Home++ Screenshot Workaround

Looks like Home++ will take good screenshots. Notification bar is missing but other than that seems good for the time being.

Home++ is a replacement Lancher.apk.
I believe the message here is that if you have Home++, then screenshots come out clear on the n1; as opposed to the garble we are all seeing.

Assume you're using Pure Calendar Widget for the calendar ? What theme are you using and how do you get the dates with the colour bar ? Thanks.

Oh dude! Where did you find the HTC flip clock?

Flip clock is an app on the market called "weather widgets paid". Pretty cool cause it has custom themes too.

I dont think you can have home ++ as the only theme. It runs on top of your default theme. If I was you I would root your phone and edit the default theme so you dont slow down your phone with a addon like home++, ahome and open home.

Actually home++ makes my nexus a lot snappier.. and the scrolling is a lot more smooth. I'm just worried that having one theme on top of the default theme will drain battery faster.

my screens
Started out with all 7 screens, now down to 3.
Organized the screens as: 1) web/games/media, 2) main/phone/camera/frequent apps, 3) system/control
The Big icons with the glass borders are "launcher dock" widgets, each holds 8 shortcuts. The battery widget is "vizBattery". The volume control widget is "Audio Manager"
I know the the weather widgets look ugly and I the launcher dock icons are too large. (need to try another icon pack)

You can add the notification bar back if you want, just long press on the "!" icon (it toggles it on/off)

take an icon from your app drawer, drag it to the main body of your background, then drag the icon to the launcher and drop.

What widgets are those btw? Beautiful or some others? Forgive my ignorance, my EVO arrives tomorrow and it'll be my first Android device, just trying to compile a list of all the stuff I wanna try and I certainly like the overall look you've put together w/ADW and that stuff. Love the wallpaper too btw, I've got the very same one in rotation w/others on my desktop, heh.

beautiful widgets for the time/weather & the vibrate widget.
es task manager is the task killer icon on the right of the battery widget.
battery widget is "batterylife" by curvefish in the app market.

Thanks for the quick reply!

unfortunately not.
smooth calendar, or android agenda widget is a good replacement for the htc agenda with some more customizable options.
beautiful widgets is another good replacement for the htc clock. with many types of skins.
the bookmarks im not to sure. never use them personally. if i did i would just use the android bookmark "shortcuts"

does this use less battery life and/or memory than say stock sense?

one thing that i noticed is when you turn on your screen and then drag down to unlock, the wallpaper will shift downward as well. is there a fix to this?
i am going to have to dump adw if there isn't a fix for this.. it drives me up the wall.

If you have the device held horizontally its going to do that. If that is what you are talking about. Not a glitch.

I like the RAB and LAB buttons. Very useful.
I have the LAB as Phone (to make calls) and RAB as a folder.
The problem is I cannot add/remove apps from the folder.
I initially created the folder on the desktop, added about 10 apps to it then dragged it to the RAB. Excellent. I have access to those 10 apps almost 90% of the time.
Problem is I cannot add a new app shortcut to that folder.
Is there a way to undock/shift the folder from RAB back to desktop to add app shortcuts then back to RAB?
Because I tried adding an app shortcut to the folder by dragging it from desktop to RAB but that app got registered as the bew RAB and I lost the folder. Had to redo it all over.
otherwise its great.
thanks

this any different from ADW.Launcher in market?

Favorite clock/weather widget?

So one of the only things I find myself salivating at on my wife's HTC Incredible 2 is the Sense weather/clock widget. Thing looks badass. I've found some of the ripoffs on the appstore, and have installed Beautiful Widgets, which has some pretty cool clocks, but a lot of them look like janky crap.

Do you guys have a favorite or has anyone found one that gives the sense widget a run for its money?

Fancy Widget Pro is great. I prefer it over Beautiful Widgets and Weather Toggle & Widgets.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidgets
I guess the new version is called just Fancy Widgets

Weather and Toggle Widgets. I use the Digital Clock skin:

Thanks for the suggestions The couple of clocks I've downloaded for Fancy Widgets(I only had free before, but just bought full version) are already way better quality than the ones on Beautiful Widgets. Will try to post a screen shortly

Beautiful Widgets is my favorite. Lots of options and skins

Second to that, plus they had it as an Amazon Free App of the day once. Woohoo!

Beautiful Widgets all the way. I've been using the destroy skin with a transparent background. Around 50% that way I can see my screen background.

DroidX Eye Clock widget
At some point in the last nine months I had a DroidX Clock widget on my OG Droid. I really was just a clock widget that used the DroidX Eye as a background, and offered a choice for the eye color (red, blue, green, yellowish). It was lost at some point in one of the many times I flashed different roms to that phone. I have looked a few times in the last couple of months, but have been unable to find it.
If anybody has seen that widget, or has it, I'd love to get it installed on my Droid Charge.
(BTW: Verizon tunred on 4G in my area today, and it is crazy fast... loving it).

