[Q] Day of week (number) problem - Zooper Widget General

I'm trying to create a super simple little calendar widget but for some reason, Day of Week in Week (number) always outputs 0. Is this a bug or am I missing something? I'm trying to use it in a progress bar.

Thought it might help to show people what I mean.
One screenshot shows widget on desktop. Other one shows settings for the day of week in week. Note that on the desktop screenshot, the 3rd ring from the centre is the one that's not working.

Hi,
Have you double checked that your foreground colour isn't the same as the background colour?

Yup. Just this minute solved it though - should have been using 0 as a start rather than 1.....which I don't really understand but at least it's running now.
Got some more tweaks to make and then I'm going to have a crack at releasing this on the play store

Good and Unique features thread!

There is a swype like option in the default HTC keyboard settings by enabling tracing. Can even change colour of the tracer.
The HTC note application is able to sync to evernote server.
Able to grp sms on sense ics
Please continue to add to this thread to be useful.
Thanks!
- turn off fastboot at settings/power uncheck it and reboot.
- turn off 3 fingers swipe at display
apparently these solved most of the screen glitches problem with camera and browser.
Most people may know this but I will put my part in. You can change colour of lock ring based on which scene you choose. Ands there's a pointless feature where when you touch or drag something there's a circle cursor on screen... Can be found in settings - developer options

Its not pointless. I assume its main purpose is to allow you to monitor how accurate the display is in regards to your touches (in fact I can see that my typing is slightly to the left of each button) and I know many use it to show video demos (I.e. they use it to show where they touched the screen... watch an angry birds tutorial and you'll see what I mean)

As well as the taking photos while videoing, you can take (extract) photos while playing back the video. Had a dig in the manual - couldn't find this mentioned.

go to personalize and than the second entry in the list (i dont know what its called in english) there you have 6 different "scenes" and in some of them, the lock ring color(is it color or colour?) is changed
US - color
all the other countries - colour
Here is a cool feature that I found out the other day. I'm not sure if its new or not though.
If you use google voice and recieve text messages via google voice. The HTC messaging client will bring those texts in and unify all your texts in one area. If you continue the conversation it uses the google voice number in that message.
There is an app on the phone which is called in Dutch "Laat zien" which had a lot of info about features of the One X.
I guess its called something like show me in english

I found a unique feature where if you take your phone out in front of iphone users, they look at their device in despair and start crying!!!
Found this and might be of use..
Did you know you can use the icon that pops up when you click a volume key?
Quickly cycle through silent, vibrate etc. !)

New message notifications in status bar - PRIVACY?

Hi,
I'm using stock ROM and stock messaging app and have selected in the options not to display the name or content if new messages in status bar but it doesn't work and still displays it!!
Any ideas please?

Is it any surprise I'm getting rid of my one x literally less than one week after buying...have been quite disappointed with the one x and 52 people read this without any response or confirm if they have a similar issue or not...it would have took 30-60 seconds!
Should have stuck to Samsung's...we'll unfortunately I've already sold my s2 so i guess it'll have to be the new beast s3...
Thanks to those a few that did help on a few things but generally the one x forum is a little cold for me compared to the Samsung just like the HTC phones!

The problem you posted is a little obscure, I've not seen it mentioned in any other threads, perhaps nobody has come across the same issue yet? If people don't know what the answer is then they won't post. The fact that it had so many views and not one response suggests that this is the case and it's not a case of the forum posters ignoring you.

Are you talking about the option Messages--->Menu--->Settings--->Notifications-->Notification Preview, untick the option but the message will still be shown if you pull down the status bar??
From testing on my phone, when you untick the option, and get a text message...I get no preview on the lock screen, the message icon on the status bar (with no preview) but the message is there when you pull down the status bar. To truly get rid of it (no message in the pull down status bar) is to disable Received Notifications but that's counter productive as you get no alerts!
I will test on my Xperia Arc (when I get home from work) and see if it does the same (I have a funny feeling that it will do the same)
I beleive it maybe a generic Andorid thing in terms of messages appering on the pull down status bar (perhaps the more experienced guys and clarify)

Hi thanks that's correct...i still see the preview when you don't with the same settings!

