I got a Smartspace widget on my homescreen at it says Background Location Required. I have set location to always on and I can't find any other setting from the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Add the Google Maps widget to your home screen and follow the steps it shows. This is a Google Maps bug, not Smartspacer.
[Android Apps and Games] miimaa:
Cool! Now it works.

Thank you very much for your great app!

Hey Quinn love the app. I don't know if you take requests from here but I would really love to have the option to make the text dark/black is so frustrating using a light wallpapers with it still being white. Can't see a thing
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
If you're using the widget, the option is already in the settings. If you're using Native Smartspace, it's controlled by the wallpaper already and is out of my control.

This update causes Smartspacer to crash and permissions to need re-enabling every time I try to scroll to my Weather Forecast target. It's really weird. Nothing like this has ever happened. I'm using Nova Launcher's latest version on the Pixel 8 Pro.

Any suggestions??

Any chance the widget width can be updated to allow a 5x1? I can resize the height to a 4x2, but it won't let me make it wider.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
It's already set to allow that. If your launcher isn't allowing it, the launcher is bugged.

Smartspacer requires Android 10.
[Android Apps and Games] Howlett85:
My device doesn't support at a glance is there an alternative or a work around
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
For At a Glance (Smartspace), you'd have to flash a Pixel firmware based ROM like Pixel Experience or PixelOS. For At a Glance (Widget), you just need to have the Google app installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Howlett85:
Would not be worth it if I did alter the rom it'd be cyanogen or lineage some like one of those or even going back to Android 10 because 12 is 9 and 3 idiots to change the quick settings on 12 🤦
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Smartspace was only added in Android 12, so you won't get support at all on anything below that. You should probably just use the Widget.
[Android Apps and Games] Howlett85:
Yea we're going places you definitely could afford to miss

Step livly

Embaks on, no where fast

Now that's the chase I'm cutting to
[Android Apps and Games] Howlett85:
Yea I actually just found it and was looking for modules because you don't really have to have adb any more like write in you can send it remotely wirelessly and if you want ed to just use terminal and plug 2 phones tothghrt and use the one just have Windows on it and you can make adb over ota and an app just flash you somewhere I don't think my device is support ed but I have seen tow boot being used and windows mobile builds I chaulk alot up to how's he hanging today

Lets try it and some stuff works that you never find some Walk through for and it's probably jankingly better that way

Love this program. Thanks for developing it. Pixel Fold user. I created a tasker profile that lets me use smart launcher when closed and pixel stock when open. Because of this, my smartspacer is configured to use "at a glance" widget when closed (smart launcher) and stock "at a glance" when open or locked. My question is will there ever be a way to change font and color of font within the complications or targets? This would be icing on the cake.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Only the Targets & Complications themselves can change font colour, since the system has to have priority for the regular font colour so it can adapt to the wallpaper. It's already possible in the Tasker plugin to set the font colour for its Targets & Complications.

Long shot here, I’m using red magic os 8 but can’t seem to get access to notifications permission nor plugins to work. Any work around to make the app work with this app? Shizuku is already on but doesn’t change anything. It work amazing on my s21 fe though

[Android Apps and Games] cesar_9046:
For me, Weather on the Complication is different then Google Weather App! Any help?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
If it's significantly wrong, you probably need to switch native Smartspace off and back on again. If it's only minorly wrong, that's normal - it doesn't update as often.
[Android Apps and Games] cesar_9046:
Thanks, this fixed it!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Matzgitz:
Hi, nice widget. works fine except the notification access. the screenshot says:

For security reasons, this setting is currently unavailable.

Any Idea? reinstall and things like that dont work. its the only app with this issue.

[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
You can either write a plugin using widget mapping, or if the app has an API, a Tasker based setup may also be possible.

Hello. Loving the app so far. Im trying so hard to figure out how to use tasker plugin with a complication or target but im failing. I create the target and set up event in tasker, but it shows nothing. What am i doing wrong
[Android Apps and Games] alphalog:
I went back to 1.6 because my screen keeps turning off and on again as soon as I listen to offline music (m4a/alac). Tunein, for example, doesn't cause any problems. It's not because of lsposed and viperfx either. both deactivated on a trial basis.

