Hello everyone,
I'm using Android Revolution 6.3.2, S-Eng off a.s.o.
I am trying to add a custom weather location, but I don't know which database to edit in WPDB.zip. I tried to add the location to WP_040EHUN, WP_0407GER and WP_0409WWE so far without success, my phone won't find the new location, which is in Hungary btw. Accuweather.com shows it and all fields I added in the database seem correct, and yet nothing.
Also, does the clock/weather widget only work with current location setting? Because as soon as I disable current location, it doesn't show the weather anymore.
The Weather application still shows and updates the location even after I turn off current location, yet it doesn't show it in the list.
The News & Weather application does the same as the Clock/Weather widget (if current location is off, it doesn't show the weather, it says "no available location").
I suspect this has something to do with Sense rather then the ROM, but anyhow any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
You are right it is a sense issue. I got fed up of the sense weather widget and now use HD widgets or Beautiful widgets. You can make both of them look almost identical to sense and the location works perfectly.
It's quite an easy edit, its the wee one. Once in the db set your lat/long, and name it whatever you want. Then in the weather app and clock, select what you named it in the db.
I'll have a search for the info, and post the link.

But the whole point of it is to tell you the weather where you are at that moment. That edit is OK if your never leave your own backyard.

Yeah, but what if I don't want Google to know where I am at any given time? I mean, I'm not paranoid, don't have anything to hide either and I like Android, but I'm trying to let it invade my privacy as less as possible.
i'm just running stock...but had the recent sense 3.0 update.
since then, i've noticed an issue with my people widget.
the widget itself has the right datat, but after some time, when i unlock my device and scroll to the widget...the people are still there, but the associated facebook/sms/email information isnt and its as if i've just placed the widget there in the first place.
it shouldnt do this should it?
Any ideas for troubleshooting? I've googled but didnt really find much out there....maybe not many people have this issue or even use the widget.
the widget itself is the view where it shows a picture and then next to it shows their most recent update (thats the part that refreshed not all the time, but most of the time when i unlock my decide and then scroll to that widget)
what gives?
the widget itself is version 3.0.2120373266,190558
release date 21011/03/31 15:05
its the 3rd type of that widget
Hello all! This is probably a really simple problem but I'm new to Zooper and don't have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong. I have Zooper pro and none of the widgets that I've created and saved to sd card via the the save icon in Zooper will show up on my home screens. When I make a widget on my home screen and have the option to pull set ups from my sd card I can select the widgets that I have made and saved, however when I select one and head back to my home screen my widget never shows up. I don't care how long I wait nothing ever shows up but the original widget that says resize or tap to start. What am I doing wrong?????
Hello,
I'm just getting started with zooper, but searching hasn't yielded an answer for me on this.
I would like to make a side scrolling widget (like a news ticker) for displaying my currently playing music, system info, etc along the bottom of my home screen. Anybody know if this is possible with Zooper?

I'm almost positive this can't be done, because Zooper only refreshes every second or so. Thiscurbs the ability to use dynamic content like what your are referring to. Maybe in a future ZW release...
I tried adding a second hand to zooper based watches before and it only moved once every 10 seconds or so.
Second Screen Custom App Icons & Widget Triggering through Tasker/Zooper/Popup Widget
Hi Guys
So I know this isn't earth shattering, but given we are all feeling a bit underwhelmed with the second screen theming options I thought I'd share. I was able to get Second Screen to recognize a custom APK installed through Tasker using Tasker App Factory. I used a combination of Tasker, Popup Widget, Zooper Widget, and Tasker App Factory for this. I'm one of those guys that bought Tasker pro a long time ago, made some basic stuff, and then gave up because easier options came along... kind of the same with Zooper Widget, but I think I might actually starting using it more (even though I believe ZW support is finished) because I barely use the second screens static app options right now, it's just easier to pop onto the homescreen and open whatever I need. I think taking this route will give you access to stuff you might not want on your main screen easily (for me, that's something like the weather channel app), and doing it in any app you're already in. Essentially you just hit the app icon and your widget pops up with the information you want it to show, my widget is interactive so from there I can click certain things on the widget and open them.
I just tried recording my screen to share but it didn't record the second screen, so I'll need to charge my other phone before I can show you what I'm talking about. I'll hopefully get some pictures or a video up shortly.
By the way, this works with Nova Launcher also... I've seen some other threads where you have to use LG Launcher to change your icon.

