Is anyone having issues with the scrolling on the touchpad with Google music? When I flick up or down it stop scolling as soon i remove my finger. Also when I drag the scroll bar on the right edge the letter will not change unless I move it slowly.
Didn't have these in the pre release version

I'm having the same issue. I've also noticed (on my atrix, doesn't happen on the touchpad) that rotating after taping on the album art kills the GUI. The released version IMO seems rushed.
The same is happening to me as well.
I may try downgradjng ttp 4.0 beta

I do have exactly the same problem with google music on my SGS II...so maybe it´s a apk specific bug?!
I noticed some of the same behavior when dismissing notifocations in the pull down and when horozontial scrolling in pulse. You have to drag your finger very slowly.

I watched the first day of IO and got the music app they showed... but the menu is so laggy! Like 10fps!? Is it just me or are the background animations killing perormance?

Yeah, me too. I really like it but scrolling through the menus is inexplicably choppy for some reason. I can't seem to find other phones with the same problem, so maybe its something to do with the Atrix? I'm running it on Gingerblur 3.1. Anybody else?
I might remove the app, or at least just not use it.
Main problems:
- No Google Cloud Music... kinda the feature of it but it doesn't work for anyone without an invite, which I probably will never get
- Scrobbling doesn't work correctly and it never gets out of the notification bar
- Bluetooth controls don't work.
- Super lag.
I just updated to the latest version of ADW EX, I found that the dock bar must appear and I can't hide or remove it.
Anyone have this problem as well?
You can hide it. Use a swipe gesture to hide/unhide it. Latest-latest update (1.3.3.55) allows it to overlay your homescreen instead of pushing everything up.

You can also Long Press your home screen, choose Launcher Actions, choose the Open/Close DockBar icon.
Use it once, to hide the dock, then delete the icon from your desktop. Voila! Dockbar is hidden, and won't come back until you go through the process again to reverse it.
WAAAAAAAY better than the stupid swipe action that you'll always be triggering by swiping on widgets like News360, Books, YouTube, etc.

I do the swipe method because I like to have the dockbar but I dont want it always visible.
You can keep from opening it while swiping on a widget by swiping the widget slower.
Never had an issue with the dock reappearing on an accidental swipe and I use both up and down gestures religiously.
Happens to me when using "tiled" widgets like the YouTube, Market, or Books widgets, if either swipe up or swipe down is selected. It's a "sloppy" swipe to use those, but ADW intercepts any motion outside the small cards.
It's not quite as bad on a widget with a bigger card, like News360, since you have more "finger on the widget" with the larger cards.
My method works fine, I have absolutely no use for the dockbar with the way I use Honeycomb.

When im scrolling through scrollable widgets, even if i go outside the widget during the scroll, as long as i dont lift my finger, it still registers as being in the widget.
If you're okay with your method, then use it. Everybody has their preference, mine is using swipe gestures to open/close dockbar and app list
I just mapped hide/show the hidden dockbar to the home button, but this feature may have been removed in the new version. I refuse to update it until he fixes what he broke (primarily the ability to stretch the screen to the edges, and the spacing of the bar.

Screen is stretched to the edges. I also kept from updating until today for that same reason. Unfortunately we failed to catch that during testing and it made it into the 1.3.3.5 update. But it's been fixed in the 1.3.3.55 update.

Unfortunately, there is no option to completely eliminate margins anymore. I believe it it was more of a "the code doesn't allow for it anymore" than just a "the option was removed" kind of thing.

Well, whatever the reason, it's still a step backward. The spacing on the dockbar is still ludicrous for a tablet. The old hidden dockbar I could have a lot more things on it. Even without scrolling functionality, I liked it better.
Newest update (1.3.3.56) now has the option to completely disable the dock for those interested.

Does anyone else notice that the widgets overlap when using adw ex? I use it on my phone just fine, but it looks horrible on my tab.
It doesn't matter if I install it from the same google account as my phone right?

Well, if they can't fix this, I guess I am stuck on the old version indefinitely if I want to use the Tab the way I've set it up. :/
Is the Hide/Show Action Bar (the top transparent bar with a few little icons and the access to the ADW settings) also gone now?
I just updated from 1.3.3.1 to 1.3.5.56 and my homescreens are all a mess now. I've lost some of the icons I had vertically, stuck to the righthand side of the homescreen as well. C'mon! I think we're really loosing precious tablet screen realstate with the latest changes, even if they have managed to quickly revert back to the option to disable the dockbar altogether.
Before the update I used this dock as my ICS style dock:

Now there is absolutely no gap between the dock items and the line anymore. Is there a way to let it look like ICS dock again?

