Hey guys, here's a much improved alpha 2: Play Store Link
I am currently on a trip so will reply to comments and update main post when I get a chance
Small easter egg in this version: long click drawer to change to a 2nd home screen for your enjoyment. More coming soon!
EDIT: updated first post and switched to Play store link
It looks like the play store link hasn't updated yet..if its not active by tonight I'll upload a version elsewhere.
edit: Link has been updated

Hiding the drawer icon is definitely something I'm considering However I have a few ideas to improve it as well, perhaps a sort of "quick launch bar" in a row where the icon is currently located.

No problem buddy! Im trying to find more bugs and ways to make it better...Last night when I downloaded the APK and tried to install it my phone wouldn't let me cuz it said "App not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed." The way I tried to install it was using Root Explorer and just over writing the app by installing the new APK but i guess something is going wrong with the signature cuz ive never seen this happen...so I just went to the playstore and uninstalled it from there and re-installed the new copy from there....But i still have one more issue. Whenever you install a new launcher from the play store and immediately after you click the home button the OS prompts you which launcher do you want to use..i have 3 launchers installed (Nova, Chameleon, & Tile) But the OS never prompts me which launcher do I wanna use...
UPDATE: Alright so I got it working now. Android now prompts for the launcher >>> https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvZDNKY21yV282TGM
But one more bug I found is that whenver you go to the widgets in the app drawer and you drag for example Airdroid 4x1 Widget Tile Launcher crashes.
This is extremely promising... Keep this up, if you play you're cards right, you may just have the most "innovative" launcher out there

Hmm ok. Are you on ICS? Dropping widgets is still being worked on, added it to the known issues list now.
As for prompting for the launcher, it should prompt you every time you install a new launcher, strange if it didn't. It's possible to go to Apps -> Your current home launcher -> Clear defaults to make it prompt if that happens again.
I'll be returning home this weekend, hope to get a new build out soon Cheers

i love this launcher!!
here some ideas:
- make it more flexible (the user no more needs to sets numbers of colums and rows)
then:
- option to choose min tile size (width and height)
- option to choose from horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling in home
- option to choose paginated scrolling (regardless scrolling orientation) in home
- drawer categories
- option to enable google search bar near the app drawer button
- option to replace the launcher menu in app drawer with google play shortcut (or another app)
- fix custom color (can't set a custom hex color on nexus s cm10)
add these features even in a paid version and i'll buy it
keep it on!!
Hey all
Hope you can help. I'm running stock Android 4.2.2 unrooted. I downloaded DashClock and added it to my lock screen, however when I press the power button to look at the lock screen the widgets are really small next to the clock rather than full screen. If I swipe to the left and then back to the lock screen, the widgets go full screen. Any idea on how to make the widgets permanently full size like the picture below.

I'm afraid you need root to do this. I am running Paranoid's latest build and there is the option to make widgets go full screen in lockscreen.

So there's a couple things about this question:
First, any widgets that you have in your first lockscreen by default are minimized to make room for your lock circle. If you just drag down on the widget, it will maximize your widget at the expense of your lock circle, which then has to be tapped to be brought up again. This is the behavior that you are seeing when you swipe away and then swipe back.
Second, if you want, some custom ROMs (namely cm and PA, but possibly others) have recently implemented an option to have your widget be expanded by default. So if that's what you're looking for, I would start there. Unfortunately, this feature is not available on stock so you will have to root your phone.
Hope that helps.

Actually, my bad. I assumed that DashClock's lockscreen widget is the same as it's homescreen widget. Apparently they're different. If you use WidgetLocker, you'll only be able to see the full homescreen widget.
To see what I mean, add the DashClock widget to one of your homescreens and compare that to what you see on the lockscreen...

I’m going to contradict myself here. I just realized that if the homescreen version of the DashClock widget is resized to be larger, it becomes identical to the lockscreen version of the widget.
Unfortunately, for some weird reason, if you try the same with WidgetLocker, the widget still looks like the compact version.
So, WidgetLocker is not the way to go for this. Sorry!
just for the record it is aokp's feature. very nice idea indeed.

Before you go rooting and installing all sorts of weird stuff, try swiping Down on the Dashclock widget on the lockscreen, that might give you the results you want

Nope, doesn't work for me.
Its a shame that stock Android doesn't have the option to maximize the lock screen widgets. I won't root and add a custom rom so it's a no go area for me unfortunately. Google if you're reading this please add that option!

This is how dashclock was designed and unfortunately you have to pull down the screen to get full access. Not sure the developer will change this or at least make an option to change this in future versions. You could always try and contact the developer and ask him to include this as an option, his Google+ account would be a good place to start.

I don't have G+ or twitter account and don't want to create one. I'll just wait and see if this is implemented in future.
If you are running PA (15th feb) go to hybrid properties -> swipe right -> tools -> turn on expert mode. Now go to interface and reduce lockscreen down to something like 190dpi. This should enable you to see the widget in full screen on the lockscreen. At least this is what worked for me.

