Best system info widget? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my One X I use a widget that is aptly named System Info Widget that displays batt percentage and temp, free ram, free storage and others. Of course it's not compatible with the N7. Can anybody recommend a good alternative?

bump please :good:

Guys I found a widget called Battery & Memory Status Pro that works for now. It's just a 1x1 text widget but it does give you a bunch of system information. It's not nearly as nice as System Info Widget but it will have to do until I find something better.

that;ll do for now, i would prefer a 1x4 or something but this is cool. Not a huge fan of the needle look either
when it says 32GB and the needle is half way....?

One of the widgets that it comes with is all text based, that's the one I use.

I usually try to stay away from most widgets, especially system info ones, as they ware down the battery.
I do like "Quick System Info Pro", it allows you to enable statues in the notification bar. I also have "Android System Info" installed, and I just tried the widget, it's not bad.

elixir 2 widgets ftw. This is my "system" page. Everything I need or want including app shortcuts and uber customizable. I also use a 1x2 screen brightness elixir widget on my homescreen set to auto and custom settings 13 26 45 65 for the environments I use my device in and a volume one on my WidgetLocker lock screen. Never uses over 1% of battery.

Bump for visibility

I m facing the same issue, this was by far my best widget and was on all my devices but now i can not use it anymore

[Q] Where can i find this clock/weather widget?

Hey guys, got a little question i hope you can answer!
I'm after the clock/weather widget in this screenshot from the Shadowfrost theme

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I've seen it in a few places.
I understand the clock is the simi clock and the weather is fancy widgets (which i have both) but i'm not sure how to get them looking like they do in the above screeny.
When i try and apply a skin to the fancy widgets 4x1, it doesn't seem to take affect and just looks like it did to start with.
Also, how do you get the long line to part through both widgets? I know you can stretch the simi clock down but it won't let me use the same line to seperate the fancy widget.
Thanks in advance
Matt
you need luncher pro (you can change widget`s size) , place simi clock on the same end, and just stretch over other widgets
Thanks for the reply. I've already tried doing that but it won't let me because the widgets will conflict with each other, won't let me overlap them.
Also, does anyone know why when I apply a skin to beautiful widgets weather, it doesn't work, it just remains the same.

This shouldnt be the case with Launcher Pro.
If you can setup all of your widgets on the screen, while leaving enough space for the clock widget in its default size you should be fine. As all you do then is press, hold and release the clock widget the stretch it over the other widgets.
The only problem you will run into is then if you wish to manipulate one of the other widgets or the clock widget its self you will have to either remove the clock widget entirely first, or drag it to an empty screen, resize it and drag it back once you have made the required changes.
Hope this helps, was probably written in half jibberish.
Check my signature.
Oh and make sure your SD card is mounted. All Beautiful skins are downloaded to your SD card, so if it's unmounted you'll be stuck with the standard skin.
Thanks again guys, managed to sort it.
For some strange reason i thought i was already using LauncherPro (got the Ultimate Droid rom). Bought LauncherPro Plus and it worked straight away
Thanks again!

[Q] [REQ] WeatherIcon in Status Bar

Hi,
I'm looking for an app which shows a weather icon in the notification area in additional to the Temp (not when the bar is pulled down, but just a little picture behind the temp, indicating conditions such as cloudy/rainy/sunny in the notification bar ) like WeatherIcon for Cydia (top right corner).

Maybe there's an app doing this already but I looked for it on the web and found nothing. Or if anyone would be able to dev this stuff, it would be great!
I'm looking for this as well. I'm starting to think a jailbroken iPhone is more customizable than an Android.

Ouch.. that hurt. The weather channel app, as well as a couple of others, display the weather on your status bar. I don't utilize this feature, so I'm not sure how they function; but with the weather app, find your location, then long press on it and set it as home location, and it will display the temperature on your status bar.
I would give you more info on the other, but again, I don't utilize this feature. All I did was google the questions ( http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+weather+status+bar ) and there was the answer

Lol. Thanks desikilla.
Actually been searching for a while. I do use a weather app that allows me to have the temp in the status bar. We are actually looking for an app that will show the current conditions using an icon such as a cloud, sun, or a cloud with rain falling from it, etc.

the app you are looking for is called weather cast lite free in the market i use it and it shows weather icons for current conditions in your status bar or just temp
Look for an application in the Market called Weather Notification.

daman and bryan, thanks! Looks like this is what I am looking for.
I will check both of them out!
I agree with the OP, there needs to be an application like this for Android, there's NONE and it's weird because my friend texted me asking me if there was an application that showed the weather CONDITIION, and the TEMPERATURE on the titlebar (notification bar), we had an application like that for the old Sidekicks that were made from Danger, I'm surprised it's not made yet for Android, but it's made for a jailbroken iDevice lol.
I'm still looking for this also.
THREE LETTERS LOL. Almost every weather app has this features.

Weather,US Radar,Alerts,Quakes by Elecont software

Meteo Notifier has both the weather icon and the temperature but the only downside is that your reading the temperatures in Celsius and not Fahrenheit. That and some people have complained about it not auto-updating for some.

This isn't an android section.
There are windows phone apps with those on live tiles so I guess it's just a matter of time until someone makes one here.

i mean a tile that gives you the battery %.
Windows 8 originally had the battery level and the time by the user name on the Start Screen, it may be a registry hack to add it back.

[ZOOPER][CUSTOMIZATION] tb01110100's Zooperlicious Widgets

Hey, all.
I've only been messing around with zooper for a week or so, and it is still absolutely phenonemal. I love it. Here, I will share some widgets that I've created in my own free time. Check back here every once in a while, I may add new ones.

Make sure to install Media Utilities (free in the play store) and open it.

suppose you could use this for your home screen if you want to.

Sweet, question, is it possible to replace the crosshair in the 'where am i'-thingy with a picture or shape, so that I could use a pin like in G-maps f.e.?

I don't know exactly how to to do it, but you might be able to get it to work by removing the 2 progress bars that form the crosshairs, then adding in a bitmap of your choice, and meddling with the x/y offsets in advanced parameters to have its position based on #LLAT# and #LLONG#. Hope this helps.
Thomas
Thnx for the great work! Love the widgets you made!

I alternate between nova and action launcher. I think the sweet spot for grid size on the nexus 10 is 7x9.
