FlyScreen will announce today that their newest version (2.0) supports native Android widgets. This means you can add some of your favorite Android widgets right into the mix with the FlyScreen ones. For the time being, users will be limited to a total of two native widgets, but FlyScreen developers have plans to increase this number in the not-so-distant future.
As an added bonus, other developers can now make their own widgets. FlyScreen’s dev team wanted to make this as convenient as possible, so they decided to go ahead and document their best practice guidelines, which will appear on their API wiki (note: you’ll be able to find a link for this on their blog once they officially announce the new version). FlyScreen’s CEO, Itamar Weisbrod, told me, “Even though [FlyScreen] could support any widget, we have some space constraints (because of the sliders), so devs can easily follow [the guidelines] to get up and running [with their widgets]. Weisbrod also noted that themes will be fixed in the next version of FlyScreen (numbered 2.1–for now).
In regard to the lock screen issues some users have experienced, FlyScreen’s team is working diligently with the right people at Google to try and find a fix. However, no need to put on your patience hat, the newest version is definitely worth checking out as soon as it makes it’s way to the market.
