App dock...

does anyone know of an app/modification (metamorph?) that will allow us to "dock" some apps so that they are accessible in every screen?
not like a widget that pops up a carousel (like some apps offer)...
i mean more like the "star" of favourite apps/docked apps that is accessible on every screen in open home..for those of you who have used it
it's to the far right on every home screen, you swipe the star and you have like 6 apps (or so) accessible....
any ideas? thanks!

Anderwebs ADW launcher sounds like something you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645550

HelixLauncher also does this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683

I would have to say that Anderwebs launcher is quite superior to helix in performance, but they are both great launchers.

Thanks for the quick replies!
Helixlauncher almost looks like a home replacement from the descriptions...
I do want to keep my regular home app..since it has 9 screens
I just wanted to add the two main things I liked from alternate home apps
I.e., the app dock...and if I can find it, a way to "name" each home screens, on the bottom, next to the app drawer icon...
I'll test out the first option to see if it has an app dock without modifying my app drawer icon, hehe

Helix can have 9 screens too.

Hehe..thanks...but I guess I'll just stick to keeping my most used apps on the main screen and if I am on screen 9 and need to get to screen 5, I'll just hit the "home" button again, hehe
But I do have another modding question...I am kind of highjacking my own thread,hehe
is there a way to add the "dots" that indicate which screen you are on to either side of the app drawer icon? (Like screen 5 would have 4 little dots on each side?)
...or failing that, a way to label each screen? (Apps, games, etc...)
I saw one app that did this...but it had horrible reviews...so any app or personal way to modify it would be great...thanks again!

Definitely try out the ADW launcher... it has more customizer than even you would know what to do with!
http://www.jbthemes.com/anderweb/adwlauncher.html

it does look/sound good...
however, if you have to install it the same way you flash a rom, i don't think i can do it as my bootloader is locked...(telus milestone)
any instructions on the actual "flashing" part? the only ones i see is to change the zip file to "update.zip" and apply it from recovery mode, but it says invalid signature when i do that and then does nothing...
or can i just install the launch.apk file in the zip?

LauncherPro is faster than ADW.
It's just that you can't set your own app dock, there's one provided for you, it's shortcuts to Phone, Contacts, Messaging and the Browser.

Helix can have 9 screens too.

i don't want to modify any of the actual settings i already have..i like the way my phone is customized...
therefore, i'd like ADW if you can really pick and choose nearly every item you can implement...this would be best
also, as a sidenote, does anyone know how to flash it to the milestone?

if you're looking for some serious customization, look for sweeter home on the internet. it's in beta (for like 1 1/2 years now) so it's not on the market but i had fun fooling around w/it. it's basically a home replacement app that you design yourself from the ground up. kinda steep learning curve at first but you can always download someone else's theme and keep it or even tweek it how you like. there's even forums too if you need help.

maybe i'm way off target, just thought it would interest you

thanks, i'll check it out...
but i wasn't originally looking for a home replacement..i had open home before (and this one might be better) and I just didn't like the "bulk" of having an extra home app
thanks again though, i'll still give it a shot, hehe

ADWLauncher has tons of extra features, and they're all toggle-able. If you don't like the dock, turn it off in settings. Want more screens? Settings. Want the Galaxy S drawer? Settings. Want the home screens to scroll faster? Settings.

hehe
i know
but the problem is i can't find a way to flash it on the milestone...
i'm looking for a tutorial or someone that has successfully flashed anything to the milestone =-\

You can now download adw.launcher from the market for an easy install

I may be way off-base here but my wife is using "Open home" on her Cliq (because she couldn't stand MotoBlur's ugly UI) and it has everything that you're looking for: Number of screens, workspace labels, dock, dots, etc) and it seems like it's running OK on her phone. I know that it's a "replacement" home but it shouldn't be a problem on the phone with some spare RAM (i.e. any phone except for G1 and original MT3G)
Good luck.

Add apps next to launcher icon

hey again...i swear i'm going to suffocate these boards with 'how to's, hehe
i searched and couldn't find a way to "add" apps next to the launcher/app drawer on the bottom of every screen
can we do this in metamorph? is there another general way of doing it?
thanks!

refer to this, unless you were joking considering how obvious the thread is and searching it would not be hard at all.

Then I'd start learning how to code. It's not something a metamorph could fix easily (Can't just replace a png or something like that).

You cannot do that with standard android launcher, you'll need a custom one like gde,helix, launcherpro, pandahome, etc

adw LAUNCHER (FROM ANDERWEBS) LETS YOU CHOOSE OPTIONS FOR DOCKBAR ON/OFF, LEFT OR RIGHT TAB OR BOTH, TINT OR NO TINT ETC. FLASH FROM ZIP AND ACCESS ADW SETTINGS IN THE HOME SETTINGS TAB.

as an FYI....it just says to flash the file..
so if it works like a rom, i have a telus milestone, which cannot be flashed for roms...
so am I SOL?

