What happens is that all but the application icon disappears in the icon dock on the home screen.
I have made some folders In the application screen to categorize the applications. Most of these applications are put back on the main applications screen, so I suddenly have 13 pages of applications instead of 2.
This happened for the 3rd time this month, so before I'm going to sort every application again, I want to know if somebody had the same issue.
Is there an application to manage this screen with more ease than dragging each icon one by one to another folder? I'm also using Go Launcher and there all the icons stay where they are.
Happened again today. I'm going to use GO Launcher.
But nobody had this same issue?

Hello
I'm looking for a way to disable/lock the tap to open on certain widgets.
Not sure if such an app exists, and searching didn't lead me anywhere.
I've been using minimalistic text on my home screen and I have a bad tendency to always click on the widget since it's in the middle of the home screen.
Is there a way to disable the opening of the application?
I know some other apps have this built in, but it's not part of minimalistic text as of yet.
This sounds like a request you need to make to the widget developer. I don't know of an application that can create "dead" zones on your homescreen.
Can anyone tell me how to add apps to the little bar on the bottom of Launcher Pro? Right now I have the default phone, chat, apps, browser, music but I've seen pictures of people who actually have real apps pinned down there. I tried click/holding on the icon and it give me the option to...
"Change Shortcut"
"Change Icon"
"Swipe Gesture Action"
When I click Change Shortcut, my screen goes black for a second and then comes right back to the main desktop and thats it. Am I missing something? I'd like to remove all the generic, ghosted, white icons and pin the real ones down there instead.
Thanks
This question gets asked a lot and I mean a LOT. Use the search function next time.
But to answere, the NookColor version of Android doesn't have a shortcut picker so doing this with any launcher will crash it. There is currently no fix but there is a work around.
If you have launcher pro on your phone you can set it up how you want it for the Nook and then make a backup. Copy the backup to the Nook and restore it there. You will need an SD card for this.
The work around to getting apps on the dock bar for Launcher Pro is too much work for me, haha. I tried Zeam and ADW.Launcher and discovered both will allow you to just drag/drop to the dock bar instead.
Ya I should have searched better, my bad. Just found the answer 10 times over after a bit more reading. I ended up just using ADW instead since this is my only android device so no backup to take from a phone.
So I have rooted and autonootererered. I have Zeam launcher up and running. No issues.
However, when I long press and try to add a shortcut, it just jumps back to the screen. Nothing happens. I can however add icons to desktop through app list by long pressing.
Also, I would much prefer Launcher Pro as I already paid for it for my EVO. However, I cannot seem to change the icons (phone icon, etc) Want to use it for widget purposes, but dont want inactive icons such as phone and contacts sitting on the dock...
Is there a workaround for this?
These are known issues. There are multiple options that can be found by searching the forum.
1. open the app drawer press and hold on the app you want an icon on the homescreen. you will be able to drag it to the homescreen
2. edit your launcher pro settings on your phone, back up and restore on your nook. (search the forum, i think someone has a blank backup or something.
I was wondering if anyone else is using the KLWP pre-sets. I'm a fan of them and I've been using them from the paid app. 95% of the pre-sets load correctly, however; one issue that seems to be persistent is the lower bottom app icons not launching. I've spent hours trying to figure out what is going on, to no avail.
Most of these are set up by creating an overlay group-shape(square typically)-associated icon. They are typically pinned together in a screen length rectangle. All the other toggles seem to work, but I can't get the apps to work. I've checked inside the presets and made sure all squares are designated to launch the needed app upon touch.
I'm trying to do away with icons on the homepage and use only embedded icons, but can't seem to get it to work. Nova Launcher Pro. I run only one home screen and use only pre-sets with one home screen. I'm starting to think that it may be differences based on the phone that it was made on.........
For every app I install from Play Store, it also puts an app on the home screen. It is a mess. I'd rather start with a blank slate and copy the icons I want on the home screen (as well as make folders).
I can't seem to figure out how to remove the icon. I found the options to rename the icon or uninstall, but I can't find an option to simply remove the icon.
Appreciate any guidance on this. I know I could switch to Nova or something, but I'd like to stick to the Rog launcher if I can.
Drag the icon to the top of screen - there should be a delete/ "X" in top area of screen (might turn red if dragged to correct area) - should then be able to delete the icon (I am on Nova, but I think stock launcher worked this way).

I actually like the Asus launcher as well. It kinda grew on me. So long press on home screen, preference, then look for this option. "Add icon to home screen". Don't have it checked. You can also lock the home screen as well.
