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.

Upgraded to ICS yesterday, so far ok.. nothing amazing. But glad to have it. Is it not possible to make folders by dropping one App on top of another like on the Nexus??
thanks, and sorry if this was asked.. I checked, didn't see.
That's why touchwiz sucks
Your best bet is to get ics launcher like apex

Oddly enough, I just tried Apex... but every widget I try adding, I get a message at the bottom saying "there's no more room on this homepage".. even when theres nothing else there! Any suggestions?
Maybe the widgets are too big for the screen you are not running any dpi change on it right? Also you can't add widgets ala ics way unless you are rooted

Thanks.. did that. That helped get some widgets on the screen, but there's still so many, like the digital clock, or power saving widget, for example that just won't fit on the screen.. can't seem to figure out how to get them to fit!! any other suggestions?? thanks!
Happened to me too when I upgraded my Note to ICS yesterday. I didn't touch any of the TW screens but installed and used Apex immediately. When I tried to add e.g. shortcuts to my XDA favorites it came up with the same error. I then checked with TW and there were the shortcuts, on screen 7 (where was some space). I cleaned up TW, i.e. removed all the widgets, and now it works on both launchers. Very strange indeed...

Yeah it wont for me either. Although the widget would resize once in the 5 column but it still hovers above as if it is default 4...so a launchrr issue if it defaulted to 5 for the note it would be fine.

How do you remove the digital clock on the lockscreen? It keeps returning after I delete it. Also, can you add other widgets besides the four shown?
I was able to use uccw on the lock screen
Try to replace it with another widget. Then go back later and delete that one.

Tried that. The clock came back.
Is there at least a way to make it look decent, without the stupid bold hour digit? I wouldn't mind having the clock on the lock screen if it didn't look so bad.

Download Fixed Clock from the Market/Play Store and use that widget in place of the stock one.

You just have to resize the widget to about half of the screen.
have you tried googling it?
this link works, shows weather and agends if you like, looks rather cool, they imported it to cm 10.1

Go to the chronus app and settings and enter your location. Resize afterwards if needed that's how it worked for me.

If the app supports it you need to manually set your location and not have it rely on gps. I have to imagine the problem is that the app is automatically finding your location with the gps, only problem is the the gps in the original Galaxy S is booked beyond all belief.
Question would be better suited for the Galaxy s forums and not the Nexus 4 for future reference.

My mother just bought it and i installed her chronus.apk .. everything works just fine except she cant click on clock ( and set alarm ) or she cant click on event ( open calander )
if she click on clock or events or weather.. nothings happen
Tapping on the clock has no effect for me on stock either. Works OK on CM10 though.

Does everyone have to resize other widget to 4x3 to actually see the weather ?

tapping on the clock shows the clock app (timer,countdown, time zones)
providing you used this link

taping on the weather will refresh for me
the chronus app is made for tabs so the 4x3 is larger than needed so you need to lower your dpi or increase grid size.
my location works its geolocated via network,

If it's not available without a new launcher, use Image 2 Wallpaper and make your custom wallpaper fit properly.

Big time disappointment for me aswell, this is my first android phone, and when testing others phones, the majority had it working...... can not understand why they would'nt include it.

Disable HTCLockscreen.apk and you will get stock lockscreen with lock screen widgets.
Apparently worked for someone in the ARHD thread but doesn't work for me, stock lockscreen shows but no lock screen widgets.

Only works if you dirty flash from 4.1.1 rom to a 4.2.2 rom. Most people couldn't get the phone to boot though.

Yep this worked for me, but I did dirty flash, I don't confirm if that's the reason it worked though.
The novelty of dash clock had worn off for me though useful as it is.
Not sure if you mean you're disappointed that HTC didn't include stock widgets, but you could try out Widget Locker and put other widgets on the lockscreen.
I'm a bit confused. Once I get the 4.2 update I will be able to use widgets like Dash Clock, right? Changing lock screen is no big issue for me as long as it works.

You won't be able to add widgets to your lockscreen. That's just how HTC did it. Even if you remove their lockscreen. Only way to get widgets will be if you use widgetlocker.

Hi!
I've just flashed the new 4.2.2 and when i looked at the promissing lockscreen widget i was and i am confused.
I can see 7digital and a bunch of my Fancywidget widgets and Google, where are ALL my other widgets? Why so few?
I can live with that i can't scroll to the left and right for more pages (seems very strange to me anyway) but hey, i though ALL widgets could be put on my lockscreen...
Wait so the new lockscreen style "Widget" doesn't allow for Dash Clock to be placed on it? That's so bunk =/
