Any Zooper users here?
Very cool widget app - I like it much more than the Make Your Clock app.
Maybe it's just me, but I can't resize any of the widgets on the N7, and therefore, everything is too small. I've written the Dev, posted on his blog, and maybe I'll hear about a fix/procedure for this.
I figured I'd ask here, in the event that someone here has resolved this issue.
Shout back if you have this app running right on your N7.
Thanks!
Just got a response from the Dev. He informed me that the very cool templates provided in his app need to be manually reconfigured (sized-up) to be useful on an N7 - at least useful for me.
This is a great app with some EXCELLENT templates. I already own "Make Your Clock" app, so if I wanted to spend (too much) time designing/re-configuring widget elements, I can do that now. IMO, the available templates are what sets this app apart from the rest - but they really don't work on the N7.
I'm using Zooper pro, never noticed something like this, maybe because i dont use any of the templates.
createt all widgets myself. and yes, this app is pretty good.
Yup - it's the templates that I was hoping to use.
Otherwise, the app looks good, but I already have an app that, feature-for-feature, is about the same.
I was just hoping to plug/play using Zooper templates.
The Dev has been very responsive - thumbs up on that front.

I use Zooper. I was having trouble resizing widgets, too, and found that when I went into the edit screen and clicked on layout, then backed out of the app, it reconfigured to the size I wanted.
ETA: with the exception of my clock widget, I used a template.

Jessicahll:
Good info to know. Thanks! I only witnessed very minor resizing behavior - maybe I need to ininstall and try again.
Question for you: Can you actually make any of the templates as large as you want? For instance, can you take the vertical month template (the one with all of the days of the month on the vertical axis) and enlarge it in the manner you suggest to be as tall as our N7 screen? Not that I would want that, but I am curious to know if the resizing you've done has been minor, or more significant.
I found a number of the templates to be very close to what I want. But my resizing efforts never got the text to be anything other than "really tiny".
I look forward to your response.

I don't have any problems with the widget sizing. I get the templates to the sizes I want without any trouble.

The best that the app did for me was to resize a very tiny widget up to the size of a tiny widget.
You can just grab the object handles and make widget templates as large as you want?
If so, there must be some environment variable that is somehow different for you.
Is your N7 unlocked/rooted or locked/non-rooted?
I resize the widgets by pretending you are about to move them by picking them up but not moving to another grid on the screen. After you let the widget fall back to its original space you get the resize option for widgets. After the change of the widget size the app refreshes itself and you good to go

Yep - that's the standard object handles behaviour, and it's not what I saw. When I did the same thing, I could drag out a new perimeter size for the widget, but nothing inside the widget would resize.
I took the Dev's "general" recommendation (for most devices) to follow this by going into the widget config page directly after resizing, and once you return, BAM, the widget contents would be resized.
Not in my case. And not in the experiences of many other Zooper/N7 users - evidenced by plenty of complaints of the lack of resize functionality.
The Dev himself says it doesn't work on the N7, so if it's working for you, you are standing in the golden shaft of Android light from above.
BTW: I found the Dev to be extremely helpful and responsive in my interactions with him.
I put on the Zooper Widget in any size then select a layout. Hit okay if it tells you it won't fit. Then hit the back button out of the editor until you're back at your home screen. Then resize it to what you want the way you would any widget. Tap on it to edit it and input what you want it to look like. Then back out of the editor back to the home screen. It will fit the template to your size.
At least that's my experience.
Here is a screen shot of my N7. My calendar on the side actually stands the whole height of my screen. The clock is a separate widget. I have my launcher set to allow overlap of widgets. (For the record, I use Holo Launcher.)

Interesting! Maybe I'll have to reinstall and try again using your specific method.
The Dev, Frenzy, refunded my purchase, and in a subsequent email, he sent me the APK so that I could continue to play with it.
Per jessicahll's instructions, it works perfectly! What an awesome app. I just designed a simple home screen with a great look and needed utility.
Thanks to the Dev and jessicahll!
I love zooper, this is my current zooper set up. Have had it for awhile, gotta play around and find something new and elegant

here http://novalauncher.uservoice.com/forums/145180-nova-launcher
and here http://apexlauncher.uservoice.com/forums/146396-general-feedback
and vote to have shortcuts to different homescreens (at this point it would be easier for it to work with nova launcher since it already has customizable icons but apex launcher should be getting that soon)
Wow that looks pretty cool!

