[Q] Adw launcher & Honeycomb

Have installed adw ex on my Transformer, I love it, except the top row, with the adw icon, adw unlock etc.
Is it possible to remove it, and if so how?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I don't think it's possible.

You'll get use to it. I don't even notice it anymore.

Can someone post a screen of this, I'm curious to what you guys are talking about.

I didn't get used to the intrusive logo or lock desktop icon and message so went back to the stock launcher.

Wtf? Why is there a persistent logo on a launcher?
Jeez ander....

Tried LLP and it works better, but I can't remove the dock on LP. And can't
use swipe up to open appdrawer.
Guess I'll have to write to ADW and ask for a option to remove it.

I have been writingsoftware for ages and that is why I stay away from UX. Cannot please everyone (including me LOL)

This kinda stopped me from using ADW too...it would be nice if 'lock desktop' could be replaced with 'Apps' or any option we like.
I did email the dev about this a while ago when the Transformer came out but the reply sounded like it won't be updated.

Is there another launcher that removes the top row, enable swipe up/down and without or capable to hide the dock?

Try GO Launcher, it has swipe up/down also.
Only thing is it's not in the Market but you can side load it plus it's jsut not as good as ADW EX but that's just my opinion.
On the plus side it has gestures and you can resize widgets like the default launcher

Somebody on the post your home screen page had removed the logo, I wish there was adw that integrated the stock features like holographic, and Google search

Only if we could have ADW + Stock top (with the My Apps and + button)
that would be PERFECT.

From what I've read on the adw thread in the theme forum, the developer is working on being able to get rid of that top adw button and quite possibly even getting rid of that whole upper section too.
I tried Launcher pro and even optimized it but it still didn't feel as smooth and responsive as adw. I honestly think adw is perfect except for that top icon section.

Missing ADW Settings
Hey all, I think I could live with the bar at the top (although I agree it's a little obnoxious), but I can't get to any of the standard ADW settings. They're just blank. I'm not sure how to take a screenshot or I'd attach it. Any thoughts? Do I need to root my transformer for it to work?

No root needed to use ADW EX launcher.
To take screen shot you can use the native function.
Go into Settings>Screen>Click on the Screenshot box.
Now when you press and hold the Recent Apps key it will take a screenshot.

I've used both (on the KF), and its hard to say. I like Go Launcher EX - well, just because. Its hard to explain these things, its like a favorite flavor of ice cream.
That said, Tested.com did a write up on the two, plus LauncherPro - you might want to check it out.*

How do weather widgets work when their is no GPS? Probably a dumb question.

If you set them with the location you want weather information for, yes.
If not, no.

Most weather apps have an option to use to use the internet to determin location, wont be exact but it will show the general area your in. Of course without an internet connection they wont update.

ADW Launcher widget problems
Hi all,
I recently got the Kindle Fire version 10.2.3, and installed ADW Launcher for it. This worked fine, but then a few days after installing, one of my widgets stopped displaying. I tried to remove the widget and add it again, but after removing it I couldn't get it back. When I clicked on the "widget" button to add it, nothing happened.
I tried to remedy this by updating to ADW Ex, and everything else worked fine, but again, I cannot add or alter or do anything with widgets.
When I press down on the home screen and the options pop up, all of them work, except for 'widgets'. I can see the icon, but upon pressing it nothing happens.
I have deleted and reinstalled both ADW and ADW Ex several times, and always the same happens. I don't know what to do! It's really annoying because ADW seems to be the only launcher that works with this version of the Fire. But the widgets are a central function of the launcher and I want them to work!
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!

[Q] LauncherPro Error?

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.

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_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.

Recent apps

Anybody managed to push a recent apps switcher to the shield and have it functional? Or is there one I just can't access built in? Like... Leanback is cool and all but it makes for a terrible recent apps switcher. Also, anybody have a tasker profile to launch an app on double tap off home our like on f2 press of keyboard or something. I'm amazed I can't find anything about this.

I was a little annoyed when I couldn't find it. It's there though. I'm using LMT Pie Controls and Nova Launcher mostly but OmniSwitcher is working too if installed as priv-app. To find the recent app switcher you need to go to Shortcuts>Activities>SystemUI>Overview.recent.RecentsActivity You can set a button on the LMT launcher to access it because its a little pointless to have to return to homescreen in order to launch it, but yea it works pretty much the same as regular

pie only. Havnt tried it with gestures and isas. I imagine it might make navigation a little more cumbersome than it already is. I forgot, that to get that shortcut to show in LMT I needed to set the button to "trigger a shortcut" and then chose "Activities" with the Nova Icon next to it then following the path i wrote earlier. I imagine that there are other apps that you can use to launch activities (AnyCut maybe) if you dont wanna install another launcher. Anyways the recents switcher is part of SystemUI so there is probably more ways to get to it and like I said OmniSwitcher working too. Screenshots...

Looking for a way to turn the screen off without hitting the power button

I am looking to add a button\widget to the homescreen that will shut the screen off. After looking for some apps I found some that will accomplish this but force a pin upon turning the screen on even if I used the fingerprint scanner. Is there such an app?

I use two fingers swipe down instead of double tap. You can set any gesture you want.

Roms have double tap top screen to sleep.

Everyone he already given all info needed. This is one of many reasons why I love roms. I always have a custom tile for screen off and a softkey just for screen off that way I can access it either way and not hit a button. Nexus devices have always had crappy buttons and I don't wanna mess em up by hitting them 20,000 times so thats how I get around it. Lots of great 100% stable custom roms to choose from. Pure Nexus, Chroma, RR, AICP, Aokp, the list goes on.. Nexus is the best device for roms. Cheers.

LMT Launcher supports this. Bind one of the items to key code 29 to do a screen off.

GMD GestureControl (play store) works fine (root)

Just download Nova and set a gesture, no root needed. I pinch the screen to turn it off.

Do you mean like this. Look at bottom right hand side in nav bar. No xposed. Pure stock rooted.

The Best one I've ever seen is run resurrection remix with whatever kernel, elemental is good or Franco. Then simply add an extra nav bar button. So instead I having three at the bottom I have 4. You have the back, home, and recents +power button on the far right of nav bar. A single process turn off long press and you'll get the power menu with screenshot power off and reboot and reboot to recovery that's all you want.

It's within systemui.apk. Me and @Tigerstown will be releasing a nav bar mod pack.

If you can wait 7 seconds, you can use a Tasker shortcut to set the screen time out to 7 seconds, and then restore it after it goes off.

And you can unlock the phone with fingerprint? If I lock the screen with gesture in nova I can't unlock with only fingerprint, it also requires password. To get around that you need root.

Just link the double tap gesture in Nova to screen Lock pro. It will work without root and fingerprint will still work. Been using it for months.

Screen off app with nova launcher. Set the app to the double tap gesture in Nova.
