I got fed up of the htc bookmarks widget so i took it off, now i have a blankscreen! any suggestions of widgets or anything cool to put on?
On my first page i have a few apps and beautiful widgets buttons, page 2 htc agenda, homescreen, music apps then the blank page lol
i put a picture frame at the top, the htc sense compact music player at the bottom
and then links to the camera/camcorder and to music/photos on the sides
Ive been using the cubed music player and spotify, got them set up on a page..
Guess i could use a photo page.. Its so easy to access apps though you dont really need them on pages but i have put the camera app on there like you said
i've got a page with links to internet/opera/marketplace
with the news widget in a bar shape
and a google search box with voice
I like to use ADW launcher. Unfortunately I also liked to use the HTC Sense picture widget that displayed a picture and when clicked took you to the picture gallery.
I have not been able to find an app that satisfactorily emulates the HTC widget.
Could someone make one?
The only requirements are stated above. That it displays a single picture that when clicked takes me to the picture gallery. You can put in more options like a slideshow option or whatever else you can think of. As long as I still have it only display one picture.

I have tried this one. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it to really take me to the photo gallery it just opened the picture viewer where I could only see the one picture in the widget. If I could get it to actually open the gallery where I could view other pictures and open up the camera, then it would be worth it.
I would also recommend turtle photo frame from the market. It does a slides with the widget that pretty cool. It has white and black bordered widget too which means it goes with about everything. Check it out.

heres something i figured out, that will probably suit your needs. i used launcherpro plus which lets you resize widgets, but also allows overlapping them. placed a 4x4 turtle photoframe widget, then re sized it to 3x4 then placed the gallery and video icons and resized the widget back to 4x4. clicking the picture switches to the next or i can click the buttons on the bottom to go to their respective apps.

This is interesting. I might do that until a better widget comes along.
I was wondering where i can find the photo dial widget that comes with the htc phones. I downloaded kings rom (shooter) and was having problems and had to wipe a bunch of times and when i finally when i got everything right, I didnt see it on the home screen which is where it usually is. I looked through the phone but didnt see it.. If I am not mistaken, it was a people tab that you can select and either have your a group like favorites and u can also select the style either up and down or full page, ect... Thanks
Long press on the home screen, select widgets, scroll down, select people, choose widget style. Choose which group you would like to show.
I looked already...Its not there!!!
Is that a sense ROM? If so then you need to reflash as I would be surprised if he stripped that widget out of it.
Hello,
I just bought HC One V a couple of days ago, and I was loving the homescreens and display until I tried removing the Photo Album widget (the one with a stack like appearance). I tapped and held the finger there to make the edit and remove bar appear but the widget simply disappeared.
Now the screen is empty, but I am unable to add ANY widget at that screen.
Any ideas?
it's a tiny bug i faced before, try resetting your phone~ it should work
Second Screen Custom App Icons & Widget Triggering through Tasker/Zooper/Popup Widget
Hi Guys
So I know this isn't earth shattering, but given we are all feeling a bit underwhelmed with the second screen theming options I thought I'd share. I was able to get Second Screen to recognize a custom APK installed through Tasker using Tasker App Factory. I used a combination of Tasker, Popup Widget, Zooper Widget, and Tasker App Factory for this. I'm one of those guys that bought Tasker pro a long time ago, made some basic stuff, and then gave up because easier options came along... kind of the same with Zooper Widget, but I think I might actually starting using it more (even though I believe ZW support is finished) because I barely use the second screens static app options right now, it's just easier to pop onto the homescreen and open whatever I need. I think taking this route will give you access to stuff you might not want on your main screen easily (for me, that's something like the weather channel app), and doing it in any app you're already in. Essentially you just hit the app icon and your widget pops up with the information you want it to show, my widget is interactive so from there I can click certain things on the widget and open them.
I just tried recording my screen to share but it didn't record the second screen, so I'll need to charge my other phone before I can show you what I'm talking about. I'll hopefully get some pictures or a video up shortly.
By the way, this works with Nova Launcher also... I've seen some other threads where you have to use LG Launcher to change your icon.

