General Are apps and widgets OS version specific?

http://androidforums.com – Recently got a lovely S3 and a nice collection of apps and widgets. With the imminent release of JellyBean does it mean that some of the apps and/or widgets might not work? Im guessing the answer is yes. If so, does it mean I have to go through every app and widget one by one and see if a JB version exists on the Store? Thanks David (General)

[APP] My Top Apps 1 year 13 weeks ago

No, This isn't just another post that provides a very long list of apps that someone decided that they are the best apps ever. This is an actual app that helps you understand what are YOUR top apps.

My Top Apps monitors the apps that you use and provides quick access to the apps you used recently, most used apps or the apps that you use for the longest duration.

The app is available for download

Hi am on Cyanogen Mod stable 9.0.0 android ICS 4.0.4 and for some time now I do not get new widgets when I install new apps. The apps I install are not on SD card.

noob question about widgets 22 weeks 5 days ago

so being new to android, i find this weird lol. so widgets are only available for apps that you have correct? and you can place either widgets or the app icon on the home screens?

also how do i resize widgets? i've pressed and held on the widget and the only options available are to drag somewhere else.

General 246 and BAD NEWS 30 weeks 4 days ago

So I went back to 905 and did the 246 update, though I didn't feel it'd be worth my while.

Got most apps installed, then had the Motorola home die and restart. Now I go into add widgets, only partial options appear for things, such as agenda widget(3 sizes appear).

Fancy Widgets and the RAZR 18 weeks 5 days ago

Hey everyone. I can't see to find any widgets for Fancy Widgets that I just downloaded. Any help on this? I go through the "Widgets" section of my apps drawer and nothing is there. A shortcut was created for my apps and I can see the settings etc etc but I have access to no widgets. This might be my biggest gripe w/ Moto and that's the way these are added.

I love this theme but want the widgets. I love the way they look with the theme. The dev did not link them.

Anybody know? I think I have seen a few of them before but can't remember where I might find them. I especially really want the clock widget and the weather widget in the second screenshot.

Thanks.

App developers are finding more and more ways to take advantage of Widgets in Android.

I found two clock widgets from Harry Potter! The gryffindor badge & the golden snitch in the form of widgets. Attached is a screen shot with both the widgets.

I've got a frustrating problem: I tried to put some widgets on my screen and can't do it. I tap "Apps", select "Widgets", then tap and hold the widget, then drag the widget to the part of the screen I want it on and release. The program opens after I release the widget but the widget does not stay on the screen. Can't figure out what the problem is. Running Android 4.1.1
