Hi,

Today my ADW Launcher has started behaving very strange!

For some reason all of the items on my screens sit about 5 to 10 pixels off center to the right!! It is very noticeable when it happens. It has literally just started today and I don't know why.

Scrolling between screens doesn't fix it, nor does previewing all the screens and then selecting one to zoom in on.

What does fix it though, temporarily, is relaunching ADW, for example going to settings and changing the number of home screens. Once changed from say 5 to 6 I come out and all is fine. I then go back into settings and change the number back from 6 to 5 and the screens are fine again. But for some reason after an hour or so I'll look at my phone and the screen alignment has shifted again.

Very strange and really annoying. Could this be investigated?

Cheers

ADW 1.1.0 released

AnderWeb released ADW Launcher Version 1.1.0, found on AnderWebHP

sorry i can´t link to it

but here is a little Changelog:
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Can't wait till the flashable system versions show up. This release sounds crazy!!
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Yeah hopefully, but I'm getting a little sick of the whole flashable zip thing. I was using the flashable version of Superuser until Chain released the Market version. That way updates are immediate and more convenient. I might switch to the Market version of ADW soon.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I dig and feel where you are coming from. For this though, I kind of don't mind because of it totally replacing the system launcher and thus saving you memory. I was already experiencing crazy reloading (before I started using Swap) and that was with just one launcher established as system. Having 2 launchers taking up memory always concerns me on my memory limited G1 so that's why I'm hesitant to just grab the market version. Well that and the fact that the marketplace seems to be down! :D

Quick question in regards to SuperUser: Thinking about what you said, I may in fact do the same. Do I just uninstall my current superuser, then go the market and download the latest, and then re-enable root access to the apps that need it? Is that it?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That's pretty much it. I uninstalled the version that came with the ROM using Root Explorer, downloaded and installed the Market version, and then ran all my root apps to re-allow them SU access.

And yeah it looks like the Market just took a dump. I just upgraded an app successfully, but search isn't working and sorting of apps in each category is all wrong. #fail
[G1 Android Development] mario999:
Hi,

does anyone know the adb commands I need to use to remove my old ADW and replace it with the current one?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
No I don't, but you can easily do the same thing with a root file explorer.
[G1 Android Development] mario999:
Will Root Explorer allow me to erase ADW, its actually part of the ROM (Chromatic 4.4) as opposed to the one thats on Android market... if that makes any sense.
[G1 Android Development] koreancanuck:
Yep. Download the newest launcher from the market, then go into /system/app and long press on ADW.launcher.apk and delete it. Also, you need to switch to mount r/w on the top right hand corner in order to delete it.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
If it's part of the ROM then I assume it's installed as a system app, meaning you can go into /system/app and delete the APK.
[G1 Android Development] mario999:
Thanks for the info. ADW now updated and old version removed.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Thanks for the tip, now just have to get around to actually doing it. Have so man things going on the past and future couple of days.

So are you still on the previous ADW waiting for a zip or have you gotten the latest version up and running yet? I can find flashable zips of the donut version within like a hour of Anders posting the apk, but I can't seem to find an eclair zip anywhere.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I just download the system version APK's for CM5 that Ander has posted here. Then install it using Root Explorer.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
How do you do that, just copy and paste it over top using RE?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Yeah, I copy the file to /system/app. Then click the file and hit install. Simple as that!
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
So does it automatically overwrite my currently installed apk after pasting, or do I remove it first and then paste in the 1.1.3 apk? either way, you say to click the file in Root Explorer once it's been placed and it should bring up the normal installation screen. Sounds pretty straight forward, but I worry that with only the one home launcher, will removing the apk FUBAR my whole phone, or am I incorrect in my thoughts. Sorry for all the questions, just never used this method and don't want to screw anything up.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It won't FUBAR your phone, I do it all the time when upgrading ADW (Just don't go to the home screen while doing it because, well, it won't exist. Nothing bad happens though).
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Like JAguirre said, it won't fudge anything up.

