Adw and CM 6.1 RC2 dock help!

OK so I just updated to the new cm release canadate and I love it!
Only problem is that when you delete things from the home screens you now bring it to the top of the screen instead of the bottom to delete it. Well I was re-doing my home screen and accidentally dropped my messaging app in the place were the adw launcher should go (dock at bottom of screen). So now I can't get into my apparently drawer
How do I put adw back onto my dock?
Also is there a way to lock them in place?
Thanks in advance

Long press on the home page> custom shortcuts> launcher settings> open/close app drawer.
Drag the new icon to the dock bar...

Thanks for the tip man.
I knew it was going to be something simple

haha I did the same and re-flashed the rom...
later I figured out the solution, same as it in second post

[Q] di11igaf's rom v5.2 menu problems

I just flashed di11igaf's rom v5.2 and if you go to the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897416) and look at the screen shots, there is a five icon home screen menu that's silver. I flashed specifically for that, and as soon as it loaded up after flashing, I got the three icon one. Any ideas on why or how to fix it?

is that launcherpro? i think theres a option to use that or the android launcher as default when you hit the home button

There was launcher, launchpro and twlaunch, and I picked launcher

Thats why... You need to pick launcherpro. If you already set default, then download an app called home switcher or home manager and clear defaults then choose launcherpro. Then go press menu>Preferences and custumize it however you want. Btw launcherpro is just and app and can be downloaded from the market onto any phone and rom. And anyways most roms have it already, just because it isnt on the picture doesn't mean it isnt in the rom. And next time you can just as this in the rom thread and you would have got a faster response.

I thought that could be the problem so i just went into recovery and flashed again and I picked twlauncher and then launcher pro and it gave me the different menu. I then refreshed the window on my laptop and you gave me a confirmation, so thanks. I still dont have the cool sliver mesh menu so if theres any ideas about that, its appreciated but if not, thanks for your help.

go into the prferences and advanced setting then choose dock then custom dock and u should have the custom docks in your album to choose from then use launcherpro icons

Thanks but I recently switched too firefly and the dock its great so I'm gunna stick with that, but thanks anyways.

[Q] Miui/Galnet launcher

Hi all,
I've got a little question, i've update to Galnet v3.3 works fine,
but the scroller on the bottom (above the bottom buttons) has disappeared
any idea what I can do?
Cheers,
Wilco

Where did you find this "Galnet" launcher?

the Miui launcher does not have an app drawer. all of your apps will be in the home screens. If you dont like it, install another launcher

Galnet is the ROM you are using right? Do you mean the indicator which shows you which page you are on? It's theme dependant so try changing the theme.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Oh sorry for the confusion!
I updated my galnet rom and this had the standard miui launcher, other co workers have the same version and have the same launcher but at the bottom there is a slider normally do you can quickly
slide to the last home screen, that's gone
Cheers,
waw

Launcher

Can somebody try running a different launcher for me? Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I just got into a friend's HD. It's proving to be quite a hassle to get another launcher running. Tried Launcher Pro just for kicks, and I don't even get an option to choose my launcher after pressing the home button. Defaults can't be cleared from the Applications>Installed Applications menu for the Kindle Launcher. Trying Nova or Apex next but it doesn't look good.
I'm glad I got my Nexus 7 after looking at this Amazon-ridden mess.

If I cant even install a launcher I probably wont buy one. My nexus was good, but it has slowed down, and has screen ripple and screen lift
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah, just got ADB working and tried to install Nova that way. No luck.
I've had my Nex7 for a month or so now and it's still running smoothly. I do change my ROM often though. The only hardware issue I've noticed is some issues with the digitizer. It seems to touch things when it's sitting. It may be my screen protector but it seems like a widespread issue.
Edit Again: Make sure your back housing is secured correctly. I noticed mine was starting to ripple quite badly (after I got curious and removed the back cover) until I gave the back cover a good squeeze all the way around the device. It went away then. I've also read adjusting the corner screws under the cover fixes some of the ripple, LCD bleed, and lifting of the digitizer.

