So CM10.1 users have to wait for a CM update to get this? This version seems to have more options than the one I'm already using in CM10.1.

Today's nightly will have the exact same functionality. It was merged last night. I plan to keep them in sync.

Great work.
You should add settings option for maximized lock screen and long press unlock.

Not without a lot of work. The digital clock component is a new feature built into android 4.2.
I will have to back port it for the widget to work on 4.x and then it would only support home screen in any case since earlier versions of Android did not have lock screen widgets.
I'm not sure it is worth the effort to maintain two versions.

I think it would not only support home screen widgets but also lock widgets since both cm and aokp have the option to add all widgets on lock but i don't know in much about the app so your decision is final..

This replaces or is alternative to the cronus? Yes, it does. With nice colored icons as well.

Nice to see the updates
But some things like: - Minimized weather widget support (especially handy on lock screen) doesnt work on my mdpi device with this version. I think mdpi layout is not correct.
This is what it looks like actually (v2.0 from OP with minimized setting to enable weather on minimized lockscreen widget)
This is how it should look if im right. (My old v1.0-based Version)
Hope you can fix it for mdpi devices.

I don't have an MDPI device to test it on so I'm not sure if it is even possible to do it given the reduced number of pixels. I will play with it later this week and see if I can figure out the required dimensions.

Edit: Added the dimens.xml file i used hope this may help you in further developement

Ah... an official standalone, finally! thank you!
Been running AOKP, but I love the cLock (especially over dashclock due to the ability to display multiple calendar events). I've installed a unofficial version, but it's nice knowing this is official, updated one.
BTW... running perfectly on my N4 with AOKP.

Wow, liking this way better than Dashclock! Thanks for your efforts!

Can you please add accuweather suport ? I have a few locations that are only coverd by them.
And cool app i gave you 5 stars
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
I think this is a pretty nice app.been using it for a while.
Only 4 issues i have with it
1 ..Behind the temp display on the widget,the green grass/flower image i feel is unnecessary unless it can change on different weather times.
I.E if it is snowing then maybe snow in background,if it windy then maybe leaves etc.no matter what the weather i get green grass/flowers which looks pretty crass.
2...The alert(notification) for drastic weather change,what is classed as drastic weather change?
.i have had the app for about 6 weeks and only just this past week or so has it started too alert me of weather change.But nothing i would class as drastic,if it is cloudy today and going too rain tmw then it will make a notification,but it could rain all night and be normal cloudy day following.
If it was going too be very high winds then yeah an alert in needed,torrential rain etc.but then at what point do you/app decide the following days weather will be drastic.
3....when adding location i get problems locating server when i choose too input location using the browse option..
Location-browse location-United kingdom-Scotland-"city" will bring up server error.Could be connection error my side but just noting it.
4...On the weather display the time i have set for update is 1 hour,but it is now 4.11pm and the display says conditions as of 2.50pm.
I solved this myself if you come out the app and back in it updates but does not always do it.Since when you use settings it says updating but does not fix that problem.But as i said coming out the app and back in should fix it most times.
I just noticed the same thing on your Paris image,the time 10:32am but the conditions 3:00am.this should auto update along with the hourly update i reckon.
I know it seem like long winded issues but just trying too explain the best i can,i really like the app and find it better then bw which i used too have.
P.s
Im rambling now,im not good at explaining things in writing but trying my best.still best weather app i tried so far.
I understand it beta so will be some issues,so not slating the app.
Samsung Galaxy s 2.2.1.
Using the latest version 1.7.1 Beta Build 19.
The app/widget doesn't update unless I'm connected to a wifi network.
Might be having the same issue. Don't have a wifi network to test with ATM though. I just get a message that there's a network error and that I.should check my network settings.