I'll make a step-by-step:

- copy 1.1.3 APK to /system/app

- delete any existing launcher-related APK in that folder

- click the 1.1.3 APK and hit install

- exit back to home screen
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I don't think you even need to install it. I push it via adb, give it a few seconds and it is ready to go all by itself.
[G1 Android Development] Arkain2K:
Well yeah, if you use the adb push method, then it's already "pushed" into the system :D

There's absolutely no good reason why anyone should wait days or week for flashable zip. Just follow the step-by-step Root Explorer installation guide posted by TeeJay up there, or use the adb push method that has been posted many, MANY times in previous pages.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Or if you prefer to use the terminal emulator (or don't have an SU File Manager for some reason):

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm ADWLauncher.apk

mv /data/app/org.adw.launcher.apk /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Thank you all for the advice, tips, and confirmation. Now to just find the time to do it! Been swamped with so much other crap, my phone's getting neglected. Come on here to get my android fix when I "should" be doing other work. Learn priorities: screw a job, play with you phone! :D

Edit: Well damn, that was easy! I feel like a jackass for waiting on the flashable zips all this time. Thanks again for the help y'all.
[G1 Android Development] blackvyper:
Here is the ADW 1.1.4 System version. I pulled it from Cyanogen's 6.0.0 :D If I knew how to make a flashable version then you would have it the same day Ander released it, but I don't.. schade.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
What's changed in this version?
[G1 Android Development] tinpanalley:
MyTouch 3G Slide and Clocks

Is there any reason why I can't access the Stock clocks using ADW on the Mytouch 3G Slide? There's one in particular I want to use.

How do I contact the developers of ADW?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It's because it's a Sense widget. Sense Widgets only work with HTC's home screen. There's (as of now, possibly forever) no way around this.
[G1 Android Development] tinpanalley:
Any recommendations on a clock anywhere online that does the same thing of being analog and providing the date in a simple classic style? Or where I can look for one? I don't like what's offered in the Marketplace.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Hmmm, which clock are you speaking of? Sense has a few different of clocks...
[G1 Android Development] tinpanalley:
The one that is part of the stock clocks that turns from black to white for night and day and also has the date inside.
[G1 Android Development] NetrixTardis:
1.1.4??? on anderweb's site only 1.1.3 is showing as released.

is this release only on CM6?
[G1 Android Development] blackvyper:
Yeah, I noticed that too when I looked at Ander's page on JBThemes but I pulled this DIRECTLY from Cyanogen's 6.0.0 and the version number in the new launcher confirms it's 1.1.4.. maybe he released it to Cyanogen first. In any case I noticed a few new things in the settings.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
1.1.4 is released in market and into cm6.

T nohere's blog post about it cause I'm a lazy dev, sorry.

Anyways there are just minor fixes (and added bugs) so I won't write a blog post until 1.1.5.
[G1 Android Development] blackvyper:
Thanks Ander! I love this launcher! Waiting. for 1. 1. 5 now.
[G1 Android Development] legend221:
AnderWeb you are an amazing man. I am putting your MOD out there as a Captivate thread as well. Hopeful that way we can get some more Ice Cream for your son ;)

Wish you the very best old friend and thanks once again. I apologize if you wouldn't want your work on any other thread but this one. Please let me know if having a thread specifically in the Samsung Captivate section is not okay by you.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
No problem, spread the word :)

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Am I missing something... or is the screen count option not in the version packed with CM6?
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
he completely changed they way to add/move screens.

When on your home screen push menu. Select edit (?) can't remember off hand.

Enjoy the new goodness.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Thanks! I'll give it another look later... I BART'd back to CE for now - getting everything setup before work was taking far too long. I'll probably tackle it over the weekend.
[G1 Android Development] NetrixTardis:
any way to find the cm5 apk? i just flashed the ADWLauncher.apk from a couple pages back... i know i'm a dumbass for pushing the cm6 system apk to cm5. Had to restore a nand backup.
[G1 Android Development] legend221:
Wow there are some major know it alls in the Samsung Captivate section.

hahaha, loser troll folk that browse through xda day and night with nothing but negativity.

I miss my HTC Dream more than ever..
[G1 Android Development] MotoMudder77:
Check anderwebs site?
[G1 Android Development] f_padia:
First of all good work on ADW. I really like it. I had a thought of a new feature that would set it apart from all the other launchers though...

At the moment, pressing the home button on the home key can be set to do a few things, including show a preview of all the home screens a la HTC Sense. IMO this is not very useful as it takes just as long to swipe to the page im after.

