Hey, I'm using Nova launcher as default home but I found out that whatever weather/clock widget I use, it doesn't get updates unless I clicked once on it!
Is this related to Marshmallow? Any solution?
You need to change battery restriction for widgets, so it will update in realtime
I already did that for x-widget which I use, but still the same issue!
Add autostart permission too

I can't get widget locker to work on the Nook. I installed it, and go to add a custom slider but something times out when selecting the app shortcut.
Has anyone had any luck?
This is due to the stock firmware not having the application picker service.
This is fixed in the beta, which also gives a bigger grid for widgets.
I'm assuming the beta you speak of is a beta android operating system for the nook by the XDA crew?
No, beta of Widget Locker. Just avoid messing with shortcuts until it releases.
When I try to add a zoomed widget in the same area as my weather widget, the weather widget was pushed off the screen and I can't get it back. Sure I can just try to make a new one but it's still running somewhere off the screen. Is there a way to list all widgets you have on screen? And delete them in that list? Or from a list default them to center of screen? I know the themer widgets can stack so why are they moving on their own? This is especially true if I try to edit a theme I download. As soon as I press configure or resize or add something the theme goes ape **** and everything just moves. Not using a custom dpi. Stock Rom galaxy note 3.

Hi vitessex,
We're not too sure how this happens, as testing it now reveals that a widget cannot push another one off the screen. However in your unlucky case, we suggest going into Themer's main settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Allow overlapping Widgets. This should then just cause the widgets to overlap instead of jumping around.
Which downloaded themes are causing this? Most new themes should have the overlapping widget setting enabled to prevent this issue.

It seems to do it with all the themes I have downloaded. And even happened on the one I am making myself. But currently I will show an example with the theme "Coordinate." The overlapping Widgets option is enabled and this is what happens when I add a widget or edit in any way really.

I see. There might have been a bug during installation. Try this:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
Let me know how this goes.

Hi,
I really love the look of the TouchWiz Widgets-
I found several touchwiz exclusives...
- Weather
- Calendar
- Location
- Magnifier
And I really love my Action Launcher 3. But I cannot have those widgets on Action Launcher...
Of course, I can install the 3rd party apps. But Weather widget will not be coherent with the weather in my lock screen and edge screen.
I am not going to get the Magnifier widget.
I googled a lot but I couldn't find the solution. Anyone knows how I can bring the widgets to the 3rd part launchers?

Unfortunately this is generally not possible, as the widget hooks into the launcher itself and probably does not present itself as available to other launchers the way a normal widget does. I wish it were possible but I'm afraid it's not.

I see. I decided to use Action launcher with 3rd party apps...
By the way, I am from GS3 and I really love the TouchWiz Calendar. It has weather icons inside.
Hey Guys,
I've got a Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi version which has been rooted and had Timurs kernel installed.
I've installed Nova Launcher and UCCW. I've used UCCW to create a widget but each time I select the UCCW widget and try and drop it on the launcher screen the whole tablet crashes and reboots, I've forced stop and cleared data on both the launchers and its still not working.
If I use a system widget or other widget like 1weather etc then its fine but any of the UCCW widgets fails
Can anyone help me please?
I have a workaround suggestion. Try Total Launcher. It is like the launcher version of UCCW, allowing the building of themes similarly to UCCW but with full launcher functionality. You could very easily recreate your current Nova theme and UCCW widget all in one app.
Sorry I can't tell you how to fix things to use Nova and uccw, but, hopefully this suggestion can get you by until you do get it solved. And who knows, maybe you'll like TL enough to keep using it (I certainly haven't found anything to even compete with it yet).
I'm pretty certain its using the stock AOSP lock screen, but the enable widgets option and add widgets screen are missing. If I long press on the one widget that's there (Lenovo's clock widget), the arrange widgets screen or whatever its called comes up, but there's only one widget on it (the clock) and no plus button. Is there any way I can force enable this? Something in build.prop, or maybe an xposed module (I have xposed framework installed)? This isn't a huge issue, the music and alarm widgets show up when their associated apps are being used, but it would be nice to replace the music and clock widgets with CyanogenMod cLock and Apollo (I copied the APKs off of another tablet running CM11 from /system/apps and installed them on the Lenovo, they work great so far even though its running the stock ROM), or be able to swipe through my emails and calendar events without unlocking the screen. I won't bother asking for a Cyanogen lock screen apk to replace the stock lock screen, since I searched through the system files and Google and can't find evidence that such a thing exists, but it would be awesome if it was floating around somewhere.
