[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madskillet:
same thing but worse

I have my thunderbolt rooted but I don't have any rom's loaded. The update downloaded, but is now stuck in a off/on endless loop :mad:

anyway to stop it from trying to update? that way I could at least get my stuff backed up in titanium and wipe/load a rom?

It reboots to clockwork then says...

Finding update package....

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I reboot system then it just starts all over again :mad:

There are countless posts/threads around here warning not to try to update a rooted phone with stock/OTA files.:rolleyes:

Get a SD card reader/adapter, pull your microSD card out of the phone, and delete the PG05IMG.zip from it using your PC.

SmartWidget is a shortcut to your favorite applications!

After you add the widget to your home screen, it will start monitoring the applications use. The most frequent ones will appear on the widget.

A unique feature SmartWidget has is the ability to show shortcuts only for applications you don't have on your home screen already.

This way, you get new shortcuts you need on your home screen which are updated as you find a new cool app!

I9000

Does it work on I9000, it say still learning, how many hits does the app need before your widget picks it up?

I am on Continnum rom with Talon 0.4.2.

Hope it works looks like a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Hi,

Yes, it does but you'll need to turn on your device logcat in the recovery.

I don't have the device myself so I can't direct you with the menus.

It should work after that.

Let me know if it works...

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ASD007:
Force closes and drains the battery badly!
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Can you report the force close in the app? or send me your logcat?

It shouldn't drain battery since it only logs when you open an app.

I'd be happy to improve it.
[Android Apps and Games] coolfire:
Looks promising, may try this out soon! :)
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Thanks.

I will be happy to hear feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] blakrepublic:
Sounds cool do I need to use apps before this work? I long pressed on my lock screen nothing happened?
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Yes, you need to use the apps before it can show any shortcuts.
[Android Apps and Games] blakrepublic:
Still doesn't work unless I'm doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Do you have a Samsung Galaxy S?

I understood that the device log is not on by default in those devices and the app needs it for monitoring the applications.

Try check your recovery if you have an option to turn on the device log or logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] blakrepublic:
No I have an HTC evo
[Android Apps and Games] blakrepublic:
Walk me through the steps for set up?
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
I think the problem is that some kernels disables the logcat of the device.

Please download aLogcat from the market and install it.

Try to just open it and check if you see any log text.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Radimus:
Is there a way to set the size of the widget?

I'm running on a Dell Streak with 5 columns and it looks smaller than 4. The 2 widgets above it are also 4x1, and this one is smaller than the others
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Currently there are only 4 columns.

I will add more sizes in future versions.
[Android Apps and Games] blakrepublic:
Tons of log text
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
In the preferences of aLogcat, there is an option to switch to the events buffer.

Please check that as well..

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] blakrepublic:
Also pages of it in green
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Can you send me one of those pages?

You can share via e-mail directly from aLogcat to rmdroider@gmail.com .

[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
I've always wondered about apps that let you sort by "most used".

Do they use a running count done by the app or is there some way the system has a log of this info, or whatever the dev decides??
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
You need to keep some type of count, yes.

I couldn't find anything like this in the system.
[Android Apps and Games] blakrepublic:
Am I the only one having issues with this?
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
I got more reports about issues from other users.

It seems like some devices act differently, I'm working on it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] bbilko:
Works good on my Sensation running Go Launcher, I would love the option to exclude certain apps from the widget.

oh and +1 for the 5 icon wide option
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
excluding apps will come soon.

different sizes will come too but a little later. :)
[Android Apps and Games] zoro25:
Trying to download with GalaxyS2 however market states that the app is not compatible?
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Weird, I opened it to all devices. Even my Market console says it's available for S2.

Did you try on the device or in the web market?
[Android Apps and Games] Tankmetal:
Nice app. one problem though. I use folder organizer to launch applications but Smart widget dose not record the app being launched. it only records that i have used folder organizer to launch.
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGNYC:
This worked OK on my EVO with gingerbread-evo-deck 1.2.1. It displayed both F.O. and the app I launched.
[Android Apps and Games] Tankmetal:
I am on a Samsung captivate running continnum v6 rc1 rom with xcal's i9000 kernel. Would this problem lie in the rom or the kernel?

I will keep using smart widget to see if there is a difference between kernels. I plan to stay with continnum.

Prevents screen from sleeping

It seems to prevent my screen from shutting off, and it also doesn't show my google apps like maps or gmail. I'll still use it, I just have to remember to shut off my screen manually.
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Looks really great so far, can you add the option to make the background transparent? Thanks :D
[Android Apps and Games] mantorp:
Also if I reboot it remains blank until i remove and put it back again.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
From reports so far, it seems that Samsung Galaxy S log is not on by default, so you'll have to enable it in the recovery.

