Is there an app that just makes a scrollable area on a home screen, like if I had a facebook widget and a twitter widget on the same page then i could use my finger to scroll down to an empty area and add more widgets?
none I know of. You could add more screens, or use something like LauncherPro or ADW to make the widgets themselves scrollable. Smaller scrollable widgets will free up more space. Really, though, why not just add another screen? scrolling left and right is almost the same as scrolling up and down.

Does anyone know if there are 3x1 or 2x1 sized Google search bar widget?
Thanks.
Not sure, but with ADW.launcher it is possible to resize widgets.
Just enable greater than 4x4 grid on the homescreen and when adding a widget you will have an option to set the size manualy.
It may be a different option in ADW settings, I use LauncherPro personaly.
Yes ADW launcher does it, tested right now.
maybe not what your looking for but if you longpress the menubutton you get the search-inteface directly
I realize that with the latest Launcherpro, we can now resize widgets including this Google search bar.
Why do you need a google search widget?
Just hold downt the left touch key to bring up google search. its excatcly the same as pressing the google widget..
has anyone looked into this? why does android only allow icons to be placed in grids? why not allow free positioning?
burp......
Does it really matter honestly?

you can get adw launcher, and change the settings so each screen is 8x8 instead of 4x4.
But 4x4 or 5x5 is about optimal, because the icons are a standard size any more than this and icons will begin to overlap and it is difficult to touch a specific icon and not accidentally click the wrong one (which is why I think they made it 4x4, to avoid clutter, easier to keep track of coordinates, etc)
Is there a widget or app that will switch the home screens? I'm wanting to make a layout that has each page as a different theme/category. Where I can click on large text icons and itll take me to that page instead of scrolling.
I like UCCW but i cant select an action to change to different screens.

I have stupid question. Does anyone know if there is a way that I could hide the dock on just one page of a launcher, be it stock or Nova? I was trying to create a full screen RSS widget, something similar to Blinkfeed or something on my first page but it would look so much nicer if I could hide the dock on that one page or even have the widget run through the dock, again like blinkfeed.
On Nova, just remove the dock entirely and add an extra row of icons to compensate then put your "dock" items on the bottom row of your other pages.

Is there a way to resize a widget on the home screen. I noticed that the widgets use 1x1 in my Zforce, but on the Z2force, it uses 2x2. How do I get it to 1x1?. Thanks
