[Apps] Genie Widget and Launcher2 from Nexus One

Here are 2 apps that I love on my Nexus that also work on the Evo. Just install with an app like Astro from the SD card.
Download the Genie Widget here
Download the Launcher2 here

Launcher2 is already built into the EVO at launch.

so what is the genie widget?

The Genie Widget is the News & Weather application/widget that's originally for the nexus one. I really like it.

Download Home Switcher and you'll see Launcher2 is the other thing built into the EVO other than SenseUI

Or search google and find out how to disable sense UI then when you hit home it asks you which you'd like to use. But I'll point out that if he is pulling Launcher 2 from CM then it may do the 5 wide plus it had some fixes.

I too like the genie widget but is there ANY way to configure the way the widget looks? I'd really just like to make the background solid black and all the text white. Is this possible? Or make the background transparent and the text black. Either would be great.

My evo didn't come with genie widget. It did come with that news/rss reader that is very similar though. But I like the weather in genie widget a lot more because you are really only one click away from radar and can actually see details about the forecast from within the app. The one that comes with the clock kind of sucks. Just tells the highs and lows but with the genie widget weather you can see what time its going to start raining and stuff like that.

Do you still have this. i have a version of Launcher2 but it's the cube app drawer type and the ADW looking home screen dock. I prefer the older style and i'm wondering if this is indeed what im looking for.
Thanks

Comments and suggestion are greatly welcome

Just install on my N1 working great !
How can we remove a widget ? just select one and change the size to 0 ?

You could either make the size zero or make the brightness zero.

Hi, works great on Nexus one.
Please can you tell me how to make our own one.
Best regards.

This is awesome. Which one is the first screenshot?
Also noticed the video had some not available to download.
Thanks

The first one is "Desire"
The wallpaper are created for each specific model, and hense not all are available for different screen size, We are hoping user will create the content themself the sample you see now are just but sample created to show what we are doing.
We are planning to release the tools to allow everyone to crate their own live wallpaper by the end of this month.

Please take into consideration that wallpapers made for the" Desire" will work with the nexus one/incredible/moto droid and a lot of other 3.7 inch screens. So please don't make the wallpapers phone model specific. And even if the screen size changes upto 4.3 the resolution is still usually 800x400.

Doesn't work for me. Well, that is, sometimes it works, but most of the time when I try to open or preview/customize a LWP, it doesn't show and give me a "check if your sdcard is properly mounted" error.

That's not an apk. That's a.zip

Thanks for sharing, it is nice and I have just downloaded. Enjoy, guys!

I like it
Wonder what damage it will do to the battery though!

So they caused the delay for 2.1 release. Probably they put hours in making this one and thought that it will all be wasted/
Now we all testing the battery.

the japanese has always something special and they keep proving this for us

There's a download link on the same page, just scroll down a bit and look closely

Besides the animated wallpaper I don't see any other reason to choose this over ADW. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the wallpaper without having to run this launcher? In other words, can I use the live wallpaper with ADW?

Really really nice.
I thought live wallpaper is only supported by 2.1 and not by 1.6 ?
Anyway the "one and only" big reason why I´m waiting for 2.1 is the change of stupid lock screen on 1.6. Doesn´t work sufficient enough for me. I tried some lock-apps too, but no app was "much better" than the original one. On every call I have to hope I can unlock the screen. But this one in this pack works perfekt. Thanks for sharing.

Only good point is live screen..ADW is far better..
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

This is awesome! Why the hell did they not release this earlier?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

well it's available only for japan... better late than never i think the apk is modded...
back to adw... i only like the lockscreen and the "live" wallpaper...
can somebody mod this to get only the lockscreen?

widgets not in full size, beautifull home weather its about 80 procent visible!
Bug or ....

Yup, I got that too.

When I'm receiving a call it reverts back to the old lock screen, and when I'm done with the call I'll have to first unlock the default screen, and after that the AmbientTime one. Is there any way to force the AmbientTime lock screen to be used when receiving calls? If not, I guess I'll have to stick with ADW.

In the first post the wallpaper is very colorful but mine is simple! why?

Good launcher, but for me it isn't enough to replace Launcher Pro/Go Launcher, mostly 'cause the lack of options and customizing...

Motoactv, post your homescreen here!

This is a thread for Motoactv users to post screenshots of their homescreens.

I'm on DP Rom, using Zeam launcher. The clock is a UCCW widget.
The 't' icon, is the Nook bluetooth tethering widget.
The only problem i have, is that when i turn my watch on, there is a split second delay for the UCCW widget to update to the correct time

No device should be without the mandatory "show your home screen" thread
I like your idea of using UCCW for the clock widget but found that using One More Clock has some nice presets already. Anyway, all I actually wanted to ask is what the best way for taking screen shots on the MotoACTV are... I'm spoiled with the pre-installed tools on my TF101 and the Note II but i still have a tool I downloaded from here a long time ago.
Thanks!

I use Screenshot Ultimate, with shake to take!

How did you install widgets? I'm on the latest DP rom and every widget that I've install doesn't show up under the list (only the stock ones do) when trying to add a widget to zeam launcher or launcher 7. I just tried one more clock with no avail.

You have to go into Manage Applications and find your installed widget, then click the "move to phone" button.
