I discovered a bug in the menu - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello there
I dont know if this bug is because of my custom rom (Android revolution hd) or its an ics bug but anyway
If u go to the app list menu and go to the last page make sure ur last page is not full (mine has 2 lines of apps only ) and go to an empty place under the apps and click and hold
It will select a widget. Pretty weird right?
It will select the widget from the next page even tho u r not on the widget page.
Has this been addressed before? Sorry if its a repost

AOKP M3 and it doesn't do it. Seems to be related to 4.0.3

woooow it's real !! same here
i'm on 4.0.2 stock.

so it's real, 2012 is coming!

4.0.2 stock here and also have the bug (though I'm not sure what the big deal is, doesn't really affect the usage of the phone in any way)

i only have one empty line on the last page, but pressing and holding down on the empty line, does nothing on my phone.

If you scroll over the next page (1st widget page) and memorise where the widgets are placed you can pick particular widgets from the last app window.

I'm on 4.0.3, Gummy Nex 0.7 and do not have this "bug."

I'm coming from stock too, and have this.
I actually found it by myself a while back, I was kind of just tapping on the black area below the last page of apps and the toast notification came up saying "touch and hold to pickup a widget" and then what do you know, holding grabs one, lol.

Another interesting menu bug...
Open an app that has the ... menu key bottom right on the softkey area. Then, hit home and very quickly hit the spot where the menu button was (you need to do this during the transition animation). It brings up a launcher/home screen menu with Wallpaper, Manage Apps, System Settings and Help that isn't normally accessible...

Adw launcher question(where is the notification tab)

Using Adw launcher, when you push the menu button, where is the notification tab? There is an edit tab now. I downloaded the one from the market, but I could've swore the notification tab was there before. Is it maybe a newer version, or am I just missing something?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I believe it is gone. My ADW no longer has it.
Hmmm, I guess ill try to find an older version? I know you can swipe down on the top of the screen, but its easier to just push the tab. Thanks for confirming.

Anyone know where i might be able to find an older version?

I would do a Google search to see if there are any old articles with a download link.

There are several other functions you could do like set the home button to go to home page and if on home page drop down notification screen or to just drop down notification screen. You can also use the swype up or down function to access the notificaion screen. I have my home button set to drop it down but nine out of ten times i just drag the notification down and because i gott get my finger up there anyway lol I know its a stretch.
i personally cannot find the option to add more home screens in ADW launcher version 1.1.3 . Don't know why it's gone. The option used to be there. Does anyone else know why i can't change it from 5 screens to whatever i want any more?
Hit menu, then the edit button, then click on one of the green plus signs. That's what I did, and I have 7 screens now.

[Q] Anyone Else GetThis Weird Glitch Using Dolphin HD?

Normal black lockscreen. I open Dolphin to a webpage and hit the power button. Now on my lockscreen I have the settings dots showing through. Anyone else?
That's not a Glitch,Almost all apps have that function,It's so you can jump right back to what you were doing,as soon as you tap it,it will unlock the screen & bring you into your current app

No ****? I don't use a lot of Apps. The only one installed currently is Dolphin on my GN. Neat feature.
it actually is a glitch/bug.
normally the menu buttons should be hidden when you lock the screen, but due to a bug, they don't.
there is no reason for them to be there, as a simple unlock of the screen brings you back.
so this is a bug/glitch and hopefully it will be fixed.
One for and one against. Anyone care to be the tie breaker?

Instant Fix for Launcher Stutter

If you're on AOKP (possibly other ROMs...haven't used them), you have the option in ROM Control > Navigation bar > Button glow animation to turn off the receding glow animation on the navigation buttons. With the glow turned off you can scroll to a far home screen, hit home, and watch the animation smoothly slide you back to the center screen. It also fixes the stutter in the animation when leaving the app drawer and may improve the speed of the multitask button (I think it does, but that might be placebo). One last fix I've noticed is going back between graphics-intensive screens in apps such as in the Market seems much smoother than it is with the glow enabled.
For those concerned about losing the feedback that the glow provides, the bottons will still flash blue when pressed; all that changes when you remove the animation is the receding glow.
This was already known like weeks ago and AOKP is the only ROM you can do that on.

works but weird how entering the app drawer is slower than exiting it

I still see complaints about it scattered about various forums so I don't think the knowledge is as common as you seem to think it is. Thanks for clearing up the other ROMs question though.
People need to use the search function that's why!
Its a common issue on XDA, clutter.

Is there a home button in the browser?

Is there a way to hit a home button while in the browser. Like if I'm on eBay and I want to go back to my home page.
Why dont you just open a second tab?

.. not sure I understand the question. "Like if your on Ebay and want to go home" does touching the screen not bring up the nav bar with the home key? Why not just tap the home button??

I don't get a home button when I pull down the URL bar. I'm running paradigm jelly bean.

I meant just in general. When I'm browsing the web my nav bar stays at the bottom. I always have the option to "go back", "home", or "recent apps" ... never disappeared for me

He wants his homepage, not the home screen.
And to get there easily, just open a new tab. There is no button or menu item for it.

System applications without menu icons

Hello, I've got my nexus running xenon-hd and I've used the Rom settings to restore the traditional button arrangement I had on my captivate as you can see in the screen shot. My question is, with a menu button and search button now, is there a way to get rid of the three doors that appear on gapps like here in the messaging?
On jelly bean on my galaxy s 1, they weren't there because the phone has physical buttons. Not really a big deal, just curious. Thanks

I don't think it uploaded the picture correctly, trying again.
Nope, no dice, will try from my computer later, but for reference I mean this http://img.tapatalk.com/5224c050-7b59-f27b.jpg
Of course this isn't my phone, I have "menu, home, back, search" as the soft keys. But the three dots beside the attach icon are what I'm asking about removing
