[Q] Dumbest Question in the history of XDA - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

OK, OK.... slight exaggeration in the title, but not by much...
I'm running CM10.1 on my E4GT "Spider Man edition" (cracked screen, almost due for Sprint upgrade, waiting it out instead of TEP'ing)
Anyway, I was in the "Manage Apps" screen, uninstalling a few barely-used apps after sorting by size, trying to free up some storage and memory, and somehow, I "lost" the center icon in my doc on the home screen. You know - the white circle with all the little white dots in it, representing the app drawer. Trebuchet is still in my app list. I'm feeling pretty damn stupid, because I CANT FIGURE OUT how to get it back! It should be the most simple thing in the world to figure out how to put it back, right? I started under system settings/Launcher, and worked my way through every page and sub-page, but no luck. Can somebody please throw me a bone in exchange for a thanks? Or shoot me in the head through my laptop screen and put me out of my misery? I'll be sitting here, hitting refresh on this post every few minutes, watching last Sunday's Breaking Bad episode for the 3rd time.
*GOD*.... I am SOOO gonna miss that show when it's gone for good in 7 more weeks, best show that's ever been on TV... *****es.
Mods who don't know Breaking Bad: The reference to female dogs in my last sentence in is homage to a catch-phrase of one of the main characters in the show - it's not just for gratuity.
"SAY MY NAME.... You're damn right." Heh.

Ahh crap - I guess I shoulda put this in the Q&A forum - sorry mods. Do what ya gotta do obviously.

Couldnt you long press where your wallpaper is. There is something like add or launcher actions there. You put that on your screen. Then long press over it and drag it to your dock.

I got you bro. Here's a step by step solution.
From the home screen press the menu key.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now select System Settings.
In the settings select Apps.
Scroll to the right to show all apps and find Trebuchet.
Once you're in the Trebuchet settings, clear cache and data.
Now you should have your icon to launch the app drawer, you will need to set up any widgets you had again.

Unfortunately that doesn't work with Trebuchet. Only third party launchers such as Nova or Apex. Here's what you see when you long press the home screen with Trebuchet...

Trebuchet launcher that comes with CyanogenMod has come very far from what it used to be, it still has a lot of potential if the CM team continues to add features it could replace third party launchers such as Nova or Apex since it seems like they have been taking away features that used to be available in the free versions. Seems like they have shifted their focus from offering more features for free to now wanting money for said features.

Whoah..... I mean, it worked (thanks given), but it's not just my widgets that disappeared.; It took away every single app shortcut, folder, and widget from ALL of my homescreens. Was there *really* no other way I could have gotten back the app drawer launcher icon? Really? REALLY? No, seriously.... R.E.A.L.L.Y.????
Not directing frustration at your fix - you answered my question and fixed my problem. I just can't believe that there haven't been enough people who've inadvertently deleted the app drawer icon from the dock to motivate the Trebuchet Dev to create an option to put it back without wiping out the entire front-end of the phone. At least i KNOW how I'll be spending the rest of my night. Holy crap!!!

I guess that's motivation to request that the CM team adds a few more features to Trebuchet... Features such as backup/restore, home screen actions, etc.
I'll share this on G+ with the CyanogenMod community to raise awareness.

Funny, I really like the sake foot. Makes me laugh.
As far as the op's issue, I know you already had it reset, but I am wondering if changing how many icons were down in the dock would have brought it back?
Edit: now that I have the new xda app, I can't attach pictures, so ...

I appreciate your offer and realize that you probably get requests more for creating wallpapers, but I was hoping you could help me with a "resizing wallpaper" problem. This is the original image that I want to make into a properly sized wallpaper for a stock T989;
However, I can't get it sized so that the center desktop, (desktop 4), has the entire image of the band name centered correctly. No matter what I tried, the B and the I are always cut off, and the partial letters appear on desktops 3 and 5. Is there a way to size this correctly without losing either too much of the image, or messing up the aspect ratio so that the band name is centered cleanly on desktop 4? (It almost seems like the answer would be to extend the image right and left a bit.. I don't know..)
Thanks..

This is doable, are you using the stock Touchwiz launcher?
Also the Gears of War 3 Wallpaper is almost done. Turns out live wallpapers are not as hard to make as i thought.

Yep. It's a completely stock T989, so stock Touchwiz launcher.
Thanks again for looking into this..

It looks good on the phone, you may have to when setting it move it around but it does fit.
So how do you make live wallpapers?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
There is a couple ways you can use Eclipse and the Android ADT Dev plugins and SDK or there is a little tool that makes life alot easier.
Is there a way to make them without a computer?

I don't know if you've seen the boot animation from the Juggernaut rom, but it shows the Galaxy "S" logo pulsating colors, that would make a sweet wallpaper.

Sort of. It has more colors, and the pulse effect was a little different. If I knee how to work with the format I would just post the boot animation, but I don't even recognized the extension.

Searched and didn't see any threads about it.
It's pretty badass...
It's like a mix of W7 and Android..
Give it a shot, I love it so far.. Takes a little bit to get used to it..
Any feedback? What do you guys think?

Wow..thats neat..gonna try it now!
Let me know how you like it.. I really love it so far.. haven't got that deep with it yet though..
I do know its fast as @#$#, and smooth..
Uses almost no memory..
Coming from the Golauncher
I also use golauncher, and yeah its fast, i especially love the hot apps page
Is there a way to remove the credits one? lol
I also cant seem to get rid of icons for certain shortcuts, like i link the mail one to gmail, and the gmail icon gets stuck there.
Looked interesting. Kind of reminded me of Titanium for WinMo 6.5 a while back.
I wanted to give it a try but it FC'd after trying to add the messaging app on the first page. Maybe it's not meant to run on custom ROMs (I'm on Darkside 2.2a).
its my main launcher now
I removed the credits page, played around with some of the functions and its to die for
It also has the 'app hide' feature to keep the app drawer clean(which is the most important feature to me and will not touch a launcher that does not have it)
Good find. ty OP!

