How can I move the app to the internal storage?

[mbridon]

I just read in the app's FAQ that to be able to see the app widget, the app needs to be installed in the internal storage rather than an SD card.

I just installed the app through f-droid and have no idea where it got installed 😕

How can I verify that, and if it is in the SD card how do I move it to the internal storage? 🤔

It is most likely installed on the Internal storage. You can find more information and change storage in Settings ➜ Apps ➜ Fossify App ➜ Storage.

What device are you on, and which app is your question about?

So, it seems my launcher app is BlissLauncher.

How do I find this list of widgets? Searching for "widgets" in the settings returns no result. 😕

It's the same process as other apps. Have you never set up a widget on your home screen?

• Long-press on the home screen
• Tap Widgets
• Look for the Fossify Clock widgets
• Drag and drop or tap once (depends on the launcher)

Never, no 🤷

When I long press on the home screen I just get a single short vibration, nothing else... 😕

Ok, I just found it:

So I now have the widget for the clock, thank you. 😊

However, it just shows me the clock itself, which is disappointing. 😞

The reason I wanted to look into widgets in the first place was because I thought that might have been how to get the timer countdown displayed while I'm multitasking (e.g watching a Youtube video while I'm cooking 😛).

The default Clock app on Samsung phones does that, so if I multitask on any app (whether a movie, a Signal conversation, or anything else...) I get the timer countdown disaplayed over the other app, and I thought that was what widgets would do.

So I guess now I'll be off to opening a feature request then, asking for the countdown timer to be displayed live in the widget. 😁

Thank you though, this specific discussion is now resolved. 😉

That does not sound like a widget. Widgets are confined to the home screen.

No idea how to call this, but it works beautifully:
