Hi Guys,
Just got my hands on a V10 and it is a lovely phone. Just trying to get to grips with it having upgraded from a Note 3.
I am trying to figure out how to stretch the Widgets so they go across the entire width of the screen.
I could do this with my Note 3 but can't seem to do it with my V10.
Am I being silly?
Thanks

Just hold your finger down on it as if you were going to move or delete it and let go once the delete/remove option comes up. You can then grab an edge to resize. Blue lines indicate an allowable resize, red lines a size not available. Pandora for me can go from 4x1 to 4x4 but not 5x1.

Odd. When I do that I get the blue lines around the box to move it, however when I release my finger the widget falls down again and locks.
I don't get the options of moving the sides to resize.
Also, all the promotional photos of the V10 show the clock widget with the hours on top of the minutes, which I prefer. I don't see that widget on my device and I can't shrink the 3x2 clock widget to make it present this way. Where is the clock widget showcased in this picture?

Jimmy, I've been using android phones for years. If you don't have an answer, don't respond. I have a horizontal clock on my lock screen as well as my home screen. Regardless of which screen is in the picture, the clock is vertical. Do you have a vertical clock on your device on any of the screens?

Turns out my problem is with the Audible widget and amazon music widget both are not actually resizable.
Other widgets resize in the way you would expect.
doesn't work quite correctly
I had trouble resizing widgets too. But I noticed that if I first moved them away from the left side of the display, I could then resize. Weird.

no, I do not
they also used a similar vertical clock on the press pics for the lg flex
I tried the same widget (Pandora) in Nova launcher that wasn't stretching all the way across the screen in Lg's launcher and it changes size just fine. Silly Lg

Is there a way to have no Icon over apps on the desktop? I know I could make lettered Icons and choose to have no "labels", but I was wondering if it were possible to have no icon or transparent icons w/ labels showing.
Thanks in advance.
Use a blank png file as the icon via better cut
I did transparent icons and a custom wallpaper so that the image itself (which has 5 peoples faces at the bottom where thee dock is...) Ended up being where the icons are... So I still knew where my app shortcuts were

Each of the guys' faces have a clear png icon over them -- linking to phone, contacts, app drawer, web and messages. I've got icon labels turned off and wallpaper scrolling turned off (so it doesn't move the image when I scroll to a different screen, as then the icons would be off of the "guide" of the guys' faces on the dock on another screen) -- No other icons are on the main screen, I've got them all on other screens.
I did this back in the day on my iPhone when I had it as well, so I just yanked the idea from that and re-created the wallpaper to fit the correct resolution. (Note: the wallpaper image itself is larger and has blank blue bars on each side, as otherwise it'd be cropped when applying it like all other wallpapers)
Woah that's pretty! Now if I only didn't change my wallpaper often and with things that don't have objects I can use for shortcuts, THIS would be perfect. Very nice moonrock.

Welcome! It does take some dedication and/or real love of that main screen wallpaper to give up the shortcuts/widgets/etc from your main screen in order to do this
I remember on my iPhone i hid a few other blank icons in the top corners for various things that I *really* wanted on the main screen so they were still easily accessible.
Thanks for sharing moonrock! That is the same idea, minus the NKOTB, . Still searching for some good wallpapers. Again, great work!
Yeah, kinda assumed nobody would want my wallpaper around here
However, in case you want it (even for a guide or something) it is here:

I was just curious how many people keep the standard HTC flip clock with weather on their home screen by default ?
I used to like it on my EVO 4G the first couple of months, but then got sick of the HUGE numbers, made me feel like an old man with such a big clock on my screen, and changed to Beautiful widgets clock instead, I run some custom clock skin, and custom weather, to give me that all black and white look. I wish we could make the HTC flip clock smaller, the big one makes me feel like I am blind, and need large granny numbers to see it.
Opinions ?
I like the clock but it takes up too much screen real estate. I'd rather have another row of widget space.

I agree, if it could be shrunk down just a tad smaller, and allow for 1 row of a news widget below it, would be perfect.
I currently run a clear engadget news ticker under my beautiful Widget clock. I transferred this APK, from my EVO 4G, and it works perfectly, just like the stock engadget news ticker, expect with no border, and it's transparent background.
with the clock and current widget size their is more than enough room for a third row of apps, if they just shift them down slightly and take away the app name it would be perfect, leave the name in the app drawer but we all know what the icons do by now it's not like we need to read the name on the any of the home screens

Would be perfect if I could have three rows below the big clock. One for a news ticker running right below the clock, and then two rows for app icons.
I love the clock, I've always left it there on all my HTC phones. I like a clean home page so there's only my Handcent and K-9 mail icons other than the clock. I like the left page also so I leave that intact and then add a couple icons to the right page.
I always use it...kinda why I could never get into non-Sense ROMs.
Really old screenshot from the EVO, but multicon was/is my best friend...unfortunately it doesn't look quite as good on the 3D.