Let me know how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
The bug with google apps will be fixed in the upcoming version.

Weird behavior on the screen,.. no one reported a similar problem.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
I'm working on several types of themes, it will take a few versions. :)
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
will be fixed in the upcoming version.

The problem is that it tries to update before the SD card is ready..

in the mean time you can just go into SmartWidget settings and then go back, instead of removing and putting again.
[Android Apps and Games] countblack:
Nice app, i like the idea. I am with avgjoemomma would it be possible to have a transparent background?

I have a DHD running with CM7.1rc1, it seems to be missing some applications (Google+) and also not displaying the highest counted apps correctly. Is this a problem for anyone else or just me?

EDIT: I have just cleared the stats down to see if that would fix the problem, Google+ does not seem to be being picked up.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Currently there is bug of not showing google apps, it will be fixed soon.
[Android Apps and Games] countblack:
Just downloaded the update, Google+ is now showing properly. With regards my other issues it was just a case of RTFM; I hadn't realised that shortcuts on homescreens other than the main one would also be ignored, once i removed them from the homescreens they showed up properly.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
great, thanks for the update.
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
This is a fantastic app and I want to say a big thank-you for it. It works perfectly on the HD2 running 2.1.

I find the option to "exclude apps already on main screen" greyed out, but once that is sorted I think this will find a full-time home on my screen :)

Congratulations!
[Android Apps and Games] omar.abbas:
REQUEST

can you please make it 1X1 and clickable? so like when i click on it, the most used apps pop out or something? just so that i can have this awesome widget without taking much of my screen space? watchya'll say? :)
[Android Apps and Games] ChitownWingMan:
I am running on an HTC HD2 with Android running from SD (see my tag line for the version).

i am using GO Launcher EX.

I am also experiencing the grayed out "exclude apps already on main screen".

Nice app, keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] Radimus:
also, if you could work on the size of the widget. The 4x1 doesn't really look like 4x1. It is margined in quite a bit. it is smaller than all the other 4x1 widgets on the screen.

I know that you are going to be working on "look and feel" issues once you get the function where it needs to be (I'd do it that way myself).

1) make it work

2) make it pretty

3) provide options

I think that the spacing between items should provide 1 icon more than the columns

Some have asked for a 1x1 that would do a popup like "Folder Organizer"

Some would like 5x1 for larger screen devices

Some might even want 4x2 (but that seems excessive)

Suggest some amount of background transparency (I usually do about 50%, but others do 90 or 100)

Filters for apps to exclude from showing (by name or wildcard)

There may even be a request to "lock" an app in the list (I know it doesn't make sense, but someone will want it)

Clear stats/list

backup configuration (seems overkill, but...)
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions.

Indeed, now I'm trying to fix bugs for some specific devices. Kinda hard without the devices here but I'm trying..

after it I want to add the filtering options (excluding apps, etc.).

and then I will work on the design.

Thanks for the interest.
[Android Apps and Games] m.klinge:
Working great - however it doesn't seem to show the icon of endomondo pro - it does show the label however :/

//M
[Android Apps and Games] darkstar09:
Could possibly add in an ignore list? Apps I use frequently such as powerAmp, Dolphin Broswer I have either widgets for already or the are on the launcher bar. Seems kinda pointless to have them show up on my homescreen twice.

Other than that, it seems to be working flawlessly, brilliant work.

Cheers

Edit: Just read the rest of the thread and it appears you're already working on it!
[Android Apps and Games] geo.samuel:
Good work!! Nice Concept

First of all congratulations for a beautiful concept!! The app seems promising!! Though there are few things which needs to be ironed out, which you are already working on!!

Thanks for the app dawg!!

Keep it comming!!:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Thanks. :)

Yes, I'm working on the ignore list..

SmartWidget 0.03

An updated version is in the market.

Fixed some bugs and added an option to exclude apps from the widget.

Waiting for your feedback. :)
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Loving the new update, the transparent setting works great! :D
[Android Apps and Games] mantorp:
Hmm, mine won't stop showing the black background.

I selected none...
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
I had the same problem. I had to change the colour to white, save settings, then change it back to black (keeping the transparent option)
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Try selecting a transparent background color, it should be ok after that.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Great, thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] mantorp:
That did it. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] cthonctic:
Please put in the Market description that the app needs logcat to work. Up until now I simply assumed LauncherPro wasn't supported (when in fact my kernel has logcat disabled by default).
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Good idea, thanks.

