KWGT widgets stuck on loading for Z Fold 6 OneUI 8

Recently updated my Z Fold 6 to OneUI 8, and since then my KWGT widgets are stuck loading when switching between phone being closed and open. I don’t believe this issue occurred in previous OneUI versions.

In my testing:

  • it’s best replicated when the Z fold 6 is closed and awake using the outer screen, then phone is directly opened to the inner screen. Seems like the switch between layouts is where the issue occurs, as on the z fold’s the inner and outer displays have distinct layouts.
  • it seems to only happen with KWGT widgets
  • all widgets load once any widget is opened and saved from the editor
  • widgets that are frequently updated, i.e. progress bar, or time with seconds, seem to load better, although not guaranteed
  • widgets may eventually load once updated based on function, i.e. time with minutes will load once a new minute is reached
  • issue seems to mainly occur in the inner screen/when opened, but I can see the outer screen still has an initial load at times, but is relatively fast (still not ideal)
  • the content of the widget seems irrelevant as even just text widgets have the issue

Screenshot of issue (media player can also get stuck loading)

Another screenshot of the original widgets loaded correctly:

Are you on latest release? I see you have a music player so i guess Kustom has also access to notifications, is that correct?

Yep, I believe so. According to KWGT settings I’m on v3.80b522706, and on the Play store there don’t seem to be updates. I’m also not in the beta programme.

And yes, Kustom has notification permissions.