EDIT
You will need the Zooper Widget Template that was created by Jack Burnett, I got this off of Zooper Widget Google + Community because it was easier than creating my own. I did however, edit a lot of the components to make it more in line with what I was looking for. You can do that in Zooper Widget.
This is a static widget that stays on the home screen, but allows you to interact with various shown components.

In short, you can use this widget standalone and it will not have the Popup Functionality and will always be on the home screen. Clearly this does not help if I am trying to get it on the Second Screen.
Create your Zooper Widget or Import the Template from above.
Create a new Pop Up Widget, import the previously created Zooper Widget into your Pop Up Widget and Save it.
Open Tasker, New Task, + to Add Action, Plugin, Hit Pop Widget Action Plug In… When it opens hit the pencil and select your Pop Up Widget that contains your Zooper Widget. In the bottom right of the Task Edit Screen there will be an icon select button, you can choose your custom icon at that time.
When you are done and on the Tasks list page of Tasker you can long press your Tasker Task that contains your Pop Up Widget and Custom App Icon, you’ll hit the 3 button menu at the top right and select Export. Export it As App. ( You will need Tasker App Factory for this).
When you do that hit the Android icon in the bottom right and it will ask if you want to install the Application just like it does when you download from anywhere else.
You’ll hit install, it should install, hit Done.
Go to Settings, Second Screen, Show When Main Screen is On, App Short Cuts, Scroll down to your APK (make sure you named it in Tasker) and select.
It will add to your second screen and allow you to Use your Custom Icon to interact with your pop up widget options.
What is that widget?

I dont understand the problem, we can change the icons on the main screen and move the app to the second screen

Hi - I'm not understanding your statement. There isn't really a problem. I'm not just changing the icons I am triggering a widget from the second screen that is actionable... We're adding our own Tasker APK to the second screen, which is clickable, and you can interact with the widget. Instead of keeping the widget on your homescreen taking up space, you can just use it whenever you want from the second screen without going to the home screen.. Like I said not earth shattering, but at the time the only changes I had seen regarding customizing second screen were changing icons, but people were saying you couldn't do that unless you used LG stock launcher..
I didnt realize it was about widgets, on the other hand, if you cannot see what is saying it doesnt make much sense, you might as well just have the app shortcut...
His option seems more about having a "peak" option so you can stay in-app.
Maybe a step-by-step guide would be great for us to actually try it out, or even placing other widgets onto it as well? Like Whatsapp, Facebook and stuff like that.
Hi Guys - that's exactly why I was putting it out there. I think the functionality is endless if you are good at creating zooper and popup widgets. I clearly am novice at zooper, popup, and tasker so this was my first go at it. However, I do believe it would allow you to create really whatever you want... I was trying to get a Social Widget created, so I'd hit the one icon and my facebook, instagram, tumblr, etc... would all pull up in one actionable widget window.... but I couldn't get the Popup Widget and Zooper Widget to play nicely in Tasker.
I can put together a guide on how it was done, but to answer the question above, my recording quality was **** but I can clearly see everything on the widget and it's large enough to select individual portions of the widget to open them... ie the wireless dbm monitor if I hit that it takes me to wireless settings, in the middle there's a small calendar square (not clear in the video), if I hit that I go to calendar. And I can do it in app due to second screen or if I am on snapchat and my videos are taking forever to load, instead of pulling down notification panel and long press wifi, I can just go to this popup widget and it shows my dbm and the network I'm connected to immediately without leaving snapchat.
I'll edit the original post so that it's more concise as to what exactly is going on. You can use a shortcut but what this method allows you to do is to create "short cut icons" for whatever you want, even if it's not provided as a typical shortcut, through your zooper widget and tasker.
I'll update what I can to make it more clear though. thanks for your feedback. Again I think It's more of a hey you can do this, someone who has awesome zooper/tasker functionality, roll with it type of thing.

If I did that you'd be limited to only the number of iapp spaces/shortcuts allowed on the second screen. In this instance, you can directly access Calendar, Clock, Wireless Settings, Settings, Weather, Battery, really whatever you want to add to the zooper widget interface by only taking up one App Icon Space in the second screen. I'm writing a more concise post now and will modify it. I added a screenshot of the widget below, it's legible.
