Version 3.0 has been released! It includes a smaller widget (1×1) that was requested by users as well as the ability to restore the status bar when the screen turns off. The latter feature allows the widget to be used by more devices that do not have hardware keys.
Along with version 3.0 I have also released a donate version. This version is exactly the same as the free version but costs one dollar for those who feel generous!
You can download it on the android market place by clicking Here for free and Here for donate
Leave any feedback you have and ill try to address your problems/suggestions!

Any chance for a 1x1 button? My homescreen real estate comes at a premium.
Any chance on a way to bring the bar back through hard buttons? I got stuck in netflix and was unable to get out of the app until I restarted the device. Perhaps 1.pressing up/down volume at the same time 2.have it automatically come back after coming out of standby 3. come back with a push of the center button...

Hey guys I have just released V2.0 of Honey Hide Widget. Thought I would post it here considering the Thinkpad has hardware buttons.
Description:
Honey Hide Widget is a simplistic widget that allows you to hide the system bar so you can gain that extra screen real estate. It is intended to be used on a device with hardware keys enabled. Requires Honey Comb and Root Access!
Leave any feedback you have and ill try to address your problems/suggestions!

Ill look into it thanks for the recommendations!
There is also a border that auto colors itself. It would be great if it was the same color as the widget, or had no border at all. Thanks. Great widget!
Thank you for this litte widget! Works perfectly on my TPT and I'm no longer pressing any status bar buttons when writing in Quill or Notes Mobile.
The Widget has been updated to V3.0 hope you guys like it! The OP has been updated

I like the concept. I like that you are able to quickly get an overview of messages, calendar, calls and you can adjust was you like it. It would be better if it had facebook, twitter intergration as part of all the other info panels also.
The only issue here I see is that the whole notion of android is the widgets...which I like. I'll keep it on for awhile to test it out. Maybe it will grow on me.
It's basically windows mobile homescreen.
I agree with archboy, great concept, but still missing some customization features. The ability to move an item from the top half to the bottom half is needed. This would be great if it could also be used as a fullscreen widget, so that I could still use the rest of my screens.
I wish this was a lock screen.
IMO, this information oriented approach instead of the action/application oriented approach is much better in terms of productivity.
The only drawback of this application? I cannot access to some widgets/actions and I do really want to be able to do things like enable wireless, 3g, change brightness... without the pain of going through the setup menus.
A good solution to this problem would be a light weight home screen app which could be launched from slide screen and load the the 4 or 5 widgets I need. I've tried aHomeMini but it forcecloses, any suggestions?
@iVisionX01: yeah, having it as a lock screen is also great but, again, I won't need the full featured home app.

2nd that
Tried it for a couple of hours, but missing customizability and getting settings too far out of reach made me uninstall quickly.
I wish it was a widget!
Try QuickDesk or PowerStrip with this, working great for me, very pleasing to the eye..
wow i cant believe i missed this home screen
should be perfect with QuickDesk and PowerStrip
i dont get it??? Whats it suppose to do??
It's a shame FroYo won't let you change default launcher programatically any more (you have to do it through the settings). I would love to have had Tasker set this is default when I was at work, then LauncherPro the rest of the time
Hi there, this is my first app/widget. Basically a simple battery widget for the android home screen which displays your phones battery life inside the green android logo. It would be great to here your thoughts on it Thanks for reading!