I use fancy widget pro. Clock and weather on one row.
I don't use it. I have a clock on the notification bar and one thing I hate is redundancy. I leave my main homescreen blank so I can look at my wallpaper and each page is themed. One for media like music and youtube widgets, one for messages, one for social etc.

+1 for Fancy Widget Pro, but I use the 4X2 widget with battery % and no background most of the time. Once in a while I use the G-Tab Simi clock for a change.
I used to like it but prefer the simplistic style of Clockr...great app.
Fancy Widget Pro, got it free on Amazon 1 day. Great little app.
Is there a way to make the icons on the home screen bigger? I'm currently using go launcher.

Can you post what you did/where you found the setting to resize icons? Thanks!
^ In Go Launcher go to Prefs/Visual Settings/Icons. Under icon size, you can change between Default/Large/Custom Size. (Custom size up to 85, seems to require futzing with the grid size under screen settings to make larger icon sizes fit. Stock icons will also start to look blurry pretty quickly.)
Here's the caveat: it seems that if you make a settings change above, and hit the 'Back' button at the top, the change won't be applied. Ditto if you hit the 'n' button. Use the arrow back button on the status bar at bottom, and then the change should stick.
Thanks for the info!

Yup you must click save or the settings won't get applied. On the upside if you mess up you can just click back and any changes since you last clicked save won't be applied
seems if you go over the 52-54 range it will start to get distorted, and if you go higher the labels will not show up under the icons.

I feel lost. I bring up Prefs in Go Launcher and it goes down hill from there. I have white lettering on pale gray so I have to click each option on that page to see what it is. The page it goes to is fine black font. However even checking each of the white font option I can not find "Visual Settings/Icons". Would you have any clue as to what I am doing wrong? BTW un-rooted, with microSD. Thanks for the help.

Are you using GoLauncher EX version 2.69? If not, sideload it from HERE.
The first prefs menu in GLEX has white on gray menus, but they aren't nearly as unreadable as you describe. Here's a screencap of what I'm seeing:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The very first item should be Visual Settings.
I'm guessing you're possibly using an older/different version? (I think there's GoLauncher, GoLauncherEX, and now the 'tab' version as well. I'd recommend sticking with GoLauncher EX 2.xx)
Not being rooted, I don't think there's much you can do about the white menu problem for now. (I find that it's bearable when its gray on white as in the screen cap, but white on white is when it gets difficult.)
Thank you zaptoons that was the problem I didn't have the newest version!! Amazing how much better stuff works when you have the same version and instructions are given for. lol I appreciate your help.

Hi,
just installed the new PIE update on my Galaxy S9+
Tested the new gesture navbar and would really like to give it a try in daily usage
But what I don't understand why is there such a great gap between keyboard and bottom of the screen
If I use the Gboard Keyboard there is no gap
Is there a setting a did not find or do I need to reset my phone?
The gap is still there even after deleting all data of Samsung Keyboard
PS.
I think there a still many bugs tied to this new form of navbar....
as some apps loose there ratio-.-
they've left the gap because people are used to the keyboard being higher because of the nav bar
complaining here won't do anything, you should send the feedback to samsung via the members app
i was wondering this too, too silly.
also where is setting of frame of the app icons? i was using frameless, but couldnt find option in pie.
I think they prepare for s10, same as the way apple make on ip x and xs max
I thought it's there for the keyboard case, so the key would punch the right place. But there're no keyboard case for the S9+.
I believe they bumped it up so people would stop hitting it using gesture navigation. We are still in beta so who knows, they might move it back down.

I'm on the stable version and it's still there, so that's nice.
I think there is nothing we can do. So i started using SwiftKey after the pie update
They are already testing a version of Samsung keyboard that can adjust the bottom gap in Korea with Note 8 Pie beta and they said that they are working one for note 9 and s9.

I was about to download that, but playing with stock after messing it up, I figured out a no-software fix.
Simply resize the keyboard, and you can drag it down:
1) Click the 3 dots in upper right corner of keyboard.
2) Click on Modes.
3) Click on Keyboard Size
4) Drag lower bar down.
Enjoy!
I also made a hair wider, but that may have been from my earlier screw-up.
Edit: I have an S8. Some people have replied that this doesn't work on all phones.
