Hi there everybody
Im just asking, can I launch the app drawer in launcherPro by a desktop visualizer widget ?
Thank you, this is much appreciated
Bumpy Bump.
Yea you should be able to. Open it up, pick your icon, the select the action, then app drawer.
No. You'll have to use Folder Organizer or Advanced App Drawer as an app drawer.

Sorry; i was being lazy and i didnt read the op thoroughly.
Really quick question that I haven't been able to figure out, I am running lpp over virtuous on my dinc, and on my lock screen I would like to make an icon or shortcut using dv to create a power button, now is this possible or am I out of luck. Oh and I do have widget locker. Thanks in advance.

Don't think it's possible. You can only set shorcuts or widgets but cannot run an app in the widgetlocker app at the same time.
Without using a separate app, is there a way to link desktop visualizer to open the app drawer of ADW launcher? I know you can long press on the home screen, and press launcher actions, then click open app drawer and change that icon, but I want it bigger, so I need to use DVR. I know I can link DVR to Alt Drawer, since that is a separate app, but I would prefer to use the default ADW app drawer. I've tried all the shortcuts for ADW from the custom shortcuts menu, and none of them open the app drawer, so that's not a option. Any ideas?

How about creating the wallpaper with the icon you wan inserted, then overlay it with a transparent icon of the app drawer.
Ok, so I wanted a better email app than the stock MIUI one, and everyone keeps recommending K9 mail. Thing is, I hate the app icon for it. I worked out that I should be able to use Desktop Visualizer to create a shortcut on the desktop which points to K9, but uses another icon.
Thing is I can create a widget using DV (Long press on screen, select DVwidget etc), however I can't place widgets in the launcher bar. I tried opening the DV app and trying to create a shortcut that way, but when I hit 'Ok' to complete the operation, nothing happens. It just returns to the homescreen and no shortcut is created.
To further complicate things I have had this work once. It just randomly appeared on the desktop a few minutes after creating it, and I was able to move that into the launcher. Now I want to change the icon (again) but as you can see, I'm not having much luck.
Am I missing something here? I know MIUI doesn't have shortcuts on it's desktop, but if that was the case I don't see how I could have got it to work at all?
Any thoughts?

Yeah, i'm thinking how an app icon can invoke such a strong emotion as hate for it. Could we get a screenshot? Share the hate
I do agree that the icon is kinda ugly .
That is a terrible icon ...

What i would suggest (this is what i used to do while using MIUI), is to use an application called "App Drawer" meant specially for MIUI.

it is only as it states, an app drawer like all regular android phones.
This way you will have a dedicated app drawer & this will help in not cluttering up your home screens.
All icons on your home screen can be inserted into a single folder as these are the actual apps & not shortcuts.
Deleting would mean uninstalling.
so use the app drawer, send the shortcuts to your home screen & use any app for changing the icon like the ones inbuilt in ADW, Nova launchers.
...or you could just swap out the k9 icon for one you like. Use a theme (or make a blank one if you're fond of default) and theme the app name icon with a mail icon (or any icon) you think is nice
theme mtz - icons folder - use a .png and name it com.fsck.k9.apk
(if that doesn't work, the real app name is com.fsck.k9-1.apk)

Hi guys. I'm using Mini Provision mod and I want to use expanded desktop.
But here's what I hate of trebuchet. No gesture settings.
That's the problem: if I use expanded desktop I can't pull down the notification window.
I opened this thread just because I don't know if there's an app which use gestures to do something (like on adw launcher ecc..)
Ps. I know I can download and install adw launcher, but I don't want to customize again my desktop (because it took much time) so I prefer an app which does stuff with gestures.
Thanks in advance

Why would you use expanded desktop if you need to pull down the notification panel ?? :banghead:
Just enable it in your power menu and when you need to pull down the notification you just disable it
