I have a Razr Maxx with OTA ICS update plus rooted running Go Launcher EX. When I to go home screen press and up pops the the 4 selections on the bottom and widget is to the far right. I select that and then I see all my widget choices with icons, but the widget name - text to the right of the icon is invisible. If I push my finger over it the text appears but then disappears if I pull my finger away.
Any suggestions? I have tried every font color setting I can find.

Try a rom. I'm running full throttle with the theme and I don't have the issue and the theme rocks.

It is because the way to add a widget with ICS is by the drawer in the widget tab.

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.

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've only had the phone a few days, and accidentally deleted the long 4x1 Accuweather widget that's on the homescreen (it normally sits right underneath the clock on the homescreen).
I've gone to add new widget, but the Accuweather widget listed there is only 2x1. Does anyone know how I can get the long one back again that stretches all the way across the screen? I did a search on these forums but couldn't find anything..
Thanks!
You can only resize it on touchwiz launcher. You have to add widget then hold it down (make sure u have space)
If your using a different launcher and try resizing it, it wont work. It will become overstretched

Same here, only option is 2x1, no amount of long pressing the widget will give any other size, even on an empty homescreen

Make sure it's moved over to the left when you hold then release it - it should give you a resizing handle.

ok, just press and hold, until you feel the haptic feedback, then let go(dont slide it/move it, just press/hold/let go).
if you have space on the screen it will give you the available options on screen. yellow boxes. then you just move the silver triangle(bottom right corner)
Thanks again but no go. When I press and hold till the haptic feedback nothing appears on the home screen, I only get a white 2x1 location box when I press and slide on to the home screen and that white box doesn't have any drag points...i'll live with it, Beautiful Widget is not so bad!
Maybe its the version, I lost my two favourite stock wallpapers during the upgrade from odd to ke7

I'm running .211 on a razr and when I press a quick contact on the homescreen it comes up with the text messaging app in the background instead of just the homescreen also after I make a call and hangup it goes to txt app instead of the homescreen I have to press home after I hangup. Is that happening to anyone else? It seams really weird like after i hangup a call i have to press the home button again to get back to homescreen.
Bump...anyone else have this happen with a contact shortcut on there desktop?
It could happen if you are using a launcher app and have not set a default launcher.
Just a thought...
You could try using back and backing out of the messaging app and then do the routine again and see if that works.

Ya it doesn't start doing it until you start the txt app for instance if i reboot the phone and don't open the text app it doesn't do it until the text app has opened but this just doesn't seam right im just trying to see if this is how ICS is or if i need to wipe and start fresh.
Does anyone else have this happen on there phones?

It happens using the default launcher and using apex set to default im just trying to see if this is normal behavior for ICS .211.
Can someone try to put a contact shortcut on one of there homescreens and test this out for me? When you press the shortcut does the TXT app open up in the background and then when you make a call and hangup from the quick contact does it just go home or does it go back to txt app then you have to press home again to get to homescreen.
I just want to figure out if this is normal or somethings wacky on my phone.
Is this a bug? I can's see this as being normal as it is very annoying...
I am wondering, on this phone when you have no icons on your desktop it displays a "Tap + to customize this screen" message that wont go away. Is there any way to remove this message or just overlay something that is transparent so that I just have a clean desktop? Would prefer not to root.
Its just an icon. Long press on it and drag it the x

I have tried that and it doesn't pick it up, it opens up the customize screen just as if you hit the plus in the right corner.
This is how the stock home app is. Only way to get rid of it is to put a widget (even a transparent widget) or to modify the apk. I recommend you just use a third party launcher. The stock home one is crap anyway.
Nova launcher works well
