Hi all,
I just would like to ask someone to spare literally 2 seconds of their time and drop the market/youtube widget onto their homescreen (the widget thats like layered and staggered) and once its on your home screen, flick the home screen to the next screen along (either direction) but do it VERY SLOWLY.
Now, out of curiosity, do little dots or lines appear on the widget?
Thanks

(Watch it in atleast 720p to properly see it)
If anyone can doublecheck against theirs thatd be great
You need more confirmation?
try another launcher.
I no longer have the tab at hand and won't do until after christmas.
Can no one else look at the video I made and tell me if they get anything similar?
No one? Really?
Well, I noticed them. However they are faint and appear only when scrolling rrreallly slow... So, what? Do you have any info that this means faulty H/W? I think that it is launcher related.
Edit: Used adw and the problem is gone. Plus the widget looks better.

You get them too?
I don't think it means faulty hardware, that's why I was trying to confirm if anyone else had it.
But it seems its launcher related! Thanks!
Anyone else got any input?

Hey guys. I'm running Aloysius V12 and have been using Beautiful Widgets. Love the look and it's fairly reliable as far as the time/date/weather go, but whenever I plug my phone into the computer, the style reverts to stock. I am very particular about the way it looks, because the way I have it now looks quite good with my wallpaper, but when it reverts, it doesn't match up well. Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things since I just have to restart the widget, but curious to see if anyone knows why the USB plug-in would make any difference. I have had this issue on BW 2.998 and 2.999. As a side note, does anyone know how to change the date font? Changing the clock font has no bearing on it, and neither do weather skins. Thanks in advance.

Beautiful widgets says, in its own documentation, that it doesn't work with SenseUI.
This is partially true. It works, sometimes, and for a while. my buddy has a small widget on his home screen that he has no troubles with, but I've used the brightness widget, a home screen one, and others.
I've had Sense randomly force close on me (MANY MANY times), when tapping the widget (or sometimes for seemingly no reason at all - presumably when the widget updates), and so on and so forth.
They 'Work', but they aren't reliable, that I've seen. I haven't used them since like 2.7 or so.
That's odd that the font changes when plugging it in.
I've been to their site a couple of times, but guess I didn't run across that. I asked this same question on android forums and the response had to deal with BW skins are saved on the sd card and once it is plugged in, then it doesn't have access to them anymore. I'm not sure if this is the exact reason, but makes as much sense as anything else I've thought of. Too bad it's not more reliable because the only competition that I have seen is Weather Widget donate. I don't have anything particularly against that one, but just can't customize it get the look I am going for...
Anyone know if Launcher Pro will look good at a higher resolution like the Atrix has? I tried LP on my Galaxy Tab and it did not look so good due to the high resolution.

I looks great. I changed it to 5 rows, instead of 4 stock, and you can fit more on each screen than a captivate. It's crazy fast too, and the transitions look great.
i just paid for the PRO version because i really liked the free version. Where do you go in and change how many rows and such? There isnt a Launcher Pro app in the menu.

You can change most launcher settings by pusing the menu button the homescreen and choosing "preferences" or something similar. There is also a shortcut there to the Android Settings menu, so don't be surprised if you click that one first.

I notice some of this as well. Nothing that gets me worked up, as this probably hasnt been optimized for dual core phones, but i definitely notice some lag.

Mine's working fine. Only problem is that on the "People" widget, contact icons dont show up. Well, only the contacts with a gmail pic show, but the ones synced with Facebook dont. Anyone else care to confirm this?
Thanks

I have had this happen on other phones. I just left the Samsung Epic 4g to get the Atrix and my Epic did the same thing. I waited a few hours (next day) and updated the "people" widget and they all appeared. Let me know if this helps.
Got a thread going in General about reboots. Launcher Pro may (or may not) be the cause.
For anyone installing, post back if the phone reboots at some point (within 24 hours) after installing Launcher Pro.

My launcher pro looks great. I configured 6 columns and 5 rows. I'll post a screenshot later. Love this phone.