Working on a new work around for this, and it should also improve battery life, and possibly amount of time to set up (for everyone but me). The basic idea is this, instead of using a widget to cover up the home screen icons, edit your wallpaper to cover up the icons and have that as the style instead. I havent had much time to work with this yet but i will hopefully get this up and running soon. But i have tested and the shortcuts do survive a wipe if you just backup adw, so you shouldnt have to do any work to set this up after flashing things.
created a work around heres the background... image still needs some editting as it does not like up quiet right with actions

What you have to do is resize it to cover over it and that is how you move it over. The youtube video is a bit better to see how to do this.

I've decided to start this thread because like others I'm always looking for new Applications & Widgets for my device. With the massive amount of Application releases each day it's quite time consuming to constantly keep up to date let alone test out each of these.
With that said, what are some Applications / Widgets you simply cannot live without? Those that look good on the homescreen / lockscreen / etc.
If you'd like to include a screenshot with your post as well that'd be great, let's build a good list for people who aren't familiar with all the Applications the Android Market has to offer!

With that said I'd have to put Poweramp in the list, it's simply the best Application for music with a ton of options.

Hmm... I'd have to say mClock for the aesthetics and simple calendar widget for functionality and aesthetics. And Android pro Widgets rule too...

Quite simple really...
1.) Just download the image you want to look up.

3.) Upload that image to Google Image Search.
4.) Profit.

Sure. Here you go. I edited the Mario one so that there is more black space to align with homescreens properly. Added an extra one for fun. These images aren't mine... I found these on the "post your homescreen thread" here at XDA.
Just started using WidgetLocker these past few days, seems it's transitioned into more of a stable application for the Nexus. I'm having no noticeable lag at this time.

My must-have apps/widgets would be:
BeWeather Pro - very nice weather app with an assortment of widget sizes that can be skinned via BeWeather skins OR Beautiful Widget skins.
PlayerPro - Music app that I absolutely love. Has a fantastic GUI, great sound quality and the dev is very responsive. I've tried just about every music app out there and this is one fits my musical needs best.
XiiaLive - Awesome internet radio station app that plays Shoutcast stations. Use this to blast my internet dance radio stations through my car stereo while having my Gnex paired to it via Bluetooth).
Equalizer (by Smart Android Apps) - Great EQ app that I use to have equalized sound in the various music apps on my phone (PlayerPro, Google Music, XiiaLive, Digitally Imported, etc.).
CarHome Ultra - Fantastic app that takes care of the problem of Samsung taking forever-and-a-day to release their stupid official car dock for the Gnex by having the option to automatically put my phone in car mode when my phone connects to my car stereo over Bluetooth. Love this app!
gReader Pro - Best RSS reader I've found that can access Google Reader feeds. Again, tried many, many various RSS apps out there and this one stomps them all (for my needs anyway).
Nova Launcher - Takes the native ICS launcher and kicks it up a notch with some very nice extra features. Kinda funny/sad that it does a better job with controlling lag when using the stock ICS Live Wallpapers than Google's own native launcher.
Pure Calendar - Skinnable widget that can pull my Google Calendar and Touchdown Exchange calendar data together and display them all very nicely in a scrollable widget. The dev of the "Pure" series of apps/widgets really does a great job with all of the apps in this line.
iSyncr - Fantastic app that allows me to sync my iTunes-based playlists on my iMac to my Gnex. Also has a companion app to do the syncing wirelessly.
Google Voice - For all the options it gives to deal with voicemail messages, spam calls/texts, not to mention free texting! Been using this since it became available and I think I'd pretty much die without it now. haha
WiFi File Explorer Pro - Handy app that allows me to access my phone from my computer over my home wifi network.
----------------------
Sorry if this list it a bit long but these are all the apps I use regularly and would dearly miss if they were to go away.

