this app not work on TW4

is possible mod??
[Android Apps and Games] syps54:
Tested with SGS II

It is ok not with tw4 but ok with launcher pro !
[Android Apps and Games] taronas:
Alternative Installation using TB Pro

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this app!

Since one needs to have root anyway one probably has TitaniumBackup available. There you have the option to convert an app to a system app (probably in TB Pro only).

So if you have TB Pro: just install the apk, run TB, find the AppWiegetPicker and use the context menu to make it into a system app - Done and working!

Any chance future updates will be compatible with tw4?

Sent from my sgs4g with:

Whitehawks deodexed kd1 & tw4

Fknfosued' status bar mod

& robbbit's boot animations.

Thanks to all of you!
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Sorry I don't think that is possible...I guess TW4 handles the whole widget selection by itself otherwise it should work the way it is...
[Android Apps and Games] MarkP80nj:
Bummer...

This is the one thing I miss from tw3.

Anyway, thanks for your work. This is a great app.

Thanks! Works on G2x
[Android Apps and Games] jman2020:
You actually use touchwiz? The only thing that TW does that I like that LP+ doesn't do s sideways page scrolling of the app drawer a la iPhone. Other than that... Is there a reason you still use the stock launcher vs one of the faster and better developed ones out there?
[Android Apps and Games] neo1691:
awesome!! Thanks!! where is the thanks button??
[Android Apps and Games] Software Guru:
Good app

Shame some themes are not compatible with it in that the list cannot be read as the text and box are all white
[Android Apps and Games] neo1691:
I INSTALLED it

I am getting force close whatever widget I choose.

Am I supposed to push it in system/app

Edit: my bad. Extremely sorry. Should have read the instructions before posting

works great, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mi3x:
Thank you! Great app!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Vigneshd:
Searched for it but couldnt find and see if this works with the ASUS Transformer/Honeycomb.
[Android Apps and Games] sairaku:
Keeps force Closing everytime I pick a widget. On both Galaxy S & Dell Streak. Pitty, it's very awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Did you read the instructions?
[Android Apps and Games] neo1691:
Ya u need to push it in system/app not install it

[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Hey there

this app is amazing on my sgs.

But I don't get it to work on my galaxy tab.

I'm on Overcome 2.0 Gold.

I'm using File Expert to move the AppWidgetPicker.apk to /system/app

But I can't find the file inside this folder after paste operation.

What do I do wrong?

--> found the solution on Overcome site. It's not compatible with Overcome yet.
[Android Apps and Games] sairaku:
Sorry I misunderstood what to do. My bad. I will read better in the future. Thanks though guys. :)
[Android Apps and Games] gi812:
is anyone looking into getting this working on gingerbread for DX?

i love this "app" i dont know why google doesnt include this from the get-go and pay the guy who originally started it lol
[Android Apps and Games] NotATreoFan:
Unless something changed with the official OTA, I was using this with my DX running the last leak prior to its release.

Dear boombuler ,

Thank you for doing this. It's an absolute must have for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Montechristo1979:
Should be in the first post that you need root to do it :(

Is there no other way to clean the widget list? I have no root.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Well, as it says in the first post, you have to copy it into the system files, so it's assumed you understand you need root to do it. Sorry - why don't you just root the phone, it's so much easier to do things at that point. I know it's a bit nerve wracking, but once you do it, you'll wonder why you hesitated....As far as I know there is no other way to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] Montechristo1979:
I would love to root, but for now there is no "easy" root, like "SuperOneClick" or "GingerBreak" available for my XperiaPlay 2.3.3, and i dont want to play around with my bootloader, or different images :)
[Android Apps and Games] Greenfieldan:
An absolute must. I love this app. Thanks again :)
[Android Apps and Games] debh945:
Nice feature article here: http://www.talkandroid.com/43082-focus-on-community-appwidgetpicker/
[Android Apps and Games] Montechristo1979:
Ok, im rooted now. I copied the file to /system/app and set permissions like the other apps in the folder and made a reboot. It works great. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] recycleHTC:
Works like a charm on my Motorola Defy! Realy great app. Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] Montechristo1979:
This should be included in every stock android-rom!

