Anybody know where I can get this contacts widget?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
What section in the settings? I've never seen it before, and can't find it at all right now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Is this a feature or a glitch? I just picked up my phone receiving an SMS. Hit home and I see the Launcher on the right side...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
You can? Where are these settings?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] badantii:
I have installed Dolphin HD and using it as default browser, how can I choose so it launches that browser instead of orginal "Browser" when I press the Browser icon??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
Delete the browser icon and take the one from dolphin?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] badantii:
Eh how? :(

Lol, nevermind.. *stupid*..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SBS_:
Have anyone else noticed the bug in ADW Launcher regarding folders? If you open a folder and launch a program from it and then return to the launcher it can no longer open said folder. Only thing that works is restarting ADW Launcher.

Pretty serious bug in my opinion and it might make me switch to another launcher before it's fixed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] quixotiCfluX:
i just tried that out on mine and i don't see that issue. I'm on 8.7 though using darch's 2.1 AOSP ROM

What ROM are you using?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paulk_:
Never had that problem, been using it for quite a while now, first on CM 5.0.7.1 and now 5.0.8 since it came out.

[EDIT] Just FYI I'm not using the system app
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SBS_:
Just using stock frf83 with latest market version of ADW. The same thing works just fine in launcher pro, so I don't really know what's wrong.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kitsunisan:
Just had this happen to me as well, can no longer open my bookmarks folder, also happened to my browser folder a couple of days ago. Using Kang-o-rama .8 final.

Installed the .ZIP located here via recovery for 0.8.9 and I'm not seeing the new swype options and now my system version says 0.8.7, i'm guessing i did something wrong, but this is how I've updated each time. anyone with similar experience or have some help to give?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheWanky:
Quickie tip: If you don't want swipe actions, set the swipe action to "Open App..." and then hit back when it gives you the list. It'll now do nothing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Uff, the new SWIPE ACTION is great !!! :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
v0.8.8 bug fixes.

v0.8.9 added support for swipe up/down gestures for your favourable action.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
is there and update zip for cm?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lovegu:
whats the sms/email widget are you using on the screenshot?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] neok44:
hey can anyone tell me what the name of the clock widget is here:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Divi Clock.

Thanks Iv been looking for sms/gmail widgets :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] neok44:
thanks!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Can't seem to get the default screen option to work. Which ever screen I set as default...it just keeps going to 2.

Another thing. I restored a previous backup of the Widgets after I upgraded to ...8.8 - looks like it broke the dock bar scrolling function. Just installed the. 8.9 hoping it would fix it, but it hasn't.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Scrollable 2nd dock bar confirmed working on v0.8.8, no issue so far.

Default screen is working also on v0.8.8, no idea on v0.8.9 yet as I not update to it at the moment.

Background restore is 100% confirm broke the widget from any version. The widget restore seems broke on any launcher at the moment.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] godsfilth:
is there a way to turn off the swipe up/down options introduced in .8.9?

i have a folder on my desktop and the swipe functions prevents me from scrolling through the folder
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Xlythe:
Is there any way to lock the app drawer / desktop apps so long pressing no longer works? Swiping through the app drawer, Galaxy style, keeps interrupting itself because I accidentally touch an app. It thinks the swipe is a long press and decides to put it on the desktop/dock. :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] agriff:
Andrewtst, first, thanks for the great app and all the hard work you have put in.

I wanted to ask if you ever considered moving the LAB and RAB just slightly farther away from the App Drawer button? The reason I ask is that approx 1 in 5 times I try to open the app drawer I end up pressing the L/RAB. Also, quite often when I'm trying to delete an icon off one of the desktops, I'll end up dropping it in the LAB by mistake, even if I'm very careful.

Just talking about moving them like 1mm farther away, each. My fingers are average sized so I'm sure I'm not the only one having this issue.

Sorry if this has been covered in the thread but I just couldn't get through all the pages.

Thanks,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nomedor:
Andrewtst thanks for this great app :)

I have great idea, to avoid gestures by mistake make them double touch instead of one ;)

I have seen something like this for HD2 and it is very convenient :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Dear agriff & nomedor,

Please ask or PM AnderWeb.

I am Andrewtst not AnderWeb. I am not that genius yet doing this launcher. hehe..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
:rofl:

I like it, it's pure slapstick.

Thanks "Andrewtst,who'snotthebuilderofthisgreatAppit'sAnderWeb" for the running gag.

Try to add this to your signature. ;)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Ha! Ha! Good Idea! :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobtentpeg:
Just sayin'...

