Rooted nook on cm 7, after I started using it today, I lost my status bar and soft buttons. I did not go into settings and change anything. Any direction towards some help on adw launcher would be appreciated.
Thanks

Try reboot? I have lost my launcher a few times. My status bar once or twice. A reboot always fixes it. Not exactly sure yet what has caused it. If it happens again, get a logcat or dmesg and post it up for the cm7 team to check out.

The status bar disappearing I believe is a CM7 issue in and of itself. I run CM7 on my phone and it has happened on the phone more than the NT.

Thanks for the responses. A reboot has brought everything back as it was. Enjoying my CM7 tablet and the support on this forum!

I'm sure the regular version of ADW has this too but I have the paid version to go off of. You can set gestures to show/hide the "DockBar" and/or "StatusBar". Regardless of wether it was a gesture or a glitch you may want to try this if it happens again:
Long press on a blank space on the home screen.
Select "Launcher Actions" from the menu.
Select which ever you need: "Show/hide statusbar" or "Open/close DockBar"
Then just press the new icon on the home screen to restore the statusbar or dock.

Personally, my status bar disappeared without error. Nothing I did would get it to restart other than a quick reboot. Which I am accustomed to anyhow so it's not really a big deal to me. As for the launcher disappearing, it happened. No error. Reset/restart ADW does nothing. Again, this has happened on my NT, my phone, and a coworkers HD2 phone running cm7 as well. It's basically something that I (and her as well) have just learned to live with. Restarting is quick enough to bring everything back to life.

I've got the paid version on four devices (Two NT's, a HD2 and a G2) and have never seen this. Perhaps it's an intentional limitation in the free version... :p Just kidding. I'd send the author an email about it. Try the widgets I suggested, I'm curious to know if they work to remedy this. Also check that "Gestures" isn't turned on and configured in the Setting (if that's even in the free version).
