adb remount

adb push ADWLauncher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk

reboot

Pinch zoom works by just "pinching" the whole screen with your thumb and index finger. Just like when you want to decrease the size of an image using multitouch.
[G1 Android Development] d_paswan:
Hey thanks for quick response...is this working for Galaxo 1.6.3.3?? it doesn't seems to be working for me
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Don't know... It is working perfectly on SuperE 1.02 though... ;)
[G1 Android Development] FadeFx:
hi AnderWeb

first of all i really love your launcher, its way the best i know and it performs really well on my samsung galaxy with newest galaxo.

however i still have some ideas to improve the usability, for example i´d love to have a similar possibility to scroll through the drawer screens like the desktop dots on the homescreen.

also if i have opened the drawer and i press home button i actually normally just want to close the drawer, and not open the preview. i tryed different settings for home button, but not with the wanted effect.

i am pretty sure i have some more ideas as i use ADWLauncher for some more time, but thats my first impressions...
[G1 Android Development] FadeFx:
hi its working perfectly for me, just get ADWLauncher from market, install it and make it your default launcher. then you should remove launcher.apk, which is not needed anymore, from data/app_s because galaxo holds it in memory for faster resopnse.
[G1 Android Development] d_paswan:
Hi FadeFx, can you tell how exactly this pich zoom work? whats preview mode? does it work for galary?
[G1 Android Development] Akerfeldt:
Try to zoom out one of your home screens then you get the preview.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Great, I thought it was just me. I tried flashing it 5 times, but it still kept my previous version installed as well. Has the good Doc confirmed this to be a bug or something yet? I cant use ADB so I'm not able to use the method. Hope it's something simple to fix.
[G1 Android Development] MINUS Stl:
Just dl'd and flashed it (7.8) this morning with no problems.

Nice to see ander FINALLY add pinch-to-zoom.....lazy bastard coder. :p
[G1 Android Development] sitimber:
yeah just look at the op title "2010.05.04-ADW.Launcher" just a little behind
[G1 Android Development] Akerfeldt:
Why not?

1-Download Android SDK zip file here

2-Extract the files to C:\AndroidSDK

3-Copy the ADWLauncher.apk (ADWLauncher7.8_Replacement_HDPI.zip>system>app>ADWLauncher.apk) to the folder "tools" in AndroidSDK

4-Connect your device, go to the command prompt and type

cd/

cd AndroidSDK/tools/ (then you should be able to see if your device is connected)

adb remount

adb push ./ADWLauncher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk

And that's it.
[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
it works! so simple my shame :D thx you dude
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
No, it's not that I don't understand the process, I'm just literally unable to do it because ever since i rooted my phone, my computer has no longer been able to "see" it or connect to it via usb. I've tried all the downloads, files, drivers, so on and so forth but it's been a no go ever since. That's why I rely on the flashable zips.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
CM5 is Eclair, not Donut. Cloverdale also provides flashable /system versions for Eclair.

Any chance of Dell Streak support please?

[G1 Android Development] jfourman:
Thanks!

Thanks AnderWeb. I had disabled the dockbar. I'll re-enable it until fixed.

This is a great product enhanced with great support!
[G1 Android Development] Akerfeldt:
When I flash the ADW Launcher my CM-5.0.7-DS wallpapers disappear from the gallery, is it bug or is it normal?
[G1 Android Development] dcchristopher:
I apologize in advance if my suggestion belies your expertise in Android, modding, etc, but I just wanted to start with the low-hanging fruit first ... have you ensured that USB Debugging is on when you connect? Sometimes you have to do it for the given USB Connection profile (Charge only, HTC Sync, etc). The USB Debugging "warning" triangle has to appear in the notification bar to know that it's "working". Your computer should then see your phone. Sometimes it helps to disable/re-enable things in Android.
[G1 Android Development] FadeFx:
sorry, pinch zoom does not work on galaxy since we dont have multitouch support, thought you asked if adw launcher works on galaxy... you can still see the previews if you press the home button.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
For those having issues with the old launcher remaining after a flash, I am guessing it is from not being on cm5.0.8-test 3. Two ways to fix this:

1. Flash test 3 then the launcher.

2. Remove Launcher.apk from /system/app via

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/Launcher.apk
reboot
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Thanks Dr. That was my issue.

ADW. great work like usual.

Thanks all
[G1 Android Development] blindguyinanorgy:
Feature Request

Im running on Tilt, to preview just press home button when viewing home.

