What sucks though is the ics version of the calendar had a better widget. Not sure why they got rid of the month view..

I think that widget was a Motorola customization. The new widget is just like the one on the Nexus 7. I assume Motorola did away with the customization. I liked the ICS widget better too.

What are the best widgets?

Hey guys,
I've never owned a nexus phone and am struggling to find some decent widgets to fill my screens
Usually my phones come with a whole bunch of them, especially HTC with sense - I love their full screen size widgets.
Would love to see what you guys use.
Please share.
Thanks

I always go with Minimalist style with no eidgets other than a clock.
I use MinimalistText, UCCW, missedit!.

If you're coming from sense and want a clock/weather widget that similar to the sense one, use beautiful widgets

Uccw with moto blur clock, just cause I'm hooked on that style right now. Otherwise beautiful widgets, agenda widget, photo frame widget, stock bookmark widget, that's what i use on my phones.

This is such a waste of the N4's powerful ability to fill every screen full of widgets without any lag. You could've saved $300 and bought an entry-level.

Or you can have a super phone where its power is dedicated to function and steers away from fluff

Are we only limited to certain google app widgets on the android 4.2 lockscreen? Wish we could add any widget on lock screen

Can't add Tapatalk shortcut with nova

Hi, I'm having a problem adding a shortcut from Tapatalk to the nexus 4 forum on my home screen with nova launcher. But my problem is that it won't add in Nova, nothing happens. It works on both the stock launcher and apex launcher. Any ideas?

Not sure how the bumping rules are, but I'm allowed to bump after 24 hours, right? So BUMP!!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I have the same problem.
I can't add shortcuts with nova and lecture notes, but it works with other launchers.

I tried wiping the data for nova so it isn't just a setting we have missed.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

No issues for me, uninstall and reinstall Nova and try it again.

Tried that didn't work. Seems like it gets added to the stock launcher instead, because when I went to the stock launcher to reinstall nova i had a bunch of shortcuts there.

It started working again after an update from nova (a week ago?). Haven't had any problems after that.

[REQUEST] FB Messenger floating head style notifications for SMS

Specifically something that emulates the ability to 'open' a head and reply without entering the app.
I've had Floating Notifications for a little bit on my phone and it's just not what I'm looking for. I also used to use SMS Popup years ago which was quite good but I'd rather something less obtrusive that lets me chose when to see the popup rather than it just appearing and interrupting whatever I'm doing.
Is there anything out there like this? I'm sure I head of something when they first added it to FB Messenger but I can't seem to find anything.
EDIT: I've just installed SMS Extension but I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for.

You need the current version of search and the now renamed Google Now Launcher

You will have to download the launcher yourself. Here's the link- http://www.mediafire.com/?3ina0fd8fwki5fo

Installed this so big thanks to gnotelover, but one question.. How can I add more homescreens?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Select an app or widget, and then move it to the right of the home screen and keep going. A new screen will appear.

You need to move the icon to the edge of the screen to the right, hold it there for a little. It should automatically take you to a new screen.

Thanks guys, human error... I was trying to do it with a widget, but it works with an app, not a widget..

Is this Google Now Launcher the same as the 0.10.1.920880?
Or what is the version number for this new one?

Maybe it's just me, but I tried the launcher and find it pretty lame.

Thanks Jhall8. Do you also happen to know how to stretch wallpapers too? I can't get any wallpaper to fill up the screen even very large high def images.

Thanks again. I've tried that already but didn't bode well with my favorite walls. Tried clearing data in Google search got rid of the black bar on the right of the wallpaper but stretched way too much. Oh well.

Can anyone confirm whether the latest version of Google Search and/or the latest Google Now launcher goes back to the 6 x6 grid that Google search version 3.1.8920880.arm had? Every time I tried updating to new Search version it cuts off one of the columns which throws my whole homescreen setup and wigets off. I think the updates cut it to only 5 columns
