Can someone check for me if they still have the photo frame widget after the touchwiz update. I really like the one that came with the Tab, and after touchwiz it seems to have disappeared. I tried a few different ones in the market but none of them worked really well. I am not rooted if that matters.. Thanks...

Is there anyone with the touchwiz update that will be able to check this for me. I just need someone to go into their widgets and see if the Photo frame widget is in there. If it is I will do a factory reset I guess to get mine back. Before I do that I would really like to confirm if it just happened to me or with everyone.
Thanks for your help...
There is a photo widget that's now named "Gallery". It has a lot more size options if I remember correctly than the original Android photo widget.

1. You can use AppZorter from the market to do this.
2. If you're talking about choosing edit and then pressing the little minus sign then you should know that this actually uninstalls the application. A powerful but dangerous little shortcut at times

Just another clue for you:
Check Nemus Launcher app from the Market.
It is free and "replaces" the TouchWiz launcher with some nice features. It has an awesome folder structure for your homescreens.
I certainly will.... I wasn't going to get a galaxy I was all set on the sensation xe, I did miss sense initially but starting to really like the samsung, it's really growing on me
The first day with a new phone is always an interesting one, my boss HATES it though lol ( not the phone, but that i'm completely distracted lol )

Hello
I've been having trouble with setting a wallpaper from the day I bought this phone. I've now tried 4 different roms over the past couple of weeks, those being AOSP, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid and Sammy Stock, none of these allow me to set an image as a wallpaper without cropping it, even if I choose pictures that have been resized in Photoshop to 720x1280. This is quite frankly getting very frustrating, to the point where it almost makes me want to buy an iPhone (yeah, forgive the blasphemy). One of my main reasons for buying the S3 was it's gorgeous screen.
Is anyone else having the same issue? It doesn't matter if I use ES File Explorer, Gallery, the Album app from Xperia, the phone always forces me to crop. I've searched a couple of threads for answers, and tried taking a screenshot of the wallpaper I want, but still I need to crop it.
best regards, Tim
My standard answer to this question is to use Image2Wallpaper from Google Play .Or and PicSpeed Wallpapers .
jje
This one works for me without cropping in TW
All background with this resolution should work with no issue...
Thank you both for replying, I will check out those apps mentioned
I've included a screenshot of the wallpaper that was attached to your post, here's how it looks on my S3, currently running Paranoid 4.1.1.
De-crop yourself!
Put your finger on one of the blue point and move it. You should be able to select the full picture...
You mean making the selection rectangle as small as possible or the other way around?
Cause it's stretched out to it's limits in that screenshot
You should be able to make the selection rectangle bigger (at least I can on stock rom...)
Maybe something with the rom you use or with the gallery app included in this rom...
This also happens on my stock rom, and every other rom I've used so far =/
Thanks for trying anyway

This same thing happens to me every picture I choose, no matter what size or shape! And when I try to adjust the cropping, proportionally the shape stays the same, It just always cuts some of the pic out. Is there a way to take a photo , image etc. and place it somewhere so that it shows with the rest of the stock wallpapers instead of picking from the gallery??
Btw: I'm on Clean Rom 2.1 w/ Clean Kernel

is it just me, or has everyone else lost the ability to have the google Now widget on one of their screens?
It was working fine but now it's gone.
I tried to add it back and the widget it 4x4 and wont fit
I swear there used to be a 2x2 version but it's missing now.
what happened?

I simply resized my widget. I'm currently at 2 X 3. Using Apex shell, if that matters.

Hmmm
Well, I created a new home screen and was able to get the widget onto it, and then was able to resize it as you mentioned.
I dunno why it changed on me, but thanks to you I got it working.
Thanks
Clearly the issue was a problem between the screen and the chair.
I wish they would have let us have the widget at the top of the screen on all the home screens like you can in normal ICS/JB. I use it a lot.
Hey guys,
I'm trying to remember the name of an app which is a scrolling dock widget. Similarly to Launch-X... But I'm pretty sure it is not Launch-X that I'm thinking of.
Can anyone please recommend some apps like this?
Looking forward to hearing back.
I don't know an app that has only scrolling dock,it's a launcher that have scrolling dock. Holo launcher. I use it,and works pretty good.
Hey thanks for the reply. Maybe "scrolling dock" wasn't the best way to describe the widget. It is pretty much just a grid of selected apps, and you can scroll through them. Kinda like a folder, but you don't have to open the folder, it is always open... Showing apps on the home screen.

I am looking for a widget that does that too. I stumbled upon scrollcut which was described as such but it seemed to be an abandoned app. No updates and not working very well. I am still searching...
Hey sphinx1023,
Thanks for the reply.
Launch-X is a pretty good app. Seems to be unsupported these days as well (hasn't been updated in a while).
I haven't been able to recall the name of the app I was using originally, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Scrollcut or Launch-X.
I'll keep you posted if it comes to me.
Thanks again.
--------EDIT----------
The app I have been thinking about might have been Folder Organizer.
I'll check it out when I get home.
I think I found it!

Awesome, thanks for sharing that sphinx1023.
Looks pretty good.
Guys I migrated to the lg from the galaxy s3. I love my LG but there are 2 things I miss from my s3 namely the gallery widget ( I loved the way i was able to put up a picture frame and it would cycle through my pictures. and also i love the built in alarm clock from the s3).
I pulled the apks from a rom from my s3 and tried installing them to my g3 but didnt have much sucess. I tried copying them to the system folder and giving it permissions like the other apps in the system folder and then restarting but still it would crash those apps.
Can anyone help me getting them to work with our g3.
i am attaching a link to the gallery app as its too large to upload here.

Anybody? hints or pointers are just as welcome.
Not a clue man. What's it do if you try and just install it.
Its FCs.

It probably depends on some stuff from touch wiz to run. I don't know much about it but it seems like a ton of work to get it going. Try uccw and look for a s3 skin for it.
THought it might be that but was hoping it was an easier fix. anyway any recommendations on a good alarm clock app and a good gallery widget?
Pretty much all the Samsung Widgets need Touchwiz to work. At one point I disabledTW on my S3 and most of the widgets didn't work any more.
But searching on Photo Album Widget in the play store finds a ton of apps that might do what you want:
