I installed Kaosfroyo on my Eris, but only have 5 homescreens. Can't find method to got to 7, even though I saw it after first powerup. Help?
The stock android launcher only goes up to 5. KaosFroyo comes with the ADW launcher baked in. You should be able to go to Settings > ADW Launcher and there should be an option somewhere in one of those menus to change it to 7. If, for some reason, the stock launcher is running, you will need to switch the default launcher back to ADW/LauncherPro/etc in the Settings > Applications >Manage Applications section.
Home Screens
I don't see "ADW Launcher" anywhere. If I look in "Manage Apps" it shows Launcher 2.2. No options to change it, that I could find.
If you are running KaosFroyo v34 then you should have the new ADW Launcher as default. Press the menu button and then click on edit. On the top right and left of the screen are two green plus buttons, press one to add a screen.
Home screens
I installed Kaosfroyo v29. Is that an old version? Can I upgrade to V34, or is it a seperate download?

I'm having a problem with my ADW Launcher which is currently driving me mad and I hope someone is able to shed light on the problem I'm having.
I am using Streakdroid 1.9.0 update and after factory reset and flashing the rom (installing ONLY Gingerbread), I install ADW Launcher (free) through Android Market.
After installing ADW Launcher, I notice that when I long press on the icons on the home screen, there is no EDIT, MANAGE, REMOVE etc menu. Just a simple trash icon on the bottom of the homescreen to remove the icon appears when I long press on an icon on the homescreen.
The problem is, I remember I used to have a menu with EDIT, MANAGE, REMOVE etc previously with my ADW Launcher when I long press on the homescreen icons. How do I bring that back?
Another difference is that there is no more Lock/Unlock Screen option when I hit the menu button on homescreen anymore.
Anyone can help or shed light on this anomaly, PLEASE HELP. It's driving me crazy just wondering how I can get back the menu!
Thanks!
sounds like your still on the dell stage launcher maybe?
What? No, only stick gingerbread was installed. No stage launched. Adw launched installed on top of gingerbread afterwards. The launched IS adw launched, nothing to do with dell stage ui.
Guys,
A quick question on LauncherPro. On most other launchers (ADW, GO , TouchWiz etc) if you open up the apps window and click the bottom left menu button you get a set of options usually for how you want to organise/arrange all your apps. Ive several Launchers which i switch sometimes using Homeswitcher but most of the time i use Launcherpro. On all the rest i get at the very least the option to have them listed as icons or a list view but when i press the bottom left button on Launcherpro nothing happens. Ive been right through all the options on Launcherpro but cant find anything to change the way the apps are displayed. Am i just being incredibly thick (highly probable) or can you not re-arrange/organise any of your apps?
Thanks guys
on villain rom 2.4.2 and use launcher pro
last few days whatever launcher I choose , the launcher won't stay as default after ive ticked the box.
happens on tw launcher asell so is not launcher pro.
have cleared defaults in mange applications numerous times
have reinstalled launcher pro.
have frozen some apps, so that could be a culprit. but none I would of thought would cause this issue.
anyone got any ideas?
any help much appreciated before I reflash vr.
have also tried home switcher app to clear the defaults and choose but still same issue.
a restart has fixed the issue for about 5 mins before, but it always starts again
this unfortunately happens from time to time with launcher pro. I love the launcher but the application has not been updated in a while. just press the home button and it should automatically bring back launcher pro.

just pressing the home button leaves the select your launcher window up. I think our problems are different.
launcher pro is working fine, even if I select touch wiz as my default launcher, enter an app, then press the home key it asks me again to select the launcher and the default tick box.
same as when I reboot the phone, first thing it asks me is what launcher I want!
think I'm gonna wipe and reflash, but just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this problem. as this only started a week after I flashed villain rom, so don't think, its rom related either.
Other than having to change my default launcher on boot, I'm quite happy with my nexus 7. Wonder if the stock launcher can be removed without crippling the system.
Hey i am running cm7 with imoseyen kernel and i accidently removed the dialer/ phone caller on the adw launcher dock bar, how can i get it back i tried resetting adw but didnt work, havent been able to make a phone call for like 8 hours lol, please help thanks.
This worked for me:
Long press on the desktop
Select Shortcut
Scroll down to and select Dialer
Umm I did that, but there is no dialer to select
Choose phone.
Thanks had to go shortcuts - application - phone
So since SPB Shell 3D isn't working correctly for me I downloaded Home Switcher from the market so I can switch back to the Stock Launcher w/o having to uninstall SPB. I opened the program and saw a list of Launchers to pick.
Agile Lock
Home (Moto-Blur)
Launcher Pro
SPB Shell 3D
The top said that SPB was my default. So I chose Home (Motorola) as my new default and clicked launch. It then went to me stock launcher home screen. Everything seemed great. Then the next time I clicked the home key, it defaulted back to SPB. Home Switcher does not allow me to set anything other than SPB as the default launcher. So I uninstalled SPB completely so I can run the stock launcher with no issues. Suddenly, it decides to load Launcher Pro instead. Again, I went back to Home Switcher and set Moto-Blur as my default launcher. I clicked launch and it took me back to my Motorola Homescreen. Again I thought everything was okay until I hit the Home key and it defaulted to Launcher Pro. Wtf! So in a last ditch effort, I uninstalled Launcher Pro also and pressed home to go back to my Motorola Homescreen only to be met with a black screen. My Stock Launcher was gone. I could still see my notofication bar and if I hold the home button I get my recent app list. So I chose Home Switcher and was able to launch the Moto Launcher from there. Then I reinstalled Launcher Pro and it works okay. So it seems that somehow I lost my Stock Motorola Launcher. How could that happen? And how can I fix it? Factory Reset? All these other guys running SPB say they love it and have no issues. Why won't it work correctly on this phone? Even with the stock messaging app, she is still getting the repetition of text messages.

If you go into "manage apps" and the stock launcher app does it give you the option to set it as default? The Home Switcher app may not be setting it properly.
Did you post this in Android Forums as well? I'd try Homesmack to see if you can restore the stock launcher.
