I've installed PWGB v2 beta 3 and everything seems to be working great, with only one exception: the Power Control widget doesn't work. I can add it to my home screen, but it's completely blank -- the five panels are there, but there are no icons, and the widget doesn't function.
Any ideas?
I don't use that widget but just tried it and I see the same thing.

Add widget to the screen and reboot the phone. It should display correctly after that
I was having the same problem, then I did what kasmanavt said and it works now. Thanks kasmanavt!

Any info how to make the default froyo lockscreen in portrait ?pls advice
I had to buy WidgetLocker
Lock 2.0 will also force lockscreen to portrait.
Full version
Demo version
LockBot also uses portrait.
Free version
Paid version
I played a bit with LockBot free and it works better if you use something like NoLock to turn off the phone's built-in lockscreen. I'm not using a security lock.
I like LockBot better from the few minutes I tried them out.
Edit: the free version of LockBot has no ads and has three lockscreens you can choose from. It also allows unlocking form the menu button. See attached images for Lockbot free lockscreens.
To choose a theme in the free version open Lockbot from the app tray. Tap My themes. Then hit the menu key and then playlist. In the free version you can pick from the three themes pictured in the attachments. The ones you select will rotate. Select only one if you want the same lockscreen each time.
How do u get lock 2.0 to so lock screen in full mode?

That's my current setup. I changed the backgrounds for the lockscreens to pics of my 3 year old grand kids.
LockBot works with the PowerAmp lockscreen widget, except with the direct unlock setting in PowerAmp. So when I am running PowerAmp I have to unlock twice, which is how I had it setup with the stock lockscreen.
I have widgetlocker, but it irritates me how the first time I try to wake my phone up, the stock lock screen is there and the phone immediately shuts back off. I'll try nolock when I get home, thanks for the info!
Edit: Worked like a charm.

Hi,
Widget Locker is really good however the Home Screen bypasses the security. Howevr you must use the inbuilt lock for it to work. But note, if you have a widgetlocker background for example black then when you go to unlock it you will see your homescreen background which doesnt really fit in? if you know what i mean?
LockBot Pro was really good and my preferred choice however that too bypass security. Even though it has its own Inbuilt Lock. Pressing the Home gets rid of it...apparently it say's its fixed but you can still press the Home and you're in....
---
I downloaded Lock 2.0 which has a inbuilt Lock 4 Digit Pass. Which is what I want however I can't move the slider down. ?? the background pictures shows correctly but then the slider is like half way down the screen.. does anyone have a idea how this works??
Thanks
I didn't like NoLock because the volume and camera keys bring the phone back to life.
I found Screen Mode Widget Lite overcame that problem.

I noticed on the Atrix 4G that the pull down notification menu does not have the controls for WIFI, GPS etc. as on the Captivates with almost any of the Roms.
Does anyone know if there is a way to put them back? It was very convienient having them in one spot.
If I missed this or it was already addressed somewhere else or a simple setting I missed I am sorry.
Thanks all!
the Atrix dropdown is basically Vanilla android. They did not change it. So the Captivate must have a tweaked interface that the Atrix does not.
I know there are a few apps that will add this in ongoing notifications but I always felt these were a battery drain.
The Atrix has the toggle widgets on the last home screen by default.

Widgets to toggle settings like wifi, bluetooth, ect.
Yeah, I moved them to my home screen and BA-A-AM even better
atrix
Get an app from the market place called CONTROL BAR. It works with the Atrix and is excellent for turning everything on & off. Also get LAUNCHER PRO PLUS.
It is a must have and GREAT for Android and for the ATRIX. And read up on how to use it. It disables a lot of the motoblur stuff but that's OK. I have my Launcher Pro configured at 6 colums and 6 rows. You can also configure the size of widgets with Launcher Pro and the screen looks really great on the Atrix. I am going to post a screen shot on XDA shortly.
Sorry to go off topic a bit, but kind of related. Is there a way to keep the bar up top with launcher pro? I'd rather have these options tuck away in that drop down menu/bar (like the OP described) than have the widget.
I am currently using an app called quick settings which is acceptable and works fine. It is another app though. I would just assume have the pull down notification have access to the items that are on the other roms. I am dying to flash a new rom but will patiently wait for the Dev's to make it safe to do so.
I thought someone might have found a setting or something I was missing to acomplish adding the items back to the pull down.....
I run CM7 on my EVO and have grown to absolutely love the Notification Power Widget. For those who don't know this widget is a series of toggles that appear when you pull down the notification bar. Is there a way to install this mod on VEGAn-TAB 5.1.1?
One of the toggles I love is sleep which mimics pressing the power button on the device. If I can't install the Notification Power Widget I would at least like to find a widget which will duplicate the sleep functionality. I'm looking for one that will immediately put the tablet to sleep. Some apps of this type have a 5 second delay due to restrictions in Android. The sleep function built into CM7 in the Notification Power Widget however sleeps the device immediately.
Thanks.

