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.

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.

On my Android phone if I hold down the Home key I get the list of running apps on my phone and I can do multi tasking going app to app but on my G Tablet It does nothing happens when I hold down on the Home key ( I am using the stock rom)
, I read the manual word for word. How in the world do I get that on the GTablet.
How do you go from app to app on the gtablet ?
i just held my home key on the bezel and it brought up my running apps. I pressed on one of the apps and it took me right to it.
I think it just doesn't work on the on screen home key. Works with the bezel one.

I am assume the one on the "Bezel" is the one on the right , little icon of the house. below the magnifying glass icon on the touch buttons.
Mine does nothing. I know it works as I can go to the home screen is I tap it but holding down my finger on the house icon does absolujtley nothing. and as I mentioned no custom rom here. Stock. Strange.
I believe that is normal behavior for the stock ROM and dashboard launcher. Try using the standard launcher or try an alternative like Launcher Pro.
Using the standard launcher ( only use the dashboard once in a while) . Guess somethings up. Anyways thanks ya'll.

Hey,
On the bottom of my home screen there is the LG home shortcuts, Phone, Messaging, Contacts, App Drawer and E-Mail. The thing is, the order seems to be a bit weird on mine and I want to change it and if possible remove E-Mail and put in Internet. Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hold your email icon then drag it to bin. Then go to menu find Internet but mine named Browser, hold the icon then drag it to the space that you just removed earlier

I'm not talking about just a normal shortcut on the home screen, I'm talking about the icons at the bottom, long clicking on them doesn't do anything for me.
it is not possible in the normal luncher of the optimus.
i use pro lunch as my luncher and you can put any icon and give it any action that you want.
futuremore there are more advances to this luncher. for example long press on the home botton wiill let you choose between all homescreens.
good luck
it is possible to change every icon on lg home dock bar.
just move the icon you want to put in the dock bar at the bottom most part of the screen where the icon would suit if it were in the dock bar and it will replace the previous icon.
I'll post a screen shot for proof.

Perfect, seems like a stupid way to do it, but it works!
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.

thanks for the tip on more screen realestate.. but i never had the dockbar along the side and can't seem to find the setting to put it there...
Sorry im at work right now on my phone... when i get home ill try and take a screen shot and show you what i mean

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.

Hi, I would like to know how I can toggle Recent App of ICS. It can be shown by long clicking on the home button. The one that has preview because I don't like to be pressing so much my home button as I am noticing improper responses from it. Is there a way to put this as an icon or widget on the homescreen? Thx
Anyone? Tried apps like button savior, etc. But it shows their built-in recent apps instead of the firmware's or samsung's.
BUMP
I know this post is old, but Im trying to figure a way too without using an app or service BUMP\
I found what I was looking for in app LMT using the "invisible swipe gestures" set to top center of screen so that swiping top left is notifications, top right is quick settings, and top center opens recents. This is for anyone who might be searching and happen to land on this dead thread. Any other particular method of shortcut will work if you set it to Activities>SystemUI>Overview.recents is the path to this.

I use GMD Gestures, because my sensitive buttons aren't working. Before, I used CM official inbuilt option that you can change the option sensitive (or back) button for recent Apps. Can really recommend that. Greetings.
