Using Apex Pro... Portrait issue? - Nexus 7 General

I thought I would try Apex on my shiny new Nexus, and when I put it in portrait, I have a lot of space left at the bottom. Is there a way to change it, or is it just the nature of the beast?

I'll have to check when I get home tonight, but I don't think I have that issue. I haven't noticed it yet, at least.

There's another thread on this as well.

Here is an example... The grid stops... I am going to try increasing the grid number.

Is that tablet ui?

What is your vertical margin set to? Try making it small or none.

Yeah, Apex uses tablet ui as the default... Well I assume it does as I didn't change any settings. I fixed the problem though by changing the vertical margin.

I wonder why it isn't set to none or small by default.

This worked great for me as well, wasn't happy with the look of the vertical margin at all. Now it looks great!

BTW I'm in love with your wallpaper. Would you kindly post a link to it, please?
Also, is there a way to make the white backpanels' borders of the clock sharper, so it will look more "native HD" if you know what I mean?

wall paper attached i will turn this true hd shortly .. my aim was to get a fully working sense 4 widget on our xooms
Well, my friend, you did it right. This is the prettiest widget I've ever seen on a tablet.
Why does it look like this?

Happened to me too. Go to your launcher settings, enable resize all Widgets, then long press the widget to stretch out the hidden edges.

Thanks for porting this over to us non-sense users. It's looking stellar on my Xoom and figured I would try the white.apk on my gnex. The flip clock section is working just fine. It's the date/weather bar area i'm having issues with. The high/low temps overlap and the weather icon/background bar are smaller than they should be. What xml's and values would need editing to fix this?

Unfortunately, stock can only resize certain stock Widgets. If you still want to see how it looks just grab Apex Launcher off the market as the re-size option is on by default. Then just add the widget to the home screen, long press the widget until some options pop up, select re-size and resize until all the sides are visible.

This was mainly for the Xoom as pics allows us to resize Widgets to you galaxy users I think u will have to try to make a slightly smaller version. Give ma a couple of hours I should have something to try out.. for all Xoom users resizable Widgets must be activated on your device

Decompile the API file and edit the widget main file...
You will need to edit low temp an high temp... change the dip from right.. an increase top value in only one of the hope this helps, unfortunately; im no good at trying to explain I will try to fix this for you also

My god, finally a proper port of this clock. Thank you so much. Version for Nexus S works very well on my SE Arc S.

Thanks for all the help with the widget_main.xml file to get it to scale to my GNex correctly. My Xoom and Gnex are looking great together.
Would it be cool if I posted the resized widget over on the Galaxy Nexus board with giving credit to LP for the base and this thread for your xoom port?

Im pretty sure its 160 the standard DPI
Is this specifically made for tablets? I used 160 dpi and its to large, I went down and used 120 which seems really close but still off.
There is another one for 190 dpi which fits, but has some transition lag.
This as far as I could tell was super smooth even though it did not work properly on my device, droid incredible. Regular dpi 240.

Sorry this is specifically rebuilt for the Xoom and would need to be modded for other devices
If you send me a screenshot I can try to edit to fit your device

What are your Impressions of 4.2

So I flashed the 4.2 factory image, haven't rooted yet.
I like,
The smaller icons in the dock bar
Slicker graphics / icons
The clock is cool
The notification system, left-side = notifications: right-side = quick settings.
Gmail is much improved.
Multiple user accounts is a good idea.
I dislike,
Chrome is slightly newer than the current version in the Play Store, 18.0.1025465 vs 18.0.1025464, but they made it perform worse Sunspider before 1500ms ~ now 1641 ms. It is also no smoother than before, and still is laggy on sites like The Verge.
I only got to play with mine for a few minutes during lunch but I love it minus the bounce back on the notification/quick settings pull downs. It's just odd and kind of irritating. I kept thinking it was going to close itself.
I really like the new lockscreen. The hour being bold with the minutes regular text is really nice IMO. The placement of the owner info and charging % is also nice. I think widgets are kind of meh but not complaining about anything new lol.
My battery is very bad since the update. Anyone else thinks like me?

Overall performance on the home screen and lock screen has been worse for me. I manually updated and wiped dalvik and normal cache before booting...

The new lockscreen should be awesome but it's terrible. Only 4 widgets, what gives? Should be able to use any widget I want! And no more quick access to Google now?

Calendar, clock, gmail, and sound search.
I like how gmail is zoomed out all the way and then you can zoom in. Why not add this feature to the stock email app as well?

Pretty sure you're missing the Sound Search widget, it was previously only available for users in America, more people may be able to access it now but some won't be able to based on where they live.
I'm not liking the new clock, the huge bold hour makes it look lopsided, guess I have some kind of symmetrical ocd!

Screen grid size

Correct me if I am wrong, but I cannot seem to find a way to change the home screen grid size. Is there a way to do it on this phone using ARHD? Would love to squeeze out a bit more real estate.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Haven't seen a way to change it. I think there was a mod in the themes and apps section that did this though. Might have to dig a bit for it though.

Question about LCD density

I noticed that when I edited the LCD density to be 360 it works great however I noticed that the search bar in the dialer moved to the top if the screen rather than staying in its home on the bottom of the screen. Any way to fix that?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
Just a quick update. I was able to fix this issue by using a density of 400. Not quiet so small but big enough that the launcher no longer dies this.
