Updated to ADW latest github
I hacked up ADW launcher to have a MIUI'sih dock. It's nothing special but I kinda dig it so i figured id dump it here to share. I'm pretty sure it will only work in portrait mode because i never use landscape i didn't bother modding that source.
Thanks to Anderweb for having such a great open source project!
Thanks to Jrizzill for having such great icons!
- ADWSettings->Main Dock Style->5 Icons has been changed, to have 4 large icons as in pictures below. You must have ADWSettings->UI Settings->Dockbar checked to have swipe gesture open/close app drawer properly.
- Get icons here.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-d1-miui/88474-miui-themed-icons.html
- To open/close the app drawer, swipe the dock apps.
- To add a MIUI icon to the dock
1) long press, select custom shortcut
2) press pick your activity, press applications, select application
3) click the icon to the left of the "pick your activity" button, navigate to the one you want to use, click ok.
4) drag and drop it into the dock.
- Use desktop visualizer (1x1 small) for other desktop shortcuts.

OMG this is exactly what I've been looking for. Seriously when i switched from the Incredible to the Fascinate, the one thing I really missed was MIUI and having the large dock. I've been trying to hack launcher pro but this is great! Thank you so much.
Does this need root?
Awesome!
There are only a few bugs that I have found.
- For some reason I can't seem to trash anything on the screen :O Drag to the top of the screen and nothing happens, just reappears on the bottom.
- Sometimes when hitting the home button it forgets what apps are in the dock until I open the tray and close it.
Not sure if those have to do with the version that you compiled, or ADW itself. Anyhow not trying to get down on ya, considering this is exactly what I was looking for!
Can't wait for 2.2 MIUI!

don't believe so
For all those out there using blackhole rom's if you are using the embedded ADW then you can't install this for some reason. I had to reinstall a clean rom with TW and then install this APK.
EDIT:
Sorry for the double post
Glad you guys like it. I will try and fix/tweak a few things. Also will try to make it so that it can be installed side by side with stock ADW.
1) haven't had that happen with missing dock apps. try using the old dock implementation, that's the config i'm using? will mess around with it.
2) do you see the trash icon appear at the top of the screen? try and drag it all the way up to the top and drop it there. it works for me.
3) you don't need root, but if you are using some ROM with ADW pre-installed, just remove it from /system/app and drop this apk in there.

Odd, how do I implement the old dock config? Also yes the trash can appears, I drag the icon up, it turns red then it reappears at the original location just does not want me to change the setup haha
hmm weird with the delete.
make sure that this is not checked.
ADW Settings -> UI Settings -> Dockbar

Ok, found it. Still seems to have the same issue sometimes. Once in a while only 2 icons in the tray will appear in the center, until I open the app drawer then close it. Once I do that all is good again.
i updated a new build, try that one.
How do I use these icons in adw? Step by step if possible.
updated to 1.3.1 and added some instructions.
tried using desktop virtualizer to make the other icons. It works but there small. How do I make them larger. I'm using the icons in the link you provided.
Thanks
The large icons in the dock seem a bit fuzzy.Am I the only one having this problem?
I used hd icons btw
updated to latest github commits.
"Application not installed" over and over
*Nm. Got it
Hi,
You've done a fantastic job.
But can you build a version with dock bar like the dock on mac os? It should look like this image below
cdn3.staztic.com/screenshots/199657-1.jpg
Please copy and paste, i do not have permission to post image here.
MIUI
icons in this launcher are bad, can you port MIUI ADW theme for this? becouse theme haves good icons from MIUI and can you made dock from MIUI(screen indicator, dock style). If this`ll complete, launcher`ll looks pretty good) thanks!
Hey there,
Why cannot be installed on Eclair 2.1?
* LE: I made a mistake, it's working now. Agree with with the fuzzy icons in the dock. And also, is there a way to increase the number of rows? I like the icons to have also their labels, and only this is how it will going to work. Thanks.
Can we change the dockbar??

