Yes, my friend, I understand your frustration. There are some reasons in the history. First uccw-versions used the google-weather-API. From this time we know conditions like "chance of...". And there were 36 conditions and icons used by uccw. As the google API was closed, the confusion began. Most icon-devs didn't notice, that the new yahoo-conditions were/are different to the old google conditions. And so you can find around a terrible mix out of old and new icon-sets. As I detected the yahoo-modified sets counts about 56...57 icons. Uccw needs only 6 icons, so i.e. you can match all variants of rain with one "rain.png".

My list was planned for my own use (and, you're right, as a starting point for others) and I made no "official" translation but some things you can read with a smile... To make the confusion complete I didn't erase some useless conditions out of the list, because there wasn't to find out a complete official yahoo-list, as you know.

The only way to live with the facts is to take it easy and to use the uccw-weather under an optical aspect on the homescreen. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] ElricE:
Interesting history... I didn't realise Google had closed their API.

As to the "Chances of..." conditions, I think you'll find they may well be back in. Yahoo seems to be using Weather Underground as a back-end weather service (see screenshot below) which introduces even more chance/chances of forecasts than were included in the Google API. Of course official confirmation would be nice (not going to hold my breath), but I can't think of another reason why Yahoo would specifically reference WU in their own weather app.

Pardon me, fellas. I was making some sweet widgets for a while. I havent for some time and now i have an idea but i can't get images to show in the editor on the recent version of uccw. I tried making them smaller, png, jpg. How small so they need to be? What could be my problem? I never ran into this so I'm at a loss.
[Android Apps and Games] jaydubbs:
I've found that I have to put the image in the folder for the skin I'm working on in the UCCW folder for the image to appear in the skin. Never used to be this way but something changed along the way.

Oh ok great thanks. I'll try it later. For now i found an old version that's working.
[Android Apps and Games] Quintasan:
Is it me or you can't have more than 4 images in UCCW widgets overall (in other words not 4 images per widget but 4 images for all widgets)? Is this intended or it's a bug?
[Android Apps and Games] seco10:
You can have 4 images per widget.
[Android Apps and Games] MissionImprobable:
Well, this is supposed to be the thread for reporting issues I thought so =p

One suggestion for next update: Battery level series. We can do round date series, hour, minute, and everything else but the only option for a circular battery is a bar. This would be a great addition.

Also, new version is still not working correctly. Widgets are adding as grey background or UCCW icon as before. Just a heads-up.

I've been using this for a few weeks now, but ever since the update to the latest version, the widget doesn't always update. I have the same widget displayed on 2 different screens.

UCCW update - Version 1.2.6

1.2.6

.........If update has problems do unsinstall and install of app.......

...

Its a maintenance release

...

1) general app performance improved at many places

2) hotspots improved - now no delay when opening hotspots; hotspots now have open alarm and update weather (found under uccw hotspots).

3) edit mode is back.

4) images behaviour improved; images now clearer.
[Android Apps and Games] cap'nC:

Now, in my opinion, your app is just perfect.

@vin

Few things I've noticed in this update, hotspots only work if edit mode off,hotspots for phone/contacts is not finding any handler so when I set my phone/contacts to open it gives error saying no app can handle this.

Using cm7 HTC wildfire. Worked perfect prior to update version. In the app options to choose for hotspots my phone app has 2 sets of handlers both called contacts,no phone,it was the same in previous version but choosing either worked. Cheers.

[Android Apps and Games] CMahaff:
I made an account just to post here. Ever since the hotspot update my UCCW hasn't been updating in Widgetlocker. Originally the update broke all my clocks, but after a re-install the ones on my homescreen at least worked. But I can't get the one in Widgetlocker to work at all. It worked just fine prior to the update. Now it only seems to update on certain events, like plugging it into the computer, which means my clock shows the last time it was plugged in or just the stock logo.

I've been waiting for a fix, but so far nothing has come out. If this isn't going to be fixed can anyone give me a download for the old version?

