Seems to lag when opening it after using some applications. Using SiMi folder for now.

Thanks for the recommendation. I was using ADW Launcher for a while and then switched to Go Launcher and really like that one. I've never heard of Circle Launcher so I'll check it out.

I found it to be a little laggy too, and was looking for an alternative. Checked out the simi folder mentioned above and I like it a lot.

not a fan of circle launcher.

I dislike how the app is called "Circle Launcher" when it isn't actually a launcher. It basically just makes fancy folders (only using the resources of a widget), which for me, seems unnecessary.

Agreed....I use launcher pro plus, and the scrollable dock station allows me to accomplish the same taks...Only faster.

Stop market from dropping icons on homescreen

Bugs me how when you install an app it automatically drops the app on your home screen. That can be changed (I wasn't aware after months of owning the the XOOM).
----------
Open the Market app, go to My Apps screen, open menu, un-check Add shortcuts for new apps option.

Thanks for that!

I actually like that feature since I'm usually too lazy to add an icon to the home screen and I find it less annoying to delete unused icons than it is to add new ones.

WeatherBug Automatic Updates

Previously I was having an issue with the WeatherBug ticker widget not always auto-updating. Sometimes it would and other times it wouldn't. I determined the reason was due to the constant level 2 memory clears I was doing. The memory clears were periodically closing the running service WeatherStatusService (WeatherProvider.apk). The widget will successfully auto-update if this service is left running at all times. Hopefully this helps someone out there.

Ty..I tried the weatherbug app but was not impressed.fancy Widgets or alternatively beautiful Widgets are both better choices IMO.

Yeah it comes pre-installed on all verizon continuums. I never could get it to auto-update, and I couldn't figure out how to keep android from closing it when it got low on memory. Fancy Widgets is such a better alternative, with so many more options. Definitely a fan of it.

Does Fancy Widgets work with the ticker if WeatherBug is not installed?

Nope

[Q] Expand lock screen widgets

Hi All,
I finally made the jump and bought a Nexus 7 even tho we will most likely see a newer version in May. However it is still freakin awesome! I am running CM 10.1 nightly's but cannot expand the lock screen widgets. Is this possible? I love that new Dashclock widget for the lock screen but it will only show me two of my selected options before it cuts off because I am unable to expand the widget.
I use it on the Note 2 (also running CM10.1) and it works great. Anyone know something that I may have missed?
Thanks in advance
-Chris

I actually forgot how it's done. I remember I did it once on 4.2 but never again could I expand the widgets to maximum size again on 4.2.1 and 4.2.2

Hi there,
Have you tried Apex Launcher?
I dunno for sure, but maybe, and just maybe you can re-size and customize the lock screen widgets.
Hope this helps

I did! That's what I thought but looks like it's built into CM 10.1. but not in the grouper builds i guess.

Swipe down on the widget. From the clock

It doesn't behave the same way my Note 2 build does.Only thing I can do is delete or add widget. no re-sizing (that I can see or get to work) .

It really is strange then. Maybe if you pm your Rom dev for some q & a.
