Hello all,
On my GS2 I was able to resize widgets by press-hold then shrink. I hate the 4x2 size of clock/weather widget and like to use a 1x2 instead. Just wondering if that was lost or I am missing something real easy. If not possible I have seen a few widgets for free on Play store that have different size weather and clock widgets.
Thanks,
Brad
Apex launcher allows you to resize. I believe you need root access for that feature though.

Is it possible to do this? ADW for example does not resize them properly.
Launcherpro can resize. Paid version only though afaik

ADW (and ADW EX) can resize widgets too, but appear to just be capable of stretching widgets rather than resizing them using the widget's internal resizing capabilities.
For example: by default, the Accuweather.com widget is a 2x1 widget that you can resize in TouchWiz (e.g. to a 4x1 widget). Resizing the widget modifies the content that is displayed e.g. when you resize it from 2x1 to 4x1, it adds high/low temperature and a summary of the current conditions.
When you add the Accuweather.com widget in ADW, you get a pop-up asking what the dimensions of the widget are. If you choose 4x1, it simply stretches the 2x1 widget out.
Does Launcher Pro work the same as ADW in this regard? I've added screenshots so you can see what I mean.
No idea I dont use it. Stock touchwiz atm

Hey there. This is my first post on the forums.
I have the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and I have this sweet live wallpaper. I use it on the tablet. But my lockscreen does not change. Haven't found a way to do it.
Now I use go launcher on my tablet. I used to use adw launcher but I'm not sure if either of those launchers have an option to help me with my problem.

Stock lockscreen don't handle livewallpaper's, you have to use another lockscreen app! I use widgetlocker but i think the go locker (free) can handle livewallpaper and it integrates with go launcher.
Haha your right. Widgetlocker is the solution any particular way to hide the app so that when i use the Samsung task manager to kill off other apps it doesnt close widget locker?

I'd like to change GOSms icon with the stock SMS app icon to put it on dock and replace the stock SMS app, how can I change an app icon with touchwitz? I'd change it because GOSms icon is smaller than other icons in the dock and it's very ugly
Desktop visualizer :good:
Thanks my friend! Very useful!
I know its not a direct answer to your question but you could try another launcher. Apex Launcher allows full control over icons and titles for every item on your home screens.
Forgive me for crashing the thread, but I also need some help changing icons. I want to change the dock icons (on stock Rom) and I am using apex launcher pro. On my HTC Sensation and apex launcher, all I need to do is long press the icon and I then have the option to change it, but when I long press on sgs, the only option I get is to remove app. I am sure it must be simple, can someone help me out. Thanks.
I feel a bit stupid now. After uninstalling all third party launchers and re-installing them, I now have all the correct options to edit the dock icons.

is there any way to change the stock icon in the touchwiz lock screen? I can use desktop visualizer to create the shortcut with new icon on the dock, but touchwiz lock screen icons I cannot change to customize.

This is going to seem like a weird one, but I can't find the stock widget that's used for clock and weather when I use Nova launcher. Anyone have the file or know where to find it? Thanks.

I have two clock widgets when I look at adding a widget to nova, I don't know if one of mine was added by an app or if they are both default nova. If you can tell me where to pull a file from I'd be happy to help. Otherwise I'm not totally sure what you can do. I am still fairly new to this launcher.
Good luck, let me know what I can do to help.
I had the same problem... Ended up just getting Timely and using their widget

This is an ever-returning problem for all 3rd party Launchers. TouchWiz, Sense and whatever LG is calling their UI all have widgets that are only compatible with their respective launchers. Install all you want, they still wont show up outside of the stock LG Launcher. You can usually find some that look much the same and some times a genious comes along and ports the widgets. You could try heading over to the G2 forums, I suspect there's more life over there, maybe their "Themes and Apps" forum has a ported edition. Who knows.

I did the same thing - use the Timely widget. With Nova I could overlap it with the Yahoo weather widget so that they look like one thing.
My other virtually-the-same-thing clock widget choice is Chronus

I recently tried out "beautiful widgets" which allows clock and weather widgets and I really like it.
As the title says, has anyone found a way to use the Stock 4x1 Weather widget using Nova launcher? Every other widget is available on Nova except 4x1 Weather. The only other option is 4x2 which isn't the same widget.

Don't think you can use the TW weather on Nova. I'm pretty sure its a TW only widget

Care to share settings
Have xwidget installed then use this. I think this file goes in the xwidget folder

If you already own Zooper Widget Pro you can buy at a very low price the S6 weather widget.
It looks 1:1 to the original one!
