I am running adw ex and I love having the option of using the large hidden dock bar as my main dock but this only seems to work randomly and I don't know how to get it to reappear again. Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution? Thank you

i don't seem to have this problem. I just touch and drag-up on the launcher icon and its there. it does pop up when coming back to the homescreen once in a while, but thats not really an issue.
Problem i did notice tho, is that the icons on my homescreen can't be place at the left or right edge, its just a blank column that i can't put apps in, really minimizes the space i have and doesn't look as nice with everything closer to the middle. I only have this issue with EX, not the free version.
Any help there?
Are you talking about the regular "phone" dock bar (right side of screen in landscape) or the hidden dock bar (bottom of screen in landscape)? Because the regular one can be removed in the ui settings to give more screen real estate. Then there is another option to make the hidden one your main dock.

Nevermind I just assumed the main dock bar was on the side like launcher pro. But I figured out the hidden one can be set with a gesture so now mine can hide /unhide with a swipe down. The hidden one is way better anyway and can hold way more icons.

Just installed Froyo 2.2 yesterday and so far i like it aside from a couple things i miss but its sooo much faster!
Anyways somehow made my bottom bar disappear and now i have no idea how to get into my application page. I'm talking about the bottom part with the Phone icon, Application Icon, and Browser Icon. I think i might have held it to long while i was messing around and it went down and now its gone. Been trying to bring it back for awhile now and cant find out how.
p.s. I tried to post a screen shot of my phone but it wont let me due to being a new user.
Froyo has the ability to hide the app drawer bar and notification bar by swiping up or down on the home screen go to your home screen and swipe down like you are browsing a website should pop back up.

awesome! thank you so much for the quick response!
Is there anyway to add icons to that? I noticed that if i hide that then i can put icons on the bottom but is there a way to add icons directly to that "drawer" as u called it
Of course. Just go to the app drawer and select an app. Keep hold of the app like you would to put it on the home screen and drop it down on the bottom bar. I believe you can scroll through the bar as well. I know for sure you can on Launcher Pro because that's what I use primarily.

What you have discovered is the new scrollable dock bar in ADW. It freaked me out the first time I opened it. By default, it is accessed by swiping up on your screen. This action is very buggy and only works seldomly.
How to change it - go to ADW Settings > System Preferences > Swipe Down Actions > Open/Close Dockbar. Now from your homescreen you can swipe down any where below your notification bar and access this scrolling dockbar. You can drag and drop unlimited apps in it. When you want your normal dockbar back just swipe down again on your screen.
Hope this helps.

Could someone please download the app from the market, setup and let me know if you any text freezing while typing, scrolling issues while on the Internet or XDA App? It was messing with my phone but would like to know if others have issues too. (BTW... I really like the App)
Thanks

Wave Launcher is fully customizable. You can change the size, location and even thickness of the gesture-area. To change it, look for "Gesture-area presets" in the Settings screen.
The setting the works for most people and is my personal favorite is "Bottom Left - 20%". It will never interfere with the keyboard or scrolling this way.
Note that you can also have Wave Launcher automatically disable in Landscape mode which is often used for typing, games, etc.
The app is very powerful and highly customizable, please go through all the settings to make sure you make the most out of it.
Any reports guy's?

Used it and it interefered with a lot of things going on on the bottom of the phone such as opening the app drawer and typing. Just my experience others may vary.

As Mike said above.
I also tried it for a bit, and even changed the popup swipe location but it is just OK. I think bottom corner 20% was the one that worked best for me, but even then I would accidentally press the Home button. Sides are for screen sliding already, and top is for notifications, so there is not much free room to swipe around. Its a fine launcher, but I did not find it useful enough to keep.
I thought it would let me make a gesture to swipe it onto the screen, not follow my finger around everywhere, to where I cant even get rid of it without the awkward swipe back into the same corner of the screen.
What it should have is a setting on how far to follow you across the screen, so if I swipe up from bottom corner, it appears, then it follows me around but only until I get to say 50% of the screen height, then it goes away.
That way, if it appears accidentally, I dont have to swipe is back down, but simply continue the swipe up motion until it dissapears.
I tried it but didn't care for it. Holding the Home screen button essentially does the same thing. Aloso, If you're running stock then you've got your most recent apps in the notification drop down. Unless you are constantly switching between apps, it's pretty pointless.
I use mine for a quickdial and store a few contacts there. so far it hasn't interfered too much
Thanks for your feedback guys!

