Super app, need'd 1x1 1x2 & other sizes
[Android Apps and Games] Babydollll:
I really like the idea. However, I find the editor unintuitive and difficult to use. The issue is not figuring out how it works. The issue for me is having any of my changes stick once I make them. If your average user in the market couldn't figure out minimalist text's editor, they won't get this either. I assume that what your going for here, testing before you release it on the android market. I'm using a N1, stock, not rooted.

Excellent app, whit a few more objects to add this whill become an important clock app. This app deserve to be on the market.

I want to say one word to yhe developer excellent!
[Android Apps and Games] Mehu:
Great app! Congratulations :)

+1
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
I'm looking forward to seeing more widgets. The present one's are too long for me meaning you can't place a shortcut directly next to the widget.

I also would like to see more fonts and design elements added.

Once done I'd be happy to pay.
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
Hello, thanks a lot for this feedback, it is very valuable for me. Could you please share more details, what confuses you?

I made some changes in beta2 (planned to be released very soon) to make app more intuitive but I agree that it may look a bit complicated for average user.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] jale:
Great app/widget!

I have not read the whole tread, but some of my suggestions are:

- Rotate text, and option to "write" them vertical, not only horizontal.

- Custom text "label". Like a thing you add to your screen, and write your own text in.

- Items arrange, I find it hard to align different items on a straight line (needs to select several items).

- Zoom in, for easier see if things are in line etc. (try to select a dot ( . ) after its added...)

- Landscape mode.

- Also, clock is 16.01 in my country now, but the clock says 16.0. I see that this is reported already... :)

- Shadow color, shadow thickness, shadow distance from text, shadow opacity.

- Custom grid size.

- Export design function to share with others, or online share service. (It looks like it is in the road map...)

- And what about a PC program to make designs, and import them to the phone? Or an online designer, so you can easy share designs there, and also download to phone.

- All UPPER- or lowercase.

- Function to override month, date, day and time in designer tool, to see if design is correct for all months and days etc.

But all together, a very fine app! Works very well, and easy and intuitive to use!

When updates are out, will my designs be lost? Are they stored in a file on the phone so I can make a backup of them?
[Android Apps and Games] Juve88:
Fantastic App, really really impressed with it. Great work.

Only two things I would recommend: 1) Add the ability to rotate text, 2) Work on the editor a little. It is currently quite difficult to move the parts around. Maybe a custom grid size would help with this. Things like a colon (: separator) are near impossible to put into place.

All in all though, great job. I would pay for this app.

Used on a Desire HD, 2.2
[Android Apps and Games] stevemiddie:
This looks superb!

I am a newbie so please forgive a daft question? Where do I place the apk file in my phone? Which folder? Or can I put it onto the SD card?

Great work by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] jale:
You can place it anywhere you want... A .apk is an installation file, when you run it, you install the program. After that, you can delete the .apk.
[Android Apps and Games] stevemiddie:
Many thanks!!!

Errrrrrrrr whilst on the subject of apk files............you said they could be deleted after the program has installed? Would that free up internal memory?

Sorry if its a daft question.
[Android Apps and Games] Ryukenden:
Great app, thanks :) Works like a charm :)
[Android Apps and Games] d_1000:
Liking this app a lot. The Default font is not the system default font, but the app default font....correct? Could this be changed to the system default font at sometime or the ability to import other fonts?

Thanks for all of your hard work!:D
[Android Apps and Games] EdWRX:
Just did this on a G2, awesome app!!
[Android Apps and Games] silverxbv2:
Wow. This app is great. Just a couple of suggestions that have been mentioned already. More widget sizes. More fonts. Alarm clock.

I did notice a bit of a bug I think. When using the 4 X1 widget it cuuts off part of some Widgets that are below it. I only noticed it on a couple of widgets though. Mostly the weather widget. Great app and looking forward to future updates.
[Android Apps and Games] jale:
Yes, if you have stored the apk in the internal storage.

If you saved it on the SD card, you would only free up space on the SD card...

Okey?
[Android Apps and Games] Arcaziel:
Very nice! The app works like a charm and there are many options!

The only thing I could tell about is the lack of typos and maybe symbols to enhence customisation.

You could also try to add a share feature. Or at least an export/import option for lazy guys :p

(I'll post a screen of my template as soon as can <new user...>)

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] stevemiddie:
Many thanks.!

