Hi,
It's about time I made one of these threads for my widget BattStatt Free and BattStatt Pro.
Many of you know what BattStatt is already, but for those of you that don't:
BattStatt is a home screen widget, presenting the current battery level of you Android device in text. So if you have 54% battery it will display "Fifty four percent".
It comes in a free and a paid (pro) version.
I have entered BattStatt into the Swedish Application Developers Contest in hope of winning a trip to Google I/O 2011 or a MacBook Pro, please vote for me BattStatt on SADC (in swedish)
BattStatt Free on AppBrain
BattStatt Pro on AppBrain
BattStatt Free includes:
- Four widget sizes: large 4x1, medium 2x1, small 1x1 and small with numbers 1x1
- Some color support for text (a pre-set list of colors)
- Available in English or Swedish.
BattStatt Pro, however, contains loads more:
- Three widget sizes: Same as above but not the small with numbers, this is an option for all sizes now.
- Custom fonts!
- Text shadow.
- Custom color, pick any color you want for all of the different words.
- Custom font sizes.
- More languages: Danish, Dutch, German, English, French, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish.
- Widget tap options, choose from a list of things to happen when pressing a widget.
TODO list for next version of BattStatt:
- Show the values of the color picker while adjusting them
- Being able to manually set the color values, not just by sliding the bars
- Custom shadow options
- More options to the caps and boldify options for the action text.
- Open whatever you want when tapping the widget.
F.A.Q
Q: How can I use custom fonts?
A: By creating a folder in the root of your sdcard called .battstatt they will automatically be registered and appear in the font chooser in the configuration screen.
Q: Can you add language X?
A: Yes, if you can provide the information for me. What I need is the translation for: numbers 1-20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, Fully charged, Empty, Percent. And if your language have some special counting rules like are you using an "and" like in german or dutch? Do you say the number part before the ten part etc.

For some reason Samsung Galaxy S users running Froyo 2.2.1 have reported that BattStatt doesn't work. Unfortunately I can't do a proper debug since I don't have access to this device. Logs from users running this setup are more than welcome to send me their device log after removing/adding/removing etc. to see if anything goes wrong in there.

Will post/attach pertinent logcat data soon to help with Samsung Galaxy S on 2.2.1 problems!
Edit:
This is the only reference to battstat I found in the logcat after placing a 2x1 widget on an empty homescreen. Funny though, now isntead of LOADING I just have an invisible widget. lol.
Edit 2:
Here's the full logcat file attached. Weird thing is, when I rebooted and decided to test again, I still get invisible widgets but then logcat makes no reference to your app after I added one widget of every size..Just remove .txt extension of the .log file.

I have uploaded 1.0.6 with some fixes, dunno if they solve the probs for SGS 2.2.1 users, but hopefully.
Curious what font you were using because I wanted to do an icon for the traffic application on my phone and have it matching.
Loving the battstatt app.

Thanks for the fast fix-attempt update! I'm having market problems right now, but I 'll download and report back asap. I'm leaving the house soon and won't have internet access so that might be in a few hours time.
I hope the logcat I posted was able to help you with preparing a possible fix.
EDIT: 1.6 seems to be working! I've tried adding all three widget sizes and they're all visible now and update as they should. Will play around with settings but so far so good!
Thanks and good job!

By default BattStatt is using the default Android font, droid-sans it's called.

Yes, SGS 2.2.1 users have been sending reports that it works. BattStatt Free will get the same fix today when I get home from work.
Both versions of BattStatt are updated just now:
Free version:
Should fix the SGS 2.2.1 issue
Crazy-old text alignment issue fixed
Pro version:
"Percent" string should now be hidden if battery is fully charged or empty
Hi!
I like this app a lot but it's only available in english and swedish.
I'm spanish so I made this evening my own translation to spanish, can you add it to your application?
The only thing that needs to be fixed is:
- Numbers in english: seventyone
- Number in spanish: setentaYuno and I see it like "setentauno" without Y
Thanks!
It seems like some users are still experiencing problems with BattStatt on SGS 2.2.1, so the hunt for a solution goes on.

Both Free and Pro version should now be operational on Samsung Galaxy S 2.2.1
Seems like BattStatt has gotten a "competitor": Battery Text Widget
And also, BattStatt Free is from today one of the apps in AppBrains Top10 list: Hot tools
Just gotta figure out what to do with it next to make it (even more ) awesome.
Anyone knows what happened to this app? I have updated my phone and it's removed from the Play Store.
Yeah dude. It's super mega abandoned since a couple of years ago! You can find it on github if you'd like to give it a try and make it work.
Why you removed the app from the Play Store? Any problem with Google?
PS: After christmas I'll try to work in an update based on the code in github

You know, the usual: too little time, got bored, need to update to be able to keep on Play, but didn't have the time or resources to do so, so it was removed.
I also completely stopped using Android and am no longer working with it.
So yeah.
Good luck dude/dudette!

