Thanks, but I'd already found that - and set it. That 'enables' widgets, but I still cannot set one up on the home screen.
Cheers

When on the lockscreen, drag the clock widget to the right, you'll notice you can move it, move it until you get a little plus symbol, tap that and there you can add lockscreen widgets (it will ask you to unlock your phone first before being able to add the widget of course).

That's not quite what I wanted either, but a useful tip nonetheless.
I'm not proud, but I've found my problem. A widget that had died on the home screen and was invisible. I could not put a widget in that position until I'd deleted that old widget.
Weird.

Was it by chance the walkman widget?

Heh - No. It was actually the UK Met Office's Weather Widget. Never given trouble like this before.

[APP] Wallpaper Wizardrii - Adios Honeycomb Crop

I'm sure there are other apps out there for this, but this was the one I stumbled across. Allows you to set a scrollable (or non-scrollable) wall paper without having to crop it with the Honeycomb wallpaper cropper.
Got rid of a lot of headaches very quickly.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii
Edit: This was covered elsewhere but didn't show up in my searches, my bad.
Good find. I hate the way Android scale andzoom wallpaper.
Here is a screener.

Here's mine - used Wizardrii - very easy, no cropping

I believe those are the weather and clock widgets that come with the transformer.

I thought so as well at first, but I have the Transformer weather widget and its not as small and compact as his in the screenshot. So unless he found a way to resize - thats something different.
I'm curious as well what those widgets are.

These are from the Asus transformer. You can find them in the apps and themes section. I can upload the wallpaper, I think it is Vancouver.
Install the weather app as you would normally do. I used rootexplorer to make a backup of /system/app/DeskClock.apk and copied the new deskclock.apk into the same dir. The picture may not cover the entire screen in portrait mode.

I tried this app on my gt and liked it.
I tried it on my evo 3d..... my wallpaper no longer scrolls.
I tried all the settings to fix it.....nope didn't work.
So.............. Help!!!!
How can i fix this?
Thanks
Anyone else having issues with WW?
My wallpapers periodically get cut off with the no scroll function on, leaving half the home screen black. WW would be the perfect solution for setting wallpapers on tablet if this worked

I just select no scroll so the entire wallpaper appears and is not cropped. Scrollable will crop the image and reduce resolution. I believe exact is what you may have selected if a small version of the wp appears in lieu of full screen. Unfortunately i am having some issues with no scroll function, which i mentioned above. Some reviews of the app indicate similar issues.

The Asus one I have on my tab is not sizeable.

I have tried every setting, tried adjusting the slide,and still it blows up the wallpaper. Unless someone decides to share what they're doing to make it work right I recommend using multi picture live wallpaper. Aside from having to refresh when switching orientation, this app is perfect for setting a proper wallpaper in HC.

Nice work. Installed on my arc but 2 problems.
First, the widget size is very small i think. In the screenshot you can see the different.
Second, pushing the widget does effect nothing. In the app i can enable the flashligt without a problem.
Please fix this

I downloaded the one on the top (XperiaLED rablexModL5 en.apk)
No small widget and no issues with widget.
I think YOU are the problem, not your Arc or any of this programs
yes, you´re right After rebooting my arc everything is fine! Don´t know what was wrong but now it´s perfect!

Well, it is possible of course, but I see no need cause the new version brings nothing useful for us.
In fact I'd suggest they DON'T update as the new version shuts the LED off when the screen turns off, which is stupid and annoying. This version works perfect.
This is running superb on my Arc S and it looks just like the SE on/off widgets.
Does anyone know of a similar widget to toggle auto-sync on/off? SE supply one to toggle data off but that means I can't then manually update.

I use it on my Ray an its fantastic!
I used Android Flashlight befor and now I use your mod. Very thanks!
Using it on Ray, this is fantastic. The fact that there was no torch app that looked anything like the stock buttons was driving me mad. This solves the problem.
Thank you!
new upload pls
good stuff works well
Hello,
on Arc (ICS 4.0.4) or Ray (ICS 4.0.3), the flashlight widget works great but randomly Force Close when not used. It happens several time a day and a pop-up appears on screen!

They are only for high activity forums but i am sure as the forum grows you will get one.
I have a general question.
I know from videos, that microUSB plug is angled. When cable is plugged in, does the cable go towards the top of the phone, or bottom. I think it is top, but myself would prefer bottom.

I haven't tried the cable which came with Xperia S but still using my arc's cable. That goes to bottom and you could rotate the flap totally toward the top if you like.
EDIT: so I took the Xperia S cable and cable goes towards the top. still ok if you rotate the flap. Maybe going up makes more sense since it will be out of your way at the bottom. If you don't like it get an arc's cable.
How is your charging speed?
Hi guys! My charger with some info: output: 5.0 vdc, 850 mA, i did some charge, but there was no sign of "speed charging", it always took 2 to 3 hours to full charge.
How about your?
Anyone Knows?
1. Is the original Timescape Widget is hidden somewhere?
2. Why there isn't a Mass Storage mode? (Or is there, really )
3. The full screen caller photo is no longer there, right? (Or did I mess it up?)
4. In Arc, the backlight widget can lower the screen brightness to min and max it up to the point you select in under the settings --> Display. Why not S don't do that? (Or is there, a setting for that?)
5. Is it me or everyone... The touch sensitive buttons aren't that sensitive.. after all?
More questions might come
I cant find how to make a video call!

Yes there is Timescape widget.
I don't see a Mass Storage mode and it's strange.
I assume it should be there.

I don't think android supports native video calls (correct me if I'm wrong ). So it's nothing to do with the phone.

Guys I wanted to ask do you have to use live wallpapers or can you have normal wallpapers that do not drain your battery.
You can definitely use static wallpapers.
Press menu while on home screen and wallpaper option will pop up.

When you click the widget, it takes you to a google search page and keyboard comes up. This widget does not accept typing from home screen

You can't type directly in that widget. Maybe your friend has a different widget. The keyboard showing up automatically wouldn't do anything because the widget doesn't accept text.
Also, what I posted is the same as iphone. iphone doesn't have widgets

Lockscreen wallpaper

Is there a way to make it follow the normal wallpaper, instead of having two separate - one for lockscreen, and one for desktop? One way is to just use the same wallpaper, via Album, but then it has to be cropped instead.

I dunno. Perhaps inconsistent wallpapers, due to the said cropping? I wouldn't have asked otherwise, if that wasn't the case.

Though it's not possible directly, what you can do is use gravity box and Xperia xposed modules. Disable scroll effect in Xperia xposed and set the same wallpaper for both home and lockscreeen.
