KWGT Frequently Asked Questions#

Why KWGT needs to display a Notification?#

Kustom to work properly needs to be always running, the notification can be disabled by removing Kustom from battery optimized apps, a full explanation is available at here.

Can Kustom Widget update every second?#

Android Widgets do not know if they are currently displayed or not, this means that they will run also when you are using another app like a browser (even if Kustom widget never updates when screen is off it still doesn’t know if you are actually looking at it or not when screen is on), so, from a technical point of view KWGT could update every second but the feature has been disabled to avoid battery issues or performance issues when very complex presets are being used. This could change in the future if Android OS or Launchers will add a better support for this

KWGT widget not updating or delayed#

There are times when your KWGT widget seems to be stuck. The data on it, like time or weather, is not changing or delayed. When this happens, you can check on the following.

First, make sure that KWGT is allowed to run in the background as a service and is not being blocked by some optimization tools. This includes your device’s own battery optimization functionality. Other 3rd party apps like Greenify, Purify, or Samsung’s Smart Management can also cause this kind of issue.

Send a Variable from KLWP to KWGT#

You can share data between Kustom apps using the Send Data action in a KLWP flow and the $br() function. This allows you to trigger changes or display dynamic data in, for example, KWGT directly from KLWP.

KLWP Setup#

1. Create a new Flow in KLWP.
2. Add a Trigger (e.g., on touch, time, or event).
3. Add a Send Data action to the flow.
4. In the Send Data action:
   • Set Target to KWGT
   • Set Variable Name to foo
   • (Optional) Set the value as needed, for example Hello KWGT!

KWGT Setup#

1. Add a new Text item in your KWGT widget.

Unable to add more than a certain number of KWGT widgets#

Unfortunately some devices from China, like Oppo, added a non sense limitation to its launcher. There is a limit on the number of similar widgets you can add to your homescreen. Some you can only add one and for some you can only add up to five depending on the device. This is something that we cannot fix from end. It’s really annoying because it is definitely not the standard Android behavior. The only solution is to use an alternative launcher such as Smart Launcher or Nova Launcher.

Widget keeps resizing by itself#

On some devices, KWGT widgets will automatically resize by themselves. This can be triggered in different ways. Mostly, when the device is being restarted. The issue is commonly encountered on devices with multiple screen dimensions like foldable devices. Here are a couple of things that you can do to try to get around the issue:

• Please ensure that widget sizing is not set to “Auto” in app settings.
• Check that your device rotation is detected correctly in the settings it should show something like “Default (Landscape)” if it’s not your correct location force the correct one.
• Always resize the widget before loading it, so add the widget and then long press on it and drag the borders to bring it to its final size, then finally click on it to load the preset.
• If not already scaled correctly adjust widget size using “scale” option in the layer tab.
• On devices with multiple screen dimensions, you can detect the screen dimension using the “si” formula, like $si (swidth)$ or $si(sheight)$, and have our widget respond accordingly
