This would be helpful at times... I usually just end up pressing home and selecting the Gmail widget from there but I've gotten used to long-pressing home to get to recent apps. Could it be due to the fact that I get to email using the widget? Does it work with the native email client or other email apps?

I installed some widgets from the Loop Habit Tracker onto the home screen of the Nova Launcher. Unfortunately, the font size of the text in the widgets is too small. I tried increasing the setting at Nova Launcher --> Settings --> Home screen --> Layout --> Label --> Size. This did not change the size of the text in the widgets. I think this setting only impacts the size of the labels for the apps. How can I resize the text in a widget?

I recently got a tablet called Android Tab 10 Lite with Android 14. I tried adding widgets, but couldn't find the button. I looked in the instructions manual and it was there, but I couldn't see it on my screen. I factory reset it and shut it down twice and still it's not there. I really want to decorate my tablet and I can't without widgets.

Following my previous question on how to make the weather widget work again on my Samsung Galaxy Alpha, I have researched about app reverse engineering including Java and Smali as suggested by the answer there. By following this tutorial , I was able to get to the Smali code, make a slight modification to it which I hope will resolve the javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match error I was getting, and then get to my modified and deodexed .apk. Essentially, the command I executed were:

7za x WeatherDaemon2014_LMR.odex.xz
oat2dex.bat WeatherDaemon2014_LMR.odex temp.dex
java -jar baksmali-2.0.3.jar -a 21 -x temp.dex -o deodex

At this point, I edited the \deodex\com\sec\android\daemonapp\ap\http\HttpClientThread.smali file. Then I executed the below, which gave me the deodexed .apk:

java -jar smali-2.0.3.jar -a 21 deodex -o classes.dex
7za u -tzip WeatherDaemon2014_LMR.apk classes.dex

I am however unfortunately getting a Class not found when unmarshalling: com.android.packageinstaller.InstallFlowAnalytics error when trying to install the modified APK. I have also tried uninstalling this system widget first with Titanium Backup, but the issue remains the same. (This actually corrupted the widget which couldn't be restored, and I had to re-flash the stock ROM to get back to the starting point.) Therefore rather than trying to install the APK, my goal is now to directly replace the WeatherDaemon2014_LMR.odex.xz file located in /system/app/WeatherDaemon2014_LMR/arm/, hence my question of how I could re-odex my APK. I have tried to follow this tutorial but am getting a only position independent executables (PIE) are supported error in step 6. Then I tried the solution here , but am getting the same error in step 5. Researching this error leads to suggestions to compile with the -fPIE option enabled, but I am unsure how and where to do this. Can anyone familiar with app reverse engineering suggest a way forward? Is there a simple way I can get to a .odex.xz file from my modified APK? Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, or if anything I said above isn't making sense, as I am still new to reverse engineering.

The integrated weather widget (AccuweatherPhone2014_S_LMR_HD.apk) stopped showing up-to-date weather data on my Samsung Galaxy Alpha (SM-G850F) when I had to update it from Android 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 a while ago. I have tried deleting cache and data, but all it did is erase the cities I have saved there, and which I am not able to get back. Now it reads "Tap here to add a city" and when I do this it keeps saying "location error" or "network connexion error": I get the following error message in the LogCat: ADVHTTP IOException javaxnetsslSSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match: != OR OR OR OR OR javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match: != OR OR OR OR OR Note that this is the same error as when I still had the city data and tried to refresh the weather. My first step would be to at least get the cities and clock back in the widget, and then if possible resume the weather feed. My questions would be: 1. Does anyone know what is causing this error above? (Why would it expect "a248eakamainet" or a variant of it as the host name?) 2. How can I can potentially resolve it myself (e.g. by using a proxy or installing a certificate)? 3. Failing this, is there a way I can set the city myself by amending the files in there manually, such that at least the clock works (summer time icon etc.) and the city name shows? Not sure if it helps but the file structure in the widget folder is as below:

