[Q] Stock Android Widgets now 3x1. How dot I fix this? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If any of you have GEL installed, you would know that the Google Play Music widget that was 4x1 is now 3x1. I am assuming this is to do with the DPI changes. How do I fix this?
Also it would be good if the icons were smaller.
Screenshot as a reference.

If memory serves me right, by pressing and holding on the Homescreen, you'll see a settings menu for GEL. That might solve your problem.

Nope sorry. The settings come up, but they are settings for google search as opposed to the actual launcher.

Is there anything in the regular Settings menu for this?
if not, you might want to try an alternative Launcher. There is one on google play that looks just like GEL : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kk.launcher

Seconded, infinitely customizable.
Stock lock screen is pony.

Definitely go for Widgetlocker.
Widgetlocker!!! its brill
Like others have said, Widget Locker is probably the best. It's available for $0.99 in the Amazon App Store and it's one of their best selling apps (that's how I found out about it).
Thanks guys, just got it. agreed its the nuts!
the other little thing pissing me off, cant customise the powercontrol widget.
Anyway to get WidgetLocker to not unlock with home key press?

Yes, it got something to do with homehelper.
Go to advanced settings/homehelper/ and check the boxes for 'Homehelper Block Home & Block Home In Other Apps'.
That did the trick for me.

Hey, thanks! I never knew about that, but now I do thanks to you!
Same but I want something which works with Samsung's music player's lockscreen widget.
Where I don't need to unlock phone to change tracks, pause /play etc.
Anyone got any ideas???
You can change the background under Settings > Display > Screen display > Lock screen > Wallpaper

WidgetLocker has full widget capabilities. As long as it's a standard widget that can be added through the widget menu, you should be fine to add it to the WidgetLocker screen.

extended controls (0.99)
I'm using the stock android pattern lockscreen.
when I enable widget locker it appears an icon in the notification tab. Is there a way to remove that?

Extended Controls. Market search it. It is the best one you could ever imagine. It does cost, but I bought it (and I am one cheap-skate! ) Great app. Allows you to easily make the powercontrol widget, with a number of themes, or icon packs. Very useful app.
I remember when I bought it, there are a number of different apps that do the same thing. But this one just looked the best at the time, so have a quick read of the info on each app.

how do you disable the info in others screens?

As the title say, want to disable the "draw an app or widget" note on the empty screen so i can have a good full size wallpaper, thanks in advance

Are you talking about your home screen? If yes, then you should try using different launchers such as Apex or Nova.

Yeah, the home screen, so, that's the only solution? No way to remove that notification? I dont like launchers

Well if you somehow find a modified LGHome.apk or an Xposed Module that removes the "drag an app.." message, then you're in luck. If the reason why you don't want to use launchers is that the icons looks different then you can easily apply this LG launcher theme so you can feel "at home"

Problem with third party launcher?

Is anyone experiencing this with a third party launcher, Nova launcher to be exact?
When I click the multi-task button (say, to adjust the brightness), I can't get back directly to the Home screen. If I press the Home or Back key, it takes me to the last app I was using (even when I came from the Home screen).
I went back to the Stock launcher and did not have this issue.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

Hello, you are not alone. I have experience the same thing. I submit the feedback to leeco and they cannot reproduce the problem you and I have. I even attached the video and show it to them. Still nothing. Are you also experience red screen when power to turn off the screen? You can see it on light background or app is running in front of you. Just wondering. Take a look at this thread I have talk to le engineer about this. http://bug.letv.com/us/ue/feedback/detail/A20165FC11YTC20

You're also having this issue with Stock launcher? I only experience this with Nova.
And for the red screen issue, I just tried a few times with light background apps and did not see it.

Yes, it was weird at first. Now it is fine. I still have problem with nova. Take a look in this thread I post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-red-screen-occur-t3511080 I attached the slow motion video zip in there, you will see what I am talking about.
I have the same problem as well but I can confirm its from having nova as a greenified app.

Mine is also on 5.19 US. I may try to reinstall Nova and see if it resolves the issue. Can you please confirm something for me? Do you have the Uninstall button activated when you go to the App Management for Nova? Mine's grayed out so I can't do a normal uninstall from App Management.

Go to open by default and clear default. The uninstall button is not grey out anymore.
That's strange. I don't have this issue with nova launcher or stock launcher.

I did this and the uninstall button is still grayed out. I even set the launcher back to the Stock one.
I went to the Play store and try to uninstall from there, but instead of Uninstall button, I see a Deactivate. I clicked on it and it says "Nova is a Device Admin and must be deactivated before it can be uninstalled". Any idea on how I can deactivate it?
Nevermind, I found it.

Go to system setting. Click on fingerprint & password. Then tap on Other security options. Then Device administrators. On it, you should able to see nova launcher on the list and deactivate it.

Guys, he has given the solution long ago. Make sure Nova is being able to run in the background. Disable it on the app protection list and this problem should go away.
Nova Launcher 5.0 breaking recent apps
Updated to Nova Launcher 5.0 (released Dec 13) and it looks like the launcher is now disappearing from the Recent Apps menu again on the Pro3. Did the usual setting checks - enable run in background, disable app cleaning, uninstall/reinstall Nova, reboot etc.
Checking if anyone else has this problem and if there's any new Nova settings that might cause this.
Thanks.

Curious. Have you rebooted your phone since the update from yesterday?
Fair warning - I think mine started to happen after rebooting.

At previous version i didn't notice trouble. On 5.0 I notice. Try to solve.
I notice the difference when looking at recent apps but I don't have any issues with Nova working properly.

any idea on how to set a different lock screen wallpaper?

I've been looking around it doesn't seems to be a way to do that.
Just click and hold on your home screen... Select wallpaper and it will ask you if you have it on home screen, lock screen or both
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
Try that already but I don't get the choice to do it,it just sets the wallpaper for both automatically.

By erased you mean uninstalled right? Was that app straight up uninstallable? Even if I use nova launcher, the lock screen will still be the default one so it won't fix the the problem.
