Hello!
I think you all know these universal Widget creation tools like Zooper or UCCW. I have a question about these. I tried both but I find it extremely tiresome and ineffective to tap a widget together directly on the device. Is there no similar utility that has a Windows helper app where you can create the widget (align graphics, add gauges, etc) on the computer and then sideload it to the device?
It would be so much easier...

Ive just released a widget pack ( search for miromind - widgetpack ) to the market which contains:
An application dock widget (4x1) which can have as many shortcuts as you like and can be browsed directly from the homescreen.
Clicking on the widget will give you an easy manager which allows you to add applications and all shortcuts like contacts, bookmarks etc and arrange them how you like.
And it contains a clock designer widget (1x1/2x2) which allows you to easily create your own personal new clocks by selecting the graphics for the clock dial and hands.
Just bought this. This is something I was def looking for. I like it so far. Have 2 running on main screen. Nice.
Sounds useful. When XDANDROID works a bit better on my Diamond, I'll consider buying.
So where is the download link than i can try it
can't find it in the market
OK, where to start. I've been searching forums and the internet in general trying to find a way to mix and match Fancy widget & Beautiful Widgets to get the desired effect I'm looking for.
I've been trying endlessly to find a way to get Fancy widget to open up Beautiful Widgets Forecast when I touch the weather icon and there seems to be no easy way to do this (if it can be done at all).
Now, I must say I have tried Fancy Widget, Beautiful Widgets and Weather & Toggle Widget and so far I love the look of Fancy Widget, love the look of Beautiful Widgets Forecast and didn't like Weather & Toggle Widget at all.
I have noticed that the Forecast app/add-on does appear in my Recent apps when I long press Home; so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me figure out a way to get Fancy Widget to see it as an app when choosing an app to open when touching the weather icon.
Also, Beautiful Widgets by default brings up the Alarms section of the Clock app but I can only get Fancy Widget to bring up the Clock app instead of directly bringing up the Alarms section. If anyone knows a way to achieve this also, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I've been playing around in the sdk for a while now and I'm not so good at programing or anything, but I did manage to make a few clock widgets that I would consider very nice looking (I'm somewhat decent at photoshop).
Now, I know how make an apk with the widget, and I'm pretty sure I know how to put multiple widgets in a single apk (although I haven't tried yet)
I have noticed that some apps that have more than one widget (like google voice, or twitter) will say "(2 widgets)" underneath the name and allow me to choose which one I want after click the name.
How would I implement this in my own app?
summary:
I want to create a pack of clocks (4 clocks). on the widget menu it'll be called "clock pack" (I haven't thought of the name yet) and when you click on that it'll give you a choice of which clock you want, each clock with a unique name and possible a unique icon; would it be possible to give each a unique icon?
thank you in advance
Did you ever get an answer to this? I have been attempting to include several clock faces with my clock widget also but can not come up with any workable solutions to allow the user to select the clock face.
Guys, I just came across this great piece of software called Widget Window.
You can use it to create floating windows of any existing homescreen widget. It also places a convenient link in notifications where you can get your widgets in and out of the screen. Plus it´s free with no ads. Really recommend it.
Widgets I´m currently using:
Application Monitor - to replace the missing taskmanager from JB
Assistive Light - quick access to a saving torch anytime
Genius Widget - convenient Scientific Calculator (better than stock calc and themed to fit my current homescreen)
Stick Notes HD - quick post-it time of notes as S-Notes should have
Very handy app thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Very nice. I was asking but I just figured it out :
It is possible to resize the floating widget (click just above the floating widget's title bar). There's also a well made help in the app's menu.
Purpose: I have 1x1 Titanium Backup widget that works perfeclty. However, it looks horrendous and does not match my layout.
Objective I am trying to find a way to use a simple 1x1 image/icon to replace or launch the widget's functionality. Or remove the label on the Titanium Backup widget.
What I've Tried:
Tasker - but, their 1x1 widget is just as bad
Shortcuts - function is not available via this method
UCCW - nope not the right functionality
Popup Widget - seemed like a good idea, couldn't get it to work, contacted dev
Suggestions: ??? Any ideas? 3rd party apps?
Ps. I'm using Nova Launcher Prime. Changing launchers isn't really an option I'm fond of committing to.
Solution: Popup Widget did exactly what I needed. Developer answered quickly. Needed to directly add a shortcut to homescreen.
