Couldn't find the answer, so I'm going to ask here.
I'd like to use ADW, GoLauncher, or LPP, but it puts this black bar with 3 dots at the bottom of the screen that acts as a menu button. I'm seeing people post pics of their screens and the bar isn't there.
I'm wondering, how does one go about getting rid of this awful 3 dot bar?
There´s a patch for Sense Roms from blubber, search the apps thread here.

To disable indefinitely, if you're using a stock rooted rom, you can use this or this, depending on which version of ICS you're using.

Hello, all.
I have tried searching to no avail.
While experimenting with different roms, I know certain roms come with the app drawer reflecting 5 apps going across the phone instead of the stock 4. My question is: Is there some kind of flashable file that can make the app drawer show 5 apps going across it?
Thanks in advance.
I use adw launcher and it can hold 5

Yea, but I'm one of the few people that like Sense. I was hoping one of the devs had made a flashable file that I just wasn't able to find.
One thing thats different about android and WM is the fact that it isn't as easy to make a flashable file for ALL ROMs. What happens is in this case for example is the rosie.apk has been modified to show 5 x 5 icons. That rosie.apk also contains some the graphics that make up the rosie (some are in another apk as well). So what would have to happen is someone would have to create a rosie.apk for each style of rosie currently available or maybe someone would create the file just for you. They could most likely do it if they new what rosie you were using. In WM it was a simple modify a registry setting or add something to the registry.
OH and just as many people like Sense as people that don't. I like it.

I really like my first impressions with this new ROM.
1. After the initial install I switched over to launcher pro and lost the transparency
in the notification bar. Is there any way to get this back?
2. I am running the Koush test kernel. I have done quite a bit of research to try and find the perfect kernel combination, but there seems to be a lot of debate. I am obviously looking for speed and battery life coupled with the ability to listen to music while the screen is off without any skipping.
3. This is probably just a matter of time until this happens, but is there an alternate theme that changes all the menu's from white to black?
4. Are there any known battery notification skins that are compatible with MIUI? Looking for a circle battery icon.
Sorry for the list.

Warning: I'm a complete noob... so someone should confirm.
But from what I read on launcher pro's forums, LP doesn't extend the wallpaper through the area where the notification bar is. Is your bar black when you set to completely transparent?

I just installed Go Launcher Ex. Is it possible to have the normal moto dock with Go Launcher?
The normal moto dock has the blue and red buttons for dialer and contacts. I'm not very fond of the Go Launcher dock which has transparent buttons...
Help please?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Im not sure about getting the Motoblur buttons but there are plenty of themes available for GoLauncherEX. Just check out the GoStore and get another theme.
You can also simply long press on the dock icon and chose replace/Custom Icon to change the icon from the transparent ones to one of your choice, or pick default icon to choose the Apps default icon.
The more themes you have, the more icons you can pick from.
hope that helps
Stick with GoLauncher, its got so many good things
Check this out.
Thanks for your reply pprakash.
It doesn't create the desired effect . There's no option for transparent icons on GoLauncher...
Is there any way to replace the GoLauncher dock with the original Motorola dock? (3simple buttons for call,app drawer & contacts)??
The second attachement is the Transparent icons. You can replace the DOCK background with the first attachement in the post and the individual icons with the Transparent one. You need to set two places for same action. For Ex. Left two positions should be dialer and right two positions to be Contacts.
@Prakash: Dude you're a genius! Thanks to you it worked perfectly!! Now I have the same old Motorola dock with GoLauncher installed. This is awesome!
One more question: Is it possible to remove the "Home" button/icon that appears at the bottom of the app drawer? It takes up an entire row of space which could have been utilized to show more app icons. As it is I can use the capacitive button to go back to the homescreen anyway.

@gamefrk ... I am not genius. Just sharing back what I learnt here .. Regarding the Home Button .. Not yet. It can't be disabled anyway as of now. Probably you can contact GO team for that ... they may release it in future I think. The workaround I use is Vertical scrolling. This makes Home button to be un-noticed
Even I use vertical scrolling, the home button doesnt go unnoticed for me...

The picture I've attached explains it best. For comparison, I've put the original foto next to the screenshot.
You can see the upper shadow right above the clock (Minimalistic Text). The shadow on the bottom is right above the nav bar.
I'm using CM9 with Apex Launcher. No other mods regarding the homescreen.
Any ideas what is causing this and/or how to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Apex/Nova all have this.
There MAY be an option to remove it...haven't dug around too much.
There is a "Hide shadows" option in the Screen settings of Apex Launcher.
Sorry for being stupid.
No, no worries.
Sorry for being so lazy not to look
I removed all home screen pages on my S2 as you can see in the pic. The problem is, how do i get rid of the one white dot in the bottom of my home screen? It ruins my backgrounds and just irritates me.

Hi,
You can't get rid of that, as long Touch Wiz don't have an option do hide or change the white dots....
For that you'll need a launcher like Apex or Nova Launcher
And mate, you're posting in wrong section...

is there a different theme or launcher i could use, where everything is pretty much the same(the four bottom icons, etc.), but i can customize that dot outta there?
Apex launcher should be able to do it
New launcher.
Actually you can get rid of the page indicator, just edit the PNG file with GIMP. I just opened the files in GIMP and deleted the image and saved the transparent image.
There are four indicators in SecLauncher2.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi/

That's the hard way...he need to add a transparent channel in gimp, then erase the color or he need to find a transparent icon and rename it ....
But, i wonder why touch wiz has so many lack of options....
