How'd you get it to work? I can only get 1x1, 2x1 etc and my largest is 4x4. I see no options for a 5x widget.

I have HD Widgets running on my note too with the 5Xwhatever options. They included the larger widgets in their latest update I believe. You may be running an outdated version or it may be that the free version doesn't have the larger widgets. Are you using the free version or the paid?
They just show up in my widgets as an option. You must be outdated or using free version.

Ya only thing I have so far with a 5x2 is beautiful Widgets. Can't remember the names of the launchers tho that let you resize widgets. Tho from what I remember they really don't look right resized bigger usually

Android Pro Widgets with the Modern ICS Dark theme is really nice. I use the Timeline and Calender widgets at 5x5.
I believe zeam and ashell let you resize

Try using beautiful widgets, they are close..
Something else to look up is Android Pro Widgets. It has a few scrollable widgets that compare a little to Sense.
Try HD Widgets and Beautiful Widgets, both are 10 cents with the daily deals.

So love the phone, problem is that Tue accuweather widget doesn't update based on location. Any Widgets I have found on the market place are only 4 wide so it looks funky. What are you guys using for Widgets?

Antoniomisretta modified the Samsung Weather Widget to be transparent - worked great on GT-N7000 on Gingerbread ROMs, and he has done it for ICS, but I can't get it to work on my SGH-I717-UCLF6BS - loads, but not transparent.

I have Hd Widgets, Beautiful Widgets, and Beweather. I usually use Beweather because it's easy to view and gain info fast without having a widget on the home screen
+1 for BeWeather...

Weatherbug
I use BeWeather with Beautiful Widget iconsets. Loved it on my Blackberry a couple years ago, love it on Android.
Beautiful Widget is the best!
I like Aix
Give myweather.com a shot. I've found it's radar to be excellent and updates seem to come in more quickly than other weather apps I've tried (i.e., like the most recent radar frame is no more than 5 minutes old...not talking about app updates!) This is great when you're riding out a tornado warning in the basement, your satellite TV signal is lost due to the storm, and you want up-to-date weather information down to the street level. App also doesn't seem to drain my battery like some weather apps have.
Using beautiful Widgets here as well. Much nicer than any others I have used so far.

Anyone installed Nova launcher yet? Coming from a GNex I think that would be my first order of business. Any performance issues, resolution problems, etc?

ive been running nova for over a week now, and it runs like a champ
I tried to deal with sense for about 4 hours yesterday... App spacing is atrocious and that dock is fugly and you can't change it to anything remotely attractive... Installed nova and doubt I will look back until maybe a desense Rom is developed
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
I got mine today and set everything up before loading nova back on. Nice and smooth as always.
Best thing is, the locksreen shortcuts are what is on the sense dock. You can set those to anything, then go to nova.
Anyone able to get wallpapers to scroll??
I'm trying Nova, but many of the Sense widgets are missing. I wish there was an app that would allow 4x5 layout on the stock setup. Does anyone know of anything like this? 4x4 just looks silly on such a large display.

Hey guys I was just wondering what home launchers you guys are using I'm using nova launcher right now but I'm looking for a launcher that won't take up too much RAM the most I've seen on nova is around 30mb also what lockscreen apps are good?
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using xda app-developers app
I'm on Gingerbread, so I idk how much ram would be used for you, but I use Holo Launcher with 3 pages of 4x4 widgets, and another page with a clock widget, and Facebook widget. I also have regular app icons too. I keep the app in memory and it only uses 24MB of RAM. I use Holo Locker and the keyguard service that runs on the background is about 8MB.

Based on their .apk sizes Holo (non HD) is the smallest followed by ADW, but that may not reflect what they actually use at run time.
There are already threads in the general and themes & apps forums for home launchers so you might want to browse through those.

I don't believe you have to be rooted to install the touchwiz launcher.

Using Next launcher, like it a lot.
Im using NextLaucher3D, stunning work havent used very many but this one is my fav so far VERY customizable
Have tried just about every launcher except the $16 3D launchers which I'm guessing may not be for the OP if you're concerned Nova is using too much RAM. I love tinkering with themes and widgets so I love using SSlauncher but it also requires a fair amount of RAM. Nova Launcher is a great combo with Tesla Unread and Widget Locker, my favorite overall combo of launcher-lockscreen but I've seen other's rave about Holo. Apples and Oranges I guess but I got Prime when it was on sale for 25 cents so I'll stick with that.
I actually prefer just using Sense over a 3rd party launcher if given the choice but obviously its not supported by all ROMs.

I'm not worried about nova seems to use just about a reasonable amount of RAM compared to others the next 3D launcher uses about 30 mb less than go launcher surprisingly