Instead I think it would be much more useful if pressing the home key on the home page showed thumbnails of all the currently open apps. At the moment the only way to do this is long press the home button. and even then all that shows are the apps (but no thumbnails).

Im not a developer so i dont know if this is possible to implement, but in my limited knowledge of computing I dont see why it shouldnt be possible. What do you think? could this be implemented? I think it would improve the Android interface in general if it could.
[G1 Android Development] NetrixTardis:
If you had read, you would know that 1.1.4 wasn't posted on the site.
[G1 Android Development] Sciphone:
Iconpack

Please anyone, is there any iconpack for ADW(donut)??? This is 100 % perfect if I can add eclair icons for ADW.

Thanks

Missed calls number

Hi,

Just switched from iPhone to Android.

Installed ADW, which seems to be a very good launcher.

I'm missing the number of missed calls notification as displayed on the phone icon (red circle on the upper right corner) , like the iPhone does. Also number of incoming SMS & mails.

I saw that Launcher Pro can do it.

Can ADW show me that info?

Thanks.

Amir.
[G1 Android Development] mnbgibbs:
Thank You

works great on the new Samsung Captivate.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Nope, not in the current version ;)
[G1 Android Development] arctophile:
Hello, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask but have searched for solution to no avail. I'm running CM6 on my G1 and I just upgraded ADW to version 1.1.5. It's heaps faster which is great, but now for some reason I can't get transparency in the app drawer. The settings are exactly the same as before, but now it has a fully opaque bg like launcherpro, even if I slide the alpha slider on the background setting all the way to the right.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
your going the wrong way. slide to the left.
[G1 Android Development] arctophile:
You know I actually tried sliding to the left but clicked on back rather than in the middle of the circle. What an idiot. All good now thanks.
[G1 Android Development] juanfpina:
Anyway that I can make it look like the second screenshot on Super D? Great launcher btw, love it
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
You mean like the black mini-dock? Try pulling up on the app button (or, if that doesn't work go to ADWSettings > UI Settings > Dockbar > On, and try again).

[G1 Android Development] navahoo:
are the max homescreens set to 5 and no longer changeable?

there is no option in the menu available! :confused:

using cm6 with adw 115 standalone.

At the home screen, press Menu and then select Edit. ;)

Spyware?

Just saw on AndroidCentral androidcentral.com/android-quick-app-adwlauncher

"According to the authors own thread on XDA xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645550 this software has spyware built into it."

Troof?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Don't worry, that's just him taking your soul and monies.

hello guys

can I remove the handle at the bottom center of adw launcher with an icon transparent or change it with icon different?

Force English UI

Hey,

Tried searching this thread invane, sorry if I'm repeating stuff...

Is there any way to force English UI in ADW Launcher without having to

change my locale?

I just hate the UI & settings translated into my own language

but would still like my news & weather localized.

THX

So glad I found this post. I searched every single setting in the setting's window and couldn't find it...was under my nose all this time :)
[G1 Android Development] darkamikaze:
With the new option of having launcher shortcut to launch the app drawer.. i can't seem to find a way to hide the default app drawer.. ? am I just missing it or is that option coming soon :)
[G1 Android Development] :
Can you post a pic? I'm not sure I'm following what you are asking for. :)
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I don't believe it is currently planned (But check the Issue Tracker, if it doesn't exist make an issue!).
[G1 Android Development] darkamikaze:
You know lol..the default app drawer icon on my home screen :x..it opens the app drawer.. I was hoping we could hide it since we can make it a shortcut :)
[G1 Android Development] VooDoo`:
Hi,

I like ADW Launcher so much on my x10 mini. But i search for a more efficient way to categorize apps, so I installed App Mate and make it as fourth shortcut on the ADW bar.

I wish Adw could also categorize apps in this way, so I have one shortcut left for another app and I can disclaim of using a seperate app.

