Is there any app that looks like genie widget (news and weather) + ability to add custom feeds?
I'm looking for a widget that can show my favorite site's rss on home screen with Auto-scroll through titles or articles.
if not, is there a way to hack the genie widget and add my feed option?
I would like that too. I think it´s wierd you don´t have the option to add specific feeds to the news.
i don't know if it would pick it up but could you just type the site name of the rss feed that you want in the options of genie widget? if it does pick up all their blogs it wouldn't be an rss feed exactly but would be close. i don't know if that would work but just a suggestion.
I can't really tell if you know this already from the OP, but in the Genie Widget you can go to Settings/News settings/Select news topics/Custom topic ..and add a search term, that essentially works the same as Google Alerts. You would search here like you'd Google Search on the web. So, I added "Nexus-One" as a custom topic and get all the same articles I get in my same Google Alert.
I haven't tested it out yet, but in theory a proper Advanced Google Search should get you the feed you want. Refer to this for search help. http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=136861

Hi,
I noticed that HTC removed their HTC News app and widget from Sense 4/4a.
Is there a way to get it working on Sence 4/4a ROMs?
And if not, what is the best replacement to its widget?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks! But I couldn't find it in Market. Did you mean FlipSocial maybe?
BTW, I didn't mention it before, but I'm looking for app where I can add my custom RSS feeds, and able to add my gmail (Google Reader) account, the HTC News could do all that.
The Google Reader app/widget is actually a good option which I'm using currently, just looking for other option also
minimal reader
You can use minimal reader. it is good customizable news widget.

Try that http://db.tt/2z9VGWTj
You still get a News and weather widget in Sense 4/4a. Isn't that sufficient
Miniread- new kind of news reading experience
Try out MiniRead news app. It shows the news updates in moving text style like TV news channels shows on the bottom screen(News ticker style).
It is very much customizable mini window and can be placed anywhere on the screen.
Just click on any news highlight and it'll open up in browser or youtube app depending on its web content or video.
Give it a try.

Now that Chameleon Launcher has hit the Google Play market for real, I thought it'd be a good time to start a thread on xda for widgets made for this very promising Android launcher.
NOTE: The URL to the Chameleon Launcher 'make a widget' page that contains all the information required to make a widget, including a template, is HERE
Please, post your creations below...
Cool! And I subscribed to this thread.
I want to dive into developing widgets because of the lack of them. Chameleon says we can use the source of their widgets.
So I wanted to make a EU style datetime widget but i cannot find the source of any widget except for an empty template.
There are links to the widgets landing pages but that only gives me the source of index.html. And I think I need more than just that.
Anyone knows more about it?
I published my question and then i thought that maybe i am posting in the wrong forum. If so, please Mod, teleport it to the right one.

Almost all the neccessary files are linked in the index.html; you can find all the stylesheets and javascript files there. Also, you know there is a manifest.xml-file in the template-folder, so maybe you can find that by adding /manifest.xml to the url. (don't know if it works!)
If I may request, a reddit widget that allows you to login to your reddit account and display your frontpage
Chameleon it's an overhyped %&^$ !
I regret paying my hard earned money to backup this &^*%&
Thank God Google didn't bought it to use as the future interface of Android ), it wouldve mean total surrender to Apple and it's ios.
@hobolooter - It's ure right to disagree, as it's my right to say it's and overhyped crap.
The idea behind it seems good but the result... :laugh:
Maybe with the help of the community it would become useful indeed - good, practical widgets needed ! , not just stupid widgets for the teenagers, which are cool for the first 10 minutes and after that....

Theres a lot to be improved.
Good luck with your work!
I disagree and think it was in poor taste to post that in this thread. The fact that they opened up HTML5 widget development that actually works well is awesome. I'm working on a few widgets myself and a starter kit that doesn't suck (the one they provide is nauseating to a js dev).

