Installed Dashboard X.. and I downloaded the Clock Widget for Dashboard X

I can only enable it on the dashboard and not on my home screen, only 3 of the default widgets show up on the home screen section..

Weirdly,

Ive removed dashboard X... but a "long hold" on the screen still loads up the widgets screen!

Help me!

I see you fixed your problem, but instead of creating another thread, I thought I'd post my Dashboard X problem here instead...

I have Dashboard X installed and have successfully enabled the weather widget. However, whenever I shut my screen off and then turn it back on, the widget disappears. I have to respring for it to come back. If I just try to add the widget again without respringing, then I end up having two widgets on top of each other when I respring.

So I can't figure out why it keeps disappearing? Any ideas?

likely a bug, the exact same issue occurs for me as well.
 
tacking on another question, do your widgets seem to progressively shift leftward? i would set them in the bottom middle of the screen and either through entering then exiting an app, or turning from landscape to portrait mode and back, and then the widgets would get off-center. anyone else?

edit: i should mention that this is on my ipad 4. didn't see that this thread was for iphone. but on my iphone, the music widget also just keeps disappearing.

I am also having a similar issue.

If I lock my phone without first returning to the home screen, leaving Facebook and then pushing the sleep button for example, the widgets don't appear when I unlock the phone and press home to get return to the home screen.

If I first exit the app, lock the phone and unlock it, the widgets load fine.

Yes, as I stated this is an addressed issue. Ori postponed the fix of this, most likely due to a hard code or just different priorities!

I've also heard he's working on getting the widgets to take place, that is, having the physical form on the springboard as well and not just overlapping.

I'm looking forward to all of this. :p

I actually posted a slightly different issue. Either way, I searched a couple times to see if this was a known issue and came up with nothing.

Where do you see that the developer is working on a fix?

If you pledge time on contact it's proving result.

A patch has been fully submitted to Cydia now. I think it's out, let me check.

GTrends has been updated with an offline mode. That's great.

And there is no evidence of DashboardX atm but I guess saurik missed it somehow. Also, the host is unreachable.
