One of Android’s greatest strength is customisation. UCCW takes this idea further to let you customise widgets on homescreen. Even without rooting your device or installing a custom ROM or installing a special launcher, you can do some incredible things to shape your phone to be just the way you want it. UCCW, or Ultimate Custom Widget, is a widget that lets you place custom clocks, battery meters, weather info, and just about anything else right on your homescreen. There is a sheer number of skins available on Google Play and shared in various forums, and more skins are being added all the time.

Customization is often a difficult process, but not with UCCW. Just install a skin, and tell UCCW to show it or make your own skin.

UCCW offers a WYSIWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor allowing to customise layout, fonts, images, shapes, etc.

Features:

Widget objects - text, shapes, images, weather, graphic (progress), analog clock etc.Text objects - calendar, weather, battery info, missed calls, sms, gmail, location, next calendar event, tasker variables Graphical objects - barcode, bar, pieSpecial objects - Week bar, Series clockText mapping to override text valuesHotspots (actionable areas on widget)Share skins with one pressAbility to customize objects for size, color, tranparency, fonts etc.

Issues:

Widget not updating 1. UCCW may be killed by task killers. So exclude UCCW in task killers.2. Could be a launcher app issue; Try a different launcher.

Getting force closes 1. Uninstall UCCW and install again.2. Check if Force closes are occuring with a particular skin; discard that skin.3. Send a logcat if force closes continue.

Skins do not show 1. Google play skins may not appear for some custom roms or if screen density is changed.
