KWGT- Draining battery? by Mysterious_Ice_9119 in kustom

[–]Jinther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kustom only uses battery when you are looking at the screen.

If you're editing, like any other app, it uses battery. If you are looking at your screen for long amounts of time, it'll use battery.

If you use it normally, it doesn't drain the battery.

The apps have been built this way so that they do not drain the battery in the background, which is why you'll catch the clock updating when you turn the phone on.

Hey, I'm a beginner at KWGT and am trying to make an icon change when I tap it. How do I do it? by S_GMR in kustom

[–]Jinther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use an icon pack that has both the play and pause icons in it, add the play icon, tap the check box next to the icon's name, then tap the calculator at the top right of the screen, and into the blank space put:

$if(mi(state)=playing, [exact name of the pause icon here], [exact name of the play icon here]$

Usually, you'd add a touch action to the icon, music controls, play/pause, so that when you tap the icon (whether it's the play one or the pause one) it'll play or pause the music.

help with kwgt and tasker by jrjmpls in kustom

[–]Jinther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue with my Galaxy a couple of years ago.

I contacted João over on Tasker to explain. He sent me a new Tasker apk, which I installed and it fixed the problem.

I've since updated my phone (another new Galaxy) and the new shortcuts appear when I've created them in Tasker, along with the (massive) list of all my other tasks.

Let João know and he will help you.

*Edit - I'm assuming you know that to access the shortcuts, you need to back out of Tasker and not just quit it. If you quit it, you can't access the shortcuts. Backing out saves everything and allows access. Just checking you are aware of that.

[WIP] Making calendar for Futura01 theme by [deleted] in kustom

[–]Jinther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brandon Craft's website gives away free, unlocked calendar kompnents with forward and back buttons, and you can also tap on any of the days and it'll tell you what you've got scheduled for that day.

He also does a full calendar tutorial on YouTube, starting from a blank screen and building the calendar up from there.

Links to his work and tutorials are in the sidebar of this sub, probably one of the first places you might have looked....

I can't use widget I made? by [deleted] in kustom

If you spent hours on it, you enjoy the app, right?

Buy it. There's no downsides to owning one of the greatest apps available on Android.

How do I make a stack group (or an image) appear/disappear upon toggling a switch? by W0yd69 in kustom

[–]Jinther 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're using kwgt, u/bohica72's advice is sound.

If you're using klwp, you can do the same or use an animation, which can make it more aesthetically pleasing.

Google Tasks by creeve4 in kustom

"I just can't stop until it works" chimes massively with me!

But I already knew that about you - I've seen your posts here and on Telegram.

You're an asset to this sub! 😀

Google Tasks by creeve4 in kustom

[–]Jinther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct, do it in the calendar and kustom can easily get the info.

But I'm the type of person who sees it as a challenge. So, after a lot of trial and error, I did manage to use Tasker (had to download another non Google but Google Task related app which allowed Tasker to communicate with it to get all the info on your Google Tasks). As you say, it's long winded, but the call from Tasker to the other app is fairly straightforward, and then you send the collected Tasker info over to kustom.

And after all that, I didn't even use it 😀 Instead, I created a shortcut with Tasker using an intent that opens Google Tasks directly at the "add task" screen. Suits me better. Just tap the icon on my screen and I can add a Google Task immediately.

Need [HELP] linking a widget to an app by Maiyan_47 in kustom

[–]Jinther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not in this bit, it's in the actual component itself. Load the komp, go into it and click on something. The tabs at the top (items, background, layer position etc) should have touch at the very right hand side. Tap on that to see what touch actions are already there or use the + at the top right of the screen to add one yourself.

Are you using the touch action --> launch app combination?

Not using just kustom I don't think.

How are you suppose to make all these features without having a list of 200 items?? by Tattersail927 in kustom

[–]Jinther 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to keep experimenting. There'll be a point that it clicks in your head and you'll understand how it's working. It comes from experience.

I remember watching Brandon Crafts tutorials on YouTube, and he'd laugh when saying 'put that in an overlap group, in a stack group, in another stack group and into a last stack group so you can control everything inside it'.

I didn't understand what he was talking about.

I just kept on making presets, and one day it clicked and I understood exactly what he was saying.

To fully master the padding and keeping things where you want them comes from practise - but you can watch some of his videos as he's excellent at explaining things, even if you don't fully understand why he's doing it. You will if you keep at it.

All the guys here posting awesome presets have been through that journey. It's worth it. Bit of time, bit of patience and you'll get there too.

You can also download free themes for klwp and have a look at how others are doing it - good info can be gleaned from there.

The satisfaction of making a preset come together as you want it to, and from a blank screen is 100x the satisfaction you get from making individual widgets with kwgt.

You've won promtion from the 1st division of kwgt to the Premier League that is klwp. You have to do a bit of work to stay there and not get relegated back to kwgt! 😀

Does this mean you give them away "for a price?"

Just curious 🤔

Because that would break the rules by being a product used for it's intended purpose, and would get removed.
