mvdweer 4 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 With the new Evernote widget for Android, it's not possible anymore to add a single task (1x1) widget to my (home) screen. On my home screen I only have space for 1x1, maybe 2x1, not for a 4x1. Further, I'm only using New text note (probably 'New simple note' now) and Search, so I don't even want to see the other options on my home screen, because it will only take up unnecessary space.This way, the new widget is quite a productivity killer for me...

If you're still not seeing it on your device could you please send me your device model and OS information, as well as any info on any custom launchers you may have installed. Thanks! Link to post
mvdweer 4 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Yes, I found out yesterday evening that the 1x1 was not a widget but a shortcut (on the HTC One M9). Happy again Thanks for your reply anyway. Link to post

Happy again Thanks for your reply anyway. That's my phone and I have the same problem. What is a shortcut and how do I get that? I'm not looking to add a specific note, but a "Mic" icon so I can record thoughts on-the-fly. Only have 1x1 worth of space? An icon like OneNote's would be awesome! Link to post
Solution mvdweer 4 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Solution Share Posted April 1, 2016 @TJudeWhen I press long on an empty space on one of the screens on my HTC, I get a menu where I can choose the option 'add Apps and widgets' (because I translated this from Dutch, the option you see may be named a bit different). If I do this I see a menu with widgets. In the left top I can press on 'widgets' and select the options 'Apps' or 'Shortcuts'. If I choose 'Shortcuts' I see a number of icons and among it there is an icon called 'Evernote actions'. If I select it I see a screen where I can choose which action it should have. There is also the action 'Audio' for recording audio. Then I can select the Notebook where I want to save the new note and the color of the icon. When I'm ready I press 'Done' at the right bottom of the screen and voila! Hope this works for you too! 1 Link to post

Matt W. 172 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hi @TJude, In all fairness, different Android devices have different functionality and launchers. The variables are endless almost, so it is very easy to overlook options. Please be sure to let us know if you have any further questions. @mvdweer keep on representing! Link to post

Yes, of course. I see two widgets 4x1 and 4x4 list, but there is no 1x1 widget, like it was on my Galaxy Note 3. Understand, that this is the question to Xiaomi, but cannot find an answer. And cannot find shortcuts section in the phone. Permission to create shortcuts is turned on for Evernote. Edited October 23, 2016 by luckfinder Link to post
Level 5* gazumped 7,373 Posted October 23, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hmmn. My view includes the 1x1 widget - and I'm running the latest beta. What version of Android do you have on that device? Link to post
luckfinder 0 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 android 6.0.1 MXB48T miui8.0.5.0 global stable Link to post
Level 5* gazumped 7,373 Posted October 23, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted October 23, 2016 Strange. That's the same as my device. Must be an OEM difference for some reason. I'd suggest you contact support directly if you can, or message them on Twitter - and have a go at Xiaomi too..! Link to post

There you'll probably find your answer :-) In short: In the list with the widgets I can press on 'widgets' (it is a drop down menu) and then select the options 'Apps' or 'Shortcuts'. If you select 'Shortcuts' you will find the 1x1 widget for Evernote. Hope it helps! 2 Link to post
DmitryG 1 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 @mvdweer Unfortunately, your answer is for HTC. At least on Xiaomi Redmi 4A when you select Widgets - there is no dropdown to choose between Apps and Shortcuts 1 Link to post

Maybe it's with your other shortcuts? I found the 1x1 widget among the shortcuts and not among the widgets... So maybe you just need to look for the shortcuts and not for the widgets. Hope you'll find it! Link to post
JT80 0 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 @luckfinder, @DmitryG, was there ever a redolution for 1x1 shortcuts for xiaomi Miui? just moved to xiaomi recently and this issue is making it hard to get set up properly. thanks in advance. jon Link to post
luckfinder 0 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 There isn't. Just to setup alternative launcher. I use Nova Launcher. Hope that Xiaomi will repair it in MIUI9. Link to post
JT80 0 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Okay. Sad news but thanks for confirming this. Link to post
