how did you decrypt the apk? Did you get it back to source or just rename the apk to a zip?

Not so easy.
If you rename the apk to zip, you can find the XML files but those are crypted. so you can not edit them.
I made some translation, so i next need to rebuild it to apk, then test it.
BR.

Look up an app called Fancy Widget it has the look and feel of the HTC Widget.

That looks like the beautifulwidgets app. Beautiful Widgets app is basically the same thing with a 3 day forecast, animated screen, and multiple themes you can download.

rebuild to apk and resign and install is ok now
I just made something wrong with the translation because the app crashes
When i decompile the original and recompile again to apk and resign, -- it works well, so i made some mistakes. But it was a really fast translation.
Now back to the original and translating it carefully and with short strings.
BTW
@blaboy51
I have used apktool to decompile the apk.
BR, Norberto

thats wuts upp...shared the apk when your done and thanks for your time.

Now translated, but there are still some chinese strings what i cannot find.
And the app (the original too) crashes in the android emulator
testing on the phone is littlebit slower
But working on it...
Edit: my translated app crashes on the phone when i try to launch the main app.

Look at the description.

IT SUPPORTS ONLY CHINA.
So translation ended.
If it will support all the world than i will work on it.
Damn it is a really nice looking weather app.

Not the english, or the translation is the problem!!
This app can show you only the Chinese weather. That is the problem!!!
So the english version of this app is useless too if you are not in china.

Fancy Widgets is nice, but it looks like the dev has gotten in trouble with HTC. The latest update is going to be the last for this look, but they are going to come back with their own new look.

i just post question in the forum, asking if they are going to come out with an English version... lets see how it goes.

[APP] Minimalistic Text

So here it goes. My first Android app.
I would like to peresent a first Beta release of Minimalistic Text.
This app is heavily inspired by Clockr and BattStatt but adds some additional benefits.
Why?
While searching for a reason to dig into Android app development I came across Clockr and BattStatt. So I decided to rebuild them.
As the first version of a text-clock was ready, I wanted to push this widget one abstraction layer up to some kind of meta-widget that brings the different approaches of displaying information in a textual, minimalistic way in one line so that it gets possible to make all this text widgets look the same way.
But the main driver for me to spend evenings at my PC developing this app has been just the fun of it

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What is Minimalistic Text for?
In the first case Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way.
„Yet another Text Clock?“ one may ask.
The answer is „Yes“, but more than that.
Flexibility
Minimalistic Text tries to give you much more control about what information to show and how this information should be presented. The architecture of the widget allows (the developer) to add easily new sources of information and let the user integrate them in a widget.
Today Minmalistic Text knows 4 sources of information:
Time
Date
Battery
Weather
These information sources provide a set of variables that can be used in the widget configuration to build up your very own widget.
Resource Management
Minimalistic Text tries to update the widgets only when necessary. Each widget analyzes the information (variables) it uses and knows when it has to be updated. So the update service updates only the widgets that have to be updated.
When the screen of the device goes off, Minimalistic Text stops updating any widgets immediately and restarts the update process when the screen goes on again.
For example: If a widget only has time variables and the voltage of the battery changes, the time widgets doesn't get updated. Sounds naturally? I don't want to know how many widgets out there don't take care about their update frequency .
Still under development
Minimalistic Text is still under heavy development. So many ideas are on my todo-list that haven't been implemented yet.
This can lead to breaking changes (that would force you to re-add your widgets to the home screen). Of course I will take care to avoid this, but it could happen.
How you can help
I am open to criticism and suggestions. One reason for throwing the app in the public at this stage of development is to get early feedback in order to direct the development in the right direction.
Please tell me if an error occurs. Either here in this thread, via PM or e-mail.
For a little guide see this link.
Download
Minimalistic Text supports devices running Android 1.6 and up.
To download Minimalistic Text you can scan the barcode, tap the barcode or the Market link from your android phone or type "de.devmil.minimaltext" into your market search.

Do you mean a Text like "|" to separate the text blocks?
What month variable are you using? Or are you using a predefined layout?
You can define the case of the text in the preferences already.

Fix for the month-bug is published.
On my todo-list is the following idea: The ability to place a text-variable anywhere you want and set the text it should display. This would solve your problem partially (text only).
Thank you for the input.

thanks for update, working well, waiting for separators
Is there a way to re-add the widgets you made already, say for a different launcher etc?

It´s a pity, under MIUI-ROM 0.11.26 the settings screen is grey all over. Just the preview bar at the bottom is visible and works.

Is there an option to use septate apps if I click either the minutes or hours on the widget? Just curious, because I would love to be able to launch both my clinch app and my calendar from the same widget.
Other than that, it is an amazing app, and I thank you for taking the time to develop the free version. 8/10. Fantastic job, but don't give up just yet.

Thanks that works, had to untick it and tick it again. But the App still FC's but in settings and doesn't load the weather completely. I have paid app as well.

Tagy is a new bundle of widgets that organize apps, contacts, bookmarks and settings into tag clouds on your home screen.
Tag cloud items will change color and size based on click frequency, allowing important items to stand out and unimportant items to fade. So your favorite items will be highlighted for faster access.
Tagy Settings and Tagy Google Services are Tagy widgets that present shortcuts to your system settings and links to Google mobile services and apps as tag clouds.
Use cases
Tag cloud user interface lets you to::
• Instantly access your content without scrolling or browsing folders;
• Obtain insights about usage patterns by locating infrequently used content such as unused apps or inactive contacts as well as favorite items; and
• Save space – one tag cloud can contain five times more items than a regular icon grid.
Features
Tagy is very friendly to your system:
• It consumes minimum system resources;
• It does not affect battery life;
• It needs only basic permissions; and
• It supports custom launchers and themes.
Tagy also supports portrait and landscape orientation.
Tagy widgets are free (main widgets pack is trial).
To go to the Tagy download pages, please see the QRs attached.

