Day Widget

** NOTE ABOUT NON-UPDATING DATE **
Please note that Day Widget is not under active development - changes in Android since it was first written have meant that on some devices the Widget does not update. Unfortunately I currently have no resource to investigate this issue.

** THE APP ICON IS NOT THE WIDGET! **
If you're looking at an icon that says "DAY WIDGET" then you're not looking at the Widget. You must install the Widget onto your homescreen yourself, in the usual way for Widgets on your phone. Consult your phone's support or help for how to do this. You can remove the App Icon if it got automatically installed by your phone onto your homescreen.


No permissions, tiny memory size, near zero CPU as it only needs to run for a moment at midnight. Clicking the widget opens your standard calendar.

All comments and ratings are appreciated. Thanks!

This app shows the date as a widget. The launcher icon is not the widget! Install the widget into an empty space on your home screen in the usual way, choosing Day Widget from the Widgets list. Please ensure the application is not installed to "external" or SD card memory, or the widget cannot work.

If the widget does not update, it might be a "battery saver" app or setting on your phone.
