My power control widget vanished and I its not in the widget drawer on any launcher. What happened?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Its been renamed to Power Toggles, the rename is probably why it disappeared.
It's literally gone. I had it on one of my home screens on apex launcher and now it's no where to be found, renamed or not

Yeah you will have to re-download it, think that's what I had to do - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
The app description says "Note: with the latest update all existing application shortcuts will go away, please add them again" so this would explain it.

Ah we're talking about different things. I was referring to the default android one that's built into android. I might try this though. Just seems weird a default android widget just vanished

Interesting, that makes sense then because I put the beta on and uninstalled it and put the market version back on and that's when I noticed it was missing.

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.

Until UKB and Viper I was using CM10 and Apex Launcher was my go-to. It's got the persistent search bar as an option and also used my scrollable calendar widget with it.
EDIT: It's also free with the option to buy, which gives you more customization.

+1 on apex. I have a calendar widget that scrolls and it offers the persistent search.
I'm using the photo contacts widget and it won't work w apex. If you look on the market it says adw, go, etc ... any launcher that supports scrollable widgets. So should I assume the widget is at fault? Is there an option to enable it in apex that I'm missing?
Any of you guys have suggestions on a good contacts widget? I like the photo contacts one and have used it since day 1 but maybe its time to move on....

I haven't used it, so it's hard to say, but they don't specifically mention nova or apex. Wish I could be more helpful.
I've used nova, apex, and go, and I always seem to go back to trebuchet, I hardly ever use Widgets so its the cleanest launcher for me

Sure.
Not a big fan of the pop up menu in the new ADW. Would like to see it as optional. Also the transitions are a bit choppy even with some speed tweaks. Those were the only things I have noticed off the bat. I plan on playing with it more but will probably revert to Nova pending future ADW EX updates.

Hello all. I've been using nova launcher for a long time and I've been irritated a little because nova is not a complete replica of the stock android launcher (android 4.2). What I mean is, it looks similar but the spacing of the icons are not right (which I am able to adjust through nova settings) and the folder when opened its too close to the edge of my screen. Is there any other launcher that can possibly give me the closest feel to stock launcher apart from the stock launcher itself?
Thanks

That I can do, but what I don't like is how the folders are pushed to the edge. There's supposed to be a bit more gap than the whats in default by nova.

Except it's not. The icons are at the top of their "areas" so there's a large gap at the bottom and almost none at the top. Changing the spacing affects both, so they are never even. Widgets seems to work properly. This has always bothered me about nova.

Can't live without nova prime launcher, the fact I can place more apps in folders an get rid of the useless stock search bar at top is worth it alone.
my question, why would they make a replica of Default launcher? if they're making a launcher they want to make sure its different and nothing like the default one..
if you know what i mean.. and btw i use nova launcher and i think its pretty neat and easy to use..
nova launcher is the best
