try to change number of rows and columns in adw setings,and by long pressing on screen you get option to edit..then edit

That doesn't Work, changing number of rows nd colums makes the Widgets worst!
I am using launcher pro, I have used adw but I can't solve the problem in both of them, I also tried auto arrange to grid option, but the Icons touch the dock so it looks like crap.... I really enjoyed sense, but cm7 is awesome with 1 bug which is bugging me a lot
PLS sum1 help me to solve the prob... tmrw I will describe the prob using screenshots.....

I have the same exact problem, just flashed the rom today on my Wildfire and so far I love it, but widgets really look horrible... the auto stretch option doesn't help much. I've also tried Pure Messenger, which is supposed to have a similar functionality for its own widget, and nothing changed.
I'm using ADW Launcher, the one that came with CM7.1: is it a problem with themes or something else? Doesn't anyone else really experience this issue?

Goto Adw settings, ui settings, icons, use new icons, then set the main icon sizes to x. X=desired settings. I use 90. I got adw ex so not sure if these settings are available in adw free. Hope this helps.

try using launcher pro plus (google)... it lets you resize widgets, add a widget then just tap it and hold for a sec, then release... now you can resize... hope i helped

Doesn't seem to be available in my settings...

I've read a lot of people suggesting launcher pro over adw launcher and relatives: I've just installed the Cyanogen for the first time, though, and this is also my first time with a custom launcher (I've always been using HTC Sense so far) so I'd rather accustom myself to what's already there before messing up with this. But thanks for the suggestion!

List Widgets

I want to know if anyone knows how to group same Widgets together. If you don't know what I mean I will explain. In CM7 once the widget selection box popped up it would list the app and under the number of Widgets that that app has. Which gives you a cleaner look. But I'm using TW and we know the widget selection system is different and seeing all the Widgets all slammed together is bugging the hell out of me.

[Q] Strongsteve odex blue with tw launcher

I love this Strongsteve odex blue ROM and have been tweaking it for a couple of weeks.
Is it possible to keep the 5 icon dock but switch the app drawer to 4X4? The app drawer just looks a little too busy to me with a 5X5 setup.
Thank in advance to anyone who might know how to do this.

Not that I have seen. Its one or the other. Sorry.!

The workaround I found was to use launcher pro (This preserves all of the blue icons in Strongsteves ROM) and the only difference is the app drawer scrolls vertically. But I keep the 5 icon dock and get a 4X4 app drawer.
I am happy with this workarpound. Life is good

I use launcher pro and my drawer scrolls horizontally. check your setting, i dont prefer vertical anymore lol

There is a zip linked in the original post on the ROM thread that will switch the TW back to the regular method.
That should do exactly what you need!

[MOD][HOWTO] TweakWiz! - A "Tweaked" TouchWiz Launcher [UPDATED 8/30/12]

TweakWiz!
A "Tweaked" TouchWiz Launcher​
What is it?
TweakWiz is my attempt at bringing some of custom launcher aesthetics to the default TouchWiz launcher. Sure, I could use a custom launcher -- and I have. I've tried dozens, but none of them can offer the same fluidity and speed that TouchWiz does. As I dig deeper within the TouchWiz code, more features will be added/unlocked!
Features
(NEW) Rotation support! (Adheres to system rotation setting)
(NEW) App drawer icon centered!
Labels removed from docked icons.
Drop shadow removed from dock icons.
Margins optimized to maximize space (where possible)
4x5 homescreen layout
Page indicators removed, space reclaimed.
Scrolling wallpapers.
Page looping disabled (scrolling wallpapers looked like crap with this enabled).
Installation
Download/copy appropriate version to internal storage.
Boot into recovery.
Make a backup!
Flash/Reboot
ROM Developers/Cooks
I have no problem if you wish to include this in your custom ROMs, I only ask that you provide a link back to this thread so users can keep up on any updates. For those looking to perform manual edits, see here.
Changelog
1.0
Initial release
1.1
Reduced app drawer margin slightly due to text cropping.
Added 5th row to home.
1.2
Adjusted launcher to eliminate overlapping of launcher icon "hot areas" and 5th row widgets. [sinichi21]
Adjusted launcher width to reduce "squished" appearance [eortizr]
Minimally Increased bottom padding on launcher to match positioning of icons (if any) on lockscreen
1.3
"Fixed" docked Messaging icon text re-appearing after a notification in portrait mode (still exists in Landscape)
Rotation support, and it respects your global rotation setting.
App drawer centered!
Re-adjusted margins a bit.
4x6 App Drawer in portrait and 7x3 in landscape.
80% app drawer translucency removed. (I'm not happy with how it appears on the screen, I'm working out a better method).
1.3.1
Fixed initial center app icon bug where app icon could sometimes be covered by another app icon when running TweakWiz for the first time.
Added optional NO_LANDSCAPE version (no rotation)
Added option NO_SCROLL version (no scrolling wallpaper, re-enabled page looping)
Known Bugs
Icon text re-appears below docked "Messaging" app after receiving notification in landscape only!
Custom
Like AOSP/ICS? Check out mrvirginia's custom version of TweakWiz! [link]
Thank you! A moment of your time, please..
As with all of my contributions (here and elsewhere), I do this for fun and expect nothing in return. However, I have received a couple donations in support of my work recently, and while much appreciated, they are unnecessary. In lieu of donations to myself, should you feel inclined, I would much prefer any monies be donated to the CNCF Hope (The Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation) instead. This is a cause very close to my heart and this organization would benefit much more from your donation than I ever would.
Again, no obligation or expectations -- a simple "Thanks!" would more than suffice.
Legend
NO_LANDSCAPE: Launcher rotation disabled, portrait only.
NO_SCROLL: No scolling wallpaper, page looping/infinite scroll is enabled.