Hope Google pays you millions of bucks for this useful app :p
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
There ya go! :)

I absolutely agree. I'm pretty sure most of the custom ROM developers are including it now, I know MikeyMike01 does in Serendipity.
[Android Apps and Games] deecee52:

I've been using this on my Pro for months, but I recently installed it on my Galaxy Tab as well. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] squire23:
I would love to but some of us still don't have the option. I have the HTC Legend & yes, you can root it but you have no WiFi & Bluetooth after so it's kinda pointless really. Great app - would love to have it.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Well, can you root it, install this, then unroot it? Is that worth it? I have no idea, I've never unrooted a phone, I know it can be done, though.
[Android Apps and Games] ouija147:
Great app

Didn't know I needed this and now won't be able to use my phone without it (that may be an exaggeration) but this is one awesome app!!! :cool:

Do it works on custom ROM? I have download, rename, moved and restarted the phone but can not find it on my second SGS :(
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
WOW great app....now finally my widget list is tidy :)
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Hi,

which launcher do you use?
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
You won't find it, it's just to sort your widgets. It isn't a program in your app drawer.

[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
does not work on MIUI V24 with ADW launcher

and yes i have read the instructions

thnx !
[Android Apps and Games] gsu_golfer:
Reboot?
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
symptoms? Doesn't it show up or do you get a FC or anything else?
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
it simply does not Show up when i add a widget it did not gather all together

of course i have done a reboot

really wanting this since the use of widgets

anyway to get this work on MIUI with ADW ?
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Hi,

it should work with ADW on any Rom...

You could try the following:

1) Install the APK file (I know the instructions said don't do this)

2) Check if it shows up

3) Uninstall + Remove the APK

if it shows up you have made a mistake while installation. If it doesn't show up MIUI has broken something...

BTW: if it shows up it will Force Close as soon as you select a widget...

I hope this helps us to narrow down the issue...
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
ok so i have done what u did and yes it showed up and yes it did force close the moment i pick a widget

heres some screenshots of how it looks

i followed this in the first try same as it says in the post

Instructions:

* Download the attached APK file

* Rename it to "AppWidgetPicker.apk"

* copy it to /system/app

* make sure it has the same file permissions as the other files in that directory

* maybe reboot.

* Don't install it just copy it!

i used root explorer i know how to use this stuff so i dunno why it does not show up

what do u mean by this ?

* make sure it has the same file permissions as the other files in that directory

when i copied the file AppWidgetPicker.apk after renaming it i mount system/app folder and copied that file and rebooted still did not show

only how u told me to do it did how so what could be wrong ?
[Android Apps and Games] sykomaniac:
I did this on miui 1.24 using launcher pro and estrongs file manager. Downloads v1.2.3 renamed to appwidgetpicker.apk copied to system/app and set permissions to rwrr.

Worked perfectly and with no restart required!
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
thats what i did just with root explorer i wonder whats up then

im sure i did nothing wrong

i wish to get this yummy addon working !!

EDIT :

got it working i did long press the file inside system/app

and made sure it has the same permission as all other files there

thnx allot !!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] sykomaniac:
No problem glad you got it working!

Can I just say what a brilliant little app :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
indeed i can say it is brilliant

perfect for us organized people :)

this should come built in ...in any rom there is including stock ones

could i just install this on any rom i use for ever and ever ? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Simian Drugs:
Question answer in OP. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] telectroguy:
works perfectley in launcher pro in sense rom. but one small request when i press back a small black box flashes appears , it should be s part of the closing animaion , is there any way that it could be disabled in the futrure versions.
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Hi,

I don't have this issue so it is hard for me to fix it and this bug can also be caused by the rom...

