I have the latest sleeper rom on my phone, and noticed what seems to be a bug. I accidently put an app where the app drawer was trying to throw it away, and had to completely redo the rom to correct it. Is there a way to add it back without a fresh install? I tried just wiping dalvik and cache and reflashing, but it was still there, and could't find app drawer to add back anywhere through the menu, also yes I now know the trash is at the top. Thanks in advance, Eric
Which launcher are you using?
If it's Go Launcher (which has trash at the top), you just need to drag an item off your dock, which will leave an open space with a + icon. Tap the + icon and the App drawer shortcut is in the top-level list of options to add.
I was using the adw launcher that came with it, it would not let me drag it away and there was no app drawer or app grid or anything to add to put it back. Don't know if it was a bad dl, first time I dl'ed it it wouldn't install. I went to use the camera and it failed so I went back to cleangb. I will wait for another release to try it again.
Just grab another launcher from the Market like Zeam.
longpress anywhere on the screen ...select launcher actions-open/close drawer....then drag it down to the dock bar once its on your home screen

I feel like an idiot asking this, but I tried looking on my phone left and right...
On the bottom of the home screen with the 3 apps, the middle one directs you to all of the apps on the phone..But I lost that, and now its just a star..How do I restore it? Thanks!
PS-Any settings for this?
What rom are you running? Im going to guess cm6. If i recall from memory you just need to hit menu on the home screen then select settings. On that list goto launcher or something like that its been a while since i ran cm. Anyway there is options for the launcher and soft keys there.

I recently ran into this problem while using ADW. At your home screen long click and add a custom shortcut. then select adw launcher actions, then chose open/close app drawer.. once thats on your home screen click and drag the icon to the drawer... you should be all set, of course that is if you are using ADW
I would of never figured this out. Thanks so much my friends!
1) I cant get the GPS working. I tried the fix mentioned in the CM7 thread here twice, nothing.
2) I cant install the sprint voicemail I backed up from titanium. It has a cross through it and only gives me the option to uninstall
3) Can someone recommend me some good SBC kernels for this? I was using 4.3.4-cfs-havs-less-sbc on Mikfroyo and I liked it
4) Can I set up ADW to have the scrollable dock like in Launcherpro?
Thanks in advance
1. Reflash the rom, or try opening maps first, then use your gps
2. Reflash to a backup, make sure its working, back it up, then flash back, and restore with data-or use google voice.
3. Savaged zen or Tiamat kernel
4. May have to buy the ex version
1) the gps icon isnt even appearing in the notifications bar at the top. I've reflashed twice already.
2) Turns out it only backed up the data, not the app. Where can I get the apk for it?
3) will do, thanks
4) fair 'nuff
If the voicemail app is a system app, you can only restore the data, not the app. You need to grab the apk & install it, then restore data.
ADW doesn't have a scrollable main dock like LP. It does have a scrollable hidden dock. Swipe up on the center icon & there it is. You can put an unlimited number of shortcuts/folders there - just drag and drop. You can do this in the free version as well, but Ex allows for the changing of each dock's individual background.
I'm not on my computer so I can't upload the apk, but I uploaded it to my Dropbox...

Did you enable it from the power widget bar?
i think I know what's up. I didnt have the GPS enabled while I was doing the fix. lemme try again.
yup that did it. sigh.
With your LauncherPro/ADW issue, this isn't really a fix but you can still install LauncherPro and use it like before. Install it, hit home, check always use this, and tap LauncherPro.
Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM
Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol
Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!
Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.
What recovery are you using?

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.
Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

When doing this method when you get to the app hold it don't tap it.
Hello i flashed elite ICS ROM with elite Kernel ..with default apex lancher..i really like the launcher but when i for example go to apex settings/drawer settings and i change drawer animation from fly in/out to none ...i touch home ... and when i open up my drawer the effect is still there when i look again to setting effect is chosen the same with other functions could something block my launcher or smg?

By the way the EliteRom already includes the Kernel so need to flash both unless the kernel is newer than the Rom.
Trying to replicate what you did, I went into drawer setting, selected none then hit the back arrow to back out to the home screen which was blank for a moment (I guess cuz the UI was restarting) and I clicked on the drawer icon and no animation occurred.
So it might be that you may need to press back instead of home to save the settings (home might be treated as a cancel & exit).
EDIT: Though if I go back and change it back to fly in/out, and hit the home button instead of back, I get the same blank pause, and animation returns. If I set none, and 'home' button again, blank pause, and no animation. So it seems to be working for me regardless if I use the back button or home.
What version of EliteMod are you using, and are you using any customizations?
actually i think that the kernel is bundled ... so you dont need to install it ... and to my problem a tried ..and still the same ... everything disappear from my screen ...and then it pops up i click to my app drawer and effect is back
i am using newest version
no customization
Go into Apex Settings -> About Apex Launcher and see what version you have.
I'm on 1.2.4 , if you're earlier click on the "Check for update now" and apply it, as I've done that in the past.
By the way are you using a DataSwap mod he provides (or sd swap if not that)? (and in that light, are you using an sd-ext partition).

Recently I've noticed that after some of my apps download and install they are installed to one of the homescreens instead of in the app drawer like they are supposed to be. When I go to then install the app on a homescreen (silent toggle widget) and the procedure takes me to the home app drawer after a long press on an empty space on a homescreen I cannot select the app because it is not in there. No other way to select the app because I can't select an app from a home screen.
Not related to JB upgrade cause it was happening from before the upgrade. Short of a factory reset is there anything I can do? Anyone got any ideas?
