First, is there a way to pull an installed app so I can mod it? Just to make sure the app that I'm modding, is the exact same on the phone.
Also, is it ok to post a free app that you modded on here?
I'm modding Pandora to have a wood grain background, splash screen, and widget. Probably change the color of the hands too.
Another thing, where would I find the apk's to mod for the settings/power control widget, Google search widget, youtube.
Let me clarify, where would i find them in the ROM? If I'm not mistaken, it would be in system/app. Just not sure about the Google search widget.
Thank you for any help!
I found an app called banner that lets me put a banner widget on a page. But the app only lets you make one widget. I was wondering if there is a way to install it multiple times to create multiple widgets. I tried changing ether named of the .apk but obviously that didn't change anything. How can I get this working?
TIA
I'm sure this is pretty easy. Does anyone know what I need to change to be able to install the same .apk multiple times??
Sorry, I realize my first post had some weird typos... I was on my phone and in a hurry.

There is a setting in the manifest that sets the widget to "singleInstance"
Do what you will with that info.
So I whipped up some neat icons for a custom theme I'm working on and found to my horror that Zooper Widget seems to not support importing .png files as static images? Perhaps I'm wrong and this is a bug but if it's not then It's a feature that I highly desire to have, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I looked around for ages to see if there was anyone else who might have mentioned this but I've seen nothing, aside from .svg support.
I do have the paid version of Zooper and do enjoy using it immensely. I loathe having to return to UCCW just to make a couple of folder widgets to use my icons on so if that tells you anything about how much I enjoy Zooper.
----
If nothing else, where do I go from here? I'm using a gradient as a background for my folder bar so the icon images I'm using absolutely have to have transparency and I already exported them all in .png format. I have around 25 and I still have yet to figure out how to load an alpha channel from my transparent background in photoshop (because apparently you can't, you have to manually do it).
Best wishes and thanks for the great app devs! Keep up the hard work!
Png works man...We are using since ages
Must be a bug then.
On my app if I choose "Bitmap: Add a static bitmap from your Device Gallery" and then select the .png image then nothing happens. I've left it there for a few hours to see if it would just load up in time, even rebooted to check and see if that might be a bug as well. No dice either way, just the default folder icon sitting there mocking me.
Is there a size requirement to the images that I wasn't aware of? I was using 640x640 images... which is a little on the large size so if that's it then it's totally my fault. If not then I need to go and find a place to submit a bug report because it's not working properly for anything other than .bmp and .jpg files on my end it seems.
From what I've found you have to select always on the open with dialog, and only gallery. No idea why.

I rooted my phone and the issue appears to have been resolved.
Whether that was due to the rooting or an update I'm not sure. Either ways your solution is extremely helpful. Thank you.
Hi, I was wondering if anybody here could give me some advice. Using my Zooper widget Pro, I made my own template with Bitmaps and all. It works great on my phone so I decided I would share the template and had it uploaded in my google drive so I could just share a download link. Now I did a test run and downloaded the template using my other phone (also has zooper widget pro) and used the template. To my surprise, the bitmaps don't show. They only appear as folder icons. All the other parts of the template such as text and weather icons work fine.
Ok i give, where does one find app iconsets to use with the widgets? i tried a couple i found on the play sotre, but as far as i can tell they only work with the launcher (like Nova or Apex) and are not usable for picking icons in Zooper. Unless there is another way of putting an app link in a widget that i have not figured out yet. I've been having to use text links and would like to actually use icons.
I was wondering the same. I have one icon pack that zooper will let me select from, but i have yet to find another that will let me pick from it when i'm choosing a bitmap. The only one is kitkat concept or something like that. I may check to see if any others from the same dev do the same later tonight if i remember. It is a paid theme, but none of the other paid themes i have will do the same.
This comes down to the devs of the icon sets supporting a certain android intent. Basically what's happening when you are going to select a bitmap, Zooper asks the systems "Ok, I want to get back a bitmap. Who can do that?" and the systems responds with the "select your app" dialog, that represents all the apps that can. If the author of an icon set included this option in his app it will show up here. If it doesn't you could use something like ThemeX to extract the icons you want from the pack to your sd card and select it from there.
Since updating to the June build the pixel launcher crashes every time I press on a widget. I've tried deleting the widget and readding it and clearing the cache in pixel launcher. I haven't cleared data yet because I think that will lose all of my home screen setup. Is anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?
Updates/upgrades can and do break things.
Try -if- possible updating the app.
No easy fix if the app is no longer compatible with the firmware though and hasn't been updated.
Try clearing the data, reinstalling said apps.
Or simply don't use them for the time being.
If another app like Google play Services is used by the problem widget, dependencies, clear it's data.
A factory reset may solve the issue but don't count on it...
My stock N10+ firmware hasn't been updated in 2.5 years, current load is 2 yo, still fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Security is not an issue. However resolving app updates issues has cost me more wasted time then anything else. All were resolved without a factory reset... easier said than done
Google makes changes for the sake of change alone. All too often not in the end users best interests. Just because you're busy doesn't mean your productive... Gookill.
I just temporarily switched from Nova Launcher Prime to the Pixel Launcher on the June update and clicked on the At a Glance widget, and it loaded the weather fine.
I hope you find an easy solution.
Using any Magisk Modules? If so, disable them, reboot, and try again.
I'll give that a shot. Widgets that open an app work fine but the ones that do an action like pressing play on my Audible widget cause it to crash. I only have some basic magisk modules but I will try disabling them and see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm not rooted or nothing and just applied clock wiget to pixel launcher nland opened it worked fine for me no crash must be a magic mod that's efecting you
I confirm here that this is indeed a problem with the new June security patch.
Here are some widgets I found that have this problem (crashes Pixel Launcher when tapped)
1. Galaxy Buds Manager
2. Habits (blue reload icon) with it's checkbox widget (you must create a habit and select it to reproduce)
3. All Google Fit widgets
In fact most widgets I tried worked, but there are those which crashes every single time you tap on it.
Not sure what is going on.

Maybe try the Habit app too, I have confirmed with another person and it does crash.
Have to create a habit and then add it to the home screen.

You have to create one first in the app and then add the widget
Ok ill give it another go
As can see no crash for me
Uh couldn't upload so done this way no crash for me
I can open the app with any widget but it crashes when the widget has to do something. For example my audible widget will open the app but clicking the play button causes a crash. The same thing happens with Google calendar and my Authy widget.

Sometimes or even often if a simple copy/paste of an image to a post doesn't work, you can download your image to a file, click the Insert image button in the post, click where it says click here, add the image as an attachment, then from the successful attachment you can choose whether to insert the full image or a thumbnail into the post. This works for me almost all the time that pasting directly into the post fails.
So, sounding like the widget problem is with the Pixel Launcher.
Thank you I was using mobile and didn't see the insert or attach file
hi, any solution for this? other than installing other launcher
this is the crash log that i received