But I will fix it as soon as I know whats the problem!
[Android Apps and Games] tommytomatoe:
Hey boombuler. I've recently had to unroot my HTC Evo to get it repaired and the latest ota hasn't been cracked yet. So lately I've had to be inventive to get my themes and mods going for Sense. Because I can't access the system partition, I decided to sign your app and install it like a regular third party app. It works. :-) When you try to add a widget it asks you if you would like to use the stock widget selector or appwidgetpicker. This was tested on Go launcher. While I generally use Sense, I wanted to incorporate this to the stock the Sense widget picker.

My question is, then, is there a reason it must be in system/app?

I am unrooted and have used this app with success.

Edit. Okay I get why now. Hehe. No permission granted when the app is installed to data. Please disregard post. :-)
[Android Apps and Games] daveybaby:
Fantastic app. Works flawlessly. Thanks!

Your app should be included in all roms. It is one of the first apps I install when changing rom.
[Android Apps and Games] WheresWaldo:
Yes it does, with both 3.1 and 3.2

zipping it and installing it through recovery doesn't work...

when I just install it normally I get FC...

Copying with Root Explorer doesn't work...don't know why.

nice idea! will try more later tonight.

please keep up the great work, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] I[E:
copying with root explorer works fine. put the apk in /system/app/ and set permissions to rw- r-- r--. may have to reboot to get it going.
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
In your sig I see Desire? S-On I guess?

Simply go to the recovery and push it via adb:

adb push AppWidgetPicker.apk /system/app/

(uninstall it first)
[Android Apps and Games] GchildT:
Great app.

Note: Installing the APP gave me FC when trying to add a widget. Works fine when pushed to /system/app
[Android Apps and Games] ginseil:
hey, this seems to be a very nice app ;) i'll try it soon.

another thing.. wouldn't it be easier for some people to install your app with a simple update zip?

edit: tested it on htc desire running open desire 4.0.10. it works like a charm :) thanks a lot!

I did noticed the change in color when scrolling, but I like it.
[Android Apps and Games] Fekke:
Works fine to push into /system/apps folder on SGS
[Android Apps and Games] kpoz:
Trying this method. Rebooting as we speak.

Edit: Works nicely! Great work!!! Scrolling is a bit choppier than usual and the background color changes, but those are minor quibbles. Nice work!
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
This is much needed as some widgets add a lot of entries. Good job.

If i may suggest: modify the original code on cyanogens repository and submit the change (before someone else does :)). I'm sure it will be accepted.

works fine on my kor cm6.
[Android Apps and Games] sharlatan:
Works great, thanks! :) It really makes things a lot neater.

Was having problems:

adb push AppWidgetPicker.apk /system/app/

failed to copy 'AppWidgetPicker.apk' to '/system/app//AppWidgetPicker.apk': Out of memory

so resorted to using adb shell:

~ # cp -a sdcard/download/AppWidgetPicker.apk /system/app

However, some widgets (such as adbWireless) are not showing up at all - screenshot attached. YouTube is last on my list. Is that because I moved adbWireless to the SD card?
[Android Apps and Games] robertoestivill:
Check Permissions

I downloaded the apk file from my computer using andFtp because Astro wasn't able to copy to /system/app.

It didn't work at all the first time I rebooted, even though the apk was in /system/app. Turn out to be that the apk permissions were not set.

I just went on the terminal and changed it manually with:

$su

# chmod 777 /system/app/AppWidgetPicker.apk

and it worked after a second reboot.

I'm an order freak and i love this app

thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] Lebog:
Love it.. I was getting FCs at first, but then changed permissions with Root Explorer and now it works perfectly. Definitely submit for inclusion in CM. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Weird... and they did show up with the original code? (maybe they are in the same package as another widget?)

cause I did start with the original source, and I didn't modify the code to find the widgets...