GOWeather 5-day forecast updating issue
Hi,
I downloaded GOWeather last night and I really like it, but there seems to be a problem with the five day forecast at the bottom of my screen.
The forecast in the main screen updates when I manually refresh (doesn't seem to happen otherwise - I noticed someone else has mentioned that) but nothing I can do makes the five-day forecast update. It still says "Tonight Tomorrow Thurs Fri Sat". It's Wednesday now, so I want it to change!
When I set it to forecast date the date changes (4/20, 4/21, 4/22, etc) although the weather predicted doesn't, but if I switch it back to day, it goes back to "Tonight Tomorrow Thurs Fri Sat".
Hope this can be fixed
EDIT: It does update when I'm on wi-fi. And the widget running on my lock screen updates continously. It just seems to be the 5 day forecast on "Day" not date. I'll double check by leving it off wifi overnight again.
Im getting a problem with the clock time,it seems ok for a while them just stop and even when i go into the app itself and update the time dont change.
last time it happened it was 2pm and i looked at my phone only for it too show 9.48am.
i have now uninstalled the app til it gets some bug fixing,i understand it in beta form so wont slate it,it still a good app just need some things sorted out.
I can not get the "themes" to download, and also, the "Default Videos Including Night" stops at 85% on the download.
I like it alot though!! Huawei Ascend v2.1
What does the "wallpaper" theme do in the settings? I don't see any wallpapers added to my gallery when I download them (on a droid 2).
Also, does this include functionality to be added to your lockscreen or do you need widget locker? If so, how?
I'd really like to use this app but it won't update at all for me unless I'm on wifi which is very rarely. I also would love to see a 1x1 widget eventually.
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
cool Ill try it
Wallpaper themes loaded today, but now the Default Videos Including Night will not even start...
Clock has been correct, alarm works great, and the visuals are fantastic!! Thanks for this great app...
Also it does have a lock screen view
i keep coming back to this app after trying other free ones, nice forcast details and attention to details with graphics and overall are very well done. its quite a suprise how GO team provide this for free including there other apps!
only request is, there any chance geo location will be added and maybe adding 5 day forcast to a 4x1 or 4x2 widget.
keep up the good work,
thanks.
I love this app. This has become my widget of choice, even over Fancy Widget Pro or Beautiful Widgets. I love the animations on the weather screen and the widget looks nice. One request would be to have changeable skins, or at least to be able to get rid of the flowers on the widget. Great widget regardless.
Edit: I just updated to V1.8 and found the widget skins. The one available now is really nice. Love this widget.
SWEET!! Love the changes/improvments just AWESOME!! All the wallpaper/theme downloads worked fine with the v1.8.
All I can say is keep up the great app... it is by FAR the BEST I have come across!!
Maybe you could add a Weather Radar option sometime down the line? Either way this app ROCKS!!
Awesome weather application, but you guys need to fix the LIVE wallpaper settings and make it work for night time. was 11 PM at night and the sun was out in the LWP?
Still wont update if not on wifi.

Great App!
My only request is if you can add those weather effects to custom wall papers?

I second this as well. This would be an awesome LWP if applied properly!
Really like this app.
But to not have constant GeoLocation (only fixed locations) is kind of a deal breaker for me, since I drive around alot.
Dont want to have pages of weather data....

I would just ask for losing the text shadows. Or adding an option.
And if cause, a news rss widget.

Thank you...

People judge by the default theme instead of the actual functionality.
Just check the 'Use Thin Frame' and suddenly it won't look like LP.
Lets take the people widget as an example
APW shows Facebook pictures of contacts.
APW allows you to change click action to direct dial or direct message (even for each contact separately).
APW can sort contacts by frequently called first (In the paid version it even allows custom order and creation of custom groups).
APW can show contacts also in a list view.
It is true that LP widgets have their advantages like month flipping in the calendar and generally they behave much better on Launcher Pro
(Note: Launcher pro only support an old scrollable widgets API so any scrollable widget except for LP's own is not as slick as it could be).
We have absolutely nothing against Launcher Pro, it is a great launcher !
You are all free to try both
'use thin frame' should be enabled by default.

Do you plan to implement notifications with read, unread, mark all as read etc. options like colorize widgets have?
Edit: colorize widgets doesn't have this option. I remeber seing it somewhere but I can't remeber where.

