[APP] [QUESTION] Issue with CM7 and Beautiful/Fancy Widgets

So, I'm a big fan of the apps Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets...but the silly things will not work with CM7. Is there a setting that I'm missing, or something I'm not doing right?
If these just will not work at all, are there any valid replacements? I search and search on the forums, but I can't seem to find a solution. Any help on the matter is appreciated. Thanks guys.

Im using the MIUI themed Fancy Widget on CM7 just fine.. I'll download and try beautiful widgets as well just to check. Have you went to settings->applications->the app name->clear data?

No problems here use be on my home screen daily

Try un installing/ re installing? I run BW every day on CM7 no issues... also try clockworkmod and fix permissions... that mostly makes all crazy stuff better

Ok, so I've gotten the clock part working... had to fix permissions in Clockwork (thank you ibcenu), but now it's not displaying the weather portion. It tells me I'm in an unknown location - maybe it's because of a gps issue, I'm just not sure... I can use the new Superclock and display my battery, but I'd rather see what the weather's doing instead.

Yeah just go to configure the beautiful widget and set location it should work fine

and make sure it is NOT on your SD card..it has to be on the phone to work right...

this is the reason i dont use clockwork or rom manager !!!

My weather wont display when I choose Google as my provider (Fancy Widget Pro). I have to select Weather.com, or whatever it is.

ADW EX

This works fantastic, disabled the dock and currently running 10 rows 7 columns
Asus weather widget looks standard size.
The bookmarks widget looks fantastic the larger use make it, you just get more on the screen.
Totally awesome IMO well worth the money.

Is there a specific version that you are using for TF? Or any version of ADW EX work?

1.3 and above is what you're looking for. Previous versions doesn't have support for high density screens so the 5 icon dock will be squished in the center, 1.3 addresses this.

I've tryed all the transition animations and *curve* is the best non lag one out of the bunch. No matter how many widgets it just wont slow the butter smooth scrolling.

Can you post a screen shot? I'm just currious as to what the pros are for using this over stock?

Big pro's for me:
supports scrollable widgets
supports resizable widgets
Adjustable collumns and rows, currently running 9 x 7
more screens currently have 6
It scrolls fantastic, 100 times better than stock
3D transition affects
If the icon at the top left is bugging you? ask the developer! contacted them about various issues over the months and they always reply.

i installed adw ex 1.3.2 but cannot set it as default launcher. After installation when i hit the home icon there is no popup to let me choose launcher seems like it is not registered as a launcher..... i am not rooted......firmware is .13..... do i need to root to replace the stock launcher?
Experts please advise.

I assume you just go to settings > manage applications, then find launcher and press clear defaults, then press home and it should ask you.

well done....thanks....what a **** i have been, hahahahaha

Don't think its possible to just get rid of it. It looks like honeycomb places the app icon on the corner for some apps. The only way I can think of is to unpack the apk, put in a transparent icon, or change how it looks. Either way you do it though will reflect in the drawer also. Since this is a launcher though and it auto launches it might not matter that it will be an invisible icon. If it bothered me enough then I could just hide the app i guess.

[Q] ADW EX - Wallpaper shifting
Does anyone know how to stop the wallpaper from shifting? It seems to happen after turning off the screen or coming out of an app. It's driving me up the wall. I even downloaded some 2560x1600 wallpapers that people suggested to use and it still happens.
And on a side note selecting the option for the wallpaper to scroll doesn't do anything (in ADWsettings).
I love the ability to resize widgets but this wallpaper problem is making me go crazy

Not sure if that's related but when I installed GoLauncher my wallpaper also shifted. Even after uninstall and reboot it was still messed up. I had to select a different wallpaper and then select the old one again; then it was fixed. It seems that the 3rd party launcher don't work well with HC yet.

i found that if i turn off locking the screen orientation (i rarely ever use portrait mode) and changing the orientation the background resets itself. but it is still rather annoying having to tilt it portrait and tilt it back.
no one else has this problem?

The same thing happened to me when I tried to use "Wallpaper Wizardrii"...until I uninstalled, then switched wallpaper...I'd get the weird shift after every reorientation....like the wp was resizing each time.

I was having major issues with wallpapers in adw ex, ended up using multi wallpaper live wallpaper to solve this, it can show a single image or a slide show.
I think the adw dev just got a honeycomb tablet so hopefully it will be fixed.

That not the right size dimensions so it won't work if you want something that big try 2560x2035 or smaller 1610x1280
All my installed wallpapers are the latter and i never have any issues.

