Hello
I'm not sure if this will work and need some help how to solve this issue. First i'm sorry if my English is a bit rusty!
Anyway i have made a design i'm pretty satisfied with. I want the above part to be fixed (Non scrollable) its there i want to place
the UCCW information as battery info, Free memory, Weather and so on.The lower part i made as tabs. 6 pictures with each tabs showing.
Best would be if i can get it to look like in a browser when switching tabs !
Now to the part where i'm stuck! I don't know how to make the tabs working without moving the UCCW widget with all info
i just want the lower part to be move able. Will try to show with a picture

When I used UCCW, which is already some time back, you had to (?) create 6 home screens with the top of each home screen the same (your battery indicator etc.) and the lower part changing, with in this case your tabs. Then in the launcher (e.g. I use Apex) you can switch off the home screen scrolling animation or reduce the time for the animation to 0 so that it looks like you are switching tabs.

I am looking for the following that I haven't been able to find by searching:
-Widget with different sizes
-Widget will automatically slideshow from selected drawers at a set interval (with random as option)
-You can scroll through the photos by swiping, preferrably seamless (with the help of a launcher that allows scrollable widgets I guess) so you can scroll really quick
-Clicking a picture will bring you its source
Would this be possible (or is there such a widget already)?
I have not found anything like this but would love to have it.
Would like this also... thought i'd 'bump' the short thread.

Great idea.. Whoever decides to jump on board should test with one of the new 7 inch tablets as well.. Having extra screen estate means bigger thumbnails for Widgeez especially anything picture related.
Multi Picture Live Wallpaper does more or less what you want.
You can have an empty screen and cycle the background.
Obviously not a widget, but it comes close to what you want.
(can't yet add the link for you unfortunately)
I know exactly what you might be looking for...
I had a "Sony Xperia Arc LT15a" on gingerbread.. and it had a scrolling gallery widget where the pictures shuffled in folder order when you touch the widget and I cant find it anywhere. If anyone can find anything similar msg me please!
If you haven't already you should definitely check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857493
Its good but what I'm really looking for is simply an automatic slideshow version of the stock android photo gallery widget. I like the way it stacks the photos, shows them in high res and responds to flicking through them - I just wish it would animate automatically!
I need slide widget 'xperia style' too. Is it present?
Up!
I would like to make my homescreen look like the one attached.
This is a little mockup I have made. Even if I can get the shortcut list going on the side would be nice. I'm not so sure about the tiles after I finished drawing it.
Any ideas on widgets/launchers is appreciated before I have to actually code something myself. I have been trying to look for widgets etc. that can help me but have come up empty.
Things like this have been done before. Search Android Phone 7. I've never seen one with that app list sidebar. That may be a little hard to recreate but it isn't impossible.
Things you'd need: Icons, Desktop Visualizer, ADW EX or Launcher Pro Plus (Plus is needed for resizing widgets) Minimalistic Text, maybe Phantom Music Control. For the icons like "Games" or "Utilities" you may be able to link the DVR widget to an app called Folder Organizator. Or you could use a widget called SiMi Folder, which would make a shortcut on your homescreen that is like the iPhone's folder thing. You could make the icon of the SiMi Folder transparent.
This is going to take A LOT of resizing, which can get really boring. To avoid headaches, plan everything out before you start. If you want a widget above another widget, the widget you want on the bottom (background) needs to be placed BEFORE the widget you want in front (foreground). You are going to have to resize it over the other widget, not place it on top.
That's all I can think of for right now. The left side should be pretty easy. The right side on the other hand will be a little challenging. My best advice would be to start by making a big plain minimalistic text (MT) widget, then add each app name as a MT widget with a blank background (option is in the MT widget configuration menu) For some help, try the Hubs layout in the Asus Transformer Theme and App section. We have a nice thread there with a similar idea and people there will be more than willing to help. They are a lot better at home screen customization than me.
Anyways, awesome idea! If you make the icons, I'll be happy to help you recreate it!
Thanks for the reply. I've played around with Minimalistic Text and it looks promising, thanks. I had noticed it several times before, but it does not mention it can function to create normal shortcuts too.
Just buying ADW Launcher EX (first purchase, borrowing a debit card now), as I have been using the free version for a while. Will post an update when it goes through and I can play with resizing the widgets.
I am currently playing with Minimalistic Text and I have the text on the screen, but when I assigned the proper functions I found they overlap each other...
Anyone know how to avoid this? (They are created using 5x1 horizontal widgets)