Scroll Launcher is a Diamond styled Launcher for WM Devices.
Scroll Launcher looks inside the windows start menu folder for all files, and then adds them to a modified KListControl from here
Requirements:
.NET CF 2.0
WM2003 and above Pocket PC device. (I haven't worked out where the Smartphone version stores its startmenu. As soon as I do, I'll release a new version).
QVGA or VGA device
2MB of RAM (may use more on VGA)

Usage:
Install the cab to your device. Execute the link called "Scroll Launcher" in Programs, and then scroll till you find the program you want!
Notes:
No icons are added yet.
A settings program is included!
EOA (ExitOnAction) sets whether the application should close when you hit a link.
The "Path" option allows changing of the path. If you have a non WWE ROM, please set this prior to use!
You must restart Scroll Launcher to apply changes.
Thanks to dosfan and gingercat for the original KListControl.
Thanks to kidnamedAlbert for the icon!
The sourcecode for my modified KListControl is also attached for those who are interested.
this looks great.
just wish we could a better looking background to go with it

Currently it's a single colour layer... I might try and implement some form of bitmap backround, but that'll eat memory...

this is great.
now im going to add a program icon to it
i have edited the black scroll launcher and added a program icon
just replace the .exe with the one in the program files/scroll launcher folder
the idea look similar to Schaps interface for hes upcoming rom nice work
looks interesting! when i installed it and run the launcher, it does not find any of my programs. the only one that shows up is the launcher in the list.
i installed on my device and i tried it on my storage card same effect. only the launcher shows up in the program list. do i need to install anything else? i only installed the black launcher attached in post number 5.
thank you mister moderator l3v5y
Nice work l3v5y!
Just great
In black is very, very, very nice.
Just jumpse to me that it is missing 2 thing.... the icons, and not to hide the top bar.
Keep up the good work, for you and dosfan.

Does your ROM have any localisation? It may not work with differently named start menus. Also, are the files in "\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs" *.lnk files?

I'm adding some customization to it (via the registry!) so I can add that as an option.

l3v5y, I just tried your launcher (actually referred from the finger friendly thread) and I like it a lot, it can easily compensate what pointui is missing, which is only 7 items allowed.
I don't know if you could add these:
1) Groups of the shortcuts. I have way too many shortcuts currently grouped into folders right now (for pointui access). However if your launcher supports layers, such as if I double tap office then I would be able to select word mobile, excel mobile etc that would make it a little cleaner look.
2) Index scroll, a vertical scroll bar on either the left side or right side when scrolling the corresponding first letter comes up, like what pcm contacts, icontact and random access has. It maybe too pointui-ly but certainly increases the usability of your launcher.
Just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work!

Good ideas, but they may take some time...
Currently the items are sorted by creation date, so I need to change that before 2 will work.
Groups may also take some time as I'll have to redo the click handling...
great work brother do we only install the cab file? or what to do with the other files?
The cab file is all you need with WM5 +
I just switched from sense to Launcher Pro Beta, and I must say that it is amazing... It's just so much more predictable and useful, not to mention faster and smoother. On top of that, from what I have heard, it is great for battery life, just switched so I haven't had a chance to test that out yet.
If you haven't given it a shot yet, download it from the market and try it out, I promise you will not regret it. Its MUCH better than sense. I never had a problem with sense, but I just figured Id try something new, and it paid off...
P.S Does anybody know if the new software patch that came out today will be included in any of the developers roms? I'm not to sure how that stuff works.
ADW.Launcher is also a worthy alternative, imo. Very customizable.

There should be an updated DamageControl out tonight built off the OTA.
And yes, LauncherPro is definitely the best launcher that I've used! I love it!
I downloaded this from the market to try it out but it doesn't look like anything has changed. How do I switch to it and possibly back?

Press the Home key, and you should get an option to select between HTC Sense, Launcher, and LauncherPro. If that doesn't work, just download Home Switcher from the Market.

There we go, thank you.
I loved the extra speed and how the shortcuts were laid out. I also liked that you didnt have to have the writing under each icon. BUT I missed my full screen calendar, toggle widgets, etc. So Im back to sense. I dont have access to these when using a different launcher. Am I doing something wrong?

You can't use HTC widgets outside of the Sense launcher. However, there are replacement widgets in the Market for almost everything you are missing. For example, Pure Grid Calendar Widget and Weather & Toggle Widgets.

I played around with it after that post, but just couldnt get it how I wanted it AGAIN. So Im back to sense haha. I really need 6 icons on the dock at the bottom to avoid extra icons on my home screen. I also wanted a 4G toggle to match the rest, and that doesnt seem to be out. The only one out (that I could find) is a light bulb..

