I'd like to know if it's possible to create a proper shortcut to launch widgetlocker; I know there's an activity shortcut when adding it to desktop, but I'd like to start widgetlocker using the swipe up action of adw launcher and in order to do that it needs to be a simple shortcut to the app.
Anyone knows how to do that?

muy buena app
Hi, just Did that on my Defy. with Go Launcher, but should be the same with ADW
go to settings , select wipe up or down, then choose shortcut, there you should find an entry Widget Locker Lock now. Choose it. and you're done.
Thanks, but as I said before adw launcher lets me choose only from the installed apps (the ones which appear in the app drawer), therefore I cannot select "widgetlocker lock now".

Hi, that's because on ADW it's not in the apps section. Don't click "applications" on the main shortcut selection list. Just scroll down.

How would I go about changing the icon & name of an application? Or removing the app from my app list without uninstalling it..
You can do this with DX-Top. Install icon packs and fonts,rename apps and hide apps.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!

If you are looking to change the icon and name of an app on any of your homescreens, then that's easily done with any of the newer versions of Launcher Pro. Just update the software, and when you add an icon to the homescreen, it will show you a window allowing you to change the name and icon of a shortcut. Hiding apps from the launcer is also a feature of Launcher Pro. Just go into Launcher Pro preferences, general settings, and hidden apps. From there, hide what you want.

I have the latest version of LauncherPro Plus, and it doesnt ever ask me to change the names or icons (Thats only for the dock apps)
I'm trying to share what I found so far, please share yours.
1. Create a shortcut to "hidden apps" (3D Gallery, Music app) on your Xperia X10.
a. Install ADW Launcher (the one I use)
b. Create a custom shortcut and click Pick your Activity button
c. Choose ADW Activity. It will show what activities available inside your phone.
d. Choose Gallery to make a 3D gallery or Music to make Music app shortcut.
2. Create a multi home launcher.
a. Install ADW Launcher (the one I use)
b. Make it default launcher
c. Create a custom shortcut and click Pick your Activity button
c. Choose ADW Activity. It will show what activities available inside your phone.
d. Choose your other launcher from here (Home, Launcher Pro,etc).
e. There you got multi launcher.
Or just use Home Switcher

Hi,
Try a launcher like ADW Launcher, Zeam, or Launcher Pro. You can change name of shortcuts, apps, folders, whatever through homescreen launcher (not the default one / ROM built-in launcher). Just long press on your home screen or go to menu and choose add, then you select shortcuts. You may choose any kind of shortcuts from there. Afterthat you can long press on the shortcut to change any action, name, or icon.
I use ADWLauncherEX daily. You can try the free one or other launchers. Find them in the market.
Good luck.

i have install the ADWLauncherEx.
if i use ADWLauncher, i can't use SPB mobile shell.
so i think i need to change the application name.
tks all the same.
Is it possible to access the Personalize menu from another launcher somehow? Going to Menu -> Settings -> Personalize does nothing at all from inside ADW... and it's the only way to customize the lock screen and whatnot... I can uninstall ADW, go back to Sense and it works, but I don't use Sense... and it would be nice if I could just hit a button or whatever and get there without having to change my home launcher...
OK this may or may not work. I know if you are in sense as the launcher, you can open adw with the app shortcut in the drawer, so, in adw can you just make a shortcut to sense, and click that?

Thanks for the suggestion, but Sense doesn't show up in in the list when trying to add a shortcut or any widget or anything.

lol it wouldn't be that easy. I was more hoping you could find the intent in the launcher action/system function list...
My workaround is to go into applications and clear defaults on whatever launcher im using and press home and switch to sense and then personalize what i need and go back and reset my alternative launcher to default. Kind of a pain but it works. Wish i had a quick shortcut to suggest.
I just upgraded from a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant SGH-T959
running android 2.2 Bionix-v 1.3.1 by Team Whiskey.
On the Vibrant rom, When I click the apps icon on the bottom my apps appear and the apps scroll vertically.
Is it possible for this Samsung Galaxy S ii SGH-I777 to set to also scroll the apps vertically?
I believe you need to install a launcher such as ADW or Launcher Pro to scroll the app drawer vertically.
If you open up the settings for the app drawer there is an option for view type, select alphabetical list and you will have vertical scroll.
settings for the app drawer? Where are the settings for the app drawer? How to access. I do not see anything called app drawer settings. Or are you talking about the Launcher Pro program?

open the app drawer and press the menu button. there is an option to have a list, instead of the grid. while the list does scroll vertically, it is individual, and not a 4x4 grid that will scroll like in sense. you can always try a 3rd party launcher, those will over ride the TW launcher and give you what you're looking for

Apps/Icons in drawer cannot scroll vertically unless you use a different launcher.
However you can change the app drawer to scroll vertically if you want to
change the view type to "Alphabetical List" where it has the icons on the
right side with full names of them in a row.
Go into the app drawer and click the menu key and select "view type" to
see what I meant.
I would suggest NOT to use a different launcher because the stock one
is a lot faster and very much smoother than any launcher I have tested
so far. (and I have tested just about all of them).
