Its funny that I can't remember the last time I actually used uccw for my weather. I have become so used to making my skins overlap another weather widget. Ever since the full forecast element disappeared with 2.0. I figure it works out better this way since I paid for the weather app anyways.

The dream would be to get a weather service with full forecast and the system info, astrology and extra alignment options from the zooper widget all tied in with uccw. But I figure the amount of work vin would have to do to achieve that it would take a small developer team to implement. So dreams aside, take what the free app gives you, full customization. That's my one cent opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
Totally agree. Im not obsessed with the weather feature and just use web browser to check later days etc if needed. I only use weather in uccw for visual extras really.

I wasn't being *****y just saying that vin has explained the reason over and over again. I think the main issues are permissions and costs of implementing new weather APIs etc but I'm happy with today's and tomorrow's forecasts when I do use them. And let's be honest do they ever get the forecasts correct anyways lol.

Hello, I installed last version 2.5.2 from market. When I try to apply shortcut for hotspot, uccw app freezes...

Thank you for your work on this app Vin.
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
+1. This is my 'feature request' too. Don't know how easy or difficult it is to implement though.

This 'shortcuts as hotspots' update is sooo cool and significant that the app version could justifiably be bumped to 3.0.0, if you wanted. :good: Finally we have a app-drawer hotspot.... :angel:

One 'permission' issue I guess. Direct dial shortcut doesn't work from the hotspots. I checked that UCCW doesn't have 'make calls' permission. Will this permission be sought/added in future version?

And sometimes when I open a skin in uccw, the hotspots say 'no app assigned'. Still, if I just back out without saving and apply the skin to a widget, the hotspots launch the apps I had assigned earlier. Some flag issue maybe?

200% my point. At most I look at the 'Current temperature' when I leave work for the day and the cold hits me as I open the door. And the 'Icon - Current condition' for visual flare.

Now let's all nod at each other in "yes yes, me too" mode. :D

"Can't read labels" Values for Gmail.

As it says in the title I'm getting "Can't read labels" when trying to get the values for the number of items in my Gmail inbox.

- Yes I'm using a Gmail acc.

- Tried two different accounts.

- Tried Uninstall and reinstall

- Tried clearing cache from Gmail

- Restarted the Mail and Email apps

Values for missed calls and unread text messages are fine. Time, weather etc are fine too.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this or where UCCW pulls the values for Gmail from would be a great help.

Hi all!

I made a Google spreadsheet/Script to make a weather file for UCCW...

When u open the spreadsheet, please make a copy of it to your Goggle Drive...

Wait for the UCCW menu to appear..

Then choose the language code..

Choose the Translate menu option and wait for translation.

When translation is done you can edit the translations for your language (Google doesn't get it right all the time)

To get the file, choose 'Email UCCW file' in menu

Thanx to seco10 for the German translated file '224-Wetter-DE-RS' that I used to get all the conditions! :good:

LMAO. This is what we call "improvements to location detection". :D

You'll get better weather info. Several people were not getting proper weather updates before. So, Vin updated UCCW for better location detection. And weather channel choices. :good:

But widgets which use "Location" element, are kinda :eek: . Use Manual location for those for the time being.

This app is simply amazing, I've uninstalled quite a bunch of widgets thanks to Uccw, I only wish it had more system stats like available RAM, storage, etc. More days for the forecast would be nice, and maybe, just maybe, unread email counters for other email apps, but I suppose that will be coming with future releases. :rolleyes:

[Android Apps and Games] dmlangdon:
First, thanks for a great app - I love UCCW.

As X_RATed and various other folks have replied, the new update has the address inserted into the location. While I can see the use of this, it would be nice if we could still get city and state. Perhaps some of these options are possible :

1) full location address

2) city, state, country

3) address, city, state

4) city, state

5) city

6) state

Also, it would be great if you could add text wrap/multi-line mode to the formatting so that the location (and other fields) could be displayed on multiple lines.

Thanks for the great work and can't wait to see what comes next!

Hi Vin. Hotspot Bug report -

Looks like multiple "Launcher actions" (i.e. nova actions / Apex actions etc) don't work for hotspots on one skin. Example -

Say I have a skin with 5 hotspots. This is the order in which I assigned the hotspots.

Hotspot 1 - Jump to screen 1

Hotspot 2 - Jump to screen 2

Hotspot 3 - Jump to screen 3

Hotspot 4 - App Drawer

Hotspot 5 - Any 'shortcut' other than Launcher actions

In this case, hotspot 1,2,3,4 all will do same thing; in most cases, the last launcher action assigned to any hotspot. (i.e. all 4 will open app drawer); while hotspot 5 will work fine.

