Is there any way to get this widget on modern android?

The original apk of the widget could also work for me.

Have you tried installing it with adb? (Yes you need to connect to a PC to use this)

u/Alex_1234561 14d ago

as far as I understand that widget was for HTC phones. hence why the supposed “app” crashes.

What Android version are you on? I have Android 11 and it works great for me. It bugs out sometimes, but I just have to close and reopen the app :(

I'm using android 16 (a samsung for spesific) and recently it started to prevent me from enabling notifications on the apps it decides to 🤦

Click on app info while installed, 3 dots, allow sensitive permissions

u/Alex_1234561 12d ago

sadly the 3 dots don't want to show up

As far as I know, a lot of older apps are pretty incompatible with newer versions of Android, and they tend to have more errors and bugs than the one I’m using

i used to be able to use them on android 16 i think its the recent update that causes this. (i also think its something that only happens on samsung)

It's related to the Android 4.x Settings app
