AWESOME WIDGETS TO COMPLEMENT YOUR AOSP ICS/JB SETUP!
Here are a couple screenies of a few widgets I created. The last three pics are of the same widget.
homescreen -- basic homescreen widget. The last row is CPU usage|free RAM|battery temp|up-time in hours.
homescreen_messaging -- dynamic widget that will show last received message and then clear it out by going to the Messaging app. Also, the widget will send you to the Messaging app.
These three are all the same widget.
cell_service -- will show the tower currently being used, signal strength and service state.
cell_wifi_service -- if connected to wifi, will show ssid, ipaddress, speed of the connection and signal strength.
airplane_mode -- if you turn on airplane mode, it will display airplaneMODEon, in the same style as the rest of the widget. For some reason cannot upload more that 4 screenshots...
If anyone would like to use these let me know, I will post them. Also, if you have any cool widgets you've made, or anything you've done generally with Tasker or MT, please post here. I'm always open to new ways of using these tools. Thanks.
EDIT: Profiles for both Tasker and MinText added.
Link: http://db.tt/hpmVMktW
Directions:
1. Unzip archive and import Tasker profiles. Copy MinText profiles to /sdcard/MinimalisticTextPreferences.
2. Make sure Tasker profiles are enabled.
3. Create the Minimalistic Text widgets and click on restore at the bottom of all the options. (I will also go into global settings and disable visual feedback on press. Makes it look nicer IMO.)
4. Profit!
If you have any questions, ask here. I'll help, or at least try

I have been doing alot of research and looking at alot of peoples screen shots of there home screens and I have noticed alot of people putting in alot of work and making there device stand out and look really good. My question is how do you make icons with just font for instance instead of having the gmail icon I would like to have a mirrors font that says gmail and so on. Or if I wanted to go another route doing different icons. Im currently running launcher pro plus. On my rooted attix and would like a easy solution for this any help will be appreciated

Lol, he needs a little more direction than that...
There is an app in the market called "Desktop Visualizer", download it. It will allows you to create widgets on your home screen that are completely adjustable (you pick the image, the application it pulls up, and the name below it). If you want to use text icons I suggest you download some packs which can be found on:
www.deviantart.com
www.iconfinder.com
OR
You can head over to my theme thread to replicate my themes in order to gain some experience.

Hi guys
Question: Does anyone know of an app, that can also give us Android users the kind of functionality on the Iphone 5 pull down? (See Screenshot)
I would like to see my mails listed, maybe the first 2 or so, with sms, weather etc?
I have looked, maybe this is a nice dev opp?
There are apps you use to get like this, but one single app, i think we still dont have...

yeah, sorry. I saw that. Perhaps should have mentioned it.
I'm on stock 2.3.4. and it said it wouldn't work.
so thanks for re-using the search function for me.
Don't get me wrong but the notification/widget implementation on iOS is not pretty efficient in my opinion.
I'd hate to be constantly pulling down just so see what's up with the weather or whatever.
I rather have my widgets on the unlock screen or desktop as Android does.
Cheers!

Does anybody have an APK for the HTC WiFi toggle that actually toggles it on and off (DINC, DINC2, TB), rather than taking you to the WiFi settings page?
I've been wondering the same thing...
Power Control widget?
Not tbe whole power confrol widget. Just the single wifi toggle widget
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I just use a single widget to do it. It actually can do both depending on where you hit it. If you hit it center, it toggles, if you hit it near the bottom of it, it takes you to WiFi Setup.
WiFi OnOff by Curvefish
I've been wondering why the WiFi widget takes you to the settings. Seems like a shortcut instead of a widget.

I use MySettingsPro.
I bring it up with a long press of the hard search button.
MSP has a one click WiFi on/off setting & a bunch of other stuff.
Beautiful Widgets has a wifi toggle widget.

Thanks for the replies. I am really looking for the stock HTC / Sense WiFi toggle widget that is in the DINC / DINC2 / TB

different version of sense, might not work on the rezound. I know people had to patch the flashlight apk to get it working.

