[APP] [4.1+] FANCY WIDGETS (CLOCK & WEATHER WIDGET)
- Thread starter Stefanos53
- Start date
Have you added Fancy Widgets to the list of apps that should not be optimized for battery use?
I also have a "fancy" from the beginning -
(and it's been quite a few years -12?) Now Android 13 (Xiaomi Mi11)
Trying to solve it led me here. - on March 20, I received an update to a higher version of the system. And I test if my favorites work. The last time I used version 4.0.2 without problems was at the beginning of this year.
It stopped working a few weeks ago. I guess there was a partial update, it was still Android 12.
Now I miss the weather animation after unlocking the phone to perfection. (I also love the screen wiper.)
I used version 4.0.8 here from you. Many thanks for this working version.
If I could somehow contribute to "sustainable development" or beer... let me know and no problem.
I have several dozens of weather and clock skins saved. Unfortunately, I can't get them to work. I will deliver if interested.
Thank goodness "Fancy" is still alive.

Anyone got it working with Android 13? I tried the 3 different posted versions but I'm unable to add skins, there is just the default one with no background.
The app itself is not creating anything in Android/data even after adding the widget. If I create com.anddoes.fancywidgets folder manually there and add folders with skins, the app is not seeing them. Although when I uninstall the app, the folder gets deleted. Apk Info points to /data/user/0/com.anddoes.fancywidgets and I tried to put clockskins there and inside files subdirectory but no success

I don't have adroids 12 or 13 but after installed and run once. Suggest take a look in setting, installed apps, fancy widgets. See the permissions for storage is enabled. If this is not enabled that is the possible answer why the Fancywidgets folder not populating. Very interesting that uninstall sees folder and remove your manually created one. I believe this maybe the problem.
I give it Files permission when it asks, it has it. While under 'All files access' Fancy Widgets don't show up.
I get this message on my phone when I try to install it (see picture)...

That message indicates that there is a newer version installed on your smartphone. You must completely uninstall Fancy Widgets before installing any version.
Forgive my ignorance but does the phone have to be rooted in order to see the skins folder?.
Thanks for your reply,I added the fancywidgets/clockskins/weatherskins folders manually and put my skins in the folders and turned the phone off and back on and now all the skins work perfectly.So the phone doesnt have to be rooted for fancywidgets to work.
For reference my phone is Moto E20 running Android 11Go.
I also have this problem,using 4.08 and the time doesn't update.If you refresh in settings it updates the time but only for that minute.
Moto E20 on Android 11Go.
I have the same problem with the time not updating. I have a new S23 with android 13 which has the time update problem. My old S9 on android 10 updates time perfectly.
I fixed this problem by adding fancywidgets to the list of apps that should not be optimized for battery use.
It now works perfectly on moto E20 running android 11Go.
Thanks!
I just set the battery use for Fancy Widgets to "unrestricted" and now it updates time correctly on Android 13. I am happy again!
Hi,
It seems that isn't working since yesterday. Anyone else is experiencing the same problem?
It's not updating temperature or the forecast.

Yes, same here. The previously proposed provider that we were using in the recompiled versions is dead. When doing the query manually, he says:
"your subscription has expired. Please contact AccuWeather to resubscribe"
We need to find a new provider that is up and running.

Hi, I found the problem although for obvious reasons I prefer to be discreet about the solution. I am attaching all three versions, in which sunrise/sunset is updated correctly.
v4.0.8 allows you to save the configuration (create a file fwsettings.bak in the path sdcard/android/fancywidgets). And restore it, of course. You can also put skins in the clockskins and weatherskins folders within the same path. It does not allow animations when unlocking. Download as (attached) .zip file.
v4.0.7 allows animations when unlocking the screen,but does not allow using the path sdcard/android/fancywidgets (as in version 4.0.8) for save config and put skins. Update: now works the same as version 4.0.8.
v3.5.6 is an older version that I have tested on an old Samsung Note 4 running Android 6.0.1 and everything works too.
Remind everyone once again that you have to run the app BEFORE creating the first widget, providing all the necessary permissions. And, very important, put Fancy Widgets on the list of apps not optimized for battery use.
Also say that Fancy Widgets needs the Location service activated to obtain the LatLon coordinates and, from there, all the data. Supposedly, it could also work without Location active (getting coordinates via cell antennas and/or WIFI and others) but it doesn't always work. -

Good news! I found a working AccuWeather account and fixed the app. You can find details on the {Mod edit: Link removed. Oswald Boelcke}. At this moment we fixed Fancy Widgets v4.0.7, v3.5.6 and FancySense 2.5.
--------------------------------------------
ATTENTION, we noticed virustotal false(?) report, caused by APK Edit PRO. I'm checking information.6Attached version 4.0.8 modified using the @&Delinquent[$] provider. This version has animations and allows to adjust the widget to the screen with more precision. And it works on Android 12 (I think Android 13 too).
Remenber to add Fancy Widgets to the list of apps that should not be optimized to avoid that the app (also the time) stop updating.
Edit: Go to post #1685Hello!!!
The Fancy Widgets is the app for clock & weather widget
SCREENSHOTS:
DOWNLOAD APK5My android is not complete without this app. I have had it for years, and it was my favourite app...the first thing I would see when I unlocked my android. We still got the clock, but it is the weather that makes it complete. I have tried contacting the developer via email, but there is no response. We need this app. I got it for free, but I will gladly pay for it. We need to get through to the developer. He can't just abandon such a great project. My android will never look the same without Fancy Widgets. What can we do?
