[APP] [QUESTION] Issue with CM7 and Beautiful/Fancy Widgets

So, I'm a big fan of the apps Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets...but the silly things will not work with CM7. Is there a setting that I'm missing, or something I'm not doing right?
If these just will not work at all, are there any valid replacements? I search and search on the forums, but I can't seem to find a solution. Any help on the matter is appreciated. Thanks guys.

Im using the MIUI themed Fancy Widget on CM7 just fine.. I'll download and try beautiful widgets as well just to check. Have you went to settings->applications->the app name->clear data?

No problems here use be on my home screen daily

Try un installing/ re installing? I run BW every day on CM7 no issues... also try clockworkmod and fix permissions... that mostly makes all crazy stuff better

Ok, so I've gotten the clock part working... had to fix permissions in Clockwork (thank you ibcenu), but now it's not displaying the weather portion. It tells me I'm in an unknown location - maybe it's because of a gps issue, I'm just not sure... I can use the new Superclock and display my battery, but I'd rather see what the weather's doing instead.

Yeah just go to configure the beautiful widget and set location it should work fine

and make sure it is NOT on your SD card..it has to be on the phone to work right...

this is the reason i dont use clockwork or rom manager !!!

My weather wont display when I choose Google as my provider (Fancy Widget Pro). I have to select Weather.com, or whatever it is.

[Q] Why won't certain widgets appear on the list of widgets?

I've noticed this problem since I bought my Sensation. I immediately started transferring over apps from my G2 and Xoom (the ones I planned on using on my Sensation, at least). I know which apps have a widget and which don't. When I long-press on my screen and choose widgets, I see most of the widgets of apps I just installed but not all of them.
There are times when I flashed custom roms to try them out and then go back to my nand (clean stock backup) and the same widgets that didn't show up before would now appear on the list.
Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know why this is happening?

Only thing I can think of is that maybe the parent program for the widget got moved to the sdcard. I know widgets have to be in,main,memory to work.
Forgive me if this is an infantile response, I am still fairly new to android, but eager to help if I can.

Hmmm... Interesting, if you're right. In my previous Android phones and on my Xoom, I move all the apps that I can to SD every time and never had this problem. But I will give this a try. I'll report back if this is the case with Sensation on stock Sense UI.

I just restored from a previous nand (good thing I happened to backup for no apparent reason just this morning) and it looks like the widget is there. I checked where the app was and it is in fact on my SD card. So there goes that theory. Hehe.
I wonder if others have the same issue and if they found out the culprit. Thanks anyway, Ivanstein.

One thing I've noticed that with no matter what sensation rom I flash first time i download an app the widgets don't show in the widgets menu until i reboot.

Add Music and FM Radio icon back to all apps

I'm rooted with undead's ROM, modaco's 4.0.0.9, and I've deleted the media room app which is the only way to get into music and fm radio outside of a widget or home screen shortcut. If I delete the htcsetup apk file and do a factory reset so-to-speak I get the music and fm radio shortcuts back in my app drawer but the weather app will NEVER show my location, other apps do though, but I don't want to keep it like this since I would imagine other built in things probably aren't working from not going through the initial htcsetup after a factory reset.
With all that being said, how do I simply get the music and fm radio icons to show up in my app drawer? I've gone through the htcsetup wizard as im supposed to which ends up removing or calling something to remove these 2 apps.

For some reason the icons don't show up in the app drawer when you use the stock launcher.
I use GO launcher EX, the MT4GS has enough power to really get some use out of it and turn on all the fun animations and such.
As soon as I switch launchers, the icons are in my drawer.
I think, if I remember right, that other launchers show the icons too, like ADW and such, but the only one I use anymore is GO so I am not sure.
This was something that aggravated me, I don't like or use widgets and media room was gone from my phone a long, long time ago.
I like the HTC stock music app, I think it's really well done.
Not exactly all the info you were looking for, but it's a step on the path.

I haven't really got a handle on the sense skin yet. So i can't answer that. I'm still learning.

Xshortcuts to create any icon(even hidden apps) on the desk. You can uninstall media room and access music with this free app fyi.

Well any app can be made a shortcut on the homescreen/desktop.
What I noticed though which is quite interesting is that if you delete the htcsetup.apk or something like that from the system/app folder and then format data and cache, which is essentially a factory reset, the fm radio and music shortcuts show back up in the drawer. Probably what's happening is that this initial setup wizard hides these 2 apps to encourage the use of the media room app. My only concern is how would I make sure things such as weather will work if I don't go through the initial setup wizard?

