Cant place snowstorm 4x1 on screen? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Im wondering why i cant place a 4x1 snowstorm widget on my home screen?
Its all empty but it says "there is no more space on this startpage" (translated)
Im using launcher pro för my menubar in the bottom.

He just downloaded the app to try out, it works fine on stock touchwiz. so id guess it is a launcher problem.
try loading TW and see if you can install it on that homescreen.
i dont have launcher pro installed but i would check its options for something like home screen grid and check that it is set to something like 4x4, a quick way to check if you dont want to dig though options is to see how many apps you can place on the home screen in a line, if it is only 3 then you know you are in a somethingx3 format.

Hi,
I have a widget which I want on all my screens, and so far the only way I can do that is by adding that widget 5 times, once for each screen.
I was wondering if there was a way to add that widget onto the dock so its always there.
So, how did you manage to add the widget on the dock?
Please advice...

On Nova Launcher I think you can add them, but it has to be a 1x1 widget. Same for Apex Pro.

Ok this may be quite late but in Apex Launcher Pro:
Get into "Apex Settings" then
"Advanced settings" then
"Widget settings" then
"Widgets in dock" then
tick the tick box then
drag and drop your chosen 1x1 widget from the home screen to the dock i.e. add one to you home screen first.

[Q] Need help with widgets!!

I have just downloaded this cool looking widget from google play called minimalistic text.... here is the link if ur interested- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&hl=en
i downloaded and installed it, when I open it from the app drawer it says "u need to add minimalistic widget to ur home screen..
when i got homescreen and go to add to homescreen page, I only see the default widgets in the widget list but no minimalistic widget....
so How can i add this 3rd party widget to the homescreen? pls help . I really want this widget , it looks so cool..
If you have installed Minimalistic Text properly, click and hold in your home screen and choose add widget (or any other way that you prefer to add a widget). Then look for Minimalistic Text there.. there are around 15 widgets under Minimalistic Text.. If you are in JB and you have the option too see your widgets in app drawer, then you can see them there are as well. If you cant see the widgets at all, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app again.. also try restarting your device...
that didn;t help.

Specific widget settings

Well, whenever I reload an exported theme, my widget settings are gone. So I have to do them again. But the only way to do this right now, is removing the widget, then finding it in a huge list, and adding it again.
Am I the only one who would like this?
Made a feature request too
Seems like a "Settings" link could easily be added below the Widget menu, under "Resize" and "Remove"

What type of settings are you referring to? Settings such as Widget Overlap or Desktop Grid Size are theme dependent, therefore every new theme will have it's specific settings.

I'm talking about the settings that some widgets have, like gtasks, where you need to choose which account you want to show tasks from, what colour the widget should have, and some other things. Like widget specific. Not all widgets got something to set, but some you have to setup a few options when you place it the first time. And at least in my stock launcher, I can get back to checking or resetting those settings again.
Know what I mean?
Kinda hard to explain

We understand what you mean, however Themer is the same as any other launcher when it comes to this. For example, if you add a Clock widget, it will give you all the same options as any other launcher. You can always change these settings if you open the app from the app drawer.

Well, with this last update, you have added exactly what I was looking for, so thank you!

When making a theme widgets sometimes move each other.

When I try to add a zoomed widget in the same area as my weather widget, the weather widget was pushed off the screen and I can't get it back. Sure I can just try to make a new one but it's still running somewhere off the screen. Is there a way to list all widgets you have on screen? And delete them in that list? Or from a list default them to center of screen? I know the themer widgets can stack so why are they moving on their own? This is especially true if I try to edit a theme I download. As soon as I press configure or resize or add something the theme goes ape **** and everything just moves. Not using a custom dpi. Stock Rom galaxy note 3.

Hi vitessex,
We're not too sure how this happens, as testing it now reveals that a widget cannot push another one off the screen. However in your unlucky case, we suggest going into Themer's main settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Allow overlapping Widgets. This should then just cause the widgets to overlap instead of jumping around.
Which downloaded themes are causing this? Most new themes should have the overlapping widget setting enabled to prevent this issue.

It seems to do it with all the themes I have downloaded. And even happened on the one I am making myself. But currently I will show an example with the theme "Coordinate." The overlapping Widgets option is enabled and this is what happens when I add a widget or edit in any way really.

I see. There might have been a bug during installation. Try this:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
Let me know how this goes.

[Q] Widget scroll lag in TouchWiz

I own a SM-G925I with Android 5.0.2 and am facing major scroll lag when having widgets that can scroll in the TouchWiz home screen. I was wondering if anybody is facing the same issue and if there is any fix I can apply to mitigate this problem. The lag appears only when scrolling the widget content and not the home pages or anything else.
The issue will not be there when I use a different launcher app like Nova or ActionLauncher. And I'm looking for a way to fix this while still using TouchWiz since this time around I really want to give TouchWiz a go rather than just swapping it out for a better launcher, since I feel that Samsung is at least trying to make their launcher match up to the competition.
Steps to re-create widget scroll lag:
1. Add "Music" app widget into a TouchWiz home screen page.
2. Touch and hold the "Music" widget and let go to get the resize lines enabled on the widget.
3. Now resize it height-wise until you can see the songs in the scroll pane on the widget.
4. Apply changes and try to scroll through the songs using the "Music" Widget to see if you have any lag.
This will happen no matter what widget I use, which has a scroll panel.
Thanks in advance guys!
