[Q] Help with ADW Launcher! - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Home screens

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?

Having problems installing shortcuts

I have rooted my nook tablet. Using a honeycomb launcher
by syndicate apps. Now my problem is I can't place shortcuts in
my home screen. I've been trying to get anycut to work but after
making a shortcut newshortcut > activity > android keyboard debug
nothing shows up (Im trying to change the keyboard)
I've tried searching for a solution here but haven't found one. Anyone
found a way to solve this?
Have you tried unchecking and rechecking both USB debugging boxes? Occasionally that messes up the functionality of apps that require root to function (think Anycut does). What you're doing should work.
I did that and still nothing
Have you tried a power cycle? Worked for me.

The first time I tried Anycut, I was using ADW Launcher and the shortcuts wouldn't appear on its home screen. Then I happened to go into Go Launcher which was installed but I wasn't really using at the time, and there were the shortcuts I had created. I have since switched to Go Launcher as my only launcher and the shortcuts appear every time. Just a thought, but maybe try having Go Launcher installed at least next time you try Anycut & see if they show up there. Worked for me.

I'm running into the same problem as BryanSo. I've tried all the aformentioned suggestions and I still can't make shortcuts or folders. When I try, the word "Honeycomb Launcher" in a box shows up on the top of the screen and disappears a few seconds later.
Sounds like a problem with honeycomb launcher. Did you guys try GoLauncher like 150pilot suggested?
When you install any alternate launcher, it should bring back the option to switch to it with the n key- so you can always try it, and then uninstall it and reset your default.
Same happens to me. Alrite ill give go launcher a try
Got it to work it was a problem with the launcher thanks
I am having this same problem with Honeycomb Launcher. I will try Go Launcher...

Help! My stock launcher won't come up!

Hello all.
I've been recently using Go launcher, ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro. Then I decided to get back to the stock launcher but didn't know how to do it. So I uninstalled them all and now all I can see is a black screen.
I managed to run titanium backup and restored my phone and launched go launcher again. But how to get back to my stock launcher? Is re-installing the rom the only option?
Go to market and download moto home fix. That worked for me!
Homesmack is a great option for this, too. Also lets you choose your own app for the double tap home feature.

Thank you. I guess moto home fix is on the phone by default.(When you clear defaults and press the home key and a message pops up "continue action using...".) Anyway, I managed to recover the stock homescreen after downloading and installing "Home Switcher". However, after rebooting my phone, Go launcher was still interfering with the stock launcher. I had to freeze it, so I could restore the original one. I don't know why Go launcher made this problem.
I can't believe I missed the stock launcher this much!

adw challenges

Rooted nook on cm 7, after I started using it today, I lost my status bar and soft buttons. I did not go into settings and change anything. Any direction towards some help on adw launcher would be appreciated.
Thanks
Try reboot? I have lost my launcher a few times. My status bar once or twice. A reboot always fixes it. Not exactly sure yet what has caused it. If it happens again, get a logcat or dmesg and post it up for the cm7 team to check out.

try doing the obvious thing first and reboot? i had that problem with beautiful widgets and a reinstall of that app solved the problem. did u restore adw with titanium backup? if u did try reinstalling adw.
The status bar disappearing I believe is a CM7 issue in and of itself. I run CM7 on my phone and it has happened on the phone more than the NT.
Thanks for the responses. A reboot has brought everything back as it was. Enjoying my CM7 tablet and the support on this forum!
Did it force close, or did it just disappear with no error or warning?
If no error, it could have just been hidden.

I'm sure the regular version of ADW has this too but I have the paid version to go off of. You can set gestures to show/hide the "DockBar" and/or "StatusBar". Regardless of wether it was a gesture or a glitch you may want to try this if it happens again:
Long press on a blank space on the home screen.
Select "Launcher Actions" from the menu.
Select which ever you need: "Show/hide statusbar" or "Open/close DockBar"
Then just press the new icon on the home screen to restore the statusbar or dock.
Personally, my status bar disappeared without error. Nothing I did would get it to restart other than a quick reboot. Which I am accustomed to anyhow so it's not really a big deal to me. As for the launcher disappearing, it happened. No error. Reset/restart ADW does nothing. Again, this has happened on my NT, my phone, and a coworkers HD2 phone running cm7 as well. It's basically something that I (and her as well) have just learned to live with. Restarting is quick enough to bring everything back to life.
I've got the paid version on four devices (Two NT's, a HD2 and a G2) and have never seen this. Perhaps it's an intentional limitation in the free version... Just kidding. I'd send the author an email about it. Try the widgets I suggested, I'm curious to know if they work to remedy this. Also check that "Gestures" isn't turned on and configured in the Setting (if that's even in the free version).