Here I uploaded a image to show you what I mean:

ADW 3D Beta

AnderWeb released the beta of his ADW 3D launcher!

http://dl.dropbox.com/0/view/fed398kcyhiwr85/Tmp/ADW_PublicBeta_1.apk
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
None of the themes work with it. :(

adw beta

I downloaded and installed the beta version earlier. When I hit the home button I get a an 80's music video that freezes abiout 1/2 way through. Never actually get to the homescreen. ANyone else getting this?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I do believe it's a prank. The permissions list is way too short to be a launcher.
[G1 Android Development] flyers00:
Thats what I was thinking as well. Nice way to entice everyone.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
LOL. You guys just got rickrolled. I think moot would be proud.
[G1 Android Development] daddyspud:
the link for the adw launcher is broken can u relink please thanks u very much nice work on this launcher so good cheers spud
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
This one is a couple months old, I suggest you try installing the one in the market.
[G1 Android Development] daddyspud:
where do i find it on the android market as im not having any look there??? or can i get it from 4shared.com
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Oddly hard to find in the market. If you search for "adw" just choose a theme by Anderweb (author) and then at the bottom of the page push "view more applications". Pops right up.

switching ROMs

ADW is my absolute favrotite launcher! But I have an issue, maybe someone can help me...

Every time I switch ROMs, I have to manually re-setup my homescreen, which is no small task. Even though I restore all my apps with Titanium Backup, and restore my ADW/desktop settings in ADW, all the app shortcuts appear as 'app not available'. I must manually recreate the icons, widgets, folders, etc.

Am I doing something wrong? Any way to actually flash a new ROM and have my ADW set up work as before??

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] darkamikaze:
that's android's fault.. not ADW..
[G1 Android Development] d0g:
I'm not blaming anyone -- just wondering if there's any way around it?
[G1 Android Development] darkamikaze:
Short Answer: Sorry, Nope
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
LOL. I never have this problem. Restore all apps (using MyBackupPro), restore ADW-settings, restore ADW-desktop configuration, DONE.

All (default/custom) shortcuts on all homescreens are back. Only the widgets you have to manually put back after restoring.

No problem whatsoever. Has nothing to do with an "Android" fault :D
[G1 Android Development] darkamikaze:
shortcuts, adw settings, screen layout ALL restore fine.. I was referring to just widgets. :T and THAT is android fault.
[G1 Android Development] M..N:
Is it possible for icon sizes to be increased like on the miui roms
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
This ofcourse was no way to be understood from your initial reply, you quoted the whole text and said "it" wasn't possible.
[G1 Android Development] darkamikaze:
As far as I can tell I never wrote "it". Sorry if my initial reply was a short story. If anything it's all cleared up.
[G1 Android Development] M..N:
Anyone?
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
No

10chars
[G1 Android Development] M..N:
Any reason for this
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
I'm using Desktop Visualizer to have bigger Miui "icons". Works just fine.

In the latest version, I accidentally replaced the app drawer button (in the middle of the dock) with an app.

I cannot figure out how to change it back to the app drawer!

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
hmmm I'm working on it lol I'll let you know in a minute
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
long press on the home screen and choose custom shortcut

go to pick your activity and choos launcher actions

then choos open close app drawer

this will put the app drawer button on your homescreen, then simply drag it back onto the dock :)

Since update 1.3 i miss the feature to use "grey actionkeys" (here in german "Graue Aktionstasten").

Is it possible, and hopefully not so difficult, to add this feature again?

It was in 1.2.0 under ADW-Settings >> Usersurface >> Grey Actionkeys:

This is how it looks now:

This is how it should look again:

It would be very nice, if you could add this feature, cause I don`t like the coloured icons on my Home-Screen... ;)

And BTW, is it even not possible anymore to seperate the App-Drawer Icon in the Middle, like in the screenshot of 1.2.0?

You see - i just want to restore my "old" look of the Homescreen, but not have to stay at 1.2.0...

[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
if your trying to get rid of the bar completly then ADWSettings >> UI Settings >> Main Dock Style >> None (expand the desktop)

or If your just wanting something else in its place then just drag another app on top of it :)

@AnderWeb

Wow - this is what i call fast response from the dev!

Thanks for the quick release of 1.3.3! :)

@firefly6240

Just found it in the new release - thanks anyway!

@kompheak

I dont't find the option "CUSTOM SHORTCUT".

Could you direct me in the right way?

EDIT:

Just found out now, how to choose another Icon for an app or the app-drawer.

But which ADWTheme Icon Pack do you use for your App-Drawer-Icon in the middle?
