Stock Android Widgets?

Is there any place to download stock android widgets? (ie. weather, calendar, music player, etc).
If so, are they simple .apk's that you install, or would you need to be rooted and do some manual modification?
Thanks in advance.

The widgets are built into their respective apps.

maybe u can adb pull em, but i have never tried it. Would be nice to have some standard apps on a modded rom.
The standard clock/weather widget... i cant even get that when using adw.launcher/launcherpro :S

[Q]Where is DeskClock app on Khal's MIUI V2 ROM. Please help

I installed Khal's MIUI ROM successfully. But there is no Desk Clock on the Home Launcher pages. I used the "search" button on my phone and type "clock" so I can found it and use it.
But is there any method to make a icon on the Home Screen for quick use later. Please help me. Thank you.

Is there any solutions. If you don't know just let me know, or you guys look down on me.......

You can use MIUI clock widget and just click on it to launch the clock app. Alternatively you can use a different launcher.

You can try going into manage applications & clearing the cache and/or data on Launcher2

im pretty sure the clock app is in the tools folder on the home screen. my phones at motorola getting fixed so i cant look right now.
@CrystalShield no one looks down on anyone here. well at least they shouldnt. we have all had problems and it never hurts to ask. thats why we all come here, for community support

@easye420: I am sure that when I install the ROM of Khal of MIUI in this link. There is no app call "DeskClock" on home screen. I can list them here.
Page1: Gallery, Camera, music, Settings, Root Explorer (it's mine) , [Chinese something] and Theme manager.
Page2: Some Google Apps, facebook, memory, overclock, fast boot, twitter, and FM Radio.
page3: Wireless tether, Voice Search, News and weather and some of my apps (because everyone know our apps will stay at the end the these)
But I also use the "deckclock.apk" in /system/app to run the Clock. But i want it stay on my screen. I try use Shortcut, but when I click the shortcut, it "open App Manager" (like when we try to Run a APK file in ASTRO) and I also need to click on "launch" to run the app. It isn't what we want when we try to make a shortcut for an application, is it?
@3rdstring: I did, but it restore to original (still don't have it on Home).
Is there any solution for me.
By the way, Thanks all you guys very much. English is not my first language, if there is something impolite or immodest in my words. I'm sorry.................
And I am also newbie of this forum, so I don't have enough 10 posts to post and ask in the Development Box. That why I disturb you guys here. Sorry about that.

Reinstalling the app works. I just move the apk out from /system/app and install it as if it's another use app.

I have the same problem. Copying and installing doesn't work as the app has 0 bytes (!) and I always get the parsing error-obviously
If someone could upload the original with its proper size that'll be lovely.
Thanks.

I removed the DeskClock.apk from /system/app. But when I use the "search" button and type "clock". It's still there (and of course it still can be used). I have no idea about where the real app is.
It's really weird for me.(of course because I don't have enough knowledge)

This is what i do to get deskclock app to show on the screen.
1)Using root explorer copy the deskclock.apk from system/app to sdcard.
2)Using root explorer again delete deskclock.apk from system/app and in data/dalvik-cache look for [email protected]@[email protected] and delete it.
3)Restart ur phone.
4)install the deskclock.apk from sdcard and the app should appear on your screen.

Use launcher pro. Its faster, sexier and will show all your applications!

Music app safe to delete/rename?

I have player pro installed and was wondering if it's safe to either rename with.bak or delete the default music app or still android throw a fit? Also is it safe to delete the extra keyboards since I use Swype and no longer need the Samsung or aosp jellybean keyboard? Was my sure if certain default apps are needed if only as place holders or not

[Q] Convert Stock Messenger to a GO SMS PRO theme

Hi everyone, this is the first time that I will be posting here in xDA, and yes I admit it that I'm still a noobie. I just want to ask if is it possible to convert my STOCK MESSENGER to a GO SMS Pro Theme?? Basically I have here my Xperia SL, and what I did is that,
--> I purchased a GO SMS Pro Xperia Z theme at Google Playstore
--> I used a Root Explorer and extract all of the contents of my Stock Message app which is "Conversation.apk" through /system/app/Conversation.apk
--> I used Root Explorer to extract the .apk of "Go SMS Pro Xperia Z theme" app through /data/app/com.jb.gosms.pctheme.metroxperia-1.apk
--> and I deleted the folder "res" of this Go SMS Pro Xperia Z theme using Winrar and replaced it with the "res" folder from the contents of the extracted .apk "Conversation.apk" (which is the stock Messenger app of Xperia SL)
--> And when I installed them, it failed.
I know this is such a hilarious idea, but is it possible? It's because I like how crispy the interface of the Stock Messenger of Xperia SL. But I like it to be also in Go SMS Pro because you have control over the LED light in GO SMS Pro when you are receiving SMS messages, not like the Stock Messenger which also has LED light notification but you have no control over it. I tried to use 3rd party apps of LED light control from Google Playstore, but they're just crap. XDA Gurus, Masters, Experts, Scientists, Weird, Grand Masters or Rabbi, please help me

First. Put your phone down before you brick yourself permanently. Graphic files can not be changed out like that. You have to decompile the apk and then change the images out with like images and then recompile. As this is a paid theme you will break the sig for it and it wont install anyway. Best bet is to learn to properly make your own theme. Or even better ditch go sms all together.

[Q] Icons on App Drawer are mixed up after REBOOT

Hi!
I used the default launcher of our XL..
On my home screen, I made 5 Folders for Web, Social, Games, Misc, and Japanese Language apps..
And I put at least 3 apps on every folder..
On my app drawer, I made folders for Google,Utilities, Games,Desktop, Sony, and Camera apps..And some individual apps like MX Player, recorder, calcu, ES file explorer, settings, TiBackUp, Speed Test and Greenify..
After every reboot of my phone, some of the icons(specially the user installed apps) are not on their folders on the home screen I made and have been lined up again on the app drawer.. Did some users experienced the same thing?any suggestions??
Thanks..

try to clear data of "Xperia Home".
You will lose all customize setting on homescreen.
Make again 5 folders and see if that works?
I am also trying to figure out exactly what reason that could be.

Has anyone ever figured out what causes it or how to fix the situation? I have the same issue with my Xperia Z1. App Drawer folders just disappear on reboot, sending the contained apps all over the drawer.
Tried both things (App Data Reset and specifically deleting data of Xperia Home) to no avail.

Move all apps from internal sd to phone, this will solve most issues. It's the same with modified icons & names in custom launchers when the apps are on the internal sd. It's because these apps are loaded after the launcher loads.