Putting the "best launcher poll" in a specific launchers thread is bound to skew the results.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Today's LauncherPro release makes it way faster than ADW... at least on my Milestone. Maybe because its the new Milestone/Droid mem hack they put in there. I wish ADW will get that soon because it's slightly sluggish still...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xuser:
That's like two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kitsunisan:
Man, I'm stealing that line at some point!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asscobb:
Not sure if this has been said: I like the swipe up/down options, but I need to be able to set it to where swiping up and down do nothing. I don't want to necessarily have it do something. Other than that I love the launcher. Runs very fast and smooth on my N1.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
v.0.9.0 is out in the Market...:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crachel:
Well I've given up trying to keep up with updating the CM 508 ADW via Recovery and gone ahead and downloaded from the market. I couldn't wait to try the new swype features and whatever build is currently up on the mirror is not 0.8.9, the guy compiling that stuff says it is, but he's just plain wrong.. anyways, not a big deal
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Launcher pro just got lapped, swipe inclusion in ADW is delicious.

regarding the 8.9 build: Anderweb accidently left some froyo code an any system app compiled was faulty.

9.0 is up on droid basement from pershoot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
i've got those Manup droid icons, but i cant figure out how to add them to the dock on ADW launcher. could someone help me out? :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
what exactly does "swipe" do?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
You can swipe up and/or swipe down to perform numerous functions, anything from showing the not bar, to launching an app, to opening up the drawer, going to default homescreen, or nothing at all if you'd like*.

*people are actually leaving 1-Start comments on the market for an inclusion of an OPTIONAL feature. lol :eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Scrollable dock is cool, but wish it was pages of docks that we could scroll...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
I wish ADW was as smooth with Previews as Launcher Pro is! I like a lot of features of ADW but wish the previews transition was a lot smoother. I use 7 screens and about a dozen widgets; Pandora, music, search bar, pure messenger widget(x2), Fancy Widget, system info, SwitchPro, juice defender, juice plotter, setcpu, & pure calendar.

I can't for the life of me get the screen previews to open smoothly- they always seem choppy. Is there something I am doing wrong possibly or does LauncherPro just excel in this area?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Different case for me, I not using LauncherPro because of the choppy preview. Actually got one feature "changeble dock" which let me want move to LauncherPro, that the reason I keep testing but end up I remove it because the preview is over choppy. ADW.Launcher preview is extremely smooth.

Not sure AnderWeb will put in the changeble dock feature or not, I want it so much. This is the only feature I feel it can't get full mark because of missing it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paulk_:
Can you just create the shortcuts with the icons and drag them into the launcher? Think that should work. Can't really help you if it doesn't, I don't use any customs icons myself lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Use FolderOrganizer create a shortcut and then place the customize shortcut at desktop and drag to dockbar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jyveafk:
You can drop folders on the popup bar? Whoa! Fantastic.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
That's so weird that two people using the same phone and similar set ups have such different results???

And I love being able to change the dock and my launcher icon too! So far, Launcher Pro for me but I want to like ADW... ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
When you Pinch, ADW is just as fast as LP in terms of sense previews in that expose fashion. When using the Home Button for example, ADW slows to a crawl because the Home button isn't designed to do that. It's a Hack + preview. By executing two things at once, the preview slows down.

The developer AnderWeb answered me after I bugged him twice about it in this post... so does LP feature a faster preview via home button? Maybe there are some more hacks/better hacks that can result in better performance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
SO MUCH faster with LP! Both Devs have done a fantastic job but LP kills ADW in this area plus you can actually adjust the speed that the previews open at with LP on a scale on 1 to 10. (I have mine set at 7 or 8). There is no lag at all...Try it out. I switch back and forth between the two with each update. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
I switch back and forth between the two also. But I am so used to ADW's "pull up home button to show hidden app dock". I put taskpanel and Mobile setting things there which I can easily access but don't wanna be visible all the time. The swipe left/right dock in launcher pro is unnatural to me.

On the other hand, I compared both launchers (briefly) on battery usage and it looked like with launcher pro my battery was going away faster. That was a few weeks ago and several updates had been made so I can't tell now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paulk_:
Pure Messenger and Pure Calendar widgets are now both scrollable with ADW Launcher and LauncherPro http://bit.ly/9e0e4P.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
On LauncherPro you cannot disable the Wallpaper Hack. I need this by using GlasStatusbar and a static Wallpaper.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
i thought thats how you would do it but i dont know how to make the shortcut with the custom icon until i read the post below this, lol

do i need the paid version to create the actual icon and put it on homescreen? i cant seem to figure out how to do it with Folderorganizer Lite.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
You could try Apps Organizer which is free and still support icon changes.