I just started using ADW EX, and whenever I try to resize any widgets, the screen seems to freeze. That is, I can still resize the widge, but I can't deselect it, or select anything else on the screen -- including app icons, which stop functioning. I have to kill the app and relaunch to get it to respond again.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
ADW is certainly feature-rich, but it is crying for some documentation, which I can't seem to find.

After you resize it, just hit the back button.

[Q] launchers

Haii there
How can install different launchers from other phones, like the xperia launcher, or HTC sense, and could you link them for me?
Thanks for your time <3

Download the .apk, when it says 'Download complete' in the notification tray click on it and it should install (or browse to it manually in a file explorer). Use the search tool and find the launchers yourself, I CBA but AFAIK only the Xperia and possibly TouchWiz launchers are available for download on other phones. Sense doesn't work.

Ahh, okay -.- , thanks for your time pal

Current favorites are:
1) GO Launcher
Tried it once a long time ago, I forget specifically what I didn't like about it.
2) Zeam
Haven't tried it. It is the newest popular one. Supposed to be super lean and fast.
3) LauncherPro
I like 5-columns of icons on my desktop. LP does this, but it won't stretch the widgets to match (in the free version), so that's a deal breaker for me.
4) ADW
Still my favorite (once properly configured). I like the "Black Glass" theme (with custom icons turned off). I also like a scrolling App Drawer (with scroll position memory) vs paging.
I have heard many people say they prefer something over ADW for this feature or that feature, but other then custom widgets that I don't use, those features are always in ADW, they just never played with the settings.
My widgets are: Google Search, Power Control, News&Weather, and FaceBook. The first 3 are safe (low memory, no lag), and the last one I just have to have or I'll never look at FaceBook at all. I don't trust any other widgets as they always seem to slow down my phone.

Ics update bugs

I have recently updated my GT-p6200 to ICS(Hate it) and found lots of bugs.
1. Message Icon in the home screen is showing 1 unread message without any unread one (The Menu Message icon is Normal) , when i restart all backs to normal.Please hit a solution for me.
2. I had Chrome like New tab feature with fav sites widgets in my old gingerbread browser and this ICS browser is normal, Any thing can be done for this?
3. It hangs a lot when many apps are opened simultaneously even when Ram is free.
4. Everytime I come back to Homescreen after closing any app it take time to come to normal ,it seems like it refreshes everytime.Please give some solution at-least for the first question as it is the most irritating one.
5.Do someone have detail explanation for developer option s in settings.
Please reply with solutions.
Thanks

1. You might have killed the process using some task manager. Not sure. If you're gonna use Nova at number 4, try Tesla Unread Plugin.
2. Download Chrome Browser
3. You may have an app or some apps that causes lag. In my experience, playing some huge games while doing other stuffs(e.g. Browser, Slices, and etc.) did not lag at all. Investigate as to which app is causing the intensive usage of your CPU.
4. Change the stock Launcher to either Apex or Nova. There are others too like Go Launcher HD for Pad and etc. I personally recommend Apex or Nova. Make sure to make it as default and keep in memory for less withdraws. Also you might be using the built-in task manager to kill all apps at once, this apparently also kills the stock launcher if you are not on the homescreen or app drawer. Same goes even for other launchers. Avoid using that without being on the homescreen.
5. Google that.

Hi
Could someone also check if the front camera is downgraded to 0.3 megapixel?
Mine says 640x480 after official ics update, philippines

Question Launcher apps for the cover display?

Hi I was wondering if anyone found a launcher that would be optimized for the cover display?
Currently I installed Hyperion and added it to goodlocks widget and while the app icons are resized for the coverscreen and I can launch all my apps from there, I was hoping if anyone tried any other launchers that function better
And yes I am aware of samsprung and coverscreen os, I have samsprung installed but I like the fact that goodlocks implementation allows for gesture nav to work and it allows for the fingerprint reader to unlock my phone without Bixby

That's not a half bad idea. I hadn't even thought of using the widget to launch a launcher.

Ya so far it's been working great, it gets me around the 5 app limit, I did the same thing with your original widget as well for fun but since there wasn't a way to press a back button back then it was ultimately pointless but with goodlocks widget I find it useful despite some limitations(picture in picture mode still works so YouTube videos need to closed or else you'll have a bad time)
I thought an android tv launcher would work better but the ones available on the app store are super glitchy

There used to be a launcher inside Kodi. I wonder how that would do being made to support almost anything.
