I miss the stock news and weather app on the n7. Anyone know what all I would need to pull from a stock rom or from CM10? Thanks.

Posted this in another thread, but this one works fine on the N7.
That said, the Google service seems to be down, has been down all day for me, on all my devices, which span Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, ICS, and Jellybean.

Mine started working again this morning, having been down for most of yesterday.
Works good just can't get into the setting to change anything or customize my feeds. I though the galaxy nexus didn't have a physical menu key, I figured it would trigger the on screen menu key automatically.

Works well, but is there any way to make the widget bigger? Looks kinda small on the N7 home screen.

If you use Apex or another 3rd party launcher you can re-size it. Sadly, the JB launcher isn't quite as versatile as the 3rd party ones when it comes to resizing widgets, I believe it relies on the widget itself to tell it what sizes it can be and if that information is lacking in older widgets, she no resize.

Non removable Google search bar was the reason why I have to use non stock launcher ;-)
The good widgets have options so you can define how often to update weather, or disable it completely. I had to try MANY until found one I like.
Beautiful widgets is sufficient.

Here's a silly question - now I've removed the Google search bar to see what it looks like off, I've decided I prefer it on. How do I get it back?
I can't enable the app or redownload it. Is it gone forever, or is there an option I've missed?

Well, turn it on the same way! Disabled apps go to the bottom of the pile IIRC, so it won't be in it's usual alphabetical order position.

Going to give it a try and see how it does when paired up against Nova & Apex.

Holy s**t, I gave up on ADW ages ago and jumped to Apex... I'm going to have to give it another shot and see how it compares. Thanks for the heads-up.
It's been a long time I haven't used ADW...
It looks good, I've been playing with screens and settings for 20mn... it feels like home, but better.
The best feature Apex desn't have is changing icons size... Just for that, I could forget Apex and stick to ADW (why creating 128x128 icons when Apex resize them to some tiny half sized icons ?!!)
I've encountered some few bugs (I guess) with theming dock.. nothing important though, as I usually get rid of it and go for full screen
Adding widgets pop up is amazing.. think tablet mode.. 2 panels with previews.. that's trully sexy.. <3

Did ADW ever go anywhere? They brought ICS style like months ago..before I got my Nexus I remember trying it out. In fact pretty sure I was running ICS at the time on my Xperia, so it was my first choice since it had the ICS look and Launcher pro didn't.
I don't particularly like it more than Nova, but at least I don't present my own opinion in such an unpleasant manner. *sets tea down
Jolly good to hear ADW back in business though! Now where did fedrico go..

It uses Yahoo Weather, as stated, and apart from adding the extension it should just pick up your location. I didn't have to manually add it. Whether it is done by GPS or Mobile Network location, it just seemed to take for me.

This used to happen to me . Then i disabled the option to use home screen widgets in lock screen from my custom rom menu.
But now there is a new version from this app, that allows your homescreen widget to have full transparent background.
Yes i just updated recently, now how can i resize the overall icons and texts? They're so big... and i have to slide down to see the rest of the notifications.

There is one. Search for dashclock extensions on the play store.
I love the widget. Its fantastic. The only issue I've had is refresh time. I don't know if its there app or what, but I had a missed call yesterday morning. Even though I cleared the notification and even called them back it never went away from the widget. Hope he fixes it soon

Did you have a solution for this issue ? My LockScreen also take 2/3 from the Screen, so i cant see the full DashClock
Unless you have some sort of Lockscreen control built into the ROM, and enabled maximize lockscreen widgets or however it's worded, then there doesn't seem to be a way to force it to max size. Unless someone has found another method, which I am eagerly looking for.
I'm loving this, but the weather doesnt seem to show for me. Even tried defining a location in the default clock to see if it was connnected.
looks nice...

Hi all,
I was playing about with another random non-brand tablet when I went to unlock the device (just slide lock enabled). The lock circle include a range of apps (possible favourites) with the actually unlock icon as one of them. There was nothing fancy about it all, no graphical changes or folders. Just apps.
Does such an application exist. I know there are loads around that do fancy stuff that go into contacts, folders etc, etc but this simply had apps on the lock circle and that's what I'm after.
Cheers,
vgjfelix

Is there any way to resize any widget like CM does with the stock launcher w/Xposed and Gravitybox?
You can resize widgets without any app/hack/whatever on stock launcher on Android.
Just hold the widget and you should be able to resize it by puhing the sides or the top/bottom frames.

That's a negative.
For example, the Pandora widget can be stretched the full width of the screen in CM. I can't do it on the stock launcher.

By looking at the colors of your icons on top, I take it you don't have KitKat on your N7? Maybe Android 4.3? If so, it looks like you have the wrong version of Gravity Box. You need the one with JB at the end (for Jelly Bean) and not the one with KK (for KitKat). That could be why. I'm on 4.4.2 on my N5 and N7, and both have Launcher Tweaks under where it says Media Tweaks.

Most widgets you can re size but there are still a lot you can't and would need some sort of launcher like nova to resize everything
