I've been downloading/trying a couple of countdown widgets. But none that I need for. For my job I always have a certain 'time' that I keep track of and need a simple looking countdown widget that I can place in the lockscreen so when the first thing I see when pushing the power button would be that widget. Nothing big like years and days widget, just simple hours and minutes. Thanks... anyone??? Ok.
Maybe check out the widget Evulhotdog told me about in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749340
Lets you put any Home screen widgets you want directly into the Lock screen. Of course, that means you need a countdown/timer widget, right?
Oh yeah I purchased widget locker and had completely changed my phone. Now to find a countdown to place there......

flyscreen has a calendar widget? i think
what about using Widget Locker?
not smooth as i want. sometimes u can still see original lock screen :<
widgetlocker with smoothcalender widget (Y)
I skipped the installation of widgetlocker because it asked for permission to use the phone... it seems weird... What phone calls should make such an application?
Any other app does the same?
tnx

All apps that support older Android devices older than 1.6 automatically have this permission, and even those not meant for devices that old often still have it, usually because developers didn't know or were lazy - here's more information

Because you can add shortcuts to the screen to make calls I believe. The app itself obviously isn't making any calls.
WidgetLocker + Android Agenda Widget is my favorite.

yeah this is what i'd do also.
Another vote for Widget Locker. I use that with Pure Calendar widget to get my appointments on the lock screen.
can i use WL for my mytouch3g andriod 1.6?i dont want to root my phone,.
You don't need to be rooted to run WidgetLocker. I'm using it on an unrooted Evo with the pure calendar agenda widget.
A new widget came out called calendr that is pretty sweet. On the clean though if you like that type of thing.

I'm just trying to find a way to disable the weather wallpaper so my live wallpaper stays on after I unlock if I don't move the screen.
I know 1.5 didn't have it, so there must be some way to disable both it and the call to it, so it's like it was never there to begin with.
I searched, but came up with nothing I could use. I'm not sure entirely how it works, but there should be a line you can comment out somewhere or something.

If u mean the Weather Animation after unlocking the screen there is a option at the Weather Application.
I can't seem to find the option to shut it off in there anywhere. All I have is Update Automatically, Update Frequency, and Temperature Scale, and nothing else. ; ;
Am I looking in the wrong place for it or something?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
remove the widget then when you go to readd it, it will prompt you for animation after you select a city.
Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk
Hehe... Mine doesn't seem to want to cooperate. When I remove it and add it again, it doesn't ask for anything, it just GPSs my current location.
I tried the other two smaller widgets too, the ones that do ask for your location, but nothing ever came up about being able to disable the weather wallpaper.
This is pretty frustrating. lol It should be such an easy task. I mean really, am I missing something? All I wanna do is shut it off, even if I need to do a little programming to do it.

i remember there was a select location option and then the next screen asking for weather animations
i'm running AOSP now so i can't replicate and help you buddy
but keep looking
maybe download a different clock?
What is AOSP? I know I should probably know. lol

Is it possible to edit the buttons at the bottom of the desk clock. Right now they open: Alarm Clock, Slideshow, Music, Home
Is it possible to edit which program opens when you click that or rename the slideshow program and rename another app of my choice to open when i click it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it's doable. Just not by me. Try jschisurf on the evo threads. He just did a remap of the slideshow button to point to the HTC gallery so that button functions without having a seperate gallery. The Guy is a genius.

I would recommend Alarm Clock Plus v2. It looks 99% like the Google clock, and all the buttons (even the home button) are customizable. Also, it can speak time / weather on wake, and many other cool things. Will post later with some screens.

META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store

The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot

Ok, here is my report, takes a very long time to load the page. I could say the interface can be a little better like maybe add some words on the buttom. Side to side doesn't seem to work for me, maybe it was the website I was on.
Not bashing the widget, just want to provide constructive criticism based on my opinion. If the speed of the browser would be faster, it would be perfect. Also Idk if u could, can u select more then on place on the website to create a widget for? I didn't know how if u could
Edit: leaving 5 star feedback because I am sure u can fix everything in the future, thanks for ur hard work

There isnt much to be done about the browser im afraid. Re the interface, it will definitely be adjusted in futuer updates. Re multiple elements no this isnt possible its just a limitation of the os. Re arrows - they are contextual and are actually more like "expand left" rather than move left.
The widget constructor will be out tomorrow!
Widget Maker is out, you can find it here:

I'm using a custom ICS rom - Eaglesblood on my T-Mobile G2x.
When I attempt to place the widget on an open home page, I get the "type in a page url" screen that disappears after 10 seconds. Doesn't allow me to enter a web page. It then attempts to go back to the home screen but it freezes in doing so, leaving a "frame" where the widget would have been. After a minute or so all is normal again.

This is the first ive heard of something like this. After entering a url, did you press the "play" button to the right of the address bar?

What doesn't work? If it is not showing, you need to drag the widget window to a bigger size. If it is something else, please specify.

Well I may be slow because that worked on my home screen but not on my lock screen. The weather is not showing
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
When you are at the lock screen, try swiping down the screen, starting at the clock in the middle. It should slide out the weather. It is by design. At lock, the widget area starts minimized everytime. You can swipe it open, just like swiping open the notification area.
Hope that helps!

I'm loving Chronus, especially on the lockscreen . For the record, to get it on the main lockscreen page, you hold the clock icon on the lockscreen and remove it like the standard homescreen widgets, and then press the add button, and select Chronus.
Chronus has been cherry picked to AOKP. For the life of me I can't figure out how to put the weather widget on my screen (not lock screen), the clock is fine. I've searched high and low, I wonder if it's broken for the rom.

Go into the Chronus settings and enable the weather features there, it will automatically add the weather data below the clock then. Also, make sure you have expanded the widget box to make enough room for the extra info to show!

Same here. Using CM 10.1 on xt912 and the 'stock' trebuchet launcher. Weird the weather won't show data at all, but the calendar event stuff works just fine.
