Joying - Missing App Widgets e.g. Google Maps Driving Mode - Android Head-Units

Hello,
on my 8" Joying Sofia headunit running 6.0.1 I am missing some App Widgets not being listed at all!?
I would like to add a Widget for Google Maps Driving Mode but when creating the Widget via Google Maps Navigation settings I get a confirmation that the widget was created but it doesn't show up on my homescreen!?

ups

Obviously it's not an widget but an App shortcut which can't be create on a Joying Homescreen... no idea how to solve this.

I have tested it and can confirm it force closes
The only people who can fix this is yahoo - I suggest you contact them but I wouldnt hold your breath for any changes quickly
If its anything like the yahoo mail app its full of bugs that go on for months and months
For an alternative I would use accuweather - there are different versions - one from playstore or you can use the version iv got
here is the version iv got - install with system app installer (playstore) then add it as a widget and tap it to change location and settings

you can try BBC weather - although I dont know if it gives detailed reports outside of the uk
also beautiful widgets and hd widgets both have weather widgets and all kinds of other widgets but take up load more storage space so you need link2sd or something similar to use them

Android 9 and System Tuner

Has system tuner been removed from Android 9? How can it be accessed?? I'm unable to find it anywhere.
Yes it's been removed since the beginning of the Android P betas. There is a way to get to it. I believe you need to use Nova Launcher and there's a widget shortcut you can add to the homescreen that still gets you to the tuner but I'm not [emoji817] sure.

Confirmed: you can use Nova to create a shortcut, but most any activity picker app should be able to point to it.
Do a Google search for "system tuner Android 9" and one of the links gives a Nova tutorial on how to do it. The one I used was from Android police.. https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...e-spotlight-heres-bring-back-system-ui-tuner/
Alternately, I used QuickShortcutMaker. It's under the DemoMode header, but it launches the system tuner instead..

You can also use Tasker! Latest Tasker has a action to change the display icon at will!

Can you explain how this can be done, I use Tasker but I'm no expert with it.
You must enroll Tasker Beta via Google Play,
Here is a introduction. new_tasker_beta_53b_change_display_size_toggle

Search for weather widget

Hey guys, as the title say, im searching a special widget for the weather on home screen. It looks similar to the Standart samsung weather widget, but i guess this is not a simple theme. I think it is a seperate app or whatever..maybe launcher Design for this.
Maybe someome can help me to find this.
You can See what i mean on the attached Screenshot on the right side. Or on the right Device.

Why don't you try Xwidget on playstore. It got tons of widget from other launchers into one app. Maybe what you want is in there.

Widget applications

Hello,
I'm looking for some kind of application with which you can drag and drop the widget on the home screen of nova launcher and that widget would be some kind of screen with which you can see the map of waze or google maps. Something like android auto has.
I'm also looking for different radio application that could have widgets on home screen for changing the stations. Or if not widget then different radio application for my Junsun V1 android head unit.
And some kind of bluetooth application with which you can change songs on your phone trough widget.

Widget to display map/current location?

I'd like to show a map (split screen style) with my current location on the home page, but all of the launchers that let me do this are pretty terrible. I'm trying to build something myself w/ Nova.
Any ideas on how I can get a good map widget, ideally using Google Maps since my HU is rarely ever online. The Google Maps "Nearby Traffic" widget doesn't appear in my list.
