Hi guys.
Im using UltimateLaunch which i think is GREAT! The only issue that i have with it is that i hate the low quality analogue clock that it comes with.
Is there any way to download another clock and use it in UltimateLaunch? The clock that comes with the ROM im using (PDACornerPro V22) is awesome and i would like to use that inside UltimateLaunch.
Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks guys
I dont like that default clock either! And yes you can change that clock to whatever you want. Look for rlToday, they have a huge collection of clocks and you can probably replace the clock file with the one you find. Also there are many other clocks applications that are available in this forum. Search using the link below and try it out.
Attached is my home screen using UL, I am sure it will help you figure out what I am talking about!
can you put the calendar home plugin into the ultimatelauchn cube? i couldnt fine the way to do that.

yes you can, go to setting and poke around. I am sure you can figure it out in no time!
I've switched to CM7 recently, and really miss the utility of the Sense clock app.
Would really like something that has clock/alarm/timer/stopwatch in one app.
I've searched for a while and can't find anything.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Well, i can't say i know something that covers all your req's, but I use FlipClock Blue Magic and it is a pretty nice clock. Resembles the sense clock and allows skins and other customizations. It can show your next alarm on the clock (although not set a new alarm). It does allow you to set an application to start when you touch the hours part of the clock. It can also display system information and weather.
No timer/stopwatch though, but if you find a timer/stopwatch app, you can set it to launch that app by touching the hours on the clock.
... Just set the cm clock as the application to launch for the hours and it brings you to a screen where you can set a new alarm, show picture slideshow, access your music, and get back to your home screen. Might be worth a shot
This was written by an XDA dev. Absolutely awesome.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I'm not looking for a widget. I'm fine with Beautiful Widgets/Simi.
<br>
I have it now set up to bring up stock clock when the hour/minutes are touched. I wanted instead to have it launch something else that would include both a clock and a timer/stopwatch.
But I guess if it doesn't exist, then it doesn't exist.
Oh, lol! Sorry I totally misunderstood your question lol. I will keep an eye out now that I re-read lol

Hey Guys, I really like this negative colors widget on SGS III.
Great on apps with white background but I can't seem to figure out any combination to trigger it on easily
You gotta go back to main screen and then tap on the widget for it to work making it more trouble than being neat
there are some gestures app but they don't support gesture to trigger widget. Does anyone know any good app combination to make it easy to trigger
thanks in advance Guys

It has a feature that allow you to start/stop the negative color with 4 press on physical home button
ohh.... I hate physical home button and almost never used it
if only there's a similiar app that gives negative color but not as a widget
I think SwipeStarter allows widgets for gestures...

Tried it, love it. Does anyone know what it's APK name is in the root directory? I feel like I am blind. I found most widgets in system/app but cant seem to find the Negative Colors widget anywere. (I really want to just change the widgets look. Not have the text that says "Negative Colors" and only have that little symbol
--- edit:more info---
Leaving a screenshot of what I'd like to see on my phone. (In the screen cap its really just a file explorer shortcut to a white img and I changed the icon of the shortcut)

Some ported kitkat roms like qs-i9300-kk have negative colour features in Settings/Accessibility. It will reverse the colours on the screen.

Forgive me Moderator, this is a few questions, but I am not familiar with what would be 'a question' if it is not, please feel free to change. Thx
This is my first LG phone. I am not sure if I have some questions because of that, or because of the specific phone, or due to the screen size.
1. What is the fitness app all the way to the left screen?
It is not in the widget list or app list. Is it just LG Fitness?
2. I want to use the native launcher for a change, it appears so much better than TWiz. But I do like my 4x1 widgets to span the whole screen. Can you widen the widgets to do that? Or would that require a 5x5 screen which LG's launcher can't do
3. If I were to use Nova, I suppose the answer to #1 above would answer this, but if that LG Fitness is the same app, I could place a widget for that on one screen, provided it has one. What is the best fitness app with a widget?
4. I have a big selection of wallpapers. In the past I would normally use PicSpeed or Backgrounds HD to set the wallpaper normally selecting wide. I am a little confused as one of the apps I am using, with one size wallpaper I have (either 1980x1020 or 2550x1420) when set on the homescreen flickers a little, then the screen itself, not the home buttons or notification bar, turns black. I set it again, with what app I can't figure out and whether I select full screen (wide) or just normal, something fixes it? Any idea?
5. Lastly, I had read that the screen on the LG is wonderful, may take a little of the battery, but also that it is a little dim. Well I agree.
But it was a LOT dim when my battery is at 14. As much as I thought I knew, maybe I don't let my phone get that weak, but even with the battery saver off, it appears that Android has a built in mechanism to lower the brightness at some point. Would that be correct? And I use Brightness Toggle Widget app. Weird but on all other phones, it was in sync with the phone - when I would change it on the widget, the phone would change. When I would change on the phone, the widget would change. Can someone shed light on that. Do some apps just not update or work on certain phones. Is there a better app to use a widget where you can set the brightness at selected interval %'s
Thanks to anyone who has any ideas or answers to any questions

