Hi all
I recently got the Razr Maxx (GSM) and have updated it to ICS so long.
I noticed it has an icon on one of the homescreens for "Camcorder". I don't want to delete this icon, because I cannot find it anywhere (app drawer/widgets). How would I get this shortcut if I remove it? I know you can reach it via "Camera", but just wondering.
Also, there was a weather widget on the screen. I can find the widget in this widgets tab, but only for a larger weather widget which displays the city (but it is part of same app). The one already on the screen displays only the temperature and a weather icon (so it is smaller). This smaller widget is nowhere to be found, again I don't want to remove it until I know it can be replaced. Oh and it is not a resizable widget - so it's not just the larger one resized.
I know these are petty questions, but just wondering.
Any ideas?

try restarting the phone and see if it pops up, this is a known bug with the razr running ICS that I hope it will be fixed in JB
Thanks for the prompt reply! I did restart my phone earlier but still nothing. Scared to remove them.. Are other icons/widgets affected?

My motoblur calendar widget will not update to the current date. Right now it is showing that today is yesterday (which is when i placed the widget on my desktop). When I open the widget, the calendar shows the correct date, but on my desktop it doesn't.
I am using LauncherPro, and this widget is the ONLY aspect of Motoblur I'm using.
It's not like they made a fantastic, useful overhaul of Android the way HTC and Samsung have... they only made widgets, and I can't believe even those measly widgets are messed up.
I just started having the same problem with the wrong date showing up on my moto calendar widget. I deleted the calendar widget off my desktop, and now I can't add it to the desktop anymore. I am also using LauncherPro. I am wondering if it is now causing some sort of conflict.
same problem on my Milestone 2 ...

Same here too on the Atrix with Launcher pro.
Edit: Have changed to Go launcher and Moto calender widget updates date fine now.
Is it possible to have too many widgets on a screen? I have no clue what I'm talking about here, but this is what is wrong. I've got my homescreen set up with Desktop Visualizer 1x1 widgets for my Semi Sense icons. There's nine of them, then my Battery Monitor Pro Widget, my aTAKEphONE widget, and then four regular icons to various programs. Every once in awhile one of my icons (not the Desktop Visualizer widget icons), namely the XDA icon, becomes a normal XDA icon, no longer one of my Semi Sense icons. I have to restart LauncherPro to get it to show the normal Semi Sense icon. Now, my aTAKEphONE widget is going blank. This is since the latest update of the program. It's there, but nonfunctional, the only way I can get it back is to go into the widget settings and back out, it shows up again. Probably two different issues, andI'm working with the aTAKEphONE developer, but I'm kinda wondering.....
If you've got this far, this is what I was thinking, that somehow I'm running out of memory on my Samsung Captivate, and things are getting bumped out of display memory - is that at all possible? I'm pretty sure these are two separate issues, the program was updated and something was changed, but the XDA icon changing is an ongoing problem. I appreciate any thoughts, I'm trying to learn here as I futz around.
Of course now that I've called the doctor it's fine but if I can get a screen shot I'll post it here.

Might want to give a diff launcher a shot as it is not unheard of for LP to have issues when one page is loaded with widgets.
So I have been using Next Launcher for three years. I love themes and creating my own UI. I hide docs and create themes that are almost completely free of standard icons. To do this I use Zooper Widget 4x4 (or any other that I extend from top to bottom and side to side. I fill the entire screen and as I said even hide the dock as well as the status bar. Well the other day as I was working on an existing one the 4x4 widget (largest widget available) stopped filling the screen. Even when I go to resize, it will not allow me to completely fill the screen.
I have tried the following to fix:
Reboot (sim card removed)
Uninstalled Next Launcher (and zooper) then re installed.
Tried other launchers (they all fixed the problem however I need Next as it is the only launcher I am aware of that allows you to literally place icons anywhere with ZERO grid). I even used Next Light and again, the problem was gone. Problem here, after the trial period you can no longer "hide Dock".
I am certain it is a Next Launcher issue but have yet to fix it. Im wondering...
Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have any ideas and or does anyone know of any other launchers with the same freedoms?
Attached is a photo of my latest UI as an example as to why I need complete icon placement freedom as well as no boarders.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This section is for Themer-related queries only, sorry about that
On my old (now dead) S3 I used to run this widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sanels.tempcpuv2&hl=en
however, since the S5 runs on 4.4.+ this widget doesn't work anymore.
Does anyone know of any good replacement widgets? Preferably one that is also a 1x1 widget.
I haven't seen any other apps that display all three datums in a 1x1 icon. But an extended search may locate such an app. Ten quality minutes with Google should answer that. For that matter, you may wish to contact the author of your old app and see if he will update it to work with your current phone?
Alternatives? Elixir widgets is very good. Certainly a 1x1 widget for any one parameter. I'm just not aware of the app being able to put three items into a 1x1 widget. Personally, I like to have these items in the status bar. And to that end have two icons display these three items. An xposed module to display the CPU temperature. And the Cool tool app to display processor load /RAM as a second icon.

Having it on the status bar is perfect! Great suggestion, thanks!
So I have the new Sprint update for the Note 3. I noticed the weather widget seem different. It kind of gives more info on there (a little arrow that gives you the temps in a line graph. I probably have noticed cause I usually goto some other altered version)
The the transparency option is gone. Anyway to get that widget transparent? I kind there is is some way by editing the widget's images amd I could've swore I ran into someone that did that. So anyone know how to get it tranparent without changing to a different Accuweather version??
