Asus weather widget looks standard size.

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.

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.
Hi, I believe i found a cause of the horizontal artifacts on the widgets. I first noticed that they appeared after app2sding most of the apps. After a restart, the apps that were sent to the SD card all had the generic Android icon, and the artifacts appeared. If i apply a Sense skin, they go away and the icons return to normal. I moved all of my apps back to the phone memory and the artifacts have not happened.
Can anyone else confirm that this is true?

The exact same thing, in the exact same order, happened to me. So not sure about causation, but there is certainly correlation.
I am not moving apps to the SD card anymore, but occasionally some shortcuts become generic android icons (apps are still there and working). Re-creating a shortcut resolves the problem.
When I use the official Facebook widget I get horizontal lines annd with the offical Twitter widget. That's only when flipping through the screens.

I have the same problem as well....But it only happens when I am flipping through my home screens.
Good observation, I used to have those lines. And they haven't been appearing in a while, about the same time i moved all my apps to the PHONE memory (i used to have lines when opening folders.)
I think you found a solution.
I've got the exact same problem with my widgets and folders. Any solution ?
Ok. Ive been having a weird wallpaper issue. Every time I reboot my phone it defaults to some weird wallpaper. Ive wiped data, system, cache, davlik. The problem started on Th3ory Nons3ns3 Rom. But i suspect its an app I installed because im running Bamf Forever now(best rom to date) and im still getting this wallpaper change on every reboot. Thanks beforehand for the help
Post the wallpaper.
Or a screencap.
Bamf has a built in utility.
Sure. Here you go good sir.
The weird thing is that the first couple times i noticed the change of wallpaper it wasn't this pic. But the last 3 days or so, it changes to this pic every time. Next im thinking to delete all wallpaper apps. After that I figure i should reformat SD card?

Sounds like the best course of action at this point.
Good news:
I know where that picture came from:
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110926.html
Bad news:
I do not know why it would default to that image unless you downloaded it and have it in a wallpaper app folder.
My wallpaper was acting screwy because I use adw but the defualt sense launcher would overwrite because it connects to the Personalize changes option you make in sense (for the lockscreen and background). If you are using a different launcher the sense launcher defaults could be screwing with it. You have to clear the new launcher as default, go back to Personalize for the sense launcher and fix the defaults for lockscreen, background, etc.
Hi,
Device : Nexus 5 international version (LG-D821) 16 Gb.
System : Stock 4.4.2/KOT49H, unrooted, locked (updated from original 4.4 via OTA)
My problem is the following: I can't set the wallpaper using the regular way (tapping screen/wallpaper/select picture/picking any picture from any folder) and get a error message at the bottom (even before actually setting it) which says 'Can't load picture'.
I get this message on any picture (camera pictures, my own wallpaper folder, downloaded pictures, whatever) anywhere.
So, right now I'm forced to use the gallery app and the "use as wallpaper" function (and 100% of all the pictures I have work fine).
I'm not sure it's a 4.4.2 related issue, I can't remember if I changed the wallpaper using the very same way right after the OTA. What I do remember is it worked perfectly on 4.4.
So I wonder if it's a known 4.4.2 issue/bug.
It doesn't seem related to the files or folders themselves since it used to work on 4.4 and still work through the gallery.
Anyway, any help appreciated.
Thank you for reading
Eric

I thought that the "regular" way you describe in your first paragraph is in fact a function of the gallery app.

Are you able to set the stock wallpapers through the regular way or is that only related to you picking pictures that you have downloaded or copied to your phone?
It might be due to format, file size etc... If it is the latter.

I can pick stock wallpapers (have no idea where they are located btw) that way but no picture of any kind (except when running Gallery and 'using them as wallaper'). I haven't messed up with the folders or the files and it works fine anyway, again, from the Gallery app.

Upload one of the pictures you're trying to use as a wallpaper. I'll try to recreate this on my phone and see if I end up with the same issues.

Hey,
Can any one tell me how can I save a picture in the default wallpaper folder of my android device??
As every time I set any picture that is not a default picture of my set I've to crop it. I'm using 2 different android devices, one of them is Samsung galaxy star pro, this one is rooted. I've been searching the net for this issue and found that it's packed with the launcher.apk, if it is true then is there any way by which I can set my images without cropping and without using any apps(like image2wallpaper and all)????
I've also tried different kinds of apps, but the results are not satisfactory, in many cases the images is zoomed or some other problem.
So it would be much easier if I can simply put my photos directly into the default WP folder, then I wont have to use any app.

As far as i know size must be horizontal x 2 + vertical x1
Like if you have 720*1280 screen, wallpaper must be 1440*1280
İ am not so sure tho.
I've noticed this too. Part of the cropping 'problem' is due to they way Android is made. As Android is used on both devices that work in portrait (like phones) and landscape (most larger tablets), the OS is made to encompass both. Your default launcher on the other hand may restrict your orientation but the Android OS still has to take in account for the other orientation. This can make finding a wallpaper that works well difficult. The general rule is to find a square image that matches your screens height. This will result in the best, centered, crop.
As for where the default wallpapers are stored, I don't know. I poked around my device for a bit and didn't find any of them. My assumption is they are stored in a system app or archive.

even if I maintain the aspect ratio the scrolling won't work with any images except the default ones. Do you have any suggestions for that ?

That is most likely a restriction of your devices' launcher. An aftermarket launcher like Nova will give you that scrolling effect no problem.
