Three New Widgets!

Hi there!
I just noticed that we got some new widgets.
We got note (which I was waiting for), quick record (one button record that works good and after recording gives you a notification) and today in history (wow, it's quite good and I loved it also gives information about event). And they are better than tip calculator and dice.
May the widgets be with you

Finally!
Notes!!!
And... The new Market version got a widget too?
But what does it do?

Yep, just got my Wildfire and was thinking of a note widget. Thanks for the heads up !

Yep, the new Version (2007) got a widget.
But it doesnt show anything to me.
Some Users say that it shows sponsored paid apps.

Yeah the market widget just shows an empty miniature of the market

haha, custom rom ftw

Hello, i downloaded the "tip calculator" and when i went to see the permissions of the app it says that it have access to the following on the phone:
Your personal information.
Services that cost you money.(directly call phone numbers, send SMS messages)
Your messages.
Your location.
Network communication.
Your accounts.
Storage.
Phone calls.
Hardware controls. (record audio)
System tools.
Should i worry? xD

Nope, You can trust everything that comes from HTC/Google

For those of you who use ADW

Hey guys just a quick question about ADW...im having some problems when trying to add a picture frame widget. When I choose the photo I want and then I have the option to resize it,,instead of 2X2 I want to make it 4X2 however when I do that it still comes out to 2X2 but it takes the space of a 4X2. Now, I had no problems doing this with my Nexus One..so is it possible that its a 1.6 problem? or am I missing a setting somewhere?
Thanks

When you change the space settings the widget stays the same size, just has a kind of invisible border.

Right, thats exactly what happens....but before on my Nexus the picture itself would be bigger no invisible border. Why wont it work now? is it 1.6? Thats what Im trying to figure out

I don't think it's anything to do with ADW... It's the SE implementation of the picture frame widget I believe...

Is there maybe a better picture frame program in the market?

Yeah I found a pretty cool one called Turtle photo frame.... problem is is it causes ADW to FC as soon as you add the widget. So I'm still on the hunt lol

Some (although few) widgets actually stretch or shrink depending on what size you make them, however, try the 'Auto Stretch' option in ADW which may stretch widgets which normally wouldn't

why cant i get images transfered to sd scaled for wallpaper?

I've tried resizing and everything it just gets blurry when smaller size when bigger size its clearer but the pic still isnt scaled to hd2 screen am i doing something wrong? is there an app that can claim non market pics and claim and get them to fit? i have all these epic pics but they look like **** unless i get wallpapers from market
thanks

your images should be 960x800
upscaling can make them look bad, make sure you are using a fairly big image to start with

You should check out an app from the market called "crop wallpaper ". It does what your looking for I use it all the time.

i used this app awhile back. it was ok, but i was looking for the same type of animated weather that I had way back on my htc diamond sadly, this android app doesnt have a widget for the phone itself, its just a program you would have to open to see.

Great tutorial James, thanks. By the way, would you happen to know how to change the overscroll effect from the blue glow to the bounce effect?

Not sure.

Hey, i'm not sure on how to do this exactly. I'm pretty sure it's hard coded into an apps menu:

ADW EX Launcher with Multi Picture Live Wallpaper.

Great vid, now I have this to add to my project list for the week. I need to go from android newb to pro with a rooted phone with updated kernel and a custom launcher set up.

Fabulous tutorial. When I get my note Ill try not to mess up what you instructed.
One question though. With the 3d UI can I use live/active wallpapers (the ones that move like the moving galaxy) instead of pictures?

Static

Hi, unfortunately it's only static wallpapers i'm afraid

Static screen problem
This question is for James, I presume, the maker of this tutorial. I've followed all your steps for the 3D UI, but, for some reason, the picture is staying static, there is no cube effect when I scroll screens, and yes, screen scrolling is enabled on AWD Ex. Help? =/

Did you enable the transition effects in Multi picture live wallpaper as well?
For me it works perfectly on Go Launcher Ex. I sat the transition there as well to outside cube.
