Does anyone know of a larger photo frame widget available? The stock photo frame is ok for most things but sometimes I want a larger one since I don't have all that many shortcuts on my home screen. I haven't found any yet and searching for photo or widget throws up too many results to sort through without a lot of effort. If there isn't one perhaps someone can tell me how to change the default widget to cover more than the 2x2 space it does currently.
I've also been searching/waiting for such a widget.
I've seen it in Rodriguez stiles screens
I have asked numerous times and have yet got a response
use ADW as your launcher, it will resize any widget.
*i'm at work and can't test whether or not it will fill the space you expand with the picture. it's worth a try, and if you weren't using ADW, you should be. =P
there was one called photoframe deluxe. however it seems the dev has stopped work on it and has removed it from the market. it was a paid for app but wasnt too bad. be good if someone could do something similar. the benefit of it was that it didnt ask you to resize the photos. it kept them original size and shrank them to fit if need be.
What about this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784791&highlight=frameme
The widget is only 2x2 but you get full screen when you click it.
Also like jamesd86 said if you are using adw as your launcher you can resize it to anything you want.

Is there anyway to modify the size of the photo widget, or is there an app that does this already in the market? I would really like a 4x2 or a 4x4 sized version.

if it is like the analog clock widget, then maybe the size of the image could be increased to occupy a bigger space. if you know how to sign update.zip's then you could try that
i would also be really interested in this, have tried many apps on the market but all take up the same space as the stock app

The DxTop home app gives you a choice of different size photo and clock widgets...
I am trying to avoid using a home replacement. does anyone know who figured out how to edit the clocks? i might shoot them a pm.
Hi, Ive only just stumbled upon Golauncher and editing my Desire HD.
Ive tried to create my own pics to add as a icon on my phone... I have looked at the different threads and dont know where to post this so here goes....
I am using Golauncher and desktop visualiser but when i add a pic to launch the icon i cant get the pics to fit the size of the space... i have tried editing them, making them larger, wider etc but cant get it right; i also tried resizing them with go launcher itself but the border doesnt fit tight to the pic. I have icons on my home screen but there are large gaps between them.
I need pixel sizes for all the different variations e.g 1x1, 2x1 etc
Any advice on what im doing wrong??
Thanks
I can't help with go launcher, sorry know not very helpful to original question, but I find desktop visualizer is ideal for this job. You can add an shortcut icon of any grid pattern size will add a box initially, just take a screen shot and edit on computer to match sizes exactly for your chosen grid pattern. It also resizes icons well to fit in anywhere, Im using it on launcher pro for a 7x7 grid cause standard icons always get cropped due to small space.
Like me, everyone probably saves their prettiest and most useful widgets for their homescreen. Since I'm so finicky, I like to see everyone else's homescreens to get ideas for new homescreen widgets/setup.
This is what mine looks like. What does yours look like?
If you're wondering what the widgets are...
Beautiful widgets weather widget
Moine-Garde S-01 timepiece widget
Pulse reader widgets

It's just the Pulse News Reader widget, it's not a custom widget.
Your widgets look great! I only have the agenda widget from launcherpro. I might set up pulse that way too, depends if I ever get around to adding feeds.
I don't see a way to do so on the one....maybe i'm missing something. Does anyone know?

HTC Launcher doesn't let you do that, you will need a 3rd party launcher.
I downloaded Nova Launcher from the Play Store. it will allow you to resize widgets
It depends on the widget but with the stock launcher when I added my calendar widget, I just held my finger on it, a blue border appeared and I stretched it to fill one of my screens.
Some widgets don't allow resizing by default and you need another launcher but ones like the calendar do.
Thank You Everyone
That kind of bums me out a bit... don't get me wrong i love some other launchers and stuff but i kind of like having my blinkfeed etc and keeping my phone like it currently is, just wish this was a function built in.....
This might be silly, but I've become rather partial to the stock news & weather widget (I think it used to be called GenieWidget?).
In CM10, it was 1Xwhatever because it was re-sizable. But in CM11, it's much larger and has a lot of blank space. I tried a different launcher that claims the ability to re-size widgets, bit it would only change the width, not the height. Maybe it's the widget?
Is there a way in KitKat to re-size widgets?
EDIT: It would seem to be a problem with the widget. When I go to place it, the pre-place window says it's supposed to be 3x1. Shouldn't that be 1x3 (according to the preview)?
Does anyone else use it?
