Hi Guys,
I've just published a different type of analog clock to the google market. It has a seconds hand and it works on all launchers. It is currently 3x3 as i felt that was just the perfect size for this widget. Let me know what you guys might feel about the size and i can decrease it if the general concusses is to do so. Give it a try and let me know what you guys think about it. ALso, let me know of any bugs with it or any other suggestions.
I don't think there will be any future updates as I'm pretty happy with the widget. I will still work on the bugs, and any suggestions that make sense in this widget.
I'm however working on another similar widget but which will also have the date and/or location, so you can add multiple of them and show time in different locations. That widget will most likely be at a cost, but I haven't decided yet.
The screenshot is attached at the end of the post along with a qr code to the market link.

Edit:
I've finished work on the full version of the widget, which includes a date section. There are also some more clickable sections of the widget, so you can choose to open different applications by clicking top portion, or bottom. Now, the middle portion opens the settings. Enjoy.

What do you guys think? any comment would be helpful.
Thanks
it looks weird. i will download it and try it out...let you know how it goes. how do i scan that thing? barcode scanner?
ok so first of all the size of that thing is wrong, for my evo. just because it cant be centered which i know i could change, but im not going to do all that for a clock. The seconds are off when you unlock or slide between homepages. No big deal really, they are on point when the screen stays. I do like how it looks (like a baby bella cheese???? lol)....different. I like that. however I would not get rid of my sense clock to keep that on, but don't be discouraged bc I haven't seen a clock ever I like more than the sense. I even added it to my non sense phones. overall i give you an 8/10.
its gay....there are you happy?
lol nah i like it. posted a quick reply on accident and don't know if you see them or whats up because they aren't showing on the thread. idk.....just trying to post ten times to get a mod i need to flash to fix my browser slowness that for some reason you have to be a member with ten posts to dl..why? idk. can't find it anywhere else. but you got someone to get your widget! Are you behind all this?
The size i couldn't decide on ... as a 2x2 widget it feels too small ... but i agree with you that 3x3 seems odd ... I'll update the widget to a 2x2 widget when i get home ...
thanks for the comments though
I downloaded and installed it on my EVO and I can't even add to the desktop - it's FC's everytime I try to add it! Please send me a fix, also perhaps you'll come up with some cool designs where the second hand is exposed or seconds are displayed in some kind of digital themed clock.
Running the latest Burnt Droid, Firmware, etc., I even tried rebooting the EVO.
Please advise...
I've updated the app on the market to be a 2x2 widget ... you can still resize it if your launcher supports it

If you could provide me a logcat i could look into it ... i don't own a EVO and it works perfectly on all the emulators and my Magic and my Desire ... :S
ok, sorry, I don't use the feedback thingy to report the errors but I'll get it for you though. I downloaded the updated version and I'm still getting the FC's and can't even add it to the home screen.
JLG1985
ok I finally am able to add to my home screen and all is working well. Have you ever considered adding the date on/within the the silver bar area. Perhaps users could customize that themselves or maybe ask to have it added.
The color scheme is cool cuz it basically a similar color scheme for an EVO and an Incredible. I for one would pay to have the ability to add the date in the space. I'd like to customize it here and there, change colors or fonts once in a while to match whatever background I may at the time.
Thanks again, JLG1985

