Hello DZ users,
i said good bye to the stock rom on my DZ and tested CM9 RC1 for a while and now i am on Andromadus Mimicry v1.1.2 - and it seems that I will stay there for now.
But I'm missing the home screen switching by touching the home button. After touching the button nothing happens. Both the stock rom and CM9 have the possibility to display all 5 homescreens as thumbnails and you are able to rearrange them.
During installation with AROMA installer I choosed "Search to Recent apps" and "Sense 4.0 Style Multitasking" for UI modifications. Then I selected the Trebuchet Launcher. Are these selections the reason why the home switch button does nothing? Or was the home screen switching removed in purpose? Should I switch to APEX launcher?

My experience w/ Trebuchet is very limited (I use Nova), but I was under the impression you could configure that kind of preview w/ the home button on Trebuchet. Regardless, you can do as such w/ Nova (and much more, I recommend it a lot!), so give that a try if it's not possible with Trebuchet.
Hope you enjoy the rom
Trebuchet is very limited which is a shame being that the cyanogenmod team is behind it, That aside I've tried both nova and apex launchers for a number of days before coming up with a conclusion.
Nova launcher is for 'advanced' users everything from settings to options and more is very disorganized. I had to search over and over to find a specific feature or setting. . .
With Apex launcher everything is right there in front of you, The settings are under the right categories where they should be, Apex launcher is more 'basic' everything is able to be customized. Using Nova there was some settings I wasn't able to change and support from the dev team was unhelpful.

Whenever I select the phone feature in the dock (on the home screen) it states "Application not Installed." There is no settings for Android Launcher or dragging over the app to replace the existing one doesnt work either. I'm assuming i'll have to uninstall with titanium and restore it but i dont have the basic launcher. Can someone tell how to place that icon on the home page or just reflash/reinstall android launcher?
thanks
the stock launcher is not customizable. You have to either have the AOSP dialer installed, or that button will not work.
I'm sure someone could modify the stock launcher to work with the sense dialer (it is open source after all) but I haven't ever seen it done.
Launcher Pro and ADW are both built off the stock launcher, so there isn't much of a downside to using one of them.
I would like to have the notification bar off the (top of the) screen so I can have a full screen. If I want to see it I would just touch the top and it would appear and drag down as usual to see notification bar. I do not want to change my launcher as I would rather modify that one feature only.
If anyone could direct me how to do this on my own or with an already available application I would be very grateful.
Im on stock (rooted) G2 Tmobile Rom.
Yo I know you said you didn't want to change your launcher BUT if your using LauncherPro like 90% of the rest of the android community give Go Launcher a shot, it has the almost the EXACT same features as LP but it also includes the ADW ability to set actions for swipe up and down on the home screen (not just the dock) so you can hide the bar and then set down swipe on the home screen to pull down notifications, that's what I do
I just use ADW Launcher, it works very well, i don't care to change launcher.
LOL you don't wanna change your Launcher hmm ur a tuff cookie guy. Joking but for real Launcher Pro is the Best well in my opinion.
I like adw, more customizability. You can do it on lots of launchers but as far as I know you can't do it outside of the launcher. What launcher are you using now? Stock?

I will not take sides, but adw ex have more options in settings than LP. and can I ask where you read that 90% of users use android LP?
Yea it seems that I needed to replace my rom to fix it as it was a rom based feature.. thank you for all your assistance.
Hey XDA community,
I have been searching for the smoothest experience there can be with a launcher (speed, features, etc) recently. Many I have come across (go launcher, launcherpro, or my current ROM has ADW (CM7.1)) have the ability to edit the applications you can stick in the dock bar, but some do not. For instance, I love the minimalistic gingerbread launcher but you can not edit the stock launcher dock at all, stuck with the dialer and browser as default dock applications. Another launcher that I recently discovered, regina 3d is quite simply amazing but again it does not give me the ability to do something as simple as edit the dock applications which I find is quite ignorant of the developer to leave such a needed/necessary feature out/ignored.
My questions to the community...does anyone know of a way to edit the stock launcher/non-stock launchers dock bars that do not allow you to drag and drop/edit the applications placed in the dock.
Thank you for anytime put into replying to my post.
Yes and no. The remap is possible, but it won't be drag-and-drop like ADW or launchers like that. If you have one specific app you want remapped to one of the buttons, I can help you get it set up.
Hi Godsmacked4653. I would like to map the stock text app to the left button and google talk to the right button in the stock launcher.
I am running Elelinux gingerbread on a Hero and the performance benefits of using a minimalist configuration outweigh any benefits of custom launchers. The only thing I really miss from custom launchers is the ability to remap the dock.
Is it also possible to remap the left and rightmost dock buttons that scroll the homescreens?
Thanks.
im currently running cm7 and was wondering if there was anyway of having more pages and how to change the main dock
You can get some changes by changing some settings in Menu>Settings>ADWlauncher
But I'll suggest getting another home application like GO Launcher EX which is much more customizable.
will that give me more pages and a sense like launcher with the curve
I'm using GO launcher EX and I can add as much pages as I want

the CM7 launcher has up2 7 pages that you can add and remove as necessary. Press "menu" on the home page then press "edit"
If you want to change the dock, there are a few styles in ADW Settings but search 'custom docks' in the forum search bar, there are loads of customizable options.
Launcher Pro Plus seems to be the best option (paid launcher pro)
I'm happy with ADW laucher.
plenty of launchers to use, choose the one you like and customize as needed.
So I updated to miui 14 and the option to lock apps is not available anymore. In previous versions you would just hold the app down in the recents list and then the options would come up to to lock the app or not.
I have two identical phones and it is the case in both of them.
Ok it seems the option has just gone in Nova Launcher if I revert back to the normal system launcher the options are there!
So a temporary work around until Nova Launcher is updated is to switch to the system launcher and lock apps there and then switch back to to Nova Launcher.
I have now contacted Nova Launcher to see see whether this can be implemented

I have the same issue, and that what i do too. there is no other troubleshoot yet.
when playing with four fingers, the navigation bar opens with the notification bar even with the option of do not disturb as I anchor to the game without interruptions
