I am looking for a widget or app which lets me display a photo on my homescreen and launch and app when clicking it. Really simple, shows any picture I chose, no frame, and allows me to link that picture to any app or setting etc. Is there such a widget?

is there a way to open another app when you tap on the standard asus weather widget?
i tried using tasker but couldnt find a way, any other apps that can do this?
i want ironically to open the accuweather honeycomb app just by tapping on the asus weather widget
this would be great. tapping it to open the weeks forecast.
i stopped using the widget because i noticed that many times when id come back to my home page, the numbers (say 89 deg) was cut off. it was weird, but half og the numbers would end up "cut off" on the screen
I have the same problem, sometimes it's cut in half. But the weirdest thing is: Since the last update the temperature is wrong, about 10 C.
Just to chime in...
I also have the "cut in half" issue often. On top of that I don't get the temp updated on schedule. I set it to every hour and it will randomly update but not every hour. It may not be random, but I haven't spent enough time to determine the pattern.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 has such a widget, which opens the Accu Weather website, when being tapped on.
Search the market place, there's a free Accu Weather widget for Honeycomb with the same functionality, though the design isn't that nice looking for my taste.

It seems to be a bug in the widget, because the system logs say, the Accu Weather servers are unreachable. The widget of my SGS2 always reaches the same servers.

I used to have that, but since using ADW EX Launcher it's a thing of the past. It's almost as if the 'transparent' box which determines the size of the widget somehow becomes smaller so you can get the clean cut on the numbers.
With the ADW EX launcher, you can make the transparent box which controls the overall size of the widget a little bit bigger so you don't get the problem.

In my case the problem with the cut off numbers also didn't happen again ... don't know why. I don't use a different launcher, only a new keyboard. I use the Hackers Keyboard, because it has cursor keys, which come in handy, when answering forum posts

Download "The Weather Channel" app. You can place a widget on one of your screen, tap on the widget to open up the full weather app. I have the said app and works well. Just that the widget isn't as fancy as fancy as Asus' weather app.

Call me paranoid, but I would NEVER install a weather app, that needs the permission to send SMS and make phone calls. Ok, on the TF that's not a problem, but it makes me wonder, what info this app is trying to spy out ... read the details HERE.
I would stay away from this app.
Hello
I'm looking for an app which will change the lock screen wallpaper automatically. I tried the "Wallpaper Changer" from market. But it changes the home screen Wallpapers only. Any app there for lock screen? also I want to use the native lock screen itself. Thanx!
Why don't you try Settings>Display>Screen Display>Lock Screen Wallpaper
or you can go to a image the press the edit button and choose set as lock screen.
At least read the damn post!
The guy is asking for something that automatically changes the wallpaper, I would asume at a predefined or even random time.
@OP
I dont know of any app only for home screen wallpapers though, sorry cant be much of a help.

Yes I know how to change it manually. But wanted it auto like every few minutes or whenever I unlock the screen which would have been cool to look at different lock screen Wallpapers everytime u look at the screen
well thanx guys. Hope someone will make an app for this!
I use flikie HD to change my homescreen wallpaper, then I choose the lock screen option to change the picture to my wallpaper.which means it changes as per the schedule i set on flikie

Hi,
You can probably do that with "Tasker" but this is not the cheapest app

You can definitely do this with Tasker. As stated though not the cheapest app if this is the only thing you'll use it for. Steep learning curve too. Still, its an option.

It will be nice to select the photo automatically from an local album or even better from Picasa.

Use CM locker, its change your wallpaper daily.. Yes daily that's my problem, I need an app that change my lockscreen wallpaper every hour.
Hi guys, try "Hi Locker" from Lockdown Team. You can change it every 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.
I cant find the flashlight app in Normal mode, but it's right there on the home screen in easy mode. Surely I'm overlooking something because this doesn't even make sense. Anyone know how to get the default flashlight app in normal mode?
This does not belong here... Q&A...
As for the question it's a widget, not an app, add a widget to the homescreen.

It's a widget toggle.
It's in the settings folder inside the widgets.

You can use Quickclick app to map the volume button to open the flashlight...

There is a free app on Google play store called "DU recorder" that I'm using is very good if you want to check it out.

Hey guys, as the title say, im searching a special widget for the weather on home screen. It looks similar to the Standart samsung weather widget, but i guess this is not a simple theme. I think it is a seperate app or whatever..maybe launcher Design for this.
Maybe someome can help me to find this.
You can See what i mean on the attached Screenshot on the right side. Or on the right Device.

Why don't you try Xwidget on playstore. It got tons of widget from other launchers into one app. Maybe what you want is in there.
