Hi all
I'm new to this forum so I'm still getting used to this. I'm currently having issues with the MAGI Home UI, the widgets and some icons. I know this theme is really old and built for a previous version of Android, but I'll try to get all the questions I have out of the way. I'm not sure if there's still anyone active with this project since the theme is around 8 years old.
1. The MAGI "UI show screen list" animation plays, with the rotating screens. However, when I tap one of the screens, the animation continues playing in the background despite the screen already set into place.

2. Some of the issues for the widgets are that it is blank. This happens for the news widget, the user phone number widget, and the weather widget. For the weather widget, I think you have to download some kind of app, as tapping it takes me to the Play Store, but it's just stuck on a loading screen. If anyone knows, please tell me what app I have to download for the weather widget to function.

i was looking at the continuum on verizon and i thought "what's with the awkward location of the soft keys between the two screens" and "why have 2 in the first place." but the idea of a ticker was nice. i also didnt think it was versatile enough. and thought if that was a spot for another 1x4 standard android widget and could scroll through several widgets that you choose it would be better but then why not do it on one screen and put it on the market.
so i had the idea of either a 1x4 widget that actually holds other widgets and/or links and scrolls through them every 5 seconds or so, you could have all your favorite widgets on one screen inside a dock.
or why not a home launcher with a with a dockbar can not only hold a 1/1 icon links/shortcuts but could also hold widgets up to 1x4. add in the ticker widget and then you would always have it on screen, not just on one home screen.
i realize a ticker wouldn't be for everyone, it could get quite annoying but i think i would like to see the option available. a dock bar that holds a widget might get some downloads i think
does anyone else have any thoughts? good idea/bad idea? anyone who can make this sort of thing happen interested? my brother could do it but he wont speak to me anymore.
i know some of the launchers out there can do a lot and this sort of thing may already be possible but take some know how. i mean i saw an lcars theme for a launcher that went against everything i know about the android gui. but i have no idea how to do that sort of thing.
I'm just wondering if anyone has similar problem as me. I got a weather widget that disappears. It's still taking up space but is invisible. How do I know this you say? Well when you hold your finger over an empty space, it pops up the app screen in which it allows you to place shutcuts and widgets or set wallpaper. But if you place your finger on a location with an icon or widget you are able to move it.
The invisible widget area won't do anything but a reboot usually makes it reappear. I've even force close the app of the widget and still does nothing.
The widget I'm having problem with is weatherbug widget. I don't like the how the stock widget is taking so much space. And I don't need duplicate information on my screen. I just want an accurate weather and some other weather information. I don't need the city and date and time...I have time on the bottom right corner already and calendar widget shows date already. Why does weather widgets want to show you unnecessary information? And a lot of them aren't accurate. But this weatherbug is OK app, I usually do not like weatherbug on PCs but the android app is not annoying.
I had that with CNN widget, it's only happened twice, but still a bit weird
They're called zombie widgets, and you can clean them up using an app called elixir.
same thing happened to me with the youtube widget, but only once so far.
Like myself, i guess many users have a nice launcher startpage with clock and calendar info. And a nice lockscreen is just overflow and disturbing.
So i suggest a lockscreen that shows the nice launcher page as background (maybe custom transparency), only differense is that it shows a slider instead of the dock. (kind of like spb 3d shell on windows mobile)
Try using widget locker.

very nice..I love the lockscreen.
I have already tried Widget locker. But it shows a separate lockscreen. That's not what i'm after.
I mean a lock that appears on top of the launcher screen.
I guess it would be quite light not bloaty.
*Maybe show some animation of a lock (so you see it's lockscreen), and
*dimmed down launcher screen, and
*a full brightness undimmed sliding or button- unlocker at the bottom, temporarily replacing the ordinary launcher buttons.
Found the App Hidden lock. It's a nice start, but not visualy appealing, not showing it's locked unless pressing screen, etc.
Good day!
In currently owned my new HTC Sensation, and so far I love it. Im just want to make clarification for the certain if they are glitch or not.
Note: Im using stock rom and not yet updated
Wallpaper - Weather
-When I select weather wallpaper, my home screen wallpaper has an animated weather on it. However, when I opened a certain application and go back to the home screen, the animation to the weather is stopped. It will continue to move after I locked and system and unlock it.
Widget- Weather (clock)
- The "Current location" on weather is inaccurate and missing my spot from where I am currently. Also the animation of weather in clock does not animate.
EDIT: i remedied my problem by installing Slideshow Wallpaper app. A freshly updated app that i was not aware of when i initially searched for an app like this. If anyone is looking for a great, simple, app that will change your wallpaper at a set interval, then look into this app.
i use "Custom Wallpaper Slideshow" app. It is a good app except for one dilemma, and that is the scrollable wallpaper option DOES work, but if the image size isn't an exact specific size, only the bottom half appears at the top half of your screen. It remains scrollable, you just don't see the whole image. i fixed this by, as i mentioned, resizing all my images.
A weird problem occured after deleting a bunch of apps. None in which should have anything to do with wallpapers, home screen, or sense in general except "Most Recent Apps" widget. Even still, i don't see how this would effect my wallpapers not scrolling anymore.
i also reverted back to not using CWS and just regular images that i know are scrollable. (i use ViperS Rom and its default wallpaper that comes shipped is scrollable). However, none of these were scrollable anymore. i found it weird that these were not scrollable, but CWS (though not working correctly) still are.
i tried different sizes but either have not found the right NEW size, or it just isn't possible to remedy the CWS bug.
i have tried restarting. Trying different settings. Apex is set to scrollable. i still can't figure out what happened.
Does anyone have an idea, or perhaps could recommend an app other than CWS that does the same thing (changes wallpaper at set intervals) unlike the default HTC one that can only be changed every time the screen is turned on or whatever.