I was able to get the widget to display full mode with two rows of info perfectly using the following settings on PA:
250 DPI lockscreen (turn on expert mode)
260 DPI dashclock widget
Keeps the overall size reasonable for both pattern unlock and widget size.

Hey guys,
I love the DashClock widget and use it on my lockscreen as well as my homescreen. However, I feel that having the big clock on the homescreen is redundant and unnecessary. At the current moment DashClock does not have an option to disable the actual clock (that I am aware of). So I am looking for something that is essentially the same as DashClock but with just the notifications and no clock.

No problem. Transparency for the homescreen widget (I don't actually use there, just put it there for the screen cap), I believe is controlled / set via the 'Advanced' option in the widget setup.

Right now it's removed wholesale, as it was a quick and dirty hack. Let me take a look and see if there is a way to discern where the widget is being displayed and programatically hide the clock instead.

Do you have location services disabled?
The widget queries for your location, in order to translate that location (latitude / longitude), into a woeid, that it then passes to yahoo weather to retrieve the weather data.
You can view your logcat to see the widget working to obtain your location etc, to know if it is working. For example, here is essentially the URL call being made on my phone:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=24700990
Are you able to access this URL from your phone? If so, there shouldn't be any reason weather can't be retrieved based on your location / woeid, unless yahoo simply can't find a valid location based on the data passed in.
EDIT: Well hell, I starting replying to this, got sidetracked, came back to finish, hit submit, and see it was essentially already answered

Okay, played around with the decompiled .smali code some more (rather than working from source), and I was able to "conditionally" control / set whether the clock & date appears based on whether the widget is displayed on the lockscreen versus home screen.
Lockscreen (with clock / date):
Home Screen (w/o clock / date):
This should pretty much be what you are looking for. As mentioned, I don't use this on the home screen, but for those that do, until / if this is supported in the actual app, it should hold those over looking for the widgets w/o the clock, etc, when displaying on the homescreen.
It's certainly possible I broke something in the process, hacking this in, so let me know if you see any issues.
Be sure to first uninstall your official version, and after installing the modded apk below (click to download / install from phone, or use adb to sideload), don't forget to hide the 'settings' icon in the Advanced drop down of dash clock widget as well.

Thank you so much. I am uninstalling the official one and giving this one a try right now. I will report back after doing some testing.
EDIT: I just went through the process of uninstalling the official widget, clearing cache/dalvik and then rebooting and installing your tweaked version. It looks to be working perfectly as advertised. I have the clock on the lock screen but not on the homescreen. I have tested notifications for email, missed call, and text messages. All are working just as they should.
Thanks a lot!

Give notification widget a try
Wrong thread
until now i had the Sensation XE.
and now in the One i am missing some basic things that were so great before !
1. weather widget. was so cool before.
2. calendar widget. used to be full screen, now 4X1 only
3. Mail - i have multiple accounts. each had different color.
its still the same in sense 5.0 but now they use the color to tell you if its an unread mail. after you read it - you lose the color.
now i have a list of emails and cannot know which email came from which account.
4. Mail - Delete email. used to navigate to the next one. now it just returns to the list of emails. very annoying.
5. clock widget - used to show my current location. now just says "Current Location"
i am sure i will find some more annoying stuff, and i dont like it one bit.
anyway to sort the above problems ?
yea, they removed a lot of good features. You listed most, but they also left out the SMS widget.
They really just have no idea.....
my most important widget was the people widget, if that was gone, i have no reason to get sense, but yes i do miss the others like sms
Can somebody post the people & sms widget from sense 4.5? Sense 5 still has m10 libraries so we might be able to port it with minor tweaking.
It still has sense 4's clock and weather widget. It doesn't have the bloaty one from sense 3 though

And the mail widget isn't 4x1.. it's 4x3.
I wish the screen was 5x4 instead of 4x4.

He means the agenda calendar widget. There's no 4x4 widget any more.
Not sure where else to ask this, but something that is annoying me about the (otherwise excellent) Sense 5 stock mail app is that when you receive a notification about a new message arrival and you respond to the notification, it simultaneously switches focus to the mail app *and* opens and displays the first unread message.
I think I'd rather see the list of messages in my inbox and decide for myself if I want to open one or which one to open.
I'm pretty sure Sense 2.1 did not do this.
I have looked for a setting that controls this but could not find it.

