How can I remove the bottom two sliders?
It looks like you've selected "Moto Froyo" or whatever it is a your slider option.
Go back and select "No slider" then move the ones you have above those, down in its place.

After doing a soft reset, my icons in the start menu disappear. The apps that are gone are installed on my storage card. Now is there any way to have the icons refresh after a reset instead of having to edit my menu by removing them and then adding them back? Thanks
Are you talking about the drop down start menu?
As it has two parts. Top part is app's you have set in 'Settings' 'Menu'.
The second half is app's you have recently used.
You will lose the lower half on a soft reset but not the top.
On a HARD reset you will lose them both.
I lose the graphic for the icon on the top in my settings menu. The .exe icon (white square w/blue top) is there and it works but the app specific icon is not there. For instance, instead of the "Yahoo go!" icon or "Live Search" icon, there is just a generic white box with the blue bar at the top. It's just an appearance thing, but it is annoying. I love tinkering with this thing so I want to get it figured out.
thanks
After you do a soft reset go to Settings - Personal - Menu and click any of the programs that you have previously selcted on off and on. The icons will now appear in your Start menu. Don't know why it works, but it does!
I suspect this is a stupid question, but I gotta ask anyway....
ADW Launcher comes with a bunch of configuration options....for example: setting the number of home screens, how many columns and rows to show on home screen, etc.
Is there a way to get to those options that I'm missing?
Hit the menu at the bottom of the screen while ADW is running, then tap "more ", then "ADW settings".
I'm an IDIOT! Duh....thanks. Not used to the new 'settings' screen the NC uses.
Thanks again!
Probably need to read up on the soft keys and look at the modified status bar from the nooting process. Ie.. hit the menu button.
Editing of the home screens used to be done in ADW settings. Now is is done graphically Galaxy S style, where you add or delete screens, rearrange the order of the currently used screens, and set default screen. When you hit menu, select Edit to do this.
So I just got CM7 running on my SD card and was loading Netflix when I noticed that the icon with 4 boxed that lets u view your apps that is located in the small 3 icon tool bar thing at the bottom of the screen is gone. Is there another way to get to my apps or some way to get back the icon.
You might try hitting menu on the home screenm-->settings-->ADWLauncher-->Reset ADW
Just a shot in the dark here, but I'm guessing that will fix it.
Also in the menu you can go to general behavior-->Swipe up action and swipe down action, which will allow you to set what happens when you swipe up or down on the homescreen. Personally, I don't even use the 3 little icons, I just have swiping down display the app drawer.

On the Home screen, tap and hold on the empty space to bring up "Add to Home screen" window, then tap the "Launcher Actions" then select "Open/close App Drawer". It will bring the icon back on your Home screen, from there, you can drag it back to one of the 3 boxes on the Dock bar.
I kept having to reset it and got tired of that so I deleted the bar and put the icon on the screen itself. It hasn't disappeared yet since doing that.

It does not "disappear", you're removing it. Put it back and select "Lock desktop". You'll have to unlock when you want to change stuff on the desktop.

Hi, i tried this and it worked just fine. Thanks alot !! Clicked Thanks
More things some people might just not know about, if you do, good for you, if you don't you do now! If you have more common but, not so general knowledge, post it!
1. Pull down your notification curtain and long press on one of the toggles. If you long press on WiFi it will bring you to the settings page for WiFi, if you long press on Bluetooth it will take you to Bluetooth settings page and so on.
2. On the LGHome launcher if you go to the app drawer and press the menu capacitive button and select "layout" you can choose to have your apps in categories, as seperate pages or one long vertical list.
3. If you are in category view you can "close" pinch the screen and the categories will roll up for better view. If you look at the bottom of the screen you will see two options "Manage App" and "Manage Category".
"Manage App" will let you move apps from category to category and you can easily uninstall apps from the app drawer this way.
"Manage Category" will let you add new categories and rearrange them if you would like, you can't remove the default categories though. Say you want "Games" "Utilities" and "Forum Apps" seperated, this is how you would do it without making folders.
4. While in List view you can "close" pinch the screen to collapse the alphabetical categories for another easy way to navigate apps.
5. Instead of pulling apps from the app drawer one by one, long click the homepage and select "Shortcuts" at the bottom, then select "Applications" here you can choose multiple apps at one time, a "batch" add.
6. When you go to contacts, "close" pinch on the screen to collapse alphabetical categories as well. I find this MUCH faster than scrolling down with the side bar.
7. You can change the middle two dock icons if you long press the app from the app drawer you can place it where you want to replace the existing icon. However you cannot delete icons from the dock, only over write. For example you cannot have 3 icons (including the app drawer).
8. On LGHome launcher up at the top you will see the Desktop Indicators if you press on the either side of the middle circle it will quickly take you to either the first or last Desktop. You must press on the dots themselves for this to work. This is handy for those that have a lot of Desktops all filled with stuff, if you are on the first Desktop and need something from the SECOND to last Desktop you can just click on the right side of the middle dot then scroll back one to the Desktop you need. It beats flicking across your screen 5-6 times, you can reduce that to a press and one fling.
I can't think of any more off the top of my head but, if I remember or discover anything else that's common but, not so general knowledge I will be sure to post it.
Is there any way to change the 4 static quick shortcuts at the bottom of the main screen?
Yes, (but only the middle 2) if you long press the app from the app drawer you can place it where you want to replace the existing icon. However you cannot delete icons from the dock, only over write. For example you cannot have 3 icons (including the app drawer).

Edited first post with the tip above ^^^^^ and another for the LGHome launcher.
Long press the power button together with the Home button. After the click a screendump will be available in /mnt/sdcard/CapturedImages
I searched far and wide for this. The specs all seem to indicate that the ATT version of the S5, despite missing some features ( ::cough:: download booster ::cough:: ), DOES have Kids mode "enabled".....it's just you need to go through a variety of esoteric steps to activate it.
So, I apologize in advance if this is canonized somewhere else, but I couldn't find it on the web anywhere, so I'm happy to share it here:
One a clear place on your home screen, tap and hold on the wallpaper (not on an icon or existing widget)
This will load up the homescreen options, tap on the "widgets" box that will appear on the bottom of your screen
Side-scroll until you see the widget for "Kids mode" - it's a 1x1 icon of a cartoon gator on an yellow background
Tap and hold the icon and then place it anywhere on the homescreen, this will place the widget icon on your homescreen with a little arrow pointing downward (presumably indicating that this feature still has yet to be downloaded/installed/configured
Tap on the icon and this will open a new window asking you to install the Kids Mode. Tap on the install button. This will proceed to download the app (reported as being 61.3MB large), and install it (you will see a bunch of toast notifications indicating your internal storage is dropping).
The screen will then close and take you back to the homescreen where you left the widget - and the little downward pointing arrow should have disappeared.
Tap the widget icon, then follow the instructions for activating Kids mode! :victory:
It sucks that it is so hard to find and activate for those who want/need it, but I am relieved to see that for those of us who do not kids it is not needlessly taking up space on our phones.
Agreed. At least put the dang icon on one of the homescreens so that you can quickly see how to download and activate it. I too don't have kids, so I'm happy to just uninstall it now and get back 61MB+ of space on the "stingy" 16gb storage......
