If you're using JIT, you should remove JIT, flash launcher, then reinstall JIT. That's not my launcher fault, is the Jit behaviour messing dalvik-cache...

Ok, time to edit the introduction stuff :)

This thing is being done completely as a "learning/having some fun" project, and is my FIRST "javandroid" thing so may contain a lot of bugs, may crash your fridge, may overheat your microwave, and so on.

ATM i have no "team collab" on this, i'm doing the most out of myself, and "myself" is a very limited person, so don't expect miracles :)

If someone wanna help, please tweet me!

Also if anyone wants to donate me to buying ice-creams for my son, do it here

Here are some screenshots :)

There are 2 main "branches" of this mod:

the 0.6.x branch is (and always will be) for Android 1.6 donut ONLY.

the 0.7x branch is for Android 2.1 eclair and will grow up.

At the moment the Eclair branch is considered EXPERIMENTAL/UNSTABLE and is not a *proper* port, neither has the right support for different screen sizes/resolutions, so use at your own risk

Installation method:

Put the ADW.Launcher.zip into the root of your sdcard.

Boot into recovery.

NANDROID (just be cautious :) )

Flash the file.

Changelog, Downloads & usage instructions/information

Check them here

NOTICE

Some settings will force launcher to shutdown itself after aplying, so if your launcher shuts off on settings exit, you should "relaunch" it pressing your home phisical button.

Theme-related things

This thing is not "themed", it uses default highlight colours, etc, so if you're using a themed launcher or a themed rom, it will overwrite it and you'll loose those changes.

Solutions:

Ask your themer/rom dev to change this launcher images.

Try using metamorphs out there to change it yourself

Metamorphs

Download Android 2.2 "Froyo" metamorph for ADW.Launcher here thanks to @bakageta

eessel has done very cool metamorphs here!

@Cloverdale_ is making really cool metamorphs, including my launcher

Check mr_deimos awesome "Elegance style" metamorph for it!

Check MINUS Stl metamorph here, matching my ADW.one theme ;)

NOTE "Githubbed", hope is everything allright... my first time using source control systems...

Nice Work!

Try to flash, flash ok, reboot ok, ... don't work...... :(

A lot of FC.....

Restore nandroid.... ok.

I'll wait the next release.....

Bye

[G1 Android Development] giovannirm:
wow!!!! perfect! No FC with black super D 1.9.3! thanks thanks thanks:):):)
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
How many screens do you have in your actual setup?

I've heard having more than 5 makes the fc party when flashing things like this.
[G1 Android Development] idkidk:
7 screen, i'm using adv launcher from Binary theme, if this is the problem i'll wait the next release.....

Tia

Idk
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Ok, then you have 2 options:

1-remove 2 screens on your adv.launcher, then flash :)

2-wait till i can merge this onto adv.launcher if i ever can :)

gl!
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Try clearing the data for the Launcher (home) and try again.

I'm going to look into this.
[G1 Android Development] idkidk:
Thanks!!!

7 screen for me, is important, i'll wait the next release!

good work!

[G1 Android Development] Mr. Frost:
This with adv. Launcher features would be really awesome! I like to hide apps or to creat folders...
[G1 Android Development] tbgreen:
Thanks! It works brilliantly! :)

Damn, that would be freaking awesome!

but i doubt i have the skillz to make something like it!

Anyone wants to collab on this?

any chance of this working with 1.5?

e.g. a hero rom?
[G1 Android Development] brettf:
Looks great... just one question: Does the Launcher have the SubMenu/Folder Feature such as advancedlauncher?
[G1 Android Development] PanPiotr:
Hi M8!

This is my absolutely favorite Launcher from now :)

I just got one request, can you add option to select screen when i hit home button?

I don't need folders in drawer, but would be nice to hide some apps ;)
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
Thanks, I decide reflashing my phone, now I'm using Official ADP DCR83, I will test this Launcher and report later
[G1 Android Development] s0mep00p:
So the adb/terminal methods do work now with the new versions with personal theming. This is one of the best launchers ever, I hope you continue to do this awesome work!

Thank you for all your hard work
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Please, read a bit earlier in the thread... don't use that method! it will screw up your things :)

I use that method to test it on the emulator... but better not use on the phone!

Sorry if my first posts didn't advice it! :)

The search widget inside mu launcher mod is exactly the same one contained in standard donut launcher, i've not modified it at all... and as i dev starting atfrom standard aosp source...

