Sorry to be such a noob after all these years, but there is this tab thingy on the home screen with a few app shortcuts in it that just is in the way. I can figure out how get the shortcuts removed, and how to move the tab to different sides of the screen, but how do I just get rid of it? I don't know what its called or I would search for an answer, and I don't see any mention of it in the manual. I just want to nuke it. How?
Long press the back key, lower right soft key.
It's for your multi Window apps.
You have been thanked! :victory:
This only removes the tab, if you aren't going to use multi-Window the pull down the notification and swipe left to scroll the toggles and disable multi-Window.

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.

TouchWiz adds a quick launch button at the bottom middle of the screen that pops up six app icons. Is it possible to change which apps pop up?
Thanks.
Nope. Buried in the framework... Someone theming or making a custom ROM may be able to, but out of the box, no
how can i delete quick launch?
or move it to the top of the screen?
it often steals space key from on-screen keyboards.
moreover, i removed binded apps and now quicklaunch hangs

Hi, I would like to know how I can toggle Recent App of ICS. It can be shown by long clicking on the home button. The one that has preview because I don't like to be pressing so much my home button as I am noticing improper responses from it. Is there a way to put this as an icon or widget on the homescreen? Thx
Anyone? Tried apps like button savior, etc. But it shows their built-in recent apps instead of the firmware's or samsung's.
BUMP
I know this post is old, but Im trying to figure a way too without using an app or service BUMP\
I found what I was looking for in app LMT using the "invisible swipe gestures" set to top center of screen so that swiping top left is notifications, top right is quick settings, and top center opens recents. This is for anyone who might be searching and happen to land on this dead thread. Any other particular method of shortcut will work if you set it to Activities>SystemUI>Overview.recents is the path to this.

I use GMD Gestures, because my sensitive buttons aren't working. Before, I used CM official inbuilt option that you can change the option sensitive (or back) button for recent Apps. Can really recommend that. Greetings.
Is there a way to set up shortcuts to link to different home screens?
Say, for example, that I have music widgets on my last home screen. Rather than swiping through all the screens, or previewing them and choosing, is there a way to create a shortcut on my main home screen that I can press to have it jump directly to the screen with the music widgets?
Yes, download adw launcher,when installed, long press home screen, choose option to add 5 shortcuts to five screens.i know only these way.or maybee to modify some codes and transform the home screen dot indicators in button links.

Unfortunately, ADW doesn't allow me to do other things that are essential, so I guess I'll just have to forget about the luxury of linking to other screens. Unless you know how to get the dock horizontal in the latest version and get rid of that menu button in the top corner...
i have not tried it yet but i will be trying it out soon.
just thought with AOSP rom hitting our forum and loosing a lot of spen functions this would come in handy.

i will report back after i play with it a bit.
i take no credit in finding this app. a fellow member (guthrien) turned me on to it. THANKS
I have this app and love it. Even on tw ROMs I like it cause I have a bunch of gestures set up. No more gesture to get a box to gesture bs. It also has 5 launch pads, one center and one from each edge of the screen. Got my bottom launchpad set up like I had my nav bar set on my galaxy nexus. It does still have some conflicting issues with default s pen functions, like the default swipe from edge of screen to switch to next app makes it take a screenshot to draw on, but I solved that by turning them off and creating my own gesture to switch app. The dev is always quick to respond and says he is working on solving the conflicting issues but i use his guesture app for my tablet and have have a few conversations with him and was helpful.I highly recommend the app..

The box he is referring to is when you hold button on spen and draw a line straight up. A quick comand box pops up. There is only a few gestures anyway witch is why you need this app. You can set a gesture for anything
