Does a "blank canvas" widget exist? I really like the contacts widget I currently have but would like to drop them into a widget to scroll through them instead of placing them directly on the screen. Hope that makes sense. I know there are contact widgets on the market that do that, but the style and look of Animated Widget Contact looks really clean to me. Thanks for the help!

I have a completely clear screen with no widgets or icons on it, and whenever I try to put any of calender widgets it just says there no more room on the home screen. I also tried others ones and it didn't work like the contacts widgets...any idea whats going on?
Thanks
I think I figured out the problem, but not sure how to fix it. I have the paid version of launcherpro where you can resize widgets, the problem is the widget space twice as big as the widget itself and it will not let me resize up or down, only left and right.
Because of this I can only put one widget per screen cause of that "space" that it somehow taking up.
I think because the calender widgets are big and design to fit the screen, that the extra space is causing not to fit, therefore the message comes up "no more space"
Any idea on how to fix this?
check to see what your homescreen grid looks like (i.e. num of columns/rows)
its in the launcher pro preferences / homescreen settings
Thank you!
default is 4 rows and 4 columns.

Please use the search...
Pay version of launcher pro has widgets similar to sense with the exception of the clock.
For the clock, you need the pay versions of either Beautiful Widgets of Fancy Widgets. I know for sure Fancy Widgets has skins to make the clock look identical to the sense clock. It also has screen on animations and weather animations when you open the weather.
A number of third party messenger and calendar apps also have their own widgets.

yea i was watching a video on youtube of fancy widgets but the animation when u unlock the phone does not work right and a another Q how do u put the signature (like the one u have after the line ) in here cuz i been looking around in my profile and i dont see any part for signature
Screen unlock animation worked fine for me. I think beautiful widgets has one too. Neither are as good as sense though. Worth the sacrifice for me though since I don't really like Sense.
Look under quick links at the top of the screen. One of them is edit sig.
ICS is driving me a little nuts... First the normal weather and news app cannot seem to find my location. It won't even find me if I manually put it in, city or zip code. Is this because I'm in the US or is this broken?
Second, is there any way I can fix the widget spacing? I put the news, a calendar widget and weather widget on my main page. No matter if they are HTC or Android, the spacing between the widgets is huge and looks terrible. Even adjusting the widget size leaves a huge amount of unusable space.
Appreciate any help!

I noticed the huge gap also in the widgets. I kept trying to move the Google Search widget under the clock and weather but wouldn't go close.
I am guessing this is how it is in ICS?
Anyone find a solution, or are we just the minor few that care?
Unfortunately, between this and the battery life I'm considering returning mine and sticking with my Note.
EDIT: The weather widget is still funky, but I went under settings and even though it wouldn't accept a manual location I used automatic then forced a refresh and it sometimes works.

Unfortunately, despite the large real estate the screen provides, the homescreens are still laid out in a 4x4 grid. So, no matter where you put it, it will still show a gap. Makes no sense, I know. They could've laid everything out in a 5x5 grid. Kinda wastin space. They coulda laid the Vivid out in. 5x4 grid, but they didn't. Sux to have wasted space like that.
You can use Nova or Apex launchers and go to as much as a 7 x 7 grid.
Hoping someone can help me....
I am running ditto's latest RC2 with S5 Mod. I have also installed x2 fakejaps pullup as was posted on the ditto thread. This Mod changes the launcher to 5x6. I have also installed the 5x2 weather clock to match. The problem I am having is I usually use favourite contacts widget on one of my homescreens, but fav contacts widget is only 4x and when I drag it to homescreen it is out of line (sides of widget chopped off). I want to either change the fav contacts widget to 5x or get the 4x homescreens back but still keep the working x2 pullups.
Can anyone I ive me a guide on how I can do either of these options?
Thanks in advance
Scotty.
Hello!
I'm about to make a zooper widget pop up when I press another ZW on the screen. But, on my S5 and Nova Launcher I have a 7x6 grid, and when I try to choose which zooper widget to pop up, with the popup widget, I can't find the 6x1 og 6x2 grids, only 7x1 and 7x2 (plus the other smaller ones).. Any way to make a 6x1 pop up? They are different, he said stating the obvious, so they don't match when putting upon eachother, and thus my purpose fails..
Thanks a bunch!!