Yeah, I have that installed. Dumb of HTC to exclude it.
Even dumber to make the WiFi toggle the same as the WiFi shortcut. UGH!
I'd still be willing to give it a try.
Hey, this is really just a minor annoyance, but does anyone know if it's possible to remove the "tap the + above to customize home screen" message from additional empty home screens? This might not be an issue specific to the Optimus G but it's the first time I've noticed it... and if it is possible, could someone instruct me? Thank you.
P.S. I already did some searching around... I tried adding icons to the screens and then deleting them, but the message reappears.
Also, I tried deleting the screens altogether and making new ones... no luck.
You could use a different launcher
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, that's an idea, thank you. Usually I hate stock launchers... but actually I don't think there's a third-party one that can compete with LG's stock on this phone in terms of aesthetics... I'm familiar with apex, nova, holo and the like... on older phones they can be a great improvement, but on the e970 they all seem like taking a step backward tbh.
Anyway to get rid of that text while staying with lghome?
You can try to find a completely transparent widget and add it to the home screen. But other than editing the lghome apk, there is no way to do it thought the included features of the launcher.
EDIT: Tested it out for you:
download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.acw&feature=search_result
Change all the colors to 0 alpha
Disable all text areas
click save and you can't even tell its there.
Try using apex launcher, it is extremely fast and customizable. I'm using the monochrome icons with Xperia wallpaper.

How did you get the clock in the center? Are you running The Base?
That's correct. I also like the scroll and animation speed settings you get with nova launcher it has to be as fast or faster then the stock launcher.

That was nice of you, thanks. I'll try it with the widget, but actually you hit the nail on the head... I think what I'm really looking to do would be editing the ui somehow - I have previously taken the lghome apk and extracted it to look around... but I'm thinking it may be beyond me to do what I want. I have a feeling it's going to involve editing the xml files somehow, but I'm not sure... any ideas on where to start looking?
EDIT - Okay, added attachment just for clarity. There's really nothing on the web about this particular subject that I've been able to find. Maybe no one cares/all use third party launchers. If I knew where to look or what files I needed to edit, I could probably muddle through with a combination of common sense and web tuts unless this situation is going to require something like smali editing or whathaveyou, in which case I'd have an easier time trying to get my Beagle to give me the answers to the meaning of life and world peace.
Is there any way to make a selective widget, like the DuckDuckGo widget, persistent in the place of the Google search widget? I ask this because the Google search widget that is persistent doesn't take up a complete grid like it would if I was to add the DuckDuckGo widget to every page at the top.
Adding the DuckDuckGo widget drops everything down much further, even with another grid space added on Nova, than just having the persistent widget does.
I saw with Lightning Laughed you could "pin" a widget in place and it is almost like using a persistent widget, in that it stays in the same place as you scroll through homescreens, but its still very very different. I have also seen Overlays but that is completely different as well.
So is there any way to modify Nova, and of the other launchers, or a ROM to use the DuckDuckGo widget as persistent instead of the Google search bar?

I've been researching for the past couple of days and the closest thing I have been able to find is Lightning Launcher. Sadly that isn't even close to what I'm wanting. I'm going to keep looking and see if I ever run across something, which looks doubtful at this point...

Apparently SS Launcher allows pinning as well, I am currently emailing the Dev and discussing persistent widgets but I don't have much hope because he doesn't seem to know what I am talking about or the differences.
I am going to start looking for a way to edit it but I'm not very hopeful I'll find a solution.

Not at all, the ssLauncher Dev has no idea what I a, talking about, he doesn't speak English as his first language so its extremely hard for me to explain things to him. I eventually gave up.
I've heard that the Dev responsible for Action Launcher adds just about anything his users ask for so I am going to email him later today and see if he can and would add that. Ive been trying to figure this out for quite a while and no one knows anything about it and the few that do, I've found 2 people who supposedly know, don't want to explain what edits need to be made.
I'll post back when I get dome talking with the Dev over Action Launcher!

Nice. Action launcher is beast. I don't always use it but it's one sick launcher

why don't you use a launcher that allow for widget overlapping so you don't have to worry about grid size?