It's not that no one has anything to say, it's that no one actually cares about the preview - it's MY phone so I want to see the messages. Do you share your phone? If not, it's a complete non-issue IMO

So you still see the preview on your lockscreen? Or in the status bar? Because that setting doesn't change the status bar preview, just the lockscreen one. But if in the Personalize settings you have the lockscreen type set to notifications preview, it'll show regardless of the messaging settings.

Use GO SMS Pro or Pansi SMS from the Play Store. They're far better then the default SMS app anyway, you'll find many more actually useful options along with your privacy setting, and they also have individual settings for specific contacts, so you can choose only messages from a certain contact to not show in the status bar, if that matters. Works both while using the phone and in the lock screen. The individual settings feature is included with GO SMS and is a plugin for Pansi SMS.
And don't be so impatient. It's not that everyone who reads a thread has to have an answer and reply. Don't go by how many views the thread has got and wait a day or two. There have been so many threads I've read for which I don't have an answer. It's not that people don't care, they'll most certainly help if they know how or have experienced the same thing. Almost everything can be solved, being impatient won't help. Similarly, why would you want to be hasty and get rid of such an awesome phone, that too over such a tiny issue? IMO, phones should only be returned if there's a problem hardware-wise. Not because of app-related problems or operating system problems. There is almost always an (often better) alternative for these things (apps & ROMs).

Hello, problem will remain if he keeps the stock app.
I had two notifications using handcent SMS.
I had to disable the notification from the stock app and only activate handcent notifications and it works perfectly now.
But the stock app is always living by its own without notifying me anything.
You have different notifications : mails, SMS, facebook, twitter, etc.
Which ones are still remaining ? SMS ? Mail ?
And then you also have the reports from sending SMS, this should be also disabled
or you will have receive reports for each SMS you send ...

[Q] CM10 M2 ROM Randomly adds app icons on the home page

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed that after CM10 M2 ROM is installed that it randomly adds app icons on the home page? Intermittently when booting app shortcuts show up on the home page. This happens even when I don't install an app. Things I installed weeks ago are randomly on my home page. never more than 1 at a time, but about 10 times a week!
Can anyone help? Help...
what apps?
Go to the play store menu and see if auto add widgets is checked if it is UN checked it and see if that solves your issue

Thanks - good to know were all in it... For the record I love CM10 M2. It's by far the best ROM I've tried hands down! But, the problem has come back.... :/
The earlier fix: I went in Play store a week ago and unchecked install icon on home page.
Original problem has not gone away. It still adds icons to desktop. I've been playing with it to try to get an idea for what causes it. If I have all spots taken on the home page for app shortcuts, it will remove the app I already have there and add another random one. Always in the upper left.
So, I figured out that it only happens on reboots. But it doesn't happen if I leave the previous randomly placed icon alone!! If I remove the previous random icon and put one of "my" choosing, then reboot - it will trash mine and put another one there. It's always a random one. It might be ones that I had grouped from another page (i.e. several icons in one spot using the group feature).
BUT - I also learned that if I leave the randomly placed app icon where it put it - then reboot - A new one doesn't come!!! The previous random one stays put for several reboots!!
Oh - one last thing. I'm using the customization of the Launcher Grid - the number of icon rows and columns. I have it currently set to 6 rows & 5 columns.
Do you think that is why?? (maybe too many icons on the page so they are too close and then get pushed off the edge???)
What do you think...

Does the Pixel launcher weather widget icon match the actual weather app?

I'm wondering if this is simply how Google has the Pixel launcher weather app set up or if mine is not set up right? As you see in my two screen shots the Pixel launcher shows the sun but the actual Google weather app shows the moon.