Yep this is the Nikk setup.
I ask him for PSD but no answer, I only found a link he gave to download the 3 different wallpapers in jpg.
So I opened my Photoshop and decided to realize these fresh icons (and uccw) from scratch as I wanted to set this on my girlfriend's GNex (freshly rooted XenonDH, Nova Prime) ... since I love her so much
So finally I made the icons I needed for her setup. But then I think to myself that maybe some of you here are interested , so decided to raise the number of icons in the set and then just upload psd and pngs here. (And increase your pupils life by preventing them from a too long exposure in front of an LCD screen
No Play Store stuff. As I don't have time to make the apk for each launcher. I just opened 1 go theme apk and well ... it's not so complicated. I barely got the idea on how to do it. The thing is, from what I've seen in the Go apk opened, when you turn an iconset into an apk you have to bind all activities and applications to the wanted icon, in severals XML files ... well, I've made this set 323 pieces large ... got my point lol ?

Oh man, don't even worry about it, the cart is fine I just overlooked it a million times.
I really want his wallpapers without the built in icons and widget. I might tackle it myself for personal use.
EDIT: Eghhh, there's no way to really replicate the exact layout without using Nikks method of having everything as part of the wallpaper.
I just can't get the icons close enough, plus they're too small (not complaining just stating haha).
Oh well, I still love everything that has been put into this. Thanks man.

If I were you here is what I will do.
I'm on GNex so assuming you're on Photoshop :
- new doc (720x1280),
- pick the starting and ending colors on nikk wallpaper.
- apply radial background,
- add noise filter,
- apply wallpaper to your phone.
- set it fixed.
- done.

Hey pooley, if it's possible could you make a tumblr icon? It's the only one that I'm missing. I would use the tutorial you linked to, but I won't have access to my laptop for some time. If it's too much of a hassle, then no worries. Thanks for sharing the icon set regardless!

On it this weekend. I'm kind of busy with pro stuff.

Since I develop these themes on my Gnexus, I thiught it would be appropriate to post them here as well, where it's easier for you, gnexus owners, to apply all the skins. Enjoy
Hi everyone, I finally decided to share my work. I thought a lot about to put these as paid skins/widgets, but I finally decided to share them for free, because I feel very bounded to open source philosophy, and because this way I can pay back all the people that, as me, share their work for free. Nothing against paid works, they all deserve to be paid, the amount of time I spent on any of these set up it's sometimes just absurd, and yes I'd like to gain some money for that, but I prefer to let the users decide wether or not give a free donation, as I always did. No more words, just enjoy my themes, I hope you like them:good:

Troubleshooting post
Tips and Tricks
We all know that apply those kind of themes can be a very PITA :angel: By the way, there are some workarounds I learned, and I want to share them with you, because I know they will help you. I'll refer particularly to my themes, but sure they can be applied on any theme with the same situation.

First: Wallpaper
I own a Galaxy Nexus (maguro), it means that I develop my themes on a 1280x720 screen resolution; as a consequence, the wallpapers I provide to you implie this resolution. What about if you own another device?
Well, there are basically two ways to fix this issue:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First: for pro users
-take a screenshot of your device screen, it will give you a perfect wallpaper with your screen resolution
-open that screenshot on a image editor, Photoshop, Gimp, whatever.
-Now, open the wallpaper as a level (assume that we are dealing with a 1280x720) onto your screenshot, and resize it accordingly.
done
Second: any user
-Dwonload one of these two applications, or you find a simalr one, use that one, it doesn't really matter
Wallpaper Wizardrii
or
Image2Wallpaper
-the point of both of these two applications is exactly size a wallpaper with a different resolution than your device.
-resize the wall accordingly
done
Hot spots, and clickable but invisible spots
A nice trick I learned is how to make an hotspot invisible, but still clickable. Suppose that we have a skin with a part we want it clickable, app drawer for example, take Circle Skin as reference.
You see the red circled app drawer icon? Well, that's not an icon, it's part of the UCCW skin, it means it's a bitmap pasted onto UCCW skin. You can either make it as an hotspot through UCCW, this way:
-touch the skin
-UCCW editor will open (*if nothing happens, it means you locked the skin! Go to UCCW app, click the three dots in the upper right screen corner/Lock widgets (hotpsot mode) MUST BE OFF
-now, find the your images, that app drawer icon in our example, and assign it an hotspot
modify objects/hotpost/choose what you need
You can also use another trick, and it works this way:
-place the icon you want to open clicking that very specific part of the skin, we want to open the app drawer, so I will place a Nova shortcut to open the drawer.
-of course the icon it's just unappropriate, we want it clickable, but invisible.
-in order to achieve this goal, long press on the icon or the shortcut/edit/choose an image from your gallery/apply the png available below
download
-this is nothing more than an invisible.png I made through an image editor
-select this ong as your new icon image, and voilà, the icon it's still there, but now it's invisible:good:
*NOTE: make sure that once you did that, the icon, the clickable but invisible one, it's emphasized (put in to the foreground), otherwise the skin will overlap it and it won't be clickable!