I'm actually working on another similar widget which will have the date portion on the bottom half of the widget. I'm leaving the middle space empty for location, if i ever get around to that ...
Now, could you please tell me how you got the widget to work on your phone ... Ive got a few bug reports from people who've downloaded the widget and all they're getting is nullpointerexceptions on lines where it shouldn't be any problem at all
Ridicool is COOL!
I uninstalled the initial release, looked for any remnants I could manually clean, used SystemPanel to close all open apps, cleared cache w/cachemate, rebooted, installed the updated version, rebooted, added it to my home screen, checked the settings and reverted back to my home screen. Whew!
After a few seconds the widget finally popped up and working.
So far so good, love it's functionality and everything about it. The date within the "bar" area could be a special request for me please. If you wouldn't mind - whenever you get to it. Perhaps a smaller, skinnier "bar" area to see other functions & the clock a bit better could be cool too.
Are you ultimately going to allow scheming with this app/widget? Plus i'd like to donate $$$ for your hard work and future successes please, can I have your private email to send some funds please.
Thanks again, JLG1985
P.S. - I'm serious about the funds
I don't have plans on doing any theming etc simply because i don't know how to ... I'm still learning etc ... Im planning on learning live wallpapers next and doing something similar with them ... I already have the graphics etc so I can churn out a live wallpaper pretty fast ...
And i will honestly, look into adding a date option like you suggested in this widget... Maybe as a setting you turn on or off ... I can't guarantee that yet but rest assured I will look into it in the coming weeks ... I have a full time job along with another hobby that takes up around three four hours of my day everyday ... And then it's ahdroid development ... So development is really a little slow

Just installed it. Like it. But would even like it more without the "belt" surrounding it, and the option to change colours of the dials. I don't like the change of size affecting just the lower part of the clock.
Cheers,

Just wanted to say a I'm lovin' this widget!

I can't remove the belt now, but why don't you like the belt ... i know it's a matter of personal preference but i find it rather cool
I could never figure out why only the top portion of the widget increases in size when you resize the widget to a rectangular shape, but then i stopped bothering as i realized that i only want to support square shaped widgets ... a rectangular widget makes no sense for this type of widget :s
The changing of dial colors is pretty much impossible, unless i store all different colored dials in the app itself and then show the ones which user chooses ... you have to realize that the dials are actually images :s
I've posted an update to the widget. You can now choose which application to run when pressing the top portion of the widget. Also, I went through some of the code and cleaned it up so some of the lower end phones might be able to run the widget now ...
I find it ridiculous that an app that works perfectly on 3 different emulators and two different phones still manages to produce NullPointerExceptions.
I've finished work on the full version of the widget, which includes a date section. There are also some more clickable sections of the widget, so you can choose to open different applications by clicking top portion, or bottom. Now, the middle portion opens the settings. Enjoy.
I've also edited the first post with the info and screenshots.
I've updated the dials to be a bit larger on both the lite and full version. There is also an added option to show today's day (eg Monday etc) as opposed to the year in the full version. Enjoy.

View attachment 327790Please note:
- This is NOT my idea. This has been mentioned before in other sections of these forums AND has been seen on other devices (the oPhone I believe?)
- This is NOT solely my code. Although most of the code for this app is my own, I used bits and pieces from a simple drag and drop demo. I DO NOT take credit for all of the (sloppy) code in this test app.
This is a proof of concept apk to show an idea I would eventually like to turn into an actual lock screen. For now this is an app that simply runs like any other app. It does not replace the android lock screen and does not attempt to be a lock screen in any way.
The concept is simple, and, to some, familiar. There is a floating ring. The user drags the floating ring to the designated area to unlock (in this case close the app).
Here are a few screen shots, although it doesn't look like much in a still image.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The apk file is attached. I encourage anyone interested to install the app and give feedback. If you are going to install the app please note that the code is not final.
The reason this was posted in the development section is because I want to turn this (or something like it) into an actual lock screen replacement. I'm new to coding android apps though so I'm looking for someone who can help me improve on the interface and/or point me in the right direction to making a lock screen. Devs if you believe this was posted in the wrong section please move.
All help and feedback is welcome and greatly appreciated.
Just tried this one. Really nice concept, but it's moving a bit to fast in my opinion
I also get often FC's
tried it!! looks cool, needs to float a little slower though, it wud look smoother, thats just my opinion! overall a really gud concept!

Yeah it seemed to be force closing every other time you open. Fixed now. Shouldn't be any FC's at all.