[Q] "There are no calendars selected!"

Hello everyone, the HTC Sensation is my first smartphone and I've had it for about two happy months. However, just today, it flashes the message "There are no calendars selected" on the bottom of my screen. I then go to check my agenda, and it doesn't show. Also, when I try to edit a task using the HTC calendar app, it FC's. I did not do anything to immediately cause the issue. (As if I were to delete a file, I would experience the repercussions right away. Not the case here)
All of my events are still visible through the "Pure Grid Calendar" widget, but not through the "Business Calendar" agenda widget.
If the fix were to require a phone-wipe, is there any way I can save everything so that my phone shall be exactly like it is at the moment, aside from the issue? (Progress in games, song ratings, etc)
Thank you for your help.

you can use an app called titanium backup to help you save your applications. you wont be able to do a backup of your current state without the issue because you dont now what the issue is. Titanium backup is going to be the best best for you so you can re-install your apps one by one to narrow down your problem apps. I personally think its Go Launcher. i hate secondary launchers lol, after wiping i would install app quarantine from the market and use that to "quarantine" apps such as stock browser, set up wizard, just apps you dont use so they dont take up ram or become active in the background. just something to think about. let me know if this helped

Yes, that will help me out when I need to do a wipe. However, I just can't reason why the launcher could cause the issue. It started without any recent change to it.
I did recently add the Pure Grid widget, but that was two days ago. Could be related.

I think the launcher trying to use its own built in apps could conflic with stock apps. Idk just my beliefs lol. I've never had a successful secondary launcher. Something like that always goes wrong. But to each his own. Just try delete a few apps that you have suspect. Reboot after each one and see if that makes a difference before you take super wipeing measures. You never know it could be something simple

The issue becomes more interesting still.
I went back to HTC Sense and the Pure Grid Calendar widget continues to work while the Business Calendar widget states that no calendars are selected. However, the HTC agenda widget shows all the tasks, while the HTC calendar widget does not!
The one thing I did like about sense was the smoothness and finished feel. But I need the customization of something like Go Launcher. If I can solve this issue, I may go for a new ROM that can do that: Go Launcher customization and themes with Sense smoothness.
Thank you.

SENSE 3.5 allows you to customize the widgets and has a nice feel. Most users stick with it because of the flexibility that your thinking. Maybe think about trying arhd 4.1.6

I have the same problem. The difference is that I know it isn't the luncher. I deleted on purpose my calendar app, but i also deleted the calendar sync app and now I can't use any calendars. Anyone know where I can download the original calendar app and calendar sync app?

The same problem just popped up on my phone. I have not added any launchers... I do use the business calendar app, has anyone found a solution?

[Q] Weird widget behavior (GB/Valhalla Black)

Hey guys, this just started happening in the last few days and it's driving me batty...
I have widgets that will randomly disappear... or appear in the wrong place...
For example, sometimes on rebooting, Fancy Widgets will not load... or two will load on top of each other...
For another example, my music player widget (4x2) will appear all scrunched into a 2x1 spot where my bluetooth widget is supposed to be.
Or... no widgets will load at all... and I'll have to re-add them to the desktop.
It's all very strange and annoying.
Anyone have an idea of what's going on here? I didn't even know how to search for this...

I've just had it happen to a few widgets in the last few days on my Nova Launcher on SlimBean v4. After removing the problematic widgets and putting them back, all was well again...

Whenever things get wacky the first thing to do is reboot recovery and fix perms. Then wipe cache/dalvik and reboot. Let the phone sit for a bit to rebuild davlik. Then use your phone.

By any chance are you using link2sd? Or putting the widgets on your sdcard? That causes issues as well

When I had it happen, it just decided that the Google Music widget was on page 4 instead of page 1, even though it still visually displayed on page 1. I couldn't click on any of the items in the bottom row of page 4... so I long-held on the bottom of page 4, removed the invisible widget, and replaced it on page 1 from where it had disappeared.
I expect that to be a Nova Launcher glitch not a JB or ICS issue though.

Don't know what link2sd is. The Widgets are wherever the phone saved them when I DLed them.

I've had that happen as well and concluded it is a launcher issue. Happened frequently on Go Launcher. Has not happened at all on Apex.

Interesting. I'm running ADW EX. Been fine for a dang year... just started doing this and I don't think it's updated recently...
Also - no joy on the davlik wipe / fix permissions. I still have a scrunched MIUI music widget where my bluetooth widget should be.