Resize the widgets. I dont know how its done in ADW but i think you can do it by long pressing them.
I have, they are the smallest they can go. The resize outline box is 1 unit high, but when I push the 'button' it shows a 2 unit high selection box...
I'll see if I can get a s/s of each box...
Edit: Nope, too tricky to get the timing.
reminds me of wp7
if you wanna something like that try Launcher 7
https://market.android.com/details?id=info.tikuwarez.launcher3
else you can use desktop visualizer (like mentioned before)
i am using desktop visualizer,too.
but i noticed when you have to restart your phone it takes a while to reload the widgets
How ever it's still fine
I used to use DVR when I first got my phone. The tile layout on the left was an experiment, I don't think I'll use it. The main thing was the right hand side; the list of shortcuts.
Well I worked around the overlapping issue by reapplying them in a different order so they underlap instead.
Now I'll work on another layout I like for the rest of my icons, thanks guys
PS: @restarting phone: Who does that?
Edit: For anyone who cares:
Use MT to make a 5x1 widget, use the vertical top alignment and both horizontal ones right.
Don't show background.
Choose custom layout and remove the three existing sections and add a 'static text' one from under Misc.
I choose normal (not default) text and change it to 30dip (that fits my applications nicely on my 800x480px screen).
Choose launch another application and choose the application you want to launch.
Start from the bottom of the screen and work your way up, placing the background last.

OO thanks! I'll wait til you finish the whole thing to try it out but it looks like its going to be awesome.
I'll post a new thread when I've accomplished it
Hi
is there any progress on this topic? is the new thread already open?
It's 12:40am here. A new thread will be made tomorrow after I've finished the homescreen.
To begin with, I'm far from new to Android, just new to Samsung and the Note.
Also - I know I'm not the only one with this problem but I haven't run across a solution yet. I can take and image I want to use as a wallpaper and, on the lock screen and the Touch whiz home screen and it looks exactly like I want it to. But, since I'm one of those folks who dislikes the fact that I can't swap out apps on the TW launcher bar, I slap my own launcher on the Note to make it mine again. Unfortunately, then comes the annoying part.......
Whatever photo I put up as wallpaper looses resolution and seems to explode in size so that only about 1/4 of the original wallpaper/ photo is visible and what's left is very blurry. I know this isn't limited to just one launcher - I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro, Nemus, Go Launcher, Holo, and a few more I can't remember the names of right now. And they all give me the same problem.
So far I've changed the format of the wallpaper photo to .png or .jpeg and back again, tweaked the size and resolution of the picture, dug through XDA and a few other forums fort wisdom, and used harsh language on my Note - all to no avail. So, can anyone tell me what I'm missing or if there's any hope for me at all? I'm rooted stock 2.3.6 and would prefer, for various reasons, to stay that way for now. But, at this point I'm willing to consider options if all else fails since I'm getting quite annoyed by this.
Thanks for any help/ insight!
Use the Quickpic app to set the wallpaper.
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Hello,
I have been playing around with Themer and the built in Zooper Widgets, and I made some adjustments to widgets that are in two different themes. I wanted to get them together into the same theme, so I did it by making room on the bottom half of the screen, creating a new widget and resizing it to the same size as the widget I want to copy from the other theme. I then loaded tapped the widget, which brought up the zooper config and opened the widget that was autosaved in the first theme. When it loaded, I noticed that everything was off. Everything was tiny and pulled away from the edges of the widget. I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I went in to change the overall widget scaling to make it fill the space, and instead it hit a point where instead of resizing, it started cutting off the sides of the widget. I tried manually changing the x and y locations of the widget items, and they just get cut off instead of expanding into the rest of the widget space.
Is there a way that I can force the widget to make use of the whole widget space instead of cutting off? I've attached a picture to show where there is the empty space on the sides of the widget. Please note that the "resize" option of the widget (when long pressing on the widget and getting the options to remove, resize or configure) shows the resize handles all the way to the left and right edges of the screen, yet the widget inside of it won't fill that space.
Or maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way. Are there settings in themer that may be different from theme to theme that would cause this sort of thing to happen even when the widgets are being used on the same phone? I thought perhaps the desktop grid (which is 8x6 in these two themes) would do it, but that doesn't seem to matter in this case since they're the same.
Thanks for your help,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for your detailed feedback. This is an odd problem, but that's what Zooper is all about.
This may be caused by a bug in Themer. Sometimes it says that the widget resize handles are touching the edges, when the truth is that the widget is still in the same place. Try adding it in on one side and see if the result is the same (or even multiple resize attempts). The reason I say this is because if the widget was truly the whole width of the screen - it would let you reposition the modules within the skin with ease. Let me know what happens.
Could you give me the name of both themes that you used, perhaps I could recreate the issue.

