[Q] Window size on ICS Roms - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Is it only me or is it an issue with ICS on skyrocket. On all the ROMs I tried all giving the same issue.
The window size for most of the context menu options ( e.g. trying to add Widgets) is very small compared to the original I see on GB.
I am using ICS on my KindleFire also, and don't see this issue there.
So this seems something related to ICS and Skyrocket.
Anyone else to confirm this?

Is it a launcher issue? I have the ported SG3 TouchwizUX and stock Touchwiz loaded on ucle2. Add widget menus looks like this...

Personally I'm running the Apex launcher and I absolutely love it. By far my favorite launcher from speed to customization to down right sexiness. Here's what the widget menus look like, as well as my apollo widget made resizable by Apex (Sorry for the watermark)

Should probably also state I'm running CM9-6/20 Nightly on UCLE2

Its not only the Adding Widget Screen, its everywhere.
See the screen from Poker Deluxe Game.
The window is clipped.

Could not find a solution for this issue, moved back to GB 2.3.6

[Q] launcherpro cause glitchy app drawer

Im currently on bionix rom but even on stock i had this problem
i want to know if anyone else is experiancing this problem
Launcher pro plus (paid)
stock launcher gives you 3D scrolling stock with gingerbread witch is great! but when u switch to launcher pro they replace your stock app drawer with theres, witch is not 3d then you may go into settings and switch it to there "May be buggy" 3d drawer on my other devices this is great looks/feels 100% real but on my nexus i scroll down perfect but soon as i tap the screen without scrolling motion it pops straight to the top of list and if i just want to scroll up just a bit it will go straight to the top VERY annoying i cant find the app i actually want..but i love launcherpro lol could it be the stock 3d drawer is conflicting with theres?
Doesnt do that on mine. 3D app drawer works great. Im runnin cm 7 btw
This is a known issue with Launcher Pro (hence the "may be buggy" warning).
I reported it on the Launcher Pro support web site on December 18th. No acknowledgement from the author yet. You might want to go there and add your two cents worth.
There's posts in that thread that say it happens in CM6 ROMs as well as the Nexus One Gingerbread builds, so if it's working for chris in post 2 than Cyanogen has fixed it, or he's not running Launcher Pro.
Me Too
I have switched to ADW again...because of glitchie 3d drawer and icons disappearing from Folders that i create. The icon is there, just not the icons image...it goes to the default green and white android icon after reboot. Also, ADW's screen transitions are beautiful.
yeah this identical problem even happens on the latest cyanogen nightlies for the nexus one. it is some incompatibility with launcher pro and latest builds, and i guess it exists on gingerbreadd as well. hopefully it will be fixed soon. for now i just use the non-3d app drawer on LP.
counting on launcher pro is a paid app they should really get into this ....but ya it sucks when your friends have inferior phones, and use 3d app drawer and my nexus s is so plaaainnn lol

I found a interested Launcher today browsing through the market..

As stated in the title I found a interesting Launcher today browsing through the market, heres a link
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNuLnl1bm1haS5jY2xhdW5jaGVyIl0.
It operates very similar to like ICS 4.0, issues I found with this launcher though is that it has very little to no customization. If someone here with the skills, talent and know how would like to take on the task on editing this Launcher like for example adding or deleting pages, adding or removing the 3D option, adding scrollable widget support and change icon support that would be great.
I don't know one thing about editing stuff like this or working on apps but I'm sure someone here does and would like to see a great working ICS launcher on devices working on Gingerbread and lower.
This launcher has a lot of potential because it is the first launcher to work very similar to ICS 4.0 down to the app drawer screen transition to the Holo effect on the main screen and it works on Gingerbread and lower devices while Nova launcher, Apex launcher and Trebuchet only work on ICS.
Anyways just my 2 cents here, have a good day everyone..