You know with LauncherPro you can change it to 5 rows of icons (20 total) on the screen at once, right? You can potentially have 28 more slots than with Sense.

Im talking about JUST the dock at the bottom. Not shortcuts added to the screen itself. Right now I have the rosie bar at the bottom that launches my app drawer/phone/etc. Then I have 4 icons above it. Handcent, Gmail, Internet and People. With LauncherPro I can have all 4 of those on the dock, but then the 5th spot is taken by either the app drawer or phone. I want both. I know you can do the scroll thing, but its not the same. I just like a simple look and wanted everything I have now on my HOME screen.
Here is the setup now. I want all of the same access on the home screen, and it cant be done with LauncerPro. 5 short cuts on the dock and then a random widget on the screen just wouldnt look as clean.

ADW.Launcher works pretty good.
A few things I like:
- You can make as many columns and rows of Icons as you want per screen (up to 8 x 8, so that would be 64 icons per screen).
- Swipe down anywhere on a screen to make the top bar come down
I have problem im missing one my dock icons, PHONE icon is missing i did several time restart my phone and still doesnt show up, please need help very badly...
Are you using the stock TouchWiz launcher? Or another home-replacement app (LauncherPro, ADW)?
im using stock Touchwiz launcher

Click to expand...

if its a rom using the newer touchwiz mod then the icon can be dragged off and removed, just open your apps and find the icon your missing and drag it back onto the dock.
if its the original touchwiz launcher then that usualy means that something happened to the app itself, did you try to install any system apps recently?
sometimes this happens with failed installs to the system app folder that replace another system app, or removal of a system app without replacing it.
I did try to drag and drop to the dock but still can't except the two icons on the middle ie. Message and Contacts, lastly yes i did install apps that i bought from market place Sheet Metal Calculator. I don't know about newer rom for touchwiz mod and how to do that, thanks a lot for quick reply...

its usualy replacing system apps (like the dialer) that cause that, but it sounds like you havent done that.
is the dialer and/or contacts app in your app drawer still?
or is it missing from both the dock and the app drawer?
i only got 3 icons on the dockr, Application, Contacts, Message missing Dialer, i don't know why what i can't drag into lower left corner my dialer icon..

So the dialer is in your app drawer then?
you probably cant drag because the stock touchwiz launcher does not support that.
A short fix would be to temporarily use a replacement launcher like ADW launcher or launcher pro from the market, with either of those you can drag the dialer onto the dock at the bottom.
as far as fixing your stock launcher:
Are you rooted?
and if so are you running a different rom?
And if so:
Which rom are you running?
yes Dialer still in the App Drawer, so far looks ok after purchasing Luncher Pro, but if switching to TwLauncher still the same, yes i am rooted with Samsung Galaxy One Click All Models and lastly i didn't install any rom or flash since i don't how to do it right now.
Still not figure out how to put back my Dialer icon my on Dock settings, i tried Launcher Pro is really good but still wanted to put back my default TW Launcher, i tried reboot my phone several times, drag icon into my dock still not working. You help is very much appreciated..

Sorry didn't read the whole thread thought I had an answer for your
Nerobeta3+dow1.4+oclf
What is Nerobeta3+dow1.4+oclf a program where can i download this if ever? Is this will fix my problem? I'm missing my Dialer icon on my phone if you could photo of my previous post.
so nobody solve my problem, so should i stay with Launcher Pro then?
I have the same problem, I recently flashed the Nero v3 ROM and BlackFroyo Theme and my dock icons are missing except the app icon. Does any have a fix for this?
This worked for me on stock Rom. Go to settings, applications, manage applications and select the all tab. Look for TWlaucher and click clear data. You will lose all your settings for your screens - widgets, shortcuts, etc... for touchwiz, but you can easily reset those. It did bring my contact, dialer and messaging apps back!
Thanks for this!! I lost all but applications from the dock when I upgraded to stock froyo, I thought this was the way it was supposed to be, and I was disappointed. Cleared the data, and they are all back again!!!!
Many thank you's!!!!

