I bought the phone being attracted to the really high specs and low price but i hate ColorOs . So i installed nova launcher, found out that there was no clock widget available. So i installed almost every single third party clock widget on the playstore as well as oppo app store.
Conclusion-None of them syncs to the system clock for more than 2-3 minutes. Disabled the killing process as well as all power saver toggles. Still no luck. Please help me.. i want to use third party clock widgets on this phone. :crying::crying:

I spent at least one day trying to find some apps that give me some very basic and easy functions and seems they doesnt' exist!!!
Just some examples:
- I want that on my homescreen there is a widget where I can see the latest/newest items in my google reader feeds/account.
I downloaded at least 10 different rss readers apps but NO-ONE has a widget that displays 2-3-4 or more lines with the newest titles The most near is a widget that show a 3x1 square with ONE line with the newest items switching between them every few seconds. I missed something? there is something like what I ask?
- I want that on my screen there is a widget where I can see what is appening in my facebook account. The FB for android widget shows only one/last post. The HTC FB widget shows too many things and you cannot use if you are using a non-sense rom or if resized it look really bad. The only alternative I found is the FB widget included in the LauncherPro... but what if I dont like LauncherPro?
- I want that on my homescreen there is a widget showing me my exchange/gmail mailbox: just sender: mail_object. Can be done with a very simple widget in the market for gmail, but not for exchange. To do this I had to pay and install a different mail client (Moxier) that has a widget like this...
I'm just wondering I will start to lear java to start developing my own apps

use any of the android builds that say Sense. HTC Sense on these ROMs have all of the above functionality for your homescreen.

Can I use the HTC sense widget also if I use a different launcher?

As far as I know, as soon as you disable the sense launcher bar and use a different one such as Launcher Pro Plus you lose all the Sense widgets so the answer would be no you cant.
Mark.

Right.. this was what I experienced.
I dont want to use Sense widgets because
1) I setted up my dpi resolution to 180 to have a "bigger" homescreen
2) I use launcherpro plus to have 6 rows x 6 colums on every home to insert more widgets
In this way I just power up my phone from standby and I see:
1) hour and day
2) weather
3) news from my choosen keywords
4) calendar with the upcoming events
5) what is happening in facebook
So my question still remains... we have the market full of useful apps that do anything.. but no app to do really easy things like show on an homescreen some datas...this is incredible for me...
I have to do them by myself
I just enclosed a screenshot of my Home Screen.. I know, is not "cool" but it's working for me and give me all the informations I need at a first look without having to scroll in different homescreens
But could be better if there were some better widgets available
You know what pisses me off, there is not even a reliable alarm clock app for android. All of them may let you down in a very critical time. But it is very good thet we can find 1000+ apps that does nothing!!!

what you means for "non reliable" ?
I mean alarm apps work most of the time but somettimes they do not. It causes you to be late for your schedule. I tried many apps. "Alarm Klock" is doing okay but still it fails to ring sometimes.
Also there are so many apps which only does one single simple thing. It is like you have 2 different apps for volume up and volume down. That fancy android market is empty in reallity.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to get a perfect weather + clock/alarm widget for me. I've been using Fancy Widget for a while, it works fine for me (I can see weather info, I can see time, I can see when the next alarm rings), except there's no direct access to Alarm for it brings me to clock setting instead (and I need another tap to go to alarm).
I've looked at Beautiful Widget, but a bit hesitant to buy it due to some battery drain comments. Does Beautiful Widget drains battery significantly on Arcs? Can it access alarm directly from the widget?
Thank you In Advance.
Give GO Weather a go (pun very much intended) ... Been using it & it's quietly elegant.

Hmm... I still can't go to alarm directly from the widget. Or will it always be like that until I install 3rd party alarm app?
I'm using beautiful widgets and having no issue at all with battery life. Very happy with it.

Can it access stock alarm directly like the stock clock widget when you tap it ?
If it's not possible, I probably would just stick with the fancy widget.
Your could do that in the past, (asigning whatever app you like to different areas of the beautifull widget)
i have not used it for 6 months thou.

