Android widget of the day: could this be the most adaptable widget?

First, you need to install the widget on your home screen. If you don’t know how to install a widget follow our guide.

You can set it up with a choice of four styles: Extended Controls (1x1), Extended Controls (1x2), Extended Controls (1x3), Extended Controls (1x4). Your choice will probably be determined by your home screen space.

Select the style and it will directly lead you to the settings page where you can change the look of the widget, prefered toggles, etc.

Click ‘Add new toggle’ and select toggles one by one that you want displayed on the widget.

You can change the style of the icon, widget background and background transparency in the ‘Theme’ section.

If you don’t like the background options the widget provides you can select an image from your device gallery to set as the widget background.

When you go to ‘Advanced’ it will reveal you more options like Show Notification, Show Wallpaper, etc. If you really like playing around with how it looks you can even enable a modify button on the widget for easy access changing its settings.

Once you have finished setting it up click ‘Profiles’ or ‘Apply’. You need to add a custom name for the widget before you set it on the home screen.

As the name implies, the ‘Extended Controls’ gives you tonnes of customizable options; you can end up with heaps of buttons on the widget; just remember not to crowd your home screen.
