Hi everyone,
I'm very new at this site and not sure if it is the right place post the thread but anyway.
A friend of mine and I are especially interested in cooking Cookie Home Tab widgets. We are located in Russia and primary doing iPhone development but I have some win mo relevant experience.
We got a few things working like google search and notes.
As for now it is buggy and design is ugly=)
We'll continue our work and finally I hope will release a widgets pack.
I'd like to get some help :
1. Please vote for widgets that you like most of all
You can post Android or Yahoo widgets links for reference
2. We are looking for a designer who can make it all look better and work on skin packs
I will put it all together at my site next week.
Please let me know your thoughts
I would appreciate any feedback
"I really would like to have a widget for the alarm clock. Even a shotcut would be handy. For further improvments, it could show if the alarm is active and remaining time until the alarm."
As I can see Alarm link is available in Appointment Widget.

"Is it possible to make a Photo widget and Calender widget? Emails and messages have been able to be ported across, is it possible to bring the Sense flip photos and calander across???"
Our first priority would be new functionality but not the port of existing one.

I like the idea. Will take a look from implementation perspective.
It would be great if you can workout some screen shots for "Alarm","Search" and "Quick Notes" in "windroid" look and feel.
If you need any help with skins for the widgets then I'd be happy to help.....

Yes but it is a very small button and it comes with digital clock which is unnecessary. Also it is hard to tell if the alarm is on or off by looking that button.

Right now the widgets that are in progress do not have any skin at all.
It is just an input box for search and white area for notes.
I'd like to get some ideas for design.
It should be simple, intuitive and follow general manila look and feel.
I would appreciate any art works for now.
We can make a simple voting and choose the most popular to apply.
However I'd like to provide several skins and layouts for each widget in future.

I hope we would get some visual presentation for the alarm widget.
Please feel free to post any suggestions.
The implementation looks pretty simple if we gonna use standard alarm to grep some data. I will take a look and get back to you soon.
Any chance of getting a hold of the basic image files you have? just to get a feel for the dimensions and what goes where??

Some very basic view for alarm widget
Hi,
I noticed that HTC removed their HTC News app and widget from Sense 4/4a.
Is there a way to get it working on Sence 4/4a ROMs?
And if not, what is the best replacement to its widget?
Thanks in advance.

Try the google reader app!

Google currents is nice app also, but u'll miss the Widget!
Google weather and news app is nice app to!
There's plenty of useful news apps on google play store! (Market)
Try flipboard

Thanks! But I couldn't find it in Market. Did you mean FlipSocial maybe?
BTW, I didn't mention it before, but I'm looking for app where I can add my custom RSS feeds, and able to add my gmail (Google Reader) account, the HTC News could do all that.
The Google Reader app/widget is actually a good option which I'm using currently, just looking for other option also
minimal reader
You can use minimal reader. it is good customizable news widget.

Try that http://db.tt/2z9VGWTj
You still get a News and weather widget in Sense 4/4a. Isn't that sufficient
Miniread- new kind of news reading experience
Try out MiniRead news app. It shows the news updates in moving text style like TV news channels shows on the bottom screen(News ticker style).
It is very much customizable mini window and can be placed anywhere on the screen.
Just click on any news highlight and it'll open up in browser or youtube app depending on its web content or video.
Give it a try.

Hello,
I installed MIUI v4 on my Desire S recently. I downloaded the port from miuiandroid.com. I am loving this ROM, but the weather widget doesn't seem to be working, and there appears to be no weather app installed. know about weather.miui.es, but what you get there is an older version of the widget which can't use your current location. I know this is a bit of a silly question which probably has a simple solution, but does anyone know what to do to get that widget working?
Thanks in advance.
There is no international version yet, sorry
That's a but of a pain... But there is still probably hope. Since I started this thread, I heard Xiaomi and miuiandroid.com are working on an international version of their weather widget, so let's hope it gets put together soon... By the way, do you know of any good looking, free weather widgets?
Nope, sorry mate
I'm not a weather kinda guy.
I use the window - it's high res!
I use the window too, but unfortunately, it doesnt show the weather for places I intend travelling too.

try the BETA version seems to work well
How do I delete some cities ?
Is it possible to Create widget 4X1 thanks
I'll give it a try. I'm still looking for the perfect weather app.
My only deal breaker when it comes to weather apps: Clocks. I hate clock widgets. I hate weather widgets that have clocks on them. I can't understand why they are so prevalent. It's torture.
Looks, nice however got a nice bootloop when trying to pen it on the n7 2013 running L. Is it only good up to kk?
Option to delete a city appears when you long-press a city
Question about addition of a city in the database:
I wanted to add the city "l'Hospitalet de l'Infant" in Spain, and added the request on the website. But I had some difficulties to understand how to find its geoname-id (even I read the forum). I finally found it, and added it, but maybe you could add in your forum a simple way to get it, for people like who don't know
Else all is ok, widget and wallpaper. It's very nice.

To delete a city follow these steps
1. Tap on location name to open the list of favorite locations
2. Long tap on the location you want to delete.
A popup menu to appear.
3. Choose Delete from the menu,
No, widget 4x1 is not available yet.
Stay tuned!

We are having a minor problem with our servers.
As soon as it will be resolved the location should be available on Android and iOS.
I expect in 30 - 50 minutes.
Thank you so much for such a positive comment

YoWindow is not supporting L, unfortunately so far.
That's because of a piece of C++ code that crashes by an unknown reason.
We don't have a device to test L on.
So that's kind of a problem.
I hope to take care about it after the release rush is over.
Thanks for reporting anyway

Thx, there is nothing urgent, of course.
Can I suggest you something: on the widget, there is no option to update its parameters directly. Could we imagine to have a "parameter" icon on the widget?

Its almost what i was searching, the only problem is that it lacks icon packs most of the one that it has are too fancy for me. Bellow is a photo comparison of the 2 widgets, in my opinion SIW has a better appearance.
