Seen this on android central feed, I like it a lot but my only gripe is the fact that the stock LS collapses it. I would love if it can stay "open" all the time instead of having to swipe down to see missed calls or texts. And the damn settings button always shows as well.

Works very well, i like it.
May be more options will be included in the next upgrades.
i'm using it as well, you should try battery ext from play store.

Good question.

It uses Yahoo Weather, as stated, and apart from adding the extension it should just pick up your location. I didn't have to manually add it. Whether it is done by GPS or Mobile Network location, it just seemed to take for me.

This used to happen to me . Then i disabled the option to use home screen widgets in lock screen from my custom rom menu.
But now there is a new version from this app, that allows your homescreen widget to have full transparent background.
Yes i just updated recently, now how can i resize the overall icons and texts? They're so big... and i have to slide down to see the rest of the notifications.

I wish there was support for Whatsapp too.
Also,
I hate having to manually expand the widget when it's set to default.

There is one. Search for dashclock extensions on the play store.
I love the widget. Its fantastic. The only issue I've had is refresh time. I don't know if its there app or what, but I had a missed call yesterday morning. Even though I cleared the notification and even called them back it never went away from the widget. Hope he fixes it soon

Did you have a solution for this issue ? My LockScreen also take 2/3 from the Screen, so i cant see the full DashClock
Unless you have some sort of Lockscreen control built into the ROM, and enabled maximize lockscreen widgets or however it's worded, then there doesn't seem to be a way to force it to max size. Unless someone has found another method, which I am eagerly looking for.
I'm loving this, but the weather doesnt seem to show for me. Even tried defining a location in the default clock to see if it was connnected.
looks nice...

[Q] How do I customise the swipe-down quick settings?

It says USB tethering but I want wifi-AP. What do I need to do to get it customised?
Wi-Fi AP is on the back of the Wi-Fi tile

How do I switch to the other side of the tile?
What if I want two separate icons?
EDIT: found it. click on the tile icon. Amazing design
I wish the "torch" application as back, though. That strobe was great - but the blue light is also great.

Lock screen text

How do you change what the lock screen says??? I used the cable to transfer from note 7 and now under the clock it says Tom's note 7

Live Earth Wallpaper?

I'm trying to install the Google "Live Earth" (blue marble) wallpaper on my Pixel 2 XL. Every supposed port for the P2XL I've found either won't install or installs but stops running as soon as launched.
Anyone know of an APK for the P2XL that works?

Those live wallpapers don't work on the P2XL. Tried the "Your World, Your Solar System" globe wallpaper, but it just stops the app. Most others I've found won't install at all.

Weird. They all are working fine for me... I switch between a few of them all the time. Google Wallpaper app in the Playstore. Your setup may be bugged. Oh, I use Nova exclusively if that makes a difference?
They are working fine on my Google Pixel 2 XL running Nova Launcher... This should not be a problem. Try reinstalling wallpaper app from playstore...

Locking widget's position

So I just got a pixel 2 xl and I've been customizing my home screen to my liking. I'm added a widget to my home screen, but every time I touch it to refresh it, it wants to move it or change it's size. Anyone know how to fix this?
You should you're not long pressing the widget?

Absolutely sure, just the quickest tap will act as a long press and make it want to change its position or resize it.
What widget are you using? Pixel Launcher right?

Yes, just stock Pixel launcher. I'm trying to use my bank widget just to see/update my current balance.
It's probably that app widget in particular. I just added a wdiget with a refresh button and it worked just fine. You have another widget to add and test? If so and it works fine, contact the app developer for your bank app.

it seems like its only a couple widgets that do the same.
Try them with Nova launcher...
You might want to change your "Touch & hold delay" setting. You can find this in the Accessibility section in Settings. It has 3 options; short, medium, long. Maybe changing yours to long may help....
Hope this helps...
