Just got my XZ1c today, and I'm pretty happy with it, but it's missing the Photo/Video widget that I've used on my previous Xperia Compacts. Anyone know of a similar widget that I can use?

Are you on the stock rom?
There is a similar widget built into the default Lineage OS gallery.
I'm on the stock rom, and don't plan to root this phone for awhile. The last time I looked for a similar app on the Play Store (I was hoping to use Nova Launcher), I couldn't find anything like it. I had one page in my stock launcher dedicated to the Photo/Video widget.

Try this out:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/linea...ry-1-1-40030-3-android-apk-download/download/
See if you can get the widget working from this gallery app. This is the Lineage OS one I mentioned before.
Thanks! Works, but not like the old one...
The old version would display one picture or video at a time, was scrollable, and clicking on it would take you to that object in the Gallery app. It can be resized to fill the whole page. That's what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help, though!

Happy to help.
My last suggestion would be to look for an older version of the Sony Album app on Apk Mirror.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-mobile-communications/album/album-9-8-a-0-8-release/
Find the version that still has the features and see if it works on Android 9.
No luck so far...
Could it be possible to copy it from Z1c or Z5c? It was a system app.

You might be able to find the same version of the album app on APK mirror that is on the z5c. You should be able to see the version number of the app in the app info page in the settings.
Or try extracting it from the z1 or z5 if you still have them. I am not a developer so I don't know if this will work for you, but I usually use "my apk" from the playstore to create an APK from apps on my phone. Then you can try to install that APK on the XZ1c.
my apk link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andatsoft.myapk.fwa
Awesome, I'll give that a shot. Thank you!
Animated Photo Widget + does the trick!

Hey guys,
Is anyone brave enough to test the full feature 1.5 build of Open Home Full? We know we can always find some brave ones here
It requires that you are running android 1.5 on your phone (aka Cupcake). This build has full supports of 1.5 widgets and also a good amount of stability and performance improvements.
We had not done a lot of testing on this build; also this build will expire in a month (5/30). If you want to test the latest and greatest, feel free to install and try this build.
*Remember safe mode is hold menu button when powering on*, if you see anything wrong, just enter safe mode and then uninstall it.
Do NOT install unless you are running android 1.5
Download the apk at
http://groups.google.com/group/openhome/files
I assume since I'm running the dudes build and it supports widgets it may work. I can always remove if necessary . This doesnt remove open home right? just a different version?
EDIT: it replaces the existing open home
Hmm, I was impressed with the demo of OpenHome when I downloaded it a couple days ago. I'll take a look.
downloading it now. I have just flashed the holiday cupcake build so I assume it'll work with this. I'll let you know.
So far so good. I am glad to have openhome back again in 1.5
I have added all widgets, and they all work as expected. Are some of these the 1.5 "stock" widgets? I assume so because i see 2 music widgets listed, one looks like your own and the other a stock one.
I'll let you know how it goes after some proper usage. great work so far though. thankyou.
oh, p.s .. Will this be a free upgrade for those who had previosly purchased open home full ?
Works well enough. I like it.
Normally use full edition but will keep this until it is updated.
Suggestion: How about that calendar widget from Haykuro's build so those with dude's builds can use it?
Using it. Works well so far. I'm an OH Full user too, will I have any problems going back to the market app when it gets updated/released?
Ps. Is there any way to add support for Jeff Sharky's weather widgets? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509729
Weather widgets ok here. Problem with battery percentage widget though

Hey guys i like the changes the menus are a little more intuitive now! Shame it doesn't seem to maintain your icons from older version, but weirdly kept my fonts theme etc - not sure if that qualigfies as a bug or not really
One problem i have found though is it seems to scrap folder icons the second you open bettercut again, not a huge problem but ....
BUGS!
I have almost 200 apps to SD so it's convenient to have my favorite "few" on the desktop. After I installed the new apk file... everything was GONE! Huge inconvenience! Then when I pull up the app menu I can watch them appear one after another like the app is doing a search for the installed apps. I also tried Picture Frame. It seems like it pulls up the Camera app, then the gallery. I selected my picture. Cropped it. Saved it. Then it went back to "select picture" again. Strange. Also... AnyCut Open Home Edition doesn't work. Definite bugs.
Other then that I love it. Thanks! Is this going to be in an update and when will it be available in Market? I purchased the full version months ago.

I don't think it has anything to do with bettercut because I don't have it installed and it still goes back to the default folder icons randomly, sometimes it comes back sometimes it doesn't.

Yea that kind of pissed me off when I realized it took all my stuff off the screen and the dock. It works fine besides these few issues though.

Hey quick question, is there any way to add a 3d effect on swipe? Like when you swipe to left or right screen, screen shrinks and rotates as a 3d cube. That will be awesome dude, you can name the app something different and charge for it again because I know damn well people will pay for it. I definitely will.

The reguar widget works for me, but not his. It isn't even displayed as an option.
Trying it out on my new Magic
But it's not 'open' in any sense...
Really dissapointed in losing all of my icons on all 7 screens. Glad that "real" widget support was actually added in. Almost went back to dxTop because of this. Please make the full version available on the market as an upgrade to the old full version. It would be nice to make it detect the old settigns and import them in.

Opps. You have to wipe now.
Just kidding. You deal with it the same way as if you would set the defaults as any other app. Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Home>Clear defaults.
Been using this app for a few days now.I havent ran into any problems with it pretty smooth.Only down side was losing my icons.But no biggie.
Im running tnt 4.4 and am having issue with stock 3d gallery.

