[Q] What widget is that? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying out a lot of widgets to find the ones that meet my needs. The problem is that in some cases after I've narrowed my selection down to the one I want to keep, I can't figure out what widget it was! It doesn't have any About screen or other identifying branding. Which is good in one respect I suppose, but I have no idea what widget it is! Can anyone tell me how to identify the name and/or manufacturer of a widget that is installed and working on my phone?

Extract exchange support from HTC SENSE?

Hi,
Is there any possibility that you smart guys could extract only the exchange capabilities from HTC's SENSE?
edit sorry guys
1. Wrong section
2. Search Button
3. ... all I am going to say.
Thanks,
There you go. Give it a try.
More politely put no it is not possible but you can use senseui with the normal launcher and have your exchange support.
Or just use touchdown OR motogal and motocal
Widgets
My problem is that I LOVE the widgets. the Calender Widget to be specific. I wish the Android calender would merge Exchange and Google calender information and present it out on a unified calender like HTC does. And I used Modaco's kitchen to dump the Sense UI but that also leaves me without the calendar and mail widgets :-(
Not working
Talderon - I have searched but didn't get a satisfying answer.
InGeNeTiCs - Tried it (adb push), but I don't see any new app..
genibus - If I get you correct, you are saying that the only possible way is using HTC Desire's ROM?

I need to overlay google cal and exchange cal. I am using calwidget which is nice, but I need a full calendar app. (i.e - pick a specific date, and see whats happening in both calendars)
I need to accept calendar invitations from exchange (Push) - motocal can do it only if I happen to navigate to the date and see the event invitation there. there's no way to know you received an invitation, and there's no centralized place where I can see my invitations.
I need to be able to search GAL from the email application. I have motogal, but it's not what i'm looking for. let's say someone sent me an email, I want to forward it to someone in the company. I dont want to go to motogal, search, copy, paste... I want to have the search in the TO field of the wmail app.
I need to search email and calendar..
These are the main problems...
Thanks for the help
Why do people seem to believe that everything can be ported, or "extracted" from everything. Not everything (as sad as this may be to some) can be ported to every single 'thing'. People seem to constantly ask for things from HTC Sense here, but they do not seem to comprehend that HTC Sense requires a specific framework, without Rosie we cannot simply port every minor detail over to the standard Vanilla Android. (From MY understanding, I could be wrong, but this is what I was taught).
Get the Desire ROM, or a imitation, and stop requesting..
This was not directed to the thread creator specifically, though it was to people who are requesting widgets. I really wish people could become a little more educated.. unless me myself is wrong.

You can do all this already, or this is what you want to do?
Let me rephrase my earlier question, I think you misunderstood: What can you currently do that you will LOSE by going to the Desire ROM?

Because that's the idea behind the android OS? That everything is modular. Except that in this case HTC sense is a module for home, and not individual modules.
To the OP: If you want corporate usage, I believe it was pulled from the droid rom successfully. I've seen a few posts allude to it around here somewhere.

Well yes, I know that's the idea behind the Android OS, but not everything can be backported, extracted or whatever as easily as people seem to wish or think..

OHHH sorry I thought you asked a different question.
Actually, I wouldn't mind having a complete sense experience - That would be even better.
But I'm a little afraid to flash the entire Desire ROM because it's still experimental.. isn't it?
I'm currently with Cyanogen so it's not the idea of flashing that bothers me, it's just that specific ROM.
Thanks for your reply.

OK.. Ill give it a shot..
I was just trying to find out if there's a possibility that I wouldn't have to go through this, because all I need is proper exchange support.
Thanks.
Curiosity.
Without a Rooted Incredible I assume I can't install the sensemail.apk on the incredible?
I tried and the app won't install although both are HTC Sense UI's?
Verizon seemed to have downgraded the HTC Mail to only one screen option. I wanted the screen widget that showed the messages in a list not by individual pages where you flip through them to read the headers(single page).
I also tried the extracted widget from the HTC Desire ROM and it didn't want to install. said it was an application error.
Any hints? or just wait for the root?

[Q] Brilliant Idea! But I can't do it...

I wish I knew how to develop worth anything so I could put this into reality:
I'd love a widget that streamed updates (like a ticker maybe?) from all kinds of sources on your phone. It could grab unread emails, facebook updates, news posts, weather, etc. Just generally all updated content from your phone. Sort of like a 'What's Going On in Your Phone' ticker.
Is this possible? Would anyone be willing to create this? I would buy much beer for he who could.
you mean the notification bar

Lol! Yep..
[ send from my huawei ascend | MyAscend.org ]
It's a good question/idea. I'll see if there's a way of grabbing the notifications to put them in a widget.
C'mon seriously why would you need an extra widget for that? DRY principle anyone?
I would buy this thing the day it comes out, if ever! Amazing idea, would make the phone more useful and also provide a good look to it!

There could be various reasons to have such an app, mate! It might not be useful to you but maybe to others. If you don't like it, then you can always uninstall it, if ever you install! I, personally, would want such an app.
HTC Sense has a widget called friendstream which does this sort of thing, email, facebook and twitter etc.
There is a Friends widget at Launcher Pro Plus (Paid 2.99. I am too happy with it that I donate 5)
Twitter, Facebook Buzz etc are supported, not sure about emails though. I use seperate widgets for each one.
Well, if I catched it up right, you're looking for a phone like the Samsung Galaxy S Continuum with it's extra ticker display?

[Q] Multiple accounts/ parental control

Is there any way of having this ,I want my daughters to be able to use it but I want to set some content control etc
LEEDROID GINGERBREAD
DESIRE HD using XDA PREMIUM
I dont think Android is designed with multiple accounts in mind. You can have multipe google accounts but not multiple "master" accounts.
You can understand this not being implemented for mobile phones as they are more personal than tablets. I would hope that google look at implementing it at some stage.
Enterproid seem to be making an app for this very purpose though. Not sure when it will be released.

I was wondering if there was a way to use a combination of hidden apps and a password/locked homescreen. Basically you could have one. I'd like to have one homescreen with all my mail and calendar widgets, but be able to keep it out general homescreen rotation. Other homescreens would be set up that were relatively childproof.
Has anyone heard of a locking homescreens independently?

Regina 3d launcher has something like this. Works fine on gingerbread but I haven't tried it on honeycomb.
Had similar problems with my kids and their android phones and never really found a suitable solution.

Still looking. I've tried to DL Regina, but haven't had much luck. The launcher installed, but only showed up with froyo launcher switcher. It only works in portrait mode, which isn't very nice on my Adam. Also, it's no longer available on the market, although the other pieces of the suite are.
I wish someone would take this on in some of the popular tablet launchers. hint, hint....

[Q] Want to change app every 30s for wall mount... function like a chumby

So, the chumby service shutdown recently. It was great for us b/c we had a screen in the kitchen rotating through weather, google calendar agenda for that day, and other useful day to day information. Now it is gone. I would like to setup my Nex7 to do this. I've googled around for something like this, but no luck.
All it has to do is activate a different app from a list of selected apps and then 30s activate the next app in the list.
I'm sure this could be accomplished with an automation app such as tasker/automatit/llama. If that is what it takes I'll go down that path, but I'm hoping something already exists.
Thanks

I have never heard of chumby but I bet that is possible. I can't find any know app that do that and a tasker sounds like a possibility. maybe you could look through the forums to see if someone has made that but hasn't put it on the play store.
