I found this out by mistake. If your 3 screens are full and you drag a widget on to it you can create another screen for that widget and then delete the widget and the screen will stay. I don't Know if it will be there after reboot though.

Do a pinch on one of the pages of your homescreen and you'll get an overview of your homescreen pages and a plus, push the plus and you'll add one page.

Hi. I wonder if any of you can set the page of the app drawer vertically or horizontally? I've been searching and looking but had no clue at all.

Launcher Pro has never done this. I used to swear by Launcher Pro until I tried Go Launcher for a few days, and now I can't go back. I personally prefer a vertical app drawer, but Go Launcher does have the option of either vertical or horizontal.
Launcher Pro's HUGE lack of updates over the last 4-5 months is very off putting! I like Go Launcher, but it's still a little too buggy.
I cant find option to change home screen and app drawer to landscape mode in Go launcher.Can someone plzz guide?

Switched to go recently too. Its amazing. It used to be trash but after a month or two I decided to give it another go and its amazing now. I just hate those ugly tabs in the app drawer, I really don't care to have a task manager and app history in my app drawer.

Now I'm like using ADW Launcher LOL!
I keep seeing people mention the app drawer in ICS. What is this?
Is it just where the apps are stored when you hit the central button at the bottom of the home screen?
yep that's right. coming from iphone I assume?

Come from Sense lol..
I've seen on some launchers, that if you swipe up from the bottom, theres a little "drawer" which contains a few favourited apps. Then you have your main application bit.
Hence why I thought the application drawer might be something different. Never had a pure Android rom before

Android 2.0 and older had an actual drawer that slid out, upward from the bottom of the screen. Name just stuck around.

Ah, that'll be what i'm thinking of!
I actually prefer the old draw-out drawer. Still hoping a custom launcher will implement it but no one appears to share my enthusiasm for it.

I believe the last phone with pure Android and an actual "app drawer" was the original Verizon Droid. Take a look at this video at 1:15 you see why many still refer to the "all apps" tray as the apps drawer.

Edit: to slow searching for a video of the droid...
Does anyone know what is the name of the process of App Drawer? I want to create widget with Minimalistic and don't know which activity to assign to it.

Widgetsoid2 widgets - very configurable, use background from your gallery for contacts.
Gasks - nice scrollable one for agenda and tasks.
N7 Player
Any Go Launcher shortcut - replace with any png image.
Excellent, thanks!
Does anyone know if there is a Whatsapp widget for counting unread messages?

I use HD Widgets for time and weather. I have the paid version. Not sure what the free one is like.

I use GO Launcher and GO Notifications for unread count. You have to search for the Go Notifications apk since the Play store says not compatible. I can confirm it works with Gmail and K9.

I'm kind of partial to the widgets below:
Weathereye (having issues at the moment): http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citc.weather&feature=nav_result#
Minimalistic Text: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&feature=search_result#
Flipboard: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flipboard.app&feature=search_result#
Power toggles: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&feature=search_result#
Simple Calendar: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anod.calendar&feature=search_result#
If you want to see what it looks like check the post your home screen thread here.
UCCW - most customizable clock/weather/whatever widget available, check XDA main Themes forum for UCCW thread with 100s of themes
Minimal Reader - for news
Jorte - for Calendar
I use AOKP so no need for power toggles since they are in the dropdown...
Beautiful widgets has a nice selection of weather widgets.
You talkin' to me? GO notify is part of the GO app. If you hit settings and scroll to the right, you'll see notifications (after you installed the apk), click it and lets you set notifications for various things. It's not an app or widget, but does show up in system apps list.

If only they would fix the dynamic sizing option in their 4x1 weather. Using it at the moment until weathereye gets sorted. /rant
Another vote for power toggles here. Works well with the default theme (appearance wise)

I'm using this for a week now but i still can't figure it how to remove that black transparent background.

Seen this on android central feed, I like it a lot but my only gripe is the fact that the stock LS collapses it. I would love if it can stay "open" all the time instead of having to swipe down to see missed calls or texts. And the damn settings button always shows as well.

Works very well, i like it.
May be more options will be included in the next upgrades.
i'm using it as well, you should try battery ext from play store.

Good question.

It uses Yahoo Weather, as stated, and apart from adding the extension it should just pick up your location. I didn't have to manually add it. Whether it is done by GPS or Mobile Network location, it just seemed to take for me.

This used to happen to me . Then i disabled the option to use home screen widgets in lock screen from my custom rom menu.
But now there is a new version from this app, that allows your homescreen widget to have full transparent background.
Yes i just updated recently, now how can i resize the overall icons and texts? They're so big... and i have to slide down to see the rest of the notifications.

I wish there was support for Whatsapp too.

I hate having to manually expand the widget when it's set to default.

There is one. Search for dashclock extensions on the play store.
I love the widget. Its fantastic. The only issue I've had is refresh time. I don't know if its there app or what, but I had a missed call yesterday morning. Even though I cleared the notification and even called them back it never went away from the widget. Hope he fixes it soon

Did you have a solution for this issue ? My LockScreen also take 2/3 from the Screen, so i cant see the full DashClock
Unless you have some sort of Lockscreen control built into the ROM, and enabled maximize lockscreen widgets or however it's worded, then there doesn't seem to be a way to force it to max size. Unless someone has found another method, which I am eagerly looking for.
I'm loving this, but the weather doesnt seem to show for me. Even tried defining a location in the default clock to see if it was connnected.
looks nice...

Hey gang,
I can't find the shortcut to launch the LG Health app. It's NOWHERE to be found on my phone! I know the app is installed as I can access it via the 'G' screen on the left of the home screens. I don't have any apps hidden in the app drawer either.
Can any of you guys see it in your app drawer?
You have use the LG extra page, whatever the name, to see it. You can't start the app itself it seems.

How rubbish! I won't be using that then.
Thanks
Yeah you can only use the widget at the home screen.
Is there some smart app to create your own shortcut maybe? A lot of LG stuff goes out the window if you start using another launcher.

I've just done that very thing!
I'm using Nova and I've made an shortcut to a Nova 'Activity' which exposes everything the phone can do pretty much.
If you're not using Nova there are apps in the store that will do the same. Smart Shortcuts is one.

Interesting.... Have you found one that gives you access to the Widget 'Smart Notice'?
That is the one widget I would like to use with Nova.
It's also a shame Nova does not give you access to LG Health by means of a separate home screen. Yes you can do as you say, make a shortcut Activity to LG Health but an icon is not the same as swiping to its own widget style home screen!
