Awesome Widgets News http://www.siroccosoftware.com News relating to the Awesome Widgets app for Android Wed, 11 Jan 2012 09:56:15 -0700 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 09:56:15 -0700 Awesome Widgets Lite/Free http://www.siroccosoftware.com/awesome/resource/viewnews?id=137 We have released a Lite version of Awesome Widgets, it allows a reduced number of toggles/settings (30) and features 5 day weather rather than the full 24 weather in Awesome Widgets Pro. Apart from these slight restrictions Awesome Widgets does everything that Awesome Widgets Pro can do.  You can download and create your own skins, add a mixture of toggle / settings / app shortcuts to an Awesome bar to save a lot of space. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=sirocco.widgetslite">Grab it for free on the android market</a> We have tried our best to get rid of any bugs, but if you do find any <a href="mailto:ashley@siroccoracing.com?subject=Awesome%20Widgets%20Bug">please report them</a> and we'll do our best to fix them Wed, 11 Jan 2012 09:56:15 -0700 Android Tapp thinks Awesome Widgets are Awesome http://www.siroccosoftware.com/awesome/resource/viewnews?id=136 Android Tapp has written a rather nice <a href="http://www.androidtapp.com/awesome-widgets-bundle/ ">review of Awesome Widgets</a>.

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 10:17:20 -0600 Awesome Widgets Progress http://www.siroccosoftware.com/awesome/resource/viewnews?id=2 We have made some good progress with Awesome Widgets (Although not the website yet as you can probably see!) We currently have the following widgets: - <ul> <li>Sound - on / off / vibrate</li> <li>Wifi Toggle</li> <li>Flight Mode Toggle</li> <li>Bluetooth Toggle</li> <li>Lock on sleep toggle</li> <li>Brightness Toggle - low/med/high/auto</li> <li>Auto Rotate Toggle</li> <li>Auto Sync Toggle</li> <li>GPS Toggle (2.2 only)</li> <li>Torch / Flashlight</li> <li>Battery Indicator</li> <li>Lock Screen</li> <li>New Email</li> <li>New SMS</li> </ul> We have also added the ability to add shortcuts to installed apps.  This will allow as many as 12 shortcuts in a single 4x1 widget, saving a lot of space.  You do not need to fill up all 12 spaces, use a few or as many as your screen and fingers allow.  Should you want a single wide button, you have that option Wed, 24 Aug 2011 07:04:57 -0600