Regardless of what your rights are, this is a place for adults to discuss things..so please act and type accordingly. Thank you.
I personally wouldn't buy Chameleon until they lower the price but hopefully a thread like this will inspire development to spice it up. :good:

Yeah, good idea. I like that one...
Needs a decent calendar widget (needs similar functionality to GO Calendar, I haven't found better yet) and a News Republic widget before I'd consider purchase.
Also I hear custom wallpapers aren't supported?

You can use any wallpaper you like - just send it to Chameleon Launcher from the Gallery. No live wallpapers though.
Cool. Will a wallpaper changer app work too?

I'm gonna say no because I couldn't get one to work... probably because they're all essentially live wallpapers

Interesting... You tried the one by j4velin just called 'WallpaperChanger' on Google Play, as I don't believe his is programmed in such a way as to make it a 'live wallpaper' ?
Can your Chameleon homescreens slide/rotate like other launchers?
Sorry for hi-jacking, but I've been following Chameleon's progress and couldn't find these answers elsewhere.

Yeah you can swipe from one screen to the next
Still won't work because you have to "share" pics one by one with Chameleon for it to be available

Custom wallpapers are supported. Just share any image to Chameleon App.
I've been playing around with a Chameleon widget that displays unread emails from an IMAP account. It uses PHP (with the IMAP extension) to fetch and process the email headers on the server, which works nicely but is less than secure unless using SSL (which I am), since the email account credentials have to be sent to the PHP script in plain text.
I'll admit that I've had very little experience writing for Android--most of my recent work has been with Javascript and PHP. I seem to recall being told at some point that it would be either difficult or impossible to fetch email data from the native Android email app to use in an HTML5 widget platform like Chameleon. Is that the case? I'd prefer to get the data from the local device, particularly because I need to support Exchange.
If you've got more experience with Android's bowels than I do, can you confirm (or unconfirm) the information I'd been told? Is there a practical way to access the email files with Javascript?
Thanks!
D.
I tried it for 10mins and I think it sucked a lot on my Nexus 7, I think all the free ones are better I can see why it is paid but 10$ is kill.
Also I am surpsised we are allowing a PAID app to be supported on XDA we should delete this thread
Hi guys!
For the last few hours, I have been looking for some type of widget displaying missed calls and unread messages, for my widgetlocker lockscreen.
Ideally it would be showing when there are missed calls or messages, and be gone when there are none. Something like the notifications you'd see on the iPhone's lockscreen.
Something like the notifications on GO Locker iPhone Lockscreen HD by ProArt (Appearently I can't post links since I'm new here, but just search that on google play :3 )
Or perhaps the ones on Cute Lover Go Locker by KOOL HD GO LOCKER THEMES (Also on google play.)
Anyone know any widgets that would work for that? I'd be much appreciative, since I have been searching for a long time.
And I really don't know if I am just a bad investigator, or it just doesn't exist.
Personally, I hope for the first one.
Anyways. Thanks in advance!
Welcome, I hope your issues/questions gets addressed. Until then here is some information for you Thanks.

This is exactly what I am looking for. However, I am looking for something I can implement into my own Widgetlocker lockscreen that I made..

Hey guys,
hope this is the right forum.
I am searching for the name of an app, which is quite similar to the Sidebar (Pro) app. And by searching I mean I know that this app exists but I just forgot what the name was.
It installs a sidebar on the left/right side of the screen with a list of categories with every app you have installed inside. Afterwards you could put the apps in different categories and as far as I remember you could not create custom categories (at least at that time I was using the app).
I really hope someone knows the app I'm talking about.

There are a bunch of apps on the play store that add sidebars. Apart form the one you mentioned, here are a few- Swapps, Glovebox, Unity launcher. Hope this helps :good:
Unfortunately no those named are not the one. And yea I know there are alot but its quite hard to just search with "sidebar" :/
Edit: Alright I found it under "My apps" in the play store haha.
For those interested its called ReLaunch https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fiveprimes.relaunch

You can install a launcher i think. They are faster with their sidebars.
