You'd think you'd just long press and drag away, but you'd be wrong. I can pull the icon out, but immediately another icon is re-created in it's place. Been annoying me all night - I made a folder, added in some Google apps, can't pull one of them out now.
Ideas?
Try removing icons from the dock via app drawer ^_^

Aha! Thank you very much, but please note - I had my App Drawer set to Alphabetical - and it would not let me remove them from the launcher bar.
Once I set that to custom, I could then remove them.
Thanks!

You don't need app drawer, press the button in the middle to see all installed applications, now with your finger press and drag application from Launcher bar to the other applications and you have one empty space now, drag down now one other application and that's it.

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
im using adw ex 1.22 is there a way to change the square little home window
to dots like launcher pro
I played with mine and can't find a way to change the actual app drawer icon. You can change every single other icon to whatever you can possibly think of but not that one. Thats interesting.... hhhuuuummmmmm...... update? lol!
if you're talking about the app drawer icon, then yes, you can change it. Just long press the home screen> Launcher Actions> Open/Close App Drawer. Then there will be a laucner icon on your homescreen. Long press that, then release in place. Choose edit. Click the icon. Choose whatever icon you want. Then Place the new launcher shortcut on the dock.
On mine I can just long press the drawer icon, select edit and change the icon?

if you want to get the icon, you should download a theme first, just type"adw theme" in Market, choose one, and download,
long press the drawer icon, select edit and change the icon
thanks for replies got it working now as i want it now
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.
Link t=1154299http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
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)

I guess it should, but maybe one of those who got their phones already can confirm this.

Yes, it does remove blinkfeed. Tested with apex launcher.
It will still be a background process, will it not? Even though its not visible. Like sense Rosie/prism itself

If you do not delete Prism.apk yes but it won't be active, just an apk doing nothing

Torxx, you wouldn't happen to know a way we can have a alternative launcher running and keep blink feed?
I like it but I want my old Nova Launcher back
Alternatively, If I have to make do (which I expect I will have to lol) How can I change the Icons on the home screen Dock?
Or am I just being as thick as a plank??....
Cheers
To rearrange the dock icons, open the app drawer and then drag the unwanted ones back into drawer. You might need to drag them to where they're supposed to go (i.e. I have my drawer sorted automatically and had to drag the camera to where it'd be in the drawer).
You can only have the 4 apps on there but if you remove any, you're free to put whatever you want in its place.

It would be active, continuously streaming content to its interface on the sense launcher
Best option would be to change launchers and then freeze Sense
Just un-check all the options/feeds leaving blinkfeed blank. This way it fetches nothing. Then run you new launcher.

Thanks for the tip but Ive figured that out. The issue Im having is, If I use a Icon changer, it drops a widget on the home screen that is essentially a shortcut to the app you pick.
Because its a widget, it wont let me move it to the dock at the bottom...
I know I could probably go hinting to try and change the pings manually, I just really cant be bothered as I know It wont be long before I flash another rom.
Any Ideas?
Freeze it in titanium if you don't want it.
Had just spent some time grouping apps in the app drawer when I made an attempt to replace "Internet" on the launch bar with Chrome. It made a folder, which was fine, but now it's stuck that way, with seemingly no way to correct it without wiping HTC Sense data, which I have now had to do!
Pulling the Chrome or Internet icon out of the folder appears to work fine until I complete the gesture. The icon will dump onto the desktop or the bin, but it remains on the launch bar.
I didn't give this a go with any other app, though I can't see Internet in the app drawer which is a first! Is this normal with HTC Sense?
The dock essentially an extension to the app drawer. So when you drag it from the dock to the home screen, it creates a shortcut as if you were dragging it from the app tray.
To remove it from the dock, if that's what you're trying to do, you just move it from the dock to the app tray.
TL;DR - open the app tray, then open the folder, then drag out the unwanted app(s) from said folder.
Haha so simple! Thanks!
Bit weird though, first time I've used a launcher like that.
