[Q] cm11 launcher: how to increase pages and create folders? - HTC Wildfire S

Hello,
the launcher of cm11 only has two pages/panels and does not seem to support folders.
With Trebuchet launcher of cm9 this was still supported pretty fine. Or did I overlook anything?
Is there any tip from anybody how to configure that?...
Thank you very much.

Just drag an icon or widget to the right(from the rightmost page) to create a new page. And folders can be made by putting one app icon on another

Thank you very much. That's it.
My girl-friend found it out today also. I failed before after several tries.
Anyway a little info text within the launcher would have helped here! Cause I suppose I am not the only one who has problems with that...
Do you also know?...
* where to set the order option of the icon overview screen? (there is NO settings -> personalization -> Homescreen option in my version!!) I cannot find how to set it to alphabetical order.
* how to move the icons order manually?
* how to set the HOME desktop panel? When I press Android Home button always the most left panel is selected instead of the middle one.
Thank you very much for your help.

I don't use the stock CM launcher, but I'm pretty sure pressing the menu button will get some options if they exist

[Q] ADW.Launcher - Dock Icon Reflections

I've seen this in screenshots and mentioned in forum posts but I can't find a theme or setting that enables it.
How do I get the reflections under the dock icons in ADW.Launcher?
Found the answer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7845287&postcount=2175
Thanks EindhovenOne!
I am not able to make it work, I'm running 1.1.3 version.
Lento...try updating to the latest version, and make sure you have the settings from the screenshot as they appear. The hardest part is getting the swipe motion on the app dock icon exactly right, it is very touchy to be honest. Post back if you can't get it after a few tries and we'll go from there.

I have the latest installed 1.1.3, where can I find the screenshot with the settings? I'm not able to see it.
Edit1: found it, weird can't see the screenshots from my computer, but I actually was able to look at them from my phone.
Edit2: Not able to see from the pictures, which options you have check.
Edit: got it working, thanks
Hello I'm new at the forum I've notice the post about the icons reflection in the dock bar. I have the latest version of AWD Launcher EX but this feature is not present or at least I can not find it. Can someone point me in the right direction or I just doing something wrong. Thank you in advance
To customize the Dock bar in ADW Ex: Menu, ADW Settings, UI Settings, Main Dock, Dock Background, Custom
Then select wherever you saved the new dock you want to use.
To add icons to the dock bar (if you were asking about that too), I would just add the app to your desktop, long-click it, click on the existing icon and replace it. Then drag the new app icon to your dock bar.
EDIT:
I just reread your question: if you're just looking for the "hidden" dockbar, I think the default setting is to do a short swipe up on the main dockbar. That should expose the hidden one. Setting for this hidden dockbar are located in the same general area as the steps I listed a few lines up (just called Hidden Dockbar).
Thanks
That works really great...so hidden dock bar is the one that reflect the icons...COOL!. I think they should implement the same function for the standard dock. Plus if they add the folder manager in the app drawer like the one in GO Launcher Ex and the option to replace the apps icons like other far more simple Launchers on the market, AWDLauncher will be the best launcher without any question. I think that the developers should think about those options.

[Q] Menu Labels are missing

When I hit the menu button, the menus come up but without any labels. If the only thing there is text, then the nothing shows up in the menu.
Labels are visible everywhere else; home screen, app drawer, etc. It is ONLY when I hit the menu button that I lose them. When I tap the actual menu item that I want, the text appears, but that's a little late to help.
Any idea how to get the menu labels back or what might have turned them off in the first place?

Most of that was in my signature:
SkyRaider 3.0.0 RC3 Vanilla
Rooted and Unrevoked Forever
ADWLauncher
Sorry, XDA's tapatalk does not show sigs.
Unfortunately, though, I do not have the answer.
My bad - didn't realize that it didn't show up everywhere...
Solution
In case anyone is interested, the problem turned out to be a theme applied through metamorph. I replaced it with a different one and the labels are back.

ICS Issues....

Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM
Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol
Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!
Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.
What recovery are you using?

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.
Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

When doing this method when you get to the app hold it don't tap it.

Shortcut to CM9 Profiles on homescreen?

Any way to create a shortcut to the Profiles on CM9? I'd like to put it on my homescreen for fast switching. Thanks in advance.

Well, I had an idea of how I might be able to help you if you use Apex. It didn't work. Instead I found a shortcut to a little CM easter egg. At least I've never seen it or heard it mentioned...
With Apex, long press on the home screen. Tap "Select Shortcut", then "Activities", Scroll down to "Settings" and click the arrow to expand it into a list. Scroll to "CIDCircus" and select it. You'll have to remember where on your home screen you created the shortcut, because it has no icon, so it is basically invisible. But then click it.
I'll keep looking around to see if I can help you, but if you want a third party way to do it I highly recommend Profile Scheduler. There is a free version you could use to see if you like it. It doesn't do the app groups, but I've never used that functionality so I don't miss it.
Edit: Just found out how to directly access that easter egg. Maybe this was already known: In System Settings > About Phone > CyanogenMod version tap it over an over like the normal android easter eggs, then long press on the logo after.

[Q] Menu/widget - Jellytime-CM10

Hi guys a little question.
I can lock the menu in jallytime or CM10?
I mean. we all know that scrolling in the menu at some point we get in widgets.
I want to lock it, that is accessed only by the widget button in the menu and not simply browsing the menu.
I would like the menu ended with the app and not to go beyond in widget
is it possible?
many thanks

In cfX, it's Settings -> Launcher -> Drawer -> uncheck Join with apps. I'd imagine it's the same in any other ROM also using Trebuchet (instead of the standard launcher), which I'm pretty sure JT and CM10 also use.