Does use automatic Geolocation?
I'm currently running beautiful widget and i'm quite happy with it...
Best weather widget IMO is snowstorm. Small, elegant, customisable, skinnable. Updates based on location. Accurate forecasts.
Decent digital clocks are a problem, though - most of them are pretty ugly looking to me. Quite like the small sony one that's built-in, if only it opened the clock/alarm apps when you clicked it...
+1 for snowstorm
For the clock use "glass widgets" which will allow you to choose which app to launch once you have clicked it

Guys I've purchased a New S3, and what I've noticed is that the stock default clock widget doesnt refresh automatically on unlock. So there is always a difference in the notification bar time and the widget time. Only when I click on the widget it updates after opening alarm. What the hell is wrong with my phone?:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Are you using a task killer? If so, ignore it in the task killer.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
i have the same problem , no task killer
stock rom , siyah kernel
It used to work i don't know what happened i didn't change anything
Same. Didnt change anything. also no taskkiller installed...persistant issue.
Same issue here and I've tried Go Launcher/Apex with Beautiful Widget/Fancy Widget/Beweather Pro.
An unbelievable phone (knocks spots off of anything I've ever had) yet it can't tell the bloody time properly - really annoying!!!!
A quick fix is put it in landscape to redraw/refresh the screen to update the clock when I've brought the phone out of sleep. Not ideal, but at least the clock is updated. Maybe the JB update will fix this issue? Who knows!
The only widget I can get to work properly is the native weather clock. I don't want such a big widget so I've tried several different other clock widgets and they won't keep the correct time. I wish someone would find out what the problem is. I like the clocks in Beautiful Widgets, but they won't update.
Hello all!
Been using Themer for some days now, and it's just great compared to other launchers out there. I tried GO launcher but hated the ads and 'chinese style'. Tried Nova too, but it was too similar to TW in my use. Themer is both original and not-pushy.
I use the HUD theme, which looks great and keeps the kids away from my phone (because it looks so weird ). One thing I don't really care about is the weather. I have a weather app I use daily to check the weekly forecast, I go out a few times a day, I have windows in my house so I can check the weather by turning my head... I really don't need Themer telling me the wrong weather anymore.
So, my request: could someone swap the weather widget to show something else, like core temp? I know I could do it myself, but it would take weeks and most of you can probably do it in a few minutes.

Hi there!
Having something like core temp is a bit tricky, as the widgets we provide don't really include that option.
Have you tried going into Themer Settings - Weather - then changing your weather provider - this might fix your temp problem.
You could always post the theme's wallpaper (found in Themer Wallpapers in your Gallery) and we could try Photoshop the "temperature" text and replace it with something else instead?
Changing the provider doesn't help. It still shows 0 all the time.
I can't think of much else to fill the empty space with. While I was quickly checking how the themes are built, I noticed that there's a line in launchersettings.xml that looked weird:
Code:
<string name="com.mycolorscreen.themer.wallpaper_transistion">slide</string>
Is it really supposed to be 'transistion' and not 'transition'?
Anyway, onto the request again. I'm starting to feel OK with the weather filling the space. I think I have figured out something though: I have all my location things off, so it mught cause a problem for the weather widget. Ideally I'd like it to work so that you have an option to lock your location (just use the one it has now and lock it or type it in) and then it just regularly sends weather data on the same location to the widget. Now it seems to try to fetch your location, then send it to the weather service and that sends the data back to widget. I don't travel much so having a locked location would be a nice thing to have in the widget. Only time the widget has chances of updating the temp is when I go geocaching
Does it even work like that?
Hi guys,
First post here so please be gentle with me.
After having a Samsung S7 Edge for quite some time, i took the dive to purchase the Mate 20 Pro (8GB/256Gb model with 256gb NM card) as a replacement which i am very happy with. I did not like the default interface Huawei has put in the phone and so installed the Smart Launcher 5... an app which i had on my Samsung.
All is well and fine up until recently when my clock widget on the home screen no longer updates.. or when it does, requires opening/closing apps and multiple screen wipes before it updates. Pictures below.

I've retried reinstalling the Launcher, rebooting the device, restoring launcher from backup, changing the clock widget to another application, removing and readding the clock widget.
Not a major problem, more of an annoyance. Is this a problem with the app itself or an issue with the patch update? Currently running EMUI 9.0.0.171 (C636E10R3P2)
Thanks

Happens to me sometimes, I think its more to do with battery saving. When the phone is running low on battery it aggressively shuts off background processes, and I believe it closes the process that updates the widget or something similar. It rarely happens to me though, I made sure the widgets are allowed to run in the background. But every now again it does re-appear, mostly like I said when the battery level is low.
I am using Nova Launcher and the Transparent clock weather widget.
