Jewish calendar and clock widget

,

As many of you know, we’ve always loved the way the Qin F21 shows the Hebrew date right on the main screen.
While the HebDate app has widgets, none of them felt quite right for the main widget — so I built my own.

:white_check_mark: It works perfectly.
:mobile_phone_with_arrow: Just place it in /system/app, and it’ll update quietly in the background like the Qin.

Here’s how it looks:

Enjoy!

Doesn’t seem to be working. I put it in said location via FX and granted permissions, rebooted, and it doesn’t do anything.

You have to insert the widget manually…

(Or set default workspace XML in quickstep source… Sqlite from launcher prefs.db etc.)

How do I insert the widget manually?

you swipe it in - hold down the home screen and select widgets, and drag in the clock.
what? On a flip phone? No, that won’t work unless you predefine your launcher where to put it - very hard to do. Maybe i’ll make a guide…

I feel stupid giving out ALL my secrets… but yeah, if they will deserve it…

this is it in short :winking_face_with_tongue: (Or set default workspace XML in quickstep source… SQLite from launcher prefs.db etc.)

What about on the Qin?

For a ROM? same plan. for a widget? swipe it in… like any widget.

For a widget. On the Qin, long pressing doesn’t bring up widgets.

Aha, send me the launcher APK and I’ll modify it

Using the aiv forum app and don’t have access to my computer at the moment. If anyone else can send it that would be helpful.

Can you do this for any stock launcher?

Yes

Thank you

This is not a launcher. It has the ID of a launcher, but is built straight up from source… so there are no widgets, there are just default words to put: like the time randomly in the middle of the screen… so yes, I need the source code to continue.

Thanks.
When attempting to install via adb -r, I’m getting this error Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Failed collecting certificates for /data/app/vmdl1891787006.tmp/base.apk: Failed to collect certificates from /data/app/vmdl1891787006.tmp/base.apk using APK Signature Scheme v3: SHA-256 digest of contents did not verify]
Should I just replace the old one here? /system/system_ext/priv-app/Launcher3QuickStep/Launcher3QuickStep.apk
