After installing ADW Launcher EX, i noticed that the Music-Widget, Timescape Widget, and the Picture & Video Widget don't show up in the widget list.
Is there a way to use these widgets within ADW Launcher?
I tried many other widgets from all over the markets, but couldnt find good alternatives for Music and Picture-widgets.

They only work with the Sony home launcher. The widgets depends on something in the launcher. It's the same on htc phones some widgets only work with the native launcher as they depends on the sense overlay of the UI wich is only there in the native lancerer. All 3rd party launchers depends only on the android fw and therefore does not support the different overlays of UI's done by the different company's afaik.

This sucks These widgets are great, but i want my launcher to be more flexible and customizable, so i installed ADW....
So i think i have to search again for some alternatives

Poweramp has the best music widget i dont use a picture one though

I already tried out nearly all music-apps/widgets, but there is no widget having the feature(s) i want. It's especially the progress-bar when playing a song and showing how long the song is.
I was wondering this as well, Sucks that you can't get the widget. I was using Winamp for a while, that worked well and has wireless sync with my PC. Only problem is that when using the bluetooth headphones (mw600) the controls always open the default music player.

yeah, they require the SE Framework, and as such won't work with other home launchers!
You could try MIUI music player. Search in the generel android themes and app section.

I tried it, but it doesnt have this feature.

try this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ardrii&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
QuckPic
You could use PicSpeed wallpapers. Also has alot of other neat wallpapers.
Thanks guys for so quick replies. Will try & update u soon.
Try an app called image 2 wallpaper. Works like a dream.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I use a combination of QuicPic and/or Nova Launcher
Highly recommend Nova launcher as you can set it to scroll or lock the background and crop it to your liking
+1 for Image 2 wallpaper!
i have the same problem.
just rooted the phone to install GMD Hide Soft Keys, and now the wallpapers span unto the soft key bar and then its just black background.
tried image 2 wallpaper and still the problem persists.
any other way to get the wallpaper unto the bottom of screen.
thanks in advance.
Between using QuickPic, and setting my Apex Launcher setting to : "Single Screen (non-scrolling)" I can accurately plan for portrait orientation images for the phone, rather than to have to think about how big I need to make it for scrolling.
PS: If anyone knows the Nova Launcher's equivalent to "Single Screen (non-scrolling)", let me know because I haven't found it yet.

You just need to create your wallpaper with the correct resolution. There are threads where this is discussed.
Hi I've just flashed foxhound rom 0.8 on to my s4 but when I go to change my lock screen wallpaper, the option to choose from gallery is not there. only from the default wallpapers. for home screen the options come out but not for lock screen. Any idea why? I can't Post on the developers thread yet. so if anyone has a solution or could help me post there it would be much appreciated. a couple of guys asked about it before but no one gave a solution.
Thanks.

What launcher are you using? How about navigating to your preferred image in Gallery, then trying to set it as wallpaper from there?
Im using Nova Launcher. Ive tried that too. I can only set as Wallpaper, not Lock screen Wallpaper. I cant ask the foxhound developers as i cant post there yet since i just signed up.
Hmm noticed the same thing here. Previous on TW, able to set lock screen wallpaper from gallery or from settings. Now on Google Edition, doesn't seem to have this option

Note that doing the next few steps will reset your default app preferences, disabled apps etc.
In Settings, Application Manager, hit menu then Reset App Preferences.. read the warning!
This would help IF whatever's causing your problem is actually a 3rd party app that "clashes" (in a way) with the stock Gallery app
edit: also.. if that doesn't help, maybe try changing wallpapers from within touchwiz launcher, THEN relaunch nova
Tried to do what you said adrian, but still no go. When i click on display, wallpaper, lock screen, still only shows me one option there 'wallpapers' . No gallery or option for any 3rd party picture viewer. Could someone maybe help me post on the foxhound 0.8 for i9505 thread?
Thanks alot.