/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather/cache/com.android.opengl.shaders_cache
/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather/databases/WeatherClock
/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather/databases/WeatherClock-journal
/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather/databases/worldcity.db
/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather/databases/worldcity.db-journal
/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather/databases/files/rList-com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather.menu.MenuAdd
/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather/shared_prefs/config.xml
/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather/shared_prefs/pref_widget_count.xml

(I was able to explore the worldcity.db database using DB Browser and can see all cities data are there.) I am not a developer but have some knowledge in programming, my phone is rooted and I am somewhat familiar with running commands via ADB (I recently managed to solve a keyboard language issue myself by extracting files from a stock ROM ). My phone can access the Internet without any issues, both via WiFi and mobile data. Things I have tried so far to no avail: - Delete cache and data of the weather app. - Update the weather app (version stayed at 150901.800410 despite the "App installed" message). - Manually update the certificates in my phone by following steps described here . - Contact AccuWeather support, their reply was that "The preinstalled application on your phone was developed by a 3rd party manufacturer, with AccuWeather supplying the underlying weather data. The manufacturer is responsible for databasing, displaying, and formatting this data, as well as ensuring it is up-to-date and cached properly.". I did not contact Samsung this time as they were unable to help with the keyboard language issue I had previously. (At this point this is probably obvious, but I thought I would also mention that I am not interested in alternative weather widgets. I am also well aware that this is an old unsupported phone, but there are personal reasons why I want to make it work. I see this as a personal challenge.) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

On my friend's Redmi 7A phone, this widget newly appeared on the home screen, probably after a system update. It looks like a little white arc or fingernail clipping on the screen border. Pulling it out shows a circular button with a circle symbol, and tapping that gives the array of buttons in the pic below. We could not identify it in the widget list (homescreen long tap), it cannot be dropped onto the Delete caption, and Google Lens found no instance of my picture. How to get rid of this?

I would like to add a widget with **one** clock in a different timeeone. The Clock app allows to either add one clock in your current timezone, or two clocks in different timeeones. Is there a way to add a native widget with **a single clock** in another timeline? If not, do you know about such an app (the ones I found are optimized for 2+ clocks, keeping ones click takes extra empty screen real estate)

I would like to add a widget to my home screen. According to the official help page , I should touch and hold an empty space, and then tap "Widgets". However when I touch and hold an empty space on the home screen, there isn't any "Widgets" button, all I see is "Home settings" and "Wallpapers". However, I found a screenshot on internet where that button is clearly visible, the problem isn't that I'm looking in the wrong place. My phone | Screenshot of someone else's phone I found on internet ---------|-------------------------------- | So it seems like this "Widgets" buttons exists on other phones, but it's disabled on my phone for some reason. I tried googling for why this button could be disabled, but I couldn't find anything related to my problem. I also tried clicking on "Home settings" to see if there was anything related to widgets in there, but there wasn't. I also tried opening the settings app and searching for "widgets" in the search bar, but it didn't give any results. In case it matters, I'm using a Motorola Moto E6i. Why is that "Widgets" button disabled and how do I enable it?

I have a X55 android version 12 I lost my widgets when I had to do a factory reset, is that why? It never happened before.

As far as I remember, I've always been able to add a 1x1 Contact to a folder: simply create a 1x1 Contacts Widget and then move it to a folder. I still have some here, and are just working: However it seems like I don't have that option anymore: Online sources are completely useless, as they are either too old, or they don't take into account the "putting it into a folder" step (they suggest to add the big widget and then resize it, but it doesn't go into folders).

When I long press on the Home screen, I am offered a "Choose Wallpaper From" menu. Everything I've looked at says I should be able to add Widgets here also, but nope. Widgets are not automatically added when I install one, and I've been through the Settings pretty thoroughly without seeing a mention of Widgets. What am I missing? I have a Nexus 4 running 4.3.

I have the Asus Transformer running Android 4.1.1. I'm trying to use the email widget to check my mail. When I enter in my account information, I get a screen that looks like this: All my settings work in any other mail client, but I'd obviously prefer to use this one. Anyone else have this problem?