Thanks I'll go ahead and slow it down a little.
Customizable background would be sweet too
I admire your effort! I agree it has to be a little slower, and IMO it would be the hottest lockscreen ever if there was no background... just a completely transparent lockscreen with a ring floating over your home screen.
I hope to see your idea come into fruition
Sorry about the force closing I know it's annoying. I'm not really sure how to handle it or why it's happening yet. But I slowed the floating down a bit and I'm going to set the background as the system wallpaper soon. Thanks for the feedback
i really like this idea!
This is really neat. I liked Lockbot because of the slide to unlock, but it was just too sloppy and laggy. Better put, the Nexus lockscreen slide is AMAZING to me. I love it MUCH more than pressing Menu twice to unlock.
I hope this evolves. =]
nice idea, my suggestions:
1. make it when you flick the ring for no reason, it actually flies to the direction of the flick (kind of like those air hockey games)
2. when you successfully match the ring to the unlock "ring" make an animation where it glows or shrinks like the ring fell into something. at least SOME sort of animation
3. make the ring physics based, as well as letting the accelerometer effect it.
4.allow user to place the "Ghost" ring anywhere they choose on 1st launch.
5. backgrounds like they said/or transparency
6. have the ring glow/light up/enlarge or something as you grab it.
well these are all ideas to make this a beast of a lockscreen, you can choose what you want. but with all these added, there'll be no shortcommings. good luck with the lockscreen!
This is an amazing idea!!!

Thanks for all the ideas. Although I'm still getting familiar with the android apis, all of these should be fairly easy to implement.
That's the least of my concerns right now though... the tricky part is making this a lock screen. I don't want to make an app like Lock 2.0 for a lock screen. I want to edit the actual android like screen, similar to what stericson did. Right now it looks like I'm in over my head but I'm doing some research and trying to ask around a little. If anyone has any info that could help me out please share. I'm really setting my sights on getting this up and running.
any updates on this?

I agree with all of the above and def make the background so that we can choose if we want it set as a pic, wallpaper, or transperent
with these changes, this lock screen would def be amazing!!
with all this implemented, with would be even better then flashing a new Rom
I have no development/coding experience, so all I can do is give feedback on it. but good luck and let me know if you need me to do any testing
huh, i kind of surprised of the lack of activity here
I'm working on it... slowly but surely
maybe u should change the title of the thread to something more appealing, kind of like what you first had.
Do you know OMS OS?Do you know Ophone?
OMS is an android based OS made by China Mobile,and lock screen on OMS is just like yours.XD
First of all thanks to Fightspit from the Android section of the forums for the original icons and smaberg for the use of his % CAB.
This is the second revision of this CAB as I wanted to make the battery icons larger and remove grey segments. They're only slightly larger after all my retouching/cropping/resizing lol but I can live with them now .

}
Even though the icons have been retouched, on anything but a black taskbar, artifacts may be noticed. As the original icons had some sort of shadow effect, which I couldn't clean without having an adverse affect on the shape of the segments.
Install 'SdkCerts.CAB' first (if you don't already have it installed) and then soft reset.
Then install the '% Circular Battery Mod.CAB' to device memory and then soft reset. CAB is uninstallable.
The CAB works on ROM 1.66, I don't know if it'll work on anything else.
I've also uploaded the original icon set, so if anyone wants to mod further, feel free .
Update: added V2 CAB (grey segments not removed in this CAB)
Another Update: Thanks to TheLynxy for the super smooth icons. Due to the excellent design and clarity of this set, these icons will look good regardless of the colour of your taskbar (no artifacts). V3 CAB added.
My personal favorite is still the first set and they took the longest to do
Update: added V4 CAB - all original icons done by me , colour taskbar friendly (no artifacts).
Another Update : BT&Headset.zip uploaded. In my quest to improve the quality of the stock icons, I've uploaded some improved BT+Headset icons. Just extract then copy them into the Windows directory with Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
Yet another update. V5 uploaded, 6.5.X friendly. (thanks to MykeChester for the screen )
I would also like this. =)
I bet dinik could do it. Oh wait. Nevermind.
Just a little levity folks.