On the bottom of the screen swipe DOWN where the dock should be. (May be up, can't remember offhand) I had that happen with my Atrix. I am not running CM7 right now, but that should bring back the dock.
It's an adw launcher feature. If you swipe up from the bottom if the dock, the dock disappears. You can add other apps in this alternate dock type place. To get your actual dock back swype down from the top of the empty region below your app icons.

Hey Folks,
Note sure if this is the appropriate section to put this post, but since it's theme oriented I figured I'd put it here.
So I've been programming the Hubs nav setup on my Prime. Everything has worked out well so far except for the following:
Occasionally when I connect my tab to my dock (or unconnect), the bottom most Minimalistic Text shading widget will switch to be over top of three Simpletext widgets that are meant to open apps. Restarting the Prime or plugging in (or unplugging) the dock don't seem to fix the issue. I'll be forced to erase the MT widget and install a new one.
Locking the ADW screen doesn't seem to help either.
Does anyone else have this issue? Anyone have a work around?

Bump. Anyone else have this issue?
I have the same problem with widgets flipping over on top of each other (I have a picture/gallery widget on top of a Pure calendar widget, but about half the time it's under the calendar widget. Meh.)
Anyway, instead of using a simple text widget have you considered just using the app's shortcut icon, deleting its text, and then changing the picture to an ADW dock so it turns invisible? You know, the same way you do the shortcuts to change screens? Clicking on my minimalistic text widget that displays weather conditions takes me to my weather app.
And I'm not at my tablet right now, but there may also be an option for the minimalistic text widget itself to launch an app when clicked?
Same Issue
I've tried creating the MT widget last, tried overlapping my clock widget first over the MT box before correcting the overlap but both to no avail.
Overlap works for most screens, but the standby screen / the screen before deep sleep tends to switch the overlap order.
There are times especially after a long power off, when my MT widgets seek the topmost order of the screen. Any chance on finding out what the problem is? Thank you.
May I ask again why you're using SimpleText to launch an app instead of 3 invisible app icons? I have used this method underneath a few hubs without issue for nearly 6 months now.
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were OP. But yeah, I've never been able to find a solution to this rather annoying problem for sometime now.

This is a common issue. No idea but it may lie with MT. Contact the developer.
Otherwise I've yet to see this issue between simple text and MT. Did you disable the tap action on MT?

Hey folks,
Thanks for everyone's advice! I ended up replacing with icons in the end.
Flip: How does one disable the tap action on MT? Do you think that might be the issue?

When this happens to me (usually during the screen orientation change) I do the following:
1) Open the stock launcher (might have to reset the settings)
2) Open the recent apps bar and close ADW
3) Start ADW anew
This fixes the issue every time. However, I ended up disabling screen orientation changes in ADW using the 'Landscape' setting instead of auto rotation. The z-Level issue didn't happen to me since then.
First of all, I sincerely apologize if this is the wrong section for such a post.
Basically I trying to setup a homescreen in which part of it can scroll vertically, but another part doesn't move. I currently have Lightning Launcher, which is great by the way, but I can only set it up so that the entire screen scrolls. I was thinking it would be nice for have a spot on the left side of the screen for favorite apps and maybe some widgets (I guess you could call it a "dock"), and on the right side of the screen have a scrolling list of the rest of my applications. Probably with 1/3 of the screen being the left portion and 2/3 being the right portion. Can this be done with Lightning Launcher? or any other launcher? and how?
Anyone?

It can be done with Lightning Launcher.
I am a fan, actually.
First, select the apps you want in the dock.
Then, line them up on one side of the screen.
For each, long press in the new version and select pin.
In the old one, you go to common itms setting or something.
After you pin, you can add a dock by giving the apps backgrounds.