I tried some of that but didnt seem to work. Thank you for that. Shame because I really want too. I am experiencing lag that bothers me the most. Thank you

Are you running stock? Its odd for the Nexus 7 to be laggy.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah. It isn't to laggy, other than in thebapp drawer it will lag . It isn't as fast as it was before. There is an thread bout it

Not being a mod but can we stay on topic please? This is KF7 forum not N7. Thanx.

Back on topic, here's some info about alternate Launchers:

Wow. I hope there is for this

Try ADW Launcher Ex apk from 4shared.com.
It is running fine on my kfhd. I don't dare hit the home button or reboot afterwards, I'll just put it to sleep and hopefully be able to enjoy this launcher with ICS going forward and not the carousel.
I'll add widgets and a theme soon and see what happens.

Would the Default App Manager application from the Play Store not solve the problem of not being able to select a different launcher?

No I guess not, since all it does is present the standard Application Info screen. Kinda lame.

Eh? I am running ADW launcher ex and it works fine. The home button just takes you back to the stock amazon launcher but then you just start up ADW again through the icon. It's a pain having that extra step since you can't change default but it's still 100x better than the amazon carousel.

Well initially I wasn't sure what would happen if I hit the home key or turned off the KFHD, I didn't want to lose the alternate launcher.
I know now it created an icon in the apps to get that launcher back when you want it. Better yet, I just leave the icon first in my carousel to get access! It is a million times better than the carousel but I think I remember from the first KF, I had to go back and clean up the carousel since the alternate launcher leaves a trail of what one does so I just did it when I turned my KF off at night for good.

did you do anything special to put it on your KFHD? i've tried installing several launchers, but can't ever find them in the app section of the amazon launcher

Thanks for the tip. ADW is working great for me. Well, maybe not as good as it was. In the process of trying to change the wallpaper it got stuck on the Yellow Flowers.. I've cleared data, cleared cache and uninstalled and reinstalled. Heck, I'd be happy now with the wallpaper that first installed on it. I really like the ADW launcher compared to Amazon. Not sure I can hang with the yellow flowered wallpaper tho. Any ideas?

I don't mean to troll and please don't consider this a personal attack or anything but in a previous post you referred to the KFHD as an "Amazon-ridden mess" and are glad you got your N7 but you seem to put up with a lot just to have the N7....i.e. ghost touches with the digitizer, ripple, screen bleed , screen lifting not to mention fragile screen glass being reported in other XDA threads. The other poster complains of lagging which you fob off as not much of an issue but there is an entire thread on XDA devoted to this and what seems to be either an IO issue to the memory or a real problem with the type of memory being used. Yes, we know the KFHD is a closed ecosystem and many Android devotees would walk across glass before buying such a thing but you still need to have some perspective. Too many here seem to excuse a lot of issues with the N7 just because it is pure Android. The things you excuse in an N7 seem to me to be severe hardware issues. You and others don't seem to mind cause it's pure Jelly Bean. I'm willing to put up with some software limitations as long as I can sideload apps just to get what seems to me to be superior hardware and what looks like superior build quality. I can wait for the unlocked bootloader.

All I can think of is uninstall ADW, download the apk file again form 4shared.com, install it and just take the defaults on the options screen for ADW.

Nothing will show up but ADW launcher, everything else I tried for launchers said they installed but one cannot get to those other launchers.
Download the apk file for ADW Launcher Ex from 4shared.com and install it. Once you open it, it will create an icon automatically afterwards.

Home Button Stops Working

Hey folks, i'm here seeking for help; i was using the Nova Launcher on my Moto g and after the latest firmware update ( which gives you the awesome google launcher...*sarcasm*) i noticed that the home button wasn't redirecting me to the Default Page i searched everywhere about this issue, tried changing the options in Nova Launcher , nothing worked. So i had to reset the phone to fix this annoying issue, than i wanted to give it another chance and install Apex Launcher this time, same issue, factory reset again; i was so pissed off that i renounced to try any other launcher but i really don't like google now launcher and i disabled it, now i even noticed that i cannot choose a non scrolling wallpaper with this awesome launcher, anyone else with my same experience? thanks for the help in advance.

Using Nova here, on latest update, no problems at all
I've tried many launchers in these days (Apex, Apus, Atom, EverythingMe, Aviate...) and home button worked on all of them
and I like Google Now Launcher :<