I not sure about FolderOrganizer Lite support or not.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jasrups:
Is anyone else unable to get the FolderOrganizer icons to appear in the DockBar? I keep getting the default Android icon..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] quixotiCfluX:
Just installed 0.9.0 and I'm still having the same issue I described earlier with 0.8.6.

Basically if I have the notification bar hidden, at random times the screen will get shifted down. It isn't happening as much now with 0.9.0, but it still does get pushed sometimes.

Any ideas?

Here are my screenshots again:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
It's an old issue I've not yet managed to reproduce myself, so I'm not sure why is it happening....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
I looked here and couldn't find anything either...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris4chelsea:
recently installed 0.9.0 and have come across a bug but not sure if its becoz of some other things. the issue is that after a while, widgets on homescreen like music, clock... do not get updated with latest info e.g. the real time and what song is playing...

anyone has this problem. the work ard is force close launcher... tks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
persistent mode? I started using persistent mode recently. Maybe with 0.8.9 or something. Anyway my clock sometimes stops and all my other widgets too. It kinda sucks. I turned persistent off.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris4chelsea:
tks for the info... i will try turning that off too, u r rite, i think i have recently turned that on too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Anyone else notice screen lag while playing music?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
As I mentioned on Twitter I can recreate the screen dropping issue easily.

I don't know what parts are relevant, but here;s everything I know about it.

I have 7 desktop screens. And this only happens on the 5th one (I have the 4th set as home, this is one to the right)

I have the status bar hidden, and swipe down to show the notification tray.

When I swipe down to see the bar it comes down fine, I see no change.

when the tray goes back up I see the screen is lower as it should be because the status bar is visible, but when the status bar hide the screen stays down

If I go to another screen, it stays lower, and swipe down to the notification tray and back up the screen resets to the normal position

Back on screen 5 if I press and hold to pick up an icon, the screen jumps down again, resetting works in the same way as above

just sitting on screen 5 also can do it (but this one is randomly, could be happening at a garbage collection time, not sure, wasn't watching the logcat)

I have icons, and bookmarks on that screen, but taking out the bookmarks doesn't fix it.

going into the application list and back does not create the bug

pressing and holding to get the "add to homescreen" list does not create the bug

I think that's all the detail I can give... Hope something in there can help.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Only with the new widgets from eliotstocker cause the new progress bars :P

Tried during 10 min, with my MT3G running cm6 and didn't happen at all...

tried another 5 min on my N1 with cm508 and.... nothing either....

I cannot reproduce it, damnnnnn!!!

Anyways, i'm gonna play with the code and see what i get.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dictionary:
I can't reproduce the page drop either. It always goes back up for me, so I'm not sure. If it happens while I test, I'll shoot Ander a logcat for ya.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
Screen dropping related to having status bar hidden by any chance? Just a guess

I have had dropping screens ever since I started using ADW launcher (always status bar in hidden mode)

Minor inconvenience though
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ipawd1:
All My Screens

Main Screen:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
An easy way to reproduce page drop (works every time) on my N1 Stock Froyo:

1. Bind Home key to show/hide status bar

2. Hide the status bat by default

3. On a page with some icon shortcuts at the 1st row, press the home key 2 times (show then hide the status bar, so the status bar is still hidden after this step)

4. Now use the trackball to scroll all the way up.

5. Page drop happens (If u scroll all the way down with trackball now the page drop can be reverted)

Not complaining, I m in love with ADW.Launcher! Just wanna let u know this happens (also in LauncherPro...)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
Yes, I can do it that way too. On any screen, not just the 5th one. To me it seems like it is expanding the overall surface, since scrolling down with the trackball to the bottom moves the screen up, and by going all the way to the top brings it back down.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
Another note, if the screen has a widget on it I can't use the previous method to create the bug.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
what do you have your icons set to, 6 rows and 5 columns? do you have "auto stretch" enabled?

how does it look when you turn the phone sideways?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] marclais:
Transparent power control widget

Where can I find the transparent widget with the 7 toggles above the OPs own image?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
It's called switchpro widget.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
i just downloaded that as well. should this process be excluded from task manager/killer from being ended?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
You should probably just stop using the task manager all together. Only use it to close misbehaving apps. You'll get a faster phone with a better battery life.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
I've never heard anyone say that? How would leaving 5-10+ apps open in the background make it faster/better battery vs closing them? That doesn't make sense to me. Please explain?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
lol*..I would say you the same ;)

