Press on the empty area, widgets - launch-x. once widgat is on screen press the little circle button bottom right of widget, which takes you to the settings. you canadd widgets and shortcut by pressing select widget items then press the menu key to add apps, contacts and short cuts. also on the main settings page for launch-x where it says widget preview you can drag and drop icons to put them in any order you want. hope this helps

Hi
If we add some widget to Home we do as below.
long press in home menu -> select Widget list menu -> select proper widget to add
However sometimes we can see the widget in wideget list menu even if we already delete the app.
Do you know how to delete the widget list already removed in widget list menu?

Is there a way to create an icon on my home screen, that when tapped, would act as a shortcut and open up a widget, such as a calendar widget?

Like what widget? You can add a widget to your homescreen by long press on the home screen. The menu will pop up and you can select from the widgets you have... you can also create a shortcut to any app by the same long press and selecting shortcuts...

If you're opening up something its an activity/app not a widget. You don't open a widget a widget opens an app.
I think OP is talking about having a shortcut that applies a widget to the home screen. I find that this would be useful if you say had a backup of your homescreen. Whenever I load a backup of a homescreen configuration I had, the widgets would always say "problem loading widget." The backup only restores shortcuts and placements. So this would save you from having to delete and readd widgets.
I have 2 suggestions.
Power Strip

or Quickdesk Beta/Pro
https://market.android.com/details?id=sg.ruqqq.quickdesk&feature=search_result
I use them both. here's a brief run down of how they each work
Power strip - it's a bar along the bottom of the screen with buttons for access to all your installed applications, shortcuts, widgets and whatever else you can figure out to put in it. i LOVE IT. It's 2 bux, but WELL worth the cost IMO. you can assign it to your home button or the hold search key (i use the home button for quick and easy access) but you can stuff as many widgets in there are you want and THEN SOME.. it's awesome! PLUS.. you can set it up to launch in ANY APP. say you're in maps.. but o snaps.. you forgot to turn on the wifi.. hold search and up comes powerstrip without even leaving maps.. you have your settings widget on the bar.. open it up.. tap the wifi button. slap the back key to exit powerstrip and voila.
Quickdesk - think if it as ONE of the panels from you homescreen. It's just one page that you can put widgets on.. on shortcoming... no scrolling widgets with this one. but likewise it can be accessed anywhere without leaving whatver app you're in.
These are both GREAT choices and i use them both... powerstrip is DEFINITELY the more flexible of the two though.

Ok just to confirm, a lot Widgets CANNOT be activated without being as widgets on the main screen. However, in launcher pro (not sure about other launchers), if you hard press and select "shortcuts">"application" then select the widgets (if u see any) that u like. It will also give u an option to customize the icon of your choice. This is one way to activate a widget by simply clicking the icon. Hope I helped.

(1st thread and post, just wanted to share this).
Hello, and welcome to my tutorial on how to install Sense 4.0 on your android. Like the title says, these are all apps from the play store, and will require some tweaking, which I will take you through. Let's get started
Step 1: Installing your apps.
First, we will need some apps that will contain the lockscreen, interface, and some Sense-Like widgets. Here is a list of the apps you need to install:
Agile Lock free
Go Launcher EX
HTC Sense 4.0 (One X) Go Theme
Sense V2 Flip Clock & Weather
Android Pro Widgets
TV Show Favs
Once you've done this, press the Home key, and select Go Launcher EX as your home replacement, not Agile Lock.
Step 2: Lockscreen
Open up the Agile Lock app, and press either Yes or Never Show. Then press the power button. Next, press the settings button, and press continue. Then, press "Top Style Setting", and uncheck "Display weather widget". Go back, and uncheck screen lock sounds, unlock vibrate, and display music control.
Step 3: Theme
Press the menu key, and go to themes. Scroll over to the installed page, and apply the sense 4.0 theme.
Step 4: Preferences
Press the menu key again, but this time press preferences. Check infinite scrolling. Click visual settings. Scroll over to "Icons" and select the icon size as "Default Size". Then scroll over to "Indicator" and click Screen Indicator. Press Hide Indicator. Then go back. Press "Appearance Settings". Scroll over to App Drawer. Select the Grid Size as "Custom Grids" and make it 5x4. Don't select the 5x4 preset, as it doesn't work correctly.
Step 5: Setting Up The Homescreens
For your main homescreen, set a 4x2 Sense clock. Select your location (It might find it for you), and then uncheck display 24 hour time, and check am/pm. Next, get rid of all the preset apps. You can set up any apps you want, but I personally set a default LTEvo setup, (Contacts, Play Store, Google Apps Folder w/ Gmail, Talk, Maps, G+, and Voicemail). Same goes for your dock (LTEvo = Phone, Email, Apps, Messaging, Camera).
Keep in mind, this is just an LTEvo setup, you can fit your own fancy.
Scroll to the left once. For this, set a 4x4 People Widget.
Scroll left again. Set a 4x4 Calender widget.
Once again, to the left, I personally just set a google play music widget, and resized it to a 4x4, but you can just put whatever you want for a music widget.
Go back to the right once from the homescreen. Set a google search widget.
To the right again, set a bookmarks widget
On the last right page, set a 4x4 TV Show Favs widget. It will bring up a login. If for any reason you have an account already, use it. Otherwise, make one. Now if you don't make one, the widget won't show. Make another one, but with a tv show stack widget. If you back out again, it will be clear, which won't look good. If you make an account, it will be black, so that is preferable.
That's it. You will have a sense 4.0 like experience. I hope you like it. And remember it's OK to customize it!
Has anyone noticed that current 'widget' select layout is annoying? I mean if you need some apps widget that starts with 'Q' or smthng like that you need to scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll.... TOTALLY USELESS!
Far more better would be if in the widget selection menu there would be each app folder organised(3x4 for example), and then in the selected app folder all the widgets app developers has been made.... I mean that each app has its own widget folder then you go into the folder and THEN choose one of dosens of the widget sizes not like now that all the given widgets are in 'one' page and its hard to find and oriantate...
It would arrange the widget mess if you have lots of apps that does have widgets and you dont have to scroll like mad to get to your needed widget!
What are you thinking about this topic?
Maybe we could somehow whisper the idea to 'android' side?
I've installed a timer app on my S3. I can find it by pressing the lower button and rotating the bezel.
Can I speed this up by adding the Timer to the list of widgets I get when I rotate the bezel to the right?
I found "add widget" at the end of this list, but "Timer" wasn't in the list offered.
Add a widget for 6 shortcuts app and put a timer on one of the shortcut. You rotate the bezel to the right and view the 6 shortcuts and press on timer shortcut -> one rotate and 1 click.
Do I have to install a new app "6 shortcuts"?
I haven't come across this before.
Do I have to install a new app "6 shortcuts"?
I haven't come across this before.
One of the widgets that you will have pre-installed is for 6 shortcuts. If you long press on the widget, you'll be able to edit any of the shortcuts.
Oh, I see. I have two of those 6 shortcut things in my rotate the bezel right list. I'll experiment with those. My first task will to be to find out what the one in the middle does (apart from presenting me with SEVEN items) ?

Middle is just a shortcut to the app carrousel like the dow button of the watch.
What app for countdown timer?
