[Q] Reverting back to ICS apps from JB? - General Questions and Answers

For example, I liked how the old ICS flashlight widget "Assistive Light" is bigger than the JB version. Is there a way to take the ICS version and put it on the JB version? Same goes for the "Alarm Clock" widget

No resizable widgets with ICS??

I just updated from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 on i9023.
Everything seems to be working perfect but I see no option to re-size widgets in the stock launcher? Even those I was able to with ADW launcher on GB, I thought the ICS stock launcher was able to re-size.
Did something go wrong with the update? Anyone else with the problem?
Just long press on the widget and drag it to the desired size.
Ok it seems like the ics launcher has very limited capability of resizing, only a few widgets I can resize whereas ADW resized pretty much everything. I am unable to resize the animated analog clock widget and a few other widgets that ADW could.

[Q] Buged Wallpaper lockscreen?

So i have the latest version of Arhd.
there is the settings option for the Wallpaper Lockscreen, It askes if i want to use a custom wallpaper. I pick a diffrent picture. But my lockscreen is still the same as my homepage.... Is this normal or just me?
Known bug in ICS. Don't think anyone has a fix. Worked in GB though - kinda miss it.

[Q] Window size on ICS Roms

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

What launcher and theme gets the closest Vanilla ICS?

Hi,
I've never been into changing launchers as I've heard that it has a negative effect on battery life. What I really want is to get is the something thats as light as vanilla ICS on the galaxy Nexus. What launcher/theme can do this, without having an effect on battery?
Hi mate, are you using a Samsung ROM? Because obviously they have TouchWiz and all of Samsung's style all over them (not for me AT ALL). The closest you can get to vanilla ICS is an AOSP ROM (CM9 or similar) and using the stock theme and launcher (varies from ROM to ROM, its usually Trebuchet though).
I'm personally using Staxx's latest PARANOIDANDROID build, with the ICS Fixer theme (free on the market) and Apex launcher with the stock launcher frozen via Titanium Backup. No battery drain whatsoever from Apex and the ICS Fixer theme just uses the stock Ice Cream Sandwich theme with everything (pop-ups, menus, progress bars etc.) themed to suit Android 4.0. Looks great + has fantastic battery life in my opinion
Hope that helps you out.

Nova Launcher and Apex are good, but only if you are willing/able to pay for them as without the upgrade they can't even show you unread notifications (something that for me is a must within any launcher).

Synergy Calendar

I love the calendar (mostly the widget) in Synergy ROM (ICS) so does anyone know if it can me moved into a Jelly Bean ROM like Liquid JB ROM?

Well I tried but could not get it to install. I can't find anything to compare to the calendar widget in Synergy in the Play Store.... damn!!!
I would have to see a picture, but the touch wiz widget is very nice, i also like the widget from business calendar, might try those
Synergy does have a Jelly Bean version out. Dunno it's progress as I've been mostly on CM10 for a while.
