Hi,
Is there an app that would hide app which we are using? Just like in N9. I'm annoyed cause my back key light is always turning on.
when i was using go launcher 3 weeks ago, i remembered it allows to hide app, you can try or why dont you group similar apps in a folder this launcher can do
I just want to hide an app when I quickly swipe from top to bottom

dude press the home button or use swipe pad ..................
I was using swipepad, but couldn't set it to show homescreen cause ADW.Launcher EX doesn't show ADW in applications, and Swipepad shows 9 applications, not just simply one :/

I upgraded to rooted Froyo 2.2 the other day (KaosFroyo). It has that dock on the bottom main home screen. 3 icons, phone, app drawer and used to be browser icon but not mysteriously developer icon instead. I do not know how to change it back to the browser icon. Please explain
I never use the dock bar since I go for a clean look (I even have a transparent app drawer tab) but you should be able to just drag the browser icon from the app drawer and hold it over the spot you want and drop it. Should stick. Hope this helps.
Press and hold the icon. You will get a text box with options to change icon. Pick new application then default icon.

Actually, that's the solution for LauncherPro, but the original description sounds more like ADW.
In ADW, you drag icons to the spot in the dock where you want the icon to be. Just drag it over the one you want to replace and drop it and that should take care of it - if you are, in fact, using the ADW launcher.
I'm running touchwiz, and deleted the web icon from the app drawer. I have a web icon on my homescreen, but how the heck do I get it back into the app drawer.
How can I restore deleted icons in the app drawer?
Hey,
You can't delete the icon from the app draw without uninstalling the app. Since the icon is on your desktop then you have not deleted it.
TW allows you to organize/customize the app draw but there will always be the default setting with all apps. I have not used TW in a long time but, open the app draw and hit the menu button. If I remember correctly you will have options for custom app draw but there will also be the default, which will have all of your apps.

You actually can delete them, I know because I did LOL
You can delete it, by going to your app drawer, then hitting menu, then custamizable grid, then edit the grid, then pull the icon out of the app drawer and put it in your dock, now its not longer in your app drawer. Now put the icon from the dock into the trash, and now its gone!
I have a backup icon on my homescreen, but now, I can't seem to reverse the process and get the icon back into the app drawer
I guess the problem is, technically the icon is still somewhere is on my phone, just not in my app drawer! I want it back into the app drawer.
Sorry, maybe I was not clear. When I say app draw I'm talking about the default app draw. This display is not"customizable" therefore you cannot delete the icons unless you delete the app. You must be using a customizable grid.
You get the icon back by either using the default grid, or editing the customizable grid. Sound like you have the basics of the latter, just play around with. GL

Yes, I'm using the stock samsung touchwiz customizable app drawer. Trust me you can remove the icon from the app drawer, it lets you. The problem is, putting back in.
Yeah, SykesAT, you're incorrect. Give this a shot:
Tap "Applications"
Press "Menu"
Tap "View Type"
Tap ""Customizable Grid"
Press "Menu"
Tap "Edit"
Tap "-" (minus sign) on the apps that allow it.
Sadly, Sammy, I don't know how to get them back. Uninstall/reinstall an option?

The minus sign is uninstall, and it only allow unisntall not system apps. Web browser is a sys app and you shouldn't be able to delete it. Are you sure is not in the dock not the desk?
When you place an item in the dock, it desapears from the drawer...
You can always do a factory reset...... Not fun but it is something.....
Ok so messed around with it some more, and I thought I had trashed the icon from the dock. It appears it didn't go from dock to trash, it went from dock to app drawer, but out of alphabetical order so I wasn't seeing it.
So here is the new issue:
Techinically, I guess I want 2 copies of the icon, meaning.
I custamize my grid, I take the web icon OUT of the app drawer and put it into my dock. Meaning now the web icon is in my dock, and there is no longer a web icon in my app drawer.
However, I would like a copy, meaning I want the web icon in both my dock and app drawer. Anyway to make multiple copies of the icon? I know you can make multiple copies of icons on your homescreens, but seems like touchwiz doesn't give me the option. Either only lets me put it either in the dock or the app drawer, but not both places at the same time
I used desktop visualizer to create a second copy. Why not use a secondary web app like dolphin hd or opera? Just a thought....
I am luvin CM7 but, one question with the drop down menu/notifications screen. I cannot use, it's not there on all five screens when no apps are open. I need to open an app before it comes back up top and I find it a pain. Is this common to CM7 with the Thunderbolt or have I somehow screwed up...again.
Try swiping upward on the home screen. That's a feature of ADW to hide the status bar.

Try long-pressing the Menu key - that's what hides/shows my status bar.
Long press home screen, "Launcher Actions", "Show/Hide statusbar", click widget you added, delete widget after you have it back.
Or he could just check/uncheck the Hide Statusbar option in ADW Settings.
Big Yes....
ADW settings did it. Thanks man....
Hey guys,
I really want to add a shortcut to the app drawer in the middle of my homescreen. I can't find the ability to do this anywhere. No widgets, apps or shortcuts I can find lead to open my app drawer. No, I don't want a folder, I just want to open my app drawer. I've used the search button, no one seems to have an answer.
Bump? Anyone?
What launcher are you using? ADW and Launcher Pro both allow this, and probably other launchers too. On ADW it's just press and hold on an empty space, select Launcher Actions and then Open/Close App Drawer.
If you want to change the icon you can press and hold the existing one, select edit and browse to an alternative.
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to access the go launcher ex settings via a shortcut. I currently have my swipe down gesture as show/hide notifications and from what I understand the only way to access the go launcher settings is through the menu button on the notifications bar. I have already tried using Anycut, but could not find a setting that resembled what I wanted. Please reply soon, thanks!!

Install ButtonSavior app from the Market which will allow you to enter settings anytime you want
I second that. Button Savior is a life saver. I went ahead and paid for the pro version so I could remove the buttons I didn't need.
I can't get to the settings menu for go launcher. Swiping down doesn't bring up the menu bar
