Vimtoman Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 I've just downloaded the official Standard widget pack from Google Play.Does this have widgets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 A widget pack probably has widgets, yes. But what do you want to know about them? They install like any other Android widget (e.g. long-press on some space on a home screen and choose the widget you want to install).

Vimtoman Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm new to android so not sure of the procedure to start a widget. Long press just brings up choose wallpaper ! I'm Guessing this does not work on Kitkat. Am I correct? There is a comment on Google play "This is not supported on Androids 4.0+ and won't work properly there."

andrewilley Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 If your phone doesn't allow the quick route to install widgets, open the App Drawer (i.e. where you get a full list of all the applications on your phone). From that screen you can also choose to see a list of available widgets too. Again, exactly how you do this is a bit device dependent, but normally you should be able to either directly click on the widget you want, or press-and-hold to drag it onto a spare bit of homescreen. Placing widgets on homescreens definitely works on KitKat! If you still can't do it, let us know exactly what device you are using and I'm sure someone will be able to tell you how to place a widget on it.