Nice widget.
Somehow the market download takes forever (slow cloud perhaps)
One suggestion: A different charging icon for fast(AC)/slow(USB) charging.
Its hard to find this on the market unless you add a few words from "west coast labs" to the search.
i don't see the wiget after installing your app?
Thanks for your replys guys!
britoso: Yes i agree with the different symbols for charging types. The download speed im unsure about, Its only 129Kb.
ts3li0t: Yeah i noticed this was a problem with some devices. A restart of the device has fixed it for the two cases i have seen with friends devices. Hopefully that will work for you. (It doesn't have an app launcher so its only in the list of widgets if thats why you cant see it). I have also seen it with other developers widgets too.. odd
Thanks for taking the time guys, really appreciate it!
The battery percentage text gets half cut off when my tablet (touchpad, cm9) is in landscape mode. Maybe the widget should be a few pixels taller.
1.0.1
Small Update: Level now drops when it's less than 11% and again at less than 6%, with crossed eyes! Orange level at less than 31%.
And thanks for pointing that out britoso. I have only just seen your comment, but will fix it for the next update. What launcher are you using if I may ask so that i could test it out to make sure its running well? Thanks!
late post sry, it must have been a problem with the launcher (nova/tribuchet), now that widgets can be re-sized its a non-issue.
1.0.2
Another small update (Not worthy of a new thread)
v1.0.2, Lightning bolt appears when plugged into DC, still a USB symbol when connected to a computer or tablet USB port. (Tiny extra; Green background when adding widget to home screen.)
Cheers!
Version 2.0
Android Battery Widget 2.0 is now available. It's had a complete redesign, hope you like it!

I've created a simple flashlight app, it's small (1.1 MB) and (for now) it only has one button (ON/OFF). It works with devices with no led (lights with the screen) and it has simple layout - button with transculent background, you can minimize the app by touching the background. I've noticed that most of the flashlight apps have fullscreen activities with many buttons, functions and animations. All I want for app like this is one, simple ON/OFF button so I made my own. I added the doge theme, because it's fun and popular, I don't want a boring flashlight, like the most on the market
I made this app mainly as a joke, I don't think I plan to make money out of it, it's also my first app in the market (not to count the ones I made in my work). I'm planning to do some update after my christmas break - widget, better looking button, maybe notification bar button, but in the end I want this app to stay simple. So I wanted to share it with XDA - what do you think, is there a need for ANOTHER FLASHLIGHT?

Guys, at least tell me is it working on your devices and/or should I change/add something (but remember I want it to remain small and simple)

Yup, I was planning to add ON/OFF button to lock screen, I never saw that in other flashlights I had, and I think it's pretty obvious idea to have one. And of course widget is coming.
Hi folks,
I'm looking for an app where if I press a shortcut (from Pie specifically), it will bring up a bunch of pre-defined app shortcuts.
Simi folder works well, but the problem for me is that it positions itself oddly. Its fine if I launch it from the dock row of icons (which I actually want to replace) but because Pie is built into systemUI, it positions itself near the status bar.
I dont want something that swipes from the side of the screen or similar. I just want to press a button and have the icons pop up, preferably in a predefined location, but at least not at the top of the screen
This is what simifolder looks like (as launched from home screen)

}
which would be perfect, except the problem is if launched from Pie, its at the top of the screen, which is annoying.
Does anyone know of similar apps that would do this, launchable from a custom shortcut?
Did you already try out PopUp Widget?

Quite nice, maybe for you...

No but it does look good... I could make a nice UCCW widget for the apps I want to launch.
Open to other ideas too.

I prefer Zooper, but I am just in the first steps with popup widget. UCCW should work, too.

Hey Guys,
actual i have a Widget on my Homescreen to Lock my Device:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here is my Question now.
Is it Possible to Lock the Screen with an App from the Homebutton (Longpress), where you can get to Google Now?
Maybe just replace the Google Now Link there. (All on a rooted Orig Firmware w/ locked BL.)
It would be quicker to just replace one of the 4 links at the bottom of the home screen with a shortcut to that app) that's what I have

I did this too, but it feelt kinda awkward for me.
This space is used as i like it the most (Screenshot).
The quick way is not the best for everyone, so i hope to get any help/answer how to do that.
But Thanks for your help and sorry for my broken english
Edit:
I found a Solution, Root is not required, so everyone can do this..
Home Button Launcher is the launcher for swiping up from the home button.
Soft Lock Screen is the App to lock your screen. (The one i used before didnt worked well, because i need a App for the launcher and not a Widget). Dont forget to Check "Auto Start Mode" if you only use one App in the Launcher
You dont have to wait till the Icon appears, what i tought first... just swipe up from your homebutton.
You can use DTSO from play store and you have a transparent widget in the Widgets section on your phone. Put the widget on the screen and...THAT'S IT!
