I created an apk of a widget for the market. I installed the apk and once I place the widget on the home screen it disappears. I've recorded this happening on video. I have no idea why this is happened but that it's only happening with my apk.

Is anyone else having problems with the weather widget donate flip clock? The clock stopped working so I uninstalled it and re-installed it and now it won't even load.
No issues here though I have found that any task killing apps mess it up so you have to make sure you exclude the app.
Sometimes my widget only says "Forecast..." and no black background at all

Click the widget and hit Refresh.
Hey guys, a few days ago, I updated from Cyanogen5.07 T5 to 5.07 DS. After updating, I noticed more than a few of my apps weren't showing up under Settings>Applications. Weird, I know.
So to fix this, I wiped, reflashed. While re-installing the apps I had on my phone, I tried to download a very particular app: Flipclock medium. After various searches through market for "Flipclock", "clock", "flip", and "medium", I still could not find the app.
I tried a variation of the app, retro flip clock widget, but the clock freezes constantly and stops moving. I would have to remove the widget and replace it again. Obviously this isn't a viable solution.
Additional notes:
I have tried Weather Widgets Donate and Weather Widgets (yr.no). Neither one will keep from freezing. I also know about the 4x2 flipclock widgets that have shown up on market but I do not like the look of these and do not wish to bother trying them.
In conclusion:
Does anyone know if this clock freezing is an issue with CM 5.07 DS?
Does anyone know if it's just me that can't see flipclock medium on market?
Does anyone have an existing APK of flipclock medium (it's a free app)?
Please answer asap, thank you.
Anyone? Really looking for help on this..
Also tried Beautiful Widgets which worked for a while but for no reason, started to freeze for me again. Also generated a lot of lag after a while, as well as showing a force close notification even when there were no Beautiful widgets present on screens.
I've had an issue lately where my Widget Selection menu won't refresh and show a widget available from a newly installed app. Has this happened to anyone else? After a reboot, or waiting for quite a while, the widget will appear in the Widget portion of the app drawer, but it's not always immediate the way that it should be. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Has anyone experienced a problem trying to set a wallpaper in portrait orientation from QuickPic? In my case, if I browse the gallery in QuickPic, find the picture and try to use the HTC Gallery (Sense 5.5, Android Revolution HD 53), it simply doesn't open. If I try to use QuickPic itself, it only allows me to crop using a fixed landscape cropper.
Please give me some ideas how to get rid of this annoyance.
Thanks!

Yeah. I get the same thing. Unfortunately I think it's an issue with QuickPic. I think its default is to assume that the homescreen is to use scrollable wallpaper, so when you swiped through your different homescreens the wallpaper would shift along with it. That's how it was on my previous phone (HTC Inspire). And it's not actually setting it to landscape by rotating the dimensions. It's setting the width at 2x the screen size. The screen dimension of my Inspire was 480x800. If I wanted to use scrollable wallpaper, I would choose an image 960x800.
Since the m7 doesn't use scrollable wallpaper in the stock launcher (and I don't think there's an option to turn that on, but I could be wrong), QuickPic kinda screws that up. So it's better to use the stock Gallery app to set wallpaper. It will set the correct aspect ratio with the crop tool. Open the Gallery app, find the pic you want to use then set as Wallpaper (not QuickPic Wallpaper). Or you can go into System Settings>Personalize>Wallpaper, Select Wallpaper from Gallery.
On a related note, some 3rd party launchers allow you to set the wallpaper to be a single screen or scrollable. I use Go Launcher and if I have it set to single screen, I can use QuickPic to set the wallpaper and it sets the crop tool with the proper portrait aspect ratio.
Thanks, sharksfan7! I figured it might be something of the sort. I'll send a note to the QuickPic developer, maybe he/she will be able to sort this in a future update.

However, that brings me to my second question: the stock Gallery app does not open if I browse to the pic in QuickPic and try to set it as a "Wallpaper". Any idea what might be causing this? Anyone?

Noticed that as well. Again, probably a QuickPic issue. If you have Google+ installed you'll probably see a "Wallpaper" option using Google Pictures in that Set As list as well. If I select that, the whole thing just crashes.
If you go directly into the Gallery when you want to set wallpaper it works as it's supposed to.

Strangely after reading this, I went to QuickPic to have another go at setting a wallpaper and the 'crop box' was in portrait mode! Either coincidental or random update or I just chose the right picture!!
Hi there
Setup is the following:
Device: OPO of course
ROM: stock CM11S (4.4.4.)
Launcher: Buzz Launcher 1.6.6.04
Zooper PRO & Zooper Free
As You can see from the attachment, there are two "time" widgets:
Both are created from Zooper's template.
Both widgets have absolutely the same settings and attributes.
The only difference is that one is created via PRO and other via FREE version.
The problem is that ANY widget that is created with Zooper PRO doesn't update/refresh properly - You can see from the attachment that the PRO widget hasn't been updated/refreshed.
The only time when it DOES refresh is:
upon reboot
when Zooper PRO is opened and closed
Any reason why you have both the free and pro versions installed? This might be the cause why one updates and the other doesn't.
Does the pro version update when you have only the pro widget? Does it update when you uninstall zooper free?
I use zooper pro.

I uninstalled them both and reinstalled PRO: it seems to work now, just that sometimes widgets disappear: for example, I have 3 Zooper widgets on one screen, when I edit one of them, the other 2 disappear sometimes. Wierd

That is weird, indeed. Haven't seen this behavior. Might have to do something with launcher cache or something. Or just Zooper trying to update the modified widget and canceling out the other ones while it's doing so.

It isn't just "canceling" other widgets, it's actually deleting it entirely. For example, AFAIK, when you have a widget from application "A" on your screen, then you uninstall that application, the widget CONTENT is deleted, but the "silhouette" of the widget still remains, saying something like "cannot find application", or something like that. What I'm experiencing with Zooper is a situation that, sometimes (randomly maybe), it deletes the CONTENT of the widget and also deletes that remaining "silhouette" itself.
What I know for sure is that there isn't any ROM-related error, cache error, or anything like that - I flashed (fastboot) all the partitions from the official factory image, so everything on that side is ok.
What You sad is what I think also: kind of heavy" editing - when, after editing, you exit Zooper widget menu, and do it over and over again, edit-exit-edit-exit... it automatically updates every widget everytime it exits, and maybe there is that random error that happens.
Workaround: full screen widget (excluding notification bar and dock). But as I read on few posts - it gets kinda buggy if put fullscreen. But will try it nonetheless.
For now, thank You anyway