Skins designed to match a wallpaper
It means, especially when it comes to me, that I often realize set up that involves a precise match between skins and wallpaper. This is a bit messy, especially when it comes to apply the skin on a different resolution device. What can you do? Well, my best advice is to play with grid size, and try to obtain a wallpaper the closest possible to the screenshot I provide you as a reference. Also, make sure to hide the parts I tell you, because if I developed the skin hiding my navbar, if you try to apply that very skin with your navbar visible, all the skins will make a step up, and the mismatch between skin and wallpaper will result hugely visible.
Last advice: yes, I know UCCW and ZW are scary for non expert users, at least the first time, but guys, I left you the skin fully editable, I didn't lock any of the elements, it means that with a bit of work you're virtually able to adapt my themes to WHATEVER resolution/device/situation. That's up to you, I can help by the way:good:

Rather than have to use multi picture live wallpaper (I hate that bloated app), I'd like to just use zooper to show backgrounds, but is there any way to have them fill the whole thing?
This is using Nova Launcher.

Kind of. Try Themer.
Would really not rather have to install the whole themer suite to be able to do this, there must be a simpler way?
It puzzles me that launchers don't let you set different wallpapers per page as standard, what's up with that??

If you have gaps between your Zooper widget and the edges of the screen, change your homescreen grid. Most times even numbered grid like 8X6 seem to work best.
Your main problem for the "whole screen" approach will be the navbar. There is no way to get a widget "behind" it, so your only option would be to hide it via Immersive Mode. This would require root though.
I'm working on a fix, but I have another question/gripe: Is there any way to stop zooper from caching the selected image, and keep using the one I selected from the location it is in? It would help a lot with changing an image, copying it over to the phone, then changing the widget to choose the new image rather than the cached one. Very annoying.
Ugh. Feeling frustrated here.
I'm trying to make my backgrounds the full resolution of the phone, 1920x180.
I can't get it to look right like this: (the green background will be changed to grey, it's there to help me adjust it.)
But I'm having to make the files like this:
(In order to get the above image)
What's going on? Why can't I just use a full resolution image?

The resolution you quote is for the full screen of the device but this includes the navbar too. What Android and thus Zooper get as the rendering screeen is your device resolution - navbar (- statusbar if you don't hide it in Nova for instance). So if you have aimage that's the full (device) resolution it won't fill the width of the device because of the different ratios between device resolution and actual rendering resolution.
Sigh. The solution - so simple. /facepalm
I just set the image as a background across all pages. It's the same on each one, so there was really no need to do all this.
Now if only I could somehow set it without quickpic/novalauncher trying to crop it, when it's the perfect size.
The fruits of my 3-hour long labour, when the solution was so simple...
Still, I'm wondering if there is any way to stop zooper from caching images and just use the ones in the same location as they are selected.

Looking good! Worth the effort I'd say
And to answer your question: no, there isn't. Zooper always caches images (probably for performance reasons).

Thanks. Another quick question - when I open the zooper widget and select an element to modify, is there no way to go back to the main zooper window to select another widget without exiting and going back in to the app drawer and launching it again? Another annoyance.

Also no on that one. I prefer to keep the OnTap for widgets intact as long as possible so I can enter the edit mode just by tapping them for this reason and only change it at the last possible moment.
Rather than making a new thread, is it possible to re-create the battery widget seen in my screenshot with zooper? (Always in favour of using less apps than required).
I'm guessing it is, perhaps I can try modifying the battery/clock widget that comes with zooper?

Hi,
Use a progress bar with settings such as 300 length, 3 high, 360 curve.
