NextEvent gives you a simple view of how long until your next calendar appointment or alarm. A 1x1 widget on your home screen shows you at a glance how many days, hours, or minutes until your next event. Easily see how much time until your next meeting at work, or keep an eye on how many hours until the alarm is going to go off in the morning.

Other calendar widgets take up a lot of space on your home screen, but NextEvent is small and straightforward. The widget focuses solely on telling you when your next event is coming. Clicking the widget brings up a full list of all upcoming events, with description, location, and time for each. You can also optionally add your next event to the notification bar.
NextEvent integrates with the following sources:
Built-in calendar app
System alarm and other alarms that write to the system alarm property (see note below)
Alarm Clock Xtreme
Alarm Clock Plus
If you have another source you’d like me to consider adding, please let me know. Please note that my ability to integrate it depends on either an existing interface from that provider, or willingness to add one for this purpose. Some apps may not be possible to integrate.
If you have any problems, questions, or comments, please be sure to let me know here or email me directly. I’m an independent developer with a day job, but I will do everything I can to answer your questions and resolve any problems as quickly as possible.
More on alarm integration:
Android provides a system property that any app can write to indicating the next alarm time. If you only have your default system alarm application installed, this should work fine. If nothing happens when you click on an alarm in the detail list, or if it opens the wrong application, please go to Menu -> Settings -> Global Alarm Application and choose what program should be opened.
If you use – or even have just installed – a 3rd party alarm application, it may cause problems with this property. Since both the default and 3rd party apps are writing to this property, one may write to the property that there is no scheduled alarm, overwriting the alarm the other app has set. NextEvent supports more direct integration with two popular alarm clock programs, Alarm Clock Plus and Alarm Clock Xtreme. If you use either program, the direct integration will not have any of these problems. It also supports showing multiple alarms and timers that have been set in those applications. I may look into adding direct integration with other alarm programs if they support it.

Changelog/announcements
v1.1.1:
- Full ICS+ support (sorry for the delay!)
- Optional icon in the notification bar with a countdown to the next event (just the closest hour or day if > 90 minutes, or minutes if < 90 minutes). ICS+ only for now.
Save one more
You never know, might need one more...
Will this be available for 4.0+? This is the only calendar widget or indeed app I've found that has a countdown view including hours and minutes of upcoming events.
Have you realized that there is not calendar widget out there with time until event? eg:
- 10pm Event XXXX (in 5h:25m)
I would gladly pay for a widget like that...

So are you basically looking for a widget that includes the event title, in addition to what's there now? I can certainly add that -- it'd most likely need to be a bigger widget to fit the title in a readable font (maybe 2x1). So I'd keep the 1x1 version for those who want it. Let me know if that's what you had in mind.

