[Q] Zooper Widget Pro refresh - ONE Themes and Apps

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

Flipclock

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.

[Q] Help with Beautiful Widgets Please

Thanks for the tip on the Pro Launcher!!! Still trying to get the clock face to show. What does the paid Pro Launcher do over the free version? I just noticed that there are 2 versions does it matter which to use?

The only thing Launcher Pro Paid version has is a few extra widgets and the ability to resize your current ones. If anything, purchase it to support the dev. He has put a lot into LP.
Ok I am rooted. I have launcher pro installed. (BTW why does it still ask to use the old launcher I thought it replaced the stock launcher?) I can get the weather widget to come up, but no matter what I do I cant get the clock to come up. I have no option to select it. I downloaded one skin that I liked from the program to play with (TransGalactic skin). I press and hold the screen but when I try and select widgets all that shows there is the weather widget in a couple of versions. Why cant I get this clock to work?? Sorry I am new to this phone and hope I am in the right place.
The clock is part of the weather widget. Also, to set LauncherPro as your default, hit your Home button, when the little dialogue comes up to ask which launcher to use, select the check box at the bottom that window and then select LauncherPro.

Ok stupid question on Pro Launcher. I want to get the paid version but I cant find it in applications to see if I can purchase it from within the app or do I need to redownload a paid version and uninstall the free one?
Select Beautiful Home WEather as a widget >>> This takes you to a settings screen with selections on clock skin and weather skin. Choose your display setup and save it.
And yes, you can purchase LauncherPro from within the application settings.
UGH I refuse to use Paypal. I have had to many bad experiences, is it possible to buy it thru the app store directly?

The only other way is with a CC. I also will not use paypal so am stuck with the free version. I asked about it and they said it was either PP or CC.

[Q] Using the Stock Weather Widget with a Different Launcher

When I picked up my S6E, I really liked the stock Weather widget that's part of TouchWiz. I always find myself back using Apex Launcher and my S6E is no exception. I've installed it and set it up just the way I like it and the one disappointment I have is the stock weather widget isn't available
When accessing widgets from the app drawer it doesn't even show. Long pressing on the home screen, and selecting widgets that way shows the "weather" widget as a 4 x 2 widget but regardless of where I try to put it - even on a clean screen gives me a "not enough space to place . . . " error. It's really a 4 x 1 widget.
I know there are options like Zooper widgets that have addons with a similar look but none has access to the built in Accuweather app.
Anybody figure out how to use the stock weather widget with Apex or any other non-TouchWiz launcher?
This would be awesome! !

I've tried to get it to work on both the GS3, GS4, GS4, Note 3, etc ... and nothing works...so definitely not a new problem! I was able to tear it apart enough on the GS3 to get it to show on Apex launcher ... but it wouldn't update, show location, or work when you clicked on it.
As to this point, I haven't found a widget I like more than the stock TW one. Beautiful Widgets used to have some nice looking ones, but honestly it's been about 3 years since I've even looked at the app so I wouldn't know what they've got these days.

Here's my solution, adapted from the discussion HERE. I use Zooper Widget Pro and the S6 Zooper Widgets Theme. It's by far the most spot-on widget compared to the actual stock version. In fact, from the stock clock and weather on the lock screen, you really can't tell the difference between it and the Zooper widget version.
1. Install Zooper Widget Pro
2. Install the S6 Zooper Widgets Theme
3. Install Desktop VisualizeR
4. Create a 4 x 1, 4 x 2, etc. Zooper Widget and select the S6 Widgets Theme. The widget option that looks exactly like the stock version is the one with a "45" in the title (the angle of the shadow)
Land it on the desktop one row below where you actually want to place it.
5, Long-press the home screen and select Applications - Clock ---> do this twice
6. Open Desktop VisualizeR and create a shortcut the following way: select a transparent image (attached below) as the shortcut Image. Click Select Action - Others - Activities - Weather - Weather. Title the shortcut "Weather". Select Apex Launcher as the target launcher ---> do this twice.
7. Now, long press on the 4 shortcut icons, one at a time and choose edit. Change the clock icons to the same transparent alpha you used for the Desktop VisualizeR shortcuts and delete the shortcut names. For the weather shortcuts, just edit and delete the names.
8. You're now left with for transparent shortcuts.
9. Long press the clock widget and select Resize. Using the nodes on the widget, move the top up and then the bottom.
You're left with the Zooper Widget with transparent shortcuts overlaid that open the clock and the stock weather app. There's a few shortcuts you can do like set the default click-on action in the widget settings to open the clock which will eliminate the need to add those two shortcuts but this way gives you a little more flexibility like assigning different actions to the hour and minute location.
Only very slight annoyance is that the widget uses open weather as the provider which sometimes slightly mismatches with accuweather re: location name and temperature.
Worked very well Jeff. Love it thanks.

[KWGT] Pixel Search and Weather Widget

For those who prefer custom Launchers.
I prefer to use Nova instead of Pixel Launcher but persistent Nova search bar is too small on my opinion and doesn't update weather correctly. So I made my own Pixel styled search widget for KWGT.
Widget is fully customizable so you can set it up as you want including all its layers, colour etc.
KWGT Kustom Widget Pro Key is required to load preset!
Download preset from Google Drive
Also if you have Tasker you can launch Google Now Weather using this task:
Code:
Action android.intent.action.VIEW
Cat Default
Data dynact://velour/weather/ProxyActivity
Package com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
Class com.google.android.apps.gsa.velour.DynamicActivityTrampoline

You need to install KWGT and move Google_Pixel_Search_Widget.kwgt into Kustom/widgets folder. Then choose KWGT4x1 widget from your widgets gallery and place it to the screen > "click to setup..." (it opens KWGT app) > Exported tab > Google Pixel Search Widget. That's all.