[APP][WIDGET][2.1+] Weather ACE - weather app with stats

Weather ACE (Accurate, Customizable, Easy-to-use)​Customizable weather forecasts based on forecast statistics
Uploaded with ImageShack.us​He all! We have lot of weather applications available for android, but most of them - use only one weather source and have very limited customization options.
Who it's bad to rely on the only one weather source for information? - be course you don't see alternatives. Weather forecasts usually made by using of weather forecasts models. Different weather forecast sources (Weather Underground, Accuweather, National Weather Service and etc) use different forecasts models that produce sometimes completely different forecasts. The main idea of the application - provides best (by forecast statistics) available data in easy-to-use way and allows to customize application look.
Application features:
- Accurate weather forecasting by using generated forecast statistics (it's compare current weather with that was predicted)
- Contains multiple views for weather information, daily, hourly and extended weather information. Possibility to compare weather information from different weather data sources in a view.
- Home screen widgets. Common widget and stack widget (stack widget required android 3.0+).
- Supports millions of locations.
- Lot of options for customization (most of colors, fonts, icon themes, units of measure etc). All three feels-like types of temperatures supported.
- Lot of usefull and precize informations about weather, sun and moon. I used best available algoritms for all the information.
- Phone and tablet optimized (Android 2.1+ required).
- Weather ACE contains internal help, I working on homepage now.
- developed in the way to use less battery as possible.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
It's mostly just a start. My current planing:
- weather graphs.
- support for plugins (weather icons, pictures, fonts, may be more). Possible even custom views (the application already have part of code for it).
- 3+ more new views.
- weather maps with offline support.
The application contains ads, but I see lot of special applications here that can help you with ads, so it's you decision - will you see the ads or not. :fingers-crossed: You can also just buy a version without of ads and helps me improve the application more.
Application link on Google play market
Application seems stable for me. I have no crashes at all.
Feel free to share your ideas about the application and new features that you need here or via mail.
The application now #14 in "Top New Free" on Google Play for category "Weather" (was #15 several hours ago, so it grows). I see no ANRs/crashes in my google play developer console, so seems completely stable. Have lot of new installs today.
Please check, I hope it will suit your needs too. I would be grateful for any feedback (here or via mail) for to make the application better.
Menu is janky on my GPE One and I don't have the option to buy the ad free version. Is it available for all countries?

About of ad free version: google don't not allow my country to put paid apps on google play market. So I posted it on amazon, currently it still in review there. I will inform you via forum mail (and in the thread) if you are interested.
Google Play updated to version 1.1.0.
There are lot of new interesting features from first version:
- added weather charts with lot of customization options. 2 types of charts, 3 styles, colors and more.
- added one more weather source - Yahoo. So, it's easy now to compare up to 4 weather sources.
- added new weather icon theme.
- 4x1 widget now can be resized, supported 1x1, 2x1, 4x1, 5x1. But it's not all - 1x1 widget have 3 types (current, today, tomorrow) and can be changed on fly. The widget can be set as transparent and it possible to change all colors of the widget.
- lot of small improvements and fixes.
Current planing: will add one more widget - 2x2, transparent, with lot of customization options - layout, fonts, colors (all independent from other widget settings).
New version 1.1.3. Added 2x2 transparent widget with lot of customization options (color, icon sets, fonts, content types) and a widget constructor that you can use for to make your our widget from available content blocks.

· Several bugfixes.
In it's latest vrrsion it is outstanding. My very favorite weather app. Using its plug-in for Tasker is icing on the cake
I love this app, will there be more updates or no more support for this great app? I really like thats its so customizeable and i can change design to match my homescreen, even colors and weather icons. I find that radar and maps are missing areas sometimes, sometimes theres a lot of gray rectangles without any data. I want to display hourly weather from app with Tasker plugin in KWGT, how to do it and it is possible? How to create apk with weather icons?
Ya....this is the best Weather App out there. Love it. Nothing else like it around.
I've read everywhere that this weather app is supposed one of the best ones but it seems that many people (myself included) are experiencing a problem that prevents it to start (at least on Nougat). The app immediately crashes miserably as soon as is started.
The play store review section is now full of reviews where people is complaining because of that.
Do you guys know if the developer is aware of it, or did it abandon the development?

***Disclaimer***
This launcher project is a homebrew learning curve for a future in code development.
I am more experienced in reading code than writing code so bare with the timely updates as this project is a learning
experience for me and for developers looking to develop their own launcher to understand how much time a project like this could take up.
This launcher uses the Google Services API to power google plus features and manage cache data stored from the launcher to improve performance.
It also needs permission to access your INTERNAL/EXTERNAL DATA, MAKE CALLS AND ACCESS CONTACT INFORMATION and
I can guarantee your data is safe as nothing is taken of yours.
This data is only needed to allow gestures to work correctly and the launcher to perform accurately, if you don't agree on to this code, than you can leave this room.
I promise your device is safe in my hands.
Cheers!
INTRO
Background Story: I began development on Sapphire UI a little over a year ago, link. It's purpose was to be an all exclusive launcher built based on HTC Sense's firmware (Version 6 at the time) and provide HTC device owners a new approach in managing their applications on their device, provide helpful backdoors to managing their device and information and be built on an innovative user interface based on Sense. Well things were looking great, untill HTC updated to Sense7. I had 2 options; ditch the api for Sense6 that rom devs were using and create my own based on HTCs code for Sense7 using smalli injection methods and maintain the API through firmware updates or convert the launcher to full AOSP and just keep the lock in the manifest for HTC devices. Ultimately, I lost interest all together because an AOSP app exclusively for a Sense rom just looked like crap and maintaining a homebrew sense api insided an app based on firmware that could update at any time was way to much work for me atm soooo, I got some feedback from my legacy users on the google plus group, took a long break and decided to rebuild the launcher exclusively for Android 5 and above adding exclusive features for touch.