Nice! That worked perfectly and was free. Very appreciated!
Moved to Q&A.
Hey Folks,
Note sure if this is the appropriate section to put this post, but since it's theme oriented I figured I'd put it here.
So I've been programming the Hubs nav setup on my Prime. Everything has worked out well so far except for the following:
Occasionally when I connect my tab to my dock (or unconnect), the bottom most Minimalistic Text shading widget will switch to be over top of three Simpletext widgets that are meant to open apps. Restarting the Prime or plugging in (or unplugging) the dock don't seem to fix the issue. I'll be forced to erase the MT widget and install a new one.
Locking the ADW screen doesn't seem to help either.
Does anyone else have this issue? Anyone have a work around?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Bump. Anyone else have this issue?
I have the same problem with widgets flipping over on top of each other (I have a picture/gallery widget on top of a Pure calendar widget, but about half the time it's under the calendar widget. Meh.)
Anyway, instead of using a simple text widget have you considered just using the app's shortcut icon, deleting its text, and then changing the picture to an ADW dock so it turns invisible? You know, the same way you do the shortcuts to change screens? Clicking on my minimalistic text widget that displays weather conditions takes me to my weather app.
And I'm not at my tablet right now, but there may also be an option for the minimalistic text widget itself to launch an app when clicked?
Same Issue
I've tried creating the MT widget last, tried overlapping my clock widget first over the MT box before correcting the overlap but both to no avail.
Overlap works for most screens, but the standby screen / the screen before deep sleep tends to switch the overlap order.
There are times especially after a long power off, when my MT widgets seek the topmost order of the screen. Any chance on finding out what the problem is? Thank you.
May I ask again why you're using SimpleText to launch an app instead of 3 invisible app icons? I have used this method underneath a few hubs without issue for nearly 6 months now.
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were OP. But yeah, I've never been able to find a solution to this rather annoying problem for sometime now.

This is a common issue. No idea but it may lie with MT. Contact the developer.
Otherwise I've yet to see this issue between simple text and MT. Did you disable the tap action on MT?

Hey folks,
Thanks for everyone's advice! I ended up replacing with icons in the end.
Flip: How does one disable the tap action on MT? Do you think that might be the issue?

When this happens to me (usually during the screen orientation change) I do the following:
1) Open the stock launcher (might have to reset the settings)
2) Open the recent apps bar and close ADW
3) Start ADW anew
This fixes the issue every time. However, I ended up disabling screen orientation changes in ADW using the 'Landscape' setting instead of auto rotation. The z-Level issue didn't happen to me since then.
Symptom: I have stock Sense 4.0 Weather Lock Screen setup and it works fine, for a while. Eventually it stops displaying any weather info and just shows the weather wallpaper on the lock screen.
Trouble shooting done: I tried setting using other Sense "active" lock screens and they continue to update info on them fine. This problems seems to be limited to the weather one.
Equipment & config: Stock EVO 4G lte ROM, rooted, stock recovery. Using Apex Launcher as the default launcher.
Thanks for any input!

Im guessing its because you are using nova launcher. The weather lockscreen might be more deeply woven into sense than the rest. I would use sense launcher and see if the problem remains.

I'll give it a try. (But using Apex Launcher wins over not have weather lock screen...)
Just setting the launcher default back to the Sense Launcher did not "wake up" the lock screen on it's own. So I switched the lock screen to "wallpaper" and then back to "weather". I'll see if it manages to keep working.
OK, switching back to the stock Sense Launcher did not clear up the problem.
Another possibility. I use the car dock and while I think HTC made a very pretty Car Dock Launcher, it really isn't as flexible as I need. Really, you can't even put your own shortcuts on it!
So, I installed the Google 'CarHomeGoogle.apk' (v. 2.2.1) and the 'CarHomeLauncher.apk' (v. 2.2) to make it visible.
It looks like the weather lock screen works fine, until I use the Google Car Home launcher. I will do some more testing to confirm.
If this turns out to be what is happening does anyone have recommendations for a car launcher that doesn't break the weather lock screen? One that works with ICS so that it doesn't stick the "three-dot" menu on the screen!
I'm experiencing this also. Stock rom using sense.
I had this same issue last week. It turned out that an app I had briefly installed then removed (I forget the name of the app, but it was to help prolong the charge of the battery), had turned off auto-sync (settings>Accounts & sync>Auto-sync on/off).
Hope this helps!

Sounds logical, was the case on the 3d, though i'm not experiencing it since auto sync is on. Fresh 5.1.1
OK, after more testing it is definitely the Google Car Home app that is killing the Sense 4.0 Lock Screen Weather.
I can reproduce it and it does not occur if I don't run that App. I'm not sure what about that App breaks it, but it is not the "Auto Sync" toggle. All I have to do to fix it is to set the lock to something else and back to Weather and it works fine until I run Google Car Home again.
I'm going to try out "Car Dock Home v3" from "IG88 Apps" to see if that works any better with Sense.
OK, using "Car Dock Home v3" as the Car Dock launcher exhibits the same behavior.
I thought it might be a problem with some of the Apps that I normally run while in Car Mode. So I tried just using the dock and going into and out of Car Dock Mode and it still did the same thing.
Next thing to try is to go back to the Sense 4.0 "Automotive Home" as the default Car Mode launcher and see if THAT causes the same problem.
I can't believe that you can't put your own shortcuts on the stock Car Mode Launcher. The most common thing I do is listen to podcasts, and there is no way to start my App to listen to them! How does something like that get through the design phase?
One thing I haven't mentioned before: This only happens when I actually put the phone physically in the car dock. If I just load the Car Home app everything works fine.

mine is updating, but it is showing the wrong city..... I was in Orlando last week, and am now a thousand miles away or so and it still shows orlando, I thought I changed the city to my current one, but it still shows orlando on the lockscreen any idea what to do?
Mine is doing the same thing the weather will update but not the location. I only way I have been able to update it is to restart the phone. I would like to know if there is a fix for it too.
OK, I tested using the stock Sense 4.0 "Automotive Home" Car Dock App. Using this App does not break the Weather Lock Screen. (Well, that is good news at least...)
While testing it out I found ANOTHER annoyance with this App. If I hit the "Phone" button on my Bluetooth remote it brings up the App's dialer screen, not the voice dialer App! If I am working hands free, I want to voice dial! Of course there is no setting to change this...
For as much work as HTC put into this Car Dock App it is REALLY hard to tell that they had anyone actually USE it. Maybe they will update this app for better functionality... (lolz)
