hi boys,i looking for a photo widget like this photo(with the same size): http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ-uPhKyBR7pMoupsbmEat9oE8yMbwYoYSLIwmt-X8tD4o1Smx1
(in the photo there some people on the beach....)
i search on the market but all the widget i see didn't have the same size
thx
I use Desktop Visualizer to make photo widgets. One opens the gallery and one calls my fiance. They are slightly smaller than that photo though.

Does a "blank canvas" widget exist? I really like the contacts widget I currently have but would like to drop them into a widget to scroll through them instead of placing them directly on the screen. Hope that makes sense. I know there are contact widgets on the market that do that, but the style and look of Animated Widget Contact looks really clean to me. Thanks for the help!
Hi,
Anyone know how far we can customize the 5 icons at the bottom of the home launcher?
I saw in one video that we can replace the apps there.
But, is it possible to only change the icon?
With current LauncherPro, I changed all those 5 icons into "text only", which is nice
So, wondering if we can do the same with the stock ICS launcher!
Ummm... The phone is not our yet.

no, there is no plain text option.
you can replace the 4 apps, but not the middle settings button. you can put folders (groups of apps) in the 4 spots as well. and re-arange the order in the folders. the 1st program in the folder has the top icon displayed first.
Well, I did not mean "plain text", but changing the icon of the apps in that bottom bar.
Only the icon ...
If this is not possible, is there any way to achieve this?
Like, creating an app with custom icon to launch other app

There is an app on the market to change an applications icon but I don't know how well it works or how it would work with the nexus.
Stock Android Launchers do not have the facility to do what you are asking.
Mark.
Use desktop visualizer from the market

i dare say that once the source is released someone will customise the ICS launcher like GO, LPP, ADW etc have done with current stock android launcher (I hope)
Unless the launcher dock allows widgets on it which I doubt many if these apps that you can change icons with won't work. They create a widget on your homescreen that is a shortcut to that app. this is why you find these apps in the widget section when adding them to your homescreen

I was wondering this too.. it seems like something along the lines of Better Cut would work. It makes a shortcut on your desktop to the app using a custom icon... I would think you could then drag that onto the quick launch bar.
Yupe, I really really hope so this will work.
I don't like to have multi colored icons down there!

I can confirm that Desktop Visualizer works with the GN launcher. For the 1x1 icons you can even drag them on top of each other to make folders just like you can normally on ICS. You can also drag them onto the bottom launch bar.
EDIT: Testing it further, it seems that ANY 1x1 widget acts like an icon. You can put them in folders or put them in the dock bar. Sweet!
EDIT again: Agh. My bad. Looks like only some 1x1 widgets can do that. Others can't. Still not sure how it's determined which ones can and which ones can't.
Nice!
What do you mean with "cant" for some of the 1x1 icon?
How do you describe that "cant"? Simply cannot be dragged?
Please if you can give us some examples which dont work.
Thanks

Basically there seem to be two types of 1x1 widgets. One of them is "icon-sized", such as the native bookmark and direct-dial widgets and also the 1x1 icon that Desktop Visualizer makes. These can be stacked into folders just like you can with a regular icon.
The second type seems to be a 1x1 widget that takes up the whole tile space. (An icon takes only a part of the tile space and these rest of the space is used for the label.) These include things such as 1x1 clock widgets or another type of 1x1 widget that Desktop Visualizer also makes. You can drag them around the homescreen space like you can with any widget, but you can't stack them into folders or put them in the dock bar.
Hope that clarifies it.
Anyway I attached a screenshot of examples. The widgets are the left side are stackable/dockable and the ones on the right side aren't.
Thanks, that is ver clear.
And I saw in your screenshot that you have changed the docked apps to use text icons, nice ... Very nice.
Given the new high resolution screen, what is the resolution of those icons?
How did you make one?
If you are using Photoshop, please if you can share the PSD files
Thanks

I actually made the icons with an app called "Simple Text - Text icon creator" which you can find on the market. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to share the style but it's pretty easy to figure out (or you can make something even better ).

