Sorry for rubbish thread but I downloaded an app some time ago that enabled me to launch apps, widgets, anything and use whatever icon I wanted. What is the name of this app its driving me mad?!
Want it to change the icons in dock on touchwiz (which I think is pretty good).
almost sure your thinking of Desktop Visualizer
YESSSS! That's it, god it was doing my head in I knew it was an obvious one, cheers!
Np and your welcome m8 Quite and easy one

It just came to me, the thought of having the rosie utility appear and disappear on command. Sometimes I like to set my Evo on its' kick stand, set it next to my computer AND set it on AniPet Aquarium but its a bummer that the damn rosie is taking up space. Its also nice connecting it to my TV and setting it on a wallpaper but the damn rosie. Not sure if this already done on home replacements, but i don't like them. Just wondering if it is possible as to make it like a removable widget, THAT'D BE AWESOME!. Right now I am rooted with Myn's WarmZ rom. Please only serious answers, I don't mean to sound dumb if this is not possible. Any advise would be great.
I've seen an app that allows you to just see your wallpaper, but I don't remember the name. You launch the app & the entire screen is just the wallpaper, nothing else. If the only time you use landscape is when it's on the kickstand, you could use Tasker or a similar app to automatically launch the app when you go into landscape mode. I'm sure it's also possible to set it to only open when you're on your homescreen & in landscape. Or you could just put a shortcut to it on your homescreen if you don't want to deal with automating it.
I'll do a search & see if I can find the app. I know it's not exactly what you're asking for, but it kind of solves the problem.
EDIT: I think I found it. It's called "Cleaner (Show Wallpaper)", and it's a widget. It seems to hide everything, dock/Rosie included.

THANKS. Ill try it out. Ill come back with an update.
I just got ADW launcher and I need a calendar widget to replace the stock one.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
I'd like one similar to the stock month calendar widget. One that shows the whole month, some kind of bullet or marker on days that have an event, and some kind of text box showing the event for the day you touch.
Thanks.

I second that question/request. I wonder if theres a way to use the stock one with other launchers, it seems to be the only stock widget thats missing if i remember correctly.

Actually there's a couple more I need to find replacements for too.
The task manager widget that displays the number of active apps and takes you to the task manager if pressed.
And the double clock widget that will let you display two different clocks, with time zone and location of your choosing displayed.
Try jorte on the market? I love it!!

Thanks! I'm trying it out right now. There's still a few things from the stock one I miss though. It doesn't have a widget with a text box on the bottom that can show the whole event. Instead it shows small text in the day box that gets cut off, and you have to click on that day to see the whole event title. The tasks seem to be a little limited too. Like you can't add a location that you can navigate to later. I'm gonna keep playing with it though. Thanks.
i use the Go Launcher EX Calendar widget, it's simply the best available out there

yeah I saw Go launcher yesterday during my search and told myself I gotta try that one. Looks like a lot of good stuff on that one. I especially like that task manager widget that they have.
Thanks for the recommendation AllGamer! I'm using Go Launcher now and loving it.
lilant510, if you're still missing stuff from the stock, I suggest you try that one. Has everything I was missing from stock and more. Better than ADW IMO.
AllGamer,
Do you use the Go launcher toggle widget? Does it work ok for you?
When I press the GPS toggle, it goes to the GPS settings menu, instead of just automatically toggling it off/on.
The 4g toggle sometimes does and sometimes doesn't work also. Seems to depend on if the wifi is toggled on with it or not.
Wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.
i do not use the Go Toggle
because the ROM already has all the on/off switches i need build in

they also have a Transparent skin for the Go Calendar Widget, it makes it really elegant
I've used literally ever launcher available to date and imho Go launcher is the absolute best! And all the Widgets that come along with it put it over the top. There are so many skins fir the Widgets and I use the calander widget which is my favorite.

Yup. Exactly the one I'm using.
This is probably going to be a really obvious question that is right in front of my face, but I just don't see it!
I have a Galaxy Nexus (CDMA), running LiquidSmooth, and yesterday I realized that the bottom row of my home screens (above the row of icons that has a name that is escaping me) is gone. Widgets that used to have something under them now stretch to the bottom. For example, on one homescreen I had the Audio Manager widget on top, then the Friendcaster widget, then some system icons (Settings, Astro, Rom Toolbox, etc.) under that. Now the two widgets are the only things on the screen, with no extra space for icons under them.
It's like I managed to resize the resolution or something. I don't know when it started, or what I might have done prior to it. I thought I was going crazy when I first noticed it, because it isn't a problem I've ever had before. I'm probably going to flash a new rom tonight, and see if that solves it, but does anyone have a clue what might have happened?
Thanks in advance!
screenshots please.
In your launcher what is your grid size?
I'm sure it is possible to change the grid size in Apex Launcher, but I'm not having any luck finding it. Might be paid version only, but I'm still looking.
Argh, can't post the screenshots until I have more posts. The annoyance of being a lurker sometimes. :/