Correct. Been using that app for two years now. It's way smoother and quicker than the stock Gallery app and has some very useful features as well (excluding unwanted folders etc.) :good:

IMO this is best launcher without apk-drawer on Playstore
chekit out
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apusapps.launcher&hl=en
I don't find any reason for accessing internet with a time gap even when the recommended apps list is off. And by killing the background apps completely you can boost any launcher. So nothing special.
I switched to it. Had to turn app recommend off. Was using nova prime like everyone bit fed up with tinkering and the space all those custom packs take up
Y would you want to make your phone like an iPhone?

it'a cool launcher... really small and fast
i hope they will improve wallpapers application and few things
i like custom quick settings menu, it's very useful because on stock rom You can use the torch and the rotation tile for example

Why*
This is an ignorant statement.
Why would you make your phone like Ubuntu?
Why would you make your phone like Firefox?
Why would you make your phone like Windows?
Why would you make your phone like ChromeOS?
Because Android. That's why.
We can ultimately customize our phone to whatever degree we wish, why not take advantage of it?
Hi. Does anyone know how to uninstall the apus launcher? There is no uninstall option in the playstore, es file explorer deletes the file but the app generates it again and deactivating it from the settings doesnt work aswell it activates on its own. I would like to use the normal google launcher and delete all apps that i dont need.
Many thanks

Uninstall it under settings.
I tried this launcher. Didn't look light and small. I still haven' find better launchers as apex or nova.
@Mario thanks but tried it all...wont work.
APUS
Cool!
Tried it, it was fast and snappy but I just couldn't get past the bloat,
Feedback,themes, wallpapers of Asian girls, and the other icons in the app draw, I removed many features in the settings to help.
If it was light without that stuff it would be great, I like nova and apex too much

Try the Nokia one. No bloat. Takes widget and icons. No app draw. Learns to prioritise the apps You use. Just saying...

Thanks for the support!
I see you've come to learn how to change the Amazon Fire HD 6/ Amazon Fire HD 7 Wallpaper with no root required! Now before we begin, I must explain something. There are two methods that I've discovered and they both have their pros and cons so please don't complain. Let's begin!
Method 1:
Now this method applies only to certain launchers, for example the only launchers that have worked for me that I've tried so far are: Jolla Launcher and Buzz Launcher. You just have to set your wallpaper and it just works. I do think that this works by using an overlay effect but I'm not completely sure.
Method 2:
Now this has some disadvantages: You can't have apps over the image and the image doesn't cover the whole screen but most of it.
Download the apk from here: "apkgames.apk.onl/app/com.billyfrancisco.photogallerywidget.html" and install it.
Next on a launcher you want to use this on, app a widget and choose the 5x5 widget choose the picture you want to set and there you go. You can also scale the widget to make the image bigger or smaller.
Thanks for checking this thread out and I hope I helped!
yes i used buzz launcher and thanks to powerpoint45 for gapps and default launcher tutorial. Now i love HD 6 even more bc of the 6" size lol. The only thing that I really need is root and adaway, otherwise it's awesome no complaint.
Do widgets work with buzzlauncher ?
I think they do I'll have to check.
yes widgets work
Installed buzz launcher, disabled stock launcher via ADB but can't add widgets to homescreens. Just end up in the Fire HD Settings Menu, same issue as I had with Nova Launcher when trying to add widgets.

Can you tell me how you are adding the widget(s)? Are you tapping them? Dragging them out? Also, try adding a different widget if one isn't working.
just go to app draw then hit widget tab, from there just hold any widget to the homescreen .
Here is the sample: spotify, flipboard, weather, youtube.

long press on homescreen, add, choose widget.
Only one that worked was the googel search bar, pretty much everything else ends up in the Fire HDs settings menu.
*edit* Tried dragging the widgets out of the app drawer, same result.
Maybe it's related to blocking all the Amazon processes as per this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58360063&postcount=5
So I tried unblocking everything except com.amazon.kindle.otter(the native Fire HD launcher) and rebooted the device.
Tried to add widgets again but nope, none except the fire HDs natives internet search bar works. Not even the buzz widgets.

Are you using the built-in Buzz Launcher Widgets? It could be those. Try installing other widgets and let me know if that works because it's probably just the Buzz Launcher Widgets. Also, try applying a different theme as for some themes may not allow certain widgets.

Yes I've tried loads.
VLC, 1Weather, google now, google calendar, calculator,email, tapatalk, google play music, ....
Another theme is a good idea...which one you're using in your screenshot ?
I've tried 2 or 3 random themes but with those adding widgets also doesn't work(pops up system Settings menu)
It works
By doing what as you told, it seems like works, good job for you!
Thanks so much Works for me.