Update: I've found the icons I need (in fact I've found two styles), to be fair I still don't know who originally created them as everyone I messaged said they didn't make them .
It's just a long job of resizing them all and then hopefully someone will give me a hand (hint, hint ) putting the new files into something like Touch X's Battery % CAB.
Just give me the files and the size they need to be resized to and I can see what I can do. Maybe we split up so it´s going to be faster.

Thanks for the offer but I have completed the resizing and am a quarter of the way through putting them into the DLL file.
There is one last hurdle though, the DLL needs to be signed before I can put it back into the CAB. The last time I did such stupid things was when I had a Diamond and it wasn't problem resigning DLL files as the cert was in date.
I last tried to create my own battery icons around January for the HD2 and wasn't able to resolve the signing problem so abandoned it but I do believe a new signer/cert is available now but am unfamiliar with the new process. So a crash course in what's needed would be good. Failing that I'll just upload the modded DLL and/or the ICO's and see if anyone can complete the CAB.
Sorry can´t help with certifying the dll but I would love to have the png/ico files anyway! Is there a chance to send them to me? I would appreciate that.
And of course I´m waiting for the wonderful battery icon. The stock one is crap.
Count me in on that
I would also like this one.
Really looking forward. Hopefully someone could provide a cab asap.
SL bb
Just a quick update, finished it all including CAB . However I've done it wrong lol, the icons needed to be cropped first not just resized and the icons themselves don't look good as the greyed out segments can still clearly be seen (dam transparency filter!!!!).
I personally wanted just a black & white battery icons, so I have just finished retouching every single icon to clean them up. I will just need to now actually resize them (have typically found a much faster way of doing this now ) and then finally re-CAB them. Which I will do when I get some free time during the week.
Here's what the first attempt looked like: (you'll see the greyed out segments and that it looks too small and weird in my opinion LOL)
wow that looks awesome! I like that the greyed out segments are still visible! Don´t change that please. Or maybe you can provide 2 versions?
Maybe I can help. And is there a chance of making the circle a little bigger?
lookin' forward to
Hmmm, ya it does seem a little small. I do kinda the visible greyed out segments, but I think I'll wait and see how it looks without them.
EDIT: Hahaha horstborsch, one minute before me. Having two versions sounds like a good idea.
LOL, @horstborsch & @Bluey Thunder. The reason it looks small is because I messed it up by just resizing the original icons, these original icons didn't use the full area of the icon frame and hence once resized they got a little too small for my liking. I've addressed this by cropping the originals and then resizing to the required size, mental as it sounds it should produce a bigger icon .
Regarding doing a version with the grey segments included, that should be easy enough to do after I've completed the clean (bigger) ones I'm doing right now. Hopefully I'll be able to complete the clean version today after I've finished breakfast .
this will be a great battery indicator mod for stock icons... will keep an eye on this thread...
First post updated with CAB's and original icons.
Thanks man
love your work
[THUMBS UP]
Awesome work! Installed it and everything seems to be working perfectly. Much more informative than the old 5 (or so) bars.
Oh and thanks for also posting the original icons too, I'm sure someone will appreciate it.
I originally wrote Frame me for my Hero and released it under the Hero forums. Since it should work on any phone I though I would add a thread here as well. I only have my Hero to test with so if you have something other than a Hero I would love to hear your feedback.
In short, Frame me is a 1x1 widget of a photo that enlarges to full screen when clicked. Here are a few features:
Now working with the Atrix external SDCard
1x1, 1x2, 2x1, 2x2 Widgets
full screen image when clicked
multiple widgets supported
selectable picture frames
Crop image when selecting
Full widget preview on your background
Click on one widget - Fling to the others
Click on widget and fling through images in user selected directory
timed rotation of widget image in directory mode
Reconfigure existing widgets
Atrix external SDCard support
Frameless image
My Application website is at: http://deanstudios.net/dev/frameme
More details can be found at the site above or in the Hero App thread, HERE. FrameMe is available as a free download on the Hero thread. However, If you enjoy it and wish say thanks, it is also in the market for $0.99. Below are a few screenshots give you an idea. Click one of the links above to read the details or download. Thanks for taking a look!!

