Hi, I've been having this issue for a very long time now, actually ever since I started to use the said music player app. It's an amazing app, no doubt, as it gives you a very good music player with a zune-like ui. The problem I have is with the widget. If you put an Ubermusic widget 4x4 on your screen, and the orientation is in portrait, you'll get 6 buttons: prev, play/pause and next at the bottom of the widget, and playlist, repeat, shuffle on the right side. But for some reason, whenever I rotate my screen into landscape, the last three buttons (playlist, repeat, shuffle) inconveniently disappears.) I tried 'resizing' the widget in landscape to see if it will fix the problem, but I find out that even if you resize it in the maximum size that it can get (10x10), it still won't let you see those buttons IF IT'S IN LANDSCAPE. It functions fine in portrait, but the problem is I always use my device (a NookColor running CM7,) in landscape. I tried this on various launchers as well. I primarily use ADW EX and I tried it in Go Launcher but it still won't solve the problem. I tried contacting the developer, he said that since the widget was designed with phone constraints in mind, it will always be that way. I suggested a widget usable in landscape but he didnt respond. I love this app, and I woukd greatly appreciate it if someone can help me out. Is there any way to modify the APK and correct the widget or at least 'trick' the widget into thinking that it's in landscape? By the way, the widget skin I used was the Clear Widgets Skin (transparent one).

Sorry if this has been asked before. I searched and couldn't find anything.
I bought the Nook Color today and it seems great, but I would love to get rid of the typical android phone dock that auto-installed with launcherpro when I downloaded it from the marketplace. The one with phone, SMS, email.
I haven't gotten side-loading apps to work yet on my Mac, but i'm going to work on it tonight.
The settings for that Dock will be specific to LauncherPro.
I personally use ADW.Launcher, which has an option to totally disable the Dock, or to make it be a single button to open the Apps Drawer.
Thank you. I'll try using it. I basically just want the cleanest dock ever with a few things on it, and then a side page with my apps
Try Zeam. It works the best.. You can configure the dock entirely.
Launcher pro has an advantage in that you can set the grid to 10x10 where in ADW or Zeam the max is 8X8. 10x10 works way better on the nook.
Actually, I fnd that 8x8 works best for launcher pro. 10x10 makes the widgets too small and overflow their their layouts if they were coded in dips rather than px, which most were...

ok, So even though ADW isnt official for HC and you cant get it from the market I was able to side load it and I noticed a glitch. Say if you have either a gmail or email widget on your homescreen (the ones built into hc) and you go to a different home screen and flip the tablet to portrait to landscape of visa versa it wont stay on the current screen, it will flip to the homescreen that has the widgets. When I removed the widgets it would stay on the current screen. So what I did was move the widgets off my default screen to the 2nd screen. I went to different screen and flipped the tablet and this time instead of flipping back to the home screen it flipped back to whatever screen I had the widget(s) on. I tried using JUST the gmail widget and not the email widget and I got the same results, also tried just the email widget and not the gmail and got the same results. So something is causing ADW to go to whatever screen the widget is on when you switch orientation.
Can anyone who has adw confirm if this is happening to you as well?
i havent had that problem but i get a fc trying to use the adw ex email widget. also i do not like how the wallpaper aligns on the screen using the launcher in landscape mode. id rather use the stock launcher because of that one reason. im kinda picky i guess haha
I would love to use dock mode sometimes but it seems so boring.I have searched for ways to change the dock mode widgets with no luck.I am able to change the dock mode shortcuts and the wallpaper but i would rather change the music widget to Google Music Widget.My reason is because my google music don't show up on the dock in the default music widget.Is there any way to change the widgets in dock mode
Running stock ICS 4.0 Sense 3.6 locked.I prefer not to use a different launcher.
I too would like to change the music widget out for FriendStream like in GB. Not that I can see it at night, it is just a better widget than the music which, for me, is a big bunch of nothing on the screen. At least FriendStream is something to look at.
I did find other dock mode screens in the market but this is the only one that will go into dock mode if you are coming from the lock screen (with a PIN).
I have ran across some forums that mention Wave Launcher as a nice dock launcher.
I may try it later on when i feel like spending the $1.99 that is cost

I would so like the ability to change the widget on the widget on the dock screen. I am looking at this all day at work. I much preferred the friend stream. Even better would be a photo slideshow.
I would also like to straight up remove the three launch icons on the bottom.
Does any one know if these things can be done?
I've tried many launchers including Xperia S, GO, holo, etc.. their landscape behavior is same : stretched widgets..
I wanted launcher like SPB shell or nokia belle home, where we can configure different layout for portrait and landscape.. but I don't like SPB, that's too heavy and not matched with android theme..
I really miss my nokia n8 because of the home screen
I think adw

+1 for adw =/)
nothing yet
there is no launcher that can do LOGICAL LANDSCAPE so far to my knowledge.
I've tested almost all of them, and they all just put the portrait configuration into landscape. which messes up the look, leaves large unused space between the icons (when in landscape) and the widgets get squeezed into thin lines of available space and simply become unusable.
so, any other suggestions?
Just turn your head while keeping the phone upright. That gives a good working landscape view.... Well sortof.

Ive found this thread via google because i searched for a better way.. but ill tell you what im using now - which gives a quite satisfiying result - but it requires some workaround
First you need Apex Launcher - i have not found a different launcher which allows to set landscape grid different from portrait
then you can set your widgets and icons like that:
Have fun!
Sorry for the noob question, but as I bought the Galaxy Gear now, I'm still learning about how to customize it and some questions arise normally. I hope the more experienced have patience and understanding to help.
Before using the Null 23, when there was only the Touchwiz, my main screen was a watch that I could choose as analog or digital. If I really wanted to use some function in the Galaxy Gear, enough that I slid a finger at one side and appeared instrument functions. After putting Null 23, the appearance on the handset screen was the same as a normal smartphone (which is great) but I can not leave the main screen with a picture of a clock (analog or digital) as I could when I was only with the original TouchWiz, as I said above.
How can I use the Null 23 and still leave a clock on the main screen as before that only had the TouchWiz?
I thank you all the help you can give me answering my questions here in this topic .
Thank you,
Marcelo .
You can find your watch faces under widgets, add them as you would add a widget on your phone. Make sure to use a 5x5 grid on your launchers, otherwise the watch faces wont fit on the screen (I'm using apex launcher). If you cannot find them on the application drawer, touch and hold anywhere on a screen and select widgets from the sub menu, then just simply add them to any screen.

First, thanks for the quick feedback ... I had imagined such a solution is even tried this last night doing this, but it was not perfect because I used other numbers in the grid. I'll do as you taught and come back here to tell if it worked.
Thanks again for everything ...