Mmm... i haven't tried myself... maybe i could try to checkout cupcake and try it to build... :)

@everyone:

yesterday i was playing with adv.launcher (without modifying) but seemed to me that changing some things like #columns in preferences got me to crash... don't know if i could merge my code into it, but i'll try soon... just don't wanna make my code too complex before i learn howto manage it with git... i hate having dozens of folders with copys of my code in different states!
[G1 Android Development] Neejay:
Ugh, I really want 0.4, but I guess I'll have to wait until htcclay themes it. :(

AnderWeb - do you know if htcclay has plans on theming your 0.4?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Don't know, sorry... ask him on his twitter...

btw, you could make yourself a metamorph of his latest themed version and apply to my lattest one, but remember including only the images on that, you shouldn't have probs if you do it that way :)
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Haven't gotten a chance to flash any of the newer versions, so when you say animation on opening previews, what do you mean? Also, mark me down as one would take a 7 screen launcher. I'd really be set then.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Just that, the previews pop up from bottom with a boing :P

I know about 7screens, please be all patient...

Everytime i try to flash any of the zips in the o.p. I get a fc party.

I have a mytouch, cyan latest. Am I missing something here?
[G1 Android Development] ownjoouk:
Jat a guess, do you have jit enabled? if you do, you need to goto the jit thread and follow the instructions on page 33 to clear your dalvik. it's a known issue with jit.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
If you had only "a mytouch, cyan latest" the thing should work... but if you installed mods, themes, hacks, etc... noone could ever guess what your problem is till you explain exactly everything :)
[G1 Android Development] idkidk:
Amazing work, any possibility to have "7 screens/?columns drawer".... :confused:

[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
People, stop asking for 7 screens. The guy's working on it.

AnderWeb, you may want to edit the OP to say that this will NOT work on TheOfficial TMO Roms (only AOSP, unless someone reported ADP working), and that you're looking into adding 7 screens for a future release.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Thanks, i'll just quote you on the OP :)
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Ha! That works, too. ;)

WELL DONE SIR!
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
If your having trouble getting back to adw you may need to go to settings/ applications/ manage applications

And find your default home app ( I think default is called "home"

Then just clear default.

Next time you hit the home button it should ask you which launcher to use, then you can just choose adw from the list :)
[G1 Android Development] sufu009:
Worked like a charm. Thanks Alot haha!
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
No problem I had the same problem with dxtop originally lol

Took me awhile to figure out.

Cyanogen Wallpapers for the Paperless Theme

(I posted this on the cyanogen thread, but for those of you using cyanogenmod I thought I'd post it here for you as well.)

For those of you using the "Paperless" theme on ADW Launcher 1.0.0 I've converted some of the cyanogen wallpapers into paper sketches.

all credit goes to the original artists.
[G1 Android Development] jairomeo:
Pretty sick, :)

I did a wallpaper, but not with the pencil style. Is that a filter you have to give the penciling?
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
I like the colors on yours :)

Yeah some photo editors have a filter for it.

You can also search Google, some websites will do it for you.

Then just create another layer with crumpled paper texture, and adjust transparency :)
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Thanks for the extra wallpapers. I'm really loving this theming thing. I keep swap among them all and bought the donate ones.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Yeah it is pretty cool :)

ADW Launcher just gets better and better.
[G1 Android Development] jairomeo:
Ill have to look for it cuz I know I dont have that filter in CS5. I have the textures for the paper. I just like what you did to my original wallpapers and want to try it out on some of the ones Ive made since those were put in.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Try this site:

http://www.dumpr.net/sketch.php

It lets you upload a picture, then converts it to sketch form for you.

You don't have much controll, but it works pretty well on most pics.

It only outputs lower Rez for free, but that should be all you'll need.

Then you can finish up in whatever photo editor you like. :)

I'm on n1 kang o rama Beta 2....and whenever I flick up the app drawer...i can't make it back and I had to set up a gesture...it really bothers me it'd be great if this was fixable.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
That's the dockbar.

if you don't (know to) use it, just disable it.
[G1 Android Development] Arkain2K:
Nicely done Sir! Nicely done!
[G1 Android Development] twilk73:
It would be cool if we could have custom dock bars. If we could creat our own images and then use them as the dock bar background, that would be great. How do we get the ball rolling on this idea it seems rather simple when compaired to some of the other ideas and some of the amazing features already in this launcher.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
I realize your probably talking about a feature you'd like on the phone itself for changing only the dock bar, but if it helps, he's already given us the ability to use themes which you can even make yourself now in version 1.0.1 :)

if you want to make your own go here:

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/

its not terribly complicated, but its not really going to be easy for absolute beginners either.

or you can find some ready made ones on the market, but they change a lot more than just the dock bar.
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
ADW Launcher continues to forget settings :(

There needs to be a help dialog with all these settings lol

Alternately disable that drag up bar by default.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Forget settings? Describe.

