TW 4.0 Widgets - Galaxy S II General

Have any of guys been able to resize any of the widgets? I'm trying to resize the weather widget but it's not playing ball.

Place the widget then tap and hold on it and let go. Should see lines then and pull the grey tab that's there to reshape.

Once you've place the widget on the screen, press the screen widget for a second (as if you wanted to delete it) and then let go, you will then see various lines and in the bottom left corner you'll see the resize point. Just drag to resize it

Bah! My geek level just went down. Thanks guys.

How to move home screen drawer to side.

Does anyone know how to put the Bottom drawer to the side on the home screen? Some guysays he "hacked" it but usually when people use the works hack they usually are some loser with a dowloaded app. Or something. I've looked around to find some source code in the firmware that dictates where the drawer is to be but I can't find it (that's where it was on my iphone).. so if anyone has done this or knows how to do this could you let me know?
i've glitched it to the side a few times and it's kinda ugly over there. the whole setup of the homescreen rely's on the app drawer being at the bottom. to move it you would have to change how the icons appear on the screen and you would lose some space
no biggie

Can anyone tell me how to add more dock icons with Launcher Pro? Thanks
Regarding adding more dock icons, simply swipe the bottom portion of the screen left or right. It SHOULD take you to a set of five blank dock items. From there you simply long press on each icon you want to replace with a shortcut.

Widgets not being able to be placed on edge of grid

Has anyone else noticed that some widgets won't snap to the outer edges?
For instance Accuweather won't move to the top row, and PowerAmp widgets won't start in the first column or end in the last.
Then, in that unused space between the widget and the edge you can't place an app either.

The little pluses you see aren't where they go. Icons and widgets go in the space 4 pluses make. This seems to create alot of dead space.

Noticed that too with Accuweather. Not a very good widget in my opinion. Beautiful Widgets seems to do a better job and it is not even designed for Honeycomb.

Yes, I understand that. I believe there is that deadspace so that things will look ok when you go from landscape to portrait.
I'm trying to put my PowerAmp widget in the right 2 colums that are available and the accuweather n thhe top row
Saw that too...I tried putting a 'Settings' icon in the top-right of my screen, right next to the Apps button, but I can't get it very close, so it looks goofy hanging out by itself (I get OCD if my screen isn't symmetric).
It's called negative space.
It's a good thing, visually.
Seems like they did that so the order of the icons are consistant when switching from landscape and portrait. On the same note, I noticed in landscape that you can tap the sides to scroll from page to page, but not in portrait. Might have needed room for that as well

Missing Home Screen ICON??

Well the other morning i turned my phone on and noticed something really strange. At the bottom of my screen where the MAIN ICONS are, PHONE, MESSENGER, CONTACTS, and APPS, I am now missing the ICON for CONTACTS.
To repeat, instead of 4 icons, i now have 3?? And my contact icon is MIA. Inorder for me to access them i had to go to my APPS and bring it to my homescreen. Has this happened to anyone else???
Folow these instructions. Hit the apps drawer icon. Once inside, hit Menu>Edit then drag the contacts or whatever icons you want in to the dock. Then save and problem solved.

Don't drag it towards the trash can but instead to the end of that drawer to the left of the 1st icon.
Do you BONSAI?
Ok. Hit the Home soft button to go to your homescreen. Hit the blue icon on the bottom of the screen that looks like a window, this is your Applications drawer. Hit the Menu soft key, then click the Edit option on the screen. Drag the contacts icon, or whatever you choose, and drag it into the dock. You can configure the three icons to whatever you want them to be. Easier?

thanks guys, i was able to add another icon into the tray, i chose to add facebook instead of contacts, since u can add contacts from other screens.
Also, you can enter contacts from the phone icon as well. The contact icon is redundant in my opinion.

Lock screen widget

How can I add widgets to the lock screen ???
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Assuming you are using stock lock screen:
On the lock screen swipe all the way to the left, and you should finish on a screen with a big plus sign on it. Click the plus sign and select the widget to add (unfortunately not all support lock screen widgets yet but still a fair selection). To rearrange long press the widget and move it to suit. To delete, long press the widget, and drag to the trash can.
Also, try Dashclock from the play store, perhaps the only lock screen widget you need!