Same here, and using Folder Org for grouping apps together, along with the "show apps" as the icon, looks very slick and excellent details on the tiny icons.
Been running the paid launcher pro for more than 24 hours now and customized it to death. Im currently running it with beautiful widgets and live wallpaper, no problems encountered
Its not causing reboots for me, but it is laggy.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Had LP Paid edition for 24 hours now and also on BW and there has not been anything bad about it so far. I dont feel the laggy as much more like its smooth now. The one thing I dont like about all this is the icons are so much smaller and so is the text for some widgets since resolution is so high.
I tried to put the option for stretch icon to fit in column and width but that didn't really do anything.
Other than that LP on this is pretty nice..... so far so good.

i cannot get the pictures to sync.
Anyone with the Calibri font think they can whip up some quick dock icons for the Atrix?
Preferably like the ones from Dreamlyfe Mini set?
Bare in mind I'm using ADW, but I have noticed that Live Wallpapers make my phone feel like a brick. The second I put a static one in there my phone went into rocket mode.
Anyone having a problem setting the default Launcher? I installed Launcher Pro and it becomes the default, but I can't go in and change it back to Blur as the default with uninstalling it. HomeSwitcher or HomeSmack are not working.

Hey guys, I've done some modding on my prime to bump up the UI visuals a little
I think it really suits the clean look!
You can see it in action here in the first half of this video!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBTqYvJVHCA
How is this the clean look? Lol you got icons all over the place top n bottom of screen filled up. Looks cool but too much like a win mo clone. I'm not a fan of big lettering detailing what screen you on or whatever. This just looks like different launcher or something as I've seen others in the "Post your homescreens" thread in themes n app section just like yours. Why so many icons in top and bottom bar at once?
I like it.
Points taken

Lol yea, I guess you have to ignore those icons at the very top, they're from adw launcher and I can't seem to shake them well MAYBE clean isn't the right word, but everyone that I show it to LOVES it!
PS the shots with more than one picture are transition screens (kind of like switching cards)

Overall it looks good. A different look for sure. So you put this together yourself taking pieces out of adw launcher? Or is this just the launcher itself with one of the many different themes it has?

How does mulitilive behave on your prime? I looked at it in marketplace and its getting slammed because it doesn't support ICS yet. Alot of users with ICS experiencing issues with it. Ill try it out once it updates to truly support ICS. Does it drain the battery from constantly switching backgrounds or can you make them static and just have one pic for each homeacreen?

I just watched it after seeing this post. Gave it a thumbs up. Dang, that does look really cool theway you set it up. Moves very fast also. I have adw ex launcher also. Got it a while back on the 10 cent app sale. Haven't really used it on my prime yet. I might try setting something up with it now after seeing that video.
Are scrollable widgets already working with adw.ex on ICS? Ditched it because of lack of scrollable widgets (but see it hasn't been updated since december 7th so guess not).

That's a good point it's hit and miss. Colorize widgets DO scroll but Gmail does not. So i have no idea why that is. Hopefully a fix comes soon.

Cheers for the response. Mail, agenda, bookmarks and those kinds of things weren't working for me and appearantly I am a fan of scrollable widgets hehe. Guess I'll stay away from it for now.
Must say I'm pretty satisfied with the stock launcher atm as well though!
This is a seriously biased video. Just look at the pinch-zoom part of the video (around 2 minute mark) and you'll see that Android lags in full screen animations. Sure the framerate does not drop, but responsiveness to user input is lagging as opposed to iPad 2.
I love my Android devices, but that video is just badly biased.

Looks good! I did a similar thing with my Nook Color, looks cool and works great. I used Minimalist Text instead of Simpletext.
I guess I have to try it on my TP now!
Ok so initially just looking at the screen grabs my initial reaction was meh. After watching the video I actually quite like it. I don't know if its my cup of tea just to have an entire pane exclusively for facebook feeds or the weather, but the interface works and it looks really good. Get rid of the icons at the top and it would be beautiful. Overall, good job, thumbs up.
Nice and clean! I like it. I could not multilive wallpaper in the market. I could see multipicture live wallpaper. Is that the same?

Hi.
I tested 2 Calendar Widgets but the Problem is the same on both. So I think its a general Problem.
I place my Widget. Configure it.
Works fine. After a few hours I look at my Phone and see that its not up to date. So I try to click on it. Nothing. If i replace it, nothing changes. Really really strange.
EDIT: And when I turn my Phone off and on, the Widget isnt there anymore. What the hell is wrong there? Other Widgets working great.
Could someone help? Or have a better Idea to show me my Calendar on the Homescreen?
EDIT2: Nobody else have this problem? Tested another Widget. The same problem.
I have this issue only with beautiful widgets. I didn't care to add them one more time. I posted a bug with them, not sure if they will look.

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.
