Quick question... could you pull and post the apk for this? I just got my Galaxy Tab set up with Honeycomb, courtesy of Spacemoose1, and I'd really love to try this out (even if it is just a trial version). I'd really appreciate it, and thank you in advance.
*Edit: Of course, if you're planning on releasing this as a paid app, then please disregard my request. I've really enjoyed your work with Colorize Widget, and I wanted to give this a go, as a tablet-optimized app. Thanks again.
Thank you very much!! Downloading now!

awesome widgets. please make a widget for gmail. thanks!
I doubt a gmail widget will work now. After the gmail API change, all gmail-related counters and widgets are non-functional... :-(

Maybe I'm missing something but where do I go to add the widget to a screen? It doesn't appear where the otehr widgets are
You need Honeycomb in order to use Wizz. If you do have it, just long press the screen, and scroll over to the right, until you see the group of Wizz widgets.

A Gmail widget would be really cool
A weather widget would also be cool
Thanks for your hard work

Gmail would be nice, but it won't work. With the recent API change in gmail, it's rendered all related widgets and unread count features completely useless. Google kinda blindsided devs with this, and there's not much any of them can do at the moment, besides hope that Google rolls out a more developer friendly API... :\

I actually paid for the full version, and LOVE it. Awesome work, just what my Xoom needed and deserved.
I can't install a market, I simply get an install error, if I use the .apk from the first post I get a force close when I click theme settings. Any help?
EDIT: Using a Toshiba Tab AT100, Android 3.0.1
This is a great app/widget set. I agree that gmail would be an awesome addition.
I did notice on my DS7 (running Honeystreak) that if I add the reader widget I get sent into a FC loop.
Additionally, as philseven stated above, some of the stack widgets are not visually appearing on the screen. I can grab and remove them, but I'm only guessing at their location.
Great widget, love it!

Try to add normal facebook & twitter widget
then login > refresh
before add stack widget
Nice
This is an awesome widget set but I don't understand why you can't scroll or even access the next month in the calendar / agenda.
OK I installed from the attached .apk file on my Asus Transformer. I then went to try and add the widget I tapped widgets and scrolled through entire list and no Wizz Widgets are listed do I need to do something else to get it working? Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Belay this message I shutdown my Transformer and restarted it and they showed up. I love the calendar widget.

Looking for a contacts widget similar to People in Sense UI. Of course, understand we won't get scrollable widget due to lack of Rosie, but just a static 3x3 or greater widget would be awesome.
Found "Artis Contacts Widget" in the market which looks to be a good start but it's not customizable, doesn't support Facebook contact pics and seems to be low res.
Any thoughts, or devs up to the challenge?

I've been using Touiteur recently for its beautiful UI. What is everyone else using? I only ask because I noticed Chad Ochocinco used Twidroid, so I wanted to hear some other opinions.

Touiteur is my choice just for Twitter.. I have been messing around with TweetDeck. TweetDeck is still pretty rough and and need some more features, but it is great to use to post to multiple social networking sites.
Twicca is the best, it's fast & most twitter features.
Twicca. 10 char.
What twitter client do I use?
NONE
... sorry guys. I'm bored :-\
I use touiteur as my twitter app and have twicca installed for image previews
I use Twidroyd its pretty awesome and you can set it to what ever color you like and view followers requests
Sent from my Evo 4G using a shoe string
I'm using twicca. It's great, the only thing it lacks is multiple accounts and to RT protected followers tweets. I'm also testing out the tweetdeck beta.
I use Touiteur and it is by far the best I have used on Android. Ubertwitte for BlackBerry is the bestbtwitter app out there, but Touiteur is very close. I tried out every Twitter app for 3 days before deciding and Touiteur is just phenomenal!!!
Lately, TweetDeck. Yea it lacks some features but it's still pretty smooth for a beta and they're updating it frequently. Other than that, Twitter for Android has been my main Twitter app.
touiteur <3
Touiteur is the best, IMO. Got some friends to switch from the default HTC or motoblur app.

I really liked peep for the full page widget. Since using launcher pro, I've not found any twitter app with a 4x4 full page widget. Any suggestions.
Btw...i am using pure messenger widget. Its ok, just doesn't look very nice and it doesn't sync consistently like you set it to do.

With LauncherPro Plus you can resize widgets. Try stretching one out and see how it looks.
Touiteur. By far my fave.
touiteur at first and probably going back
tweetcaster the last few weeks
I love TweetCaster, though to be honest - I haven't tried too many other Twitter apps than Peep and TweetDeck.
I still haven't found a way to make any of the twitter apps (besides Peep in Sense) full page 4X4 widget size. I wish that the dev of Launcher Pro would create one for Launcher Pro Plus widgets.
i second tweetcaster, I have used a few and have found it to be my fav
I was wondering if any of the apps listed give a dropdown or some type of listing to easily add screen names after you put "@"?
I am looking for a full screen news/rss widget. I have searched google and xda and nothing.
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Edit: Please move to General Aria discussion.
you can try Instant news for google. i havnt tried it myself, but it seems to have what youre looking for. or you can search the Market or Androlib.com for whatever you want
Just either use the default news widget if your using sense. You can add custom rss feeds etc and its full screen

