Hello folks,
yesterday I downloaded SiMiclock widget. I must admit, it is really really nice. However, sometimes when I reboot the widget won't display properly after the reboot: instead of the whole clock, just the centre vertical line is displayed, and it´s moved to the left side of the screen. When I want to delete it and I hold my finger on the place where the line should have been, the launcher triggers the ´move widget´ action. To solve this problem, I have to reinstall the whole app: replacing the widget doesn't work. Is there a solution for this weird problem? Im using Zeam Launcher.
Thanks in advance

Hello Everyone,
Does the Weather Toggle Widget work properly for anyone on the Dell Streak? I tried this on 1.6 and now again on 2.1 but it always looks messed up. The clock looks great but the weather is always compressed and cut-off on the side. I have tried different skins but always the same result. I really like this application and just want to get it working.
Check the screen capture to see what I mean.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
PS. I did send a support email to the creator as well so I hope to hear from him eventually.
[FIXED using ADW LAUNCHER (Free) in Market Place]
I was informed that ADW Launcher allows many customizations, including widget sizes. I use this as my home scren now and couldn't be happier having total control over my widgets.
Yes mine was cut off and it is cut off on Beautiful widget

What widget r u using?
I use beautiful home screen, and had a time issue when i flashed to 2.1 in that the time wouldn't change.
Sent and emial off to creator and got a reply very quickly saying to exclude it in task killer and it now works.
Only problem i have now is that the minutes section is over lapping on the right, not a big deal but still an issue.
Have to say tho the beautiful home live weather wallpaper is amazing.
Yeah i tried it too and it wouldn't line up correctly so i had to ditch it.

I'd like to discuss the relative features and benefits of the home replacement apps.
I will give my impressions here.
Launcher Pro seems to work well
Pros:
. Configirable number of rows and columns on the home screen
. Multiple "screens" of bottom bars seperate from Hoome "workspace"
Cons:
. Wallpaper sizing
. bug when resizing widgets...seems to hang...must restart
Home++ is also a good option
Pros:
. Confifurable sliding bottom panel.
. Free
? Does it have xconfigurable rows and Columns?
ADW is very popular
I don't know anything about it...please give yoyr impressions.
Sweeterhome dos not install
Zeam
Pros:
. Configurable number of rows and columns on "workspace"
. widget sizing is easy to understand
. configurable bottom bar (remove all you want)
Cons:
. Still having Wallpaper sizing issue
Edits : 12/10 : updated Launcher Pro...added Zeam
ADW is my fav so far on the nook color... I was using launcher pro at first but not being ble to remove the worthless phone button irked me...

You forgot to add that on Launcher Pro (Plus) you can have scrollable widgets (bookmark, facebook, calendar (view only) etc., and can resize widgets (doesn't work as well as on Evo).
I'm on the Zeam train as well. Nice, simple and clean. Like the Mac style bottom tray. Too bad not all widgets work with it but it's OK. I like clean screens anyway.
Another Zeam fan ... works great with no problems encountered so far .....
Zeam ftw, It's nice and simple, doesn't have anything I don't need.
Try desktop visualizer with any of the mntioned launchers...you get tons more options for homescreen editing. Multiple resizing of widgets, etc. I've used it forever on my Galaxy S Vibrant, and it works great with my Nook as well.

For all you guys using Zeam. I tried it in conjunction with SoftKeys and I have one issue. After installing and setting up and after a reboot (very important because it works initially, but not after rebooting) My return to book icon in the notification window stops working. I could fix this with a link to the "reader" on the homescreen, but can't figure out how to do that. Do you have this issue? I don't have it with Softkeys by itself, only with a launcher. I want widgets, but since I use this primarily for reading I am stuck with the Nook Launcher and Softkeys.

I have the same problem with Launcher Pro. I am unable to return to what I was reading in my Nook reader from the icon. I still use the Nook primarily as a reading device for Nook Books using the default reader.
Cannot add shortcuts
I've tried both Zeam and LauncherPro, and am experiencing a similar problem with both apps:
Adding a short-cut to the home screen doesn't work.
I hold-press on a home screen, choose "Shortcuts" from the "Add to Home Screen" dialog..
The app seems to close and restart itself (eg, wallpaper goes blank for a sec and re-appears).
Adding Widgets/etc works.. Just shortcuts are broken.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Any ideas?
What I found that works on Launcher Pro is the following:
1. Go to the screen on which you want to place the app,
2. Open the app drawer
3. Press and hold the app you want to add to the screen
4. Focus will go back to the screen and you can drag the new icon to the screen location you want.
Good luck.

I have the same issue from every home replacement I have tried, which includes ADW, LauncherPro, Home+++, and others.
It appears from the logs that there is a missing activity... Here are my best guess at the relavent log lines, but since I don't have another, working android device to compare I can't really be sure. I hope this is helpful to someone:
I/ActivityManager( 835): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.PICK_ACTIVITY (has extras) }
D/AndroidRuntime( 2663): Shutting down VM
W/dalvikvm( 2663): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001b170)

E/AndroidRuntime( 2663): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.PICK_ACTIVITY (has extras) }

You have to relaunch the B&N "Home" app, and have it running in the BG, then your resume book button will work again. But, if "Home" isn't your home, it seams that eventually it dies silently and then the button stops working again.
I use the Home Switcher app to launch Home without actually making it the default home app.
I don't believe this has anything to do with SoftKeys.
Is there any way to change the buttons on Launcherpro? Whenever I selected change shortcut on the useless phone button, it opens a blank screen and then closes.