Thank You first of all. Yes, sort of. Not that new, I don't give myself credit. LOL But thank you very much
1. I knew it can be gotten rid of etc, but I am unlike most, I like it. It can't be had in other launchers can it? The best I could find was using a shortcut to a Nova Activity which can find a lot of hidden things there. Works well, as an app though, not a widget
2. How can you widen them to full screen in the LG Launcher, if you would be willing to share. Thank You
3. Refers back to #1. Thank You
4. Thank You
4. It does help as far as getting the proper size wallpapers. I guess my problem is finding out which apps work, not to find them, but to set them on the phone, that you are not downloading from Zedge and are a different size, probably smaller. But I'm not able to pinpoint the problem any more than 'probably smaller' Some work fine, some don't

2. You can't resize widgets on the LG Launcher, you need Nova for that, I'm pretty sure.
you can expand widgets
It depends on the widget themselves. If the developer allow resizing it can be resized, but if not then it can't.
Example PayPal doesn't allow resizing while Eye in the Sky does.
Using the app called Popup Widget, I'm able to quickly place any kinds of widget directly on the second screen, since we can easily move back and forth app shortcuts from the second screen and home screen, but that mainly applies to the stock launcher only, tried with Nova, but didn't work. Anyways, here's a video showing an example of creating widget and placing it into second screen and works fine.
https://youtu.be/mX-diQEANw8
The app is called Popup Widget, and can be found on the Play Store.
Credits @klark1kent for the idea of implementing custom widgets on the second screen using Zooper and Tasker apps. If you want, you can head over to his thread in the link below for an in-depth guide using Zooper Widgets
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/themes-apps/screen-custom-app-icons-widget-t3269726
Update: So, I've created a new video that actually allows you to add more icons/shortcuts to the second screen. So take a look over at the link below.
https://youtu.be/nuo0IAhwUR0
The app is called SiMi Folder Widget, and can be found on the Play Store.
You've been busy. How did you ever come up with this? Nice video though
Shame it doesn't work with Nova.

Usually what I'd do since you can easily toggle between different launchers via settings, just switch to the stock launcher, place it in then change back.

The idea was actually from your thread, so got to thank you for that idea that you actually came up, and I was looking around for other alternatives instead of using Zooper and Tasker, and Popup Widget sort of solves the issue for me. And also having to place any kind of widgets on your second screen really helps in situations where you wouldn't want to get kicked out of other apps, let's say if you are messaging and you want to quickly see some new tweets to freshen up.

That's exactly what I said in thr original thread. I used popup widget also but hey I'm happy you liked the idea and clearly I didn't create a guide initially because I wanted to get it out to the community as soon as possible anyway I agree the options are endless... The only thing about just using popup which I alluded to in the other post is that it wasn't working with other launchers and zooper allows you to create your own widgets and add them to popup instead of relying on system default widgets. Let's keep the innovations coming though but yeah I was surprised you essentially jacked the idea with zero credit. Thanks for making it right

Oh damn, I guess I didn't read it clearly! Really sorry about that... I guess I did miss the part about Popup Widget and was sort of lost in the guide of yours so I was looking around for alternatives. My bad if I really missed out on my part but I hope you enjoyed the mini guide that I created, and shall give proper credits for you
Best app for v10 so far
Bumping for suggestions
Is Popup Widget the same as Popup Widget 2? Because I couldn't find any Popup Widget without a 2 next to it.

Is there a way to make popup widgets using the stock apps like favorite contacts and LG Health?
I haven't tried, but would think you could make a widget from Zooper, then use Popup widgets utilizing your custom zooper widget

As those are LG-based Widgets, which is lockdown only to stock launcher, Popup Widget can't recognize it as a proper widget, only universal ones work.
Hence sadly it's not possible to actually get those into the second screen.