There is an option in settings to disable the dock bar completely.
That is all i noticed.
Yeah,
Latest ADW launcher EX updates just made a complete mess of my 'hubs' style homescreens setup. I'm really pissed off.
Even if they have reverted the option to disable the now-unified dock bar with the .56 update, I still have my vertically arranged 'simple text' icons shifted-off to the right (leaving a wastelando of screen realstate to the left of the tab) and the ones I had on the right hand side are completely gone! Damn!
To top that, I had a toggle icon on my homescreen linked to the "Show/Hide ActionBar" ADW action ...and that option is now completely gone! My icon does nothing and I don't find a way to hide the top action bar where the access to the ADW settings is, for example.

Bind the Show/Hide to swipe up our down and you should be good. Also, you can readd the shortcut as a custom shortcut to launcher actions.
After you do all that just to get back to the way it used to work what benefit do you get from updating to the latest version?

That is when you hide the toolbar and your custom menu in adwex is not hidden. If you try to hide some of the custom menu, in my case- I leave 3 items, that setting/menu will still show but useless.. try it and see.
I've tried to set up a wallpaper but it is cropped very bad, I can see only the upper side. I've tried MultiPicture Live Wallpaper but it makes the tablet a bit laggy. Is there a way to set a wallpaper that looks good on AdwLauncher EX?
I wish there was a third-party launcher that didn't feel like it was ported from a phone version. I like the built in google search and app drawer in the stock launcher and I'd really just like to be able to change the number of home screens.

Wow, I didn't realize ADW made the wallpaper look so different. Maybe try setting the wallpaper with another gallery app like quickpic? There's also a non-market app that's designed to set the Tab's wallpaper without hacking off the edges like the stock gallery does, but I forget what it's called.

Hey all, I've got a question. I'm running stock root on my NC with LauncherPro, and for whatever reason, I can't change the shortcuts on the dock. I want to change them to programs I actually have - by default, I don't have a messaging or phone app. Whenever I try to change the shortcut (by holding down on the icon and then going to change it), LauncherPro launches the previous app I had open. Has anyone else had this problem?
I am open to switching launchers - I just use LauncherPro on my phone so I know how to work it. I'm looking for a really fast, minimalistic-launcher. GoLauncher is too feature heavy, and it makes my NC lag. Zeam launcher also lags a lot. I want something very snappy and fluid, even if it is lacking in features.

Hey all, I've got a question. I'm running stock root on my NC with LauncherPro, and for whatever reason, I can't change the shortcuts on the dock. I want to change them to programs I actually have - by default, I don't have a messaging or phone app. Whenever I try to change the shortcut (by holding down on the icon and then going to change it), LauncherPro launches the previous app I had open. Has anyone else had this problem?

Make sure your homepage isn't locked.... then long press one of the ones you want to get rid of and delete it... then the others
Then you can add the ones you want
What do you mean, locked? I've tried doing just that - long pressing and removing it, but it doesn't work.

When you push menu on the home page, there is an option to lock the homepage so you don't accidently mess it up. It is a toggle so just tap it to unlock.
Oh, is there? I can't for the life of me find it. Whenever I press home, lock isn't one of the options.

Not home, menu once you are on the home screen. It may not be on the first menu, you may have to push more or advanced or something, but it is there.
Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I looked under all of the settings - from advanced settings to Appearence, and there's no lock home screen option, or anything like it in Launcherpro.

Well, obviously it is locked so launcher pro must have that setting somewhere. Look in their documentation. For most the other launchers it is in menu on home screen, not in settings.
I installed ADW launcher and uninstalled launcher pro. The lock option is there, but it doesn't change a thing - even with it unlocked, it, still launching the previous app instead of letting me edit the shortcut.
You say you are on rooted stock. Which dock are you talking about? The stock dock or the one that comes with the launcher? Its been a long time since I used stock and cannot picture what you are trying to do.

I have two docks, so to speak - the default Nook one, pictured here (just without that arrow in the middle. NOT the book dock, the black bar at the bottom)
{
"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"
}
And then I have the launcher dock - right now, the ADW launcher dock. Whenever I go to change the short cut on the launcher dock, whether it's ADW or LauncherPro, it kicks me out of the settings window and throws me to the previous program I was using. I tried "unlocking" the dock in the ADW options like suggested, but it still happens.
Ok that thing you have pictured is not a dock, it is the status bar and should always be there even if you have another launcher loaded. The dock is a black bar above that. And on my system you change what is on the adw dock by dragging shortcuts off and on to it. But in order to do that the desktop must be unlocked. Your description of going to a settings window in adw to change shortcuts on the dock does not compute for me.
