I pressed into the homescreen:
ADD/launcher actions/open/close APP drawer
and it "installed" a shortcut in my home screen that I can't remove.
I'm using the default ADWLauncher from the CM rom.
Can you guys help me out?
Heh. CM7
press and hold it, can move it up towards the trash or down, where ever the trash is on that old stuff
Its not longpress option activated with the launcher... so I can't do it that easily

It'll be the same as moving app shortcuts around your homescreens.
Longpress on shortcut WILL allow movement/editing/removing. If not then wipe your phone and reinstall it cuz somethings broke.
but I'd do that anyway and get on ICS atleast

Is there no chance that I can enable that longpress option in the launcher so I can do what it supposed to be doing?

Anyone have the solution to completely removing the dock bar for GoLauncher Ex? Im able to hide it but that space is unusable by widgets therefore making it impossible to center widgets.
i've been trying the same thing and i think we have to wait for new golauncher ex release with tablet optimizations

I'm in the same boat, can't figure it out. It's kinda odd with all the options it has there is none for removing it or moving it around.

GO Launcher Dock Orientation
Hi,
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an option to move the dock from the vertical to horizonal position. But I do have a somewhat fix for.
Hold your finger down on the app drawer icon and drag it to the home screen to create basically a shortcut
Open the GO Launcher 'Preferences'
Go to 'Gesture Settings'
Open 'Glide down action'
Choose 'GO Launcher shortcut'
Choose 'Show/Hide dock bar'
Go back to the Home screen and slide your finger down to hide the dock
You can still access your app draw using the shortcut you created.
I've downloaded the Honeycomb GO Launcher theme so the icon has the same look as Honeycomb's default icon for the app drawer. I've also Held my finger down on the shortcut to the app drawer and clicked rename and removed the text "Appdrawer' and left it blank.
I hope this helps some people.

It always helps to mention what ROM you're using. ADW, which is the stock launcher for cm7, does have a lock option. Press the menu button and then More.

Lost my lock screen shortcuts and can't get them back. Box is checked in "personalize" settings. Any ideas?

Try changing an icon in your dock.

Are you completely stock, or have you changed ROMs/kernals/themes?

Hmmm. Here's what I would try next, just for the hell of it: remove all of your icons from your dock and from your main home screen. Change your wallpaper to something else stock. Reboot. Put one normal, everyday (like the phone dialer or people, etc) icon/shortcut - not a widget - in your dock. Reboot. Check lockscreen. See your shortcut?
HTH!
Try going to personalize under settings and go to lock screen. There should be options for different lock screen options.

What did you install before this happened? You said you are stock, but are you rooted? Delete anything? This wouldn't just disappear without either clicking that setting off, or deleting something you shouldn't have.
I know you said stock... but did you install a different launch.. ie Nova, Apex... etc. and stop/freeze sense. When i did that i lost the lockscreen apps. Kinda sucks but sense needs to be running to have those, regardless of using it or not.... Good luck

You're right man, switched to sense and they came back. Thanks, just have to decide if it's worth it now, really like nova. Thanks a million.

Lockscreen shortcuts are the icons in the sense dock. Even if you are running nova it will pull them from the sense dock.

Yeah keep nova installed and just make sure sense is running... A little waste of memory, but with 2gb you'll never notice.

The only thing that sucks is that too change the shortcuts i have to enable sense to change them. Then switch back to nova.

With this you can remove Rosie and still have the shortcuts I think.

Don't disable Sense. As far as enabling it to change the dock, just go into Nova settings and use the "Default launcher" button towards the bottom. Go to Sense, "Just Once" and set your dock. Hit the Home button and click Nova, "Always". Done.
same prob with htc one

I think you're in the wrong forum, the Droid DNA doesn't have an ARHD rom.

Its not that you have to be rooted to use the menu button. Its just that the sense launcher i.e. Rosie.apk, doesn't have the menu button unlocked on stock. Really no need for it. So you have to edit the apk to use it on home screen.

I've done a bunch of searching but haven't found an answer yet. Is there a way to remap the recent apps button to be a menu button? And long press for recent apps? I am stock, s-off, rooted, if that matters. Thanks!
Settings, display gestures buttons, recent apps. You can change it there

It is a recent apps button, not a menu button.
Op, mist roms allow you to change it, but you can't on stock.

Just get a new launcher from Market.
Its easier (and more safe) than mucking around with the stock one.
I know Holo Launcher Pro (HD as widgets, also my all-time favorite launcher for some reason) has the ability to rename drawer tabs, and load either most recent, most frequent, widgets, and custom list in them.
I am sure that there are other launchers that do the same.
If you want to change anything in the stock launcher, you must have root privleges.
Use at your own risk. Havent ever modded a launcher before, only other apps.
Copy the apk to another location (and make a backup if anything goes wrong).
Change the extension to .zip
Explore the zip, and modify anything that looks safe to change.
If you are brave enough, rename the extension to .apk again, and place it back in the "system/app" directory.
Reboot the phone if nessisary.
Use at your own risk.
Please thank me if you found this useful.

Many roms now support this feature and there is also a mod that when you flash it, it will enable this feature.