It's supposed to. I too have experienced them being out of sync though. I think pulling to refresh the whole Google now screen should update it. Most widgets are not updated in real time but instead in timed intervals. Seems this widget must be the same. I wish they had settings for just the widget so we could set the interval.
Refreshing Google Now doesn't change the icon, the temperature updates but not the icon. Kind of stupid to see a yellow circle when it's pitch black out.

Completely agree with you. I've never seen the moon on mine, only the sun. It's dumb. You wouldn't think it would be that hard to switch the icon according to the time of day.

Had the same thoughts. Glad i wasnt the only one who thought it was annoying
Can anyone confirm if they get the moon at night in the Pixel launcher weather app??
Surely the icon in the wigit is simply indicative of current weather conditions. I already know when it's night time. Glad they didn't waste resources on such a trivial thing personally.

I disagree, I think it shows a lack of attention to detail and I'm pretty sure in the time it took you to respond to this thread the weather widget could have been mapped to the correct icon. Not really sure who's wasting time at this point but thanks for you insight :good:
Well that was an unnecessarily pointed response. This forum used to be a proper, technical forum when I first got into hacking XDAs. Now it seems to be about icons and fighting each others opinions. I'll stick to the technical areas and leave you kids to whine about icons in this section. I'll waste no more of your time with my opinion since opinions seem to be seen as a reason to be rude to each other these days.
Sorry about that. Why don't you write your own weather wigit and share it rather than whining about what you've got.
Jeez this place has changed.
Well, looks like its linked to the google app itself. I am getting the moon to show up in the widget for 2-3 days now following a google pp update via apkmirror. Maybe a server side setting also.
see here.
it appears they are correcting the situation...
This is good to see. I know some people don't care, but as someone else pointed out it showed a lack of attention to detail.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Mine was corrected by the Google update from the Play Store. Now the icons match, but the temperature shown is still a few degrees off from the full screen weather.
mine matches the icon and temperature
My wife's phone just started showing the moon now. Mine still shows the sun. So they seem to be slowly and silently rolling out a fix. She got no update but is on Verizon with Verizon version. I'm on Fi with Google Store version.

Same here. My wife's phone shows the moon but mine still shows the sun. We are both on Build Number NPF26J. I got my phone from Google where she got her phone from Bell Mobility.
Mine wasn't showing the moon either but as soon as I uninstalled the updates to pixel launcher and reinstalled them it shows the moon now. Mine is the Verizon version.
me too
Any way to disable the home screen weather widget? I use a 3rd party widget and it's superfluous and inaccurate because of the source it pulls from.

Burn-in in on my 2 week old Pixel 3 XL

I was watching a YouTube video earlier and noticed burn-in. The home button and the line that separates the navbar from the rest of the screen. If Google would get rid of the navbar it would almost eliminate burn-in. I got an RMA so hopefully my next one won't do it. Here's the pics I sent Google.
+1, I've had mine for just over two weeks and I'm already seeing navbar burn in. Question, did yours seem to have status bar burn in when you first turned it on? I swear I saw the burn in line going across, it lines up with the bottom of the notch
There is already a thread about this. Search next time please
@qtpa2tnh
Me too. I could see at first time switching on a "line" between normal display and notch area.
I don't know if it's the display or just the program code.
If there's already a thread, can someone post the link?
I couldn't find it.

I strongly recommend NavBarApps

You need some color to fill the empty navigation bar. Your entire screen is wearing pixels but the nav bar is not. That's how you're getting screen burn. Notice how every other manufacturer is doing that but Google.
I've used this app on my P2XL with success.

I was using Navbar Apps. Still burnt in the home button.
It also matters what color you use. Red doesn't wear at all. Green is middle of the road and blue is the most wearing. I usually stick to light gray navigation and status bar colors to include all pixels as much as possible and still see buttons and icons.
