[Q] 1x1 Widgets and Text - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been dealing with an annoying fact about 1x1 widgets. They are 1x2 in practice since they contain text, and i dont see much sense on that.
Is there anyway i can get rid of the text, here's my home screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
please note that i wouldnt want to remove the text from the weather widget, im strictly interested on removing the text from the tiny ones that look like icons.
PS, in case somebody wondering:
Weather Widget: 1Weather Widget
Wallpaper: Astronomy Picture of the Week uses NASA's APOD

Lads, anyone?

Look into custom launchers like Apex or Nova - I am using Apex Pro and I have a 4x5 grid with keeps much tighter spacing on text (you can go higher than that, it is all just a matter of personal preference).

So do i, that is Apex Pro there and been an Apex user ever since ICS on my S2. The grid may apply to the icons for what you suggest but it doesnt do anything with 1x1 widgets that look like icons.
I've tried resizing it since Apex supports that, but it wont do it.

A week of googling and it seems this is neglected to the max, im puzzled why people would want text on a 1x1 widget.
In case somebody runs on this with an answer, please dont hesitate to revive the thread.

Your best bet would probably be to decompile widget and to edit the Xml file that had the text or edit the color to be the same as the background color so it just blends in. It would still be there persay but you wouldn't see it cause it would blend in. If you get what I'm saying

Great theme. Thanks for all your work.
Weather
Does anyone know how they got the weather to display the next 4 days within the tf3d tab instead of having to go to a different screen?
Hey - just installed it, it looks amazing. I had some issues that were the purpose of this post, but I reflashed my ROM, made a few setting changes and tried again. Issues resolved.
For the person that asked about wallpaper, I think that because this uses a panoramic wallpaper, you have to actually overwrite manila files to change it. Search "pano" or panorama.
Flashing to a ROM that uses HD manila will allow the four days of weather on the main screen. If there are other ways to do it, I don't know about them.
Hia thank for your work. I've a problem in fact in home my clock remain on "am 0.00" all time. Why? How can i resolve?
somone know where to find the font that he uses in the theme? i can't find it anywhere, help if u can, thx in advance!!

[Q] Where can i find this clock/weather widget?

Hey guys, got a little question i hope you can answer!
I'm after the clock/weather widget in this screenshot from the Shadowfrost theme

I've seen it in a few places.
I understand the clock is the simi clock and the weather is fancy widgets (which i have both) but i'm not sure how to get them looking like they do in the above screeny.
When i try and apply a skin to the fancy widgets 4x1, it doesn't seem to take affect and just looks like it did to start with.
Also, how do you get the long line to part through both widgets? I know you can stretch the simi clock down but it won't let me use the same line to seperate the fancy widget.
Thanks in advance
Matt
you need luncher pro (you can change widget`s size) , place simi clock on the same end, and just stretch over other widgets
Thanks for the reply. I've already tried doing that but it won't let me because the widgets will conflict with each other, won't let me overlap them.
Also, does anyone know why when I apply a skin to beautiful widgets weather, it doesn't work, it just remains the same.

This shouldnt be the case with Launcher Pro.
If you can setup all of your widgets on the screen, while leaving enough space for the clock widget in its default size you should be fine. As all you do then is press, hold and release the clock widget the stretch it over the other widgets.
The only problem you will run into is then if you wish to manipulate one of the other widgets or the clock widget its self you will have to either remove the clock widget entirely first, or drag it to an empty screen, resize it and drag it back once you have made the required changes.
Hope this helps, was probably written in half jibberish.
Check my signature.
Oh and make sure your SD card is mounted. All Beautiful skins are downloaded to your SD card, so if it's unmounted you'll be stuck with the standard skin.
Thanks again guys, managed to sort it.
For some strange reason i thought i was already using LauncherPro (got the Ultimate Droid rom). Bought LauncherPro Plus and it worked straight away
Thanks again!

How to change launcher icons?

I hate the icons that motoblur uses for the stock apps on the phone (camera, dialer, browser, etc.). I have been searching all over for a solution but cant find anything. I'm using Launcher Pro Plus and want to know how I can change the icons that show up in the app drawer to the stock Froyo icons. Thanks!
you can probably download a theme icon pack for lp+
at least on adw that's what i can do..
Go Launcher let u change it with ease
Widget locker

root your phone, download ninjamorph, load up blur-res.apk, find ic_launcher_(app you want to replace).png from an AOSP rom and use it to replace the one in blur-res.apk in ninjamorph. finish project. done.

it's real simple. find some icons you like and place them on your sdcard. On your homescreen (if you are using Launcher Pro), long press a blank area, and choose "Shortcuts". then, at the top of that screen, choose "Applications". Once you find your application (say Maps), then click the old icon above the app name and you can browser your gallery app for a replacement icon. click the icon you want to use as a replacement then click ok. now you have a different icon for that app on your homescreen. This is the easiest way to do it without editing your framework-res files, etc. NOTE: this only changes the icon on the homescreen, it will still be the original icon in the app drawer. It takes a bit of time to do this, but well worth it IMO.
EDIT: I just re-read your OP, this won't change the icon in the app drawer, only the homescreen... [/facepalm]

[Q] Help wanted with lockscreen mod

Hi
I tried editing the lockscreen png files to get something similar to the honeycomb lockscreen. It involves replacing the jog_ png with blank ones. But a couple of things get ruined. The screenshots describe them better. I have no clue how to fix them. Could someone please assist?

I know, thanks. But I wouldn't have posted the problem here if i was able to figure it out. The thing is, all of the ones are indeed properly replaced with transparent ones. But the old one crops up in the answering screen! So I guess its using a different image from the phone.apk
you are going way too advanced...i have no idea either...im not theming anymore too
well if you use widget locker and just go to xda and search widget locker themes then there a lot of honeycomb themes you can apply to widget locker you can even make your own theme for widget locker its eazy just take the zip file from existing theme and unzip and mod the existing png files

Yeah, I'd love to just go to one of my screens and just start writing. But I can't find that thumbtack button. Here, i found a better picture. Do you see it on yours?
Nope, weird. Closest is long pressing the note within SNote and it gives me an option to send to home as a shortcut...but no pin.
I just saw a similar post in another thread... are you using the stock TW launcher? If you are using a replacemnet launcher like Nova, or Google now Launcher, you will lose the thumtack pin feature in action note. Action notess can only be put onto a TW homescreen.
Doesn't work on default launcher either just tried.

Yeah, that's what I thought it was before I posted this thread. Unfortunately, that darn button won't show up in stock launcher either. I'm thinking it's a different apk??
Maybe ? My Tmo firmware update already hit soon as I turned on don't know if it was there prior.
Ok I got it. From reading a similar thread, they're saying you need a reboot for the pin to show once you switch to touchwiz. I did not do the reboot so it was still missing even with touchwiz.
I'm also going to let nova launcher devs know this issue so they can fix it. For now I'm just going to use the action memo in the minimized form.
Did you get an answer from them?