Oh, and I noticed you are experiencing a lag on the first launch, not a problem here!
Keep up the good work 41!
awesome! thanks dev, working grate on droid1 UD 8.0.0 so far.
Can I use the web picture instead of local on my sdcard? If not, I would really appreciate that!

Thanks combatdan! The lag, I am sure, is due to the processor in my Hero. It isn't horrible, just more than it was with a single image (or a single widget, I keep 4 up).

I hadn't actually thought of this. I will add it to the wish list. This is my first venture into android so it takes me a little bit of time to get my head around some of the APIs. I like the idea though.

I am currently in a foreign country in the middle of adopting our 4th child. I don't know that I can offer a timeline for much of anything. I have so other items to work on first but I will consider. It may also depend on how many others show interest in a web option.

Thanks orangekid. Pesky BBCode was in the wrong place. It is working now.
Just letting you know, version 1.1.2 has just been released. Includes a minor change to the directory option (thumbnails now show when clicked) and 7 new frames. More information through the links in the OP.
Okay everyone version 1.2.0 is out and ready to be enjoyed. There were significant layout and code changes to this one so if you find a bug PLEASE let me know. Especially you guys on hdpi devices. So, here is the short list of changes:
Full widget preview on your own background during the widget configuration
Simplified layout (easier for me to add frames)
Reconfigurable widgets, press menu while widget is full screen for widget settings.
Graphical frame selection – awwww pretty!
Bug fixes – pesky bugs
Code performance improvements
Enjoy! Links are updated on the original post.
The application works wonderfully but the 1x1 widget is almost impossible to see anything. Is there any chance in the future update of size 2x2.
Yes, a 2x2 is on my to-do list. I originally wrote this for my own use and the 1x1 is what I needed and couldn't find. I have had several requests for a 2x2 and am currently working on it.
Glad you like it!!
I love the APP!
Im not sure why but on my LG Ally the pictures dont sit inside the frame, they sit under and outside the frame a little to the bottom right corner.... like if you used a drop shadow in photoshop. not sure if that helps explain what I meen...

Hi Rookie4life, I know what you are talking about. That should have been solved in version 1.2.1. Actually, that was the reason I put out 1.2.1. What version do you have installed? Links in the Hero form (available in OP) should be updated for the latest version. If this is still happening with 1.2.1 then I will have to look into it some more.
ahhh... yes i have 1.2.0
i must have missed the link for 1.2.1
I will have to look again. thank you for you quick response
Perfectly simple app! I love it. Thank you for creating it! I'm going to go d/l the donate version now.

Great app! Thank you! Trying it out!
Using this on the EVO, when I click on the "Dir Enable" then save, when I click on the picture widget I get a force close.
great app i purchased...
Can you change the options besides 1x1? When i resize on the phhone they look pixilated (which is expected)

Hi Vegasden, do you click on the text "click here to set dir" and choose a directory or just press save after clicking the check box? Either way it shouldn't FC. I will look and see if I can determine where that happens. Let me know if you are also setting a directory path.
Yes, yet another calendar widget trying to take over one of your homescreens. This one might just be able to...
Hi guys,
This is a simple calendar widget, that strives to be clean, beautiful and useful.
Main features:
- 2 widgets: agenda and calendar
- Agenda shows weather information
- Several configuration options: widget looks, fonts, colors
Some of the configuration options are locked and only available on the premium version (upgradable in the app). Anyway, i believe that the unlocked options are enough to make it useful. If you don't agree, leave some feedback please.
Get it on Google Play or here.
Some screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hope you like it and would love to hear some feedback.
Love it, but I would like to see some options, for example hide "no events" select how many days to get weather for, hide icons, a completely transparent theme and possibility to buy it in play store.

Really nice UI :good:
installed it and indeed a good app
great job, OP!
loving it and currently using the calendar widget on my main homescreen!
set it to white background.
however, there are certain issues when its being resized too small..
the dates scaled but it cuts off half, showing only 1-14 instead of 1-30/31.
It looks really nice.
Would be even nicer if the font size (or the whole widget) was adjustable to something smaller
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'll try to answer some of the questions.