By fully editable, does this mean it will work on a Tab, 5x1 or 5x2? It looks really nice, and I am looking for something for weather on a Tab. Thanks for your work on this, even if it doesn't work on a Tab I will put this on my Fascinate or D1.
I played with it for almost 10 minutes and couldn't even figure out hoe to show a clock. All i see are color and alignment settings. Color and alignment of what i can't figure out.

After you add the first panel (canvas or stack) then you long press to add other elements. After talking with another user I see there is a need for a simple editor in addition to the advanced editor. I'm open to ideas on how that should work.

Send me the logcat output when you get FCs so I can track them down.
As a side note, I have the weather ready. I don't have all the features that I want to support but at least the basics work. My next task is to make a create wizard that will walk you through the steps of making a simple layout. Once I get it ready I'll release the next version.
If you could add missed calls/sms/email in a simple minimalistic way like TxMissed Widget is supposed to do (it's really buggy, and dev has no time to mess with it) I would love you long time! And it's something I would definitely pay for.

That shouldn't be too difficult. I was also interested in what devmil did with Minimalistic Text and tasker. My plan was to replicate that as well.
Please do! And I'm sure I'm not the only one who would really want it, even if you put that feature in a pay version.. Otherwise you need to get your donate to me button added.

Integrating tasker variables is a great idea. Maybe even as attributes e.g. text(%TXTCOLOR;%TXTSIZE;%TXTFONT).
How about calling it Midget?

The way I handle properties should allow tasker variables easily. In fact you should be able to set everything through them if you wanted.
Google is getting ready to allow in app purchases so I think I will just have a free version that you can donate from the app.
Midget doesn't quite work. I'm looking for something that describes it. Like make your own clock or minimalistic text.

2011 07 06 EDIT: The latest beta can turn on or off any widget size from 1x1 to 4x4.
2011 07 01 EDIT: The latest beta can use any graphic from the sd card as a bit.
2011 06 26 EDIT: The latest beta version includes the ability to launch any shortcut from any bit. We need help testing this new feature.
2011 06 15 EDIT: The latest beta version includes integration with Tasker. We sure could use some help testing this new feature.
EDIT: BITS Widget is now version 1.0 and is available in the Android Market.
---Original Post---
I've been working on a widget for several months and I'm just about ready to show it to the world, but I want to make sure it's ready.
I've been running the widget on four different phones. The widget runs perfectly on all but one. On that one, it crashes (force close) about once a day at random times and I've been unable to track down the problem. I'm hoping to get the widget running on some different hardware and software combinations to see if a pattern emerges.
If you're interested in giving a hand, I would appreciate some help.
The name of the widget is BITS, which stands for Bits Is The Stuff.
BITS is a home screen widget with a WYSIWYG editor that allows the user to add, remove and arrange bits of information on the widget face.
Each bit can be configured to launch a shortcut when it is touched on the widget face.
Currently the widget can show the following bits of information:
Date
Time
Location (from GPS or locked to specific one)
Moon Phase (graphic)
Sun or Moon Phase (graphic, sun during daylight, moon phase at night)
Sun or Moon Phase with Weather (same as above with weather conditions superimposed)
Temperature (in C° or F°)
Cloud cover (text description)
Weather conditions (text description)
Humidity
Air Pressure
Wind Speed (kt)
Wind Speed (mph)
Wind Direction (deg)
Wind Direction (cardinal)
Weather Station
Sunrise (time at location)
Sunset (time at location)
Next Alarm
Battery Level (percentage)
Battery Charging (“charging” or “”)
Battery Temperature (in C° or F°)
Battery Voltage (mV)

Available file space

What a way to make a bad first impression.
I made a typo in my obfuscation script (which I don't use while programming and debugging) and didn't test the published version before I posted.

Thanks so much for helping out. I appreciate it.
When you first go into the configuration, does the lower half of the screen show any text at all? It should start with, "Touch a bit to select it and ..."
If you are able to, would you mind posting a screen shot of what it looks like before you select an item?