Actually, the perfect widget for me would be a 4x1, and in it accommodate the next 2-3 events:
- 11am Event A (in 5h6m)
- 1pm Event B (in 7h6m)
- 3pm Event C (in 9h6m)
I have pure calendar widget, and when I asked the dev to include this feature the reason he gave me to not include it was that it would be a battery hog as he would have to make it update every x minutes. Now, I had this kind of widget when I had my HTC phone, and what the widget did was to redraw itself with the updated time every time I would turn on the display.
Please tell me if this is possible without making it a big battery drain.
Thanks a lot for looking into it!!
P.S. I even know the name it should have: "NextEvents"
KWGT is KLWP little brother, if you do not want animations and per second updates or just need a widget, than, this is it! Same great customization, global properties, layers, effects, complex objects, live maps and a LOT of data, weather, astronomy, world clock, rss, you name it! And you can copy objects from KLWP too!
App is available on the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.widget
Or via manual download here: https://kustom.rocks/kwgt/apk
Use KWGT awesome WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor to create you own designs and display any data you need, at once and without draining your battery as many others tools do! With Kustom Widget you can create customized Digital and analog clocks, live map widgets, sophisticated Battery/Memory meters, randomly changing images, music players and much much more. Imagination is the limit.
Official XDA Threads
Kustom Komponents Gallery (AKA reusable Widgets inside Kustom)
Kustom APK Skins Pack
What's the difference with Zooper, Mycw, Buzz or UCCW??
You have Komponents which are like widgets inside widgets or reusable items inside the editor. So for example you can create a clock and redistribute it as a module for KWGT, users will just add your clock and change the options you expose (like colors and font), there are many examples online on the store already or you can check the dedicated thread above
You can download content directly from HTTP, so you can have a Google Map with the city you are in directly in the widget background if you want, or use Street View, or you can have a Komponent that does that for you like this, you can add it with one click
You have global variables, so you can set a color once and then use it whenever you like, so, when you want to change it you just change the global and it will change the color everywhere in one click, this allows users of your theme to change color easily
You can create touch actions that will hide / show elements based on touch, so you can show full weather data when someone clicks on a weather icon and then hide it automatically after X seconds
You have containers, so you can group items inside an object, move them together, apply effects and rotation to the entire group
You have built in music support, so music will work without any additional tool, no music utilities needed, it just works
You have more effects, like long shadows, morphable text, blur images and so on
You can extract colors from images, cover art or anything downloaded from the internet (like kolorette does, but builtin)
You can use formulas on any property you like, no need to use "advanced parameters", you just turn a property into a formula and then you can do anything you like
You have full support for different location, so you can apply a location to any group and make a world clock in seconds, locations are then easily accessible from the settings
You have much more functions, you can download text from HTTP, use regular expressions, parse RSS, XML and JSON, do math with dates, create timers
Much better resizing, the widget will resize automatically and touch will always work on any module regardless of the orientation
A wizard to create APK skins in seconds without any Android development knowledge or additional tool except the JDK
Last but not least KWGT is much much more battery efficient, you can check this easily with a good battery monitor like better battery stats plus, Kustom has 2 processes so you can clearly see the difference between the editor and the real widget/wallpaper service)
Free Features
Some skin to start with and some Komponent (a Widget inside a Widget in Kustom)
Some free featured Komponents and Presets from the Play Store
Text with custom fonts, colors, sizes and effects
Shapes like Ovals, Rects, Arcs, Triangles, Exagons and more
3D flip transformations, curved and skewed text
Gradients, shadows, tiling and color filters
Progress bars Zooper like (but better!)
Photoshop / GIMP like layers with overlay effects (blur, clear, xor, difference, saturation)
Touch actions / hotspots on any object you create
Support for PNG / JPG / WEBp (also via HTTP download)
Complex programming with functions, conditionals and global variables
Dynamic download of content via HTTP (live maps, weather and so on)
Native music utilities (current playing song title, album, cover)
Weather with wind chill, feels like temperature and more
RSS and free XML / XPATH / Text download
Tasker support
A huge amount of data to display (like date, time, battery, calendar, astronomy (sunrise, sunset), CPU speed, memory, countdowns, WiFi and cellular status, traffic info, next alarm, location, moving speed, rom/device info and much more)

I've been waiting for this thread. Awesome app!!
Good
:good:
I really like this app but coming from zooper, i found some most needed features missing like SMS, missed calls, gmail etc. I hope you include these along with whatsapp, facebook and twitter.

So unread counts are planned, for SMS missed calls and Gmail i will add a plugin if you are running android < 6.0. Whatsapp / FB and Twitter have no way to get unread counts BUT i will add notifications support so you will be able to count unread notifications. Stay tuned

Great! it will be great to have most of zooper's customization features. Is there anyway to change the weather iconset? I liked zooper's resizable vector icons with option to change its color and alpha opacity.