Hi Marco,
I was inserting a customized version of the bottom half of the "Woods" theme into a new screen on the "Glass" theme. I was using the one that was saved in my "Autosave" list rather than one I had manually saved. Also, I tried loading it into a regular Zooper Widget PRO widget within Nova Launcher. It took a time or two, but I was able to finally get it to work and it only required minimal tweaking to get it looking good again. What I may have done wrong was not resizing the widget to the correct size before loading a the saved contents into it. (Honestly I cannot remember for sure at this point since several days have gone by. ) For example, if the widget is supposed to be 6x4, I may have had it sized to 5x4 by accident first, inserted the widget contents from the autosave, and then tried to resize it to 6x4 after, causing the weird gaps.
If I see it happen again, I'll pay more attention to the specific circumstances and give better feedback.
Thanks again for the help,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
If that ever happens, you can always reload the skin within the Zooper Configuration Menu (instead of manually resizing everything), however this only works 70% of the time. You're welcome to watch some of our videos on the MyColorScreen YouTube channel, as there might be something to help you out there.

Marco
Hi there
Some days ago I have sadly changed my HTC One M9 Plus after 3 and half years of service, the last of a 10 years experience with HTC from the HD2...what a sad situation about the brand.
Anyway I have bought a Samsung S9 Plus which seems not bad at all but I have some questions about it:
1) I have seen that is it possible to change the resoution of the screen, currently I'm on 2220*1080 but I could go for 2960*1440, anyway some widget already have small text, I have tried the upper resolution and a lot of things (icons etc) doesn't seems define enough to support it. What do you suggest?
2) I miss some HTC hystorc widget like the weather flip-clock and the contact widget for making quick call, do you know if there is a chance to install them on the samsung?
3) Is that possible to change the disposition of the system lower key (home, back and multitasking) ?
4) Is that possible to wake up the phone from the always on with a double tap?
5) Is that possible to have a wallpaper for the home and a different wallpaper for the all apps menu?
Welcome over from HTC. I too was a fan of their products until the last 4 years.
1. Yes, Settings -> Display -> Screen Resolution -> Select WQHD+ although will use more battery.
2. Download Sense Flip or Flipv2 from marketplace.
3. Yes, Settings -> Display -> Navigation Bar on the bottom -> Select your preferred order.
4. Not entirely sure if it's possible.
5. Not entirely sure. I prefer using a different launcher like Nova Launcher and use it to mimic Google as much as possible.
Hi there!
Thanks you very much for your answears!
I have tried the 2 widget that emulates the HTC flip clock but I don't I guess it's not the same thing as the original, also the have a low resolution for this phone.
I have also searched a contact widget to add photo of favorites contacts for quick calls, I have found some but they all are too much small for the resolution of the S9+

Use edge panel for favorite contacts with their photos, otherwise you have stock contacts widget which works just fine
Ok edge panel is nice otherwise the contact widget add too much small photo of your contact and also also you need to manually add one by one, you cannot have a table
