Would be nice to have an option that let you choose whether to enable or 
disable the sliding pointer used in ther vertical drawer

Attach mock-ups/screenshots if you can.


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use "sense" style overview of homescreens
2.Hit menu to edit homescreens

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The background overview should drop out and only leave the editing mode    
homescreens.  There's alot of visual clutter between the overlays,wall paper,  
and the original homescreens.

sorry for lack of details.  after coming back out of an app, the phone 
orientation got stuck in landscape.  the app drawer icon was on the right, and 
all of the icons had changed shape a bit like they were rotated.  everything 
had the proper orientation so it could be read, but it was clearly laid out and 
meant to be for the landscape orientation

I would like to suggest that the default action for “Swipe Down” should 
actually be the Dockbar, and NOT the typical Notification. People are already 
used to simply grabbing the main Taskbar and swiping down to bring up any 
notifications. Swiping Down to bring up or close the Dockbar is awesome, this 
is what got me using it :)

Just be able to keep apps in a hidden folder that can be accessed through 
settings,

Please add a feature to disable all shortcuts. The reason for this is, when the 
drawer is open, when I try to scroll horizontally, I always end up dragging an 
icon to the homescreen instead of scrolling. This is really frustrating!

All you need to do is have a feature like so: Click on the options button on 
the home screen to reveal the menu. Add an option, "Enter/Exit Configuration 
Mode". When you are in the configuration mode, all the shortcuts are enabled. 
So, you can rearrange the icons on the home screen, drag apps from the drawer 
to the homescreen etc etc. But, when you have exited the configuration mode, 
all the shortcuts are disabled, and all the icons & apps are "Locked" in their 
respective places. Since all these are locked, the program will not have to 
decide if you are dragging an app to the homescreen or scrolling left/right. 
So, it will enable faster & more fluid interaction with the adw launcher.

Please bring this feature ASAP!!!

Thanks!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  I uninstalled ADW and reinstalled ADW, still only 5 screens.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There is no option to use 7 screens.

I want to implement mixing theme elements and extend the applicable settings 
screen.

Overview:
AlmostNexusSettingsHelper.java defines the get<functions> for retrieving the 
drawables from ALMOSTNEXUS_PREFERENCES sp. Theme icons for example are saved in 
the themeIcons string. I'd like to extend the preferences with more granularity 
by adding a "Custom" theme which can hold arbitrary elements and then be listed 
in Available Themes similar to KDE's custom theme implementation (screenshot 
attached).

Issues:
1.) Locating where theme shared prefs are set upon selecting a theme
2.) Expanding the theme selection to a sub menu with drop downs that are 
populated from available resources
3.) Ideally a miniature launcher view that shows real-time update preview
4.) Save function that pulls the various elements and pushes to the respective 
preference strings.

My main problem is finding where that's all located.

Unread Miss Called, Message, GMail, Facebook Notifications count etc. which is 
possible on the Dock..

Please allow for placement of 1x1 (icon sized) widgets in the dock and action 
buttons. Even if they're resized slightly.

Specifically, I'm requesting this for the purpose of using widgets such as 
Gmail Unread Count and Text Unread Count to display the number of unread items 
on top of the icon in the dock. I had this setup on my phone before I switched 
to ADW (though dxTop) and it was very nice. With all the "unread count" 
widgets, even the "toggle status" widgets, it would be great to be able to add 
one or two of them to the dock.

I was wondering if it was possible to further customize how hiding icon text 
works.  I love how clean everything looks when the titles are hidden but it 
sometimes makes it difficult to determine what some shortcuts are.  Some 
examples would be: webpage links on the homescreen, shortcuts to control panel 
dialogs, folders and music playlists.  Is there anyway we could hide titles for 
apps but not the other stuff?  Thanks for such a great piece of software thus 
far!

I think that would be interesting make the new feature "app group" compatible 
with the app Folder Organizer.
I have grouped my apps by labels in folder organizer. Could be possible that 
app group recognize those labels. So we haven't to create new groups.
Apps like Titanium Backup have this feature with folder organizer.

It would be nice if there was an option to remove certain applications from the 
app drawer. There are icons for apps such as license keys, themes, icon packs, 
or just built in apps that came with the phone that I never use. Doing so will 
make it easier to search for the app I want to run.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Opening nearly any app on the phone, then closing or pressing home key to 
return to home screen
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get the home screen.  Instead, I get a black screen, then eventual 
redraw of all icons and widgets.  App drawer also reloads all app icons at this 
time, as well.

What version of the product are you using? On what phone? What Android
version?
ADW 1.1.2 (but has been happening since the 0.'s.
Moto Droid (rooted)
Android 2.2 (Bugless Beast 0.4)

Please provide any additional information below.
This happens with the other popular home replacement as well.  Did Google mess 
up something in the 2.2 code that causes this?  If so, what do?

hope to see the ability to resize the icons in the dock.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Upgrade to Froyo
2. Restart. Phone
3. Upgraded to ADW version 1.1.3

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The ADW shows the auto orientation settings greyed out...