Yeah sure, in KWGT you can even use SVG files for that and distribute them as Komponents, please check the "featured" section when adding a Komponent you will see many for download or search for Weather Komponents around, there are also some tutorials on the official page
Taking Zooper looks like abandonware, tryed this app. Look good, but placing text is a crime. Using Zooper you can give an area a destiny of text and regulate the max amount of lines, etc. Within KWGT I don't have real control over text items. This is a must have
Great potential....but not there yet (no buy yet). Hope it will (Love tweaking my homescreens!)

I can add the max number of lines on next release, very easy, i do not however understand the "etc", what else is missing? Also did you check the list of things that Zooper cannot do compared to KWGT? Its here. I know i am biased but i think KWGT is years ahead.
I don't doubt that Already seen some nice extra's
I also see a lot of similarites with Zooper, which makes me think it is based on in a new iteration (which makes me doubt for buying before I know it fits). It also could be a new app which uses Zooper and takes it a level further. (Seen a reaction in another thread, other people are doubting because of this). My goal: Getting the right app to do the things I want with my home screen And yours looks promising
My main problem is the widget size, compared to the text control. I understand you translate 720 to all other devices. But if I edit "my widget", it only gets a width which is maxed for a halve or third of the screen (On my Galaxy S6 using nova launcher). This makes editing harder to do. Scaling is one option, but it does not yet works practical for me (PEBKAC ?)
Also changing orientation looks like it is missing a correct scaling (widget gets wider, but it looks like it is smaller). But it changes, instead of zooper . There is also a lag when changing orientation (default redraw timer, not reacting to orientation switch).
What I like would be a text region on my canvas, which I can position and give a height (or max height) and width.
Dimensions are now based on
- Fixed width, which does not give me enough control to position multiline text (control is lost especially in the vertical)
- Fixed Font height, which results in text running out of the screen
- Fit width, which does not use the amount of space in the vertical
My suggestion would be to separate the text and text region (settings).
- Setting the dimensions: (width fixed or relative E.g. 100%, height), give the postion (fixed or relative)
- Setting the font info: How to use the region e.g. fixed font size, fill, vertical/horizontal alignment, max amount of lines/single line, (max amount of characters ?)
The etc is/was a lazy way of saying the above

This has nothing to do with Zooper, i started KLWP (and then KWGT) because i felt options on the store were really too bad in terms of resources and features and UI, so this is inspired by other widget makers (and wallpaper makers too) but completely on its own, so, you should avoid thinking about Zooper when using KWGT as its quite different on some fundamentals.
Anyway you do not actually need to buy KWGT since all features are available in the free version, but if you buy it and you feel you want a refund in, say, 1 month from now, just drop me an email, will refund.

The widget is different from the live wallpaper, in the widget with no scaling "720" means the shortest side of the widget (so the height on a 4x2 or the width in a 2x4), but you should not care about that since there is no limit on that anywhere and scaling just changes how that size is interpreted (so with scaling set to 200 720 will become 360), not sure why is impractical, it just works and scales correctly (Zooper does not even scale, if you change the widget size you have to relayout manually...). If you scale a KWGT it will redraw and adapt based on its size automatically.

You need to set Orientation to "AUTO" in the Widget settings, by default KWGT expects that your launcher orientation is locked. If you set it to AUTO it will draw properly in both orientation rearranging everything based on size, it will still have some lag, like 100/200ms depending on the complexity because KWGT will redraw everything (this is different from Zooper / UCCW they always draw both the landscape and portrait so there is no lag but they are much less efficient because you end up drawing something that you do not need most of the times doubling the resources required like RAM and CPU / Battery).

