resizing widget - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

have a wonderful day
Please use the search...
Pay version of launcher pro has widgets similar to sense with the exception of the clock.
For the clock, you need the pay versions of either Beautiful Widgets of Fancy Widgets. I know for sure Fancy Widgets has skins to make the clock look identical to the sense clock. It also has screen on animations and weather animations when you open the weather.
A number of third party messenger and calendar apps also have their own widgets.

yea i was watching a video on youtube of fancy widgets but the animation when u unlock the phone does not work right and a another Q how do u put the signature (like the one u have after the line ) in here cuz i been looking around in my profile and i dont see any part for signature
Screen unlock animation worked fine for me. I think beautiful widgets has one too. Neither are as good as sense though. Worth the sacrifice for me though since I don't really like Sense.
Look under quick links at the top of the screen. One of them is edit sig.

stock accuweather widget

Is there any way to get the widget to work right with a different launcher? I'm using lancherpro and it will resize the widget but the widget will not show all the info it should.
same problem.....
Hold on, trying with ADW launcher.
Edit: it seems that it has been integrated in TouchWiz. When you manually extend it vertically in TW you'll see the next days forecast, which doesn't appear in ADW Ex launcher. So you can only have it in the original 2x1 format if you us another launcher than TW.

[Q] HTC Photo Grid widget on Synergy

So I downloaded the Photo Grid widget .apk from a post in the Synergy forum (I think) but I can't find the post now. I can see Photo Grid in Titanium Backup but I don't see it in the widget list when I try to add it to the homescreen. Anybody know how to get this working? For some reason my searches aren't finding it.
Running Synergy RC1.
Yea that's something I would like to know as well.
If you are using a home launcher like launcherpro or are it won't show up. go back to your real home screen and you can add it.
I am using the default launcher. I still can't use it.

5x5 Grid - WORKING

Hello Everyone,
This is not something that I have created, but it is in fact something that I have checked myself and it does work successfully. I am running it now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/themes-apps/4x5-touchwiz-home-t2910243
The only complaint I have is now that I have 5x5 on TW home screen, the widgets that I have on a few pages are made for 4x4 and I cannot resize it, nor center it. Anyone know of any tricks to force a resize or set a permanent resize for each widget?
And yes, I do now that some widgets have the ability to be resized, but not all, so this is one of the ones that is not resizable lol
Ideally, I'd like to see a 4x5 option so that the widgets could be centered, but we still have 5 rows. Just my 2 cents.

He has both on the link
anyone seen or know of a deodexed 5x6 or 5x7 layout to flash ?
why not just use a custom launcher like Nova? It gives all these options plus lots more.

NOVA completely changes the stock weather widget if you use the S5 weather widget and it dont let u use the calendar widget like its supposed to. This is the main and only thing i dislike about Nova.

I agree what about making a 5x6 custom launcher for stock touch wiz that will fit the stick weather widget? Is that possible

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.