EDIT
You will need the Zooper Widget Template that was created by Jack Burnett, I got this off of Zooper Widget Google + Community because it was easier than creating my own. I did however, edit a lot of the components to make it more in line with what I was looking for. You can do that in Zooper Widget.
This is a static widget that stays on the home screen, but allows you to interact with various shown components.

In short, you can use this widget standalone and it will not have the Popup Functionality and will always be on the home screen. Clearly this does not help if I am trying to get it on the Second Screen.
Create your Zooper Widget or Import the Template from above.
Create a new Pop Up Widget, import the previously created Zooper Widget into your Pop Up Widget and Save it.
Open Tasker, New Task, + to Add Action, Plugin, Hit Pop Widget Action Plug In… When it opens hit the pencil and select your Pop Up Widget that contains your Zooper Widget. In the bottom right of the Task Edit Screen there will be an icon select button, you can choose your custom icon at that time.
When you are done and on the Tasks list page of Tasker you can long press your Tasker Task that contains your Pop Up Widget and Custom App Icon, you’ll hit the 3 button menu at the top right and select Export. Export it As App. ( You will need Tasker App Factory for this).
When you do that hit the Android icon in the bottom right and it will ask if you want to install the Application just like it does when you download from anywhere else.
You’ll hit install, it should install, hit Done.
Go to Settings, Second Screen, Show When Main Screen is On, App Short Cuts, Scroll down to your APK (make sure you named it in Tasker) and select.
It will add to your second screen and allow you to Use your Custom Icon to interact with your pop up widget options.
What is that widget?

I dont understand the problem, we can change the icons on the main screen and move the app to the second screen

Hi - I'm not understanding your statement. There isn't really a problem. I'm not just changing the icons I am triggering a widget from the second screen that is actionable... We're adding our own Tasker APK to the second screen, which is clickable, and you can interact with the widget. Instead of keeping the widget on your homescreen taking up space, you can just use it whenever you want from the second screen without going to the home screen.. Like I said not earth shattering, but at the time the only changes I had seen regarding customizing second screen were changing icons, but people were saying you couldn't do that unless you used LG stock launcher..
I didnt realize it was about widgets, on the other hand, if you cannot see what is saying it doesnt make much sense, you might as well just have the app shortcut...
His option seems more about having a "peak" option so you can stay in-app.
Maybe a step-by-step guide would be great for us to actually try it out, or even placing other widgets onto it as well? Like Whatsapp, Facebook and stuff like that.
Hi Guys - that's exactly why I was putting it out there. I think the functionality is endless if you are good at creating zooper and popup widgets. I clearly am novice at zooper, popup, and tasker so this was my first go at it. However, I do believe it would allow you to create really whatever you want... I was trying to get a Social Widget created, so I'd hit the one icon and my facebook, instagram, tumblr, etc... would all pull up in one actionable widget window.... but I couldn't get the Popup Widget and Zooper Widget to play nicely in Tasker.
I can put together a guide on how it was done, but to answer the question above, my recording quality was **** but I can clearly see everything on the widget and it's large enough to select individual portions of the widget to open them... ie the wireless dbm monitor if I hit that it takes me to wireless settings, in the middle there's a small calendar square (not clear in the video), if I hit that I go to calendar. And I can do it in app due to second screen or if I am on snapchat and my videos are taking forever to load, instead of pulling down notification panel and long press wifi, I can just go to this popup widget and it shows my dbm and the network I'm connected to immediately without leaving snapchat.
I'll edit the original post so that it's more concise as to what exactly is going on. You can use a shortcut but what this method allows you to do is to create "short cut icons" for whatever you want, even if it's not provided as a typical shortcut, through your zooper widget and tasker.
I'll update what I can to make it more clear though. thanks for your feedback. Again I think It's more of a hey you can do this, someone who has awesome zooper/tasker functionality, roll with it type of thing.

If I did that you'd be limited to only the number of iapp spaces/shortcuts allowed on the second screen. In this instance, you can directly access Calendar, Clock, Wireless Settings, Settings, Weather, Battery, really whatever you want to add to the zooper widget interface by only taking up one App Icon Space in the second screen. I'm writing a more concise post now and will modify it. I added a screenshot of the widget below, it's legible.
