How to enable Tooyoou Widget on your Android device running Android 3.x and higher?

This is a post aimed at helping Android device users running Tooyoou App on their phones and tablets to successfully find and enable Tooyoou widget (billboard) on their devices. Assuming we all know how to enable a widget on devices running Android versions 1.6 (Donut) through to 2.3.x (Gingerbread) below are directions to enable your Tooyoou widget on Android devices running 3.x and higher (Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean).

Android being the ever changing and evolving OS that it is, sometimes even the goodness that comes out of it might make App developers and users gasp for breath in keeping pace with its changes. These progressive changes that make Android the phenomenal mobile OS it is sometimes leave App users confused as to how things work in the new version of the OS running on their sleek new gadget.

A perfect example can be a simple task of enabling an App Widget on an Android device. We have received quite a few emails and queries from Tooyoou App users running Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich on their Android devices that after installing Tooyoou they were unable to find Tooyoou widget on their Widgets list and had problems enabling it thus inferring that Tooyoou does not work on Honeycomb and ICS devices anymore.

Well, good news is that Tooyoou works for all devices starting from Donut up to Jelly bean devices without any problems and we are here to show you how.

Android devices running 3.x and higher (Honeycomb through to Jelly Bean) - 
this is how you enable Tooyoou widget after installing Tooyoou. Screen shots below were generated using Ice Cream Sandwich (Android v 4.0.4)

a) Go to your home screen after installing Tooyoou on your Android device. 
Press Apps Launcher button as shown in the image below.


b) You will see this screen next where you can navigate under All Apps drawer to check if you have Tooyoou installed successfully on your device.


c) Now Press Widgets in the right hand top corner beside All Apps and then swipe through the list to find Tooyoou widget.


Please note and always keep in mind that on Android devices running Honeycomb and above you might not be able to find Tooyoou widget in the Widgets list right after installing Tooyoou from Google Play. Restarting / Rebooting your device will resolve this issue. As far as we know this has been reported as a defect to Google Android team here

d) Once you have found Tooyoou widget in the Widgets list press and hold the widget and place it on your home screen wherever you have space for a 4 by 1 widget.


e) That's it! You have successfully enabled the Tooyoou widget on your Android device running Ice Cream Sandwich.