Edit: Does not necessarily have to be due to smartspacer. I use a custom rom (Matrixx ROM with update from January).

[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
The three dots are always there on the widget to allow actions on the Target. It's intentional. I misread your original post, you can only hide the arrows that way.

It's not working. Google maps traffic is showing first but it's in lowest order of complication.

Everything above it is dynamic and only shows when required. What are you expecting to see before it?
[Android Apps and Games] rohanhole:
I want to see weather and steps , always first. Check my complication too. For this configuration , it's showing 1) Traffic 2) Weather + Steps 3) unread msgs + missed calls
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
It's working fine. Google Maps is the first Target with content to show on your list.

If you want there to be always be the date first, add a date target to the top.
[Android Apps and Games] rohanhole:
Th

Thank you very much. Worked. Little bit confusing but got the idea.

So I assume display order will be :

1) First it will show all applicable Targets ( with valid content) according to list priority.

2) After this , it will show all applicable Complications ( with valid content) according to priority.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
It shows Targets & Complications in order, fitting the Complications in any available space. If any Complications are left over, they're shown after the Targets.

[Android Apps and Games] 1991-W201:
Total "WIDGET" noob here… hoping for some help with a project involving CarWebGuru and a custom theme I’d like to complete. Here’s what I’d like to do:

In the photo attached, I’d like to display a live Google map in the red circle on the RIGHT, and the name of the street I’m currently on in the red box on the TOP.

Can SmartSpacer handle these via widgets? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Or, is there another way to go about this?

The red box UNDER the car image will display the current track name via a CarWebGuru widget, so I’ve got that handled. And, the circle on the LEFT is already a CarWebGuru “multi-widget” that can display album art, GPS speed, etc.

I’m interested in learning more about SmartSpacer and its capabilities, and I truly appreciate any insight or suggestions!

Thanks in advance, Ron

(I should also mention that CarWebGuru is installed in my Atoto S8 Gen 2 Android head unit [FYT] running Android 10.)
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
No, Smartspacer would not be able to do that. You'd struggle to get that in a widget due to the frequency of updates required - it's not impossible, but it would need something pretty custom.
[Android Apps and Games] 1991-W201:
Thanks for the reply, @Quinny899. I appreciate the feedback. So, even though Google Maps, Waze, etc. may be running and getting that kind of data, a simple widget asking for a street name would be tough? As I said, I'm new to this, so please excuse my ignorance.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Widgets run within the launcher (or whatever is hosting it), they need refreshing to update. So for a map, it would need constant updating, which is not the best for performance or power usage. Google Maps & Waze also don't actually expose this information, so any app which did this would need to render its own map, with its own location listener and street name lookup. Like I said, it would need to be completely custom.
[Android Apps and Games] 1991-W201:
Gotcha... I think! LOL! I'm not concerned about power usage, since it'll be operating on a head unit, which is obviously vehicle-powered. And, performance-wise, it's an Atoto S8 Gen 2, 3GB/32GB, with a UNISOC 7862 ARM Cortex Octa-Core processor, ARM Mali-G52 MP2 GPU, AICE UI 11.0 (Atoto's deep customization based on Android Q 10.0), etc. so I'm sure it would handle it.

@1991-W201

Hi! Loving the widget - THANK YOU! Donating now. Question - I am able to swipe pages on my lock screen, but not from the home screen widget.

Is this because it's truly a smart widget and not the baked in At a Glance application? Requesting this feature of there isn't a current way to do this. Or, at the very least, if there was an easier way to toggle between pages other than the small dots or arrows, like a bar you slide perhaps. If it can work like it does from the lock screen that would be amazing. Pixel 8 Pro. Nova Premium Beta.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Widgets cannot be swiped, so it's not possible without Native Smartspace or using the SDK. Nova does not support those.
[Android Apps and Games] jmoore2284:
Guessing you cannot remove the double showing of the date when you enable enhanced mode? As previously stated, I love the ability to swipe pages from the lock screen and wish this could be baked into the home screen as well. That said, it seems without root you're stuck with the Android (Pixel) baked in items on lock screen?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
You can prevent the "double date" simply by adding any other Target that will show in its place. If you don't fancy any of them, add a blank one.
[Android Apps and Games] sh0nuff:
If I were you I'd look into Total Launcher. It'll let you do everything you want, but it won't hold your hand either. Very good community support via Telegram.
[Android Apps and Games] sh0nuff:
Is there any way to change the padding and formatting / justification on the widgets when using the side panel swipe in? (I am not sure if this is just a Nova Launcher feature or also supported in the stock launcher)

I figured out how to adjust the width by long pressing (although it doesn't seem to work for every widget I have in my stack), but even with the width at zero, there's still a lot of padding between each one.
[Android Apps and Games] 1991-W201:
Thank you for replying. I’ve actually abandoned this course of action and wrote a small, very lite Android app that I’m currently testing.

