Hi, is there any way to display current state of pedometer as a widget? Something like built in pedometer clock, but without the clock, and maybe with a personalized icon. Perhaps a Zooper widget?

All data for the pedometer is placed in /data/data/com.sec.android.app.pedometer/databases/pedometer.db so making a simple widget thats updated when you turn the screen on would be a piece of cake...

Pretty please with a cherry on top ^^
Would it be possible to add start/pause button as well without entering the app itself?

To read the data from the db is a simple task, to alter the info of the application is a different thing.
I´ll have to take a look in the pedemometer.apk to see if I can find any intents that support external triggering.

I´m planning to start the work of a test-version of a Pedometer widget today. I´ll post here when I got something worth testing.
Sadly I haven´t found anything usefull yet regarding the start and stopp. I concentrate to get the visual first and will digg deeper later on.

I'we done some testing with different results. Seems like the pedometer gets disturbed sometimes and stops counting until I enters the pedometer app again. But have only tested a little inside, no long walks outside so it may just be a lag in the update.
I can release an alpha just for testing purposes. I'll try to get it out tonight.

Here is a first output as a test:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9508466/WalkWidget_v0.1a.apk
Update of the count is done upon Screen on or tapping the widget.
The total is a addition of Run steps, Walk steps and something called Up & Down steps, doesn´t really know what the last is but it´s a counter anyways.
Try it and see how it behaves.

That sounds pretty awesome and I'd like to thank you for working on this.
To me the pedometer app seems really limited. I can't see what I did the day before, or how well I'm doing over all on a weekly or monthly average since it doesn't seem to return any data beyond just one day. Is that kind of a thing something you'd be willing to address maybe as part of a non-widget screen in your widget? (like tap the widget to go in to see more verbose stats)

Does anyone know of a good widget calender app that will show the date? There is tcalendar, which is exactly what I'm looking for, but doesn't seem to work on the Hero.
If anyone knows of anything similar, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks..
Marc
check pure calendar widget. one of my favorites
http://koxx3.wordpress.com/
Thanks for the reply, but I'm looking for one that just today's date and once you tap on it, it takes you to your calendar.
Thanks..
I downloaded tCalendar as well because of the day/date display. That bit works but it does not launch the calendar app. I left a comment in the Android Market to that effect and hopefully it will get fixed.
Yeah, I got the same thing. It's exactly what I'm looking for, if it just launched the calendar app.

Might be missing the point here, but...
The HTC widget shows the date (both the small and large versions) and when you tap the date it opens the Calendar app.
Thanks..that is helpful, yes. But, was hoping there was just a small icon.
Thanks..

Me too. I want the icon to display the correct date AND launch the calndar app.
Not sure why my original thread was taken down but if it was because of "warez" it's crap. Go take down every other rom (including the sprint hero dump) that's "illegally" distributing apps and EVERY single windows mobile rom.
heres the goods:
Mod Edit: Links removed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4746727&postcount=110
Btw if any mod feels the need to pull this thread again please pm a reason to why it was pulled.
DO NOT PM ME ASKING FOR THESE APPS
search around for them!!!
i believe it WAS taken down because you've kept the original provider in the app names. i'm not a mod or whoever took it down so i dont know but thatd be my best guess. i remember seeing in the previous thread, i could quote someone saying "it's just a matter of time but good job till then!" or something along those lines. good job indeed! and so glad this is back up.
with that said i have an issue with the navigator:
i have it said on full audio, but theres no TURN voices. JUST STREET names. its really accurate on the street names. and the directions are perfect. but is is just me, or is the audio missing turn direction voices????
Hey, can anyone please tell me how to remove some of the apps from here, for example the sprint TV does not work at all and I don't want to see it in my apps how to I remove it?
Also, how do you guys got past the validation thing in the NFL app?

Anything special you have to do to get the tv app to work or is there something temporarily wrong with the connection right now? thanks
Sprint TV does work...
Its has been my experience (1 whole day) that the sprint tv stops working when you take the widget off the main home page. as long as I keep the widget on the main page, my tv has been working.
try that. might take a reset, erase widget and replace, and another reset, but it worked everytime the tv stopped working. ever since I left the widget on the main home screen it has been working fine.