The new ICS update lacks the buddy widget, and the new way to put android contacts in the home screen really sucks, can someone please give me the Buddy widget apk please.
Sorry to say but installing the 'old' 2.3.6. buddy widget doesn't work in ICS, it's not compatible.
I've been struggling with the same (yes...the new widget sure is UGLY...lol) and have tried alot of buddy widgets (even the one from SGS2)...but to no avail.
Just try mecontact from the market. You will never look for something else

HaloShortcuts
Coincidently, there's another HaloShortcuts by @MainstreamStereotype that is similar to this one. :silly:
His has an additional feature and that is the ability to choose Activities within an App.
Please check his out also :good:
What?
A shortcut selector to add a shortcut in floating mode on homescreen or for apps that uses shortcut selector.
It adds a shortcut with the intent flag 0x00002000.
For?
For ROMs that make use of the intent flag 0x00002000.
Examples include Paranoid Android ROMs with Halo.
(This might work with OmniROM's MultiWindow but I need someone to confirm before I write it down. )
Downloads?
In Attachments. (Dates are in DDMMYY)
Backup Downloads from Google Drive
Open-source!
This module is open-source! Sources are found on my GitHub.
If you would like to help in the development, you may leave bug reports and development tips in this thread or (better still) fork and send pull requests
Screenshots?
works perfectly on my Galaxy S4-I9505, thanks
Works great on s2 with kitkat rom pound....

This app only makes shortcuts with the halo flag. It doesn't affect the launcher. It has probably been redrawing ALL the time but you only notice it now since it is floating and not fullscreen.
I never get redraws this app actually crashes my launcher so it has to restart and I only get this issue with this app

Is it the actual running of the app itself, or the launch of a halo shortcut created by this app... that is causing the redraw? What Launcher do you have and rom?
It happens when I launch an app from the shortcut I create with this app I use the sense 5 launcher on a HTC one x thanks for replying it's viper x Rom 4.0.6

First thing I would try is downloading an alternative free launcher eg Go Launcher. Install, and do a quick test to see if a new Halo shortcut causes the same issue. Should take 5 minutes. Then if you still have the issue, then it's probably rom related. BTW, do you have any other rom features enabled that might be interfering? (eg Multi Window or something like that)
No nothing that would interfere although the room is heavily modded but floatifications works fine and open halo from notification also works I do get an occasional fc though had that problem since version 2.0 of xhalo appsi also works ok I don't really want a different launcher because of BlinkFeed but for trying purposes Ill try thanks for replying

Is it possible to update this app to create shortcuts that point to "Shortcuts" in Android as well instead of just app shortcuts?
You know, the screen when u long press on the launcher and you get this page to create direct shortcuts to contacts, bookmarks, gmail labels etc.
Because it would be handy to create shortcuts that link to specific functions inside apps instead of having to launch the apps in windows mode and then navigating to the required functions i.e. shortcut to a specific whatsapp contact, specific settings screen.
Do consider it, or if anyone has a solution do let me know, thanks!
I hope the thanks received from zst123 means this request has been added to some to do list out there?
edit : oh man, another thanks. Don't tease me...SAY SOMETHING! Or should I keep posting to accumulate thanks?
how to check intent flag?
works great in s3 omega rom when using it as a launcher icon, or through glovebox.. BUT if you want to use LMT launcher that doesnt support system shortcuts but support tasker... launching tasker task--> autoshortcut plugin --> haloshortcut... doesnt work.. the app opens in fullscreen
Hey guys,
I posted this twice on Disqus on the XDA News Commenting but somehow it didn't show (internet failure?) and I'm typing this again.
I'm really lazy to retype, so in short, I created this in Sept in my XHFW thread in this post's attachments
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45669212&postcount=476
A few weeks ago, I improved it and posted it in this thread. However, a recently I saw this post on Google+
https://plus.google.com/117734680838440546478/posts/cbXCgnjTAwj
where Matthias Bidlingmeyer had created a similar app with similar name. That is is better than mine in the sense that it has the ability to choose individual activity for the chosen app. It coincidently was posted a few days before my thread was opened. I didnt't know it existed and of course didn't copy it. I hope this would clear things up before the "you copied me" fight starts. If I had known it existed, wouldn't you think I would also implement individual activity support? The other dev does deserve credit. This is purely just a coincidence (sadly)...
Great app

Works great on omnirom 4.4.2 for Nexus 10 (Tempest ROM omni-4.4-20131218-manta-TEMPEST )
It's not better if it doesn't do shortcuts. Seriously, how many here understand what each activity in each app does?

It has to do with the way the plugin handles the created shortcut. So I can't really help you in this

There is only one flag that is added and that is the halo flag. What flag are you trying to check?

See the attachments for a screenshot of his app. For example you could create a shortcut to go directly to the WifiSettings instead of the main Settings page when you have to do one extra step. An Activity is the proper Android term for a "page" (not really a page but I can't think of a better word)
