META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot
Screens
Now this is cool.

Thanks, please leave a review on the Store. That would help a lot!
Guys, has anyone had problems authorizing on sites? Someone left a review on the market saying that the keyboard doesnt pop up. Works fine for us though...
Any other problems i should be aware of? Suggestions perhaps?
1.0.2.1
Fixed keyboard issue present on some phones
Fixed image cache optimization (much faster now)
Fixed a rendering issue that occurs if data connection is lost
Fixed a few device-specific issues from user feedback
This could go far into making easy HTML widgets. I build websites, so this would be awesome to link to a page that displays how many people are logged in, or a general chat forum for questions/comments.
My mind is thinking about this. I would get a video up asap because it would answer lots of questions. I'm curious as to how it grabs the content.
UPDATE:
Very awesome! I got confused at first because I accidentally clicked away the help bubbles. Maybe have a dedicated button somewhere with a [?] to provide some help.
I will be buying this for sure as there are tons of website site stuff that I do that I can use this for. I imagine that you'd have to redo this every time a website changes their page layout... which hopefully isn't that often.
It would also be nice to save/share these homemade widgets!
Maybe also the ability to include more then one tablet element, like 2 columns.
I think you should put a video that shows how this widget works.I couldn't create any decent widget and it can be confusing without a video or a tutorial.

There wasn't a video the last time I looked. The widget also doesn't show up in the launcher. Your reply was insulting to me. I can usually figure things out on my own but the instructions were vague and there wasn't a video when I first saw this. Nice work anyway

Boy is my face red. Battery % mod is the one mod I always do and I'm so use to it I forgot I even used it.
Only thing I seem to notice is that when I unlock it very quickly gets to my homescreen. Not that it was laggy before, but it may have been a bit slower.
Wow you guys are seeing performance improvements from 4.1 to 4.1.1. I went straight from 4.0.4 and the difference is incredible. And ICS wasn't that slow to begin with!

It seems like the app checks for resolution and/or screen density. Restoring the nav bar height to stock fixed it for me.

That's great in theory but you get misaligned themes then that look ugly / don't work properly. I'm watching the app but until they can support full screen I won't be using it.

Yes, it actually does. I'm using CM10.2 NIGHTLY, and it works fine. Plus, many other people with custom roms say it works. If you're on a Nexus 4, or any other device with no hardware keys and just soft keys, make sure that soft keys are ENABLED. (if this STILL doesn't work, I think it must be that it only works with AOSP roms)

You pointed out the reason why they don't support custom nav bar height / expanded desktop: how can they possibly align the themes if there are thousands of space configurations for the same device? Supporting the stock configuration seems like the most logical and reasonable choice.

This is only a Beta app and this kind of support has to come or it will ale off massively imo.
I was using Buzz Launcher until recently and that handles many screen sizes / configurations without issue. I feel in time Themer can achieve or even surpass this level.

If I remember correctly Buzz launcher stretches the assets to accommodate different sizes. This is not ideal imo.

Works for me running xlyon ROM! No problems with 4.2.2 ROM.
Sent from my Nexus 4
This is a build of Launcher3 from AOSP corrected to properly display icons and folders in Landscape. "Properly" is a bit of a misnomer. I fixed it by reducing the size of icons for Flo. I think the correct fix is deeper than that, but haven't found that yet. Anyway, it doesn't cut icons off and works pretty well.
Things to know:
- This is the 4.4 Launcher, but it is not the GEL. There is no Google Now integration at all. (and the long-press Settings icon does nothing)
- The Quick Search Bar will not display after you switch to Landscape. Pressing Home while in Landscape makes it pop up.
UPDATE: The apk linked below is more current than the one attached. It's built with no minSdk restriction and should work on 4.2 or above. (It definitely needs 4.2)
http://www.mediafire.com/?4roil3438gbz6qk
Forgot to mention that this is built for minSdkVersion=19 (4.4) because that is what it's set to in AOSP. I don't actually know if that affects installing from an APK, but I can probably build it for 18 if anyone wants. That should work since it does for the GEL. (I know it needs 16 at least from things I noticed playing around in it)

There's a link to an APK with no version limitation in the OP. I've been told it doesn't install on CM 10.2, but I was able to install (but not run) it on my ICS phone. (I have no devices with JB installed currently.) And again, it does absolutely need 4.2.
I get there was a problem parsing the file with this.

Sorry. Not sure what was wrong with that apk. Updated the link with one which I'm 99% sure will work, and including it below. I tested this one on my Stock 4.3 N7 and it does work. (No transparency) There's no reason it shouldn't on 4.4. It's technically modded a bit, but that's all mostly broken and disabled in this build. I'll be releasing that soon.

I can also confirm that the medfiafire linked APK works fine on Stock 4.4.
Thank you very much dude!!! It was exactly what I was looking for after the 4.4 update on my nexus 7!
Nice one thanks
Installed on cm10.2
Google released the launcher earlier today. It has full Now integration and all the bugs seem to be gone. Works beautifully on my N7 and S3.

That happens to me on my S3. It usually fixes itself after a minute or so. On my N7 it's perfectly fine. Are you using the latest versions that I posted above?

Yeah but sometimes widgets and apps overlap the Google Search bar.
I've just installed PA 4.2 beta 2 on my device and I have noticed that the PA settings app is gone. Is this intentional? Does anybody have any idea about the reasoning behind this?
Maybe because they have started everything from scratch with KitKat?