By the way, in the next version there will be support for home screen shortcuts detection with LauncherPro.
[Android Apps and Games] Aganar:
Great little app. I'm running into an issue though. If the "Settings" app shows up in the SmartWidget (if perhaps I'm using it alot that day), clicking on it from the smart bar does nothing. I'm on Gingerbread, if that makes any difference.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
I sent you a pm.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Widget is 2x3 instead of 4x1?

Instead of example pic from android market which shows a 4x1 widget I'm getting a 2x3 widget by default which takes up alot of space. Identical results on the two different ICS roms (on two different phones).
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
On ICS you are getting a resizable widget, so you can set it to any size you want.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
That may be so but it won't shrink smaller that 2 rows...I could make it 4x2 but that's not what I want on a 4x4 homepage.

For the op..the launcher in use is Nova Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
I am testing this out and will let you know what I think.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
You're right. Weird, I haven't noticed it.

Anyway, I fixed it and I'll release an update soon to the market.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Great response time

Fix works fine. It listed Nova Launcher, Phone and Settings as choices which I had to exclude...not sure whether those shouldnt be auto excluded by default.....also you may want to consider in your exclude logic an option to exclude apps show by other smartwidgets...ie if I have one on homepage and another on "apps" page do I really want to see the SAME apps in both places? Maybe I do...maybe I don't.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to my to-do list.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
ES File Explorer not excluded even though it's on homepage.

Thought you might want to see this minor quirk...for whatever reason ES File Explorer doesn't get excluded even though it's listed right below on the same homepage....the 3rd row is a 4x1 smartwidget with some individual icons below. I point it out because there may be other programs that do whatever es file explorer does different.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Try running ES File Explorer from the home screen shortcut and then updating smartwidget (by going into the settings and click "save settings").

SmartWidget detects if an app has a shortcut only when it is used, so maybe it's not updated yet?
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I use the shortcut regularly but I clicked on it again then went into smartwidget and clicked save...it still appears. Other programs are not being duplicated so appears to be that one specifically.

It really doesn't bother me...I just submitted as a glitch. If you install the app you should get identical behavior as it did it on both of my phones.
[Android Apps and Games] Royes:
Great app. Love it on my phone. Works on my Galaxy 10.1 but icons are a bit small. Any plans to make a more tablet friendly version?
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Thanks for the info, but I don't get this bug on my phones..
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Yeah, sure.

Can you e-mail me a screenshot of your screen so I can see how it looks now?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] lichongwei:
Widget apps...a must-have apps...thanks for sharing..:):):):)
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I recently purchased a HP Touchpad and installed ICS on it....I tried smartwidget on it and all appeared to work normal. A couple of days ago I installed Go Launcher HD which is a tablet optimized version of Go Launcher EX and I've noticed that apps ran from the launcher don't appear to be getting updated in the counts for smartwidget....I ran a few new apps and they still don't have entries for example.

I'm attaching a screenshot which shows what smartwidget is displaying. You'll note es file explorer once again shows in both smartwidget and in the launcher as it did on two other phones I previously mentioned although this iteration could be due to an issue with the launcher itself. I've ran enough things by now that at a minimum smartwidget should have filled the black area being displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
There is a bug in the current version of SmartWidget where the background service doesn't automatically start in ICS devices. So apps don't always register unless you go smartwidget settings manually (which starts the service).

It will be fixed soon in the market.

About GO Launcher - SmartWidget can't detect home screen shortcuts with GO Launcher. It's not an open source launcher so I don't know how to read its shortcuts info.. sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Would that also hold true for Nova and Apex Launcher which are both based on the original ICS Launcher? If so it would explain why shortcuts were not recognized on the two phones.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
I went over both launchers.

I can support Apex Launcher and I will add it to the next version.

With Nova, I couldn't access its shortcuts settings due to some permission that the developer put there.

I will try to contact him.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I went into settings on smartwidget manually to make sure the service was running on ics....I've got a screen full of apps displayed with counts but on the homepage only 4 icons are still being displayed even though many more show up in settings. (the same 4 from previous screenshot still display...they didn't change even though it looks like other apps have higher counts in some cases. Screenshot attached.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
Oh, only 4 are showing because that's the standard widget size.

For more than 4 shortcuts please purchase the premium features from the settings.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:
The developer of Nova Launcher answered me and he will add the required permission in the next version of Nova Launcher, so I will be able to support it.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I figured the 4x1 was the issue at first but again I noted that I had entries that had higher "counts" then others, were not excluded and didn't show up in the 4 icons being displayed.

In any case was for your benefit i reported it. Go Launcher HD has a pulldown that shows popular apps..you can also sort the app tray by most used so they act as fine workarounds.

They're super fast at the moment. I sent a desire (required a new motherboard and lcd) on Thursday last week and got it back Tuesday.