This beets Helix Launcher, but i have one feature request to help those of us without multi touch...Helix launcher can preview with double tap. this is much easier because my finger is usually on screen when i need to preview.

could make it an option to switch between double tap and pinch zoom
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Thanks for the info, but I'm running Complete Eclair 2.2.1 (which I believe is CM5.0.7-based). Is there any chance of you creating a flashable zip that works on other Eclair ROMs? (the flashable ADW 0.7.7 worked great)
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Oh, no offense taken. I have definitely tried that but nothing seems to take. The only that happens when I plug the usb into the computer is that it begins to charge. I don't even get the notification that it has been connected. See, to point it simply, my phone is damn well retarded (no offense by my words). There's a lot of basic things my phone seems to have issues with like usb connectivity, unable to flash certain ANYSPL versions of roms on my stock spl, countless SD errors and "not inserted" errors which leads to another set of headaches, and just stupid things like that. Can't say why my phones act the way it does sometimes, but for all the headaches it has given me twice the fun so I just take it, you know?
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Hey, thanks for supplying a quick solution. 2 quick questions for verification though. 1. Is it required to be on Test 3 to use the method posted above or was flashing to Test one of the solutions? If I'm still on Test 1, can I still run that command? And 2. Speaking of the command, I assume I run that in Terminal Emulator and than once it reboots, go into recovery, flash your 7.8 zip and all should be right with the world. Do i have that right? Thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] Foxwolfe:
Both of his solutions are independant from one another. You can flash test 3 which will allow you to flash the latest zip he posted without removing the old launcher prior, or you can run the code in terminal, then boot into recov and flash like normal.

I had to use the second option as well as I'm still running the 5.0.7 stable build and could not flash over my old ADW launcher install with the current zip.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Oh, so even though I'm on a CM5.0.7-based ROM, I can run

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/Launcher.apk
reboot

and then flash in the recovery the 0.7.8 flashable zip?

Sorry for the need for confirmation, but I just want to be sure.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
That is correct. You can also do:

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/app/Launcher.apk
reboot recovery

Flash .zip

To save a few button presses ;)
[G1 Android Development] cvhovey:
Searched but didn't find anything on this question...is there a way to make the Dockbar default to being visible all the time and then tap on the "v" to show the app-drawer button when infrequently using the drawer. In other words, reverse of the current default setting. Is that possible to do now....or include as an option?
[G1 Android Development] Foxwolfe:
In my experience the dockbar will stay up until you tap the arrow to downsize it, even with locking and unlocking the phone itself. But I also haven't tested that scenario out extensively or for long periods of time so I'm not sure.
[G1 Android Development] cvhovey:
The dockbar does stay up for some periods of time, but I'm finding it occasionally hidden again...but not quite figured out what prompts it to revert to the app-drawer button.
[G1 Android Development] knny1491:
I just swype up to show it and swype down to drop it.

Open the zip, go to system, then app.

Extract adwlauncher.apk rename it to Launcher.apk.

Then manually push it

adb remount

push Launcher.apk /system/app

I'm guessing since it's the replacement launcher, it should have the default name. But this worked for me.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Don't the terminal commands JAguirre1231 posted accomplish the same thing without needing to know adb?
[G1 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
u got a beast on ur hands !!!!
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Thank you for the confirmation. So the second option worked well, no problems?

Thanks for the tip on the extra steps.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Ok, I have a quick follow up question. I just looked under system/app and I have launcher.apk in there (as per the commands) but I also have ADWlauncher.apk in there. What is that then, and do I have to do anything with it? Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] rumsey:
It just said "app not installed."

Here's a logcat:

[G1 Android Development] Cry Havoc:
So, I download ADW. It installed perfectly, but now I've lost the ability to use several widgets that I really enjoyed employing with Sense. Specifically, the "settings" widget that allowed me to individually control 4G, Wifi, etc. and turn them on or off.

Are there ways around this? I'm sorry if this has been asked in the thread, but it's 165 pages now and just impossible to wade through.

I'd like to have the option of using the ADW launcher but only if it comes without caveats, although downloadable Widgets would be just as acceptable provided they don't cost must (or free!)

Using an HTC Evo 4G. =)
[G1 Android Development] kawazzzzzz:
Check widgets by CurveFish in the market.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
This is a problem with Sense, nothing else. HTC purposefully made the Sense widgets ONLY work with Rosie.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Does the Evo come with the Power Control widget that comes with Android 1.6+, or did HTC strip that from their 2.1 Sense build?

Apps Installed on SD Card don't appear in Drawer

I just installed the Froyo hack to allow installation of most apps to the SD Card.

Hack found here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/50549-who-wants-apps-sd-froyo-way.html

It works great. However, most of the icons for apps on the SD Card don't appear in the ADW Launcher Drawer after a reboot. I can fix the problem by clearing Application Defaults, launching the native launcher and then going back to ADW.

My ADW installation was from the Market. Do you think installing ADW by flashing would fix the problem or is coding by AnderWeb required to search the SD Card for apps when loading ADW?

