[Q] ADW Dockbar swipe moves Main Dock Buttons - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I swipe up on the main dock to access the Dockbar, around 10% of the time it will display the dockbar but it will bring one of the shortcuts from the main dock and place it over my dockbar as if I long pressed said shortcut. I have searched for an answer and can't find anything. I've had this happen on ROMs cooked with ADW by default and with ADW downloaded from the market. Essentially it reduces the Dockbar's usability to zero
Any ideas?

Disabling the hidden dockbar feature helps.

Problem with ADW Launcher Ex Hidden dock bar

I just got my Atrix from Bell and i'm having problems with the hidden dock bar of my ADW Launcher Ex.
If I swipe up to show the hidden dock bar, i am unable to hide it back again. I've tried disabling it (i'm then stuck with no dock at all), resetting ADW... nothing. The only way i can bring back the dock bar is by uninstalling ADW and reinstalling it.
Anyone had the same issue?
Got my answer from traumatism on another post. Had to setup the swipe up action for ADW to show and hide the dock bar.

[Q] How do you hide the main dock in ADW EX

I just update ADW and in doing so it changed my setup including not a big deal, however after looking through all of the menu settings I cannot figure out how to hide the main dock bar. I did have my setting backed up but when I restore then the system revert back to the new ADW defaults. Anyone figure this out?
I just figured this out a few minutes ago.
adw settings -> general behavior -> gestures -> swipe down actions -> open/close dockbar
go back to main screen, swipe down on your screen to close the dock bar
go back to settings and change your gesture back to whatever you were using.

Nice find, I just found a way myself by long pressing on the screen and choosing launcher actions than open/close dock bar.
Now to find out how to place an icon outside of the blue square in other words place an icon anywhere on the screen as before.

Found a problem with both methods, if you rotate your tab the bar comes back up and you have to swipe it again.
If you don't want the dock disable it in the settings

That setting is missing with the recent update also the secondary dock is now gone in this update.
Did the update remove full screen use? Unless I am not understanding the settings in the update. I have been messing with it for an hour. Last update was amazing, this one, seems to have lost some functions.

Apparently the recent update consoldate the old "Dock Bar" and the "Main Dock". They seem to have removed the setting for show/hide the dock from the settings menu, but like others discovered you can still toggle it via the old "show/hide dock bar" command.

The developer has posted another update the fixes the hiding of the bar not sticking also you can use the whole screen again to place icons. I like ADW again.
Easiest thing I've found is to use the "Open/close Dockbar" shortcut.
Longpress desktop ~ Launcher Actions ~ Open/close Dockbar will put the shortcut on the desktop. Then you can open or close it with one touch instead of swiping and/or setting/resetting your ADW Settings.

floating dock (a replacement for the bottom dock available in most launchers)

in the gallery, the app options appears when I long-press on the screen.
I am hoping there is a way to do this for app shortcuts as well. so I could hide my dock and have a set of app shortcuts that I can easily access via tapping on the screening or swiping.
thanks

[Q] Quickly open Quick Settings?

I'm trying to set up a shortcut to open the JB quick settings window (the one you get by swiping the corner of the status bar, or swiping with two fingers, depending on your preference), and I can't seem to find a command for it anywhere. Not in Tasker, not in the Activities list, and no widget in the Play store that opens it with a tap. Oddly, I can use the Nova Launcher "Nova Actions" menu to create an "expand quick settings" button, but it can only sit on the home screen, while I want to add a button to my quick launch. If I could just create a widget or shortcut that toggles that button it'd work fine, but I can't find the functionality anywhere.
I'm running CM10.1. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Hide navbar from only homescreen?

I have searched high and low and tried many different things. Most modules I have found hide both the statusbar and the navbar and leaves the gap between my homescreen dock and the bottom of the screen as if the navbar was still there. I'm looking for some way to only hide the navbar from nova launcher as if i was to disable it (pushing my dock to the bottom). I know its not that big of a deal but it literally keeps me rearranging my homescreen everyday...please help!