I did google a little bit but most things are about calendar notifications, I'm lookin more for an actual calendar I can put in my notifications bar.
I just switched from iPhone so I'm actually lookin for something like this. modmyi.com/images/joshua/calendarfornc.jpg
I think you'd be better off finding a calendar widget to your liking. I'm not aware of any notification panels that have widgets embedded in them.

I agree with Spycedtx. Use a widget instead. If you want to reach the calendar widget from any screen you could add it to a SwipePad panel that has a widget launcher. It works very well for me with a quick settings widget and a note widget.
Thanks guys
Cool the swipe pad will work and has more uses too. Maybe it's cause I was an iphone guy but I'm not a fan of widgets yet. Maybe in time

The I phone has you stuck in the past with old out dated features lol, your not used to making things easy and the way you want like an android.
I just don't like a lot of garbage on my home screen, looks too cluttered... but as I said maybe in time. Any how noob question, how do I mark my post solved?

I also like empty screens. But the bonus is you have several. My main has an analog clock just to look pretty. One page over I have a calendar widget. Quick swipe and back if I need to see it.

There's a few apps that do this, one is "date in tray pro" that I use.

Hey everyone, I have been here a while but I dont have my ten posts to post in the dev section :/ so I am posting my question here! I am on the Toro+ Gnex running Atom 422 I believe, but my question isnt specific to that ROM. In many ROMs my lock screen music widget would freeze up and stop playing and when I turned the phone on it looked like the music widget was overlaping the camera widget ( lockscreen widgets) and then disapear. I have tried using Apollo, Zplayer, and Play Music. I uninstalled all but one to test individually and I got the same results. I don't have this issue with ROMs that have the option to disable the camera lockscreen widget and I was wondering if this is a known problem with the camera or what. I am using a custom lockscreen shortcut for the camera right now so it is not a big deal I was just curious If anyone else has had this problem. This persists through dirty, clean flashes of new ROMs and kernels except for ROMs that can disable the camera lockscreen widget. thanks for the feedback!
First and foremost the Dev section is reserved for developers who wish to introduce their ROMS and kernels, not for questions such as this. So in a way, thank you for not posting here even though it was your intention to do so
As far as the lock screen...are you using stock launcher or a third party launcher such as apex or nova? Lock screen apps are just that, app that overlay the original lock screen. What I mean is that the culprit is probably your launcher. I use PA 3.94 and have no issues. Admittedly though, my lock screen security is disabled so I can use Locket. Locket has no widgets so that may be a option for you. I do kiss the music widget however, but I just unlock the screen to access the controls and in doing so I get paid for doing so.

Hmm, interesting I didnt think to change the launcher I was on Atom launcher at the time and now I am just using the launcher included in the Atom-422 Rom. After work I will re-install Atom launcher and see if I can replicate the issue. So, the lockscreen widgets are extensions of the launcher? I guess I don't understand how the launcher would cause that issue, something I am going to have to look up I guess ha Yeah I thought about removing the lockscreen but the shortcuts are just too convinient and Dash clock is awesome too. How is Locket working for you? I havent tried it but I imagined it to be laggy just because I associate Ads with lag.
P.S. I wasn't going to start a tread in the dev section, I was just going to post in the ROM thread asking if anyone else had the same issue ;]

I haven't used Atom launcher so I can't say for sure. Since you've used stock and the Atom launcher I guess you can try a third party one such as Apex or Nova and see if the issue persists. Its weird how its happening to you though, I've never heard of such bug. To my understanding, lockscreen and the associated widgets are part of the launcher, hence the reason why not all launchers support widgets. I understand your desire to keep your widgets, they do come in handy but personally I usually don't find myself wishing I had more than the standard clock since I instinctively unlock my phone anyways.
I thought the same as you with regards to Locket, but I must admit that the ads are incredibly lightweight and well designed. Most of the time I don't see them as ads but a dynamic wallpaper add-on since the ads cycle every time you turn on your display. Give it a shot, you can access the notification bar even with Locket installed, which houses playback controls as well. Link is in my siggy