Thank you for your replies.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
You have to add 3D scrolling. Until then launcher pro has you beat bro.
[G1 Android Development] Sciphone:
Is there any other ways to see the screen previews than pressing home button?? When I press home, I see home apps and I don't want to disable it.

Please add something like "doubletouch screen and see screen previews", it would be much better.

But this is great Launcher!

(I'm using Donut version)
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
I'm stopping development of this.

I'll make private feleases for my friends, so you don't need to worry about comparisions anymore.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
:(

Forget people like him. You have a great product with a large and loyal following. Differing products in the same market are a good thing and allow people a choice. Myself and many others have chosen ADW as their launcher of choice for good reason...it's the best! :)
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:

[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Probably for the best, LauncherPRO is better...... bro.

If you are using the Market version this is already included. Alternatively you can hold the screen dots, press the home button or multi-touch zoom.
[G1 Android Development] blackvyper:
Ander, don't waste your talents defending yourself :eek: Alot of people love ADW.. personally I look forward to every update. I tried Helix, Launcher Pro and various others... all of those have nothing on you. I've been through various forums posting reviews about your launcher... all excellent! Hope you don't give up on us, but I'd beg if it would help :D
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Don't do that.

I've never cared for LauncherPro and I never will. ADW is perfect, and the fact that it can be installed as system is one HUGE advantage over LP.

Seriously, man, don't let idiotic comments get to you. The people here generally support this launcher, and want to use it. People who post offhanded comments like "You have to add 3D scrolling. Until then launcher pro has you beat bro" are people who don't appreciate the extensibility, speed and stability that you've brought to ADW. Even Cyanogen says that ADW is faster and cleaner than the stock launcher, hence his inclusion of it in Cyanogen. It can't get any clearer than that, people want this to succeed!

Hi there.

Awesome job to beging with.

I just have a problem,

Im runing alan090`s CyanogenMod 5.0.8-t4 Stable/Fast 2.1 with ADW 0.7.7..

Cant edit icons with BetterCut 2.3 =(

They just ether wont apear, or it tells me there is no HOME.... :S
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It's probably because he replaced it with the Market version, which does not allow Bettercut (it's a problem with BetterCut). I suggest you flash the system replacement to fix this.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Exactly. Gospel being spoken right there.

Haha, y'all crack me up with the back and forth y'all do. I might not be in the inner circle, but just reading it is half the fun of this thread.
[G1 Android Development] Rosco911:
Sorry for being such a n00b :( but how do I do that?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I would go through the member Cloverdale's posts and see where he posted it (not enough time to find it for you, sorry). Once you find it, download it and flash like you would a rom (only this just replaces the launcher).
[G1 Android Development] Rosco911:
thaaaaaaaank u
[G1 Android Development] Rosco911:
Thank you very very much this helped a lot!!!!

Just one more thing, is there a way to clear data from the dockbar? i installed the new launcher, and everything works great, only problem now is that the dock apears empty with no icons, but when adding a new icon, it shows me that it already has 6 items .. not a big deal..
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Not sure, have you tried holding one of the invisible icons? If they still exist it will ask you to remove them.
[G1 Android Development] s0mep00p:

Changing dockbar shortcuts

Hey..

Just wanted to say GREAT work Anders, iwe been useing LauncherPro fr a while, and been a happy costumer there, but I really love ur launcher :)

Just wanted to know how you change the shortcuts in the dockbar? Long-press dosent seem to do the trick, and I cant see any options in settings to select wich apps u want displayed...

can u help?
[G1 Android Development] yingjai:
Does anyone else have the problem where you have a contact shortcut in the lab/rab and when you click it, sometimes it takes a long time to respond and other times it doesnt respond at all? After the popup has sucessfully loaded once however, the problem disappears until perhaps it gets pushed out of the memory.

I tried comparing it to the shortcut being on the homescreen and it seems like the lag is either less severe or doesnt exist.

Can anyone confirm this?

Im still on 0.7.8. waiting for flashable 0.8 version
[G1 Android Development] damngood98:
just drag your app/shortcut onto the dockbar. long pressing should bring a popup asking to confirm a deletion.

adb shell

cd /data/app

rename new launcher as launcher.apk or in cyanogen's new released roms ADWLauncher.apk

then just move/push the newly named .apk to /system/app/Launcher.apk

[G1 Android Development] avivot54:
flashable mdpi 0.8.2 version

if anyone is interested attached below is a flashable v.

if after flash you got stuck with previous version then:

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/Launcher.apk
reboot

and enter recovery and flash.

after boot, if you notice you "lost" a desktop screen ( e.g instead of 3 you got 2 now), just do to ->adw settings and change the number of screens to whatever it was b4. don't worry nothing was lost.
