[Q] Widget Placement Problems on stock rom - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so I have an OCD prob.
On the stock rom (rooted but not stock) I can't get the damn widgets to center on the screen. it's far left or far right. I've tried other home apps and I don't like them. I would prefer the stock rom with centering widgets lol. Is this a setting i an missing or is it just not possible?

I typical widget uses 4 columns but as the stock home app has 5, its impossible to center. :/

Remove colored tiles from TouchWiz App drawer ?

Someone knows an easy way to ONLY remove the colored tiles from TouchWiz drawer that are behind the icons ? i like TW but this colored tiles are annoying... Unfortunately i havnt found anything suitable for Tab yet
I know there is SGS tools from market with replacement TW launcher menu's, one of them being background tile free, im not sure if it works with Tab though?!..

hmmm in SGS tools i found upgrade stock apps --> upgrade tw launcher but not sure if thats the right one...
just tried. it replaces the complete tw version, but one i tried didnt work on SGT, seems only to work for SGS
Download adw, and set it up like touchwiz, but without the tiles

[Q] Miui/Galnet launcher

Hi all,
I've got a little question, i've update to Galnet v3.3 works fine,
but the scroller on the bottom (above the bottom buttons) has disappeared
any idea what I can do?
Cheers,
Wilco
Where did you find this "Galnet" launcher?
the Miui launcher does not have an app drawer. all of your apps will be in the home screens. If you dont like it, install another launcher
Galnet is the ROM you are using right? Do you mean the indicator which shows you which page you are on? It's theme dependant so try changing the theme.

Oh sorry for the confusion!
I updated my galnet rom and this had the standard miui launcher, other co workers have the same version and have the same launcher but at the bottom there is a slider normally do you can quickly
slide to the last home screen, that's gone
Cheers,
waw

Quick Contacts

Is anyone else having issues with the quick contacts widget in alternate launchers? My other stock blur widgets work in Go Launcher except this one. Running Theory's ROM 1.2 if that makes a difference.
Doesn't work for me either in Go Launcher.
I was wondering the same thing. I swear I saw a post stating that the moto blur widgets worked with alternate launchers, but I cant get this widget to work with ADW, LPP or GO launcher.
I like that widget a lot.
Bump... has anyone had any success with getting this to work properly? I actually liked the stock contacts app for the short time I was running the stock launcher.
It would seem it adds the widget, but it's invisible and doesn't function... I am able to long press and delete it with go launcher.
Still no dice in Go Launcher. On the other hand, I have been using this lately and am really liking it.

It actually automatically fills up with contacts based on how recently/frequently you interact with them, pretty nice if you ask me.
Its a blur app and u need the blurred launcher.

That is not true. Other blur widgets work outside of the blur launcher. Also, this widget shows in the list of available widgets from other launchers but when you add it (in my exerience on Go Launcher) it adds an empty space to your screen that you can't say unless you try to put another widget down as it will say the spot is occupied already. You can delete the empty spot though.
Any update on this issue or do those who use alternate launchers just out of luck with this widget?
+1 you need a blur launcher its built into /system/apps it like having a razor blur camera and downloading it and won't work correctly at least from what I have read over the months on alt launcher you pick the widget and it won't even be visable

[Q] tonyp_4 ROM invisible widgets problem

Hi,
I'm having a problem with widgets and app icons on homescreens, after flashing ROM tonyp_4, latest build, had same problem with his build3 aswell...
Why all my widgets and app icons become invisible on main homescreen or any other homescreen when I try to add another widget or app icon on other empty homescreen? I have like 1 clock widget and 6 app icons in my main homescreen, number of homescreens is set to 3, and when I try to add anything on other 2 unused homescreens everything on main screen becomes invisible? It's still there, only invisible, I can still long-press widget for example and drag it around, but when I relise it, it's invisible again...
Any solutions?

[Q] Nova launcher & Sony lockscreen Wallpaper

Had a quick search online and in xda but couldn't find much, few posts on a forum elsewhere.
I'm running nova launcher and can change my home wallpaper with ease. The lock screen is a different matter.
From settings > personalisation > lock screen
I can change to any of the standard Sony wallpapers, if I try and use my own it never changes. Anyone else found this? Have I missed something obvious :s
On .534 as no update for me yet, and no requirement to root yet.
i think this problem on nova launcher. becuase i use go launcher i can change my own pict on lock screen.
try go launcher, i very reccoment go launcher + go notification. with little setting your phone will fast and smooth(i has been use apex after try go ex, i never looking to other >< just my oponion.)

Nah, just cleared the defaults and rebooted. Using the standard Sony home, still can't select any other 3rd party or user wallpaper.
I'll try go in a bit, but if even stock software can't change it then it looks to be a bug?
Edit: no change, didn't think it would. Prefer nova over go from that short test but something to play around with.
Looks like an android issue than launcher
any locksceen app installed?
Sent from my C6902 using xda app-developers app
None at all
I use pattern unlock and the stock lock screen
try to use swipe unlock?
but i has try pattern, i can change my lockscreen bg.
may be something wrong on your setting/rom.
sorry...

Yep, tried that as well. It's stock and not rooted. I've no want to root yet.
Which fw are you on? 534?
Nothing major, I just like to know why Somethings not working etc
factory reset, if not help, flash firmware again...
Sent from my C6902 using xda app-developers app
I'm also running nova launcher and stock .534 but i haven't had a problem switching wallpapers on the lockscreen. I've used camera generated photos and zedge wallpapers.

Sorted it.
I use quickpic as an album replacement app. Cleared the defaults and use the Sony album to crop then pictures and working as it should.
Something between quickpic and the os which didn't talk well I guess.