Please tell me which version you have.
You can find the version number on the "about screen" which is available by hitting the menu button on either the configuration screen on the main program screen.
You can get into the configuration screen by tapping in the upper left corner of the widget. You can get to the main program screen by running the main program from the apps drawer.

GWL is a new free Lockscreen that focuses on the comprehensive use of widgets on the screen lock is designed so that everything you put in it are widgets and therefore supports 100% of existing widgets for Android.
In addition, following this philosophy incorporates a unique unlock, any knowledgeable person can develop their own widget that will help unlock the screen and to prove "GWL unlock button" is incorporated into the app.
Also I liberate a miniSDK for users with more limited knowledge you can design your own release buttons/widgets.

If not using a menu from the list of widgets, you should appear seamless.
Anyway I mean all those in the market.
It is possible that some extreme launcher modifications as MIUI got some problems, so there is this phase of beta testing, to identify best and fix them.
Ill help. how do i get the app?
Love this app
Give me a chance to be beta tester!
Thanks!
I'd love to be a beta tester as well, I could even test your mini SDK if you like me too.
Let me know
Tiwiz
nice one, will give it a shot.
does it support a "passive" mode (that is, non-interactive) for the widgets? that would be very neat for most widgets I can think of putting on my homescreen. I basically need status information like weather, unread messages, todos/agenda, and stuff like that. being able to make those widgets passive would allow me to get information from them without compromising the lockscreen's actual purpose which is preventing the phone from unwanted input.

My feedback
Hi,
i gave it a try and here is my feedback:
when adding a widget, the title is still in another language
The widgets can't be moved
after unlocking, it goes into 'car mode', please change
The setting "use secret code" doesn't stay highlighted even though it is an active option
Also for the custom wallpaper, so i think i can say that active options doesn't stay highlighted
The security code can't be swype (with swype beta), if this is not an option it should be mentioned
It isn't clear or explained what "use the force" does...
When i press the "home" button, it locks in stead of going back to the home screen
Disabling functions isn't really possible because nothing stays highlighted
When disabling your app it goes back to the default lock screen (glass) and not back to the previous one, in my case the security lock with swype.
I have a SGS2 phone with the cognition ROM v1.31
I hope this helps you further programming. I have to say i like the idea very much. Maybe in the future you can have certain apps as well, like phone, whatsapp, messaging. So that when you unlock you can go to these apps.
Keep up the good work. good luck.
ok im going to give it a go i will report back any issues i have
hi,i have tried it on on my rom but it gives me fc!!
Hi mate, nice app.
I tried it and I have som suggestions.
The default "unlock" system is too easy, I think u should provide at least one scrollable unlock button as default to avoid accindentally unlocks.
Another suggestion, I found it hard to place widget in some positions of the screen, maybe u should implement something to move widget when they are placed. Something like a menu entry "Move Widgets" should be good.
Sorry for my bad English
CYA
i'll definitely try this out
Very good, here are some suggestions
Fix the wallpaper to fit the screen.
But more importantly, add a mode in the app itself to trigger an editing mode which will allow you to move widgets around in the lockscreen. It would also be awesome if you were able to add different unlock modes, like vanilla unlock, drag a bar down, touchwiz unlock, sense 3.0 unlock. These are just ideas, but so far no problems. Good job.
Also please add descriptions to the settings, I didn't understand a couple like jedi mode.
seems good so far. any plans for offering an API for 3rd party developers to let them lock/unlock the lockscreen?
I love you guys!
Thank you for this amazing collaboration I have in mind all your suggestions.
-I liked the "passive mode", it was something I wanted to add.
-As you move from place widgets is more complicated, but of course I will try to implement it.

Yes, I plan to publish a small sample code with the unlock button on googlecode on a few days.
But if you desire to keep trying is as simple as that when it's time to send the signal to unlock use this public broadcast:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("com.firezenk.gwlads.kill");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
----
It seems that the program is not currently compatible with MIUI if anyone could send the LogCat from time to give FC would appreciate it very much.
These are the issues I had so far:
-Soon after I added a widget it crashed without any warning messages.
-Could not remove the widgets in the usual method, had to use the Menu>Remove all widgets option
-Sometimes Launching the locker does the same thing as pressing the home button.
-Car Mode got enabled
-When adding a widget the title is still in Spanish(?)
-Could not find a way to launch the application settings.
Using: HTC Desire with CM7.1 RC1
SOLVED -Disabling functions isn't really possible because nothing stays highlighted
SOLVED -When disabling your app it goes back to the default lock screen (glass) and not back to the previous one.
SOLVED -Car Mode got enabled.
SOLVED -When adding a widget the title is still in Spanish(?)
Thanks guys

