Here is just a few impression of mine for using 4.2
Hope this thread will help somebody.
The first thing I notices after updating the 4.2 is the Nexus 7 digital clock lock screen.
the first number is bold and the rest number are not.
For example, if it's 4:22pm, the number 4 is bold, but the rest numbers are not. It's looks really ugly as my personal opinions.
Today the HD widget updated for 4.2, I can add 4.2 widget onto nexus 7 lock screen instead their ugly default digital clock.
I will post a screen shot later. Hope this help someone with the same problem.
Personal opinions on 4.2 update
Pro
Swype gesture keyboard is really good I think. I was going to buy the Swiftykey, but this gesture keyboard stopped me
Icons are smaller and I like it. Screen seem to be better I think?
Con
Don't like the bounce back notification ...it's annoying in my opinions..
Overall, the update is just "ok" for me~! not too good, not too bad.
I'm on stock, no root, so I don't really have a choice anyway!

Here is the original clock lock screen

I upgraded to JB 4.2 and thought the bold hour on the digital clock looked ugly.
To fix:
I force stopped the Clock app.
I deleted /system/app/DeskClockGoogle.apk and /system/app/DeskClockGoogle.odex .
I deleted /data/data/com.android.deskclock/databases/alarms.db . You must delete your alarms to downgrade the clock.
I download the DeskClockGoogle.apk attached to this post and put it in /system/app/
Rebooted my phone and the clock was back to 4.1.2 version.

I was wondering if there was a 'narrower/less wider' version of the standard HTC flip clock with the weather integrated, something which is 4 x 1 perhaps?
Or even something with 4 x 1 dimensions that still has a nice looking clock (to one side?) and the weather to the other?
Thanks.
EDIT: Tried to achieve the looks with separate 2 x 1 widget for clock and weather but the look doesn't integrate too well (!)
I don't know anyway to get around what you want but i use one called Beautiful Widgets from the Market place, same sort of thing weather and clock but you can have the smaller home version running and takes up very little space and you can download new skins from the market, very good if the main htc app doesn't have your weather location on as it doesn't for me, a few pics from the net to give you an idea.

If you look on the video i made of my Desire you will see the smaller version of it running and you get lots of other different widgets as part of the package.

The one in your video seems good; anyway to change the font on that particular one or are they all set/fixed?
From what i can see on mine there are 3 fonts but all look mostly the same.
You get 3 basic fonts but if you download different skins they look totally different
Is there an option of 'location' based weather with this particular widget?
I saw the Weather Widget, which seems identical to the HTC one.
Hello,
I've recently upgraded from the Note to the Note 2 and I'm over the moon. Everything about this new device improves on the first and I'm so glad I upgraded.
My only gripe is this side bar that has mysteriously appeared and appears on every screen no matter what I'm doing and I don't know how to get rid of it.
As you can see in the attached image its a little tab on the left of the screen

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
that slides out to reveal a tray of applications but it's completely redundant and just frustrating.
Does any one know how to remove it?

Never mind someone just started a thread asking the exact same question while I was making this. Please can this one be closed?

That is multi windows slide bar....... Long press on back button will give that result
Just goes to show, one man's trash is another man's treasure... a week ago everyone was looking for multi view this week everyone wondering why the bar is so intrusive

Damn right By the way, can you add other apps tp this sidebar? I was only able to add FB app
Only a minor annoyance, but is there any way to hide the side marker hints on the lock screen?
Also.. Color profiles. It seems the 3 kernels I have flashed, franko, lk, and m-kernel don't provide an option to tune color profiles using Trickster Mod. Am I missing something? Or?

Interesting on the color profiles.. As far as the markers go. I'm talking about the initial display after unlock, lasts maybe a few seconds and goes away too quickly to get a screen cap. They're on either side of the screen to inform you that you can swipe to alternate screens. Iirc there was an option to disable them in PrimeDirectives rom PRIME.
Edit: Added photo.
This displays for a few seconds then quickly fades. Not extremely important, but an annoyance no less.

I disabled those squares via an app "Lockscreen Policy" in the store.
I looked into that. Unfortunately it looses the squares as well as lock screen widgets, which I would like to keep. Seems a bit redundant that they're shown at every unlock.
Good afternoon XDA,
My issue is the following. I love Apex and I love working with it but I have several widgets (including my mails and N7player etc..) and every now and again they resize to way outside the current screen.
Is this a known issue and anyone have any idea how to permanently fix it?
PS: I have found a way to temporarily fix it which is holding tap on the widget so that "remove" / "resize" / "app info" & "share" become visible. When I release the widget takes his pre-defined size again and it's all fine (temporarily that is...)

I admit I don't know the answer but may I suggest you to ask on its thread ?
sent from my Darkside of Nexus 4
Thanks for the reply. I searched all over the Nexus 4 forums and didn't find it so I posted this because it could be some Nexus 4 issue or whatnot.
Noticed that it was in the android where Apex has posted (durr )
I have posted this in their official topic too. See if I get any valuable responses,
It's a very weird workaround apparantly.
1) Change your home screen to 10x10
2) Then place the widgets on there (without resizing). Preferably put em in the top left corner else they won't be counted in the next action.
3) change home screen to 5x4 (or whatever prefered)
4) resize widgets, they now stick.... weird shizzle :/ (well I hope this works, used to be 5times+ per day, if it lasts a day it's "fixed" )

If prefered this topic can be deleted or locked or marked fixed of course.
Guys i was just wondering if any mods existed or anyone could do a mod for the s-view screen of the galaxy s4 ...
options like
1) S View Screen flashing or persistent notification icon for a new notifications
2) Music controls on the S view screen
3) night mode displaying time and constantly moving to avoid screen burn
4) Nokia sleeping screen like feature to add a minimum pixel picture as background for the s-view
etc, would be awesome.
I am pretty sure many other users would like these features on the phone too .
Yep i would like it too

Im interested on any mods too. I have the Spigen Crumena View case and i will glad to find any mod for the S-View.
2) Music controls on the S view screen

Here's another good idea.
"Show the rear camera of the device on the s view part to have easy access if you just wanted to take a quick photo'"

wow nice dude ... i have the spigen slim armor view cover . If there are enough people requesting these features I thought of developing it !
After all i am a java programmer myself
Here is my idea...