Hey Anderweb, I'd first like to thank you for your time and effort that you put 
into this project, with no cost to it's users!! Awesome work, great talent. I 
have installed all the latest updates, however, this last one has made my 
system operate at a very slow, laggy, and choppy pace. Moving through screens, 
especially. I even recognize a difference in my keyboard. Not sure what that is 
all about, but if you could clue me in on what's going on or perhaps fix it, I 
would greatly appreciate it. Also, it takes FOREVER for my screen to orient 
from portrait to landscape and vice versa...honestly, the original "screen 
persistent" option was the best(when it was kept checked). It worked! Without 
having to designate a layout option. Hope this wasn't too much for ya. Take it 
easy. 

Best!

Attach mock-ups/screenshots if you can.

im not sure if this should be filed under bug or feature request, but i have 
several groups set up in my app drawer, and whenever a new app is installed, it 
automatically shows up in all those groups. consequently, i have to go through 
my groups and remove said app from those particular groups. this shouldn't 
happen by default in my opinion, and at the very least should be toggleable via 
ADW drawer options page.

In adwsettings.

- In system preferences

- - Swipe down actions and swipe up actions are in english, not spanish. You 
can translate to:

* Swipe down actions = Acción toque hacia abajo
* Selecciona acción para gesto toque hacia abajo

* Swipe up actions = Acción toque hacia arriba
* Selecciona acción para gesto toque hacia arriba

- In interface

- - Resaltado de iconos

- - - Colro selección (error) = Color selección

- In backup

- - Configuración del estritorio

- - - Exportat escritorio (error) = Exportar escritorio

FINISH

Increible good work Ander. Congratulations and thank you very much.

Can you make ADW Launcher make me pancakes?  That would be awesome.

I used to set mine back to 3. when I had the g1 i went through a phase were I 
thought the 5 screen hack was bad ass and all, but now that I'm used to android 
I don't really use all the screen space even on my new EVO.

3 screens just makes it easier for me because that's all I use and I don't want 
to accidently scroll to an empty screen when i'm trying to use my phone. 
Especially when multitasking, not that I ever open up gps or anything while 
driving of course ;)

Also can anyone confirm does 3 screens vs 5 use less memory? and by how much? 
yeah i know the evo has a lot of it. just curious.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.After update ADW launcher will not launch
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I press the home key and get a choice to use ADW launcher or TWiz Launcher but 
not anymore after this update

1) I would request you to add more animations to the application drawer. For 
example, you should be able to drag the drawer up to view the drawer & drag it 
back down to reveal the homescreen. This, in my opinion, is more natural & 
fluid than the current zoom animation. This type of animation already exists in 
the X10 Mini homescreen & is the best animation in my opinion. 


I wish I could attach something here, but you can see the animation in the X10 
Mini homescreen on Youtube!


I am using an X10 Mini

Thanks!

The new "app group" feature is spectacular.  It would be great if we were on a 
main screen and similar to adding a shortcut, add an app group to the main 
screen.  When you click on it, it could pop open like a folder on the desktop 
currently does.

Steps required would be

1. settings -> add
2. custom shortcut
3. new entry for "app group" (or put it under the ADW Activities)
4. select pre-existing group
5. name it, pick icon
6. done.. appears on main screen

I would like to see the name under the app moved to a vertical bar on the side 
of the app so the bottom doesn't get cut off.

It would also be cool to make this an option in the app drawer, but not as 
necessary there as the names are not cut off.

Attach mock-ups/screenshots if you can.
A rough mock up is attached.  Sorry I clearly did it quickly, and only did the 
first row of applications just to give you the idea.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.use the app as deafault launcher
2.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When using adw as default launcher. My battery dont last as long as when using 
the default launcher on my x10 mini.

Allow us to move the icons in the app drawer according to the user wish.. The 
apps should not remain set in alphabetical order..

Can you add the ability to put the 'all apps' icon anywhere in dock and also 
have blank spaces in the dock. it will take themeing another step further :)

A simple update notifier those with system version (CM Users) so it is easier 
to stay current with latest.

Of course that could be turned off at the users choice.

Not sure how useful this will be, but I was thinking if it's possible to add a 
widget that would allow users launching applications by typing their full or 
partial name. This idea is similar to start menu in Windows 7, where user types 
in a search string and it finds all applications that fit search criteria.
A benefit of doing this would be removing the button to open up app drawer and 
allowing user to add another application shortcut at the bottom of the screen.

Currently, to add multiple icons in the dockbar, I have to open the drawer, 
open the dockbar, place icon on dockbar from drawer, close the dockbar, open 
the drawer again, open the dockbar again, place another icon on dockbar from 
drawer, etc..

To enhance this, I have two alternatives:
1) Don't close the drawer if dockbar is opened. This way, we won't need to 
close and reopen the dockbar everytime. You'll have to close the dockbar if you 
want to add icons to the homescreen. Make this optional to avoid protests. :P

2) Add something on top of the dockbar to launch the drawer, maybe in place of 
the recycle bin, but not auto-hidden. This way, we can still launch the drawer 
without having to close the dockbar. However, you'll need to make the launcher 
as beautiful as possible. I'm not sure it will be pretty to add something 
there. Maybe you can make this optional too.

It had to be done, Ander. If not me then..... klinster or someone, I dunno.

Instead of the slide up feature to open the dock to add more icons.. It should 
be sliding the dock to add unlimited icons to it...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Accessing google search (via search widget)
2.turning phone into sideways (landscape) position

When you swipe up to put the launcher on fullscreen mod,  then swipe down to 
open the notification tab,  it should be great that the upper bar with the 
icons and the time activate itself instead of having a blank on the upper side 
(instead of the icons bar).