Tried this a couple times to no avail. keep getting "channel listing is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
edit: saw the other thread on this. moving over there.
for me what i did was simply download, install, put widget on screen, reboot, works. but use the widget to get to the app. meaning click on the widget and it should take you to the tv app. if it still doesnt work, too bad. seems to be working at different times for people, and since tmobile networks sucks sometimes, could be that. idk lol!
so should i download tv widget .apk or tv apk or both ????? just want to do it right the first time...lol

sounds like both since it seems you need the widget.
TV works. Like everyone else said put the widget on your screen. Even after I did that it took a day for the TV to start working so be patient it's worth it.
Ok just installed both apks .. put the widget on my screen so now i just wait ??? the widget did say something about hanna montana..lol but wont load any channels yet ....

To be honest once I got home I forgot all bout it. I just tried it this morning and it worked.
has anyone tried out the navigation app yet? I always get a message saying no gps data found.
I've been able to get the TV, NFL and GPS apps tow work. Just took some patience and rebooting, otherwise works great!
cm 4.0.4
NFL, NASCAR and TV are working great. Has anyone figured out how to get the navigator working? It doesn't seem to work when I am still, but if I am driving it will give me turn by turn very nicely, recalculate routes quickly and everything, but only while driving.
Anyone else having this problem?

I'm interested in this as well. I have TuneIn Radio installed, and always get the option to open that or Clock, but that's it. If nothing else, I'd like to open a slideshow or news reader.

FYI, I did find a thread on another board that suggested Desk Clock Plus... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DevBob.DeskClockPlus. I can't try it out now, but it's supposed to show up as an option when you start charging on the TS

I've been waiting for an Android app that does the picture slide show like WebOS pretty much since CM9 came out for the Touchpad.
Maybe one day!

check out Desk Clock Plus that i mentioned above. I got to play with it a little last night, and there's an option to do a slideshow. unfortunately, idk how many more goodies we can expect to see for our old beloved touchpads.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Seems to need a load of permissions considering it's application (a clock) - I'm always wary of an app that wants loads of permissions and especially control of things like system settings without proper explanation, etc.

Yeah, I hear ya. It has a ton of different settings, I think including stuff like changing the lock screen and display/screen timeout, which I assume that is for. I wish there were more fine-grained permissions sometimes, or a way to disable certain ones and still have the app work, just not the particular feature that the permission relies on. I believe in CM that's possible at least to some extent.
Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to make the Accuweather widget to update the location automatically ?
I come from a Note 2 which widget automatically updates its location, and it is something I lack.
Of course the possibility to pickup something from the Play Store remains but still I would be keen to use
the genuine apps.
thx !
I would like to know this too! Cant get it to update location

Ditto, I like the weather widget would like to stick with it. Anyone?

On my one you click on the app which makes the settings appear in the top right corner, then you can set it to use your location every half hour, you also have to allow location services in phone settings.
Edit...
Ah ok I see what you're saying, after coming to work my phone still says my old location and I've been here more than half an hour, but even then it's not exactly accurate.

Thank you for your reply. I have already done that. the weather forecasts and trends are updated every hour (it's the way I have set it up) but not the location.
The Sony-built-in News/Weather widget allows this, by the way. There is Accuweather and then there is "News & Weather". See if that works for you.

yes I'll give it a try !
Even if the Sony widget is quite ugly !
Indeed, the Sony widget is updating its location. I'm going to stick with it a bit.
I have a LG G watch R since yesterday. I have been trying out all te functions and different apps but I can't seem to get it to make an appointment in my google agenda. I have tried saying different things using google Now but the only thing i get it to do is to view my agenda for today. Is there a way to make entry's in my agenda using the smartwatch?
I'm still trying to find out how everything works.
Use an app like "CalenGoo" and you can add calendar event and also Task.
Thank you for your reply. So at the moment the watch can't do this by itself? It needs an app for that? That sounds strange to my but i guess i will look into that suggested app. Thanks.

Try saying "Agenda for March" - it showed up next weeks appointments (test entries) for me - otherwise if you just say "Agenda" you get today only. If you say "Agenda for month" you get full size calendar page on the screen which you cant see - and a warning that it takes a long time to display.
Jeff
Yes you can display your event but not add event without specific app
