[SOLVED][Q] How to change the docK? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Being that I've searched and have yet to find a thread on this, clearly I'm missing something obvious...
Where are the settings for the dock to change it back to the original look? I can't handle this 3d starwars style app drawer.

30 views and nobody knows? Wow, guess this can't be changed until a custom rom comes out...

Just install adw or launcher pro... I got adw on mine and changed the 3d dock

Launcher with 4 icons

Now I've looked long and hard on this one. Thoughout xda and any other site that is similar. But to no success. So I ask...
Where and/or how can I get a launcher that has just 4 icons in its dockbar?
The touchwiz one is slow and the homescreen is locked on the first screen "iPhone" style.
ADW launcher and its EX version have been updated to not allow the old "secondary AB settings" anymore.
Launcher pro cant do it period
And the open home launcher is too difficult and I cant pay for it. Used up this weeks app budget.
So I need a launcher that has 4 icons in its dockbar. The new MIUI.ADW launcher has it in its settings but I dont like the scaling and size of the app icons in the drawer and homescreens.
Any help please?
And I mean 4 icons as in similar to touchwiz. Three changable apps and one app drawer icon.
Well you could set up LauncherPro with only 4 shortcuts in the dock. Just leave one of the spaces blank.

Yeah but that makes it appear disorganised. I wan one that's spaced the way the toucwiz launcher is spaced. Go check out miui for adw launcher in the market. Some Guy managed to alter it to use only 4 icons in the dock. I would just use that one with a different theme, but the icons are blown up way too much.
Download launcher pro icons via the market you can change the appearance of you dock 100%.

So you can make the just 4 icons (including launcher) appear evenly amongst the entire dock? There will not be an open space where an icon should be?

I don't think so. I just tried LPI and didn't see any option of making it have what you want. I didn't play around with it too much though because I wanted to uninstall it within the 15 minutes so I didn't get charged for it.
I know what I suggested isn't what you are looking for it was just a thought. You might want to check out this themed version of LP though. It comes with icons in the first 3 dock spaces, then the 4th one blank and the app drawer on the far right. Doesn't look too bad actually.

It does look nice but its not quite what I'm looking for. Does anyone know a way to mod the Adw launcher to have 4 icons in the dock?

I tried this launcher for a few minutes but I cant get the icons to scale properly with another theme. They all look blown up.
Why not just use ADW Ex with no Dock? This would put 4 Icons on the bottom row and you could make one the app drawer. I am not sure if free ADW has the option for no dock, but I know for sure the Ex version does. I think this way will give you the best most uniform look available.
Live home... but havent found it in the gb market

Why dont you flash miui, if your rooted obviously. It has 4 changeable dock icons that seem to be what your looking for. I personally like it, except it has no app drawer if thats a deal breaker for you. I dont mind it.

[Q] Change the App Drawer scroll orientation

I am currently running Darky Rom 9.5 with Crysis Revolution Theme. I love the the style of it and the themed launcher. The only thing I would like to change is the app drawer. It is currently horizontal scrolling and I would like to change it to vertical 3d app drawer. Unfortunately, there is no launcher specific setting to modify.
Does anyone know of a way to change this. I am guessing it would require to modify the apk or something similar.
what launcher is it ??
have you opened the app drawer and pressed the menu button and see if the option is there ?
it is for some launchers
It looks to be a tweaked version of TWLauncher. I looked, but there is no specific settings or or preferences for the launcher. I was hoping there was because that would have been the easy solution. Thje only launcher that I have found to have this option is just called launcher. I am guessing that it is a ported version of the stock Froyo or Gingerbread launcher.
you can't change this in the app, but instead you can use the gingi launcher. It won;t have 5 dock bar and transparency but still... I recommend Go Launcher.

any one kow which theme or launcher is this

can anyone tell me which theme or launcher is it?
i want my dock to be like this..
Hard to tell. Some launchers like adw or launcherpro are very customizable. I bet you could make them look like this with some fiddling. Its most certainly not any brand launcher like samsungs TWlauncher or motoblur. I guess were looking at adw ex witb removed main dock and some custom icons. Actually a nice setup. I think I'll steal it

I think it s:
clock is minimalistic text (sure)
background is from new icecream android
dock is from launcher pro with changed icons

[Q] Use Launcher Pro with default app drawer?

Hi there!
I wonder if it is possible to use Launcher Pro for your homescreens in combination with the stock app drawer?
I looked around and most people said it wasnt possible.
But then I found this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017804
I wonder if something similar is possible with the Galaxy Nexus?
try it and find out. Also he was on 2.3 which may be different results. Would be cool because I'm missing custom launchers and but I like the stock drawer.
I've tried the custom ICS Nova launcher and its ok. I don't like having to flash it to get it running right.
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus CM9
Asus Transformer Revolver
the only reason why that works is because motorola added a shortcut to the app drawer, and because of how they coded it.
most likely this will be impossible with the stock launcher because there is no shortcut to launch it.

Problem with adw

I like adw ex cuz u can change icon size and remove labels, change label color in app drawer, etc. It seems to have bugs on the tablet tho. When swiping from page to page, widgets get "stretched" then they get stuck that way. Almost like the "morphing" the widgets do during page transitions get stuck. Anyone else seeing this and know of a fix? Or perhaps another launcher that has the aforementioned features? I'm using nova right now (prime).

adw is no longer supported... try apex launcher.should have what you're looking for
