Text Icons

Hello all,
As a new user I'm apparently not allowed to post links at all until I'm verified. So that means you'll have to a little leg work to find some things if you're interested.
This is my customized phone. I used the same background in my blog; The icons I made in a roundabout way—Bobbyperux over at Deviantart, made a pretty all inclusive tutorial on how to make them. It even had a video. You'll need to know something about Photoshop and have a tiny bit of patience. I changed the font to futura and the color to white. Except for the android market, ha. Little color never hurt anyone. The phone is rooted, non-market apps are enabled, and I can sync to my itunes with ease. Mac user.
Anywho give it a whirl--the icon pack is called up to date icons.

Id like to change my icon set too. Do you have to be using launcherpro or can u change them on the stock TW?
Thx.

The news widget is called buzz box-- its pretty nifty. You can choose from a ton of sources within the actual widget and it updates the news all day. I don't know how it effects battery life, but my captivate seems to be dealing with it just fine.

Yes, its LauncherPro. On the home screen I used Folder Organizer, as LauncherPro could can only change dock icons.

Do you have the link to that yahoo mail widget you are talking about because I can't seem to find it in the market? Unless you are referring to the shortcut icon which is not a widget.
To remove widget just do a long press on the widget you want to remove then drag it to the trash bin.

Hd widgets

Just download a great, completely customizable weather, clock, settings widget. It's only 99 cents on the market right now. Perfect for my ever changing homescreen. So many themes. Give it a look. I added a couple of pics to show some of the colors and sizes.

I assume you're the developer. I could be wrong. I like the appearance of the widgets, are there anything more than the weather/clock widgets?
Thanks

Bought it. It's awesome. The widgets looks very elegant on my xoom's screen. The variety of widget sizes and looks make this one a great buy!

I was lucky enough to beta test this widget and it was a pleasure watching the developers upgrade and fix it over several months. They are quick to resolve issues and I purchased it as soon as it became available on market.
Edit: @ Saintfyre, the main 8x2 widget allows the forcast on right to be switched with a control panel similar to a power control widget. Things like BT, screen rotation, wifi can all be turned on/off. Beyond that, theyre just weather and clock. Its a replacement for Beautiful widgets.
@OP. What is the Theme you are using? And what is the small up arrow in the center of your notification bar?

First app I bought without much research, saw one review and small review at that in a blog, very happy I bought it, very nice widgets.

I decided to pick it up and was beating my head against the wall because I couldn't get the widgets to appear in the Xoom widget menu after long-pressing. Simple reboot takes care of it, for those who scratch their head like I did after configuring one and trying to find out how to place it. I like what I see so far. Thanks devs!

I believe he's either using a Galaxy Tab 10.1 or has found a way to run TouchWiz UX on a Xoom. Probably the first one. The arrow would be the shortcut TW has for the mini apps.

Sorry not the developer, just letting people know about the widget that I liked.
Yes, not a theme, I use a galaxy tab 10.1 now, but old habits like this forum die hard.

In your 3rd pic on the top you are using something that has large buttons as folders. What program does that?

Ok, while you're at it, where did you get that wicked Star Trek wallpaper? /drool

The folders are two apps. Desktop visualizer is a free app that lets you take almost any small picture and use it for a launcher button of any app or bookmark. Then you can resize it to whatever dimensions you want. I have that widget working with the app called folder organizer lite. You can put all your apps into different folders. Apply your own icon and resize away. It saves alot of screen area so you don't have 100 apps taking up real estate. I can post some pics if you want to see what it looks like. Both apps are free in the market.
And here is the uss enterprise wallpaper. But you have to use the multipicture live wallpaper (free) in order to get it to display correctly. Honeycomb crops the sh!# out of it.

but i have done that many times, still not showing up
Please is this cos of the Beta version
Please Help

Under the HD Widgets settings you can add and remove different sizes.

Won't update units from F to C. :crying:
But other than not knowing what 50 degrees F is, the app is awesome.
Edit: rebooted and now it works a charm. A+++

Weather widget that displays dual units?

Anyone know of a widget that displays both Celsius and Fahrenheit at the same time?

Beautiful Widgets? i think
btw wrong section. Q&A

Sorry... this is themes and apps, so I figured that it would fall in here as it is an app. But either way, anyway for anyone to confirm beautiful Widgets?!
Also feel free to move thread (anyone with permission)

I had a widget called weather notification, I think that was the name of it....does weather in the notification area, and you could tell it to display both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Theoretically you could set it up with a custom Minimalistic Text widget. Example in the attachment.

Nova Launcher

For anyone running Nova Launch on their Gear...
How can we get some sort of actual watch functionality?
It's cool having a full-fledged launcher on my watch, but it would also be
pretty damn nifty to have a clock on my watch
Widgets are no-go, so that's out of the question...
Is a lockscreen the answer? and how could that be arranged?

I was able to get the clock/weather widget on Go Launcher Ex. The weather isn't working, but the clock is a go.

With novalauncher, move the app apk after installing from data/app to system/app and reboot. Then you can use widgets. Minimalistic text is a good widget to start with because you can customize everything about the time, date, battery etc. It was easier to set it up on my phone, export the config, push it to the watch and import it.

Looks very good!
Did You succeed with creating shortcuts to specific contacts or "quick dial" list or in any other way to see "all contacts" AND "preferred contacts" ?
I am kind of waiting for Samsung to update the firmware, but as this is not happening - I will probably root and install NOVA as I use it on Note3 anyway
Battery widget JINASYS is also very nice.
What about power use with the background - did You notice if it is shorter? - amoled screen draw no power when it is black, so I'd rather keep the background black.

You can add shortcuts, widgets, quick dials and basically anything you can do on your phone when you have the APK in the system directory. Also I am getting 2-3 days battery life from my gear atm, my wallpaper is now mostly white and it still doesn't affect it very much. The latest firmware update for the gear did wonders for battery usage.

Do you need root access to do this? I can not find the apk for nova on the gear? The data folder is empty.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium HD app
Never mind. I figured it out. I went ahead and rooted then turned on the root access in file manager and set to read and write. then I could see all the folders and files to follow your instructions. Thanks.

I just got my gear less then a week ago. I am interested in doing this but I was wondering if you do this can you still get notifications and s voice if you do this?

I tried one photo widget app, but it didn't go to the edges, and it looked funny.

He is taking about favorite contacts. So if you want to call someone you don't have to go through all three contacts to do so.....