Note - Hotspot assigned still shows correct info for all. But when I turn hotspot mode on and go to the widget on homescreen, it behaves as mentioned above.

Second bug - "Jump to skin" doesn't get listed when selecting "Apex actions" from shortcut menu in uccw; even though they show up when I select apex actions by long pressing apex homescreen.

Very strange.......the afternoon update seems to have fixed some stuff. It started giving me the short form of the location instead of the full address. (still stuck on autolocation though)

[Android Apps and Games] akellar:

Issue #1 is now fixed. In one day. Where else do you see such a fast fix...? 3 cheers for Vin. :good:

Issue #2 - Vin's coming for ya...

I second that motion. 4 images is kinda low; 10 images would be great. If you have to decrease shapes to 10 from 20 (for less memory consumption etc), that's also fine. Yes? Yes? Yes. Thank you. :)

And since we are talking features - how about a fast scroller (i.e. the ability to drag the scrollbar) in the manager skins / import skins window. Got too many skins to be doing flick flick flick. :silly:

The manual location is still resetting to the value of auto location for me. What's more. Even if I change the manual location value to any other place in the world, I don't think it is sticking at all. The weather condition / current temperature values remain the same. i.e. same weather all over the world. :D i.e. even if you disable auto location and enter manual location value, UCCW is internally using auto-location for fetching weather data.

Tell-a-tale sign - set manual location, close uccw normally, force stop uccw, open uccw, 'auto location' is enabled again.

Vin, the mail I forwarded you today, I think that's related to this issue.

Quick question, can I bind alignments? For example, while teaching myself UCCW, I made a simple clock skin. 150pt. hours/minutes on one line, 37pt. day of week/day of month/month on the next. Real simple. And it looks good saying "Sunday 10 February". I have the alignments of each of these left/center/right. Now when it's Wednesday, surely the text will flow over the day of month (13). Can I bind their alignments so that if the size of one day changes, it will force the others over? "Monday 6 May" would obviously be set up differently than "Wednesday 25 September". How can I compensate for these changes in the widget?

Otherwise, awesome. Lots of options.

Missing wather icons after apk install

Hello,

I created an apk with 3 own skins (fonts, weather language file, weather icons (realll), etc). I put it in the assets folder (how described) and exported (signed with eclipse).

After installing it on a Nexus 4 (JB / 4.2.1) everything works fine, except it didn't show the weather icons :( .

Ok, I changed the path to the weather subfolder (and to all other files) in the *.uccw file. Because I use 3 skins with identical fonts and weather icons, so i have just 1 subfolder with neccesary files, images and fonts - anything shows correctly, except the weather...

Thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] sbs8331:
Me, too. My maximum temperature is a full 15 degrees F off. I've tried both weather services. When I use Yahoo and then pop to the Yahoo weather app, the difference is glaring. The attached shows the temperature and min/max from Beautiful Widgets at the top and from the UCCW "GS3-ish" skin (from Google Play) below it. I get the same results from a couple of other GS3-type skins that I've downloaded from here. I'll cease using UCCW until the weather accuracy issue has been corrected.

This is a great site, and the app is great as well. I look forward to using it when this is resolved.

[Android Apps and Games] sbs8331:
I'm not sure, but I think what may be happening is that the weather services are confused by the auto location. It will populate with street address, city, and country. In my case, the city I live in is in North Carolina, and it appears that the weather service is giving the conditions, temperature, and min/max from the city by the same name in Maryland. I've tried to follow the city with the state and/or zip code and/or Yahoo location number without success.

Unfortunately, the app is of little use to me without accurate weather, so for the time being I'll bid adieu to UCCW and go back to Beautiful Widgets.

Guys... I need a little help. I did some search on the thread but couldn't find anything about this.

I created a widget that receives a few variables from tasker that get updated everytime a song starts playing. The thing is the widget is not updated instantly. Sometimes it takes a couple of seconds, but most times it takes like 20/30 secs do update. I'm using Apex Launcher.

Is this a know issue and is there a way of forcing the update?

Thanks!! :)

[Android Apps and Games] Kookie_Monster:
That could work in any other situation (although I think the only manually updatable widget is the weather one, right?). The thing is the widget is showing the Artist, Track and Album from tasker. Makes no sense having to update it every time a new song is played.

Anyway... I was reading somewhere that it's possible to show this using minimalistic text also. I'm gonna give it a try and report back the results. Maybe this is something that can be fixed. Still... if anyone knows how to make it work... please share! :good:
