Have you looked in the app manager to see if it's just disabled, almost impossible to uninstall with out using some adb commands.

Ahhhh.... Thanks for that suggestion. I had contacts disabled as i wanted to use Google's contacts app. Had no idea that would also take away the phone

help!!! lost icon!

i cleared off my music icon off my home screen and accidentally removed them from my app drawer... the only way i can access my music now is through settings> applications .... does anyone know how i can get the music icon back onto my apps drawer? thanks
Huh? I didn't think you could "delete" an icon from the app drawer. Are you using some kind of Home replacement application?
are you using aluncher ?

we can't , he has to be using the aluncher !!!!!!
I'm guessing that you've got advanced launcher
i haven't got it in front of me at the moment as I'm running stock Cyan 4.2.5, so i can't remeber the exact labels, but go to menu > extended and you should be able to resore the drawer icons from there.

Froyo Dialer Button -> Dialer One

Is it possible to change the standard dialer app to Diale One or similar?
In Froyo there a new buttons besides the luncher icon.
Telephone and Browser.
Dolphin HD is the default browser on my system and the new browser button on Froyo opens Dolphin HD, BUT the new Telephone Button opens the standard dialer instead of my installed Dialer One ...
How can i change this?
Been hoping someone would figure this one out. Bump for you.
As noted in the changelog notes for Dialer One, there is currently no way to replace the Dialer button on the default Froyo Launcher.
use launcher pro and change the shortcut. its great.

Dialer not installed?

Hey guys,
My dialer shortcut icon at the bottom of the screen to the left of the drawer and web browser button is no longer working. The icon has been replaced with the white and green Android icon that looks very similar to the Market icon. When I click it, it says, "Application is not installed on your phone." I can access the dialer if I put a Contacts icon on my desktop.
How can I fix this problem?
Has anyone encountered this problem? I went into stock recovery mode and I cleared the cache but the dialer icon still does not work.

Will it launch from the app tray? And are you using the stock launcher or a custom one?
I've found every time a built-in app updates I have to remove it from ADW and put it back or it doesn't work. Google Maps, Google Voice... I think those are the two I've noticed it on but pretty sure it's anything that's in the ROM. Maybe that's the issue.
Khaytsus,
Thanks for the response. You were right on the money. It was my ADW Launcher that I installed. The uninstalled and reinstalled ADW and it works perfectly now. Thank you.

erm.. You would not have to reinstall ADW to fix that, just replace the shortcut in ADW, but okay, glad it's fixed

[Q] ADW Notifier, LPP, & GoSMSPro

Hey guys,
Up until today I was using the stock messenging app. I use LPP and custom icons in the dock, and used ADW notfier to show me unread counts on the icons in the dock.
It worked flawlessly with the stock messenging app, but it's not working with GoSMSPro for some reason.
To be make it clearer... I added the messenging app to the LPP dock, then picked my own icon (text based, from the Generation X icon .psd template), and set the stock messenging app as the app to be used in ADW notifier. This worked.
Now I have set GoSMSpro as the shortcut on my dock, same custom Icon, and went into ADW notifier and set GoSMSPro as the app.
That doesn't work. It shows the count on the notification icon in the notification bar up top, but not on the LPP shortcut. I already tried the Chuck Norris mode, and put GoSMSPro on the whitelist, still no luck...
Anybody have ADW Notfier or a similar app working for GoSMSPro launcher shortcuts?
If anyone has ADW Notifier working, please let me know how.
If you have another app working for that, please let me know which app.
Thanks!
Sorry....but ADW Notifier has been a bit of a mystery for me. Got it to work briefly on my K-9 email icon but when I flashed to a different ROM it stopped working, and I haven't been able to get it going again.
Am watching responses to your question to see if I can get some insight.
doesnt work for me either, so i stopped trying to get it work
it used to work only after i "changed" the color of the popup (i.e. click change but use the same color as it was before) but now that doesnt work either. hope somebody can tell me how to fix it. Until then, I've uninstalled it so that it doesnt run as a service
It still works on my custom icons on the launcher dock for missed calls and e-mails (Gmail app), just not with GoSMSPro it seems... I wonder if it's not supported or what..
i think.. GoSMSpro has its own service. I uninstalled ADWnotifier and GoSMSpro has its own notification bubble, not neither phone nor gmail does now.. haha
I noticed that in the notification bar (when i unhide it) it shows a count over the icon up there, but not on my dock icon... This if frustrating. I also disabled the SMS part of ADW to try recreate what you saw, but it still won't show.
Where are you seeing the count now? On a dock icon? shortcut on homescreen? Thanks!
on the dock over the GoSMSpro icon
I just opted to delete ADW and go with Go Launcher and now everything is fine.
Does the GoLauncher also show the unread count for missed calls and e-mails the same way?
OK, I use the widgets I paid for in LPP so GoLauncher is not an option. The main reason I'm using GoSMS is for the "theming." I'm using black theming throughout my phone with red accents to cut down on screen drain, and it just looks awesome. My keyboard is themed the same way, and I hated the way the stock messanging app chat looks, with the blue and green. Is there any way to change that? I looked through the phone files a little bit but can't find the pictures that draw the chat bubbles. And If I found them I wouldn't know how to change the font color... Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I use go SMS pro as well but I use SMS unread count and have no issues with it working with go SMS pro
I tried that, but SMS Unread only works on a widget you create, I'd like for it to show the count on my launcher dock icon/shortcut.
It seems that ADW.Notifier just isn't compatible with GoSMSPro... Because I even tried putting a shortcut to GoSMSPro on my homescreen, and with it in the whitelist with Norriz mode on it still doesn't provide the count.
This is why I now just want to change the theming of the stock messaging apps chat bubbles. Theming and customizing the look is the only thing that draws me to GoSMS, but if using it interferes with my homescreen look/functionality I don't want to use it.
Found somebody who is going to theme the chat bubbles of the stock messaging.apk. Will give me the look I'd like and functioning dock icon notifications.
Thanks for your time guys!

App drawer

Hi guys,
I've done a quick search, sorry if this has been covered. I've just recently picked up a p20 pro after a couple years with Google pixel.
Really happy with it so far, the only thing is I'd like to swipe up to access the app drawer.
I know about nova launcher and converting to 'stock' android. My question is how would I keep all the features currently on EMUI with the only mod being so I can swipe up to access app drawer.
Thanks in advance
nope, not possible and if i have to be honest then i like it just as is without a app drawer to begin with. Nice and easy all icons on the main screen from the start but i do think that in the new Pie releases that i have seen the swipe up drawer but cant confirm.
I know what you mean. I can't work out if it's habit or I actually prefer an app drawer. But I do find myself wanting one for some reason.
Can I hide/alter the Google search bar on EMUI or simply just move it?
Thanks again

i just removed my google search bar and im using the one in the google feed. I get your point tho because when i just got my p20 pro i also was missing the swipe up to get to my apps. Back then i had multiple folders on my homescreen filled with apps and i had turned off the "add app to homescreen" after install so that i had to do everything manually but in the end it takes more work this way and even had some folders with the same app which is retarded of course
Now i also got a couple of folders and 1 is called system where i put in all app related to the system or apps that i wont use so that the homescreen stays more clean
