button.
consider this question closed.
