[Q] How to Get the Stock Moto Weather & News, My Gallery, My Music, Weather Widget
So I am about to upgrade to the new SuperCharged V6 thanks to our amazing devs but I kind of want to keep the stock Motorola My Music app (since it has nice internet radio and FM radio), the stock My Gallery (since it has built in editing), and the Weather widget (the one that uses Accuweather but has a cool bluish theme and is really nice). I am a noob, so can anyone tell me a way I could extract those or find them somewhere so I can install them onto the new ROM?
Edit: Sorry guys now that I have finally gotten SCv6 setup enough to be a daily driver, I have found that the My Gallery and My Music have been retained! I don't know what got into me when I created the thread (probably was thinking about Bullet?).
The Weather and Weather & News widgets have not been retained, however, so that is what I'm wondering about now.
I dunno about the weather widget since I don't think that I've ever used it, but My Music and My Gallery are preserved, so I don't see why a widget wouldn't be.
Can you not pull just those apps from a stock-based rom that has them included, and place them into the app folder within SCv6?

I was just in the hospital playing on my phone. I deleted Go Launcher and opened an app I found called Blur and it when through setup and threw me on the original moto blur launcher.
Sorry I was pretty drugged up and I cant remember the steps clearly...
so dont take my word for it.

I got stock Blur launcher working through Home Switcher, but that would probably not help if the original widgets were removed from the ROM. Thanks though!

Test #2 is up, and I now have enough posts to add urls in my posts, so you could probably delete the link you posted for me earlier.
I guess I'm not surprised this is so unpopular, because it's pretty much a cm-nightly... but we all appreciate any extra work and time spent for the benefit of the community. I grabbed it because it has gapps and gmaps already

Thanks for checking it out. I'm just getting started cooking, trying to figure things out. I know this is pretty simple, but I figured I'd make it available anyway for everybody who likes to keep it simple. I thought about making it market and gmail only, since market auto-downloads what you had installed anyway, but I figured that would just be too simple.
It looks like there is a lot of information available in the Chef Central forum, and everywhere else. Hopefully as I learn more about this, it will turn into something more interesting.

I'd remove that attachment if i were u. It's been removed from the market due to legal conflicts with Htc. Hence no mod would like to see that

It got removed because HTC didn't want people using what are essentially stolen parts of their UI on non-Sense devices. I don't see any mods removing ROMs containing Sense in their entirety. Removing it for that reason would be highly contradictory.
I'm also not using this, considering nightlies can be found here updated daily and the 'modifications' can be achieved by bashing a couple of commands in to the terminal.

It's different though. Htc hasn't complained or issued any cease/desist letters for htc sense roms, but has for paid apps that are very similar in ui to their proprietary apps. Refer to xda mods taking action here.

I didn't think there would be a problem since it wasn't a paid app and I have seen this in other roms. Maybe I'll remove it in my next version. Thanks for the heads up.
I have removed the links for now, until I get further clarification about including the Fancy Widget.
Delete. This. Post. Please.
neat, thanks!

It should be showing up in widgets once you move to system/app and then reboot. Not sure why its doing that. I really dont have an answer for you, if you know how to adb push you can try that, if not, try going to the miui dev forums and posting your question.
I see that all the us state files are named the same, how would I go about pushing them all as I have family and friends everywhere?
Edit that - i just pushed the first apk for a-g and its showing every city/state. Only thing not working is my location/gps, I had to manually select my city.
It looks very nice compared to other apps I've tried. I'll report back with any issues but it looks accurate

Hey OP what rom are you running in the screen shots?
No hay amor para México? Mexico is left out too.
Hello.
What is the font used in ROM on your screenshot?
Thanks
Probably a n00b question, but does it only work with rooted phones? Tried installing the apk with Astro on my LG Optimus One but it wouldn't install...
Meh I can't change Fahrenheit to Celcius...
For anyone wondering, the ROM in the OP is MIUI.
And MIUI Weather is much more than a widget. Heck, take a look at the actual app. Everything about it is beautiful and well executed. Check out the animations in the About screen. This app is amazing.
Celsius and other non US cities would be nice.

MarkHUK and Co. are working on it. They have the source code and are trying to make it so that database files aren't necessary, and that only one .apk will be needed.
In the meantime, if you would like your country to be made available, post your country codes to the MIUI Weather thread at miui-dev.com HERE.
I thought it was MIUI but it looks like there is an app drawer, which MIUI doesnt have, unless there is an app for that hahaha
It could easily be another launcher on top of MIUI. You aren't locked into using the MIUI launcher. You can use whatever you want.

Played with it last night and this morning and all the graphics and weather animations look amazing. There are 3 issues I see besides my location not working.
I can't change the time from 24 hour time format to standard am/pm and the widget/weather has no setting for when it updates, they just do it on their own. Also the widget doesn't update if you refresh the weather

It's in the Apps and themes section under LG apps or something like that. If you're not using a custom launcher like adw then then widget takes the entire screen. I am using MIUI Digital Weather, free on the market.

Right, I had this issue back on Froyo. I don't know why, but it only worked if I wasn't using a custom launcher. If you disable your launcher, it will work. I notice on 2.3.3 that LG calender widget doesn't appear on the widget menu.
I have the Stock LG camera on 2.3.3, zero lag.

Well, after pressing the button the camera has to adjust its focus and whatnot to take a good picture.

There is an almost identical one in the Market called 3D Digital Weather Clock. It will show up as a widget and works quite well.

That was the "almost identical" part of my comment. Sorry, I couldn't find an exact duplicate.
GO Weather is a similar widget and it's skinable to be flowery or several other things.

So, currently I have the (I think..) AOSP lockscreen. It looks nice and all, but I find myself missing the ability to be able to open my text messages directly from the lock screen. I found it extremely useful... I could go back to the default Froyo lockscreen, which of course has the functionality I would like, but I was wondering if there are any others around with the functionality I want, but with a... cooler? look? =]

Hello,
I installed MIUI v4 on my Desire S recently. I downloaded the port from miuiandroid.com. I am loving this ROM, but the weather widget doesn't seem to be working, and there appears to be no weather app installed. know about weather.miui.es, but what you get there is an older version of the widget which can't use your current location. I know this is a bit of a silly question which probably has a simple solution, but does anyone know what to do to get that widget working?
Thanks in advance.
There is no international version yet, sorry
That's a but of a pain... But there is still probably hope. Since I started this thread, I heard Xiaomi and miuiandroid.com are working on an international version of their weather widget, so let's hope it gets put together soon... By the way, do you know of any good looking, free weather widgets?
Nope, sorry mate
I'm not a weather kinda guy.
I use the window - it's high res!
I use the window too, but unfortunately, it doesnt show the weather for places I intend travelling too.

Have you guys tried MIUI Digital Weather Clock? - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=factory.widgets.MIUIDigitalClock
Or Fancy Widgets - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidgets
