I accidentally replace the App Drawer shortcut on my middle dock icon with my cam, how do I get the App Drawer shortcut back? I tried resetting AWD but its still there!
. anyone? .
i did the same. seems to be a new 'feature' of ADW located at Menu -> Settings -> ADW -> UI Settings -> Main Dock Style
i was able to get the desired center icon back by toggling to a 3 button bar then back to a 5 button bar. you could also try restoring a prior adw backup.

the issue is I'm already using 5 button layout so when i change to 3 and then back to 5 it does not give me any empty slots because there all use up. I do not want to do a nandroid backup for something as silly as this.. theres gotta be a easier way.
Isn't there a App Drawer shortcut Icon I can put on homescreen and then drag to middle dock icon?
Long press on your home screen, custom shortcut, pick your activity, launcher actions, open close app drawer, okay.
Drop it where ever you want.

I bet you did it while trying to trash a shortcut , instinctively the drag goes to the old location of the trash can. Happened to me twice and was able to correct it like neckface described it.

Hi, I want to know how can I change or switch the lower apps like the original rom "message" app to let's say "Handcent" and from "mail" to "Gmail".
thanks...
I'm running Epic Venom Rom
Open app drawer, then press Settings (soft button) > Edit. You may be asked to switch, so do that if prompted. You can now change the lower 4 (or 5) icons to any installed app.
Is this what you're talking about?

You are right on that one. The correct sequence is to hold the power button, then press the home button.
Some other tricks that made my user experience better were:
Limit your data or set a data limit warning. Great feature. It only monitors data over the mobile network, however you can show the wifi data as well if you wish. Some ROMS have had this in the past, however it was sometimes unreliable.This is a built in sense 4.0 feature and works great.
Disable "Auto Review" in camera settings>continuous shooting mode. This will give you the best burst shooting experience and you will be able to easily switch to different camera modes, without the annoying best shot feature popping up. Also disable Limit to 20 frames to get up to 99 continuous photos.
Go to settings>more>nfc Enable nfc and scan your smart credit cards or any nfc tag, or nfc enabled phone.
If you use face unlock, go to settings>security>screen lock>face unlock>improve face matching. It drastically improves the time it takes for your phone to recognize your face.
Try out the friendstream lockscreen. Its pretty cool, some people may hate it, others may love it.
Hope this helps

Power Button and Volume down works as well it a ICS Tweak works on most of the ICS Models. Just tested it. Hold your power button + Volume down for around 3 seconds it will take a screenshot
Hi,
I came from a HTC desire which had a track pad so I am not sure if this is a new thing.
But to move the cursor left or right while typing, you can press the volume up / down to move it. Found it pretty helpful.
For the HTC swype keyboard which is swype on a much bigger keyboard.
Go to settings, keyboard. Then HTC input and enable the trace feature. It's replaced swype for me now.

There are total of seven screen to attach apps or widgets. In case you use only 5, you can remove the unused screens.
Press the unused screen, there will be an option there.

Stop sense 4.0 from craxhing
If you worry about the laggy sense 4.0:
settings
development section
Don't keep activities
It is unticked by default. Tick it (I went on recent apps to make sure it would be saved, then back) and untick it again. Seems to be a fault in the indication of the settings, because only now I got my phons as fast as expected.
Made my laggy sense go away and the fun has really started for me now.
After a total power off it is still working fine.
Great Hints! Just one question:

I'm very interested in NFC payment, and I have a smart card. When I enable NFC and place the card on the phone, I get a beep. But it doesn't look like anything's happened. I'm pretty dubious about downloading an app from the market which scans my card. Is there a real world use for this yet? Or an official, trustworthy app?

Sorry but you sound little confusing. Do you mean that option should be ticked and then unticked again and this will remove laggy sense?.

The both ways are right. Power button + Volume down 2sec. is the "pure" feature of ICS, screenshots are saved in /sccard/pictures/screenshots.Power button and then home button (keep holding power button) is the HTC Sense feature, images are saved in /sdcard/dcim. That is the different.

Sort by Alphabet
Settings>>General>>Main Screen
Click right side of Oppo Launcher
Took me a while to find that one myself. Of course then it didn't work, apps didn't sort at all but it fixed itself after I reinstalled the beta and it would then sort them. Just an FYI in case you hit the button and nothing happens.

It's odd that I have nothing under Settings>General>Main Screen as in I don't have a "Main Screen", but if I am in the app drawer and I long press an icon (they start wiggling) and at the bottom in green you can tap it to put them in alphabetical order.

No, you don't. When its working they will immediately sort themselves, when something is hosed they won't restart or no. As to the fellow above you are on 1.2, they changed it in the beta to an option in the main settings and the drawer no longer sorts by a long press in the drawer.
Thanks lagunabad. I have been struggling to get TWRP on here, so I hadn't put the beta on yet. Finally got TWRP on just now, so I'll see what everyone else sees.

Hi there, something from the Menu disappoints me... Maybe someone is having a hint or a hack!
As you can see in the screenshot there is always the option for the Standard Application activated. In some cases I (maybe some other as well) i want to use aother app the next time. And If you forget it... its standard..
How can I disable the dialog, that the next used app will be used as default?
Anybody?
Cheers
Does nobody having this as an issue ?
hmmmm ^^
I have. But didn't find any solution for it...
If what I understand from you is correct, you want the menu to always appear every time, correct? What you have to do, is not to use the "OK" button at the bottom of the menu. Just double tap the app that you want to use. This way, the menu will always appear every time.
Use app picker classic on the play store
