Hey friends.
I'm a new father to a beautiful Samsung S9+ so I have just began to go through its amazing features and last but not least.. the camera! Whoo it's awesome, for being a phone.
But I wanna ask u about clocks.
Widget clocks and which ones are your favorite?
Thanks

Be careful with clock and weather widgets, many of them have trackers etc and use way too many permissions/battery etc. But there are lots that work as intended as well, just be alert!
huk kwgt - hundreds of clock widgets for KWGT, all customizable
Simple weather and Clock widget (no ads) - has some of the Pixel clock widgets and others, light and not power consuming
Lawnchair v2 - features the Pixel "At a Glance" clock, simple and cutting edge
For some clock designs, I've noticed ZEDGE has a nice selection as well. Good luck
I'm a fan of the good old Chronus!
More simple, than fancy.
Thanks for the warning. Had no idea about those things. But it all comes down to common sense I feel. I very rarely try a unknown app even from G play since I'm way to paranoid about malicious code. That's partly why I like to ask the community first which they like and such to gauge an idea over all the apps or themes out there.
Thanks for the tips I use the Chronus one right now!

Hi.
Does anybody know of a good calendar widget? I've tried some and most require you to use their calendar application. I personally prefer the calender app that comes stock with the vibrant and would like a widget that pulled info from there but looks more like the stock widget on vanilla android.

Im running "android agenda widget". It does exactly what i need and lets me view multiple calendars. Ita free btw

"Pure Calendar Widget" is one of the few paid apps that I have used the entire time since buying them when I had my G1 until now.
Extremely customizable and will allow you to use pretty much any calendar app.
Thanks guys, I'm downloading both right now.
I highly recommend Pure Calendar Widget as well.. excellent application and worth the $

So I bought pure calander widget, as well as messenger widget, very very nice. Granted theres a ton of options, too much to get into right now but so far so good. Nice way to spend the little bit of funds in my account. and the HTC sense skins are a nice touch.
*accidental doublepost, sorry.
The one that comes with launcher pro plus is pretty good. But if you don't use LP I guess its not too helpful.
using agenda widget
started using pure calendar widget today.
3 questions:
-i see someone mentioned you can make it htc sense like? i dont see how???
-when i rotate screen, the widget goes blank for about 2 minutes...not like a little lag and re-draw with takes seconds. it goes completely white for about 1 or 2 minutes, then it all comes back. any ideas?
edit, 1 more question:
-what is the difference between pure calendar widget and agenda widget? pros or cons of each?

You have the option to skin the app. At the bottom in the config screen theres the option to Continue and Skin. Thats where I found mine.
Also which launcher are you using? ADW has an option to enable and disable scrollable widgets, which might be the cause of your problem.
I recently discovered Jorte, which has a good amount of widgets and the calendar app itself is excellent and will fully replace the stock one (my preference) - but I'm pretty sure you can have it open the stock one. It can also sync with Google Tasks although it has to be done manually.
cool, thanks.
in LP, it enabled scrollable widgets and that has seem to fix the going blank problem.
but i think im going to try the agenda widget as pure calendar widget just slows my phone WAY down. It just slows everything down. maybe if i turn off scrollable in pure calendar and lp it will work better...
Hi guys,
I'm trying to get a perfect weather + clock/alarm widget for me. I've been using Fancy Widget for a while, it works fine for me (I can see weather info, I can see time, I can see when the next alarm rings), except there's no direct access to Alarm for it brings me to clock setting instead (and I need another tap to go to alarm).
I've looked at Beautiful Widget, but a bit hesitant to buy it due to some battery drain comments. Does Beautiful Widget drains battery significantly on Arcs? Can it access alarm directly from the widget?
Thank you In Advance.
Give GO Weather a go (pun very much intended) ... Been using it & it's quietly elegant.

Hmm... I still can't go to alarm directly from the widget. Or will it always be like that until I install 3rd party alarm app?
I'm using beautiful widgets and having no issue at all with battery life. Very happy with it.

Can it access stock alarm directly like the stock clock widget when you tap it ?
If it's not possible, I probably would just stick with the fancy widget.
Your could do that in the past, (asigning whatever app you like to different areas of the beautifull widget)
i have not used it for 6 months thou.