Nice! Trying this now! Can it be themed?

Anything you can do with stock TouchWiz, you can do with this. So, to answer your question, yes.

Very nice!
Thanks for this.

This is great!!!! Will try it tonight!!! Would love to see more touchWiz mod as I cannot give up great camera app and those motion control comes with it....
I am wondering if OP can include some thumbnails and it's possible to theme it like stock JB launcher?? Like having the dock divider bar in place??

Very nice mod! I have one suggestion; with the page indicators removed it has stretched some widgets and my 4x2 clock widgets are now elongated. I would recommend adding a 5 row version to use some of the reclaimed space. Good work with this so far.

I agree, a 5 for version would be great. The extra space is nice, but now there's just acres of space between icons I can't use. Want to pack that baby full. Wouldn't break my heart ot have 6x5.
But it is an excellend start. Always hated the text there telling me what I already knew...

Had to agree with it but there is one mod here on the apps that support that i have tried and i think by doing that mod made some widgets shrunk in sized too for example is the google music was supposed to be 4x1 it became 3x1 and it looks ugly you cant resized it at all back to 4x1. I would suggest maybe just return the page indicator if no solution can be done.

This one is 4x5_4x6 which doesn't stretch the widgets

Updated!
1.1
Reduced app drawer margin slightly to text cropping.
Added 5th row to home.

Since this is just a launcher, can it run on an AOSP ROM like CMX or AOKP?
I would normally just make a backup and try myself but I'm at work right now and wouldn't be able to try until tonight.

This isn't "just a launcher". Its TouchWiz, and still requires TouchWiz framework. So it will not work on AOSP, AOKP, or CM.

Nothing special there if you saw the small refresh button below the right side of the s suggest widget when you try to hit that the app drawer get hit most of the time it takes multiple time and precise tap to hit the refresh button. Maybe because the screen indicator is remove so there is no boundary on the dock and desktop screen

Default Weather Widget - Shortcut Change?

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the shortcut for the default S3 weather widget? Instead of it directing you to Accuweather, I would prefer that it opens up Weatherbug.

Why don't you just place the weather bug widget on your screen instead of the stock one?

Thanks ... I would use the weather bug widget, but it doesn't have the clock built in. I also considered using Fancy Widgets which is similar to the HTC interface ... I just liked the way the stock one looked and was hoping there was a way.

Yeah would be nice also if you touched the clock it would take you to your alarm or other alarm app and when you touch the weather it would open whatever weather app you wanted. One thing i miss about HTC is there widgets nothing else compared IMO

Hd Widgets isn't like the stock clock widget but it's highly customizable and 2 set ups look like the sense clocks. From the original evo is one and the other is from the new Evo 4G lte
Also weather services include accuweather, weather bug, and weather underground. I've made posts about changing the provider on the stock clocks and usually don't get a reply saying someone knows how so I just use a 3rd party one

thanks look good keep up great work

Thanks for the follow up ... I am going to check out HD Widgets ... it looks similar to the version included on the EVO

I use it and love it. You will not be disappointed.

I am using it now and agree ... very very cool!!
