[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

I'm not sure this install includes the apps, like Allshare. After reading and then searching,i didn't see any references to it. It looks like its just the shell. Can anyone confirm? I would hate to add any more bloatware if I don't have to. I only want Allshare.

Correct its basically just the launcher shell

Its the fully working launcher, if your saying it does not have widgets your correct but no launcher comes with widgets. I know the guy its working on getting the widgets working as well.
I like rosie and the widgets the best my self, but the launcher works well but way to much like a iphone for me.

I can't install any of these without getting an application not installed warning.
Is there a work around?

confirmed... the launcher works fine on the evo. kinda plain with just the message and app icon on the bottom but the app drawer is nice. time to jazzy up the home screens a bit

Im with u....keeps giving me the same errors. do the phone have to be rooted or something

Any way to add more than just the message and app icon?

yea i really need a link to phone if im going to use it at all. exited for the widgets though.
note for anyone switching between this and other launchers, make sure you close this one when switching back if you dont reboot your phone, it will drain resources and battery.

Yeah its easy to add more icons to the bottom as seen in these pics, just while app draw is open hit menu/edit and drag the icons down and also you can re-order the apps as well.

ICS Google Search Widget Theme - High Res/Universal

Hey guys, just wanted to share an ICS search widget mod that works perfectly on our Notes. (Gingerbread) I found this app on the market awhile back, but was pulled down for an unknown reason. I did not write this app & unfortunately I do not even know who to give credit to.
Either way, this is the best method I've found for getting a high res ICS themed search widget - the voice icon also works perfectly. Just install the APK as you would any other application (file manager, root explorer, etc) and the widget will show up in your widget menu.
Here is a screenshot and download link :

Great find, I've been searching for this for ages! Cheers!

You'll need a launcher that allows you to resize widgets, otherwise it will be 4x1 like the stock widget. I use ADW EX w/ 6x1. I know Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, SPB shell 3d, and many others will allow you to resize it.

How did you get your dock to look like that? I have the background image and the ICS icons, however when I set the background that white line touches the top of the icons rather than there being a "gap" like there should be!

I use Kovdev's ICS theme which i believe works with ADW and Go launcher.

Just reporting it worked for me in my Ace...

Downloaded! Great share!! :thumbup:

[Q] Tablet launcher for a phone?

Hey.
I found out that the Go launcher for tablets works for my phone and delivers the same icon size and menues as it gives for the actual tablets.
But when i open it i allways get the menu of either downloading the one buildt for phones or quit the launcher.
Is there any way to bypass that message to continue to use it?
Or is there other launchers that delivers tablet UI to my 720p phone?
(Htc One x rooted)

The phone version works fine. Why a tablet view?

Because i love a big desktop on a "small" high res screen.

Why not just max out columns and rows on the one that works better?

Because i want to have the same UI and look as an tablet on my phone, but i cant seem to go into the root system of the launcher to remove the block cause the folder for the launcher is nowhere to find -.-

I got nothing. Yours is a strange need. Keep closing the prompt until you figure it out. Or just do as above and lock screen into landscape view.

Alright, i now got my galaxy s4 with a 1080p screen, is there any new or old upgraded launchers that allows resizing of text, icon size and collum numbers to make it look like a tablet theme?
Or perhaps a tablet made launcher which also works on phones?

You can try TSF shell and use it in landscape mode and increase the number of rows and columns
Or get Apex Launcher, this is free in the play store and allows to use it in tablet ui for phones but i dont know which one it is the normal or pro which is paid, sorry

[Theme][UI Concept][UCCW] Facebook Redesign inspired UI Concept

Hey folks,
I am pretty sure many of you have seen this amazing facebook redesign concept and I thought I'd make a new Homescreen UI based on it - I think with the big screen of our galaxy note, it's a cool Idea. However, I am neither really good at photoshop nor at using UCCW and right now the problem I got is, that I am not able to resize the UCCW correctly.

}
I am using Nova Launcher ATM and no matter what grid size I use or what size I set the UCCW Image, it never goes fullscreen. Maybe it is due to the new update? Any hints are welcome, right now either have to use SSLauncher or as a wallpaper with transparent shortcuts...
Well, I will be uploading my UCCWs here and if any of you is interested in creating some UCCWs based on this redesign (Like a themed calendar, music player etc. etc.) would be cool if you post them here. I am sure there are many better themers than me out here
Greetings

I've got an idea on how to share your theme easily with others. Use buzz launcher, add in your uccw stuffs inside, and share. Other than that its free

I have already used buzz launcher but it is too laggy and unstable in my opinion. I can upload the uccw already but well it doesn't fit to full screen so thats kinda bad atm, I cant get the scaling right ! (and also I want to make it somehow customizable for you guys so I gotta remove my profile pic ofc )
I will upload some more concept stuff tomorrow, watched the DFB Final today and I am pretty exhausted now... if you want to have a glimpse at my work with SS Launcher, you can check it out here, with many tutorials and files already:

Good luck with that mate waiting your work :good: btw where that new facebook with the redesigned UI ?

Here is a ZIP-File with the PNG's, maybe someone manages to resize them correctly for UZIP... but as far as I've seen, many users complained about the new update making widgets too small.
The Icons are from a paid icon pack called "Retrofied" btw, made by screenlicious, check his work out:
http://www.screenlicious.com/shop-2/
Also many free icons! I will continue working on some more tiles, stay tuned...
Greetings

Here's another UCCW, playing around with the Tiles UI...
