I love it. Can get rid of unwanted publishers from your list. Just wish I knew how to get rid of more than one publisher
Add a pipe character ("Alt+S" on the G1, or "?123" + "ALT" + "|" on the default virtual keyboard. You should have something like this: "IndiaNIC|Netmite" (without the quotes).
Thanks! No more top sexy lady apps, themes or dictionary apps for me
Now if only it was a regular application and not a crappy widget.
Wow, pretty harsh...
It's a damn good widget. If you want a application for this then just use the market. Honestly, there is a difference between being a complete **** and constructive criticism.

I think their point was why have an app running all the time when you only need to have it running when you are accessing the market.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it truly just running when we set it to update the widget? Or is it constantly running in the background even if it isn't accessing any data and using up precious battery life? I have alot of widgets installed and it doesn't slow my phone down or drain my battery any faster so I was under the impression it didn't always use up resources. Maybe i'm wrong

Every app or widget that is running is using up some resources how much depends on what the function of the app/widget and how well programmed it is and any limitations because of being coded in Java.
At the very least it'll be using up ram since most people don't have swap files, nor should they for various reasons.

Thanks for the clarification
This widget does not use any resources other than some of your memory just like any other app. When you have it set up as an active widget, it uses resources when it checks for new apps. This is no different than any other app that polls for updates. As soon as it finishes fetching data, it shuts itself down. The bulk of the work is done by on the server so really the widget really does very little to use the phones resources. If you have it set to update every 5 minutes and get 100 apps, you might drain your battery pretty quickly.

Yea I think it was pulled. It wasn't working yesterday, so maybe that was why. I wiped my phone and I couldn't re-download the app. Guess it's gone.
I've enabled it but it doesn't look like its doing any thing No GPS location no way of clicking on photo then settings to show a "map" to see from where pic was taken... Even uploaded it to Picasa and FB thinking maybe it would there and nothing...

enable Geo tagging and you have to have the GPS enabled. IF you are using the hero rom then I believe the app footprints and that widget has been removed. You wont see location info in the gallery. Try uploading the picture to Picasa and on the right you should see the location (if it tagged it right) there are also other sites you can upload to .. but I cant remember them now. See how that works

well the DrizzyDrake build USED to have it .. but they removed it several builds ago .. guess it was some recource hog. I dont know about the other hero builds though ... Fatal1ty or something like that .. may have it in theirs BUT I dont think that build is really setup for the G1 .. and I have like 14MB free after that build and no appstosd with that one. Not too sure about the others.

you wouldnt think .. but I`m sure that there are probbly some background processes going on too ... may be able to get away with installing the .apk for the footprints app ... but not too sure if its just that easy .. there may be a lot more files to add to different parts of the update and may have to be resigned and all that stuff ... I would go into Justanotherdevelopers thread and ask if he could put it back in ...
Anybody have the apk for fancy widget?
Yes, I do. I'm not at home right now, and I'm not sure when I will be home. I'm on a short vacation and the apk file is on my desktop computer at home. I found it on the internet if you want to look for it, or you can wait until I get back home (which will be Monday morning--I think).
I tried searching for it on google, but I think all of sites were forced to take it down due to HTC's C&D.
I love the look of Fancy Widget, but I'm constantly having a problem with the time not updating. The task is not being killed since it's on my task killer's ignore list. It seems to happen at random times...sometimes while the phone is in standby, other times while in use. Is there a solution for this?

It's funny you say that because BW has always worked perfectly for me, and for that reason I switched back to it. That's fine with me because I just saw a skin I really like, and I e-mailed the dev to see if he could modify it slightly. He cooperated and now BW looks very very close to the Sense look (other than the weather icon being on the right rather than centered).
This is the best HTC Sense-like clock. It looks even better than Weather Widget with h7c skin, but has this strange update issue, when I have to wait sometimes for clock to update.
BTW It shows us how Market is NOT open and without control . It's better than AppStore and we can always use *.apk, but it's sad that if some app isn't good for hTC for example, they simply delete it.
It wasn't deleted, HTC asked the developer to take it down I beleive. It was taken down by their choice from what I read, and probably a good idea. It was so similar to the HTC one, I'm sure they have rights on it

The Market never claimed to be open or without control, its just a heck of a lot less demanding/strict than the app store... The underlying code for Android is open but anything that manufacturers or devs add to the code itself (IE: Sense UI, Motoblur etc...) along with the apps on the market, are proprietary and therefore NOT open (unless otherwise stated).
no weather info is displayed on v1.2.4
How do you check if there is no virus or malware (calling international numbers i.e.) in any of these files? Is there any other way to check this, besides blind trust?

Should say in manifest (request privileges) if it can make phone calls -- which this app only asks for GPS & Internet access.

Been digging online and through the forums with no luck...can somone post up the old version of Fancy Widget??
Nevermind...guess they don't allow it on here. If anyone can PM me it, that'd be awesome...

remove world clock or desk clock and maintain alarm?
alright, after a few more seconds of research, i believe it should stay.
next question, i dont use the desk clock but sometimes i use my phone to set an alarm.
can i remove the world clock and maintain the desk clock and alarm? or can i remove the world clock and still have the desk clock and alarm functionality?
im just removing things... thank you thank you
edit: also gtalkservice. safe to remove? im figuring not.

Only way to know is to try, right? Nandroid first, of course. I think all the clocks are inter-related somehow on a Sense ROM, so my guess is that removing any one of the clock or alarm apk's will kinda break them all. But I've never actually tried it myself to know for 100% sure.
EDIT: I think you CAN safely remove the HTC clock widget, but why would you want to? I assume most people use the clock in its widget form on a home screen.

Many times when you try to remove Google things from your phone (ones that were already included with a ROM like gtalk), your access/login to the Market can break. Not always, but it does happen enough that most people typically don't mess with the included Google stuff.

i left the gtalkservice. i deleted google talk, nothing seemed to be affected. i dont use any widgets, i deleted those on day one. maybe ill try deleting the clock...
thanks
I deleted my WorldClock.apk no problem. I actually prefer the AOSP eclair clock and alarm clock better. Also yes, you can delete google talk, just don't delete the service. If you delete the service, it will break your Android market

hello.
do yall think itd be safe to remove the standard(stock) Internet app that comes with the phone? I use opera mini atm and soon ill be using fennec. could there be any adverse affects? the only thing i could see changing would be that the phone wouldnt question me as to which browser to use...(i dont like setting defaults. prefer one app to do a job)
thank you thank you
edit: removed... with no issues(so far)
It looks like a security researcher found out the use for this app.
Try searching this in Google: "Carrier IQ: Researcher Trevor Eckhart Outs Creepy, Hidden App Installed On Smartphones"
Essentially, it records every website you view, and every key you press on your Android phone. Even if you are on SSL, on WiFi.
Posted this on another forum and everybody started crying about it being in the wrong section rather than helping...rude.
What's with the running service, ' alarm service' for the market? Its always running and I want it gone.
Seems to have popped with the new market...

I think this might be what you are lookig for:http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html
SPECULATION on my part but from what I read looks like that is what it is.
I've checked my services periodically to see if this would ever popup for me, but it never did. :/
I'd say try uninstalling the updated market and wiping the cache/data for it via the applications menu under settings - same menu you went to to take that snap shot.
Well what's the disadvantage? Do you actually notice slowdown, battery draining, etc due to it? If not, why bother about it?