Mission Statement
To provide my users with an accurately designed launcher experience for the minimum sdk21 powered devices. This means the launcher is built with the latest targeted sdk (24) and is has the standardized tweaks launchers should contain in the launcher market. This launcher is also Fremium meaning its free but allows users to purchase a license code to null out intrusive donation dialogs (Altho a free product to android users, I would like to get funding for my time so i can go bigger). This launcher is also powered by Google Services to provide exclusive Google Plus Features and a faster performance on AOSP devices. This project has a very friendly community on Google Plus and we would like to keep it that way! This project also has an awesome dev that does give aways, one on one time with users to troubleshoot problems and takes request; which is hard to find these days.
Feedback
I enjoy feedback however negative comments keep to yourself. I want a clean thread. If you want to trash talk on Google Plus or Twitter, go for it. I build based on community request and suggestions. What Sapphire is today is based on this awesome community at Google Plus.
Updates
I now will be publishing 2 types of updates.

Alpha or Dev Preview Builds: Released on XDA Labs (now live!)

Source Code:
Previously, the plan was to open source the project to community rom devs. Because of the extensive amount of work ive included in this Launcher and several features being forks of obsolete projects on github and a numerious amount of Android Libs included, i fear the source will be abused on kangs so, this project will not be open sourced howevor i will glady share any snibbet code to any developers and developers who would like to contribute or fix something is welcomed as I've had a few contribute in small ways. Community rom devs are welcomed to use Sapphire Launcher in their custom roms with permission from myself. I made this decision because of the numerous developers work being included and the license that protects it.

Attention Users
Sapphire Launcher is no longer receiving major updates. It will continue to receive support updates that will garuntees firmware compatibility, bug fixes and minor adjustments.
A sequel launcher is currently in development and will not recieve a xda developer thread. This launcher project will consume the majority of 2017 and be a premium product of GocalSD. Follow the Google Plus Group for frequent updates and information. Follow me on Twitter for updates as well.
Thankyou for using Sapphire Launcher and supporting my work! Things are about to get interesting in 2017. Sapphire Launcher has always been my bread and butter as a developer, now its time to move onto something bigger and better.
Great launcher!
Thanks! Works very well for alpha!:thumbup:

Why only on HTC devices? You can use HTC Sense on all other devices too.

This reboot project is not just for Sense devices,its for all android 5 devices. The deprecated version was sense exclusive. And that's a negative, with the given resources anyway. Prism can be installed on aosp devices yes, but devs outside of htc do not have the resources to build a sense powered app for non-sense powered devices. You can create built in resources to run a sense interface but its way to much work.

So I always have to download manually, or do you can add an Updater later?
Maybe you create a separated topic for all that?

For now as i mention updates are available, use the manual update preference. I am currently looking into an ota update function untill i roll this into google play but its not working correctly atm.

This week, im going to focus on a few things that are of priority.
-Materialize custom shortcut activity
-Revamp Launcher preferences
-Gesture Support
-Replace Google licensed material
Getting you the updates is a priority so, Im going to be focused on readying this launcher for its re-launch on google play so i dont have to worry about making an ota method prior to google play launch. Just need to remove Google stock graphics and items licensed for their products only.
Remember, I do post alot of previews on the google plus group and ask alot of questions and post over their for feedback.

You mean link it to a hardware or softkey menu button? I could but not many devices have that unless it has a custom navbar.

Working with qsb bar this weekend. The google search bar widget is something of the google now launcher so im taking a ADT approach. Those of you who have android tv may notice the search bar looks similar to your interface. Going to be adding another FAB menu button to access other goodies that doesnt instruct our workspace view

Hey man.
Need help with translating? I'll translate your app to French. Gimme the strings if you're interested
This might appear in the nightly tonight. Make sure its running for you.
Header card now is your Google Plus card. Shows just your name in the Dashboard. May grab profile banner picture for drawer background. Going to be implementing Google Plus here soon.
