[FEATURE] Force widgets to be resized.

[fnldstntn]

Describe the feature

Force widgets to be resized as we want. For example, Firefox search widget is 6x2, i want to resize it to 4x1 but doesn't allow me to resize it vertically.

Why would it be useful to add?

Better placement on the home screen.

Did the feature exist in Lawnchair v2? (Play Store version)

Yes

I tired out the latest Dev build #1040, still can't resize the widgets freely

Hmmm, I guess it can still be improved. It works fine on the widgets I have. As far as I know, that's a Pixel widget and I don't have one so I cant test that one but can you tell me another widget that I can test this issue on?

The first (music widget) is from: https://github.com/KieronQuinn/AmbientMusicMod

The second widget is from Google Digital Wellbeing, you can install it from apkmirror, if it didn't come pre-installed.

For Reference You Can Check Out The Nova Launcher Widget Resize, It Pulls it Of Perfectly.

Thank You

@yasandev i see the new dev update added 20x20 Grid Size as experimental feature, still it doesn't help to force the widget to resize and the size adhere to Lawnchair grid size

I tested on v2, the widgets are independent of Homescreen grid size and can be resized just as the way we wanted

Maybe The Lawnchair 12 uses the new Api, That's what blocking the widgets to force resize?

"Android 12 introduced a way for widget providers to limit how much the user can resize it"

[yasanglass]

The new experimental feature is completely unrelated to this issue even though it can potentially affect this issue.

The force widgets patch I did was just a commit from Trebuchet. I have plans to work on a fix for the reported bugs of the feature, don't worry.

hello, is this feature still in the latest 12.1.0 alpha 4 ? I can't manage to force resize a widget, but it might be a specific case with this one ? thanks and sorry for bumping this old issue
