ICS scrollable call log widget - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I have used Call Log Widget Scrollable (CLWS) for a long time, and really like it, but it requires ADW or LP. I flashed Shostock2 v.3.0.5 a few days ago and I switched from LP+ to Apex, because the LP was beginning to act odd (orange flash around edge of screen). CLWS will not work with Apex, which I find to be a very, very smooth and customizable launcher. I have searched, but cannot find a >scrollable< call log widget that will run on Apex (which does support scrollable widgets - I assume as part of the ICS API). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

colorize widget updated!! scrollable widget!

Working beautifully with adw ex now,
No luck with Sweeter Home so far. But it doesn't crash anymore like it previously did. I was able to log into facebook, but it does not load any posts
EDIT: Oh well, I just tested it with ADW and it is exactly what I want for my homescreen... Too bad it does not work with Sweeter Home yet

How do I get rid of the useless phone in tnt4.4?

That's the icon on the right little bar on the home page. I also added some Widgets like picture frames but now can't get them to delete.
Switch to another launcher, like Launcher Pro. This will allow you to customize the home screen and dock with whatever icons you like. If you upgrade to the paid version you can resize the widgets as well.
With the Widgets I wish I knew how to delete them. They don't seem to call up the trashcan when you grab them.
Not too sure about that, I didn't use the stock android launcher for long enough to try that. Like I said, I recommend Launcher Pro. You can also try ADW or Zeam. Although Zeam is not longer being worked on.
x2 on Launcher Pro. The only reason why I don't add that by default is that I think it should be the user's option. Some like LP, some like ADW. So, I add a stock Goggle Launcher just you have a basic Launcher until you replace it.

CM7 with scrollable widgets?

I am trying to get away from sense for obvious reasons. I'm only missing the friendstream, news, twitter scrollable widgets. Shopping revealed Pure Messenger/News widget as a viable option. Although to be useful to me it needs to be scrollable.
-Running CM7 nightlies #130
-ADW Launcher stock with CM7
-Verizon Droid Incredible 2
-Rooted, obviously.
Pure Messenger states that ADW is supported, but scrollable widgets must be enabled and it isn't currently. I find no setting for scrollable widget enable and the documentation for this version (latest) doesn't list it. However a previous version had a setting from what I find online. Maybe the non CM7 version?
Anyone have a solution for pure messenger or alternative app? I'm certain many people running CM7 desire these widgets so there must be a solution but a search didn't reveal anything within 6 months.
Note: I was having this same issue with other phones, and other launchers [read: go launcher, launcher pro], so this should apply to everyone. Including me when I buy the Galaxy Nexus upon release.

I love colorize widgets and android pro widgets (both very similar and have a nice timeline feature with the paid versions) adw does support scrolling widgets but I'm not sure if you need the ex version for that(that's the version I have) I also don't see a setting for it but both my colorize widgets and android pro widgets scroll automatically

I gave up on the Pure Widgets and went with Colorize. Scrolling works fine and I got the paid version and it looks really nice.
I thought the Pure Widgets were the most popular which would lead to less bugs and better support but obviously not.
Now the only problem is Colorize doesn't have a RSS feed selector or news widget like sense but I think I can get around it with customizing Google RSS feeds.
Thanks for the reply.

Ok, somebody should explain the need for scrollable widgets, or indeed most widgets, to me.
You swipe homescreens to get to the one you want, e.g Calender, Twitter.. and then you scroll it to find what you want etc...
Why not just open the Twitter or Calender app instead?
This sums up my pet peave with Android really. So much bloat. So much unnecessary carp. Why do one thing well when you can do it three different ways, badly.
I'm still not sold on the idea of multiple homescreens, in fact i'm as perplexed by the notion now as i was three years ago. Android has an app drawer. It has shortcuts for every app within. Open app drawer, select shortcut, use app! Why would i need shortcuts all over my homescreen?
And while i'm busy derailing the thread with my rant, what's with the honking great clocks and weather on the homescreens? There's a clock in the status bar and the weather is right outside. Use a window!
Obviously i'm in the minority here so i'll just crawl quietly back into my minimalistic hole. Good to get it off the chest though!

[Q] ICS 4.0+ launcher w/ app drawer behaviour from Ginger

I'm wondering if there are any launchers out there for ICS 4.0.x that are basically a cross-breed between the ICS launchers (homescreen) and the stock Gingerbread launcher (app drawer).
I'm using a Galaxy S2 with ICS XXLPH by teju4u and am quite enjoying the new ICS looks, the homescreen bit of the launcher (Nova, but as far as I could find out Trebuchet and Apex are pretty much the same) is good too, but the new ICS app drawer is annoying. New apps add icons to the beginning of the drawer, you can't rearrange them, make folders, hide icons (though that's not that important for me), and there's the widget tab which I don't need.
Until now I was using a stock GB 2.3.5 (KI5) and in the app drawer I had the first page reserved for my most commonly used applications, then second was games (5-6 icons only rest of page empty, important!!) and the following pages were for all the random apps that I use occasionally (and the 'junk' folder for apps I don't use at all and can't be bothered to remove, or stuff that I launch from widgets only e.g. calendar).
I know features like this have been requested in Nova and Apex, and at least Nova is working on it now (folders, customisable tabs), but I want to know if anything out there can do it now.
Long story short, any ICS 4.0+ launchers out there with app drawers from (or behaving like) ginger?
EDIT: yes, I can just patch TW launcher back in, and I did that for now. Still, TW is not very customizable so looking for more.
im looking for this laucer too for my sgs2
its kinda annoying not having a folder in appdrawer

Need a new launcher...

Posted this on Rootz as well but I wanted to ask here.
My main wants are:
Ability to hide bottom dock and Notification bar and use gestures to bring them back. Would be nice to utilize all that wonderful screen landscape.
Use my ADW and LP icon packs if possible.
Easy to use shortcuts for moving between screens along with smooth transitions when doing so.
Long press icons to change icon image.
Hi-res display
Resizeable widgets
Keep in memory setting that works well and/or the ability to set custom wallpaper dimensions. It's a pain in the butt to have to reset my wallpapers with Wizardrii because LP got booted from memory and had ot restart.
Set non-scrolling wallpapers.
Do both Apex and Nova have all of these features? Guess I could consider ADW too. Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks in advance.
All the features that you want are there in apex dude.. Just try it out..
Icon packs I'm not very sure but definitely sure about the other features

I've used both Apex and Nova, and I guess it's just a personal preference as they at least seem to be quite similar. They're both based on the stock launcher in ICS / JB, and basically have the same features. Only differences I noticed were very specific, but feature-wise they're quite similar. You should just try them out.
I prefer Apex though, if you wondered.
