[Q] Looking for an app like live tiles gallery from Launcher8 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says, there's any app/widget that allows to display a live tile of images from gallery (or any other path) like the one found in launcher8?

Same thing
Well, I am looking for the same thing this past few weeks because Im totally craving the sliding live tile animation on a desktop. And Im glad Im not the only one
I searched for live tile widgets and the only thing I found (which was not even like a live tile) is the Animated Photo Frame Widget. This however is only a slide show widget. But because I cant find anything else, I used the free version of this.
haaay.. I hope that someone would just create a live tile app or widget that is exactly like a Windows Phone live tile

[Q] Fancy Widget Question...

Hello all,
So I love Fancy Widgets' Fancy Home setup - with the sense like time and weather etc.
In landscape mode, the default display for Fancy widget is a landscape style view, with time, then weather, next to it on the right.
In portrait, it shows the time, with the weather under it, just like Sense/Beautiful Widget.
However, on occasion, my Fancy Widget will show the portrait view while I am in landscape - and it looks AWESOME.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make it display this way ALL THE TIME?
I much prefer the portrait style layout...but while in landscape mode.
Thanks!
p.s Has anyone else experienced this? I'm sure someone has - it happens to me once a day I would say.
I`d like to know it, too!

Request: Snowstorm-like lockscreen application

I guess most people know the weather app Snowstorm on Android. There are many apps on WP8 but something more can be done. I like how in Snowstorm you have your widgets and a wide choice of icon sets and I'm pretty sure that can be done on Windows Phone. A weather forecast at the top of the lockscreen and a choice of icons in the app settings, all while leaving the wallpaper choice to the user.
Anyone up for that?
how bout locksider+? It was free for a while, not sure about now, but it has a bunch of lockscreen photos that you can pick or choose to randomize, and it has weather in the top corner

How to change WP8 App Icons/Tiles?

Any idea how to change the icons/Tiles of apps? There are some apps which don't adapt the design color for their icons, so i'm searching for a solution for this "problem".
unfortunately i dont think you can dude!!!
There is no solution to this problem. Part of it is that especially if the App has a live tile it constantly creates new Image files that are set as the foreground of the tile. Some Apps use a transparent Icon background which lets the tile color shine through but others don't. With full unlocked WP7 devices it was possible to overwrite the default icon but quite often that also broke the live functionality.
So all in all the previous answer is accurate and there are reasons why that is not going to change anytime soon.
wp7 themes
wp 7 themes is the app ur looking for. its just a beginning, however in circa 1 month will be some huge update, pro version will be released and i dont think it cost us much

When you create a new tile, you can set an icon, but this icon is just a little square inside the tile
You can also set a brackground image, this image will completly fill the tile.
"You can also set a brackground image, this image will completly fill the tile." -> This is what i would like, to find some icons like that. It takes too many time to create them manually, one by one.
One more thing : is there any solution to remove icon in order to keep only background image ?

Yes, hold the icon, click edit tile, tap icon, tap no icon.

[Q] [4.2] widget on lockscreen widget?

Hi all,
I'm not particularly sure I chose the right forum, but hey, maybe you can point me to the right place
I do have an Android 4.2.2 ROM on my phone, and I'd like to have a special widget on my lockscreen widget (it's an app displaying emergency info for paramedics, and as such intended to be shown on lockscreen). But so far I didn't manage to add it - either it takes the whole lockscreen and there's no romm for clock, wheather etc. or I can't display it on the primary lockscreen at all
My best shot so far seems to be DashClock, but among the numerous extensions I couldn't find one that displays any of the installed widgets which I could put on my homescreen.
Did I miss something? An extension? Or is there some generic way or a different lockscreen widget I could use?
Any hints appreciated