But anyways I should have a look at this issue :(

Regards

Florian
[Android Apps and Games] sharlatan:
Yes, they showed up previously. I'm using cm6.0.2.1-liberty. It's not a big issue since the main reason I moved it to SD was that I don't use the app very often. (Thus I don't use the widget either.) But thought I ought to point it out ;)
[Android Apps and Games] smartsreenath:
I will try................:):):)
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:

[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
You mean you just installed it like a regular app? Unless something has changed, it may install and look like it's ok, but it won't work. It's a system app, it needs to be put into place and permissions set. Let us know.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
According to the OP install instructions.. yea, that won't work.

Do you know what app will let me copy it over and set permissions? Astro doesn't let me copy any from the SD card to paste on the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] DjDarkDragon:
Would you confirm that this works?My brother wants this but isnt rooted..so if this works it would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I use Root Explorer. Be sure to set it to R/W, and then back to R/O when you're finished.

It doesn't. You can't use this if you're not rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] kelvs:
can someone confirm if it works with SGS2 ?
[Android Apps and Games] Sylvia:
Does anybody have tested this on a rooted flyer??
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
According to the OP it will work on any AOSP-like Launcher. Doubt it's phone specific. Seems like any of the popular market-based launchers will work. (LPP, GO Launcher, ADW Launcher, ...)
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Bought Root Explorer and moved it, copied permission settings from the other apps in that folder as per OP. A reboot seems definitely needed before it actually works though.

But it's great! Took 73 entries and replaced it with 10. Splendid!
[Android Apps and Games] Cellulah:
Okay, I got the app in the right folder finally and it's working great. Awesome app!

[Android Apps and Games] Kusie:
Does this work with Go Launcher EX?

Would be nice to have a launcher compatibility list on Page 1 maybe?

Thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Launchers have nothing to do with it, so there's no need for a list. It's a system app.
[Android Apps and Games] Kusie:
Thanks, i hereby confirm that it works on GoLauncher EX anyway :)

AND it enables me to use the Original Stock widgets again that were not available in Golauncher default widget selection! Excellent!
[Android Apps and Games] boombuler:
Thats not 100% correct... It works with every launcher that uses the android api to pick the widget... The sense launcher for example has its own picking code...

This app kicks butts, simple, but very useful.

How did you do ?

I'm using a SGS2 with a rooted Android 2.3.3.

I've copyed the apk in system/app renamed to AppWidgetPicker.apk, set permission to rw-r--r-- (like other .apk files) and rebooted but nothing changed.
[Android Apps and Games] Vostradamus:
Which launcher are you using?

I think I've read somewhere that it does not work with sgs2 stock launcher...

(someone with sure info about this please confirm)
[Android Apps and Games] killian32:
LauncherPro Plus v.0.8.6
[Android Apps and Games] guardianali:
You have to clear defaults. Go into apps..uninstall. go back to system/apps, click it, choose install. When you then chose widget add to screen, popular will ask if u want old one or new one. Choose new one and check box to make default.
[Android Apps and Games] Vostradamus:
100% agree with guardianali: follow his instructions and it should work :)
[Android Apps and Games] killian32:
Well I've read to just copy it so I didn't installed.

Anyway I've tryed to follow your instructions and when I try to install it I've got an "errore while analyzing packet". I've redownload and I've downloaded also previous versione but I always get the error.

(The folder on phone is /system/app ... maybe I've to look in a different folder ?)
[Android Apps and Games] Vostradamus:
lol you're right, I must have been drunk while reading the previous post... it must NOT be installed, you did it right the first time :p

The folder is correct: \system\app

After placing it in that folder, did you check the file permissions? You need to set the same permissions as the other files in the folder...
[Android Apps and Games] killian32:
Yes it's rw-r--r-- like others files.

There's no .odex file like other .apk but I think this is right.
[Android Apps and Games] Vostradamus:
Uhm... weird... everything seems to be ok, I don't really get why it's not working :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] r3tr0g4m3r:
AWESOME APP!!! I couln't live without my LG apps on my Optimus 2X, but with this app i can finally get rid of the stock rom, you rock man!
[Android Apps and Games] killian32:
Finally I got it to work. The downloaded APK was corrupted (maybe firewall and/or antivirus was the problem). I redownloaded from another PC and now it works !
