I've been searching around and I found a big thread on XDA with all the RRO Layers and Nav bars, but I haven't found a dedicated area outside of a Google+ page for Zooper widgets in .zw form for download. Is there a master thread or large thread where these are usually posted ?

Just a heads up: Zooper is "abandonware"
You can still use it, but it's no longer supported by anyone official. What does that mean on a practical basis?
No updates. So when the only reasonably accurate provider of weather data available for Zooper (Yahoo) changes its API, Zooper is not updated to follow suit, and you're left with no weather info worth a damn.
Replacement recommendation:
KWGT
Good luck!

Ao zooper is not used anymore? I never used it in the past but I just started looks like I'm late to the party. LOL. this was hot new stuff in 2013 when I first started using android. I noticed the yahoo weather doesn't work. Is KWGT like zooper?

Very very much. I have a Zooper widget on the Play store, and have converted my designs to KWGT with little difficulty.
Best part: weather info is from weather.com, which is more accurate than Yahoo!
bought it myself few weeks back and realized 3 days later that its totally worthless not to mention for the widgets to actually work you need to buy other apps as well... total rip-off!
i know that this is not an answer to the OP but posting it so others wont waste their money.

I get it. My storefront on Play clearly states you must purchase Zooper Pro for my widgets to work.
I'm debating whether or not to add text to my storefront indicating that Yahoo weather info is not available any longer on Zooper. Part of me wants to insert such a warning, the other part says it's not my responsibility to make statements on behalf of Zooper.

The weather issue seems easy enough to fix in the code, I wonder why Zooper dosen't fix it ? It looks like Zooper had an update March 16 ? What do you sell on Playstore ?

What did you buy ? KWGT ?
Was playing around with KLWP and KWGT during my lunch break. I didn't look at the tutorial videos, but it looks very confusing and complicated and a lot to take in. I may need to set aside some time where I can go over it again slowly.

KWGT isn't more difficult to use than Zooper. I just switched my main clock widget and made a few changes in less than 5 minutes.

Did you re-create your widget or were you able to upload it ? I have a widget that was pre-made in Zooper I'm not sure how to make and I'd like to try and transfer it to KWGT. I probably just need to mess around with it more.

Yeah, it SHOULD be an easy fix. But that's assuming there's someone around to fix it... And from what I've pieced together online, there isn't. By the way, according to the Play store, the last update is March 11, 2015.

I'm not going to speak for Seabro, but I recreated my widgets, I didn't upload them because KWGT does some things quite differently under the hood (scaling, positioning and text handling, so forth). There's some things that Zooper does better, but I feel KWGT does more things. Just my opinion.

Yeah, I recreated the widget. KWGT is pretty easy to use once you get used to it.

I'm getting my Droid this week, and was planning on getting Beautiful Widgets once I did. Unfortunately, HTC's C&D made LevelUp pull the app tonight. I was wondering if there was any way someone could make a backup of the app and post it for me to download and transfer it to my SD Card once I get it.
I'm not sure if this is allowed, but since the app is now pulled from the market and not available for purchased, I assumed it is.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out.
No wares aren't allowed on xda
I'm kinda impressed you're gonna get an Android phone and already know what widgets you want haha. Less it's not your first Android phone.
if you downloading beautiful widget for its htc style clock/weather, you can buy the alternative: weather widget (donate) which also comes with the clock and came out before beautiful widget and is still being updated (for now unless they get hit with a C&D too). for all the toggles widgets you can get those free here on xda skinned by manup. do a search.
Hope weather widget doesnt get hit up...but if they do I hope they only have to pull the default skin for the clock and weather and nothing else
I just flashed a new ROM and then read about the C&D on his Twitter... Gonna have to scour my laptop to try and find a backup now D:

Nope. It's my first. I'm sitting here with an unlocked iPhone 2G on T-Mobile, but I become eligible for an upgrade tomorrow. Waiting for news on the Nexus One, which appears to be headed to T-Mobile.

Any flip clock widget? That was the main reason I was interested in Beautiful Widgets; I wanted the clock to actually flip (I was under the impression it did).
Beautiful Widgets worked WAAAAAAAAAY Better than Weather Widget Donate, and got updated more.
Sad that they were bullied by C & D. If thats the case they should change the look and feel a little and re-up on the market. Lets see the designer of the original physical flip clock send a C & D to HTC for infringing on his design.

if you are interested in a flip clock that actually flips, check out this home replacement app (still beta):

I have the beautiful widget but my problem is that after I got the Cyanogen's 4.2.10.1 my phone was messed up and I had to do a fresh install and go to 4.2.9.1 I have a back up but the problem I am running into is that the forecast animations are not getting downloaded. I know those are free...does anyone have any clue how to get those????
I'm a HUGE fan of the weather, now that hurricane season is here, I will furiously keep my eyes to the sky. Are there any apps out there other than local weather apps to keep my eyes on tropics here or elsewhere?
edit: Sorry, here in Fl. or elsewhere.
There is a weather channel app I think, There's also the Beautiful Widgets, Weather Widgets..The List goes on.
But honestly, it's personal choice. I think those app and widgets give you Weather reports outside of your current country too.
Yeah, I know about those, I was thinking more along the lines of radar and tracking. I guess NOAA type stuff. Maybe too intricate for the average app programs.
NAVIGuide or something like that from the market

Weather Widgets allows you to set your weather to someplace other than you actually are. Just go into the settings.
Try Radar Now (think that's the name). Very basic app but it shows refreshed radar images extremely well.

