I'm in need of a Widget made that will work on 2.1 and 2.2. This widget will need to make a su request and run just a few simple cmds. If you think you can quickly make this please get in contact with me for more details.
Of course willing to pay for your time.

When you say widget, do you mean a view subclass used as a control in a dialog or activity, or do you mean a desktop widget (appwidget)?
Just simple Appwidget i think. I dont want any icons in the dock. Just add the widget to the desktop then the widget will run a su function that is all.
How do you want it to run these commands? In response to user input (touch the widget)?
Yes.
Widget will have to icons, basically off and on.
When you click the widget the widget will turn on and run a serious of cmds,
When you click the widget and the widget is on, it will turn off and run another serious of cmds.

I have Sticky Note widget app. I wanted to create a shortcut to it as opposed to press and hold the screen, choose widgets, scroll down to the app.
thanks

What? You don't run widgets, you add them to your home screen by pressing and hold the screen, choose widgets, scroll down to the app.
I am sure he knows how to access a widget. What he wants is to be able to open a note with a single press. I agree, the way you have to do it now is too bulky for use with note type widgets.
I swear the way you access a widget is a effectively a shortcut...
i was pretty sure a widget was basicly a shortcut....kinda confused by ur post...
If you try the sticky note app, it creates sticky notes on the desktop. To create a new one, you have to go through the widget list. Essentially want I want is an application shortcut that runs the widget
I don't think there is any way to do that (as far as I know).
Maybe someone else does...
Long pressing on the home screen brings up a number of options, including a list of widgets available to load. Does anybody know of a way to edit the widget list? For example, delete some unwanted widgets?

If you dont want them why not remove them from the system then?
Most widgets should be safe to remove as far as i know
adb shell rm /system/app/com.htc.PlurkWidget.apk
For example, I have the Hero Clocks installed, which places 40 clock widgets in the widget list. I don't like about 25 of them, but I want to keep the others.
Or another example, if I wanted to keep the Weatherbug app, but don't like or use the widget, how would I uninstall the widget but keep the app?
My wife has a "dumb" phone, but honestly as far as usability it's pretty great, and this is a feature I'd love to see on android phones:
Is it possible for a Launcher/Home app to have 2 remembered configurations for widgets, and for it to remember them and toggle between them by autosensing it's position?
So Example:
Is it possible that in portrait mode, your phone shows a dialer widget on your homescreen. When you turn the phone to landscape mode, the homescreen shows an SMS widget INSTEAD of the dialer widget. When you turn the phone back to portrait, the widget gets switched back to the dialer widget?
I think that as far as usability, that'd be awesome!
Never saw anything like that on Android.
But yes, I assume that is possible. I guess Apps have access to accelerometer and it wouldn't even need root.
Thanks!
I think it'd be awesome. As great and versatile as our phones are, let's be honest; they're phones. I think it'd be great if all you had to do was unlock your phone, and voila: you're greeted with a dialer widget (which already exist BTW). Don't need to make a phone call? No problem, but turn the phone into landscape mode (b/c let's be honest, most of us probably send SMS in landscape mode) and AGAIN Voila! there's a texting widget instead of the dialer widget (which I think also exist). The only thing to implement would be the "autosensing". If a Launcher like LPP or GO Launcher would implement something like that... it'd be money!
You could implement it on the widget itself so it works on any launcher.
Yes, it's certainly possible.
You'd have to save 2 sets of widgets and then code a listener to check whether the phone's in portrait or landscape and load the correct one.
Saying that, it's beyond my coding abilities, but i'm sure someone could do it
It is not only possible, but, from what I can tell, quite easy
all you would need to do is set up an OrientationEventListener
and then create a OnOrientationChanged method that would well.. change what is displayed
I'm not sure if it would be possible for do without using a different launcher but I'm sure it could be incorporated into something like launcherpro or adw launcher.
I might look into creating a widget that switches from phone to sms
that would be pretty cool
I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it
+1
Good idea! I hope someone could do it. That would be awesome.
Tasker is the answer!
I have Tasker and have done an almost identical thing. Create a Task which senses the orientation is portrait mode to change a shortcut on the homescreen to link to the phone dialler app. Have another task which changes the shortcut to the sms app if its in landscape mode.
Should be relatively simple.
Tasker is about £3 so a little more than most apps but is so configurable should pay for itself as it can replace a lot of other apps I have used.
I'm trying to fill a specific need.
Before this i had a Ibex Flytouch 3. It lasted 4 days from new before the battery exploded and melted it to scrap.
BUT - it had a very nice weather widget that shows time and weather from lots of world places. Specifically Newbiggin-by-the-sea, Northumberland, UK.
No other weather app I've seen shows Newbiggin, the closes is Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland. OK, the weather will be the same, but I'd like to see Newbiggin listed and shown.
I've got the apk from the FT files, and it installs and runs as a widget, but I can change the settings (It used to be a tap on the widget would open its settings window, tapping it widget on my A500 does nothing).
Anyone know how to make it allow settings, or of a weather widgety that shows Newbiggin?
try beautiful widget...
I'll try him, thanks.
Palmary weather does the job I need, but it add TOO many widgets - I just want one simple little thing - why do they have to bloat things out so much?
In that case, you can use the basic widget available on the Acer.
But beautiful widget offers choice of different widgets from simple to sophisticated...
well the ACER one is not finalize... cut the text on the bottom...
and concerning beautifull.... hummm no comment.
Ressource eating, too much things.... but normal it's meant to be like this
but I will release asap my widget, minimalistic, nothing more than temperature, and simple graphic... just need too study more about Java

Don't get me wrong, i don't mind sophisticated..
I just don't want all the other widgets still installed after I've got the one I want running.
It's good it gives you a choice - it just needs to delete the ones I don't choose.

Thanks for the link.
I've already tried it - the water live wallpaper works fine and looks great, but the weather app/widget fails (installs, but on run force closes all the time).
So I'm trying to open a widget from a widget, here's what I'm working with. For the Harmony icons, I want to be able to tap them and have them open up another window that shows all the activities that are on that hub, with a different icon for the current activity. I can't seem to find a way to open another widget from tapping on one of them, is it possible? I've also played with trying to set up a Tasker Scene, but it doesn't seem like I can change icons in there. Thoughts?
