I bought ADW EX launcher from the market quite a while ago. Through updating and switching devices, I now have no option to set a custom dock background. The option to pick a custom dock doesn't even show up in the settings menu, goes straight from Dock style to desktop dots. I have installed, reinstalled, wiped, etc. Any ideas....am I going mad? Thanks guys!
Maybe it's removed? I don't have it either

Find v1.3.3. There is this option.

Try
ADW Settings > Themes and Preferences > Main Dock > Custom > Gallery
Thats where it is on v1.3.3.1
Nevermind....found it. I couldn't find in the change log where it said it was moved, but you have to go into themes>main dock...you can customize it from there. Need to look a little closer next time. Oops. Thanks guys!

Just got the GT 10.1 2 days ago, have been doing a lot of reading on this forum. I have a couple questions that I think some f you would have quick answers.
1. About ADW launcher EX, it appears many recommend this as a replacement the stock home screen. My question is, what would happen to the stock home screen (existing icons, widegets) after ADW is installed? What happens when you uninstall ADW?
2. About rooting, this is a tough one, after reading hours on this forum and other website. There seemed to be many different guides out there, linking different files needed to be downloaded and executed. Also, it's not clear which is applicable to the latest firmwire with touchwiz and honeycomb 3.1.
I only want to root to get access to /system/app and install some widgets. That is, not interested in custom rom. In fact I want to keep mine as stock as possible, so I won't have problem with the next OTA firmware update.
Any suggestions guys?
1. if you uninstall adw it will just revert back to stock. you can have both and switch from time to time by just doing "clear defaults" on the "launch by default" in the app settings.
2. first post in the development area by Lorddeff07 is updated regularly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
Do not have any worries about adw. You don't even have to set adw as your default launcher, so that everytime you hit the home key you will be given the option of which launcher you want to use. I personally could never go back to stock launcher after adw.
As far as rooting, I would read more about it and watch some YouTube videos before you attempt that. If your apprehensive to something like a launcher I don't think your ready to be messing around with rooting the tab just yet. I am debating to root myself just so I can have a black taskbar on touchwiz. If it wasn't for the grey taskbar I don't think I ever would really need to root.

Moving to Q&A
I posted the below question in the Photon 4G forums and only got 1 response.
Anyone know if there is an app, launcher, mod, anything that will allow me to move my dockbar to the top of the screen, below the notification bar? Is it even possible?
The response was that it might be possible in ADW. I did some research, but couldn't find an answer if moving the dockbar is possible in ADW or with anything else. I thought the wider Android audience might know for sure. Or, would it take a new ROM?
Thanks!

Have you tried other Launchers? Go Launcher, ADW, Launcher Pro, ICS Launcher.

I currently use Launcher Pro and have played around with Go. Have not tried ICS, but will look into it.
I'm going with an assumption that the bar cannot be moved, as searching with Google could not find an answer.
Hy,i read that early will be aADW launcher EX on salte at 10cents. I ever use go launcher ex,so I have some questions:
1) ADw launcher have the landscape mode? and it's faster than go launcher ex the transition to portrait form landscape and viceversa?
2)on ADW can i resize widgets?
3)what's faster between ADW and GO launcher?
Tell ADW to fix the 480x800 wallpaper issue first

There is a problem with 480*800 resolution?I have and HD2,so it's important for me. sorry but I don't know anything of ADW can you explain me?
I also hate the way ADW sorts the app drawer. In stead of allowing you to simply hide apps like Go and LPP do it makes you set up groups... Personally I like Go better because it has all the features of LPP and ADW that I like put together.
Dumb Dev....
Removed ability to hide dock- stupid. - use Go instead

No, it's still there . All you need to do is long press the screen, select "Launcher Actions", then scroll to "Open/close Dockbar".
Hey
I am using ADW EX with cm9. Everything is great but one thing is bothering me and I have not been able to find a solution. In landscape mode on the top of the screen is a bar with a menu button on the right. This just takes up space as I have a menu button on the bottom. Anyone know where I can go to remove this? I will attach a photo
Thanks!
Hmm ... I used to use ADW EX with CM9 and I don't recall that. Perhaps try turning off the persistent search (I think it's in CM settings).
Thanks will give that a try
Was not sure if it was a cm9 setting or something with ics's version of adw ex
Looks like that didn't fix it
The cm settings only change the cm launcher which is trebuchet, I am using adw ex.
I'll try installing ADW EX again tonight and giving it a try.

I'm not sure what that is. I don't see an option to remove it, and I don't really see any reference to it in the change notice. He has added some "unique" features in the past that he later gives options to disable (e.g. the "one dock to rule them all"), and I do see a couple of comments in the reviews about it. Perhaps there will be more functionality (and an option to disable) in a future update.
Hey thanks a ton for atleast helping me understand what's going on
The status bars appear to be locked in cm9, apart from removing the search setting and clock details. I haven't been able to get the bottom status bar to appear/disappear with an up or down swipe trying several launchers. Have to wait for an update or go searching for the status bar details in the programming. Not to fussed at the moment, just waiting eagerly for 3.0 kernel to get integrated.
Its specific to adw.
I've been using adw ex on my Xoom through Honeycomb roms and ICS roms and they've always been there. Its a bit redundant but..oh well.
Thanks..hopefully ads devs address this by giving us an option to shut it off
I wouldn't count on it. The app was last updated December 7th.
Hopefully apex or nova launcher will enable docks for tablets soon instead. The dock is the only reason I still use ads ex.

I use it because it let's me create icons that are shortcuts to each home screen. Those I can then edit with simple text app. Do you know of any other launchers that do this

Go to adw settings, UI Settings, Screen Preferences, Show desktop Indicator. Uncheck Show Desktop Indicator and it will disappear. If left on you can select what is shown and where. I leave mine off as I know which screen I am on.
Good Luck!
That's not the right thing. He's talking about the empty space with the menu button in it.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it looks as if show desktop indicator was already unchecked =/
Hello,
I've just installed Nova Launcher Prime on my newly rooted GS2 (Slim Bean Rom) and i've two questions that i can't seem to find the answers for,
Firstly, Is there a option to add or enable a 'homescreen' icon at the bottom on the app drawer. I can't find anything in the settings.
Secondly, I'd like to know where to default icons for Nova are stored so i can edit a few of them and create new ones based off them. I know i can other icon pack/themes/png's etc but they're normally a little bit different and i'd like to have all my icons matching, just being anally retentive i guess.
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
Thanks
