Launcherpro Widget help

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.

[Q] Couple questions: Android Weather Widget and Widget Spacing

ICS is driving me a little nuts... First the normal weather and news app cannot seem to find my location. It won't even find me if I manually put it in, city or zip code. Is this because I'm in the US or is this broken?
Second, is there any way I can fix the widget spacing? I put the news, a calendar widget and weather widget on my main page. No matter if they are HTC or Android, the spacing between the widgets is huge and looks terrible. Even adjusting the widget size leaves a huge amount of unusable space.
Appreciate any help!

I noticed the huge gap also in the widgets. I kept trying to move the Google Search widget under the clock and weather but wouldn't go close.
I am guessing this is how it is in ICS?

Anyone find a solution, or are we just the minor few that care?
Unfortunately, between this and the battery life I'm considering returning mine and sticking with my Note.
EDIT: The weather widget is still funky, but I went under settings and even though it wouldn't accept a manual location I used automatic then forced a refresh and it sometimes works.

Unfortunately, despite the large real estate the screen provides, the homescreens are still laid out in a 4x4 grid. So, no matter where you put it, it will still show a gap. Makes no sense, I know. They could've laid everything out in a 5x5 grid. Kinda wastin space. They coulda laid the Vivid out in. 5x4 grid, but they didn't. Sux to have wasted space like that.

You can use Nova or Apex launchers and go to as much as a 7 x 7 grid.

UCCW Delay?

Hi all,
I looked through the forums and google and couldn't find an answer to my question.
My clock widget on my lockscreen has a delay in updating. It's bugging me because I see the stock time in my status bar and then my lockscreen widget time and they aren't the same. Takes about 1-10 seconds to update and when I first wake up my phone its still on the old time. Works fine with clock widgets from stock...so I can't figure out why this is happening with UCCW and Minimalist Text.
Help would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks!

Fixed it. Select force widget update in settings

I can't find that option on UCCW and I'm having the same issue, where is it?
Thanks.

resizing widget

Hoping someone can help me....
I am running ditto's latest RC2 with S5 Mod. I have also installed x2 fakejaps pullup as was posted on the ditto thread. This Mod changes the launcher to 5x6. I have also installed the 5x2 weather clock to match. The problem I am having is I usually use favourite contacts widget on one of my homescreens, but fav contacts widget is only 4x and when I drag it to homescreen it is out of line (sides of widget chopped off). I want to either change the fav contacts widget to 5x or get the 4x homescreens back but still keep the working x2 pullups.
Can anyone I ive me a guide on how I can do either of these options?
Thanks in advance
Scotty.

Zooper widget placeholders

Hey Zoops...I have a question; I created some Zooper widgets and I have a minor problem and dont know what the work around is.
The widgets I created or themed have to be resized to fit my screen, and when I resize them it makes the Borders/Placeholder bigger than the actual widget and so what happens is that once I get them on my screen I have to send some"To the back" or Bring some of them " to the front" in order to be able to use them as created ( tap actions etc). Is there a way to fix this?
I am running NOTE 4 rooted, Nova Launcher prime, Zooper Pro. I tried changing the grid size in Nova launcher but then stuff got really funky...haha..Thanks so much!!!

Have you try "Scaling" the widget inside Zooper?

Thanks for the reply, I have tried Scaling them and it does help, I think the problem lies when I used APP Dpi in Xposed and choose a "finer" DPI.... I can get it where it looks good in Zooper by scaling, but then when it actually shows on the screen I still have to "resize" and it just doesnt fit well so I get a lot of wasted screen real estate...I noticed in Nova launcher that If I select disable padding it helps with other widgets, but the long press on my zooper widgets I dont get the option. If I did I would be golden.
