Yeah, it looks absolutely great Slayer. How about the keyboard starts loosing keys or they start getting bent out of shape? But I'm sure what ever you come up with will look great. :-)

Don't forget get us if you start working on anything new Slayer, got no probs testing any stuff you make. :-)

Lol go look at the thread, already had that thought. I will post a beta file out once i finalize what to make. Looks like loosing keys idea may be the ticket.
 
Looking really good Slayer. Your widget is a certain permanent fix on my home screen.

How about some premium features Slayer..

Being able to take a screenshot of your home screen and having the option to apply this the the widgets own screen? Or generally being able to apply any image to the widget home screen, although I would think that option might be a pain in the butt to apply!

Maybe even a setting so we could pick the power supply plug ie having a British 3 pin plug? :P

Just floating some ideas. :)
 
OP (SirSlayer)
I am quite disappointed and very skeptical regarding this download. What happened to my device (after downloading this widget) makes me question your credibility.
I don't mean to offend, and yes it is possible that the widget is ok and something just went wrong this one time, but my new TF Prime really started acting VERY STRANGE after downloading and trying to use your widget. I'll try to explain.

My device was working just fine, then I downloaded the widget. I then also downloaded the custom one (on top of it?). When I downloaded them there was a popup about 'user password'...or something to that effect. I said 'No' both times.
I went into Widgets to locate this new dual battery widget...but it was not there. I checked and rechecked and it was not there. I went into the File Manager to look into the 'Download' folder. I opened the download folder....and after trying to scroll down it said 'File Manager has shut down'...or something to that effect. I repeated several times...and the same thing happened again and again.
I gave up....and went on about doing other things. I opened up some videos and they did not play properly (video and audio were out of sync). I tried several videos and even other players....but the results were always the same. I decided to go back and do some more checking on the widget download. I went back into Widgets and nothing was there, I went into File Manager 'Download'...and had the same problem....it shut down after trying to scroll !
Other things were acting strange, but I don't remember what right now. I only remember being quite frustrated and upset, because my new device was screwing up...and I didn't know why. I suspect(ed) 'something' (bad) happened when downloading your widget. All I wanted was to get my device back to proper operating condition as soon as possible,.....So I went into File Manager 'Download' and did a 'Select All' and deleted everything in that folder. I then did a system shutdown and rebooted. After doing all that my device seems to be fine once again....at least I hope so !
I have nothing against you (personally) but I'm still left wondering what in the hell happened?!
Have you gotten any other feedback mentioning any sort of problems similar to the ones I encountered from anyone else that has downloaded this widget?

I'm ok now, my device seems to be fine, but I was pretty pissed last night when these problems occurred. I hope no one else has the same experience. It was quite unnerving and frustrating. It wasn't fun.
I hope this was a 'one off' anomaly.....and that your widget works just fine for everyone who tries to download it. Sorry to say....It just didn't 'work' well for me.

Glad to hear that. I'm thinking the widget is ok.....it's just that I'm very wary of malware....and this was my first attempt at downloading something from outside 'the Market'.

I see you've rooted your TF Prime. May I ask why? Is it really that advantageous to do so?
I guess I have the same question regarding your over clocking. I can't see the info from this window....was that on your phone, or on your Prime?
 
put lookout mobile security on your tablet it scans your apps when you install them and lets you no if there safe, its free in the market.
 
rooted because i love the apps adfree which blocks all ad popups in games and setcpu i like to set my cpu govenor at on demand which helps save battery when your not rooted its set at interactive and theres quickboot which let you reboot your tablet with one click no more powering off then powering back on for a reboot lol but thats just a few theres lots of root apps
 
OP: So you are the mastermind behind this must have widget I have seen on many forums and user video reviews on youtube! This is amazing. Where can I find more of your work?

Sorry you had issues, while one of the items you mention in here is a known issue and I used to list it, it was solved by an Asus update. So I would be curious of what version you are on. The known issue was using asus file manager crashing when opening the directory with an APK in it. It did not happen to all apk's but certainly happened on this one. But was fixed with the latest OTA .14 (Just tested again and was working). The work a round was to load astro file manager or any other file manager and you are able to open the directory. You are the first of about 1000 people that have mentioned having video issues after loading my widget. I will keep an eye out on that though i play videos all the time and have had no issue. Again I am sorry to hear you had issues and hope they get worked out. And I would still like to know what version you are on....if it is .14 then I would like to know the exact widget you downloaded.

Thanks.

Check out my stuff on XDA. I build an evo 4G theme and my team ported it over to the evo 3d and stays true to what I built. Its the cyan dragon theme....with some variants.
