Question about ADW Launcher

I searched some but could not find. I've been using LauncherPro so I'm kind of new to ADW and I've got two questions:
1) With the app drawer open, I made the icon to launch my app drawer disappear after I returned to the homescreen. How do I get it to re-appear? I know it had something to do with the arrows but I can't make it come back for the life of me.
2) Is there a way to keep the wallpaper from moving as I slide homescreens? That option is available in LauncherPro but I can't find it in ADW. If not, then is there a way to customize what part of my wallpaper appears on each homescreen?
I like the fact that ADW has themes. That's why I want to try and stick with it but I don't feel like I've mastered it at all yet. If there's a tutorial you could point out, that would help.
Thanks.

1) Put your finger in the area where your launcher icon should be and swipe down. Swiping up hides it.

Paradox ROM Questions

First of all, please don't kill me for posting questions that have already been answered as I've already tried looking for them but with such a big thread like that of the Paradox ROM, it's just impossible.
1. On the dock, I know it is possible to change the icons for applications. However, whenever I go into Preferences, I don't know which command to put nor how to switch the positions. Also, it is set to show 5 icons but only shows 4. Oh, and whenever I set it to 3, the remainder one doesn't show up on the application drawer.
2. It seems I'm not getting the best out of battery life. Is there something else I need to do or a mod that there is to install?
3. I think that's it for now. .-.
I would post this under the ROM thread but I can't because I'm new and stuff.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me out. c:

I use a different Launcher, but... TW 4.5 (which is what is installed) isn't necessarily finished - so yes, you have to manually remove the apps from the dock before you set the dock count to 3.
do you want to show 5 or 3 icons lol. you are asking about both.
5 icons: you have to add the 5th. when you first do, you can't move the application drawer icon, but it will jump to the middle, so just place your other apps accordingly: the one in the 4th position will end in the 5th, the one in the middle will end up in the 4th.
Battery Life - you running LOVE? or are you running mark 2 (can't remember the name of it) I get great life out of LOVE,..
btw - i run the sony ericson launcher (fixed one) and it's awesome lol. seems really snappy, and I just really like the little details (when you throw something on a homescreen away, the garbage can lid actually bounces, and it vibrates along with the bounce) that have been added. They just give a truly finished feel to the launcher.

Hm, lets go with 5.
How can I add the other one? Also, do I just get the launcher from the Market or do I have to flash anything?
I'm running LOVE. I just don't know what to do to it lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

hokay - make sure to select 5 icons in the preferences, go to the app drawer, click the menu softkey, click edit... drag an app to the dock. click save... I wouldn't doubt it if you're forgetting to do that.
It took me a while to find the sony launcher, and I dl'd it at work, so I can get back to you with a Dropbox link tomorrow. sorry, but I'm not burning my phone's data when i only have half a gig a month. It's something you just put onto your phones external (or internal) sd card, and install. super easy. but it's stuck at 5 screens - not modifyable in that sense.

Oh wow, thats easy lol
No problem. Do you also know where I could get the CM7 (or whatever) Launcher?
Btw, thanks a lot for helping!

I just switch home out and replace with ADW. you just drop icons from desktop to the spot where you want or long press and drag off what you don't.
They even have a bar with infinite shortcuts (scrolls) dunno if free one has this one but definitely has the 1 3 5 icon standard launcher.

find Zeam Launcher. it also has infinte dock, and it was made by an XDA member. it's my number... well... IDK. I really like it, but right now I'm running the corners. I also really like the AOSP launcher... as simple as it is, it's snappy.

Okay, will do.
thanks for all your help guys!

[MOD][JB] Removed. Feel free to delete this thread.

For anyone who flashed my modified launcher and is bothered by the fact that voice search can still be activated, here's the stock launcher in flashable zip form.
http://www.mediafire.com/?l89erxebp8n50bt
I apologize for any inconvenience or time wasted.
I've tried setting all focus and clickable attributes to "false" in every xml file that references "search bar", "qsb" and "voice search". Voice search can still be activated when you tap the top right corner of the screen.
Rather than let people install something that doesn't work as I intended it to (and there's another launcher mod on here anyway) I decided to take it down. If I figure it out some time, I'll repost, but I might not have to since FufNuf has the same thing going.
Check out FufNuf's thread for essentially the same launcher mods.
Mods, feel free to delete this post whenever you'd like.

Works great, ty!

Cool I'm glad you like it. When my kid goes to be tonight I'm going to edit the margins. I like having everything fill the screen more. I'll post a few with smaller margins.

Very nice,
*nod of approval*

Removed glowing indicator from single-screen launcher, added three wide launchers.

What is a wide launcher?

See the screenshot. Widgets, the dock, dock icons, dock divider, and app grid fills more of the screen. I didn't know what else to call it. Since it's a launcher, and everything is spread out over a wider area, the most logical short name I could think of at 2AM was "wide launcher".

Awesome, margins would be a bit better if smaller.
Also I noticed that the top right corner of the screen glows as you move between home screens and when you press that corner Google voice search comes up. It's as if the search bar is still there, just not visible.

