I have searched and searched to no avail, and one of these days one of my posts won't be a question.
How in the pooping heck can I change the app drawer icon in Launcher Pro or ADW? I tried it the way I remember doing it a while back with Desktop Visualizer, but there isn't a "launch applications" or "app drawer" -type action to choose from for the drawer icon.
Any help would be appreciated, and if I'm posting in the wrong place, I apologize in advance.

Just long-press on it.
It should pop up with three options, including "Change Icon" choose Custom, if you have another icon for it, on your SD card.
Thanks for the near-instant response! Is this for LP or ADW?

I've never used ADW
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
Hi,
In CM7 I stupidly deleted the link to the App's page. Can anyone please tell me how I can restore the link? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is what you're asking but I think it is.
Long press on the wallpaper like you are creating a shortcut or adding a widget, then select "Launcher Actions". Pick "Open/Close App Drawer". This will add an app launcher icon to your home screen which can then be dragged down to your dock bar where it used to be.
Hi guys, i hope you can help me. I can't find a way to remove app links in navigation bar. I also create a folder but I cannot modified anything in that except for adding links.

I assume you're talking about the dock? When using the stock sense launcher you have to open the app drawer. Then you'll be able to drag icons from the dock into the drawer and vice versa ...
If you do it with the app drawer closed you'll just create links to the app on the home screen.
Hope this helps
In android 4.2.1 , if you moved app to the bar at the bottom or directly on your homescreen, you MOVED IT from app drawer. Now in android version 4.2.2, you just CREATE A SHORTCUT, so apps in the bar at the bottom are duplicated with apps with the app drawer and same with the apps on home screen. Is there any possibility to switch it back like in android 4.2.1 ?

on 4.2.1 if you moved apps from the drawer , they disappeared in the drawer. Now they stay there and only shortcut is created. Its really annoying for me because all apps i have on home screen or in the bottom bar are duplicated also in App drawer and my layout in app drawer is now messed up because of this. I can live with that, but i liked the way in 4.2.1 better
HTC have changed it so you have both

What do you mean? Apps on both places or both options ( move/create shortcut) available?
Thread moved to proper subforum.

You can always hide the app in the drawer. Doesn't that work for you?

^ This.
Also I lol'd at this thread a little bit. Not because OP's gripe isn't legitimate, mind you, but because there were scores of threads when the HTC One first came out complaining about the app disappearing from the drawer when it was put on the dock. I found the irony chuckle worthy.

Ehm, if you hide app in the drawer, you hide also the shortcuts of the app

Personally, i like this on my Nexus 7 , but on HTC One, where you can switch to "custom" in app drawer and have folders there , it seems weird to have same folder in app drawer and also in the dock. But i'll just have to live with that.

Sorry I didn't remember that as I use Nova Launcher where you can hide them and still have the shortcuts.
Why don't you gather these duplicate icons in a folder then ? They will take less of your space.

Yeah, already tried that. But folders has limited capacity so i would need a number of folders, which is quite contraproductive.
Nevermind, it looks like i'll have to deal with this as i dont want to create any other folders or use any other launcher.
Just wanted to know, if there is any possibility how get switch this to the 4.2.1 behaviour.
