galaxy s io - not working

I have Samsung galaxy s ii (Android 2.3.6) with TW4 but I am using Go launcher EX. I wanted widgets from TW4 and I copy App like is instructed. And grouping works but I do not have widgets from TW4. Possibly I made mistake or this app does not support my system/launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] Nirak:
This app should support your launcher, but samsungTW widgets only work on TW launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
Many thanks. Sadly I could only click the thanks button once on the OP.

Confirmed working with no need to restart in Motorola Electrify running 2.3.5 (so that should be a confirm for the Photon 4G as well).

hi

I have owains ics with Apex launcher and could manage the stock LG Froyo weather app to work,

the problem lies in the widgets, the only widget that works is 2x2, the 4x3 and 4x4 does not work, it tells me "error loading widget", what can I do?

Sorry for my english.

Thx

So why this isn't in CM9? Is there some reason?

After a search I saw that it was merged into CM6.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I think it's the difference between GB and ICS, but I could be wrong.

Sent from a state of Serendipity
[Android Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
It is possible though. I am using another ICS rom that has this incorporated.
[Android Apps and Games] TotalD3str4ct:
AppWidgetPicker2 works on ICS. I use it with the current CM9 nightly. My question was, that why it's not included by default (considering the fact, that apparently it was added to CM6, so not that the CM devs don't know about the existence of AppWidgetpicker)
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Hi,

the reason why they didn't merge it is that with ICS you pick the widget from within the launcher and so the widget picker is a part of the launcher. So even if they merge it, it would only take effect on "old" launchers like ADW and not on those new ICS launchers.
[Android Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
It works with Nova on AOKP
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
Please, It's possible version 2 with gingerbread appearance?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
I guess those launchers have a popup menu to select the widget? If you use Trebuchet (default CM9 launcher) it displays the widget within the drawer and my app would have no effect on this.

Do you want to use version 2 on gingerbread or a gingerbread looking version on ICS?
[Android Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
Yes - there is a pop up. People are using CM9? Jk jk. AOKP fanboy here. I love CM though. I just got hooked on some of the mods AOKP implemented.

thanks for help
[Android Apps and Games] sharlatan:
I know that widgets do not work well from SD, but what I'm referring to is that the widget would still show up in the add→widget list originally, but now it does not appear at all. This means that if I install apps straight to the SD card, I may not know that the app comes with a widget since it's no longer on the list.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroBarrier:
You obviously didn't understand me, since you obviously don't understand how Apps2SD works.

Apps with widgets will not even appear in your widget list if they are installed/moved onto your SD; no if's, and's or but's about it.

Feel free to test it out by having an app with a widget installed/moved into internal memory, you'll see it in your list; then install/move it to SD, reboot, and now you won't find it anywhere on your list (until you move it back to internal memory and reboot).

Great ,froyo style, thanx!!

Why didn´t you make the text bigger?-would be nice too!
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
worked with adb install?? Have you tried to add a widget? guess you will get a FC if you installed it that way...

I just installed it (v2.0) per your instructions in my new SGS III with "GoLauncher"...

Works fine!!!
[Android Apps and Games] sUsH667:
thx for your great work, using it a long time now on different devices and different roms and never had any problems with it.

now that version 2 is out and i look at it makes me think...

i like the functionality of the simple list-style of the earlier version, but the colours and background-design of version 2 simply matches the ics-style better.

do you plan releasing a version of 1.2.3 themed like version 2, meaning a list-style appwidgetpicker themed in ics-design?

that would be really cool!

greetz n thx again,

sUsH

I am on the ICS CM9 and really miss your app there. I love the v1.2.3 but the background color doesn't seem to fit (white). Could you release the version 1.2.3 with ICS background color (the same as in v2)?

That is not appwidgetpicker in the screen shot. It is the built in function in nova launcher. Nova launcher automatically stacks the apps in the list when adding to the home screens.

Try adding a widget in say widgetlocker. You'll get the "normal" non stack list.

Look, just Nova, appwidgetpicker not installed:)

[Android Apps and Games] Heather_A:
Couple of questions... I'm trying to load this into system/app on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and am having no luck.

Does my Kindle need to be rooted for this to work?

If/when I get it into system/app how do I set permissions? I can't seem to find out how to change these with the apps I'm using (AirDroid and/or ES File Explorer) Do I need another tool?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] ylexot:
You need to be rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Hi,

I've never tested this with a kindle fire but I guess it needs to be rooted if you want to copy it to /system partition. If you can't change the permission be sure that the filesystem is mounted as writeable.

Will it work unrooted?

I just switched from an iPhone (which I've had forever) to a Samsung Galaxy s4. I haven't rooted it (I don't know the pro's and con's yet) but I did download go Launcher. I've been playing with it for hours. One of my favorite apps/widgets is Evernote but I can't drag the widget to the home screen. I'm wondering will your AppWidgetPicker-1.2.2.apk work on my machine without rooting it?

I am sorry if this has been addressed before. It's a LONG thread and I gave up reading around page 40.

Thanks in advance,

Dov
[Android Apps and Games] ylexot:
No, you must have root to put files in the system folder and change the permissions. I'd suggest trying a different launcher (Nova or Apex) to see if the launcher is the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] shifuimam:
I have a brand new Galaxy S4. Rooted with CF-AutoRoot, running MF9 FW, using GO Launcher EX.

Both 1.2.3 and 2 FC. It's in the right location (/system/app/) and file permissions are the same as everything else (RW-R-R) in that folder.

Am I missing something? Is this confirmed to work in JB?
[Android Apps and Games] shifuimam:
Sure! Where is the log file located? I'll upload it right now.
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Just use "adb logcat" while you try to add a widget. If the app FCs there should be some new entries or you use the "SendLog" App from Playstore...

Just installed the updated version from the first post in the thread - works great, now! I hope this idea makes it into the mainline code. Even forgetting about the applications that have 10 different size options - some applications have multiple different widget types too, and it's nice to keep them organized like this. A+, great work!

The sorting issue is that the normal "Linux" meaning of alphabetical is A-Za-z, so anything that is lowercase will come after all the capital letters are done. If you want to fix it, you'd just have to sort based on the single-case version of the name (or do an ignore-case sort, if there is an easy way to do that).
[Android Apps and Games] ginseil:

[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Thx for that just uploaded version 1.1.1 with fixed sorting ;)

[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
It is a Desire so it has "S-ON" which means that the /system/ partition (directory) cant be mounted as writable while not in the recovery...

The best way in this case is to use the flashable zip via recovery or use ADB in recovery mode...
