[Q] [Help] Elelinux 3.1 (2.3.5) missing widgets?

Hey guys I wanted to make this post in the forum for his rom but I'm so new it won't let me so I thought I'd do it here. I have just today rooted my HTC Hero GSM phone and installed the new v3.1 rom from elelinux. Everything works fine but I'm just missing 2 widgets.
When I was running v2.1-update1 i had it so that one of the home screens had a full screen bookmark widget and another one had a full screen (well I mean so big you couldn't actually place another shortcut or anything on that screen) widget for my text messages. I know that the rom has both txt message app and a bookmarks section in the browser but before I could put both of these on the home screens and when I go to widgets from the home screen those two are missing from the list.
Can anyone help me out how to find it if I am missing it, or can you point me in the right direction?

I think those are sense widgets you refer to. Won't get these on aosp but there are similar alternatives on the market

I have the same issue... and I don't think it's related to Sense apps. I have tried to download, for example, "Laik Agenda widget", that works perfectly in other non-sense android phones, does not appear in the list.
I have also tried with 4 or 5 different calendar widgets, and no luck.

I had a same problem.Are you using elelinux ROM like OP?If you do, then go to settings>applications>manage apps>choose widget that you want and tap on it> then tap move to phone and thats it.That was the problem when I couldnt see some widgets, downloaded from market, in the list.

WIUI Customization (Tips for new MIUI users?)

Hello! I have just flashed WIUI GB stable and as i'm new to MIUI i have a few questions about how stuff is done :cyclops:
First, I can't get the calendar widgets to work. The calendar app works, reads my google calendar, but if I try to place a calendar widget it doesn't find any event to show. Anyone else with this problem?
Second For some reason the launcher force closes since something I did (I was installing apps and it just started Force Closing) so I just installed MiHome to keep with the Miui feel.
I really like the way MiHome folder looks, but I think it is also slower than Launcher Pro for example, is there a way to get this same folder feeling on other launchers?
Third customization of stuff like battery bar (which is cool, but I would prefer something that changes colour depending of percentage for example) I've found extended controls but i am afraid that is for normal miui? not for wiui?
Edit: Also way to change LED notification colour by app ?
And finally, any tips for new miui users? cool theme webpages? thanks

I to installed this ROM yesterday and it's been working great until I installed Gmail from the market. I wanted 2 seperate icons for email, 1 for work and the other for my gmail. It started "Force Closing" immediately after install. I tried the LauncherPro and don't like the way it looked, I love the regular MIUI look! Only difference between JostVice and I is I'm running the v4 JB 2.9.27 Froyo. I'm a noob when it come's to all this if it helps saying! Am I missing somethig I should be doing or should not have done?

Don't use the v4 for now , give it a couple of months to stabilize . Fc s are common . Go the wiui page and get the latest Gb stable version , you won't be able to tell the difference

Yes the new GB rom has the Control Panel that includes options about the top bar!
But still I get the launcher force-close and i think it may be related to installing new apps and their icon appearing. very weird.
I also would like some option to tweak led notification color by app like in CM7

Widget Resizing

I can't seem to get the widget's to resize. I'm using ADWLauncher EX. On the infinty which I also had that launcher, if I wanted to stretch out a widget to fill more space I would just hit resize and drag it and the widget itself would get bigger and fill in the space, however on the Nexus the widget won't resize. Does anyone know a solution to this?

Widgets (in my experience) can be resized with stock launcher and Apex Launcher. I imagine Nova Launcher can also do it. Not entirely sure about any other launcher though, or why it wouldn't work with ADWLauncher + Nexus 10 :/

I am use the Apex Launcher
I can't residze only eWeather HD widget with apex but I can resize it with nova. WHY?

I figured it out, for whatever reason the allow resize widget option became unchecked in adw. Maybe you just need to find that option in apex and enable it.

Where is this option? I can't seem to find it and am experiencing the same problem.
[google brought me here]

Nevermind I got it. In case anyone else stumbles upon this thread with the same issue, you go to
ADW Settings > System > Advanced Settings > then check the option called "Overlap Widgets". This will allow you to resize the widgets to your specific liking.

Glad you figured it out.

Anybody else getting lag using the Google Now 4x4 Widget?

Was there an update or something? Because all of a sudden the widget completely destroys my battery and FPS when scrolling on the Google Now Launcher. I got rid of it and now everything works fine. Im on stock no root and have factory reset like 5 times until i figured out it was the widget.
Edit* To replicate, try using the G Now 4x4 widget using the Gnow Launcher and try scrolling on the launcher.

Yes - I'm having the same sort of problem on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 following an update yesterday (25th Feb). If I have the 4x4 widget installed in Nova Launcher, then it crashes and lags like crazy. If I remove the widget, then it's all fine.
Will just have to hope that Google become aware of the problem, and fix it quickly.
Cheers,
Steve.

Same problems here. Nexus 6P with Nova launcher too. I had to uninstall updates to the Google app, then update to a version from a few days ago (5.9.33.19), and now all is good again (including widget). Hope an update fixes the issues soon.

Im gonna guess that this only effects people who are beta testing the Google app.

Actually I was getting some lag I thought was from Nova Launcher. Also the C-SPAN App was stuttering if it was not in the foreground. I deleted the widget and everything is back to normal.

i think i was getting the same problem too. phone was laggy and also google now was draining my battery big time

Weather in clock widget in Nova launcher... did it before, how?

I've tried 7.0 and went back to 6.0, starting from scratch in the process and I'm trying to add this widget to Nova launcher. It seems impossible now and according to the internet is was never possible. However, I'm sure I did it before, as I have a screenshot here:
i.imgur .com/KtLNzqS.png
Can anyone help? I'm positive this is not a 3rd party app.

I didn't think you could add native widgets to alternative launchers. I have Nova launcher and use HD Widgets for my weather and clock on the home page.

Apparently no one thinks so, but I did it, with proof right there... I just have no idea how I did!

It was possible. I did that too with my S7. It disappeared after upgrading to Nova 5.0

A way round the clock weather issue
I too had this problem. After many attempts I added a stock nova weather widget on the right and a stock clock widget on the left. It seems OK to me. Some resizing necessary to achieve the desired effect.
