Good morning everyone, I took a look through xda but couldn't find a solution to this problem.
I'm trying to overlap a custom slider (ics_invisible) directly on top of a 2x1 time widget made with "Make Your Clock Widget", but keep the slider on top of the time widget.
I've placed the time widget in the centre of the screen where I want it, and then placed the slider below it:
View attachment 1066771
Using "Resize", I dragged up the slider until it sits directly over the time widget:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It works like a charm at first, but eventually, somehow the time widget gets layered on top of the slider so I'm unable to select the middle of the slider. I've tried changing the order in which I'm inserting the time & slider and how I resize them, but it always ends with the time widget sitting on top again.
Any help to getting the slider to stay on top of the time widget would be very helpful! Thanks

try long hold on the clock and selecting move to back. Should prevent that issue.

Anyone out there using an alternative digital clock for their home they could recommend?
Im just looking for a basic clock widget so no weather widget suggestions lol...
I want to see how much difference this would make to my battery instead of having my usual weather widget installed and updating regularly..

Holding the time for me just fine. Though I have my clock set to not sync to network time.
SETTINGS> Date & Time Settings> Automatic (deselect this)

When you say that it doesn't update (or takes a minute) that when you boot the phone up, the time just displays Hh:Mm where the time should be?
I found the quicker way to sort it (me being impatient) is remove the widget from the home screen and then re-add it. 95% of the time it will show the time straight away.
I have had launcher pro for a very long time now and I don't want to change launchers but I am getting sick if its look. I have customized the dock recentley to my liking but what about the icons? I want to be able to change the icons of things that are placed in one of my 7 home screens but I can't seem to find a way to do that. Please help!
Here is what my.dock looks like now. I really want to change the icons :

Put whatever icons you want to have as your dock icons onto your phone, long press the icon you want to change, select Custom Icon, navigate to the icon you want and select it.
Custom icon.

i dont think you understand, i want to customize the icons on my screens, not on my dock, this didnt really help but thanks for your effort! anyone else?
You'll have to re-add all icons, but instead of dragging the shortcut from the app drawer to the screen hit menu>add>shortcut>applications. Pick the app, then it gives you the option to change the icon.

did you ever figure out how to do this i would like to do this on an old android phone i use as a music player

Got to be honest, I thought this was wrong, but hey, you can!
Btw, maybe try 'Folder Organizer' and then you drop short cuts to folders on your screen instead of app shortcuts.

thanks! i will deffinetley try that
I stumbled across this app/widget in the Market and was amazed that such a powerful app had only gotten about 5000 downloads in half a year (evil circle - no downloads, no one sees it, no one downloads).
What the app is is a note app that has text, drawing and audio notes and a matching widget. What makes this special is the amount of customization options you have with it, especially the ability to scale it to full tablet screens without that messing anything up.
What I did was to dedicate an entire homescreen to the widget, set the background to fully transparent, activate the quick save button and set the main app to draw on homescreen which means that it uses an image of the homescreen as the background when you're in the main app. The result is that the home screen page doesn't show ANY indication of a widget being there, but when you click it, the main app launches which with the home screen background looks like some controls simply magically appeared on the home screen. I can then do notes and click and hold the save button, which brings me back to the homescreen and the widget gets updated with the note.
A picture is worth a thousand words so the below screenshots shows what I'm talking about. The first 1/3 of the screenshot shows the widget with some notes on it. The second 1/3 shows the main app which with the way mine is set up looks just like if some buttons appeared on the home screen. The last 1/3 is just to show one of the 4 tabs of settings to show how customizable this is.

The way I have it set up is just an example, you don't need to go fullscreen or transparent background or anything like that. I just thought it would be the best way to show it off as I've gone through literally dozens of note widgets on the 7.0 Plus with the same results; small widgets, not scalable, scalable but pixelated, looks like it's made in paint, etc. This is the first one I've found that actually works well on a tablet.

hahaha wow. this is legit!
Hi folks,
I'm looking for an app where if I press a shortcut (from Pie specifically), it will bring up a bunch of pre-defined app shortcuts.
Simi folder works well, but the problem for me is that it positions itself oddly. Its fine if I launch it from the dock row of icons (which I actually want to replace) but because Pie is built into systemUI, it positions itself near the status bar.
I dont want something that swipes from the side of the screen or similar. I just want to press a button and have the icons pop up, preferably in a predefined location, but at least not at the top of the screen
This is what simifolder looks like (as launched from home screen)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which would be perfect, except the problem is if launched from Pie, its at the top of the screen, which is annoying.
Does anyone know of similar apps that would do this, launchable from a custom shortcut?
Did you already try out PopUp Widget?

Quite nice, maybe for you...

No but it does look good... I could make a nice UCCW widget for the apps I want to launch.
Open to other ideas too.

I prefer Zooper, but I am just in the first steps with popup widget. UCCW should work, too.

Title explains it. Is there a way to remap the phone icon on the stock TW Launcher so it will launch the Google dialer app instead of the stock phone app?
Doubtful, but if ya wanna try and a really great full screen launcher give Total Launcher a try, I'm 100% Certain you could remake the left and right shortcut keys in it with the home page indicator too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.launcher2&hl=en
I've been using Total Launcher for around 2 or 3 months now and haven't looked back at the TW Launcher
My home screens soft key row

I'm using MRU (Most recently used widget) with 5 rows and 7 coulmns
As you can see, you could set up that bottom row on every single home screen page
You wouldn't need a app launcher icon as one of their home screen pages is the app drawer, so you could get creative and put a sms icon on the right side or whatever even leave it blank
You can even change the icon to any image you like
Now you can see a near complete edge launcher tw replica, I done the phone text shortcut as its more aesthetically pleasing to the eye with the stuff that has the soft menu on the right side of the screen.
If I can figure out a way to add any application as a shortcut I made out of a camera shortcut it has a text messages shortcut as well.
Camera
1st way
2nd way
I changed it up a lil
I think it's safe to say with Total Launcher making Note Edge Launcher TW Clone Homescreen the options are quite endless.

Changed it up a lil with Elixir 2
One more change added my own customized app drawer so I could get both left right shortchuts and a page indicator