Wow. Really an amazing app. Love it. Requests:

Add alpha to colors (Transparency)

Allow changing shadow color

Short version of day of week/month

Other size widgets

More fonts/ allowing importation of fonts

Your really off to a great start.
[Android Apps and Games] karyney:
Very cool app! Great job.
[Android Apps and Games] Trainer#1:
Fantastic work! I'm loving the flexibility to get creative. I can't wait to see what new features are added.

Especially looking forward to weather, and design sharing should be fun!

Tiny bug when I create a new xml, it does not appear in the list of xml choices until I leave and then reenter the program.

I'd love to see an option for text time, transparency options, and shortcuts to launch other apps when touching certain parts of the clock.

Flawless on the G2 uber rooted cyanogen 6.

[Android Apps and Games] slane35:
I like the app so far. UI took a few minutes to get used too but it is easy to use after that. I'm excited to spend more time making different designs.

Only suggestion I have now is to have the option to type in a font size in addition to using the slider. This could also be helpful for typing in coordinates for objects.

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] Babydollll:
Nothing "confuses" me per se, it's just that none of the changes I make to any widget stick. I'm talking about color, size, anything. Also it's not very obvious that to use one of the backgrounds you have to first click on rectangle (in the + menu) then it allows you to choose color, placement, ect...

Believe me, I appreciate all the hard work it takes to make an app. I know it's not an easy thing and requires skill, time, and patience. I really do like the idea. I am one those homescreen phreaks, always changing themes, icons, widget placement, wallpapers... I am always on the lookout for cool stuff. I just see all the comments in the market pertaining to minimalist text widget (to name one) and how people just don't get how the editor works and give low ratings. Maybe it's me, I'm probably doing something wrong. I just don't know what. Thank you.

Sorry if I rambled.

[Android Apps and Games] lupoalberto12:
Hi.

I tried your widget: it's amazing!

I have to report only two things:

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but every clock have always four digits (or three if it is 12hrs clock): why do the "16:07" become "16:7" (or "4:7 pm")?

In the "Tuning" tab, the button "Arrow right" is almost completely covered by the check "Lock Coordinates": I can push it but it's more difficult.

I tried it on HTC Wildfire with rom stock Froyo 2.2.1.

It would be wonderful if there was the weather forecast.

Thank you very much.

Bye!

[Android Apps and Games] Neffstarr:
thanks brotha .. looks great
[Android Apps and Games] Trainer#1:
@babydoll25

Did you click the save button at the top? That should save any changes you make as an xml template which you name.

Hopefully the dev will layer the options by basic and advanced. That's the easiest way I can think of to create a friendly ui without sacrificing the flexibility and options that make this app unique.

@dev

I think preloading plenty of xml files with a thumbnail for each is the way to go. That will satisfy basic users who don't want to tinker with everything. I'm certain you can get plenty of examples from your users here on XDA. People are already posting beautiful screenshots!
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
Hello, make editor to be both powerful and easy to use is not trivial.

I rely on community features because I saw (not only) in this thread a lot of creative designs, so I'm sure that people will like to share their work.
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
Hello, beta2 was just releases. See first post for more details, release notes and download url.

Now I'll focus on designs sharing. When designs sharing implemented I'll get back to editor improvements. Please don't stop testing it and providing feedback.

Thanks for everybody who contributed in this thread.

[Android Apps and Games] EdWRX:
Only problem I see is that when I rebooted the phone, had to reinstall the app completely because it wouldn't load the widget.

Anyone else had that problem?
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
I believe that you don't have reinstall app but only delete widget and add it again (Template should survive).

Could you please look at logs on your phone whether is there some exception from my app in logs?

Also one more question: what is your phone/ROM? Some phones (HTC Wildfire, ...) have issue that they don't assign the same number to the widget after reboot.

Thanks and sorry for invonvenience

Tom
[Android Apps and Games] Babydollll:
Yes, I did click save and named my new creation with a unique name (nothing extravagant just typo main and similar names I even tried one word names like home) and it always reverts back to the original template. Otherwise I had alot of fun playing around with all the options. :)

FWIW, I just installed the new over the old. No problemo here, so far.

