What does the video player widget do? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As far as I can tell all it does is show a screenshot of the current position in a video. Is there anything else to it?

No. It's one of those useless widgets that take up screen space.

Shortcut to your favorite videos. Kind of what bookmark widget is...

Display appointments on homescreen?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to display my upcoming apointments on the lockscreen. I heard there was a app that could do this, but I forgot the name and I can't find the link anymore at the forum it was posted. I found some other apps but they don't seem to work with sense.
If somebody knows a way to do this, please tell me. Opening the calander is annoing and I want to see what I got coming up when I wake up the phone. The screen is just being empty anyway
why dont you place calendar widget on the main screen? the same thing, but you just have to unlock the phone..
Because there is not enough room. I got the clock/weather thing there and 8 shortcuts to the apps I use most (phone, contacts, internet etc) so there is no room left to place a widget. I now got the small calender widget on the next panel along with apps I user a bit less often. Its not ideal but I guess I have to manage as I learned creating a lockscreen app is pretty much impossible as there are no options for this in the SDK.
For me it works a lot better to have it on the lockscreen because that way I can see what appointments I got without having to do anything. I will see it everytime I turn on the phone which is a great way not to forget.
Is is worth to find a room for 4x1 widget and you can use e.g. "Agenda Widget". In 4x1 widget it's showing 4 next appointments and for me it is great.
That might work. What is the name? If I search agenda widget in the market I can only find things like calender widget.
Even if the topic is old, I think that others looking for it can find it useful. In my opinion, this the best calendar/appointment widget set. A lot of customizations and flexibility.

[Q] GAllery Album Shortcuts On Homescreen

I was wondering if it is possible to put shortcuts to specific albums in the stock honeycomb gallery on the homescreen? I know I can use the picture frames but I was wondering if there were any other options.
I like the speed and functionality of the stock Gallery app, but I hate the lack of options. Someone should make a sweet widget for albums that is basically a whole page on the homescreen.

[Q] Widget? PDF library scrollable widget

Yo-
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a widget, similar to the stock YouTube scollable widget, that would allow me to scroll through a folder of PDFs. Ideally it would use previews of page 1 as the widget picture.
That would be awesome.
Thanks.

Google play music widget

Is there anybody out there who knows how to change this ugly google play music widget. Funny thing is its fine on nova launcher the album art is a little square to the left. Now with my tw launcher it's the top part of the widget that constitutes the album art and it's just a flattened picture. I hate it. Is there a way to fix that? Maybe with a build.prop edit or something?

Please help me with my music widget

Hi there
Ive just got into heavily theming my homescreen to my liking. I really need a widget in my homescreen but the widgets CM music player has to offer are quite ugly. I need a widget that just shows the regular buttons (next, pause/play and previous) and the title, album and artist name on it. I wan to be able to choose the color of the text and have a transparant background. Now this is easily doable with a widget from Poweramp as shown in the attached screenshot. It looks just the way I want it to look but there is a MAJOR problem: I just simply can't live with any other music player than the one CM has to offer. Im in love with it and I hate all others. period. Dont ask me why but I think Poweramp has a rather weird and annoying interface and navigation. Play music also doesnt do it for me.
Now my final question is: Is there a way I can get such a widget for CM music? Or to get the Poweramp widget the work for the CM music player? (The widget is from a different amp than the Poweramp app itself so I tought maybe this might be doable). Ive messed around with Zooper a bit but I cant find a way. People also mention media utlities a lot but I cant seem to make it work with CM music and it also doesnt let me make the widget I want.
So all my questions:
Is there a music widget like the one in the screenshot that works with CM music?
Can I make the Poweramp widget work with CM?
Is there a way I could make one myself with Zooper widget?
Thnx in advance!