I'm rooted and stock..
Don't know why but this sucks!

web os style tasking built into ICS!!

I may be super late to this, but came across it yesterday, while inside an app, in landscape, holding down the home key brings all the running apps up in a way where you can cycle back in forth b/t running apps, and flick them up off the screen!
if im late, just disregard. loving ICS more and more everyday lol

I saw this in one of qbking's ROM installation videos but he moved so fast through it (because the video wasn't about task swiping) I was like "wait, what was that?!" lol I love this feature and of course his videos rock!
I've seen posts regarding it but I'd be hard pressed to point out where.
No need to be in landscape either. It does it all the time.
Its actually recent apps not just running. A 3.0 feature but as far as the swipe off the screen I do not know if thats new or not.
haha didnt realize you could swipe the app of the screen. f-in DOPE!
Yea this was introduced in honeycomb but swiping to end app is new to ics

The swiping is pretty awesome but I love that AOKP allows you to make portrait a vertical swipe.

I discovered this and it is one of my Favorite Features. Used it a Ton with Maps/GPS Status before GPS actually worked. Maybe someone can clarify to me if you swipe it to the Right vs. the Left does it behave differently?

Oh that I thought it was horizontal
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
When you think of horizontal, think of the horizon (flat) or landscape. Vertical is standing (portrait), as in some of us (me) are vertically challenged (i.e. short).
My totally unnecessary post of the day.
I have personally found the ICS implementation to be overall slower than the GB task switching. Anand from anandtech agrees in a recent review. I suspect that it will be slower still as devices beef up the RAM, resulting in more open processes, and a lot more vertical scrolling.
I quite liked the webOS implementation of card stacking. This may find its way into post ICS versions of Android as a measure to mitigate this issue.

Here's my setup that I've been using for a while now. Sorry it's so big but I have to post it all for full effect, haha. I moved it over from my last phone, just changed a few things. It goes lock screen, then screens 1-7 with 4 being the default. The games screen used to have invisible folders and when you touched the words the folders popped up, but i deleted a lot of games and haven't decided what I want to do with that page yet.
Nova launcher Prime with Multipicture live wallpaper. Custom Icons built into custom backgrounds. Then blank.png for the actual icons.
Widgets: mostly Android Pro Widgets with Minimal Magic Skins. PowerAMP on media screen. Simi clock on main screen.
I wanted something different, asthetically pleasing, but functional. Inspiration came from a post on mycolorscreen.com but I can't find it now. Sorry.

Facebook phone loos like just a launcher!

The new facebook phone looks like a launcher on top of android.
Looks really cool and it would be awesome if it can be ported over to our S3
I don't know how I would feel about Facebook being a launcher/phone having access to our entire phone..
Can you say maximum bloatware? I think most people would find it annoying
Zuckerburg wants people to live and breathe Facebook 24/7. And minus teenage girls and attention whores...I'd say an app is just fine

It doesn't need to be ported. From what I understand it's exactly as you said, a launcher. It's going to be available for download from the Play Store.

Not sure how better/worst fb is than Google just saying. Since many of us have Facebook installed anyway I am not sure how much worst a fb phone/launcher would be

Good point, though at least with Google I feel a little more in control of my information. Each app is by itself and asks permission to do something. At the same time it integrates nicely with everything. Google Now is very customizable and I have it tuned to just find certain info. Sometimes though, I wish I knew why Maps feels the need to access my GPS so often...but at least with that I can just shut my GPS off completely. Countless times I've opened up chat on facebook, and I always turn off the GPS function because honestly I don't need people to know exactly where I am just because I'm chatting with them. It always turns itself back on no matter how many times I change it to default OFF in the settings, and it always bugs me to turn my GPS on.
I always feel the need to check my privacy settings on Facebook since they have a bad habit of changing them and "accidentally" fixing my settings so more of my stuff is out there. I'm very reluctant to only share what I know I'm sharing, I approve every picture and post I'm tagged in or that has my name on it whatsoever. Honestly I don't trust Facebook more than I don't trust Google.

It might be a nice & cheap phone for custom ROMs. Never mind stock bloatware if the hardware is good.
If price/performance is good it could sell very well. H/W is HTC so quality is likely at least decent.
If that and the bootloader is unlockable, and the phone ROM'able, I'd expect to see custom ROMs getting built eventually.
EDIT: I see it's $450 off contract. There are probably better options in that price area IMO, such as an "old" Galaxy S3, if not now then soon.
And guess what ? I've read that there will be ads all over that launcher/phone thanks god Adaway exists.

Facebook goes to our contact list anyway; it showed me option to add friend to a person who is on my contact on phone but not on facebook.
So it might do same on other side too. Its dangerous to all.
It is a launcher but it will only work on 4.0 and up but its being released for a huge line of devices including mainly HTC and Samsung as they are the supporting companies. The lock screen features are cool I just wish it was for something other than Facebook.

It will have ads also... Constantly polling with data... Goodbye battery.

It would have been a lot better if it was like a custom rom based of cm. like MIUI. but a Launcher really! Im also surprise that they dont have the N4 or the GNexus as their supported devices for the launcher and the icons doesnt seem to be vanilla JB but ICS. It would be a huge fail if they released this phone with ICS. Facebook app have bugs in it. Imagine having a phone that will run facebook home as default.

It was the worst 5 minutes of my time when I was playing with it. But it would be nice to use it as a live wallpaper