I use radar now on a daily basis, I'm going to look into Naviguide next, Thanks.
Maybe a hurricane tracker app, I'm still searching. Reading as much as possible. Really want to learn to create things from scratch!
Thank you to all that have chimed in!!!
If you've installed a new launcher, you may find the same thing I did: it's pretty much impossible to get an image to not distort when used for wallpaper. I messed with this for hours.
Then I discovered the app Wallpaper Set and Save. It runs on the NC, and it does one thing: set wallpaper so it's not distorted. Perfect.
Can you post the apk?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Sure. Here 'tis.
Dolphin 4 set the wallpaper for me from an internet picture just fine, FYI.
This is only a work around though. I want undone whatever it was the launcher pro did or im going to flash my nook and start over.
I'd guess that Launcher Pro just undid whatever hackery B&N did to their rom to correct the natively terrible way android handles desktop images. This app just rehacks it.
Same issue
I had the same problem but what I did was just set launcher pro to show 1 col by 1 row then after the resize went back to 10 col by 10 rows. First pop-up the settings menu with the tiny little menu button between the battery and "U" buttons in the soft menu. Rows and columns are set in preferences>Homescreen settings.
Note this just got my icons back on screen but the wallpaper is still oversized.
Would a subforum for people who want to be LendMe friends be a good idea?
Or would it be better off here?
I think it would work out very well to separate the conversation so people can find people they want to lend books between. It didn't occur to me before for XDA because most of the forums have to do with phones that dont have this sort of social feature
just a thought

I'm certain a whole new website/forum will crop up with people willing to lend books to one another. The great thing about lending through the Nook is that you know you'll get your book back! (That is until someone figures out how to hack it to keep the book )

hey all,
So I received my S6 yesterday and have been spending the day setting it all to my liking. I have a Nexus 6 so ill be using the 20 day grace period to see if this phone is going to be the one i want to keep going forward.
I had the Note 4 and Galaxy s5 for a little bit and loved the S Health app/widget. the widget had the Coach by Cigna on it and could easily access the heart rate and pedometer info. I am using TW, havent done a thing to the phone but no matter what I do the S Health Widget only has the foot icon and step count....... What the heck happened to the awesome widget?? I failed to see a thread that discussed this so i figured I would give it a shot here...
Does anyone know how to get that widget back? I tried different launchers to see if that would help but it didnt... still only gave me the basic, ugly, useless 4x1 widget. Thanks in advance!! I attached the scrappy widget.
Love the forum... ive been browsing for years but never actually posted anything.
Guess no one likes S Health lol

The "temporary fix" is to uninstall the recent update. When the f**ktards at samsung made the app available via google store, they "updated" the interface, and now it looks like sh*t.
Uninstall the most recent update and don't update again until you can see if they redid the interface to be more attractive again. Its again the testiment to arrogant Ahole developers that think they have to materially change something by making it look less attractive or more like the latest microsoft windows trend.
In this case they took away a nice looking set of graphics, replaced it with a flat color box (or as in your case, the transparent one .. you do have that option transparent or solid green) and it looks like sh*t very disappointed.
Thanks for the reply. Still no fix to the widget so I guess unless I can install the note 4 version were screwed.

After you uninstall the newest version, you should have 5 widget options
if not familiar, to add a widget, long press on any page, click the "Widget" and then scroll backwards through the pages ("S" near the end of the widgets) until you get to S Health. It should appear to be at least 4 4x1 blocks, when you tap this, it should expand, and show you 5 widget options. The top two 4x1's show signa on them.

No luck. Still only rhe one 4x1 with just the steps. I'm returning the phone anyway. 20 day period almost up and I'll be sticking with the Nexus 6. Camera great, but phone is not.
Thanks for your help though. That's why this is forum is best.

I have been searching all day long for the widget used here. It is amazing and I am desperate to find it lol
Don't know what it is, but you can probably create something very similar in Zooper. No way to do feels like temp though.
May be Zooper Widget Pro 2.60 build 260016 helps? Look interesting...
Most likely zooper.....
Most likely its a part of a launcher..if you look at the bottom its way different then the stock launcher..look at some launchers with addons to it..

I have just built half of it using zooper, it's very alike, I'd definitely say this widget is made in zooper... I'll post a screenshot once I'm done...

it's the pixel 2 launcher app. Search for pixel 2 launcher no root on XDA.
It is in (FAV KWGT) app which is paid app.
So in order to get the widget and apply it, you need 2 paid apps.
1- KWGT Kustom Widget Pro ($4.49)
2- FAV KWGT ($0.99)
you will find the widget you're asking for among the widgets in the (FAV KWGT) app.