I have extracted the "Calendar Widget.apk" Sense 4+ edition from my HTC One X.
But when I want to install it on my HTC One, I get the following message: "An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
Somebody knows how to solve this?

htc watch, not that I used or that is is missing from sense 5 but the service will be terminated in Holland but now that I got a medialink it finally became useful
the weather graph
locate my phone/ring phone etc (long gone already from sense 3 or something) but I still miss it
And isn't it possible to change the name and signature of the extracted apk? So the original one can stay installed...
Slightly OT, but was the Sense Mail app any good in last versions of Sense? I keep seeing people praising the Sense 5 version when I just find it really awful. It doesn't have pinch to zoom, the checkboxes in the list view have a smaller area to hit than the AOSP one, and every email I get I have to click download images--it doesn't give an option to always download images from this sender like the stock one does.
Only missing the sms widget :/

Sense apk's won't install. You'll just have to replace the apk in /system/app.
What about location/footprints app? I could understand it's not there (in Sense 5) any more!
From the first preview to 1.29 somewhere in between they removed the ability to EDIT effects individualy in the gallery app, removed the option to hold back button for menu, boomsound is somehow not as loud, but camera have better color management. Seriously what the F, HTC, they seems to take 1 step forward and then 2 step backward, this is like with the old One X when all beats profiles has been removed as the software gets updated
Wait 2 more weeks for Sense 5.1 with JB 4.2.2.
The way I see it, people were bugging HTC to de-bloat their Sense and they did just that.
And I can tell from history that they change Sense every time.
Adding and removing parts of it. Perfecting it.

until now i had the Sensation XE.
and now in the One i am missing some basic things that were so great before !
1. weather widget. was so cool before.
2. calendar widget. used to be full screen, now 4X1 only
3. Mail - i have multiple accounts. each had different color.
its still the same in sense 5.0 but now they use the color to tell you if its an unread mail. after you read it - you lose the color.
now i have a list of emails and cannot know which email came from which account.
4. Mail - Delete email. used to navigate to the next one. now it just returns to the list of emails. very annoying.
5. clock widget - used to show my current location. now just says "Current Location"
i am sure i will find some more annoying stuff, and i dont like it one bit.
anyway to sort the above problems ?

Hi dude,
I disagre with points 2 & 5
2, you are able to add a calendar 2*3 and modify its size.
5, Which clock are you using? mine is : weather clock 4*2 and I get my location and not: current location.
But yeah I miss an other point!
Scrolling Wallpaper is missing a lot! and 4*5 grid for the homescreen too!
I don't want to change launchers because Nova doesn't have transparent status bar or nav bar on the G2, and I haven't found anything on Xposed that does it on a different launcher.
But I'd like to be able to change the app drawer icon on the home screen. "Icon changer" from the play store works great on the stock launcher, except for the app drawer.
Any ideas?
I changed it manually via the theme apk.

G2 Xposed works great for transparency on Nova. I'm using it right now and I have 100% transparency for both my navbar and my statusbar.

I'm using G2 exposed. But only get transparent notification bar. Are you using stock color in G2 settings or something else?
My notification bar is transparent but navbar is black. Are you using stock Nova or beta?

I am getting the same thing. I want the nav bar to be transparent but it's black (or whatever other color I choose). Notification bar is transparent.
Any ideas??

Try using a the multi photo wallpaper, thats the only way I've been able to get transparent nav bar with xposed on nova
No issue here. Nova prime (not like that should matter for this) g2 settings with xposed and transparency set to 0 (that means 100% transparent)I'm using just a regular wallpaper from my gallery without cropping. I used black for the color which only appears in apps. Otherwise the home screen nav and status bar are completely transparent.

I got it! You need to enable transparent navbar in BOTH gravity box (downloaded through Xposed installer) and in G2 Exposed.
Using Nova beta.
Works like a charm.

Are you rooted? Do you know how to extract/compile apk's? Do you have a file explorer with access to mount the system as read/write?
Yes i am rooted and on stock rom, i have ES File Explorer, but dont know know how to decompile or compile the apk.

This is standard procedure. But it doesn't apply to the app drawer icon. Have you actually tried it?

Make a copy of your theme that you're using and put it on your desktop
use this software to change the apk to a rar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108798
then extract the rar using free software like 7zip or tugzip
find the app draw icon (2 of them, one is labeled "pressed") in the following location: res\drawable-xxhdpi\
replace those 2 icons with your preferred icon
use 7zip/tugzip/similar to zip the folders back
then use the above software to convert the zip back to an apk
put back on your phone using file explorer replace the old apk with the new apk and give it the right permissions
if you did it all right once you hit "home" the phone should refresh the stock theme/interface and wala you have a new app drawer icon
Will try it out as soon as posibl and will let you know, thanks for taking the time.

No luck here bro. After doing everything you mentioned to the best of my limited abilities lol i put the framework-res.apk back in the phone with root explorer, it asked me if i wanted to overwrite it and as soon as i clicked yes it rebooted and got hung up on the boot screen and no matter what i did i could not get it to load back up so after a while i ended up restoring from a backup. I guess im just not Knowledgeable enough for this and though i hate to give up i don't want to mess anything up either, i designed quite a lot of themes on iOS in the last couple of years but im just not Knowledgeable enough on Android to do so
. If you (jim_0068) ever have some time to kill and want to take a shot at a more barnie style walk through with me i would forever be greatful if not then no big deal i still appreciate you taking the time thus far, thanks.
