Another non-root request.. GenieWidget...

Back over in the Dream section, someone got an earlier (pre Nexus) verison of the GenieWidget going on the Dream... then someone else posted a shot of a transparent version ...

But no one ever followed up on it. Could some genius and incredibly talented person (puts smoke machine away) cook this up for the Nexus? Replaces the existing one or "Clear News & Weather"???

Replacing the existing one without root is impossible, I'm not sure how much it would take to make a separate APK that coexists, but it's as simple as editing a .png file.
It should be easily doable with Metamorph, if/when it works with the Nexus One/2.1

Its insanely easy with root access. Doubt anything can be done easily without root access.

It might work without root. Just open up the .apk (from a system dump somewhere), and edit the .png's to be transparent. Then repack the .apk, and try installing it with Astro. I doubt it will work, being that it's a system app... but hey, give it a shot.
Is the one on your screenshot from a metamorph theme? If it is, link me to it, and if I have any time soon I will see about theming the one for the Nexus (not the Dream port) with the same .png's, and upload it here.

I wasn't sure, was thinking the way Google Maps got replaced by the new version in the market.. but a different name would work, just a second one (we gots a little ram to play with now).

No idea, the person that posted the screenshot it never responded with people asked for it.

To get the transparent background, just open up the .apk, go to the drawable-hdpi folder, and make the 3 appwidget_dark_by.9.png transparent. At least I think that is the name of them. To install on /data/app/ it will have to be resigned and I still don't know if it will install to there with you still having the one in system/app/ because you can't rm it without root access.

That's the transparent version. (I Pm'd him)
Whenever I try to install it on the N1 it says unable to replace.

Deinstalled the non-transparant version, installed this one and it worked perfectly (on a MT3G). Thanks for the link!!

the one that worked for the mt3g probably will not replace the images on the n1 because for the mt3g the widget background images are in drawable-mdpi, not hdpi. also, the easiest (well if you are comforable with adb) way to install is
adb remount
adb push AppName.apk /system/app/AppName.apk

Thanks for this, but I'm noticing some odd behavior. It installs and works just fine, until I reboot. Upon reboot it reverts to the stock MMS.apk.

hmm?

Never mind. I had been installing it using a file manager before. It would hold just fine until a reboot. I just pushed it via adb instead of installing from SUFBS and it's now staying installed. Thanks.

Launcher 2 mod - 5 column appdrawer!

This launcher has the 5 column app drawer. There are two versions. One for cm 5.0.5+ (due to some changes he pulled in from qualcomm) and one for everything else. Let me know how it works for you.
Just push it to /system/app via adb/file manager of your choice.
All roms that are not CM 5.0.5+
CM 5.0.5+

Make sure to follow me on twitter for my latest workings. Big thanks to TheDudesAndroid and especially ctso (ChrisSoyars) for their help.

Already using it, loving it. Looking forward to someone developing a 5 column home screen replacement. Maybe Doc.

will try this later, thanks persian

just an FYI
tested with Koush's cyanogen mod for Droid and it just FC's
rm /system/app/Launcher2.apk
then pushed
rebooted, still fc's
may try a wipe and push, but im not sure that will matter
edit:wiped data,syste,cache, reflashed koushs rom, rm'd and pushed. Works fine now! great work

Does this work on Desire?
It says "All roms that are not CM 5.0.5+" so just wondering.

loving this - just pushed it to /system/app and rebooted - everything works fine!

Works as advertised on CM 5.0.5!

If we have a launcher like helixlauncher2 from the market will this overwrite that?

Just installed it via "adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk" dunno if this was right
It's working great, only trouble was that it reseted all my widgets. Had to remove them and then put them in again and everything is running smooth now
Great job!

Dont "install" it. Get an app called ES file explorer or root explorer and put it in /system/app

Says web page not available for me. Don't know why?

OK found the problem. For some reason it had the https part twice?

Yup my browser is not working either. Different problem though. It force closes on me. I did use root explorer and overrided the other one.

same here man
i pushed it using Root Explorer and natinggg ;(

What now lol. Can some upload the regular browser.

havent done this yet, but have u guys changed the permissions after pushing the app to system/app?

Same here,been using dolphin browser since. Can't figure it out.

Lol me 2. We just need someone to upload the regular browser. Btw dolphin browser is way faster than stock.

Here is the original browser:

Im on CM7, idk if that has anything to do with it.?

Have you tried fixing permissions after pushing the file?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

U guys.....I pushed the black browser to system/app and then changed permissions, rebooted and it worked for me! I'm on cm7 and it shouldn't matter what rom ur using, if any! U HAVE to change permissions when pushing apks!
If u don't know how, u just push the file via root explorer (for example) and then press down on the pushed file, permissions, change them so the whole first column Is checked, and the first box of the 2nd column is checked and every other box is not checked

interesting.....it worked for me on the very first try....you're 100% you have the permissions set to what i said? and if so, push the original file again, and then do the process over, sometimes it takes a couple reboots to set it!

[Q] Google Calendar on Stock JB??

As the title says, when I was on ICS, i had Google Calendar and its useful widget, but on JB, it is gone.
Is there any way to get it back??

Mine is there....Is the entire application missing? I'd think being on stock none of that stuff would be touched/modified.

flash gapps

The .apk must be installed normally or it should be put in /system??
please help!

you have to install it to the system. try using a file explorer or adb, i prefer adb cos its faster. if you use root explorer, set the permission to wr-r-r. and you put it in /system/app

Did tried that, but it didn't worked either. After some little investigation, Calendar.apk was in system/app the whole time. It seems the problem comes from CalendarProvider.apk. I went to system/app, tried to install CalendarProvider.apk, and it gave an error, telling me that the same app was installed, but with a conflictive signing.
Can anyone provide me with a clean, JB version of CalendarProvider.apk??
the internets is full of the GB and ICS version of that one...
Thanks in advance.

I will upload one as soon as I get home. And make sure you have a root explorer and move the app to the folder and set permission wr-r-r.