As for a help dialogue, feel free to fork Ander's main branch and code it. Same for the dockbar. :P
[G1 Android Development] JokerAce:
Sincerely thank you!
[G1 Android Development] psychoace:
Hey, do you think it would be that hard to add a pivot or pinch to rotate for the main home screen? I hate the accelerometer and hopefully if a home app could get it to work maybe actual apps would allow it to work to. I think some of us are annoyed with having to shake our phone to get it to the right position. Even if it's not a cool live rotation I would still be happy with the screen doing it's normal rotation animation without the need for an accelerometer.
[G1 Android Development] xguntherc:
on my dockbar.. how can I make the icon's bigger?

I have the phone and broswer main 2 larger, but I want the others larger when i pull up the dockbar
[G1 Android Development] NetrixTardis:
wallpapers?

I installed the updated .zip via recovery onto CM-5.0.8, however, since playing with themes (and going back to default theme), I am unable locate the default cm-5.0.8 wallpapers.

I am only able to select the 1 default ADW blue wallpaper.

Is the launcher only able to select wallpapers it's shipped with? or did i mess something up.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It's because only the one included with the rom will have the wallpapers, the update.zip is the same as the Market version except it is specifically made to replace the standard launcher.
[G1 Android Development] NetrixTardis:
so, when i flashed the zip from recovery, I wiped the wallpapers that were installed with cm-5.0.8?

I guess i can simply redownload them then.

thanks,
[G1 Android Development] ericFuels999:
I had a similar problem, and just ended up redownloading them.

Just wondering if anyone is planning on making a Hello Kitty theme for ADW? I'm trying to get my old lady on board w/ ADW. I had her try Live Home, which was cool. It allowed some nice features - change app drawer icons and applying Open Home, GDE, etc. themes. But it started to cause her phone to crash, which is not good, esp. since her phone's not rooted.

But I digress, so sorry if this is in the wrong spot. And ADW rocks everything. Can't wait for the ADW - DarkEdge theme!!!!
[G1 Android Development] unk2009:
How do I configure my ADW launcher(I'm using Chromatic 4.2) to show the five mini screens on my phone(I had it with an earlier version, all I had to do was push the home button to get them to pop up) Thanks

Go into ADW settings and select the Preview settings and choose sense!

in adw launcher clean rom... when i have the second dockbar WHY I CANT CHANGE BACKROUND always with this white **** background is it possible to change here ? like the first dockbar u can make it clear in back and not like the ugly grey froyo style...
[G1 Android Development] thephoenixrising:
Hi, small noob question

After installing adwlauncher and choosing adw.buuf.theme on my unrooted x10 mini pro (1.6) it changes some of the app icons like gmail, browser, goggles, facebook. But most of them stay unchanged (messages, contacts,...).

How do i get them to look like in the pic in the market?

(ps: i have 'use theme icons' selected in themes preferences)

thx!

edit: found it!
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
second dock-bar??

are you talking about the normal android task-bar at the top of the screen?

what do you mean by ADW launcher clean rom?

I searched and cant find a rom by that name?
[G1 Android Development] MotoMudder77:
1. there is no " ADWLauncher clean ROM"

2. there is only 1 dockbar, that you must slide the app drawer button up to get to

If your reffering to the action buttons next to the app drawer button, its in the settings, under Hide AB, app drawer background.
[G1 Android Development] DroidGnome:
Suggestion/bug site?

I was wondering if there is an official Suggestion/bug site for ADW or if this 200+ page thread is the best place to find out what's going on for future versions of ADW.

I used to use ADW exclusively, but recently purchased Launcher Pro to try out two of it's new features and I have to say I'm tempted to redo my customizations for that launcher instead.

I love most of the things about ADW, but the one main feature I'm wondering if there are any plans to incorporate is:

Swipeable Dock actions. In LP, you can set a dock icon to have an optional 'swipe up' action itself. For example, my Phone Icon when clicked lauches my Dialer, but when swiped UP it launches my Contacts app. The swipe option can be set to any shortcut, application, show screen preview, open app drawer, notifications or status bar.. or of course do nothing.