Not that I know of. Makes me wonder why so many ppl are still using launcher pro even if those useless icons are always in the dock. Go with ADW Launcher instead.
I've seen screen shots of people with different launcherpro dock icons (on the Nook Color), so it has to work somehow. I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts.
I think it is missing an application selector, I have found it does the same thing in other palces where i would select an application.
I figured out how to remove the useless dock icons from LauncherPro!
Just make a backup of a launcher pro home screen, from another android device, without any dock icons, or with the ones you want. Copy the "/sdcard/launcherpro_backup" directory from your other device onto your Nook Color (into the same place on the SD card), and restore launcher pro from the backup.
Here is a backup of my blank launcher pro setup:
dl.dropbox.com/u/5532080/launcherprocleanbackup.zip
(I can't make links yet, so just copy/paste the URL...)
I will probably start a new thread with this info...seems like something a lot of people would like to have?
Hi all
Everytime i switch to another Launcher (Go Launcher, LauncherPro) the Homescreen Wallpaper looks bigger!?!
Has anyone with a SGS2 the same problem?
And what can i do?
The Home screen wallpaper with other launchers look like sh!t, that's one of the reason why I don't even look at them anymore. Asked the same query here and there, got NO reply
Regards.
Same happens to me, but if I switch to TWLauncher and back to the other, it will be fixed. Also, it doesn't happen on every wallpaper, only certain ones that it happens every time. Maybe it's a certain size or filetype issue that causes it?
ADW EX has been updated with more Honeycomb tweeks.
http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/2011/08/adwlauncher-ex-1-3-3-1/#more-432
The ADW icon has been changed to an app launcher! Hurray!
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher
so happy adw icon is gone
I have been playing around with it for an hour now trying to decide if I want my default home to be the new updated adw ex or stick with my setup on launcher pro.
I think I am going to keep it as the default launcher. Right now the biggest hurdle is figuring out how many columns and rows the desktop needs to be set at.
Might be switching back to adw ex
I think the new dock and less force closes will have me moving back to adw ex, not having that icon is nice too.
hey, i just got it, and i cant figure something out. I used wallpaper wizardii for wallpapers on stock launcher, but on adw now, those same pics don't seem to fill the screen. Anything else I need to do to get them to scale?
I don't know, but Gallery is working for me.
Wow, making a Tablet look pretty is waaaaay harder than a phone.
Difficult Decision
I have customization syndrome. Every time I pick up my tab I have to change the layout somehow. With the new update to adw ex I want to use it as my default launcher but it still has a ton of space that is left unused on the top, bottom and sides. But it runs so smooth.
So I am stuck, keep the space and launcher pro Widgets or have less screen to work with but have a completely smooth experience with adw ex? I also am totally in love with the adw ex app drawer with the 4d.
Finaaally
Trying it out right now
sorry
Have to disable the main dock and use secondary dock as main dock in order to have use of the full screen on the sides.
Now I just have to figure out how to get my launcher pro bookmarks widget over to adw ex and I am good to go.
new version is great.
Thanks for developing it to a useful launcher on tablets.
I couldn't think it was possible but it is again smoother than before ...... hurray
widgets like youtube and market dont work well on it
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but every time I hit the home button it reverts back to TW. I thought setting the home button binding option would fix this but it didn't. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem?
Go to Applications, Manage, All, find Launcher, then Reset Defaults, then press the Home Icon, you'll be able to pick your launcher of choice.
Thank you. Not sure how I missed that.
You can't it is built into the launcher code. I installed and purchased Wizard Widgets from the market.

Is there a trial version of ADW EX? I can't find one.

Dont think so.
BTW Is it me or is scrolling through screen unresponsive at times ?
Seems like you need a long gesture to get it to switch. A smaller "fling" results in a bounce only but stays on same screen.
Is there a setting for this ?
Looks great. Would like to have a trail.
Hello,
I am using NOVA launcher on my Galaxy S-5. I have just two home screens set in the app. I see this vertical bar with 4 sections on far right when I am on the 2nd page of the home screen. I see the same bar on left hand side of the screen when I am on the 1st page of home screen.Any ideas how can I remove this?
Thanks in advance...
Not sure that's a Nova thing... Been using Nova for a couple years and have never seen it do that with any amount of screens. I've played with about every setting under the hood and can't think of one that would do that. It's not the wallpaper or a app sidebar launcher?
Thanks for your reply!
Actually, I figured it out. As soon as I changed the wallpaper to something else from the NOVA setttings, it disappeared! So I am guessing its some kind of themed wallpaper that comes with Nova launcher which tells you when you are at first or last page of the home screen.