Some might, not me. I use NoWallpaper (black) with just the color text.
New version will not let me update apps. I have three app screens, and do not want to enable new apps on all, so they are all unchecked. Then after I install an app, I cannot go to the app widget where I want it and add it.

I've just looked at it and it should add new apps to the list, but they will be unchecked if you uncheck the Add new apps automatically mark. Note that installed app needs to have a launcher activity (be present in your apps list) to be added to the widget.

Awesome widget, thx

Tagy_ said:
Old version has similar behavior. It's by design now, but we'll change it in the future. We thought that if you uncheck the Add apps automatically mark, then you don't want updates for that widget, but that's not how it goes for many users.

I do want to selectively add apps, but my choice, and not automagically (sic).

I've just looked at it and it turns out we've already implemented what I have described So you should see all your installed apps in the widgets apps list, either you turn the Autoadd option on or off. The only difference is when this option is off, the new app will be unchecked in the list. But note that installed app needs to have a launcher activity (be present in your apps list) to be added to the widget.
Can you specify what app does not show in the widgets apps selection? Or maybe you could try to install any ordinary app from the market and see whether it will show up.

using right now it's very goog credits to you.

It is/was GMail, flashed in recovery, GApps and an ICS alpha ROM. After some reboots it shows up, but then Play Store just updated itself and it is gone from Tagy and I cannot get it back.
It might be the alpha ROM doing it. I will try again when I restore my normal ROM and see.

New App - Amazing technology! The end of homescreen chaos!

What is it?
How many times have you rambled through your phone searching for an App? Wondering where in the world, among all those icons is the one you are searching.
Worry no more! That's what EZ-Launch is for.
To be honest, Ez-Launch is more of a widget than an app, and it helps you makes sense of your overburdened home screen.
How do I install it ?
Well, after you find " Ez-Launch " on google play store and download (Apologies for the absence of a link) and download, You add the Ez-Launch widget to your homepage, and EZ does the rest.
The app will learn your preferences and give you E-Z access to your favorite apps.
What if I don't want this app or that app on my widget? What choices do I have?
In purpose of enabling you more control we have defined a settings screen that enables you to select one of 3 options for every app installed on your device:
Always - This app will always be on the widget
Off - Never place this app on the widget.
Auto - Its up for the EZ-Launch app to decide.
In addition you also have the possibility to save a state of the widget (a certain collection of apps that you like) and load it later on as you please.
What?? How does it work? Is it... MAGIC!?
No. It isn't magic. It is a project developed by 4 Computer science students from Tel aviv University within an android technologies workshop in collaboration with Google.
During the project we have researched, studied and developed algorithms and heuristics (Yeah, sounds a bit complicated) all for your benefit and ease of mind. In order not to burden the reader, we will briefly just explain that the application service simply learns you, and knows how to give you the most convenient arrangement for your home screen that just continues to improve.
This is a project in the Beta phase, and we strongly recommend that you give it a try and download, especially if you know someone (Like your parents) that is having a hard time managing their home screen.
For those of you who don't know what Beta means, it is the phase right before the official release of the app, where you get to try it for free(!) and even influence the development by giving us your valuable feedback.
That's right! If you have complaints, suggestions, or any type of feedback just let us know by contacting the development team by mail:
[email protected]
Or on our Facebook page, where you can also LIKE us:

So download, enjoy and let us know what you think.
Yours with love,
EZ-Launch Team.

Thanks. We would love to get your feedback.

To be honest...
This has quite the potential. I am amazed that I seem to be the only one trying it out here! I've been using it a couple of days now and it already gives me a great list of my most used widgets. I'm using it as a 5x3 widget on my note and thanks for making it scrollable as well! :thumbup:
I will recommend this! Thanks!

Great app indeed!
I only have one comment: while using it with Nova Launcher, resizing the widget 'kills' the way the icons are displayed, as I can only see half of the last row (for custom number of rows/columns).

good work with the app, reminds me of similar things with WinMo 6.x on my Sony Eric son X1 a while back. Would be nice to have resizable app icons within the widget though, if possible.

What a great idea! I am also surprised this app is not getting more attention. Nice work.

Thank you all for the positive feedback. We derive great pleasure in knowing that people like our creation and find it useful.
Besides from relishing on your compliments we would also like to hear any suggestions or complaints you might have. Do not hesitate to post here, email us at [email protected] or like us on facebook.com/EzLaunch

You can scroll up/down to see all the apps

Nice you planing on ability to change icons and text ...theme abilities.

Hi. Is it possible to have an option for the widget to return to the top of its list after launching an app? Would love to see this feature added if possible.

AW: New App - Amazing technology! The end of homescreen chaos!
Hi,
Nice app. Would be great if you could make icon text optional and a scale down for icons. Till now I used a launcher-x widget on my home screen that is 5x2 grid size and contains 7x3 icons of my most used apps.
As is use these apps often the text is not needed. By scaling down the icons I can just get more icons in it.
Pretty nice app so far. If you could implement some of these features it would be worth buying it.

The last update from a couple of hours ago caused a reset. Just use your phone like normal and after a couple of hours or days the widget will automatically give you a better list.
