Homescreen widget 4x1 uses too much space
I want to use the widget "time" with size 4 x 2 on my homescreen, but there is too much free space. In fact one row is occupied which can't be used for other content.
Would it be possible to make the widget size 4 x 1? I am pretty sure this would also work for the text content. Thank you in advance!


I'm not sure what's happening here, I added the 4x1 widget to my home screen, it looks like the image above.
Could you click and hold on the widget, until the size frame appears, then take a screenshot and post here?
That's interesting - there is no 4x1 widget for me.
4 widgets are available: 4x3, 2x2, 4x2, 4x2. The one you're showing does not exist for me!

So, the way these were designed, we have 4x2, 4x2, 2x1, 4x1. I'm not surprised, there are a few areas of the code with problems, which haven't been maintained in a while. Android feels 'high maintenance' to me
All those widgets exist, but they render incorrectly/unexpectedly on later versions
