How to put an widget at the center of the screen? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I uses an Israeli widget of popular news site.
I tried to put the widget at the center of my screen but I can align it only to left side or to the right side.
The widget is 2x4 and I can't resize the widget (Like I do with gmail\calendar widget).
Anyone know how to stretch the widget or how to center it?
I added a picture to show how it's looks, but it is in Hebrew so sorry for that.
(I painted an arrow to mark the widget)
Thank you !
Ohad.

if you are rooted then use g3 tweaksbox and change the LG launcher homescreen to a custom grid size with a width of 6 rather than the default 5.

use Nova launcher

No need to have a 3rd party launcher. Just tap and hold the widgets and from there you can see all four corners. Put your finger in there and you can drag what size you want

I know this option, But on this specific widget I don't have the four corners and change the size.

You gotta use a third party launcher, there's no way around it

How to get app drawer icon on the home screen?

Does anyone know how to add the app drawer icon to the home screen?
I have attached a link to a home screen image showing the app drawer in the top right corner.

Easiest way is to use a custom launcher such as apex or nova and put it in tablet mode.
For launchers, tablet mode is what they used to call it when the drawer icon was in the top right corner and there was no dock.
It's not used by default even on actual tablets now, at least on the stock launcher.
ya use nova launcher prime

Thank you for the info. Do you know why they have gone away from the tablet mode on the more recent tablets?

LG Health app missing?

Hey gang,
I can't find the shortcut to launch the LG Health app. It's NOWHERE to be found on my phone! I know the app is installed as I can access it via the 'G' screen on the left of the home screens. I don't have any apps hidden in the app drawer either.
Can any of you guys see it in your app drawer?
You have use the LG extra page, whatever the name, to see it. You can't start the app itself it seems.

Really?
How rubbish! I won't be using that then.
Thanks
Yeah you can only use the widget at the home screen.
Is there some smart app to create your own shortcut maybe? A lot of LG stuff goes out the window if you start using another launcher.

I've just done that very thing!
I'm using Nova and I've made an shortcut to a Nova 'Activity' which exposes everything the phone can do pretty much.
If you're not using Nova there are apps in the store that will do the same. Smart Shortcuts is one.

Interesting.... Have you found one that gives you access to the Widget 'Smart Notice'?
That is the one widget I would like to use with Nova.
It's also a shame Nova does not give you access to LG Health by means of a separate home screen. Yes you can do as you say, make a shortcut Activity to LG Health but an icon is not the same as swiping to its own widget style home screen!

Launchers

What Launcher are you guys using? I personally use Nova, paired with the G3 stock ui is a pretty sweet combination and improves performance.
Apex, pretty much the same
Nova all the way.
But I'm wondering how Nokia's zLauncher is. And/Or will the 18k plus laying off of jobs by Microsoft will affect zLauncher?
I use Nova too but original LG widgets are unable to load on Nova. Anyway workarounds?

I'm using LG Home for the LG widgets. I really like their calendar widget. I wish the left panel was a bit more useful, though. I'll probably eventually switch back to Nova.

Tried both LG launcher and Nova Prime. Nova is significantly snappier than the LG launcher so I went that route.

I usually always use Nova, but since day one I've used LG. Sure I'll end up using Nova but once you go there....your there! I'm trying to hold out and give stock a chance. Makes my phone still feel new instead of the same themes I've used on my S5, on my Note3 on my Nexus, Etc etc etc.......
I'm still optimistic about getting my LG Smart World themes to work.
I wonder if I can port Touchwiz Themes from my S5?????

The way I have it now is;
Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Then set double tap in Gestures (Nova Settings) to launch Screen Off. Works perfect, however I would love to find a solution without the use of a third party screen off app.
Thanks, that works great!

I'm using the G3 TweaksBox exposed module and there is an option for a double tap of the notification bar to turn the screen off. It doesn't work on the whole screen, but just the notification bar, so you have to have good aim. Lol. But it does work well.
Nova is working flawless for me

Double tapping the status bar works by default on stock to turn the screen off.

Yeah, Go is bloated. Nova is awesome. Also, if you are using Gosmspro, try Chomps instead.

Matches the mint green robin nicely
Just got the phone yesterday, loving the size! Not done yet but here are 2 screenshots, one is the stock launcher and the other is nova. Nova is plain I know but I hate change and have been using this layout for years.
I really like the stock launcher I wish I could theme the other icons to match. I like the mint green.

Is there any way to get a clean desktop on the Robin without changing launchers? I like to use photos of my family and pets as wallpaper but am stumped by the lack of an app drawer on the stock launcher.

Sorry, I don't know how to do that on the stock launcher.
It's difficult for me to use the stock launcher thoughtfully.

Praos Icon Pack
Chronus Forecast with Marshmallow Weather Icons
Nova Search Widget
Sleep as Android Alarm and Sleep Tracking Widget
Each icon on the desktop and dock is a folder matching a folder in the app drawer; each one corresponds to a category of app. A tap opens the first, or most used, app in each folder, and all other apps are available with a swipe.

They're from Sleep as Android. One displays the next alarm time, and the other activates the app's sleep tracking features. All I did to get them there was I enabled widget overlap in Nova Launcher, and then I placed them. You have to kind of finagle the widget sizes to get that spacing, but it's not hard.
