Apps
Media
Music
Games
Figured it out with Destop visualizer and apps organizer nm..
Care to share how you linked to the screens ?
Cheers
far as I know it can only be done with ADW right? Using launcher shortcuts. Been trying to figure out how to do that with launcher pro but don't have a solution for it.

Look at step four on the link below to see how to link to specific screens in LauncherPro.

Hmm - the link is still working for me. Just to confirm, you went to the URL below (without the spaces, obviously):

LauncherPro only lets you use icons? I think that the sizes LP use are supposed to be:
48x48
72x72
84x84
So in my case I wouldnt be able to use LauncherPro, I'm after using images the size of 355 x 132 to link to a particular screen on my Galaxy Tab 10.1...

I thought there would have been a detailed tutorial around but there don't seem to be any specific to a tablet.. just lots of little bits here there and everywhere
Ahh , I should have been more specific when I said I figured it out lol..I figured out how to direct my custum icons to open groups of apps via folder organizer..which im sure i very basic stuff lol..I still dont know how to link them to screens.

Wasn't working before but worked now! awesome. Now if I can figure out how to make it work with minimalistic text... I'd be able to make anything!
Right now, I can create the shortcut but can't get minimalistic text to reference the shortcut.

Oh and there's me thinking you found a way to link to screens lol
Nevermind, suppose we'll have to keep searching..
Yeah. Now that I know how ot make icons that go to specific screens, need to knowhow to make it so I can either make the transparent, or link a minimalistic text to it.
You would need to use ADW Launcher Ex. Install it, then hold on the screen to pop the widget addon, click Launcher Addons, then Select Screen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
This will create a shortcut to the specified screen. To make it transparent, select and hold the icon, select edit, click on the icon image, select picture, adw docks catalog, You can select any image and the shortcut will now be transparent. You can create a widget though minimal text, and then resize it to go over the now transparent screen shortcut.
I had issues with adw. It wouldn't allow me to use minimalistic text or the bob clock. Also. I wanted to use launcher pro for its Widgets.

META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!

Really? What app(s) function the same?
He's talking out of his arse. Poor brain function.
There are no apps like this.
Also, if you feel that $2 is a lot of money you should probably not have a $500 phone. In the list he goes.

@ftgg99 I love your Meta Widget app!
Recently I tried experimenting with 200DPI on AOKP ROM and the widget works fine. To take better advantage of 200DPI, I started using 5x5 grid on Apex Launcher instead of 4x4.
I used to have 2 comic strip Meta Widgets on one homescreen, each 2x4. To give an idea, the homescreen will be split into 2 vertical blocks, each containing 1 comic strip.
Now that I have 5 columns, I can't make that equal split of comics.
Can a feature be added to Meta Widget so that I can instantiate as a huge 5x5 widget with it split equally vertically? .. with each vertical section containing contents from a URL (a comic strip for my case)?
Or is the Widget Maker app of yours be able to do the same?
UPDATE: This is how I had set it up on 240DPI 4x4 grid homescreen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26669391&postcount=157
Any way to create such equal split widgets on a 5x5 grid?
Thanks!

Why look what we have here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.widgets
Widget Maker helps you make panels of widgets to maximise the available space
Just a little something we came up with for ****s and goggles.

@ftgg9
I had one feature request which I believe that the current versions of Meta Widget and Widget Maker don't support.
The vertical partitioning of the screen works fine most of the time for 2 comics, because usually the comics are in form of 4x1 panels. But sometimes, the comics are more rectangular or squarish in shape (about 4x2 panels). So when such comic appear, it is shrunk down to fit in that vertical space and so is unreadable.
So the feature request is: Can one more action be added to the list of on-click actions so that that widget temporarily takes up the full screen estate like a popup? Upon hitting the back button or for that matter anywhere on the screen, the popup can close. Please let me know if that feature is possible and if it can be added.
Thanks.
You mean to open the image in a dialog? Ill think about it... maybe.

Yes, so that the dialog overlays the full screen and shows the image in the biggest size possible.
For now I click on the widget, and select Open in Browser. Then the browser opens and reloads the same comic from the network. It works but it doesn't look seamless. Having a dialog, fetch the same image from cache will be quicker than the current reload from network in browser option.
Thanks for considering it.

Hi, I was wondering if you got a chance to experiment with the full screen image overlay feature. Let me know if I can be a beta tester for that. Thanks!
No i havent had a chance but it is on my to do list!

Are you guys planning to develop this feature: click on the widget opens the linked image in full screen overlay?
Thanks.
Its on the to do list. But its not height priority because similar functionality can already be achieved through opening the relevant web page.
What I'm talking about is a widget that is stationary in one position on the screen no matter where you scroll on your homescreens. I know these already exist in some themes in themer but I do not know how to create a custom one. Can anyone help out? Or is this impossible? Thanks.

Hi made when I make my wallpapers for my themes I add the icons for the dock apps then using ether the everything widget or themer zooper for hotspots.
To do this add a shape over the top of a icon and set to the same size as the icon and make the shape transparent and add the matching hotspot
All the best

Sent from my RAZR I screen to your screen using a strange thing known as the world wide web
I think he means where the scroll bar at the bottom remains static,here's how to do it
go to browse themes and select settings
in settings click advanced,then click dock
in these settings select show dock
go back to your home screen and drag the icons you want to stay to the dock area and there you have it
your icons now appear to remain
hope this helps
Thanks for the tips guys. going into more detail I was actually going to slightly edit an existing theme and add stationary text near the top of the screen. I think for that dj's method works so thanks for that.
I have never seen those widgets but I want to use them. Can you give me a link to it?
So I picked up Nova Launch Prime today. Really impresses with the app and cant wait to see what the community has come up with! While tyring to recreate my screen I noticed that when I go into a folder then click on the setting (3 verticle dots) the text in that menu is white and the background is white. I cant seem to find out where to change this. Any ideas? See the picture below.

Hi all,
You can have notification on screen by the use of an app, it's a temp fix until dev do something.
(See attachement for screenshot.)
You have to Download KLWP from playstore.
And You can Download this https://drive.google.com/file/d/11X9GXO4fW8vAtQDbG-aveUKKfB6ZkA9X/view?usp=drivesdk
Save it in internal storage under kustom/wallpapers
And import in the app(You need the pro version)
Like the second screenshot and enjoy.
Another one with icon little more big and cliquable so You can open directly from icon
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15krDUewsEVLnYyXbbaulA-HvGoDVeCq3/view?usp=drivesdk
With icon on top right clickable

Yes everything is editable including icon size. Instead of having the small icon centered, I enlarged them, vertically stack them on the left. Also making them clickable to launch their respective app