About the launcher:This launcher works on high end devices including tablet with 1080p resolution and the low/mid end devices with 240p resolution AND Kindle Fire as well.
I'm not the developer of this app but I'm part of the testing group for the 360 Launcher at the 360 company. I'm the first one to translate the launcher into English as it was requested by users on November 2011 before it has an Official English translation. But, starting from Beta 1.2 it is in English and I still help the company on translating versions 2.1+ into English. Thank yken for telling us about this launcher and some other users who have sent me messages to encourage me to continue translating. Finally, I've completed translating this application.
If you are any of the translator from English to other language, please drop me your site and file host URL and I'll add those link to this thread. Thanks!
Love this launcher? Just do me a favor, share this thread together with the URL of this thread to your favorite location and don't forget to leave a comment on what you think. Again, I'd like to Thank everyone who share, use and enjoy this launcher with anyone, anywhere!

Questions & Answers (Q&A)
I have ABC...XYZ not working / not usable / force close / etc... What should I do first?
A simple reboot might solve this problem.
I'm unable to use ABC...XYZ widget.
HTC widgets, Xperia widgets or any phone with stock widgets are unable to use in this and (almost) any launcher. Those widgets are set to use in the selected launcher by the company only.
Can I get the weather working? I don't want to know how sunny is Beijing.
The company is searching for company to provide international weather, international weather support will be added soon.
I want to make my own theme. How???
You can make your own theme by editing the icons in the theme apk.

This is really cool. i like how it can import setting/layouot/application shortcuts from other launchers.
I have this now on the lateest MiUi I am running (MiUiScottland) and seems to be all good. It even seems to be styled a bit like MiUi.
The weather widget does not seem to want to find me in Tasmania, Australia.
I like to folder animation, reminds me a bit of Simi Folder and I think the standard GB folder.
Thanks for the translation
I have just downloaded two themes for the launcher and they download fine but are nowhere to be seen. You can not see them to select them in the themes options..
Is this a bug due to translation? Can it be fix? Or is there something else that needs to be done apart from downloading them to get it to work?
Thanks

No no, I only translate the app. I only translate the special file with Chinese word into English. I'll take a look.
Ok, first press download. Then a installation page will come out. Press install. And the theme can be seen now.

BTW, any requests feel free to ask
So to anyone using it would you like an option rather than to display date you could also choose from something like "Today, 5 hours ahead" ?
Also thoughts about something like this for displaying time rather than traditional numbers?
New update:
Added a date preference in settings where rather than show date next to time it will display as something like Today, yesterday, tomorrow and hours behind/ahead. See screenshot:
New update:
- Date calculator

Will give it a try and then give you some feedback.

Thanks! Hope you like it
I like it.
And here is my first impression.
Simple and easy use, which is good.
First time starting, it takes a bit for the "processing", maybe you want to consider renaming that to something like "Initialising first use or start or ..." this way a user won't get impatient nor wonders if that will now happen everytime.
I like that it asks to choose a color for the picked city, that is good, maybe you can also add custom color at some point.
Also I would rename "duration calculation" to "days since".
The widget is cool since it switches from city to city. Maybe later you can add custom duration times.
One thing about the widget is that the text is small compared to widget size.
At some point I would also add a dark theme.
So I hope you like my review/thoughts/impressions.
All in all is this a great app, especially for people travelling allot or who have work with people in different time zones.
Will continue using it and keep you posted on my impressions.

Thanks, glad you like. Yeah you are probably right about changing that to something like Initializing database. Definitely want to do a dark theme and add more widgets too!
Updated with time zone converter
BTW, anyone think of some useful tools I can add?
Updated with a week number calculator. Enter a week number and year and get back the start date
Update:
I've added a pin local time option in settings. With this you can pin current local time to the top of the list or set your own time zone and use that instead.
Hi,
This looks interesting, thanks for all the work so far, but would you be able to provide some screenshots of the widgets in action? I would only ever use the widget, I'd probably never use the actual app other than the initial set up... (though it does look really nice!)

Thanks, I've installed it but for some reason I cannot resize the widget down, seems it can't go smaller than 2 rows. Is this by design, or a bug, or just a problem on my phone? I'm using Xperia home launcher, with an xposed mod to set the grid to 6x5, and allows me to resize any widget to any size - and it's working fine with other widgets, I can make them anywhere between 1x1 and 6x5 without problems.

Yeah that is how it is for now. Shouldn't be a problem in an update though to allow resizing