[Q] Mod home screen n notification bar

Is it possible to mod Home screen like touhwiz and toggle shortcuts in notification bat other than go launcher?
For now, the closest you can probably get is TW Launcher (available from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883) and one of the apps available from the market that adds toggles to the notification pulldown (search: "notification toggle").
EDIT: Actually, you'll need to use one of the older versions of TW Launcher that has been tweaked for our QHD screens. You can find them here: http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/motorola-atrix-themes/3242-touchwiz-4-5-launcher-touch-sii.html

I have used that tw launcher on my infuse and it was unstable for me. I don't know how it acts on the A2 but on the infuse it constantly rebooted my phone.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I used it on my old Optimus 2x with both the stock ROM and CM7 and apart from an occasional FC while tweaking the settings, I found it to be very reliable.
I guess mileage varies depending on your hardware.
Personally, I think Motorola's launcher is one of the best one's I've ever come across, and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all (including some rather obscure ones), so I'm sticking with it for now.

[Q] Calendar Widget months scrolling

I have searched the web and the forums thin looking for a Calendar Widget with the same behavior as the stock Sense calendar. Im not talking about the Agenda one, im talking about the month view version of it.
I know about, and have tried Jorte, Pure Grid calendar and some other similar ones, but none of them has the behavior that i really like from the Sense one.
I want a calendar that ONLY shows one month at a time, and when i scroll up and down it should jump one whole month instead of scrolling smooth a week at a time...
APW Calendar sort of does it, but it does not support scrolling, it can only jump with buttons...
Can it really be that the Sense style Widget have not been ported to run on other launchers..?! Or that anyone haven't made something like what i'm looking for?
(I'm using ARHD 6.2.1 ICS with ADW Launcher EX, on a Sensation XE)

Yeah I have tried that too, and i really liked it, but i prefer ADW Launcher to GO, so i was kind of hoping a calendar like that existed somewhere else
I use launcher pro and that had a similar widget ... really loved it.
Problem is that LPP widget does not work on ICS based roms. Once you try it to place the widget on the screen, it will crash and then LPP will continuously crash. There is no way to get LPP to work again without reinstalling the rom.
Am keen on getting a similar widget and sincerely hope that someone points me to one

[Q] Working custom icons in ICS?

Desktop vizualizer makes icfons at half size, with no way to fix as far as i can tell, i've told them but have gotten no reply.
folder organizer items work, but it places the shortcuts as a widget instead of a shortcut like it did in honeycomb.
so right now i have no way to add normal shortcuts to my homescreen with a custom icon.
does anyone have any apps that work properly?
I used adw for my custom shortcuts
Sent from my Cornerstone powered Team EOS TF101
not really a lot of help. i'm not asking for a custom launcher. ICS launcher is just fine. i just want to be able to actually make custom icons like i could in honeycomb.
i find it really hard to believe that no one running this tablet on ICS with a stock launcher is using custom icons. come on.

Have you tried Nova Launcher? Its basically the Stock Launcher, but allows for editing/resizing Icons and Widgets. Plus, you can install Icon packs for ADW and manually assign Icons of your choice to whatever you want...then resize them if you want.
Nova has a free version, and a Prime version with a few extra fun features. Both are in the Market.
yeah i've tried nova and the others, and personally i don't like/want to use them. i find the stock launcher just fine.
i'm just annoyed because for the first time in android history, i can't make custom icons work right. and i'm just shocked that it seems that no one else here is using custom icons on a stock launcher.
there are some ics roms out there already? are you rooted?

So you seem to be stuck on using the Stock launcher.
Well if you had tried Nova as you said, then I got to know, what about Nova didn't you like? I mean, Nova is basically stock from the look, and it adds the ability to use custom icons or ones from an icon pack, and allows you to resize them...which is what you are complaining about.
So, what is it about needing/wanting to use stock launcher, when Nova is stock with a few added features, one of which is using custom icons.
i don't have my TF rooted, so i lose the widgets menu, it doesn't have the tablet transitions, app drawer is 5x5 instead of 8x5. and to be honest, it's not as smooth as the stock ics launcher for me.
and honestly, i'm just still in a shock that apparently everyone is just using nova or adw.
i refuse to believe that i am the only person on this forum with an ICS transformer that is using the stock launcher with custom icons. that cannot be possible.
