ADW / Weather & toggle widget - Droid X Themes and Apps

anyone noticed an issue with these two? havent quite figured out who's at fault, but here's the deal...
when you're in adw and you try to add a weather/toggle widget, adw will normally ask you to confirm the widget size, well, weather widget goes right into setup never allowing you to set the size and so it never triggers the widget... vicious loop everytime you try to add, works fine with beautiful widgets... and weather n toggle used to work fine too, but there's been quite a few updates lately...
any thoughts on this?

It works fine for me. All you do is add the widget, configure all the settings in window that pops up, then press back and it will take you back to the home screen with the floating resizing window.

[Q] Screen Orientation Change/Rotation Causes Widgets to Reload

I just had a quick question in regards to screen rotation on the Transformer and wanted to see if everyone else is having the same result.
On my home screen I have both icons and widgets. When I rotate the tablet to go from landscape to portrait, or vice versa, it successfully changes the screen orientation; however, it causes the icons to take a second to reload and the widgets take a bit longer, almost as if they have to "boot up" again. Is this normal for Honeycomb and is everyone else seeing this happen?
The widgets I have that I am referring to in particular are the gmail and mail widgets, alongside the calendar widget.
I am un-rooted and running stock honeycomb with no custom launchers or anything. I just wanted to see if this was normal behavior, or something that only I am experiencing. Thanks.
Yep, it's normal. Mine does it also.

How do you tunr the sound off for the homescreen weather?
I have gone into the weather and chosen to dissable sound effect but whenever the weather updates on the homescreen the sound is back!
Any Ideas?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Took me a while to work that out.
When you are in the live wallpaper selection screen, scroll to the weather wallpaper, hit "preview" and then you will find a "settings" button. Low and behold there is a tickbox to turn the sound off.
Out of interest, do you find that the weather live wallpaper (and in fact all live wallpapers) reduce the framerate of the carousel after a while. It seems fine to start with but then slows things down. I would really like to use the weather wallpaper but low frame rates annoy me - as it makes the phone look slow when I am showing it off.
Thanks for the solution, been annoying me since I got the thing. Now just need to solve the car dock issues
You cold just open weather app, go to settings, untick last option .
Thanks freco, but that does not work. If you have weather background set the only way to get rid of the sound effectst is via the background/preview/ settings.
The easiest way to do it is to remove the clock widget from the homescreen and then add it back. When you add the clock widget back to the homescreen it will give you the option for the weather animation and sound. I would just remove the animation all together. There really is no point to it and its using precious resources.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Has anyone run across an alternative weather sound set for the Sensation?
The "Sunny Day" sound effect is almost as annoying as fingernails on a
chalkboard to me. The rest are ok.
Even if you happen to know the name of the file and it's location would be
helpful (I could try deleting that sound alone and cross fingers that it doesn't
eff up forcing me to reflash).
Thanks.

[Q] Question about WidgetLocker/ADW notifier

Hi,
I have question about Widgetlocker and ADWnotifier. Is anyone can get these work to show up count in lock screen? I use Go Launcher Pro. But Widgetlocker documentation said ADWnotifier works fine without ADWlauncher, how ever I can not get it work...
(Go launcher notification works fine in home screen but not in wideget locker lock screen. )
Any one using this?
Edit:- May be I am wrong earlier, It seems working though now. Still like to hear from others. [Earlier I has GoDialer, GoSMS on lock screen now I placed default dialer, sms application option from widgetlocker options which seems working)
Exact same setup. Go Launcher Pro, Widget Locker, and ADW Notifier. Works fine. If you run into problems again, just change the icons/apps on the lockscreen.

Time desync between system and widgets.

it's happened quite a few times now with various weather/clock widgets (Simi Clock, Beweather, Beautiful Widgets Clock Weather) that they show a different time than what Android shows in the status bar.
Just now, the BeWeather weather clock widget has gotten stuck at 18.38. I can fix this with a reboot but it's annoying and I don't want to have to keep rebooting.
Any ideas?
hey there !
it sounds like you've either supercharced your phone or check the option of "lock homescreen in memroy".
the first one is a script that you can run and makes you save the home screen as-is.
either way there's an option to disable it to stop the "supercharge" nor uncheck the option on rom settings.

[Q] Vanishing Widgets with JB

Hi,
Just got HTC One X today and immediately updated to JB. After installing my apps and setting it up, I noticed that certain widgets would disappear from my home screen (Nova Launcher) and from lock screen (WidgetLocker). Only certain widgets - Battery Widget Reborn, Power Toggles, Smooth Calendar. After a reboot, they show up as grey boxes and I would have to tap and setup the widget again. Also noticed that SwiftKey would no longer be set as default keyboard and I would have to disable/re-enable to be able to choose it again.
Messed around and it's the same behavior with the stock launcher but with that, they the widgets just disappear altogether.
I did a system erase and pretty much nothing installed, same behavior. I've played with every setting to see if that had an effect but no different.
Has anyone encountered this or have any ideas on what's going on?
Thanks in advance.
Jeff
