I have a completely clear screen with no widgets or icons on it, and whenever I try to put any of calender widgets it just says there no more room on the home screen. I also tried others ones and it didn't work like the contacts widgets...any idea whats going on?
Thanks
I think I figured out the problem, but not sure how to fix it. I have the paid version of launcherpro where you can resize widgets, the problem is the widget space twice as big as the widget itself and it will not let me resize up or down, only left and right.
Because of this I can only put one widget per screen cause of that "space" that it somehow taking up.
I think because the calender widgets are big and design to fit the screen, that the extra space is causing not to fit, therefore the message comes up "no more space"
Any idea on how to fix this?
check to see what your homescreen grid looks like (i.e. num of columns/rows)
its in the launcher pro preferences / homescreen settings
Thank you!
default is 4 rows and 4 columns.
Ok, so I have Launcher Pro + and have started to use Desktop Visualizer to custom set text icons. Both apps together are amazing and have a great value. The one thing I have found is on one of the icons i have made, is the icon picture keeps going back to the default. And its only one of them with a certain program, Sound hound.
Has anyone else had this problem? Its bizarre
Hi,
in the last few months I really start to like the theme with a static wallpaper (or multi wallpaper) where there is just everything and you use uccw/transparent icon on the phone.
I'm then having problem because often is hard to understand where a widget will be really positioned or is hard to put an icon in the right position (maybe you want to add a counter to it and the counter is not matching the icon in the wallpaper).
I'm using nova launcher (not sure why I choosed that, apex was a little bit laggy scrolling wallpaper and...ss launcher I didn't know about it but right now I love it but because I purchased nova, let's keep nova).
What I'm then wondering is if there are template with line where you can exactly understand where the grid of nova are (7x7, 6x7 and so on) or if someone has some suggestion on how to do that.
I already tried to just craete a pics in photoshop with the resolution of the htc one x and splitting it in 7x7 grid but, not sure why, my grid isn't matching the real grid of the nova homescreen (maybe because there is no notification bar on the top?? don't know).
Any suggesiton or premaded template around (tried to google it but without any good result).
Thanks,
Massimiliano
What you could do I guess, is filling each grid with random apps, screenshot it and open it up in Photoshop and draw a grid based on that. And I think grid size changes if you enable/disable statusbar and dockrow.
And in nova homescreen settings there is width and hight marginal options witch affect grid size aswell.
Perhaps u can make two full size icons with different colours and place out, might make it easier drawing the grid if icons have straight edges.
Edit: take a screenshot while moving a widget, that will show the grid.

Good idea, I'll try it thanks
This will remove the need for modded apks that are being used on a 5x6 or larger launcher.
I've tested it myself on a modded s5 5x6 launcher I made, but would like to make sure it works for any of the other touchwiz launchers.
I made a resizable Apollo music player. If you currently have it installed, remove the widget first. Then as you normally would resize something, long press on the widget.
When i added it back to mine it automatically went to the sizing box as shown.

Post your homescreens. Discuss your widgets. Have fun.
Please, to keep this thread as light as possible, attach screenshots to your reply or post direct links.
My homescreen:
Quick toggle bar at the top is done with PowerToggles. It's the best if you're into quick toggles.
From the beginning of smartphone usage, I depended on homescreen folders for my most used apps. For that purpose, I use Folder Organizer, to which I added a custom folder icon.
Since Nova is my launcher, I decided to replace square dock icons to the round ones by downloading a Lollipop icon pack, extracting what I needed and applying it through Nova. Looks much better, IMHO.
Also, I'm in the process of playing with XWGT instead of Zooper Widget, since XWGT has a much lower memory/cpu footprint to create a widget that has a day/date with a recording function integrated into it. That way, I removed an extra widget from my homescreen and integrated it into the day/date widget.
P.S.
I would like to ask the mods not to close this thread like they closed the first one, because LG Spirit does NOT have it's own forum section, and is purely tag based. So, if mods don't like homescreen threads ending in Misc Dev sections, they should create a proper LG Spirit forum section on XDA.

Since I like not cluttering my homescreen with tons of icons and widdgets, I just don't have anything on it. And since Nova allows to rebind the soft keys to open the app drawer, I don't even need the dock. The only exceptional thing about my homescreen is the wallpaper - I'm using an LWP with a custom GLSL shader. I can drop that here if you would like the code for yourselves.
Nova launcher
Lots of crap out there
@jonixas You got a real Playstation thing going on there
I had one that I liked better, but an update to the app caused all my shaders to dissapear, and I couldn't recreate the one I had. Also, obligatory PCMR> Console peasants
Very basic. Default launcher, default weather app, replaced google app with quick search bar (or something like that) and some contacts. Decided to use the homescreens for only widgets, every app is accessible via the app drawer. Wallpaper is from Backdrops.
This is one older screenshot, but basics are pretty much same
Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime (paid for it)
Icons: Sunshine+Moonshine+Polycon
Widget: XWidget - ZTE Nubia Style, Flashlight widget
Wallpaper: my photo
When finish tweaking design on phone and when setup 4 more e-mail accounts to phone I would post latest home screen... It is a quite changed then this one (from wallpaper up to widgets which I have)
Mine is pretty simple.
Nova launcher
Yahoo weather widget
Wallet app and Quick camera widget
Here is my many-year-old setup, except that I only lately started having 6 dock icons, instead of 5.

Perhaps next time, you should post in an appropriate forum (namely a non-development forum).