Does use automatic Geolocation?
I'm currently running beautiful widget and i'm quite happy with it...
Best weather widget IMO is snowstorm. Small, elegant, customisable, skinnable. Updates based on location. Accurate forecasts.
Decent digital clocks are a problem, though - most of them are pretty ugly looking to me. Quite like the small sony one that's built-in, if only it opened the clock/alarm apps when you clicked it...
+1 for snowstorm
For the clock use "glass widgets" which will allow you to choose which app to launch once you have clicked it

I'm looking for a good news widget mostly i read engadget but their widget is only 4x1 and I'd like a tablet optimized one.
Thanks
Pure News Widget seems to be a good one. Been using it on phone and tab.
Multiple sized widgets, plus resizable if using proper launcher. Scrollable. And many themes. It does tend to use a lot of data but on a tablet, not really an issue.
News360; best news widget available IMHO

+1 to this...just played around with it and it is pretty nice.
Pulse is by far the best, the App shows you multiple sources at once and the widget lets you place any sources on you main screens.
News Flash is pretty sweet! The Widgets are tickers and looks awesome on my Prime
as far as widgets go I like minimal reader for my rss feeds.
However I stopped using it for google currents... no widgets yet but I prefer it over anything else.
Hi all, this is my first post on here (ever) so go easy!
After owning 3x Mate 9's (MHA-L09 & L29) over the course of the last year, I decided to treat myself and have just received my shiny new Mocha Brown Mate 10 (ALP-L29), imported to the UK from Singapore.
I've noticed one or two "teething" issues however, most niggling being the size of the icons/home screen grid and notifications on the pull down menu, they're all huge!
I have view mode and text size set to "small" in display settings though it doesn't help.
I think, could be wrong, that EMUI 5.0 on the Mate 9 had a "smallest" setting?
Anyway, I was able to shrink the icons, widgets etc to a much smaller size.
Can anyone help with this or am I going to have to hope (and pray) for a software update that addresses this?
It's such a big, beautiful display and is a shame filling it with giant icons....
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks.
When both view mode is set to small on mate 9 and Mate 10, yes the mate 9 icons are slightly smaller.

I thought so, must be a coming fix for this?
Just feels like the fantastic screen real estate is wasted.
There should really be a 6x6 grid option built in to stock Emui don't you think?
I know Nova can provide it, but really want to stay stock for now with phone being so new!
(I may even be first in UK with it, not sure!)

Someone said Huawei Widgets and Nova launcher together has some problems. Maybe try another weather widget from play store?

With the last nova update, no crash anymore dude
I tried to persist with the stock launcher but it got the best of me. It just lacks so many features.
I've used alot of launchers but obviously Nova is a good starting point ( it didn't crash for me) and also evie is another one. My every day launcher is action launcher and it is excellent on the mate 10. Launchers come down to personal preference but in my opinion there are plenty out there that are better than the stock one.
Also pixel 2 launcher apk on this great forums is very good and smooth

I got the crash when I add the Huawei weather widget. I guess it is not compatible with Nova Launcher.

Same here. BLA-029 .119(C636). Latest version of Nova launcher. Can anyone confirm if they are NOT having this problem? Thanks all.
Same problem here. Seems like view mode doesn't affect the size of the icons on the home screen and the size of the notification toggles. I've had the phone for 2 hours and its been bugging me ever since. I hope someone can fix this. I really hate my icons looking so big.
For smaller icons in stock launcher you have to find an icon pack with smaller icons size. I did it in app Huawei Themes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.deishelon.lab.thememanager You can install new theme from this app which is called "card", and then apply icons from this theme in the native Huawei's theme app. For me icons from card theme look nicely and are smaller than original ones. Give it a try.
Currently using Pixel Launcher and icons are smaller now but the notification toggles are still huge.
When choosing one of the launchers mentioned in this thread, can you still use the navigation dock?
Hi everybody, i'm new to Xiaomi community , i'm came from HTC U11 the first i miss from HTC is the UI and the sound..
After some research and some installation i've finally get my perfect configuration on my MI 9 .
Here is a screenshot of my home screen
And also my HTC Usonic work to perfection with stock rom 10.2.9 after install viperFX . With no static sound or hissing.just perfect ??
For the notification i used "Notch Notification pro"
And you what's your perfect homescreen?
I like Miui's stock launcher (Xiaomi.eu version) and since I used an iPhone for several months before I bought a Mi9, I prefer launchers without a drawer. I like clean designs therefore I use some text KWGT Widgets (the first one is from huk kwgt) and three or more countdowns (countdown time app) to something i'm waiting for, like movies, events or videogames. The wallpaper is a 24h live wallpaper i downloaded from xiaomi's theme app. I used to heavily customize my homescreen but i don't have that much time anymore so nowadays i add just a little few tweaks to the stock experience but nothing more.