So far, it does what I want and I don’t have to switch launchers… thankfully. I have too much time and effort invested in @carwebguru.

I really appreciate you getting back to me, though. 👍🏻

I've just updated to 1.7 and now my weather forecast (the next 4 hours) target is not showing in any smartspacer location, despite me having it enabled for all locations. The complication is working fine, however. Any idea?

[Android Apps and Games] BananasGoMoo:
Thanks! Looking forward to it. Any idea on an ETA?

[Android Apps and Games] sh0nuff:
Oh, I totally get that, but I'm surprised you can deal with having your phone's launcher be a car layout when you're NOT driving ;)

You could always look at using Tasker so that the CarwebGuru launcher runs automatically when you're connected to the Android head unit (wired identification via cert or mac address, wirless via headunit wifi or BT), and then swap back to stock or another 3rd party app when not connected (unless the CarWebGuru app already switches off in some way already - I'll admit I am not familiar with it, as I use Android Auto)
[Android Apps and Games] 1991-W201:
Oh, no… this is all on my head unit. Not on my phone at all.

Here’s a draft of the layout. The “current street name” app I wrote will be a placeable widget under the vehicle graphic. It’s not finished yet, but I hope you get the gist. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is it possible to add vertical padding in the next version to give more flexibility in vertical mode with only one row. This way a row is usually cropped.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
If a row is being cropped then it does not have sufficient space, you need to expand the widget. Vertical padding won't be added as it currently has to maximise the space it's given, if you absolutely need it then it should be supported by your launcher.

When I play music from Spotify it didn't show on smartspacer it only shows when I use a music player for mp3 files
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
The music state listener comes from the system, Spotify has been known to be buggy recently so it's likely that to blame rather than Smartspacer
[Android Apps and Games] reaganh:
Ok thanks for your work I love the app
[Android Apps and Games] Cataclisma:
I installed the app 1.7.1 on my Pixel 8 Pro yesterday and noticed, that at a glance will stop updating after a certain (relativ short) time. I noticed this, because I still use the native one on my lockscreen.

The most I noticed this, because the current weather data stays always the same. The native one tells me, it is 14⁰C outside and the smartspacer one is still at 8⁰C. Also, this Morning it told me the weather forecast for "tomorrow" from yesterday evening, while the native one told me the forecast for today.

I have to force stop the application to update the at a glance widget.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I'm using it with shizuku on Nova Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
It's a known thing that happens sometimes. Smartspacer does its best to notify you when it happens but it's not perfect. The fix is to disable & re-enable Native Smartspace.
[Android Apps and Games] Cataclisma:
I have Native Smartspace disabled. I only use the widget on my nova Launcher.

Now the widget stopped updating at all.

Is there a possibility to send you a log file within the app?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
There's no logging for this kind of thing - if there were a way to log it, it'd already be showing a message to reconnect.

The only alternative if you're not using Native Smartspace is to force stop and re-launch the app unfortunately.

The cause of this issue most of the time is either Smartspacer being killed by the system or Android System Intelligence being killed or crashing. If you've disabled battery optimisation for Smartspacer, there's nothing else I can suggest unfortunately. The behaviour of ASI is beyond my control.
[Android Apps and Games] Cataclisma:
Thanks for your help!

So I try using Native Smartspace and see if it helps. If this will fix it, I eill let it enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] reaganh:

If you're after the date always being the first page, add a Date Target to the top of the list.
[Android Apps and Games] vasilis_:

How can I rearrange the order of appearance?

Thanks I. Advance
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Adding the Date Target first will do what you want. At a Glance is not the date, so if you always want the date to show the date on the first page, this is the correct way.
