I have the ICS AKOP which has the nova launcher
I wanted to change the shortcuts on the dock. So, i clicked remove after long press.
Now i am not able to add shortcuts and i removed all of the existing ones.
Anyone know how to add new? Long press does nothing.
Like the other launchers, long press an item in the menu and you can drop it on the home screen. Then you can drag to the dock.

thanks.. that did the trick. i am used to launcherpro in which one had to long press on the dock itself to change shortcuts
I installed yesterday the AOKP m6 and i saw for the first time this Launcher. I must say it's really fast and the scroll is pretty flowing. Till now i haven't some fc.

How to arrange icons on the OS, where i had installed apps the uninstalled them i have like 3-4 pages with like 5-6 icons to a page. With a different Launcher its auto sorts icons. Anything we can do to fix this i cant come across any other method than manually sorting them page after page.?!
Thanks, Xenon.

Do you mean on your home screens? Just long press on any icon, hold and drag into position.
Not sure if any launcher does auto-arranging on the home screen, does not seem to be possible with stock or ADW at least.
In the app drawer you're totally right. It irritated me to.
At the moment it seems the only way is to manually sort them [Menu>Edit]
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.
I'd been a big fan of ADW Launcher EX for a long time.
It seems the development has died unfortunately though.
My favorite feature was the ability to quickly switch between 2 dockbars. One had the standard 4 + app drawer button, and the other was a scrollable dock which effectively could contain many more.
This was great for phones (not really needed in tablets) where I needed 6-8 quick access apps.
The very last versions of ADW completely removed this feature, inexplicably. I'm running the version that last had this feature, which runs okay, but was hoping for more ICS features.
I cannot find any currently maintained Launcher that also has this feature (Apex and Nova Launchers don't to my knowledge). Many/most have scrollable dockbars, but no quick-switch alternate ones.
Anyone know of any?
I know Zeam Launcher (free from the market) has scrollable dock, but not sure what you mean with alternating docks.
Zeam's a known entity. Nice and quick. But no alternate dockbar.
The dockbars can be switched with a button press, or gesture. I linked mine to home. Press home while in launcher-->5 other apps pop up as a dockbar. Press home again-->back to the original 4+app drawer button. Repeat.
Ah,never knew this was in the old ADW Launcher! I use CircleLauncher to popup more apps from my home. But can't use hardware button.

I tried out TSF shell briefly, still needs some development but was a nice change from the norm
Has all apps on the main home screen with some great looking scrolling animations
Coming from stock jelly bean on my Nexus I miss being able to go straight to Google Now with a swipe... if there was a way to add an additional icon to the lock screen for this purpose that would be awesome. Any ideas?
Put the Google Now (Google) shortcut in your dock. Not entirely the same, but works with a swipe
Thanks! This is my first sense phone, didn't realize whatever you put in there also showed up on the lock screen. Duh :silly:
Honestly, I think I will be adding a shortcut myself. I kind of miss my Gnex swipe up.
This is what I do that has worked well for me. I use Nova Launcher to bring me back to more of a nexus look. Because I do this, I set my camera and google icons on the dock of my sense launcher and those two icons show up on my lockscreen, and this way I also don't waste dock space on Nova launcher. Works like a charm.
Here are my home and lock screen to show what I am talking about
Holding the home button for a second opens Google Now... its not the same as swiping from lock screen but it works

This does not work from the lock screen though.

I agree, although I added two activities to the list. With Nova you can drop activities to directly access features of apps without opening them fully.
I use one activity from Handcent called quick compose. It opens a tiny window with a "to" field and a "message" field. Very handy. Also I use the toggle feature of TeslaLED to give me quick access to a flashlight.
Then using Nova I can have 6 completely different apps on my dock plus app drawer.
And today was payday so that rocks.

There is also Holo Lock for anyone who wants the stock JB lock screen, although it does not work perfectly...
I use apex launcher, much the same as nova. I have a Google search in my sense dock, so it shows up on my lockscreen.
It doesn't show up on my dock in apex. I set a gesture in apex, however, that store up items Google search. Makes it almost the same ad my galaxy nexus