Also, I couldn't find it on the Market; just uploaded from the dropbox.
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
It will go to Market when stable (from user experience perspective) a bit. You are test rabbits ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
This was a bit stupid feature of beta1. It is fixed in beta2.
[Android Apps and Games] Trainer#1:
@babydoll25

Hmm. Maybe its fixed in the new beta version. The dev fixed some bugs. Maybe its the rom you are using. I'm on cyan 6.1

Sorry if I'm less than helpful. :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Babydollll:
I appreciate you answering. Thank you. I'm not sure which beta I'm using, I'll check. I'm stock by the way. (I know, I know I'm boring and unadventurous...)

Finally a clock widget that lets me do what I want! Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] d_1000:
Thank you for update. App is very stable, very easy to use.
[Android Apps and Games] silverxbv2:
I noticed in beta 2 there are options for 3 wide, but long pressing to add a widget doesn't have 3 wide as an option. ????

Not sure how I sent this??
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
This is splendid! When it makes it to market, I will purchase it, as is.

Though I have two recommendations (sorry haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if they are repeated)

1. allow us to have (i'll call them) zones so if we want the clock to launch multiple apps we can.

2. It has been mentioned, and it is a clock widget, but if you could add weather, this could be (or would be) the best clock widget in the market.

Again, absolutely love this, thanks!

actually three recommendations, though I don't know if this would be possible, I'd like a way to resize our already made templates to another size. i.e. I made one at 4x2 and found that I actually wanted 4x1, would of liked it to be converted over somehow. Again, not sure if that would even possible. And making a new one isn't that hard.

oh a fourth suggestion :) I found it really hard to reselect a couple of the items when making a template (especially the : colon) if there was some way to scroll through the items that would be nice.

ok done for now, again thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Gx3:
thank you great app!!!

misses sdcard fonts selection

an option to use pngs instead of fonts

an option to add a static custom image

maybe some of this ideas are welcome ;)

ps : I've noticed that now the usable width of the widget has been reduced by some pixel on both sides (L/R)... is that normal? (cause after the update something in my design has been trimmed)
[Android Apps and Games] Cateyerr:
Loving this app! Finally able to customize a clock how i want after trying clockr, tajm and others and never being quite satisfied. Here are a few of my designs after playing around a bit.

Things i'd like to see:

1. Ability to insert vertical text or even rotate text by degrees

2. Ability to make text larger (there was one instance where i wanted bigger than 130 size)

3. More fonts or option to load fonts from sd card

4. Yet more widget/template sizes - for the circle design above i wanted to add the date and month below the time but the widget wasn't large enough.

5. Seems like the anchor points shift around a bit when the clock changes numbers - seems most noticeable when 1's are displayed. Affects alignment a bit. I'll play around more and see exactly what is going on.

Overall very nice, keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Chrono_Tata:
Just got the new beta and a couple of bugs to report.

1. When you add medium date and long date, if you pick the option to capitalise the first letter, the first letter of the month doesn't actually get capitalised.

2. While there is an option to make 3x1 and 3x2 templates, there aren't any ways to actually add 3x1 and 3x2 widgets.

Another feature I would suggest is a customisable text box you can add to the template.

Also the previous poster who asked for a taller template, for a quick fix try making a new template and add it under your existing template (so you have 2 widgets on top of another).
[Android Apps and Games] DaiTeM:
Amazing clock app, finally a customizable one ;)

Bugs:

- Android notification bar flashing during list selections;

Suggestions:

- Make objects movable by phisical direction keys or trackball;

- Manually enter size number for objects (sliders are too difficult to manage on QVGA screen);

- Rotate objects;

- Insert short day of the week;

- Multiple apps association (like Alarm for clock, or Calendar for date);

Thanks so much, my 2x1 clock is so much nicer now! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Menelaoxda:
Amazing app!!! I love it!!!

Just a little suggestion, could you may add an option to a custom action when you click the widget, so you can click the widget and open the alarm clock program.

If you want I can translate it in Italian.
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
That's already on there, when you add the widget to your screen it's an option then. But the option for two Or more apps to launch now that would be swell.
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
One more thing I noticed, and perhaps this is a setting I missed?

at times with one digit the formatting is odd.

