I tried searching for solutions but came up empty.
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime and Android 12. My dock icons do not display labels even though labels are turned on and the icons, when edited, do have labels.
Also, I have set it up to allow me to swipe the dock to show a second set of icons. This works fine on the default page, but if I swipe to the tablet's second page, swiping the dock down causes the notification area to show, and swiping it up causes the installed apps to show.
Any help would be appreciated.

how do I enable extended dock with more options then just phone/browser and app?
You can disable desktop dots which will let you store 4 apps. Additionally, press on the app drawer and scroll up, you can store as many apps as you want in there
that didnt do anything, i just want a more customizable dock like launcherpro has, im not even asking for the scrollable dock like launcherpro has, will uninstalling adwlauncer and installing launcherpro instead screw up CM6 to the point cease to function properly?
This one fooled me too for awhile, but all you have to do is drop an icon on the dock, just like you would move it around a homescreen and it will stick there. Go through the settings to make sure your secondary Action Buttons are enabled and you'll have 4 spaces to drop things onto plus the app drawer at center.

awesome thank you for the clear explanation!
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:

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.
Hey, so I recently downloaded ADW.Launcher (I have the plus version of LP but it has gotten slow or sluggish) and I like it alot. Im still learning the application but had a few questions for people who use it
1. If I put my finger on the drawer button, I see an arrow that point up, if I drag up, the dock goes away..so where does it go, how do I had another dock like I think you can?
2. Is it possible to add my own icons to the dock? Like Right now I have the dock setup for 5 icons including the app drawer, but if I put a short cut on my homescreen like for gmail, and its a color icon, when I drag it to the dock, it goes there but turns gray, well it basically keeps the shape of the icon but unless u know what that icon is, just by looking at the shape there would be no way of knowing (kinda hard to explain)
Any help would be greatly appreciataed

2. There is a setting in ADW that turns icons in the dock grey vs. keeping them in their original color. I forget the setting, but it is in the ADW settings somewhere. ONce you see the name it's fairly obvious. I believe it's under the dock settings.
When you pull up the app drawer and it "disappears" thats basically another deck you can add shortcuts to. What I do is I add shortcuts to the phone's desktop and then drag them down to the very bottom until you see it kind of lights up white-ish. It should then dock that application down there.
Thanks for the replies, I watched a ADW.Launcher Youtube Video lol it helped alot with all my questions
I convinced my dad to get a waterproof smartphone for the free wifi calling.
Its his first smartphone and he wants me to lock down the phone so he doesnt mess anything up. Hes quite talented that way.
This thread says some of the roms dont have tmobile uma wifi calling
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931972&page=3
I dont have the post count for that forum.
In new to android and dont know which rom to use? Motorblur has to go lol.
Phone has a red lens.
He doesnt have a data plan only wifi. He will mostly use wifi for calling but might read email and check weather once in a while but wont be surfing the web or playing games or anything.
If i could i would like a launcher with a single home screen with only about 10 apps and they would be locked from moving. There would be a largish call dock icon on the bottom and a clock widget near the top. The notification bar would have the date and a longer battery icon.
While on the home screen, the menu button would turn a flashlight on and off and the search button would launch the music player. Hitting the home button five times and entering a password would bring up the list of all the installed apps so i could go to the settings or market etc to change things.
The notification bar woud have slightly bigger icon and when swiped down would also show wifi and bluetooth controls like on my moms samsung galaxy. Also liker hers the lock screen would change to the puzzle piece swipe when theres a new message.
Get a custom launcher like Go Launcher EX and hide all the apps you dont want to use from the launcher
Stuff like browser I is a bad idea to remove, just hide the icon to launch it.
For WiFi intensive, I'd suggest going with a stock Blurless Froyo, since CM7 could have some issues when using WiFi.
Adw ex has an option to lock the homescreen so nothing moves. You can set it to be one page and lock it.
Sent from my MOTWX435KT using XDA App
adw launcher works pretty good! I was able to remove all but the one main desktop screen and then lock it. Had to set desktop overshoot to 0 to stop screen from bouncing when flicked.
Where would i ask for the following requests.
-Wider dock bar icons. having 3 or 5 dialer icons on the dock looks crappy lol.
-taller dock bar icon.
-menu button turns a flashlight app on and off
-search button launches a music player app
-home button works normally and goes home, if pressed 30 times in a row then brings up menu for me to get to settings/wallpaper/unlock/app drawer.
I am not sure on ADW EX but Go Launcher EX have the option of changing the dock background. Just use a picture with just 2 or 3 icons as back ground and use transparent icons. I set this way to mimic original DEFY launcher home with just Phone and Contacts in the dock bar. Attached the files here. Got it from here only but forgot the original post.
*** Note sure if I have explained it properly here
Try Launcher 7. You can lock the screen so icons can't be moved, and hide the rest from the app list. MIUI it's simple and easy to use, was great for my wife to learn Android, CM7 can get kind of confusing for some people.
Swyped from my MIUI 1.9.23 Defy
Angelus47 I dont like launcher 7 cant put enough icons/tiles on one screen.
Does MIUI have tmobile wifi calling app?
pprakash Is it better to have button image on the dock background and transparent icons over or is it better to cut the button image across several icon sized wide pieces.
In adw launcher the dock background is set by the theme. Im not sure how to create a theme. On the other hand if i didnt scale the split icons pieces to the right size there would be gaps between them I think.
Right now i have one visual voicemail on the left, one messaging on the right and three dialers in the middle.
perhaps i could find where the images for themes are stored and replace the dock backround image for the default theme.

With Go Launcher EX I find having the single image as background provided slightly bigger images rather than using individual icons. But I have attached individual icons as well here hopefully it helps you ..
I have configured a bottom navigation bar using UCCW to get to different home screen pages by clicking the screen number on the said bar.
Each screen number has a box with a fixed width and a hotspot assigned to the same box width to take me to the desired screen.
I use Nova launcher.
Everything was working fine when I added the widget to the first home screen page and I was able to navigate to all of my screens.
I then proceeded to make 4 copies of the same widget and added them to each of my screens.
That is when I noticed that the hotspots were not all working as expected.
Only on one screen they seemed to work properly; on the rest there was something wrong - ex: no action when clicking on the screen number or being taken to the wrong screen.
I tried removing all widgets and creating separate skins for each screen and then putting them back on - but the result is the same.
Only the screen where everything used to work changed.
Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something basic here?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
