[APP][4.2+] Chronus: Stylish Clock, Weather, News, Tasks, Stocks and Calendar widgets
- Thread starter DvTonder
- Start date
Unfortunately not, unless your corporate policy allows for the calendars to be visible to the Android CalendarProvider. This is unlikely as most businesses want their data locked down / compartmentalized
Version 22.1 is now available in the Beta track. It adds the option to either Top or Center align the Clock+ widget in Appearance settings for the widget.
Thank you for all your work on Chronus!
Is it possible to add a preview button in the Chronus Dream screen saver options? Google has depreciated the ability for 3rd party screensaver launchers to start the daydream. Now, the only way to launch the screensaver is if the screensaver has a call to preview the screen saver.
Thank you,

Fingers crossed !
While we wait for Google's play store review to complete, you can install directly from here if you want -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/nx5rdysbtusm4vo/chronus-release.apk?dl=0
Just wondering if there's a secret to linking a Pocket account so that I can use news/rss. I created a Pocket account and can log into it but whenever I try to complete the app-linking from Chronus I'm told that local storage isn't writable to cookies. From Pocket? Chronus? Browser? I tried installing Firefox, that didn't help. I installed the Android Pocket app, that wasn't useful either. Permissions aren't blocked for it, nor for Chronus.
Version 23.0 BETA1 now rolling our, testing Android 14 support
Version 23.0 - Android 14
- Add support for Android 14 (U)
- Performance improvements

If you mean if synching for that specific calendar is enabled in the Google Calendar Anrdroid app (like here): Yes, it is.
Edit: I'm sure this must be a coincidence; but the very same Google calendar that doesn't show up in Chronus' calendar selection settings on my device, shows up twice in Chronus' calendar selection settings on my gf's phone (that calendar is shared with her).
Edit: Solved this. I've changed a calendar's name in Google Calendar and noticed that this change wasn't reflected in Chronus' calendar selection settings (even after hours). So Chronus' calendar selection was essentially "frozen" in a state that didn't reflect the current number and names of calendars present in Google Calendar, but of a much earlier point in time (e. g. a month ago).
I have no idea how this logically fixed the issue, but I was able to fix it on both phones by tapping "Refresh" in Google Calendar app's hamburger menu. I mean, the calendars missing in Chronus were already present in the Google Calendar app and on the Google Calendar website, i. e. everywhere except for Chronus, so I wonder how tapping "Refresh" in the Google Calendar app could have helped. But it did.

Heeeeeeeeeeere's JOHNNY!
:cyclops:
Oh boy! Congratulations! You guys woke up the ghost of Christmas past...
So as to not completely derail this thread I will make one comment regarding Mr. First Amendment's here....
We are not the United States Government. We are the internet. We are a privately owned forum. This is not Trafalgar Square in London where you can stand on a bench and utter BS regarding your discontent with local government.
What Pons said earlier should have been the end of it (especially considering he is a moderator who, despite this not being his duty, decided to go out of his way to kindly explain to you the fact that you paid money for a product which does not guarantee you anything). However, considering that you did pay money (regardless of the amount), that constitutes a transaction between you and the dev (read: between YOU and HIM... not everyone else in this thread/forum/universe).
If you feel that you have a right to publicly complain (not provide feedback, but flat out complain), then you have come to the wrong neighborhood. This is not a customer service center for people to come in and complain. This is a place where people provide feedback, logs, and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism so that the dev(s) can, ultimately, provide you with a better product for you to enjoy. This goes back to the core ethos of xda-developers, which is to share knowledge... by sharing bugs, you are sharing your knowledge about faults in the coder's product, thus, allowing him/her to improve and fix things. By complaining the way you did, you are effectively providing 0 knowledge and basically deterring the dev's time to try and figure out why or what you are upset about, effectively taking away from coding time.
If you are going to post in this forum, I suggest that
a. You leave your entitled attitude at the door;
b. Be ready to provide REAL feedback;
c. You understand that XDA-Developers is a DEVELOPERS and HACKERS forum and not a democracy. Opening an account gives you the PRIVILEGE to post. Posting is NOT A RIGHT.
d. You understand that we are not the BBB, Angie's List, or a feedback site where you get to complain about someone's service or product. If you are unhappy about something that you purchased, I suggest you utilize other means to vent your frustrations other than by abusing your posting privileges.
I hope my message is clear...18It's back ...
Say hello to Chronus, the elegant Home and Lock screen clock, weather and calendar widget.
By popular demand this widget is being released as a stand-alone, Play store installable app.
Functionally the same as the Cyanogenmod cLock widget and brought to you by the same developer, this independently released, standalone widget takes back its original name, Chronus and brings the same elegant look and feel to the broader Android community.
How do I get it?
Its simple, just install it from the Play store