Ofc you're right. I missed that point - will add requirements.
UPD
Several cosmetic improvements.
How do I get mine to display like yours? Mine doesn't sit right at the side of the screen, and doesn't extend as far to the right.

Try to resize it right after placing into home screen. And also set Layer > Scale to 70.
Was an issue with sizing settings from within the KWGT app settings. Changed to auto resizing and it all looks perfect now.

By default it is set to launch Google News & Weather. So you should install this app or set TOUCH to launch another app, shortcut etc..

And why did you post it here? It has nothing to do with KWGT and btw is not available in some countries.
I love the widget but other weather on widget and other on the app

You can always choose another weather source or try different apps, shortcuts etc. for launching.
I'm using weather.com as a source and google now weather.
Can you please post a link to the wallpaper and icon packs that you used?
This is great!
Do you have any idea how to get it to open a Google search overlay like the Nova widget can?
I googled around and it said to use activity - Google - gsa.queryentry.queryentryactivity which comes close. It opens the overlay but also the app. I would love to faithfully reproduce the native widget so I can use a better weather source. Thanks!
Icon pack name?
Icon pack name?
Link not found ? Any mirrors ?

KLWP & Nova Launcher - Wallpaper Scroll Issue

Hi guys
I am reaching out to you guys because I haven't found an answer in the world wide web and probably some others would have the same problem as I have.
I recently installed KLWP app to customize my wallpaper. Problem that I am facing is that with no used Launcher (Nova, Apex, Evie) I can make my wallpaper scroll. Option is always on and I also checked that I have the same amount of pages in KLWP and my home screen. Not even with the standard launcher of P20 it's possible.
Does someone of you have a potential solution for me?
Thanks a lot for your help and best regards from Zurich
No solution, but the same problem on a P20 (not Pro). Tried to set a picture as wallpaper in Nova Launcher, but scrolling doesn't work. I also tried to force scrolling in the nova settings, but this crashes Nova.

I have a potential solution for you. I have had exactly the same problems like, as it seems, a lot of other Huawei users and nothing seemed to work. I then installed a bunch of different launchers and I finally got it working with Action Launcher. It worked out of the box, even tho if I made changes within the action launcher the KLWP became static again. I switched betwwen stock launcher and Action Launcher until I had my KLWP set up with all the settings I needed. You have to play around with that a little I guess, but I really think it will work for you.
The Launcher is this one.
Kind regards from Germany!
has there been any solution or work around for this? as i have a pretty cool setup i used for my previous sony xperia z2 and want to use it form y p20 pro but wall paper scrolling is integeral to it.
When you choose wallpaper click on the scrollable icon so it turns blue, your wallpaper is now scrollable when you apply it
I did the scrollable option in the standard launcher and it worked but I'm more interested in getting it to work using nova launcher. That's where everything seems to break down on me. Using standard everything works the way I want, just to complete the setup, I need to fully customize my app looks and shortcuts.
Same issue with Honor 10. Force scroll option on Nova Prime crashes the launcher.
Do you have the ability to select live wallpapers through the normal stock launcher?
As I've noticed on stock launcher the only live wallpapers you can see are the ones through Huawei's Theme App and no option to use external live wallpapers, so I wonder if this is the problem. I've emailed them and just waiting for a response as they state you should click on 'more' and then get option for live wallpapers in top right screen of which I don't, it's only the huawei theme app
Wallpaper scrolling works for me using Nova. I can also select external live wallpapers using Huawei's themes app.
If I use certain wallpaper apps to apply the wallpaper directly from their app, it doesn't work. But I found that once applied, I can then use nova wallpaper selector to reselect the same wallpaper from its 'history' options and this forces the wallpaper to now scroll.

I was on 156 and now on Android Pie EMUI 9. Scrolling still works for me. Stock theme.
On my side, i try to disable the wallpaper scrolling because when i set a static "portrait" picture, it zoom the picture and it's a mess >_< (nova launcher set in static wallpaper)

So you are on a totally different model/firmware as not all P20 Pro's are the same, it doesn't work on the CLT29-8.1.0.131 (C782)
Update: according to Huawei 3rd Party Live Wallpapers are not supported.
In response, please note that Google live wallpaper, KLWP or any other non Huawei themed live wallpaper are not supported by the device

I've not gotten Nova Launcher Pro to work. As others have stated, if I select Scroll Wallpaper to On, nothing happens. Just a static wallpaper. If I choose forced, it crashes.
The Microsoft Launcher works fine however. Just set a regular wallpaper to scrollable in the Huawei Wallpaper app, then you can apply KLWP. This has worked for me at least. The drawback of the Microsoft Launcher is that it doesn't have the workaround for the 5 second delay which is a pain. I've reported the issue to Microsoft a few times, both on the Google Group and Twitter, but so far, nothing.
SOLUTION :_Wallpaper scrolling in klwp
Its simple.... If u have 3 screen klwp live wallpaper jst save it from klwp and come to home screen(hope you have nova) then hold the screen untill it arrives to add screens.
Add 3 blank screens and feel the magic of klwp.
U must also enable wallpaper scrolling in nova settings
