[Q] Widget resizing - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In a previous version of Cm, there was an option to resize ANY widget.
Is there a workaround for this in CM12?
The particular widget I want to resize is the Google News and Weather 'Genie' widget, which doesn't seem to be available in the 4*1 size in Launcher 3 or the Google Now Launcher. It's available in that size in Apex launcher though. Not a fan. TIA.

[Q] Fancy Widget settings ...

How do i get Fancy Widget to display properly in landscape?
you dont buddy. its a glitch and can only be fixed by the developer updating the app. its the reason i gave up on it.
Has anyone found any good weather / clock widgets that display properly? I use ADW or LauncherPro.. I've tried tons of clock widgets, some with weather, but they almost all are distorted. I use Weather and Toggle widget now; it looks okay but just not exactly what I'm looking for. I'd like a nice big clock - 2x4 preferably.

Clock Widget apk?

I'm using the google play edition 4.3 rom, is there a way for me to get the clock widgets from Touchwiz back on to my device or an apk that i can download? its the one with the grey / transparent background that I'm after

Launcher WIDGETS

Is there a launcher that allows widgets to not have margins? I want my widgets to be close together. I cant find a way to do it.
You have to use something like nova and choose like a 10x10 grid..that's the only way I think would work.

Im using nova and any grid size just doesn't work right. Say you have a 4x2 widget. Then you set Nova to 10x10. Now set the 4x2 widget. To make it look right the size changes to 10x3. Just doesnt work. Basically I want to put 3 widgets on my screen. one thats a 5x2, 5x3 and 5x3. So I would need a grid size of 8x5. But If I set it to that the widgets dont fit at all. Its because the widgets have to be re-sized so big to look right.
BUMP Until I get a answer
The only suggestion I could find for your question isn't free. Next Launcher allows you to freehand resize all widgets (meaning does not "snap to grid" resize) , even overlap. This is the lite version so you can try before you buy...

Lefty is exactly right. I've been using next launcher 3D and that's actually one of my favorite features that NO other launchers can accomplish (that I know of).
Some widgets just have funky dimensions, so it's nice to able to resize and place them literally anywhere on the screen. They can partially overlap as much or as little as you'd like.
This can also be done with apps...it looks messy, but you can turn off the grid completely and place the app icons wherever you want. You can even rotate the icons! And I won't even get into all the 3d features...I could go on forever. This is by far my favorite launcher and I've used quite a few.

The issue im having is this. No matter what launcher I use. Next 3D included. If I make the GRID Size 10 x 5 I should be able to have many widgets on my screen. So a 4x2 weather and a 4x3 Pulse and then a 3x4 Hangouts Widget and then a 2x2 photo. So I should just need a 4 x 9 grid right. Wrong because the grid is so big the a widget at 4x2 ends up being a 4x4 to view it all. I need a launcher that allows the widgets to show correctly at the default widget size. So I want a 10 x 5 grid size to actually hold more then 3 widgets. Nova Launcher is the same way. Just with Nova you can adjust the margins anymore then the 3 sizes included. With next you can make your own. But still I cant fit the 5 widgets on my screen that I want. Weather, Gmail, Hangout, Photo, Pulse. I want all those in there default widget sizes. I dont understand why making the grid size bigger makes the widgets bigger. In windows or Mac OSX when I make the rez bigger it doesnt make anything else bigger.

Email Widget Font Size

Is there anyway to shrink the font size on the email widget? The widget is half my screen and I can only view 1.5 emails, I don't need it that big!
System Font size is set to Tiny.
What launcher are you using? With the default launcher it looks OK for me. Nova Launcher makes it use huge fonts. Other launchers just fail to display it at all -- GO Launcher crashes and Apex says the app isn't installed.
I'm using Nova
I suppose it can't hurt to add a vote for http://feedback.novalauncher.com/fo...arter-widget-resize-framing-scrolling-scaling
