ADW updated!!!!

Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

I use GO EX, on my SGS3 and Pad 7.7, perfect :good:
We had to wait a long long time for getting an update.....
But at least it was worth the waiting.
Had to fix screen size and some other settings after new update. It was a pain, don't really notice anything new while running on stock ICS

After playing with it a bit I stuck with Apex. I think this is a bigger draw to HC and GB devices.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

THIS. Been using Go Ex Launcher for several years on many different Android devices & it's been amazing, very customizable & easy to use.
After trying EVERY other launcher including paid ones, none come close to Go EX...

Is this feature available via any app???

I want to lock my widgets on my home screen, they sometimes are accidentally moved when fast scrolling or going back from app drawer. I want ro lock them so even on hard touch or persistent touch, it wont show the resize or move thing.

Hmmm..if you are ok moving to another launcher, there is an option in Go Launcher if I am not wrong..
Nova launcher for ics has the lock desktop check box in the settings.

so there is no different from 4.1.2 cause widgets are useless
Sony don't make the lock screen widgets. You have to find apps that support the 4.2.2 lock screen.

That is true..but the downside is that we can put only one widget in one page..so if I want a small flashlight widget,it takes up one whole page to the left,and if I need any toggles..another page on the left..really annoying..isn't there any way u could put many widgets in just one page at the lockscreen?

I believe that you can only put one widget per screen on Nexus devices, so no surprise that it works the same here. Maybe try something like WidgetLocker.

[Q] Nova launcher notification bar

i used the Xperia stock launcher of my Z1 a few times and I find it to be limiting. That is why switched to Nova, but I want to retain the opaque/transparent notification bar of the stock launcher.
How can I solve this?
You can choose transparent notification bar in Nova launcher settings. It's inbuilt to Nova.

Not sure mate. I have an s4 and nova free version. I have checked transparent notification in settings and it works here. Try contacting the developer.

We need to wait for an update (Nova) for our devices like what they did for the Xperia Z before.

It wont work unless the rom API supports it. Apparently the xperia interface doesnt, so it wont work.
Yeah it does, Xperia Z and z1 both do it, I have both handsets

I can confirm, the navigation bar is transparent after converting Nova to System Apps via Titanium Backup.