Thanks,
I did not know this app. Previously, I made myself using PhotoShop (got the PSD somewhere from Nexus S Themes Apps forum).

Man... thanks for the info... Just installed it.
Any scrolling wallpaper app with slideshow feature?
So it could display highest quality scrolling wallpapers without reducing, or cropping, but also could auto change the wallpapers every X minutes or hours?
Are you talking about something like the HOX? When you change from a main screen to another the wallpaper scroll a bit, is that what you're talking about?
I do not own HOX, but scrolling wallpaper - we already have that on SGS3, just we set 1 photo for it to show.
What i want is to auto change the wallpapers, so I select a folder with wallpapers and it does the job
wallpaper changer on playstore do the job

Hi thanks so much for the app, I love this wallpaper changer!
There is a Thanks button for that
Multipicture live wallpaper is the best I have seen, you can set it so a different wallpaper comes up on every home screen, and you can chose set pictures for 1 home screen and cycle through a folder for the others! They cross fade into each other which looks great as well

Scrolling wallpaper feature is useless if you want to have different wallpaper on each screen
I was hoping someone could help me sizing widgets for the nexus screen.
I wanted to make a grid that fit together with no spaces in between like on that market screenshot for the app.
My plan uses 4x1 and 2x1 widgets so I wont need the other sizes.
I had it set up pretty good on my lg but with the different screen sizes it doesnt match on the nexus.
I have my screen set to 5 rows and 4 columns so I was looking to do a 4x1 at the top then 6 2x1s and then a 4x1 at the bottom.
Any help would be much appreciated.

are those tiles or just hotspots? if the lines aren't visible you can just set it as your wallpaper and use DVR to create invisible icons using a "blank picture".
if not, find out what your phone resolution is and your gonna have to edit the picture to find the proper alignment to match the widget sizes...i have made a bunch of custom homescreens (its a pain to get the alignment right sometimes)..but if it looks good in the end, its worth it
it shouldnt be too difficult though, that set up isn't complicated

Thats a good idea, so your saying create it all as one picture and then set it to wallpaper then use invisible icons for widgets right?
The only problem I can see for that is what about the wallpaper for the rest of my screens?

1. yes
2. are you using scrolling wallpaper or is it static?
either way the concept will still work...just that scrolling wallpaper may take you longer to figure out the alignment
if you can post the picture you are going to use and an idea of what you want i can help you with more specific questions

I did something like that when I was using multiple wallpaper but I much prefer the scrolling wallpaper so I stopped using it.
How would this work with a scrollable wallpaper when you see the same part of the wallpaper on 2 separate screens?
This was the screen I had with multiple wallpaper.
The thats the wallpaper Im currently using.

ive actually never seen someone use a "tile" setup with scrolling wallpaper...it can be done but obviously there will be overlapping points..the icons would be on separate screens and with blank images so it would just be the wallpaper shifting not the icons (since they arent visible)
in my opinion, if you are going to use a tile set up it would be best to use static wallpaper...i know you posted a picture of the wallpaper but it doesnt really give me a clear idea as to what you are doing

What Im doing or trying to do is just what that screen shot is. Have a check list type screen to launch apps from.
I found a desktop visualizer addon called dvrimageslicer that I thought was the answer I was looking for but for some reason it only crops images with no gaps on the top and bottom. So it looks exactly how I want it to when I only use 4x1 widgets but when I use more than one widget on the same row it leaves a gap on the left and right sides of each widget.

sorry for the late response...by gap do you mean visual gap or space that you cant click? (like a blank unused icon space)
that setup is very simple
use an app like photoshop to design the layout as a background...then use blank icons as mentioned previously
the most difficult part of the entire thing is going to be getting the spacing right...but that you can done in a matter of minutes
I can put in the center of my screen and with a flick or swipe have it rotate to the next picture. preferably like a cube, much the same way that Nova and Apex launchers can change home screen pages, but just for the photo widget?
CM10 offers this photo widget. Otherwise, buy a Sony phone
