[Q] S5 Weather Widget doesnt display properly in other launchers - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm surprised not to see any posts on this.... if you use Apex or Nova and then add the stock weather widget it works but its really zoomed in. For example when its a clear night outside there is a nice picture of a lone tree with a starry sky above it. But on the other launchers its zoomed in on a small section of the sky and you cant even tell there is supposed to be a tree in it. I have the same grid size on both/all launchers and have tried both bigger and smaller grids but always with the same result.
Is there a way to make it work?

I couldn't so I tried a few which are nice.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devexpert.weather

Yeah we've looked through most of those... unfortunately my wife seems pretty set on the stock one

Maybe I'll try the dev of the Launchers as I'm sure they would know what is going on

No response from the Devs (didnt expect one).... if anyone finds anything the info would be greatly appreciated

The first one, EZ Weather HD Beautiful Widget actually looks like a widget which wasn't designed in 1996.
Great find young sire.

Looking for a weather widget

I'm trying to fill a specific need.
Before this i had a Ibex Flytouch 3. It lasted 4 days from new before the battery exploded and melted it to scrap.
BUT - it had a very nice weather widget that shows time and weather from lots of world places. Specifically Newbiggin-by-the-sea, Northumberland, UK.
No other weather app I've seen shows Newbiggin, the closes is Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland. OK, the weather will be the same, but I'd like to see Newbiggin listed and shown.
I've got the apk from the FT files, and it installs and runs as a widget, but I can change the settings (It used to be a tap on the widget would open its settings window, tapping it widget on my A500 does nothing).
Anyone know how to make it allow settings, or of a weather widgety that shows Newbiggin?
try beautiful widget...
I'll try him, thanks.
Palmary weather does the job I need, but it add TOO many widgets - I just want one simple little thing - why do they have to bloat things out so much?
In that case, you can use the basic widget available on the Acer.
But beautiful widget offers choice of different widgets from simple to sophisticated...
well the ACER one is not finalize... cut the text on the bottom...
and concerning beautifull.... hummm no comment.
Ressource eating, too much things.... but normal it's meant to be like this
but I will release asap my widget, minimalistic, nothing more than temperature, and simple graphic... just need too study more about Java

Don't get me wrong, i don't mind sophisticated..
I just don't want all the other widgets still installed after I've got the one I want running.
It's good it gives you a choice - it just needs to delete the ones I don't choose.

Thanks for the link.
I've already tried it - the water live wallpaper works fine and looks great, but the weather app/widget fails (installs, but on run force closes all the time).

Seeking Full Screen Calendar Widget

Hi all,
I am really interested in a widget that covers all of a Honeycomb screen. I use Pure Grid Calendar widget on my EVO, but right now there isn't a 8x7 or whatever the full size would be.
If you know of such an app, please post!
If you're looking for such an app, please head over to the Pure Grid Idea that I posted and vote!

Looks similar to Pure Grid Calendar. Do you have any screenshots of this on a Honeycomb home screen? Like I said, I'm looking for a full screen widget.

Not a bad widget. With a name like WIZZ, no wonder I couldn't find it.
While it functions as a large calendar widget, it lacks all of the customization and options that Pure Grid has. Hopefully they'll update with a re-sizable widget soon.
I use Touch Calendar. I added the biggest widget on one of the home screens and long pressed it as if I were going to move it or remove it. Instead of moving it, I long pressed until it flashed and then removed my finger. It remained outlined with a blue line. I was then able to drag this blue line and re-size the widget just like with ADW Launcher for example. So I re-sized to a full screen widget.
Wow. I'll give it a try.
When Spb Shell 3D comes out for tablet it has entire home screen panels for calendar, clock, weather, pictures, etc... It wont show in market yet for tablets. But you can see a demo and buy direct from them at www.spb.com. Once you buy you will be given a download link and a serial number. You can also always get the latest version from their FAQ section.
I have used it on my Evo for 3 months and love it. Its really nice to have similar navigation and features between phone and tablet. Id post screenshots but dont have root access. So far this "experimental" SPB Mobile Shell 3D is better than VLT, Launcher Pro, and ADW all together. Its smooth, lots of packed in widgets and features, and limitless home screen panels that you can easily add/remove/switch order.
You have to use for yourself to see it and know it. =)

Touch Calendar looks ugly

[Q] Different Lockscreen Wallpaper

Are there any apps that will allow the lockscreen wall to be independent of the launcher wall for HC?
The GTab 10.1 has this feature built-in. When you select a picture you can set as lockscreen or desktop wall...Haven't seen this anywhere for the Transformer .
Yes. Search the market for lockscreen replacements. Since they are 3re party they can assign their own wallpapers.
Is it called Widget Locker? Even allows customization of the lockscreen for different Widgets

Thanks for the response.
Yea, I actually use WidgetLocker on my Evo, one of the first apps I bought . I should have specified I would like to use the stock HC lock. I'm sure I could make WL look just like it, haven't looked into it.
Clearly it can be done as Samsung built it into the GTab, maybe someone could port that over at some point...
Multipicture live wallpaper does that.

Thanks for the response, I have actually used that before. I just don't like how even if I use a static image, it is considered a Live WP, which I can't stand as it slows everything down ...
Well I'm raising money to port the entire galaxy rom. Currently have $145.
You could throw some money to help the cause.

Scrolling Wallpaper?

I have a rooted kindle using Go Launcher. I've picked a Go Launcher wallpaper but when I swipe to different homescreens the wallpaper does not scroll. Is there a way to get it to scroll?

Were you able to find a solution for this? I know what you mean. I'm running the fire with go launcher, i fixed it so the wallpaper doesn't reset or anything and live wallpapers work. However they do not scroll when switching screens left or right. Anybody out there know how to fix it?
...Didn't want to repost so I just put it down again here.
I've been trying to figure out the wallpaper scrolling since mid december. Sadly I don't know Android well enough to know where the control for it is hidden or what might be missing from the Amazon stock rom that breaks that function. Still poking through CM7 and trying to see which of the thousands of differences is responsible.
Yeah I have been looking it up for a while now too. Will post if I find an answer. It would certainly be welcomed.

Weather Widget and Wallpaper on Fake Leaked Lg G4 Pics

Does anyone know if that widget actually exist? It looks like the best weather widget I've seen. Even the wallpaper is alluring.

It looks indeed nice .I think theres an option for such a widget in the aroma installer of ANHD rom but i am not 100% sure.
It is AccuWeather's stock widget
My accuweather widget doesn't look like that...

I can't seem to find any "ANHD" roms. Can you point me in the right direction?
Well ANHD is not anymore in xda forum. I dont know if i am allowed to post other forums here but you can search in google .
Type "s3v3n androidnow polish forum" in google and its the 4th website.
there is not such thing in the aroma installer. You can only choose, if you want different icons in Smart Notice or if you want it to be transparent