I find that I can use HALF the number of icons and retain a nice clean look on my dockbar.
[G1 Android Development] jona29:
does any one know how to resize an icon that has previously be resized ?

ive deleted the icon ,then re-added it to the home screen but it never asks a second how many rows and coloumns
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It only does this for widgets, doesn't it?
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
As far as I know, unless he stumbled upon one hell of a cool ass bug!
[G1 Android Development] adwinp:
I'd very much like to see ADW catch up with LauncherPro regarding widget inclusion (both calendar and messaging are quite desireable).

Fede could always commit to the AnderWeb repo on github.

I guess he should be sharing the source, since his work is ultimately based on a GPL licensed product.

Just sharing my thoughts.

[G1 Android Development] Maxxd01:
Anyone can explain me how can we change dockbar like the image?
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
like which image?
[G1 Android Development] Maxxd01:
screenshots from first page.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Do you mean the pull up dock bar or the shirtcuts next to the apps button?
[G1 Android Development] motoman234:
This may or may not have anything to do with it but where did you get the .zip you flashed?
[G1 Android Development] Maxxd01:
I mean customizing the bottom bar.

For example: I have ADW themeone theme installed:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.adw.theme.one

The second screenshot, has 5 favorite buttons on the bottom. but in my case, I have the same 3 button dock (the same as the first screenshot).

how can we put it the way of second screenshot?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
That's the pull-up dock. To access it make sure that the dockbar is checked in ADWSettings > UI Settings. Then, to access it pull the app button up, this should make the bottom bar dissappear and be replaced with some other image. You can then drop apps into this infinitely scrolling dock.

You can also have 4 shortcuts next to the app button if you would like this as well, to do this turn off the desktop dots in ADWSettings > UI Settings and turn on Secondary Action Buttons on the same screen.
[G1 Android Development] Maxxd01:
Okay now I understook, thanks for helping :)

However, I have a bug with ADW launcher (a bug I always had with adw launcher, with many official and cooked 2.1 roms on samsung spica): if I press app buttons up, regular app menu his shown - so nothing is changed. If I swype up, a bug happens: I get a strange green-blue bottom bar, and I have to reboot my phone to access the menu.

Strange, very strange. So no pull dock nor swype up :(

Widgets not drawn in same grid as icons

I didn't see any posts about an issue I've been seeing (though I might have missed them) that is related to the way widgets are drawn. They are not drawn in the same grid that the icons are.

I have been using a 5x5 grid with icon labels, and the problem is tolerable there, but I was previously using a 5x7 with no icon labels, and the widgets were being drawn outside the top edge of their grid space. The icons

See the attached screenshot for a clearer perspective on what I am talking about, I used a theme that keeps the boxes around the icons to better illustrate the issue. The shortcut icons are all getting drawn just perfectly in the proper grid, but the widgets (in this case 1x1 DaysUntil) aren't in that grid.
[G1 Android Development] quixotiCfluX:
Anyone seen this issue before or know if it there is anything which can be done to mitigate it?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Have you tried the auto-stretch option? It /should/ fix the issue.
[G1 Android Development] quixotiCfluX:
Actually that screenshot is with the stretch enabled.

When I compare the results with and without stretch I see the two screens attached.

Without stretch, things are overlapping as one would expect with a 5x7 grid and standard sized widgets

With stretch, the icons fall neatly into the grid, but the widgets are drawn from a completely different starting position. The widgets start flush with the top edge of the screen, whereas the icons start with a pad at the top. If the widgets had the same pad applied, they would line up perfectly with the autostretched icon grid.

If the widgets were shifted down about 13 pixels instead of being flush with the top (same amount of padding that the stretched icons have at top) then everything would line up perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] juliusedward:
can the app and shortcuts bakground be changed like in LP?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Yes they can, but not in the same manner as LPro.

You can do it through use of themes, but there is no option to do it yourself from the launcher.
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
Do you continue to update it, anderwebs? It was loong from last (great though) update and there are still things that would be great to see in ADW Launcher.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Yes, he's been updating, just hasn't released anything yet.
[G1 Android Development] athakur999:
I don't quite understand your post. It sounds like if you press the the app app drawer button (the button with a 4x4 grid), it pulls up the app drawer, but if you swipe up on it it disappears and the you get a weird bar at the bottom, right?

If so, this is the normal "dock bar" functionality. If you "swipe down" on the bottom of the screen, does it return to normal? You can get rid of the dock bar by going to ADW Settings, then UI Settings, and then uncheck the box next to Dockbar.

I'm not a huge fan of this feature myself but at least it can be disabled! Its the first thing I do whenever I install this launcher.