Kill your taskkiller, or at least the auto-kill function of it!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

http://androidspin.com/2010/05/25/why-you-dont-need-a-task-killer-app-with-android/

Your phone will be much better off without you killing the processes all the time. Even if they are listed as running, they are not. Read through those articles.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
I don't have it set to autokill. i have advanced task killer, as well as advanced task manager.. i normally use killer to kill things ive recently used, such as pandora, internet, etc.. until i go to use them again, why have them running in the background?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
ill read through those. i promise this is the first ive heard about not using them!! :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Because they are not "running" in the background.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
interesting.. thanks for the heads up, and i will deff read those 2 articles.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
Keep in mind I did mention the one exception to the rule. I do keep one task manager lying around to kill any apps that behave poorly. Mostly my own development though, but sometimes there could be one that will constantly use 100% cpu and not play nice, but it is very rare.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
I was just going to mention that. How do i tell which apps are behaving "bad"?

becuase i just found this, pretty much what you just said.

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/05/19/google-blame-poor-apps-for-poor-battery-life/

also, google included ATK in froyo i read in the comments from a user, so they felt the need for it (assuming for "bad" apps though).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
If you find your phone is really hot, after the screen has been turned off for a while, or you can see it is draining much faster than normal, like 10x faster. Then something is keeping it awake. Going into your task manager then will show you which app is using 100%.

Or by checking the battery stats in the Spare Parts app and seeing if there is an app really high on the 'partial wake' list.

And no, there is no ATK included in Froyo. Just the normal task management that has always been in Android.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
Im going to PM you so we stop hijacking this thread, lol.

i just have a few more questions.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
Apart from page drop, I found page raise just now! LOL

On any screen, long press Menu button. The keyboard will push the screen up!

Not a complaint ofcoz.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
does that on mine, and on launcher pro too lol

what is page "drop"?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dafunky:
Hello, I have a newbie question... I read the first post but I can't find how to create custom shortcuts for the dockbar... I would like to chose the icon image, to be honnest, like you almost all have

EDIT : I did it with FolderOrganizer
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] masse1369:
I love the swipe up and swipe down functions on this latest version. Swipe down for contacts and swipe up for Sense previews. I like it a lot. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
This is the page "drop":
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dafunky:
What is "Sense-like preview style" please?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lordnik0n:
Noooob stuffs

I have eclair 2.2.1,and when i rebooted into recovery i installed the 0.9 adw but when i rebooted my phone,i still have the same 0.7 that came with eclair any ideas anyone?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
A bug, of sorts, using .9 system version and cm 6 alpha 1. I saw your github where you added a check to hide the ADWSettings under the system settings menu if adw is not default.

While this is cool probably 99% of the time, if you use quickdesk this causes problems. If you aren't aware, quickdesk, tho not a full home replacement, has to be set as the default home launcher, then within quickdesk you specify ADW (or whatever you are using) as your default launcher.

Under this setup, of course, the adwsettings menu dissapears from settings menu, allthough it's still my launcher, just not the "system default". Only way to get into settings is to clear defaults in quickdesk, set adw as default and then access settings.

Would it be possible to "trap" for quickdesk set as default launcher and still show adwsettings in this scenario?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Why don´t you like it that way?

-> ADW as default launcher and QuickD. opens longpress searchbutton.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I didn't realize you could longpress searchbutton as well, that's why :)

I still kinda prefer it with quickdesk as default tho because you can double tap home button to launch it which seems either more intuitive, or perhaps just what I am used to :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
It´s just that ADW stays untouched in settings..:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Heh, correct. It's a great workaround (thanks, btw :) ) just would be cool if it could be tweaked a bit so that quickdesk can be default and settings still appears so that those of us that prefer the double tap home can still have it.

I'll just use the search button binding now that you pointed that out, but if it's possible in a future version, that would be excellent!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
I think you misunderstood what I've been adding.

If you check my last commit on github you'll see I'm trying to make the adwsettings VISIBLE on the main launcher screen for those users with different home app as default/no default set.

Removing the menu was a code edit by cyanogenmod team, no myself, and I'm trying now to reach a "middle point" that satisfies more users.

Obviously if the cm team decide to remove the menu, I cannot do anything, I'm just providing alternatives.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
Ander, I was just wondering why you use a custom icon for ic_menu_notifications.png when there is a perfectly suitable one found in framework-res.apk? I think this is only found in the standalone version & not the system version. It kinda messes with a custom theme.

Is this due to some compatibility I may be overlooking, or is it just thrown in there by mistake?

Thanks for reading this.
