What happened to the picture frame widget? Since I have upgraded to JB it has gone missing. I know, not a big deal, but I like to keep a pic or two of my daughter on one of my homescreens. If this is no longer a part of the stock rom, then can anyone recommend an app from the play store that can do this?
Thanks.
I used to use this one:

Hello all...
How I can enable my wallpaper scrolling on my ICS..??
Regards...
You can't. Samsung removed that ability. Rumor has it Apple invented scrolling wallpaper shortly after they developed Fire and The Wheel.

CM9 has it though if you ever go down that road.
What about wallpaper wizardry @ the play store?

Was waiting to see someone say that, next suggestion will be to use Apex, Nova or any of the new launchers. Unless one of them very recently added it back in somehow, none of these suggestion will work anymore. At first the initial removal of the feature was still working using Wallpaper Wizardry. Somewhere along the lines they got rid of it altogether. Even using Apex/Nova and setting a scrolling wallpaper through WW did nothing.

I believe go launcher has it, if you don't mind the bloat

i was going to mention go launcher too. it is easy to use, and a lot you can do with it. i never see anyone mention it here though
I didn't think of Go... I usually avoid Go products because of the bloat and battery drain.
LauncherPro looks like it's working for scrolling wallpaper. It's just fairly long in the tooth these days...

Lmao, I was wondering why my wallpaper wouldn't scroll. Alot of people are fine with LauncherPro still, even on ICS. If you don't mind it, give it a go.
Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:
This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.
Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Thats truly an amazing launcher, no other one allows such customization, I gotta have it. Thanks for the tip
Very nice
It does look pretty amazing! I might give it a whirl this weekend when I get paid.....still worth getting.

Price is a bit high but I took the plunge and I believe it can only get better love it so far.

Well, thank you all. I guess there is no way for me to achieve what I want without running a launcher on top of my ROM. :thumbup:

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.
I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.

Hi,
I just received the update for Jelly bean (3.14.751.20), it looks goos and run smooth but one thing I noticed is that HTC's people widget 2x4 is gone, instead there are only 2 widget 4x4.
Anyone knows why and if I can get the old one back, it was really nice
Thanks
Doron
Care to confirm this on my thread for me mate?!

Yes, you can resize only vertically, also the widget has one with too much contact information (e.g. last sms, facebook status ) and the grid one.
Im wondering the same thing, is there a way to replace the people widget from another Jelly Bean Sense rom, I hate when HTC removes widgets I actually use for no reason.
My wife wants to stay as stock as possible, even staying on TouchWiz. But I haven't been able to find a contacts app that has a widget that will scroll on TW. Anyone know of one we can try?
I'm thinking the issue is that TW just won't support it, but thought I'd see if anyone knows of one.

Try THIS you can always return with in 15 min if is not what you looking for. BTW JB have wiget so you can get favorite contacts on screen.
APW is another good one with a lot of themes.

Hey guys, I just stepped up to the 4 from the 3 and I love the widget. However, it looks like crap with most wallpapers. I've seen several transparent ones in the home screen pics, can someone please give me the link? I'm not a newbie, I searched..Lol. Seems you need to be rooted to use the ones I found. I store I wasn't gonna root this one... it's only a matter if time though...Lol! Thanks in advance.

As far as a transparent TW weather widget, I don't think that one's possible. One alternative that looks pretty close is "Transparent Clock & Weather" from the play store.
Without root, try beautiful widgets from play store. The tw one is from evilart (wicked roms), and its for rooted phones.
