Within Nova Settings > Home Screen, you can set 'Transition effect' to None. That's how I like it.
However, it appears this can no longer be done in Nova Settings > App drawer. The only 'Transition animation' options there are now Zoom, Slide up and Fade.
Each of these makes accessing the app drawer feel slow.

How do I disable the dock bar hide/ show swipe feature. Also lock will not go away, I've tried disabling it with the widget and also with no lock app but doesn't work. I'm on the latest rc of cm6.

Menu > Settings > ADW Launcher settings > UI Settings > Then uncheck the "Dockbar" option.
I dont think its a CM7 issue, but as the default launcher is ADW, Ill ask here first.
The main dock (with action buttons) gets removed from the screen if inadvertently 'swiped'
When it disappears, it leaves a darkened line across the bottom of the screen. Some random prodding and swiping seems to reinstate it some times, but its a bit flakey.
a) If the desktop is locked - why is this item easily removed?
b) whats the correct action to get it back on screen if its lost?
Any ideas?
Its an annoying feature of adw
Swipe down dock goes off n a new dock where u can put other app shortcut
SWIPE UP to get the main dock back
I dont remember how to disable it
I use LPP
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App
To disable it: Settings > ADW Launcher > UI Settings > Uncheck "Hidden Dockbar". Done.
Hmm that works.
A little counter-intuitive perhaps as its already checked to start with (and the dockbar shows) but unchecking it certainly seems to work! Thanks

Same problem...
I had the same issue with Pac-Man Rom on my GT-I9105P.
Seems to occur less often after I activated the "Pinch to enable expanded desktop" option in Settings -> Pac-Man -> Home screen -> General
Don't know why, though. Just played around with some settings to see if it gets better.
This seems to be a common bug of Trebuchet.
You can completely avoid it by installing a different launcher (like Apex Launcher).
If you want an app drawer on your edge screen use this....

It should of been an option from stock... Just add it to your quicklauunch edge screen.,
It works great with a secondary launcher if you wanna hide the dock on the homescreens.
Note: Hold the menu button within the app to change settings and font.

Thanks! I Just changed dpi to 300 with Xposed App Settings and it looks pretty good too!
Thanks for posting, but the drawer takes forever to load and can't be customized. There are much better options available.

Hi. That's weird. Mine comes up immediately. For customization you need to open the app drawer and then do a long press of recent apps to get to a menu to select settings. Then you can change fonts, background color and such. What are some of the better options available? Always interested in checking out new apps! Unity launcher is nice in that you can set up shortcuts (including floating windows with the use of the app "floating window shortcuts")

I mentioned holding the button in the OP. Thanks for reposting though. Thought it was a bad omission on Samsung's part.
Yeah didn't know about the paid one either, but hey its what this forums for, right? Mine is quick as well. Easy to customize.
I'am looking for a way that i can make on my home screen 5x5 for my icons.
Is this possible and what i can used for it.?
Ehhh... Is there a way to just have a "system" friendly shortcut icon to launch the app drawer? In other words, I already use a nice launcher app and I like its look and want to just open my app drawer to be the same as when I open it using the android app dock, not having this whole miui layer...
Currently using Next Launcher, but the launcher I use is irrelevant, I just want a system level call to open my normal app drawer rather than have an entire app represent the drawer. Another UI to manage is not what I want, as it is unaware of theme or font changes.
Isn't there a way to simply make a shortcut icon and put it in my edge bar.????????

Have you tried or are willing to use a replacement launcher? I use Next Launcher which lets you control the icon grid spacing both on the home screen desktop and in the app drawer plus let's you have fine pixel resizing of widgets (widgets normally only resize in blocks spaced as wide as your icons, but this app lets you resize widgets pixel by pixel for finer control)
Many launchers also offer this flexibility not just the one I mention. Check them out! I hope I understood your question properly! (Next launcher also let's you change the icon look, the screen transition animation, and many other things. It looks great and is compatible with all themes made for Go launcher. Furthermore, it restores touch wiz's lost wallpaper scrolling function! But like all launchers, it does nothing for the look of the edge bar unfortunately, since the edge bar is basically an unsupported hack on the O.S. which has to be programmed for specifically...)

I agree. I would love nothing more to have a shortcut to my 360 Launcher app drawer on the "Edge". The app drawer app the OP provided is fine in a pinch, but nothing beats the app drawer transitions on 360 Launcher.
I have found a not ideal work around, which is to use the gesture shortcuts in Next Launcher so that whatever homescreen I'm on, I just swipe up to open my app drawer. However my ultimate goal is to be able to open the apps from the edge bar.. Why is this so important?
Because, the whole killer app feature of the edge bar, which I keep stressing to people who ask what the point of it is, is that I can open or switch to other apps from whatever app I'm in without exiting to the home screen first or scrolling through the recent apps.
My workaround still doesn't allow this.. But it DOES allow me to completely hide the dock bar at the bottom and have a FULL screen of widgets on my home screen. Which is pretty
I now have all my most used apps on the edge bar so I no longer need the android app dock on the bottom. It's really pretty and ergonomic.
As we have swipe up to open the app draw it really makes the app draw icon a bit pointless. Is there anyway I'm missing to get rid of this to replace it with an icon for another app etc?
If you go to Settings -> Display -> Home Screen. Under Select Home, you can move the slider on App drawer icon to off
I want the function on as I prefer the slide to open the app draw however I want to remove the app draw icon.
Seems a strange immission by lg
Obviously I can use a third party launcher.

If you turn the app drawer icon off via the slider in settings, you can still slide up the to get to the apps screen. Turning that app drawer icon off does not remove the slide up to get to apps screen.
Go into settings then Display then Home Screen then tap Select Home the select Home and App Drawer then switch the the App Drawer Icon slider to off and then select OK. From there you access the app drawer via sliding up on the home screen.

I don't know about other variants, but the T-Mobile variant has the option to have either Google feed or LG Smart Bulletin or none.

Ah that's a shame , my UK SIM free phone only has the option for smart buliten as far as I can tell which is not great. Would not be so bad if you could add feeds to it like news etc but there seems to be very few options.
I've gone back to nova at the moment until this options becomes available

I don't use either. I just have my 3 personalized screens and I set it for loop. Google Feed and LG Smart Bulletin are too busy for me.