ADWLauncher help

Hiya guys & girls!
The latest update to ADWLauncher has made me sad They have replaced the Nexus one style button for the App draw with there own icon. I much perfured the nexus one look.
I've spent most of last night (Much to the disaproval of my other half) trying to find a theme that still includes the old style 'row of dots' icon.
So my question is does anyone know of a theme that still has the old style or knows of an icon pack that still includes it?
Thank you in advance!

Well, makes me sad if you spent most of last night, trying to find a theme that still includes the old style...
Fix in 5 seconds:
"If you want the old icon design, download this to your phone and select it as icon when creating your custom shortcut."

[Q] ADW Launcher EX Settings

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know if you guys would mind sharing your settings on ADW? I just got my Gtab a few days ago and I'm running Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1, love the rom. Thanks ahead of time

Settings? Like visual preferences or functional stuff?

Both I would say...

Well I'm a fan of the minimal home screen. I only have one, and it has a few icons, a search bar, and the GV widget. So, I chose to go with only one icon on the dock bar and that is just for the app drawer. I switch back and forth between screen transition effects, but right now I'm using effect number 6: rolling slide. My app tray is semi-transparent and I have my desktop bounce set to 49. Fancy backgrounds are enabled and I've chosen a semi-transparent gray. Oh, and before I changed all of that stuff, I installed the ADW Honeycomb theme and I use theme icons.
Now that I think about it, there is a lot to customize with ADW. I have a few more changes but I can't think of them off the top o' my noggin.

I have a similar settings but I use 3 icon dock and I have it set to random screen effects. What do you have your Desktop Columns/Desktop Rows size set to?

Desktop layout is eight columns, seven rows. And I turned off the horrible indicators and the trash can. But in my drawer I have six by six in landscape and four by ten in portrait. What about you?

I had mines on default which I didn't like at all, so I'm trying your setting... Thanks

You're welcome. ADW EX is great and super versatile. Happy customizing!

I have my settings set based on performance. Not many animations going on and things like swipe speed are set very low. I'm on my phone right now but maybe I can upload my personal setting (not homescreen layout though --that wont do u much good) . I definitely have spent a lot of time customizing adw ex.
Hopefully ill remember to upload the settings XML tomorrow, I guess it can't hurt for u to try that way.

That would be great, thanks either way...

These settings are a bit outdated from what I'm running right now. But, my GTab just went haywire on me (forcecloses everywhere, can't run a thing -- good excuse to switch to the Vegan 7 experimental, though).
ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need to change the extension to XML - I cannot upload XML files. It should read "adw_ex_settings.xml"
Just drop this in the root of your GTab and "Restore settings" in ADW. I'd suggest copying your current settings to another folder in case you don't like mine.

Thank a lot man, side question... Do any of you guys had a issue with no audio on Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1 using Clemsyn's latest kernel? I ask on the rom thread but haven't gotten a response.

I've had an audio problem with. VEGAN 5 but haven't tried another rom recently enough to tell if its the rom or my hardware.
my audio cuts out a couple of minutes into YouTube videos, or any other media for that matter. Do u get no sound at all or does yours cut out like mine?
I just flashed vegan 7 so ill be able to tell if its something to do with my model if my sound problem persists

It would work than just cut out and I have no way of getting it back besides re-flashing the ROM again, I have even tired different kernels and no luck.

Thats a lot worse than I have it. I'm able to just reboot and I can get my sound back, albeit only for a little while. Ill let you know how vegan 7 treats my speakers.

I plug in a headphone worked but I have to keep doing it as my sound keeps going out :-(, sucks but will have to do for now..

I choose other wallpaper but it seems wallpaper being zoom in and upper notification block won't be covered by wallpaper. anybody knows how to adjust wallpaper fit the screen?

MultiPicture Live Wallpaper

Anybody get this program working on there nook? I've seen it work on youtube but can't it to work on mine. The guy could assigned a separate pick for every screen. I can't seem to do that.

Yes, I haven't had any problems. All you have to do is make sure you check off wallpaper scrolling + in adw settings, then make sure you add specific wallpaper/folders for each "page".

The thread I linked too, talks all about how to do that. I have mine set up like that to some degree.

While I'm at it. Can I change the order of my screens?

while in the launcher screen of adw, just hit the menu options and see edit.
Edit will bring up the screens, you can change the order, but you have to change each of the settings in wallpaper app(no easy way).
