I just installed MIUI 108190 installed from miui.us, the only problem I have is when I add a contact shortcut in a 3rd party launcher (Go Launcher, Launcher Pro) it doesn't use the contact picture as the icon, it shows the generic android icon.
is there a work around? can someone else confirm that they see the same behavior?
Thank you,
Same thing happens with MIUI and widgetlocker. Haven't found a work around for it

Can anyone tell me how to get Minipaper working. I am running adw launcher and the widget runs fine until I tap the corner to add another note when it jumps back to touch wizz. Other than this its great. Would love to see it working properly on adw. Any ideas? Tia

Hey guys, running stock ICS 4.0.2 on Vz Nexus. I'm using ADWLauncher EX but I prefer the stock ICS app drawer. Can anyone tell me how I can create a custom shortcut in ADW to launch the stock app drawer?
I tried Custom shortcut, Pick Your Activity, Activities, but from there I can't find the ICS app drawer.
Thanks!
I would like this feature too but suspect it is down to the developer of the launcher to add it to the options of app drawer preferences.
That would b good

Bump...still looking for an answer to this if anyone can shed some light. Thanks!
not possible. the stock app drawer is built into the app and theres no way to access it outside of the app.
additionally, as found by the developer of the Nova Launcher, unless the home app is a system app the widget menu won't work.
basically your just going to have to wait until Ander adds it into ADW or someone makes a new launcher from scratch based on the new launcher.
I've recently switched to CM9 ICS, and I can't find a way to show how many unread texts I have on the dock messaging app icon.
I've tried using the stock CM9 ICS Trebuchet launcher and ADW Launcher (normal and EX), enabling notifications on the latter. I've also tried the stock messaging app, Handcent, and GO SMS. I turned on "Show unread count" where applicable.
However I still can't get the number to display on the dock icon. If I create a widget for GO SMS and place it on a homescreen, then it will display the number, but I can't place said widget on the dock.
What am I doing wrong?
Nothing. That is a Touchwiz feature. CM9 is non-touchwiz.

Woah, Samsung actually got something right? :O
Are there any other ways of accomplishing this?
Also, I can't believe I didn't notice it gone on CM7...
Just about every custom launcher I know of can do this. Not sure about any ics specific launcher though.

Launcher Pro seems to work, you just need to use their custom icon when making a shortcut.
ADW Launcher I still can't get to work. Guess I'll stick with Launcher Pro.
BTW thanks for helping me realize the issue was with the launcher. I originally assumed it was a problem with the messaging programs themselves.
Thanks for helping me learn other launchers can do this too. Zeam cannot.

I have the same issue with Nova Launcher after updating OTA to v50020b. They appear correctly in the stock launcher but not in Nova. For me it affects Calendar, E-mail, LG Backup, Memo, Task Manager, Voice Mate, Voice Recorder and Weather. The apps still work OK, just a bit annoying that the icons don't show properly. Anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

Hi, is there a way to put LG health and smart notice widgets on third party launchers? I am thinking in apex launchers, which is the one I am using now.
And in case it's not possible (or needs root, I didn't rooted yet), is there a way to open LG health app if you are not using stock launcher? I can't find the app icon in the apps list.
If you're using Nova Launcher,
Hold somewhere on the desktop
Add
Shortcut
Activities
LG Health
I don't think that it's possible to use the widgets but the app itself works. Its a shame I reaalylike it
I'm listening in if anyone has a fix
I would love to see. LG Health widget or app

There is a way to use Google Now Launcher and probably any other third party launcher and use LG Health. You'll have to download an app called Anycut which creates shortcuts. Create a shortcut and choose 'activity' and it'll let you choose LG Health. Smart Notice is unfortunately not possible yet...but I'm sure someone will figure it out.
I wonder if there is possibly some sort of hack to get the LG widgets into other launchers. I really like the calendar widget and the weather widgets are nice, too. They're the only reason I use the stock launcher.

I agree, I like the stock Weather widget and would love to be able to use it with Nova or Action Launcher.

I'd like to know this too. I like having an email widget to use with LG's built-in email app for my various non-Gmail accounts. However, I cannot use the widget with Nova launcher. I was able to use Samsung's email widget (w/ Nova) on my prior Note 2 device.
Can this be done if I root?
Hi, I'm waiting for the same thing... put smart notice on nova launcher... no idea?

did anyone find a solution for this?
Up....
Anyone now?
How about now? Lol.
But seriously, I'm really surprised this hasn't been achieved with ANY stock launcher widgets. Back when I had a Razr HD, the circle widget was one of those on the wish list, but never happened also. The closest resolution was to find a "clone" 3rd party app.
Does anyone have a "technical" explanation as to why this is not possible?