Actually. Use go launcher and then get.goweather. your wife will be salivating looking at your phone. They.have an htc style clock that is better than htcs. And the coolness.of go launcher is a "see it to appreciate it" thing. Set your app drawer to have the blind effect. Its awesome lol.

Alternative
Advanced clock pro is an alterative if you like a modern look. I also use aix weather.

Check out GS Flip Clock wallpaper. I'm running version 4.3 on my Samsung Tab and it's fantastic. It is as close as you can get to the HTC version. It had some growing pains initially, but as of version 4.3 everything seems to be working great.
I didn't pay for it, so I must have found the apk via Google. I remember searching for quite a while because HTC had been putting the smack down on any developers who used the flip clock style.
Currently it is on the market (website only, it didn't show up when I searched using the market app on my Charge) for $2.00. Since I'm a "noob" I can't post the direct link. Search for GSFlipClockWallpaper by Sergey Golovanov

[Q] stretching a widget

Is there a way to stretch the news @ weather widget so it completely fills out the screen horizontally? Here's a screenshot taken on my n4: http://imgur.com/7GzoAO2
I want the widget to be one cell wider, but it's not resizable. Any possibility?

I think you would have to use a different launcher.

Is there no other way? I actually want to keep the Google Now launcher.

Google launcher doesn't allow widget resizing. What is it about GEL you want to keep? Maybe you can reproduce it.

I'm just not into all that customizing and so on, i just want stock Android. This is the only widget i can't resize.

Maybe if you go for something like Nova, you can have it look exactly the same as GEL. the only difference would be that instead of swiping right to get to google now, you'd have to add it to a swipe up gesture or something.
Mine just looks like this

Yes it does, as long as the widget in question supports it, and the News & Weather widget does support resizing.
Long press it, release and you'll see the edges are now highlighted; drag the dots to resize.

I just downloaded the Nova launcher and there are a LOT of options. Is there a guide on how to make it look and behave exactly like the stock Google Now launcher (or as close to that as possible)?

I tried making it look like stock Google Now launcher but i don't think it's possible. Don't like how it looks.

The app symbols look way too small and it overall looks weird and doesn't really fit anymore. Is there no launcher like Google Now launcher, but that allows you to resize every widget?

Links aren't working for me so not sure what you mean. You can set icon size to whatever you want. Just go through all the menus one by one.

You need the paid version to resize the icons.
Long-press the app drawer icon to change it to the flat white version.
Also, the Search Bar can be set to the same size if you play around with the number of rows.

Don't have time for it. Is there no guide to explain every option you need to change ti make it look like the Google Now launcher? If not, i'll just get rid of the news widget.

Sent from my SM-N920T using XDA Free mobile app

For some reason I remember it appeared in the widgets on the Note 4 even with Nova. But, you can't on the Note 5. However, you can use a 3rd party widget application (like Zooper) and install an S6 Weather widget (which is pretty much the same as the stock Note 5 weather widget). Or you could use UCCW or Zooper and create your own. I was going to do that, but I got lazy and bought one from the play store for $0.99 that works with Zooper Pro.

It you're looking for something similar and clean looking like the stock widget you could run a Brightweather and Timely Combination. Have App Overlay turned on and place Brightweather at the top and then Timely below it and stretch Brightweather over Timely to give make it look as if it's one widget and while keeping it clean.
This is how I had it set up for example. I hope this is a good alternative for you!

Xwidget is also a good alternative, although, I have never been able to get the stock weather app to work with Nova.

chronus widget added one that looks similar. need to download the Chronus GS6 weather icon pack too.

There is a way to do it. Technically, won't be the widget but it will be a zooper that looks just like it. You'll also have to add some transparent icons to open the app whenever you tap the widget. I'll find to how to and post it here
Here you go the zoomed widget that looks like the Samsung weather widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.designedly.zwskin.s6widgets
And this is what the widget looks like.

Do you mean on the Lock screen or the home screen?
you can get the weather widget on the lock screen when Nova is your default launcher. -
All you have to do is setup weather in your touchwiz launcher - once you have a location assigned in the stock home screen weather widget in Touchwiz launcher - the weather will be added to the lock screen regardless of whether you use Touchwiz or Nova - but you have to turn it on in Touchwiz to get it to work on the lock screen after Nova is set as your default launcher.
I also just tried to add "weather widget" on my Nova Home Screen and it works too - I dont know if adding it in Nova will automatically inlcude it on the lock screen or not - but I know if you follow the instructions above, it does work.
Hope that helps.