I would like to have some value from a cell in a google spreadsheets that is displayed on my android phone, a little bit like a KPI that I can track. So I thought that there must be a way to add this as a widget. Only thing I found that seemed to be working was "Meta Widget" but the app is not on the play store anymore (ref: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/160505/show-a-piece-of-a-google-spreadsheet-document-on-andriod-main-screen) . Any ideas on how to achieve this currently? Thanks!

Using s21, most recent update 01/04/2022. This has been happening for a while. When I use the Google search bar widget (not the chrome app), the first time I type something into the search bar, it'll either quick close and reopen the keyboard and then I can continue typing, or it'll just close my keyboard and I'll have to hit the search bar again to continue typing. This usually alternates between being fixed with one software update then re-broken in the next, but not always, and it only happens in google. Nothing I've done has fixed this, and it only happens on the first search when I open google, it won't do it again until I close and reopen it.

I have a Pixel 7. I have typically been able to just go to the search bar on the bottom screen of my phone and say set an alarm and it always set an alarm. Now it's sending me to a website. Is there any way to take it back to just setting the alarm?

1. Using 2 (LINKED) Android Tablets (1-older & 1-new). 2. Recently BOTH tablets have displayed - The screen photo in a semi-negative appearance (appx 1/2 colored) & - Widgets/icon buttons are nearly all black & white with a little touch of color in some. (Ex: Google Gmail button has a black circle, white center & semi-colored letter.) 3. Have turned Dark Mode OFF, checked Wallpapers & Contrasts but they appear ok. Rebooted too. How do I change this back to normal or is it corrupted &/or non-repairable?

I have already used this website to determine that I cannot put widgets on my home screen because of the version of Android Go I have installed. What version or launching app in general would be the best option all around and of course would allow me to have widgets.

I am running Android 12 on a Realme 8 5G phone. When using the SMS application, it is possible to schedule a text message (for instance, it might be night, and you don't want to wake the receiver up, so you schedule it to be sent automatically during the day). However, it may be, that the phone powers off, and, then, the user is asked whether to send the message when powered on or if it is sent automatically if not too late (as configured in the global app or per message settings). However, you can do better: on the lock screen, you can display an icon saying that a message is to be sent, so, that the user, may not disconnect the phone from the charger, play a video that sucks out the battery, place the phone on the sofa, and then the message is sent late. Instead, if an icon is placed on the home screen, the user will not view the video, and the phone will stay connected to the battery charger, (and, in the morning, when the time to send the message comes, the message will be sent, unless there is a power outage). Next to the icon, there should be a queue scrollable horizontally, but for this purpose, where you can also view the exact times when the message is pending (and, decide, this way, whether to disconnect the phone from the plug and view a bit of video far away from the plug in the wall, or not). In this case, if the phone has an LED, you may want to leave it on during charging or change its color (and the screen could be blanked instead of turned off with an icon displayed, but this could be configured in the app (which would need to be given a special Android permission to do this). Is this functionality available in Android?

Let's say I created a recurring event in my calendar, e.g. start begin of this year, end is end of this year, running every Monday evening at 18:00 Does anybody know a possibility to get information for the current day like - 20 events had been finished - 32 events are still remaining Of course, it would work only with appointments having a start and an end date. I found a lot of countdown apps, however they are counting the number of years/months/days/etc. till a specific event will happen. They don't count the number of remaining recurring events.

I have a Cricket phone and it is called U319AA. For some reason, when I hold down on my phone's home screen, the only buttons that pop up are home settings and wallpapers. This is a picture of my phone showing that when I press my home screen, there is no widget button and just settings and wallpaper. I looked it up on Google and nothing on there helped me. I see that other phones have a widget button and I do not. This is another phone showing that I have done everything right but still can not find it. I was concerned and I don't know if it's common and if all phones are supposed to have it or if some phones are supposed to not have it. I was trying to look for ways to get my widget button and I cannot find one. I'm hoping that someone can answer my question and help me.