I second this, QuickPic is much, much faster than the 3D Gallery app. I don't know that making wallpapers "look right" is really on the Gallery app (stock or not), but on the size and resolution of the wallpaper.
Whats the resolution gtab
1024 by 600.
I'm quickpic too. Wallpapers looking great

I would get Quick Pic for a gallery replacement, it is much more functional than any stock version and blistering fast as well. Then get multi picture live wallpaper to set your wallpaper with. After install you will have to choose wallpaper -> live wallpapers -> multi picture live wallpaper to set your wallpapers to display correctly on your tablet.
The best combo I have found for this tablet and my CM7 Nook Color. MPLW is the only I way I have found to get wallpapers to display correctly on any tablet that I have ever dealt with. There is a thread about this particular problem around here somewhere, search is your friend. Do a search for multi picture live wallpaper in the Gtab forums and you will find it. I think it (the thread) even goes as far as telling you the way to modify existing images or create your own to display correctly when chosen as wallpaper when you choose them by using the traditional method.

OK here is the link thanks for being patient....http://www.mediafire.com/?1vhjevbevl74vzy
One more I want to toss in the ring.
Flick Ur Pic.
Get it from the market and use it in place of the Multi Picture Live Wallpaper I mentioned earlier. It scales the images perfectly on my Gtab. You use it just like MPLW in that you use it from the live wallpaper chooser. You can set up to nine images to rotate, or use only one and make it static with no transition effects. This one even has it's own image browser so there is no need to even have a gallery installed to use it as far as I can tell. I do still recommend Quick Pic as a gallery app for everyday image duties such as browsing and such.
Works great for me and this is the one that I will be sticking with from here on out unless it starts causing problems in other areas. LOL
Have fun with it ..... HTR
When you search google or any other search engine for the g-tablet, you get images of the gtab with a weather app on it... does anyone know what the hell that app is called? Is it part of tapntap? I played with it for about 10 mins before I flashed Vegan and have been trying to find a good weather/dashboard app (something that shows current weather/news/missed emails/yada yada ;D
Does anyone know? Or can you point me to a good "dashboard" app that has the features mentioned above. I'm willing to pay, doesn't have to be a freebie. I've searched the marketplace high and low and can't find anything that does that...or I'm not searching under the right tools.
Thanks in advance!
Tim
I flashed vegan right after I got mine, and I just use a set of beautiful widgets to make my homescreen the way I want it. It has time and weather, and I have a page just for facebox and twitter. No idea how to take screenshots, else I'd post a few.
That image is the "dashboard" that is the Tap'n'tap UI when not in classic mode. I've never used any of the TNT Lite ROMs which I understand are stripped down and improved versions of the Tap'n'tap ROM but I absolutely hated the stock ROM and the Tap'n'tap UI during the blissfully brief period I use it.

No, the "dashboard" has a weather area, a news area, and an analog clock. However, tapping on the weather area will take you to the pictured app.

Hi all I have just upgraded to Sense 6 and it seems HTC have removed the live wallpaper that lets you select multiple pictures from the gallery. I loved that wallpaper, is anyone else seeing the same or could someone upload the wallpaper I am referring to?
Thanks.
Yes, it's not there. I still have the old 5.5 ROM backup tough (I used it to restore old Notification sounds) so if you can tell me the name, I can upload it for you.

It is called HTCImageWallpaper.apk - unfortunately it does not work with Sense 6. Probably missing some other resources, so it needs porting.
But just in case, there is the .apk - it can not be installed, bust be placed manually to /system/priv-app

Thanks for the apk. It sucks that it doesn't work, I wouldn't know how to port it so I'm off to play store to find an alternative
Did you find a good alternative? From what I can see, it looks like most of the play store options have some kind of fatal flaw

What features did the HTC one have that put it in such high favor? I've been looking for a good slideshow WP app for a while. These are the best I've found:
Landscape Wallpaper - Good settings. Separate WP for lockscreen. Offers wallpaper scrolling, if desired (good when launcher doesn't support.) Can't choose to update on wake (only time limit), however seems to update on wake after timespan has elapsed.
Wallpaper Changer - Best options for gallery selection. Let's you choose and save custom albums, mixed of folders and individual pics. Can't modify albums. Seems quirky.
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper - Simple, works great. Can set to update with screen awake or even double tap. Supports web albums.

What I liked was the slow pan across each wallpaper before it faded to the next one.
I had a set of wallpapers with the same colours but different designs and it would switch to one, pan across, then fade to the next and pan across... I think the choice of panning left or right was random. It was just a nice behaviour that wasn't distracting but added a little interest, and the fade meant there was no jarring switch from one wallpaper to the next. Also it seemed to have no effect on battery usage,

Oh this for the suggestion, I'll try that out.
By chance do you have any opinion on different dialers? Currently on the older version of Oxygen OS I'm running, the dialer is fantastic as it allows you to slide between the four tabs.
It looks like in all of the current dialers you have to manually tap each tab and you can't just slide to navigate...ugh

Simple gallery still doesn't solve the problem completely... Stock Google camera still needs Google photos for picture preview after taking it, can't get rid of it for good...

not sure of ANY fix for this, unless you replace the camera - which is why most people get a Pixel to begin with.