If the hour is 1-9 it stays to the left rather then going to the right

If the minute is 1-9 it goes right and has no 0 in front of it

This Is odd to me, however it could have been which item I chose, if not though that needs to be added please. =p
[Android Apps and Games] d_1000:
You can align/justify each element 9 different ways, in fact. There is a default for each element, but they are easy to change. Open up the widget.... from your screen into the template preview mode and select an element ( such and the day number or the month) by touching it on the screen. Then select the "anchor" icon. You can select how you want to anchor it. If you select "->" it is right justified or the middle one "." it is now middle justified (middle meaning horizontally and vertically) ...you actually have 9 ways that you can justify

each

element...incredible flexibility. Just be sure to click on the save button.

So to answer your question: right justify the hour and leave the minute as is since it seems to already be right justified.

Let me know if it works.:D
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
Alpha is already available in beta2 (see homepage of this thread).

Short Day/Week in beta3

Other widget sizes in beta4

More fonts later
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
Flashing - I'm aware of it, I'll fix it in beta3

Manual size - good idea, will think about it (beta4 or beta5)

Rotate - will think about it (beta6)

Short day of week (beta3)

Multiple apps association - it is not trivial but it is doable (probably in beta6)
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
Thanks for reporting this, I'll fix it in beta3.
[Android Apps and Games] EdWRX:
When I hit "Menu" > "Add Widget" > Make your template (or something, dont remember now) It didn't appear after reboot.

Im using an HTC Vision, on CyanogenMod 7, at this moment, but when I used your app I was on CM6.1.1

I'm still working a few things out with this Rom, but will definitely give it a try again!
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
Awesome screenshots, I love them.

Can I share them via twitter? (Together with you twitter id if you have one).

Regarding your suggestions:

- 90 degress rotation - beta3 or beta4

- more fonts - later as I have to handle somehow portability of designs (probably I'll allow them but such a designs could not be shared)

- anchor points - I know that there is one bug, I'll fix it.

- more templates sizes (probably beta 4)
[Android Apps and Games] Cateyerr:
Yes, feel free to use/distribute them however you like. It's the least I can do!

[Android Apps and Games] kkevin94:
downloaded. I'll report back later with results

EDIT: Great Job. It works well on my Optimus T. I took it off because I wanted a super plain clock widget which i have in Digital Clock Widget, but yours is exceptional.Good job.
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
Close You got me in the right area I was actually looking for it turns out the format option! And ended up finding that you can resize the widget while keeping all items also.

Seriously this is great! Add the ability to launch multiple apps and possibly a weather option op and I will buy this.
[Android Apps and Games] ikanikolai:
Please add to the features: tap on the widget open an chosen app. Maybe tap on clock an app, and tap on the calendar open another app. :)

The idea and this stuff is great. Thumbs up!
[Android Apps and Games] Humanio:
Great work on everything so far. One thing I'm curious about is the behavior of the widget when being resized. Attempting to resize the widget using Launcher Pro doesnt actually make the widget smaller or larger. The bounding box for the widget changes to your desired size but the actual widget remains untouched.

Good stuff!
[Android Apps and Games] Fuchtelworld:
Nice App.

I would love an "Duplicate Selected Item" Function.

Any news about the new Beta Relase Date? :D
[Android Apps and Games] modelstudent:
might be a bit of a stupid question, but does this also work on a non-rooted device? thx
[Android Apps and Games] silence!:
First ... great work, I love it.

I have just one suggestion, could you make user defined names for days and months? My phone doesn't support my native language at all (Croatian) so I am stuck with English names. Also, I would love to shorten months to just 3 letters.
[Android Apps and Games] thubalek:
Sure. It works on any Android with 2.x and maybe also on 1.6. I didn't test it.
[Android Apps and Games] QLit-HD2:
First I want to thank you with this really nice app/widget.

When I installed 2.3 on my HD2 I lost my flip clock and quickly after that I saw your widget, played with it and it is still on my home screen (even after I found a sense flipclock widget).

So nice work!

Still one thing I would like to see in this widget is a weather option (and maybe a battery option).

Right now I got a text battery widget and something like that could be really nice addition for yours.

Anyhow, keep up the good work!

EDIT: oh.. a option for adding tekst would be nice too.

[Android Apps and Games] [Jules]:
The clock profiles are stored in /data/data/net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock/shared_prefs/Editor.xml

Perhaps the sharing function would incorporate an import/export to SD option?