Your points are fair. I've tried to strike a balance between too much and too few options, but maybe i haven't found it yet.
Anyway, here are some explanations:
- The "no events" label only appear if you select "show weather" and there's weather information for that day, but no events. To show the weather information i had to show something on the description, hence the "no events" label (it doesn't appear if you choose not to show the weather). But an option to control it is something i will consider.
- I'm thinking on the hide icons option (it obviosly isn't difficult to implement, but like i said, i'm trying to keep the settings screen relatively approachable, so i must think on how to incorporate it). Right now you can hide the settings button, but that may not be enough.
- There's no predefined completly transparent theme, but you can make one by changing the day and header background to transparent (just slide the opacity bar all the way to the left). In the agenda view those settings are locked, but you can see how they work in calendar view. Now, i understand that it might be "harsh" requiring people to buy the premium version to have full transparency, but i had to lock some options...
- Regarding the possibility of buying it in the Play Store, i just thought that the In App billing process was "cleaner" and more straightforward for people who wanted to upgrade. I really couldn't think of any advantage of having a separate "key" app in the Play Store vs the In App billing, but maybe i'm missing something.

Yeah, that's by design, and it probably works well for some people, and doesn't work for other people. If the widget is resized to less than 2 rows it shows only 2 weeks. Initially i didn't have that way, it showed all the weeks regardless of the widget size and it was scrollable, but i was having some trouble making it look "right" so i choose this route. I might revisit this though.
By the way, i should add a disclaimer here: the calendar view is heavily inspired by a "prototype" that Roman Nurik (from Google and dashclock fame) made. I didn't just copy it, as it has added functionality, but i was heavily inspired by it (and that's why the calendar view is completly free)

Adjustable font sizes, or at least a selection of 2 different font sizes are something i plan to explore. Can't promise it will be released as it must look "right", but i'll look into it.
Once again, thank you very much for the feedback.

Thanks again for taking time to read our feedback. I don't think you need to go deep in term of font/margin size options but something like Gmail "Comfortable / Cozy / Compact" would rock!
Bought it... Great looking App at a fair price... Replaced all my previous calendar Widgets apps...
Congrats!

Yeah, i was thinking of doing something like that. I was considering only 2 options, but including 3 named like GMail makes more sense indeed. I'll test it ti make sure it looks good (the width of the left sidebar can be tricky, in fact, it might have to stay the same, but it might not matter).

Obrigado. Glad you like it.
A new version (v1.2.9) was published today, with some common requested features:
- Change text size options
- Theme selection dialog with preview
- Widget header configuration options
- UI Tweaks (better touch feedback, changed separator between days)
It should be available soon.
Hope you like it.
I can't see a full month on the homescreen. I only see 1 week. Even when I use 4x4.
How can I solve this?

You're talking about the month widget right?
It should only show 1 week when it is resized to 1 row...
Could you please tell me what version of android, device and launcher you have.
Thanks

I have Android 4.1.1
It is a stock HTC Desire X
tihs looks amazing, will def give it a go. any chance you can add to do list app support like pure calendar widget? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.pure_calendar - if i can see Any.DO and Calendar in your widget i'd uninstall pure calendar widget right now.

Hi, tasks integration is something we'll look into, but can't promise to implement. Even if we implement it, the first target will be Google tasks, and then maybe other task management solutions (like Any.DO). You see, for tasks there aren't one or two general accepted apps, and we don't have the man power to integrate with them all...

Totally understood, thanks for the quick reply.
Very nice, took only 5 minutes for me to buy the full version.
agenda view which is my favourite one looks really amazing. consider adding Google tasks support and I can tell you I would switch to this app (Google calendar and Gogle tasks support in one app is my top priority). good work, looking forward to future updates!

Also thoughts about something like this for displaying time rather than traditional numbers?

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
Would anyone using the app find any of the tools on this page useful?