I just followed the directions on that tutorial and thought I'd share what I did for myself. That's really weird, and not good. Thanks for telling me. If I can't figure out how to completely disable the search bar, I'll just take this whole thread down.
Update: Actually I think I've got it. Testing now, then I'll take down all the links, fix them all, then reupload them

Is there an app or widget that can do this?

I am trying to find an app..or see if its something I can do with UCCW. Id like to have a "folder" on my home screen that can scroll through the apps I put in there. For example, if I make a folder that goes across the home screen and label it games. I can put my games in and swipe through to see them. I guess best way I can explain is something like Nova's dock how you can just have a few pages to swipe through but your still on home screen.

You're able to swipe to open folders in Nova Launcher There is a possibility that you may need to purchase the premium version of it however.

You're going to need to elaborate on it. I tried to understand your question, but I myself am having some difficulty understanding you.

If I'm understanding you you want a widget that you can customize with apps to scroll thru that's how I interpreted that. If you find a solution please share

Pretty much that's it. I think you got what I meant. I don't explain it to well. Anyone ever use stardock Fences for windows? Guess that's the closest I can think of. Just picture placing 4 or 5 icons horizontally across your home screen. Then I can label it games. Then I can scroll left or right to scroll through all my games but I'm still on the home screen. If I find one I'll let ya know. There has to be a way with UCCW I just don't know how to use it well enough

In the Play Store look for Folder Organizer by Fabio Collini. I was able to create a 4x1 folder for games. I can swipe up and down to scroll through. However I could not swipe left and right and the swiping is not in an endless loop. Closest thing to what you are looking for that I know of. I have the paid version and do not know if the Lite version can do the same or not.

OmniSwitch only appears in Omni ROMs. Hence the name OmniSwitch in the title. If you want to get that, you could always look at the unofficial OmniROM thread in this subforum here. If you don't want to lose your current ROM that you're using, OmniSnitch is the alternative that you're looking for.

I use omniswitch on most of the ROMs I run. If they don't have it I just flash the apk. Always works for me.

Weather Widget Missing

For the life of me, I can't seem to find where to turn on the weather widget on the home screen of my 2 XL. I really like the stock launcher and on online reviews, I see the weather widget sitting next to the calendar widget. However, after trying to find it and conducting research, no dice.
Not sure if it matters, but I do have 1Weather installed and the temperature displaying in my notification shade.
Again, I'm using the stock launcher and just want to be able to see the weather widget sitting next to the calendar widget on the home screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I came here searching for the same answer.

Weird, every pixel 2 I've seen just has it there by default. Maybe try clearing app data for the launcher?

When I tried out the pixel launcher on my 5x, I could long press the date and it showed options. I think there were 2 check boxes. One for calendar alerts and one for something else. But the weather widget is not part of the launcher so it didn't show. But maybe is for phones that have it installed.

I was searching for the widget app and the first search suggestion is widget not working. Solution seems to just be download launcher again for most people.

Thanks a TON!!!
This is what fixed it for me "Open the google page to the left and use the hamburger menu and select customize. Select "everything else" at the bottom. Find anything that says weather and set it to yes."

None of the solutions are working for me. I even tried grabbing the Pixel Launcher from APK Mirror (because I can't uninstall or update it in the Play Store ~ system app).
Additionally, I don't see "everything else" at the bottom of my customize section of the Google app.

My pixel 2 XL should be here Friday. Im planning to use Nova launcher. I wonder if Googles weather widget will work with it? If it doesn't hop someone can patch the APK.

As far as Nova launcher gotta this is the first time since I've been using Android I'm satisfied, with the stock launcher.

I've been testing out the Pixel 2 Launcher on a different device. You have to enable Location access then search "weather" on your Google Now page. Once it there, try adding the shortcut to your home screen. Go back to your google now feed and refresh it. It should show a small weather bar as the first and it should show the weather on the widget.

No dice on this method; a small weather shortcut is placed on the home screen, but doesn't "shift" into what I've seen on other 2's and 2 XL's. I'm beginning to think there may be a software bug with the launcher. Thanks for the suggestion though!
With that said, surely I am not the only one who is experiencing this small issue. I don't know...

Have you tried refreshing your Google feed after getting your weather? It should look like this. See that small weather bar on the 2ns screenshot? Once that shows up, the weather on the widget does too. Takes a couple of refreshes.

On my 2 XL, this is what my Google screen looks like. As you can see, I don't have a weather bar like yours; and I can't find a way to add it either. Also, location is turned on with anything associated to weather and the Google screen. Hmm, this is interesting, lol.

Try going into your Google App's Settings. Look for Google Assistant then look for the My Day menu. Check the Weather check box if you haven't. Maybe this could enable it. Then refresh your Google feed.

From the home screen swipe left and get to the Google now page. In the top right corner you will see the 3 dots, click it and select customize feed. Scroll down to weather and select view all settings. Then check weather updates for your location. This worked for me. Hope this helps