I know the update caused all themes to need updating, but I don't know if the dock was affected. Have you tried the ics adw theme? https://market.android.com/details?id=kov.theme.ics Maybe even just try the dock from it.

I've noticed that the stock Sense app drawer scrolls incredibly slow in the "All Apps" tab and isn't much better in the "Downloaded" tab. Compared to ADW EX it scrolls about as quickly as Verizon gets updates out. Has anyone else experienced this?
My Sense app drawer scrolls just fine.
I have tried both LPP+ & ADWLauncher EX in mine & while both work very well I didn't really notice any speed difference between any of them.

Absolutely! Especially when you use a live wallpaper. It's crawling at about 15FPS it looks like.
I've just decided to either stick with a static wallpaper in Sense, or use whatever I want to in GO Launcher and enjoy the high speed smooth scrolling
I guess I never noticed because I never saw the point in using a Live wallpaper.

I don't typically bother with LWP's either, but I like the ICS Phase Beam LWP, so I tried it out. It's not smooth enough though.
Hopefully having real ICS on this phone with hardware acceleration will help the app drawer to be smoother.
IDK how all that works though or if it effects all aspects of the visual experience or not.
Well, I'm not using a live wallpaper. Just wallpapers from my gallery. I wanted to give Sense a try and I do like it, but the reduced speed of the app drawer is enough to convince me to switch back to the speed & added functionality of ADW EX.
It's not slow, it's designed that way. It is meant to show one full slide at a time rather than flocking through all of them at once. It's just how sense is, you'll need ti install another launcher to change it.

Jim - Yes, I'm aware that it's set up to scroll. Thanks for the heads up on that for anyone who hadn't figured it out. However...
I fixed it. I was scrolling through the app drawer today and hit the "Menu" soft key. I found an option to display the drawer as an alphabetical list instead of an icon grid and now it's fast as can be! I also love the list because it's more readable. I know this might not work for everyone, but hey, it's better than waiting for one slow page after another, right?

When using the default browser, does anyone else notice you have to use a little pressure in order for the on-screen menu (bookmarks, tabs, etc) to show? Am I crazy or does the screen seem to be slightly "padded"?

Dolphin Hd browser is king when it comes to browsers!!!
No issues here. No matter what page I'm on if I want the menu to appear I swipe my finger just above bottom to below bottom of screen. Then bookmarks, tabs and what not appear. No extra pressure required.

you do the app association for web urls? settings>app associations>web urls
i tried them both and ics browser+ and stock are just the same performance
chrome beta doesnt support flash
html5 is so much better tho
the current browsers also supports html5 videos
check it out. so good
listen, i think this browser sucks compared to sense 3 browser.
anyway, what you are seeing is by "pressure" your thumb is 'moving' on the touch screen, which is what brings up the menu and address bar. This browser works with "gestures" - means a tiny, or large, "L" shape thumb swipe will bring up the menu and address bar. It also works as a backwards "L" for left handed users. Swipe a small, quick "L" shape anywhere on the page and you will get the menu and address bar. otherwise, you have to scroll allllll the way back up to the top to get it.
Anyone find any other gestures or help screen about what all motions do things??
p.s. - I STILL CAN NOT get the status bar while using the broswer!!!!! HOW DO I GET THE STATUS BAR TO COME BACK?????????????

I have a GP 4.2 and want to know how I can change the Internet App on the Homescreen below the dots for changing screen pages?
I am really liking my first android more than my itouch but I DDID like changing the default homescreen apps on the iTouch. I changed the default Media Players and Web browser on it.
I would like to change the default Internet icon to launch a better web browser. For that matter I would change the Video player to launch something else as well.
Thanks.
Open your app drawer press menu -> edit and drag and drop icons to your dock and rearrange your app drawer how you wish

Thanks. That was easy! Can you recommend a good "Beginners book that might cover things like this (It was NOT in the docs that came with my unit.)
Now my last complaint with Android is finding a good replacement for the Audio player that has navigation similar to an iphone wher eI can navigate albums in and out like folders instead of everything being in just a really looooooong list!
Thanks again.
Personally i have my 2500+ song uploaded to google play music, its a great cloud music player. And i dont know of an in- depth guide to android mainly because i just figured it out as i went, i bricked my player within the first 2 days of having it so i had to get good, fast. Just lurk a bit, youll get the hang of it.