You can do max amount of characters or even ellipsize using $tc(ell, text, 10)$ for example, that will cut and if larger add "..." at the end. For everything else i think having the max number of lines combined with the fit width will do exactly what you want.
I was a zooper user for many years, and like others I began to realize that it appears to be an abandon product - certainly there were no updates for a long time.
I was looking to where to go in the future, and looked at all the similar products. KWLP (KWGT was not available at the time) appeared to be the most sophisticated of the alternatives.
I discovered that I was able to replicate all of my zooper widgets in KWLP - and it gave me even more capabilities. The only personal downside was that I prefered widgets (and the ease of placement on a page) to the live wallpaper. Then KWGT - gave me everything. In a very short time, I took all of my zooper, now kwlp items to kwgt. I now consider kwgt a complete (and then some) replacement to zooper. Bottom line, there was a small learning curve, but once past that I have everything I had with zooper and then some. On top of that, kwlp/kwgt is under constant development and super support from the developer. You can see from the responses above that he takes customer support and product quality/development very seriously. Zooper has no active development and I question if there is a future at all.
kwlp/kwgt has a very active user community on g+ (frankly I like xda forums better) - but there is alot of community and developer support.
Basically I made the switch and am very happy to have done so.

Is it possible to backup (not export) my widget config and reapply it to a new widget?
PS, the config utility is very heavy, sometimes it loads up to 5 minutes. WTF?
---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
One more question. Can the progressbars use a formula as a parameter? Or only fixed parameters? And can a standard progressbar (battery) use a custom number of sections?
Not bad, I try
The latest version has a strange bug. $nc(csiga)$ often freezes and constantly displays 9 (not 99!) until I lock the screen. I never had this bug on Zooper, so it's not hardware or firmware.

This loading issue has been reported by more than one user, i cannot reproduce it on my device and it does not happen on the live wallpaper version (KLWP) so i can't really understand what its going on, can you create a full bug report as explained here: http://kustom.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/615645-send-debug-data (follow the android bug report section), that will be very useful
To copy a widget into another you have 3 options:
Open the first, select all items press "copy" and then open the second and press paste
Export and then Import
Use Komponents (and export them as well)

Yeah sure, to create a formula based progress bar just do the following:
Set progress to "Custom", a new option will show called "Progress"
Select the option called "Level" and turn it into a formula
Use a formula that returns a value between 0 and 100 ($bi(level)$ for example)
Select the sections you need

Hi Frank,
I am creating an IOS style status bar and it is coming up nicely but i ran into a few issues. I am using a formula to set the visibility to ALWAYS or NEVER when bluetooth, airplane mode, wifi, carrier bars etc are turned on/off. It works perfectly for airplane mode, wifi, 3G/4G etc but there is a delay of say 5-10 seconds when i turn bluetooth and alarm on/off. Is there a way to speed up the refresh rate?

So for Alarm its not currently because android does not actually "broadcast" the change, i am working on a better approach on Android 5.x or better but i am not sure that will entirely fix this.
For bluetooth it will be fixed in next release (just forgot to register a listener for that)

Great! I look forward to next release. I forgot to mention that 3G/4G [ nc(dtypes) ] also takes a while although it is usually less than 5 seconds but delay is still there.
Question: Suppose we have 3 items like shape1, shape2 and shape3. They are horizontally or vertically displayed inside a stacked group. If i set the visibility of shape2 (middle one) to "NEVER" it disappears but it still takes that space and there is a big gap between shape1 and shape3. Is there a way to snap shape3 to shape1 so there will be no gape if the visibility of shape2 is set to NEVER? This is currently causing some design issues and i can't find a way to fix this.
Cheers.

You can turn off the splachscreen (select the check box in the menu)
English is a default language in my app
I look forward to any comments.
Russian localization is also available.
Search is easy to use. Just one or a few symbols (as you wish) need to be entered.
Tasks of the group "Done" can be returned to the "Current", and after that, can be edited.
Thus, you do not need to create a new task of the same type every time, such as "go to the gym." It can be returned from "Done" to the group "Current" and then you just need to edit the date and time.
Any plans to add a widget?
Soon
Setting priorities will help you to identify the most and the least important tasks.
Anyway, thanks for comment!
Thanks, but i don't understand, there is only title for a task? No details? Checkboxes?