I'm sorry, but it's really bugging me.
[Android Apps and Games] pavankp:
This is a fantastic widget -- thanks so much! I had been holding off on using UCCW so far because I like to have next alarm time and location on my clock widget. Now I just set up a UCCW widget and finally got rid of Fancy Widgets. One little issue though: the location display gives me a really long string, like "San Francisco California,United States". Is it possible to get just the name of the city, perhaps through an option on the Location field? That would make this widget perfect for me.

Thanks again for a wonderful widget!

PS: If it matters, I am running an AOKP ROM on Droid RAZR MAXX.
[Android Apps and Games] LOBBS:
It's been awhile since I made anything but analog clocks. Is it possible to use images instead of fonts for numerals in a digital clock in UCCW? I seem to remember that it could be done before.
[Android Apps and Games] 10tacleBoy:
Yes it is. You can create an image for each count of hours and minutes. Name it like the image should be displayed in the widget (01.png, 02.png or for min 53.png, 54.png). Create one folder for you minute pics and one for your hours on your sd. In uccw you can choose these folders and your pics will be displayed for the number like you named it. It works with 12 or 24h.

SGS3 Weather Clock skin and UCCW

I've tried several of the SGS3ish skins, and now am trying to create my own (likely for my own use only) with some stylistic tweaks motivated by my OCD, but one thing bugs me more than anything else, and does so across every other skin I've tried as well - UCCW's reliance on two relatively lousy weather providers for it's weather reporting functions... so... any chance we'll see a version which uses AccuWeather? (I know I can't be the only one who's asked this but it really is an important and necessary change...

Except for that, I think UCCW is an awesome app, I'm thankful. :good:

[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
I know there's a lot going on about weather update problems, but mostly I see the weather icons NOT updating while the location DOES update. I have the exact opposite: UCCW seems to be unable to get a fix on my position, while a manually entered location does give me weather info. Google Maps doesn't have any issues getting a location fix.

LogCat: getting the following stuff when switching location from manual to automatic or vice versa (at this point, UCCW crashes):
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
If I compare the weather information presented by UCCW (manual location), with the OpenWeatherMap API results, they always differ significantly:

By API: broken clouds, temperature value="14.1" min="12.22" max="15.4" unit="celsius"

Presented by UCCW: rain, temp=13C, min=15C, max=19C

I say... what the hell?

EDIT: got the image to apply by first creating a blank widget then going in to edit it that way and selecting the exact size of the image i want to use!

I bet it is. Have you tried using any previous versions of the app. Sometimes when I would encounter any issue I would go with previous builds of uccw.

Help for APK

Hello guys, my widget is pretty simple, it's just an image with a hotlink on it. And i would like to provide a really easy way to share it amongs many devices.

i would like to know if someone can help me with understanding how to put a simple widget like this on the playstore as i didnt succeed to save it as an .apk

Also i don't get if people who then will download the APK files from the playstore first need to have the UCCW app installed on their device to see the widget? or if the Apk are autonomous...

I hope you guys can help me :highfive:

UCCW 3.0 beta

Hi. I am pleased to announce the availability of UCCW 3.0 beta. Please follow the link to become a tester.

Link

Please make a backup of your skins before using the beta version.

Changelog:

1. The app is thought out from the beginning.

2. The design is more modular now. Instead of an "hour" or "weather condition" object now there is a 'text object' that has source property. And it can be added multiple times in a widget.

2. The interface is easier to use.

3. Now there is only one copy of a skin. Earlier homescreen widgets had a different copy.

4. The options for apk skins are better.

5. Text mapping - Now custom text is replaced by text mapping. Its a very simple idea. For e.g. if the current value of sms source is '0', it can be mapped to 'no messages'.

6. Image mapping - same as text mapping but with images.

7. New objects - Barcode, Bar, Pie etc.

8. Improvements to Series objects - aka 'Text Series' object.

9. Google play free and paid skins improvements. I am still working on this.

Note: Skins saved with UCCW 3.0 are not compatible with older versions.
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
Thanks. I already see one big difference for the better: text items are 100% sharp/crisp, where in 2.x they would be a bit blurry on my Android 2.3.7 CM7 rom. :)

However, I still cannot get the weather to retrieve its data properly, either with autolocation or without. The location text item simply states '' (two single quotes). When trying to refresh the weather info via a hotspot, the only catlog entries that show up are:

I had success using UCCW on my old Nexus 7 that was running a custom rom on 4.2

I've since purchased a 2013 nexus 7 and am having a hard time using images as backgrounds or as items. I read/researched as much as I could about the image bug for kitkat. I have tried all available versions of the app (that are listed on the linked site) and have tried resizing the images. Still no luck. The images are not loading into the app at all--the canvas just stays a solid color. I thought it might be a rom issue so I tried it on my phone and on my pc via an emulator (bluestacks). Still no luck.

