Halp! App Drawer Gone from Dock on CM6 RC2!

I accidentally replace the App Drawer shortcut on my middle dock icon with my cam, how do I get the App Drawer shortcut back? I tried resetting AWD but its still there!

. anyone? .

i did the same. seems to be a new 'feature' of ADW located at Menu -> Settings -> ADW -> UI Settings -> Main Dock Style
i was able to get the desired center icon back by toggling to a 3 button bar then back to a 5 button bar. you could also try restoring a prior adw backup.

the issue is I'm already using 5 button layout so when i change to 3 and then back to 5 it does not give me any empty slots because there all use up. I do not want to do a nandroid backup for something as silly as this.. theres gotta be a easier way.
Isn't there a App Drawer shortcut Icon I can put on homescreen and then drag to middle dock icon?

Long press on your home screen, custom shortcut, pick your activity, launcher actions, open close app drawer, okay.
Drop it where ever you want.

I bet you did it while trying to trash a shortcut , instinctively the drag goes to the old location of the trash can. Happened to me twice and was able to correct it like neckface described it.

Thank you very much kudos for you.

OMG thanks dude, was showing a friend my phone and trying to get him to go with android, and accidently did that, and tried all ADW settings and still couldn't fix it...
thanks again man, I thought I was gonna have to do all those back-ups and stuff.

Beautiful Widgets

I've just downloaded this and have no idea how to get it to work, it says to long press on home screen and select widgets, but it doesn't have that option. Not supported for ICS??

Go to the app drawer and choose from the widget selection, they have plenty!

Obviously not tried this with beautiful widgets. Their widgets do not show up in app draw. Only way to get them to work is 'long-pressing' home screen, which we know doesn't give a widget option in ICS.
As far as I'm aware, you would need a custom launcher which has long-press home screen for widgets option. Not worth it imo. I uninstalled my BeautifulWidgets App within 10 minutes of paying 10p for it yesterday, not wasting that kind of money!

I had this problem, beautiful widgets not showing up in app drawer.
Restarted my phone and they show up now.

aspudgun,
WOW! can you say [email protected] to youself? I have the program... I have a GN and I use the widget on the stock launcher... how about u shut your mouth before you run it like a moron... sorry for being rude but i'm not going to take crap from someone who thinks they know it all...
but here are the steps to prove as I just did it on my GN again to make these steps.
1. hit app drawer.
2. select widgets at top of the screen
3. slide over to right until you see the Beautiful Widgets...
4. press and hold the widget of your choice for it
5. place on the screen of your choice you want it to be on
6. remove finger from screen to drop widget on screen
7. screen pops up to setup the widget how you like it (you can get back to the settings by selecting the weather icon in the widget and then hitting the menu soft button which is in the upper right corner)
8. then hit the Save & Apply button and done
Amazing how things work isnt it aspudgun???
again sorry to Jlovell and others for having to read this to get working steps...

What are you talking about? You use beautiful widgets just like any other widget. Did you happen to look at all the widgets that started with the word beautiful in the app drawer? I'm using it now and its super easy

You sometimes have to reboot for widgets to appear in the app drawer... You guys really take this stuff personally LMFAO

Thanks for calling tech support, have you tried turning it off and on again?
Lol, about half the widgets I've downloaded required a reboot to show up in the app drawer...when something doesn't work right, reboot.

A question, when I go in my widget setting to try and change it as I want to change something, I go into settings -> general and it force closes on me, I'm trying to get the black squares to disappear for the Ice Cream Sandwich Super Clock skin by a person named Tama-Chan.
If you can't do it using the app, is there any way to edit a current skin? I just want to remove the black squares and change the font to Roboto to match the ICS font? Any guidance would be much appreciated!

There was an update this morning that mentioned ics compatibility so maybe you can now edit preferences for a widget properly or you could try this:
I did it by removing and re-adding the widget. When you re-add it you get a dialogue asking you what settings you want to use which works.

[Q] Organizing Widgets - How to ?

Hi All,
I have installed the " Minimalistic Text " app which added 13 widgets to the widgets page.. Actually I am using only one of these widgets.
Is there a way to remove all the widgets of this app except the one I am using ?
or maybe a way to put all of them in one folder ?
Thanks in advance,

To remove them long press and drag them to the "remove" bin that appears at the top of the screen.
I don't think you can put widgets in folders, though I've not tried; you could try long press and drag one on top of another to see what happens...

Go into Minimalistic Text setting > Global settings > Widget sizes and untick the ones you don't want to be shown.
To hide the widgets totally in your app draw you will need to install a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex.

Prevent phone from adding shortcuts after install

Hey guys,
As the title says I am looking for a way to disable that stupid function when you install an app there will be automatically a shortcut added to the desktop.
Didn't find any solution for that, even using different launcher and no sense launcher.
It really ****s up my beautiful desktop screens.
Thanks in advance.

It's in the market settings ('Auto-add widgets')

you can also just long press and drag the widget up to where it says "remove" at the top of the screen. i prefer downloading the widget and then deciding if i want it visible or not.

The widget will be downloaded anyway it just wont be added automatically to the home screen.

thanks for the clarification. as i said, i prefer deciding whether it should be visible or not, rather than having them all not visible (and maybe having to hunt for it).

I normally use a blank page for this: First navigate to that page, then install the applications.
Now this page has all applications I have to try out.
It's some sort of todo page.

Changing dock icons on TouchWiz

Well I would really like to change the icons on my tablet but whenever I go edit to move the icons around there is no option to change the docked ones. I have been using apex/nova launcher but find this slows the device down slightly. Anybody know how to change them without a launcher???
Cheers guys

If you want to just change the apps that are in the dock all you have to do is hold and drag them to the desktop or trash bin. To add apps to the dock just add shortcut to any screen then hold and drag it to the dock. Changing icons is more complicated because of the lack of built in icon theme support in TW. Not sure you can at this time without being able to use xposed + icon packager or something similar and/or doing manually which is time consuming.

This doesn't work. Holding the icons do not do anything. I can only tap on it to open the app.
And the approach use on galaxy note ii etc by changing to customisable grid in app drawer doesn't work either as dock disappears in app drawer.

Samsung has disabled the ability to change the dock icons for some countries, e.g. stock Australian ROMs. This may have been a result of local legal challenges by Apple. Options are to use another launcher, like Nova Prime, or root the tablet and edit a file to restore the ability to edit dock icons.

Does anyone know which file to edit, and what to change in that file for those who have rooted tablets?

Sure, it's /system/csc/others.xml. Find the line <CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode> and change the value from TRUE to FALSE. Then save and reboot. After that, you can edit your dock.

This has worked on my SGS5

You are a ****ing Legend.
I just got the SGS5 and I don't have any complain about the touchwiz except not be able to move the icons from the doc.
I should add though, if someone is not familiar on how to edit the .xml file please follow below link
