Hi,
I'm using a sidebar that supports widgets, and nova launcher.
I'd like to add a clock widget that, when tapped, will bring me to the app drawer and home screen. Nova launcher has the option to add such shortcuts, but I'm unable to find a clock that utilizes them, besides digi clock (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sk.michalec.SimpleDigiClockWidget), that I'm already using it in another configuration, and it doesn't support multiple instances.
So, does anybody know a clock with shortcuts, other than digi clock?
How about UCCW. It has configurable hotspots. What sidebar are you using?

Thanks.
But UCCW, as nitpicky as it sounds, doesn't allow for 24 hour format.
I'm using appsi: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsimobile.appsi
take a look at HD widgets, it has plenty of clock/weather widgets, and you can set up for example the clock to open your alarm app, and the weather display to open your preferred weather app.
And you can choose 12/24 clock format

I am trying to use the Lunar Mclock theme and the Beautiful Widgets weather widget together. When I drag the clock over the weather widget to resize it the weather widget stays ontop of the clock for a while but after turning on and off the phone a couple of times it goes behind the overlapping clock so it is partially hidden even though the clock is somewhat transparent. Because of this can't tap the weather widget only the clock widget. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I hope the makes sense. Thanks
Never mind I figured it out with the help of this link.

I just needed to add the widgets in a different order.
So I'm redoing my home screen, and I want to have a few text icons that take me directly to specific home screens. Apex launcher has action shortcuts for this, but they are only 1x1. I cannot use widgets to get these actions... I have to use shortcuts. I have done what I want with 1x1 shortcuts, but they are just too small for my taste. I really want 2x1 shortcuts. I have not been able to figure out how to make them with either Simple Text or Desktop Visualizer.
Any suggestions?
I have exactly the same question. Did you ever find a solution?
edit: I found a clunky work-around by taking advantage of the fact that Apex lets you overlap widgets. I made a totally hidden apex action shortcut by removing the shortcut text and using a transparent icon that I made with Simple Text (careful with these, because if you forget where they are on your homescreen they're hard to find!). Then I put a 2x1 Simple Text widget (that does nothing) over the top. The problem of course is that the shortcut only works if you press the 1x1 area where the apex action shortcut is!
I want to switch to either apex or nova but I really like the accuweather widget, is there a way to use it with a different launcher?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download The Weather Channel. Done! Or get HD Widgets, it has 3 weather services in the clock widget and it is easy to make your own widget or use the random button.
Apex/Nova/GO does not work with TouchWiz/Sense/Blur widgets.
Fancy widgets, beautiful widgets, hd widgets all have virtual copies of the sense clock / weather / accuweather.
I have beautiful widgets and I dont see anything close to the accuweather widget.
I would also like that widget to use on Go launcher
Hi everyone,
So I was wondering if there's anyway to change the settings so that the clock widget (I'm using the analog one) will open the clock app when clicked on instead of the clock settings kinda like the beautiful widget one.
Thanks!

The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a weather widget that works great, however it has an unnecessary clock included in the widget, with no alternative that doesn't include the clock. Importantly, the stock weather widget has a refresh "button" on the bottom right of the widget, which allows the temperature to be updated without having to open the AccuWeather app (or the default stock rendition of it).
I have tried other weather widgets, such as Beautiful Widgets, HD Widgets, and AccuWeather App. However, none have the ability to refresh without opening the app. I saw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601134, but the apps mentioned have issues according to the latest reviews, perhaps because they are no longer being developed
Can someone suggest a weather widget that:
Allows refreshing of the temperature/weather by tapping somewhere on the widget
Takes no more than a 2x1 area
And is preferably free