I searched for some guides but haven't found anything on using images. I am able to change the background colors so I'm hoping it is correctable user error.

I am only trying to use the widgets as icons to launch apps so nothing fancy.

Devices:

HTC one m7, rooted, sinless rom (4.4.4)

Nexus 7 2013, rooted, stock rom (4.4.2)--can't be updated because of kernel.

[Android Apps and Games] lildaddym:
I had the EXACT same issue with my Sony C6833 with 4.4.2. I tried a number of images, and none of them would work until the new version of UCCW came out. I still have issues with some images loading, and I know they are in the proper format, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] mzisman4:
Was there a specific version that ended up working? It's also doing the same thing on my phone which is 4.4.4 and the pc emulator so I'm not sure my trouble is linked to the version.
[Android Apps and Games] lildaddym:
The version I'm using is 2.9.27. What PC emulator do you use?
[Android Apps and Games] mzisman4:
Bluestacks.

I've got to be doing something wrong. There is no way this can be happening on all devices with no other people having issues.
[Android Apps and Games] mzisman4:
Found a work around. Previously, I could design a skin and once complete, place the widget and select the completed skin when prompted. Now, I have to place the widget, then when prompted to select the skin, I select new and proceed to create. All the issues with images are taken care of this way. Not sure why.

Any ideas how I now get rid of this 'Service required for updating widgets' notification?
[Android Apps and Games] ElricE:
Go into app settings and uncheck the "show notifications" setting for uccw. Personally though, I found the update such a shemozzle (screwed up my widgets) I rolled straight back to the last build
[Android Apps and Games] Bart Cunningham:
This latest update killed my widgets. The widgets now just display "UCCW Error!" The notification bar displays "Service required for updating widgets" which from what I understand can be turned off. I open UCCW and edit a widget to see everything change to "null". I edit one of the items and it is named "Tasker variable(n)" as it was but when I edit it it has forgotten the actual Tasker variable name. I proceed to open Tasker but Tasker states that I need to have UCCW installed for the feature to work. So apparently this is COMPLETELY broken. UCCW broke Tasker integration once before and I finally gave up waiting for them to fix it and they would never respond to my issue.

The only reason I use UCCW is for displaying data from Tasker. Anyone have any ideas or should I just assume that UCCW is once again garbage and go find a better replacement?

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] bland.life:
On CM11 if I long press the notification there will be an option to ignore this kind of notification.

Maybe there can be an option to set the service to be non-persistent (with some warning that the service might be killed and widget not updating)?

The last time I tried this method, the notification came back after a reboot.

I have to go check and uncheck the "show notifications" setting after every reboot.

Have you tried removing the current widget and reinsert it again?

Thats how I got my widgets to display again.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
There isn't that option in the new UCCW from what I can see...
[Android Apps and Games] bhitman:
Not in the settings of UCCW! Goto the (Android) settings-apps-all: UCCW...
[Android Apps and Games] Bart Cunningham:
Yes I did do that and the error display goes away and all of my display data is replaced with "null". The Tasker data is not available to UCCW and Tasker doesn't even think UCCW is installed.

Not sure why I wasn't using Zoom from the same company as Tasker in the first place! Bye Bye UCCW!!!
[Android Apps and Games] anjoz03:
So my widgets broke with the upgrade and I was not even able to add the widgets back as Google Now Launcher was not even recognizing the UCCW widgets, they were not in the widgets list! I'm assuming the notification is doing something weird.

Here is what worked for me. I removed the widgets from my home screen, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, went to app info, cleared all app data and cache, removed show notifications check. The widgets showed up in widgets listing in GNL, added the widgets and I was back in business!

I'm on S4 with Kangakat Google edition ROM - 4.4.4
