I sound crazy asking this but is there a way anyone could take the bottom quick action buttons off to where thre isn't anything there. No phone, messaging, internet, gmail icons. I bought this quick wave launcher from the market and it pretty much makes the bottom icons useless. Or is there a launcher that takes as many of them away.

ADW Launcher (maybe it's only an ADW.EX feature, but I really doubt it). There's an option somewhere in it that lets you cut it down to zero spaces and expand the desktop.
I use it I love it
Alternatively, you can set adw to hide the dock with a gesture, in case you want to keep the buttons but dont want to look at them

Thanks guys, I'm obviously a fan of webOS from palm. I'm going to give these a try. Id be happy with just the only thing showing is the app drawer icon.

ADW can do it.
Here's what I do:
I enable the hidden dock bar and have swipe-up bring it up. Then I disable the main dock so I have more desk space. Then I tie the home button to my app drawer. It works really well.
Occasionally my app drawer disappears and doesn't come back even when I restart adw. I have to reboot. Any way around this?

Seems like you activated the hidden feature with a gesture. On the launcer [or where it should be] move you finger up and down as close to the bottom of the screen as you can. Its a quick motion too.
Hidden feature? IT WORKED! Now how do I turn it off? Lol

It's called the dock bar, turn it off in ADW settings.
(or use it as a second "launcer" bar)
I always wondered about that. Every time that happened to me is just refresh or reapply the theme.

Thanks dudes lol. I didn't wanna scrap the cm7 greatness for some fault of my own/adw.

Glad we could help.
I'm so excited. Haven't been THIS excited about the phone since I first got it.

Easiest fix:
When it disappears tap and hold screen, launcher actions, choose open/close dock bar.
It will fix your issue.
This adw feature drives me nuts, I immediately turn that ish off lol. I hate the gestures/swipe down actions.

I fixed it. Simple yet amazing effect

There's no way to disable this is there? I can't stand having icons in the notification bar and it's quite annoying to have one every time I need to type.
I already tried freezing the android keyboard in TB but couldn't find the Japanese IME keyboard to freeze. Don't think it would have worked anyway cuz even with the android keyboard frozen it still showed up in the choices...

I'm not sure you should/could get rid of it. Isn't it the only way to change keyboards "on the fly"(apart from menu)?

Yeah as far as I know.. I just wish they had made it the way it normally is.. Which is long press..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Could you not leave it to system default for no keyboard symbol and then just hold down the mic icon on the keyboard to change it in the fly?

I guess you could "skin" the keyboard icon in framework-res.apk (or wherever that icon is) into a plain black or transparent icon so you can't see it lol.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You can disable it completely. There is a boolean value in framework-res called show_ongoing_ime_switcher. Some people like it apparently so I've made it toggle-able

I don't have the settings key on my Nexus. When I was using an ICS beta on my Desire it was there, but I didn't even realise till now that my Nexus doesn't have it.
I just mucked around with a few settings and found what brings it up, and therefore what takes it away. In the Android keyboard settings menu, the very top option 'Input languages', if 'Use system language' is ticked, then the keyboard icon won't show up. As soon as you untick that and select more than one language at a time, the icon will be there.
That's what brought it up for me, I don't know if there's another option that can make the icon appear, but hopefully that helps someone?

there is still a hold to switch keyboards wihtout pulling down teh notification bar
hold onto the "space bar" on the stock 4.0 android keyboard and the keyboard switcher will pop up
I discovered that by accident just now
Yea its annoying even on honeycomb. I don't need an icon every time I use a 3rd party keyboard.

Apps with an status bar icon will get high priority. So keyboard icon to make sure the kb got the response it needs?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Oh... must be talking about third party keyboards... stock doesn't do that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Stock would do it if you had more than one keyboard enabled..
The idea of blacking out the icon is a great idea.. I just have no idea how to do it lol...

To get the keyboard icon off, you have to delete the keyboards that you aren't using. When you delete these keyboards the keyboard icon should go away. You have to have a file manager like root explorer. Go to /system/app folder and delete openwnn.apk for the Japanese keyboard and Pinyin.apk for the Chinese keyboard. After you do that, the keyboard icon should go away, it did for me.
Never noticed the keyboard icon until I chanced on this thread. At times this forum can seem a little like the hypochondriac flicking through the medical dictionary to see what's wrong with them. But then again if you are I'll..
I think the reasoning behind it is they want it more user friendly for folks that arent hardcore like you'd find on here. Basically, a long press is a "hidden" function compared to having it show up on the top for switching inputs. I kind of like it that way anyway, besides, it only shows up when you are typing anyway so It really doesnt bother me much.
Annoys me too. For the first few days I kept checking it assuming it was an action item, then finally figured out it was just there in case I needed it. If I could disable this notification, I would.
The problem with changing the bool to hide the ime switcher is that third party keyboards no longer switch. Only the stock keyboard seems to be enabled.
Hey all,
on ROMs is there anyway to change the direction the application drawer slides. Currently mine goes left to right, but I would rather it go up to down.
Thanks
What ROM are you on? Usually the settings for the drawer are in launcher settings.

Hi everyone I've tried all alternative lockscreen apps on the market but they all share the same annoying bug : if I unlock sliding on a shortcut e. g. whatsapp. once I press back to quit the app and (logically) going to my home screen, it goes back to the app that locks my phone and locks it again. this is not really functional. all I was looking for was a way to have different wallpapers for both home screen and lockscreen. tired of having the same one for both. suggestions?

It's not a bug, it's programmed that way.
App called widgetlocker can do what you want.
