[Q] Why are icons so large? can they be changed? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i've added a widget called 'power controls' it is a default widget from stock android i believe.
I looks horrendous. The icon container is HUGE and the icons inside them are tiny. The screen on this device is massive, yet we can only have 4 rows of widgets, or is this possible to change?
thanks!
Also: The power widget from HTC looks nicer, however the screen brightness button has no AUTO brightness....?
Also2: There is no widget for HTC TV
Seems like there are alot of simple things missing

Hi
Greetings,
I thing their is no way as its stock widget
You will have to wait till some one mods it or creat something new similar
And yes HTC misses these few imp things

[Q] REQ - Windows Phone 7 Lockscreen

I want the Windows Phone 7 lockscreen for Android, I tried it with Typoclock but the font is too big and it's just not looking like the lockscreen.
The combination of the clock, calendar & "dock" widgets is just awesome. It should be possible to do the same on android isn't it?
And whats about the transparent statusbar, I know it looks creepy just as you start something else like launcher or any app, but isnt it possible to color it as you start an app?
thanks
I second this. I'd certainly cough up a cheeky 99p for this. If I can help with my little to no knowledge of app development let me know. (p.a. this should probably be moved to the general Android apps and themes forum)
No one else? Just tried Minimalistic Text Widget but the Font is too big and it's not looking like the Screen above. Any ideas?
Hello, you can try Widgetlocker ("to create a lockscreen") then put Pure Calendar widget and Mclock widget! That's all! Mclock is the only free one......

It'll be totally awesome if someone can make this lockscreen(the clock, date, notification,... and also the swipe up the whole screen to unlock), I really like the design of it.
Jepp and MIUI is using different notificationbars too. Like on homescreen its transparent and in apps its plain. I would so love to get the design with a totally transparent notificationbar and all the other stuff.
I've got to say, WP7 lockscreen looks very sweet, wish somenone made it for Android. The one on the black Nokia on the left seems really cool:
I have been looking for widgets likethis for ages but can't find anything as good as the wp7 ones
minimalistic text is the closest one but it's not as elegant as the wp7 one

Click on the homescreen an choose "Widgets" and HTC Widgets. Her you have several watches and other stuff to choose from.
If you want more than 4 icon across you use ADW Lanucher.

[Q] HTC Sense 5

Hi All,
I have tried the demo set of HTC One. I found that they remove quite a lot of widgets like the mail widget and message(SMS) widget.
On Personalize menu, they also remove Skins and Scenes, as well as some of the Lock Screen choices (like Weather and Clock).
My question is, can we have those back for Sense 5? Or it requires some rooting?
Thanks.

My guess is they may be available for download via some sort of HTC app store (they had similar with the One X)
Don't think so.
At least i was not able to find something like that. (no HTC Hub, HTC Likes or whatever)
Also there are no buttons e.g. to download further ringtones or another background pictures/designs like it was earlier.
I think we could downgrade to sense 4 then. We could rip DNA/Butterfly's ROM and port the framework & apks on HTC One.

[Q] Weather widget - sometimes animates, sometimes not?

Hey, just wondering if anyone else has noticed that sometimes the little weather symbol in the weather clock widget (on top of blinkfeed, lock screen etc) animates, like a cloud with falling rain etc
Yet sometimes it doesn't - when does it decide to animate, and why? Just curious!

I noticed it once when I was waking up and thought it was cool but haven't seen it since. I'd also like to know what the trigger is for it to animate.
I don't have it yet but in all previous versions of sense was an option inside weather settings called "show weather animation" something like that....I don't know if there's any parameter that will allow you to use it continuesly but as far I remember animates in some updates and not always....

I think it only animates the transition between weather changes.

How about the weather on HTC Sense's trademark weather flip clock widget? Does it animate too in Sense 5?

No, there is no [full screen] animation any longer with the flip clock

It animates when it auto refreshes (depending on your refresh interval) or when you manually open the weather app itself.

Replace lock screen short cut icons?

Hi guys,
Is there a way to replace the icons used for short cuts on the sense 5 lock screen? Im using nova launcher with a custom icon pack and would LOVE the icons on the lock screen to match.
I would use a custom lock screen, but all the ones I've come across don't allow you to place a lock screen widget like NILS on the lock screen.
Thanks,
J

If you're rooted you can just swap out the icons in the apk's to the ones you want ... Make sure you open the apk with something like 7zip and drag in your new icons, that way you won't have to decompile the apk.
Is it possible without root?
I've seem some lock screen apps, but don't know how good they are.
There is an app in the play store that allows you to change your icons without rooting but I can't remember the name ... I've never used it so I couldn't vouch for it changing them on the lockscreen but I don't see why it wouldn't.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=en ... There's that app but I have no idea whether it would show icon changes on the lockscreen awsell, sorry.
This worked perfectly. I had to change the icons and then set them before activating nova launcher.

Glad the app worked for you guys
