Hey guys. The title is a little weird but I just wasn't sure how to word it.
Recently beautiful widgets has updated their whole system. And I really don't like the new version at all. Thankfully I had just backed up my rom before I updated it so I just restored it back to what I had.
Here comes the question part. Can I take my currently running beautiful widgets apk (non updated) so that if I ever accidentally update it I can revert back to how I like it. Also if I did this could I install the same apk on my galaxy tab 2 and have it work fine?

Try "appsaver" it's in the play store. It has always worked for me.

-Backup the old apk on your sdcard. Most file managers can do this; otherwise copy it from /data/app.
-Turn off automatic updating for the app.
Sideloading on your Note would be simple, but there's no telling how it would work until you do it.
Titanium can do this too

Thank you for posting. Are the weather widget and such also included? It would be great being able to use them on an alternate launcher

Don't tell me this doesn't have the reader app either,wtf.
I see EReader, does that not work? Because I don't have my Sensation yet, I can't test.
Ereader doesn't install! Sucks! Can't beleive they would have the widget(shelf) but no ereader app
I am pretty new to HTC, I just moved over from the Vibrant. Do these app require the phone to be rooted before it can be installed or just installing the apk will work. I know with the Vibrant, you have to copy the files to the system directory. But in order to get there, I needed to root my phone. Is this the same thing?

Unless they've been altered they will require root. They may also have dependencies that don't exist on our altered systems. I took all the apps out of the posted stock roms on the dev board over the weekend. The only one that would install was sound recorder but that was installed via htc sync and it wouldn't work.
So far the only app I know will work is the car panel but I'm not sure where that even came from since I heard it was left out of the euro s4g too.
Hey everyone,
I recently flashed stock build 4.0.4 IMM76D via fastboot.. I had been having troubles with my NFC after messing around with Google wallet (cwm zip install method) on 4.0.3...
Now I noticed that the Google tags app doesn't show up in my apps list (although it is in system/app...when I click on it in astro, it asked me to install, I say yes, it fails...).
Is this normal? I'm trying to get back to a perfectly working, stable, up to date system before I mess things up further
Is anyone running 4.0.4 able to run the tags app?

I think they depreciated it so it doesn't work anymore

I think I used to have the Tags app, and I remember having my contact on the tag to share. However, I had a bit of a problem recently, had to take my phone to the shop to have it repaired and I got it back with 2.3.6. It auto-updated to 4.0.4, but ever since then the Tags app has been missing, so they I think they made some sort of change to the OTA update between the first rollout and last Thursday (when my phone re-updated itself).
And anyway, if it was deprecated, why keep it in the ROM?
Almost certain tags was never a app in the app drawer.
Let's try change the permission of tag.apk to the same as what other .apk apps'
So I've seen from my friends stock kindle that hulu plus is available from the Amazon app store for the fire. But when you have a custom rom it's not available from the app store but is from the market and that app unfortunately doesn't allow you to do anything but log in and browse. I've used both the portrait and landscape modded apks available on xda ,but they haven't been updated in months and the landscape one is especially jangy (missing thumbnails,etc). Hulu updated their app a few days ago and it looks gorgeous on my kindle..it just doesn't work. My rom like most others masquerades as a galaxy nexus and apparently they don't support that model so my question is..will changing my build prop back to a fire work? I'm guessing probably no but I thought I'd ask.

Yep..and it "works" its just that it hasn't been updated since Feb..the landscape mod is missing thumbnails and the portrait one is just that..portrait. The one from the market is light years ahead of both of those apks and I just wish I knew how to mod this new apk so it used the same checks as his modded apks.

I can honestly say that neither of the cracked Hulu+ apps work for me on my KF anything we can do to help with a new version?
Actually, try installing Adfree and choosing "Revert", it fixed it on my kf
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
the Adfree app above didn't work for me. I searched the xda forums and found the instructions below. I followed the instructions and it worked (I can search and watch tv episodes). I have a KF with running ICS Energy ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528024).

I just copied this from huntken in the Thunderbolt section over at RootzWiki.
It worked for me, hopefully it works for you guys/gals.
Directions:
1. Delete Hulu Plus if you have it installed already.
2. Delete any backups you may have of it in Titanium Backup.
3. Get Titanium Backup if you don't already have it.
4. Download this file here and unzip it, there will be 3 files in it.
5. Place all 3 files in the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder
6. Launch Titanium Backup and restore the backup.
7. Enjoy?

I don't remember, but it's probably an older release since the original XDA thread was from Jan 2012.
I'm brand new to the SIII, switched from a Rezound yesterday. I'm rooted, unlocked and running CleanRom. I know others have gotten Google Now to work but I'm at a loss for device specific install instruction! This is what I did and had no luck, kept getting force closes and black screens: downloaded the m7_velvet.apk to extsd....rename as 'GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.....replace in /system/ app....change the permissions to read,write,execute/read,execute/read,execute....rebooted. Any help would be awesome!!

Download the flashable zip of your choice for the ARMv7. I recommend the online only version. Then flash it in cwm.

Dont know what post I was reading that was telling me to just install the apk, but what I was trying to install earlier was now obviously just the update apk. Works fine now, thanks!!
I just installed it today. I think it's a little silly that the back button doesn't work to exit the app. Others having issues with that?

Yes that's a common problem, but you have to remember is from jb ported back to ics. It's really good for a port!

Very true, not going to complain too much and all I had to do was drop a few files. I renamed all the other folders/files it was supposed to overwrite so all is good, didn't need to take a nandroid or anything. Pretty nifty feature to have and takes stock rooted one step closer to JB.

Hello,
I tried rooting my HTC One S but that didn't go as expected. I used this but it failed and now a lot of apps are force closing on me. I have no idea what happened. Anyways how do I restore the stock ROM? I am really new to this device so I have no idea where to start.
I am in Belgium (Europe) so I'd like to keep that firmware. I had created a backup using the backup thing from adb? (idk it asked me for a backup and I could add a password if I wanted).
I really hope I can fix this :/
Thanks in advance..
EDIT: I noticed the device is going really slow (animations and such). Buh
I used an RUU to fix everything. Much easier than using Odin on my old Galaxies. Sweet!

The link you posted is blank. What ROM did you install?
I had the issue with the PAC-man ROM using 4.3.
I didn't flash any ROM, that's why I find it so weird.
I used some one click root method because I knew these worked on my Nexus 7 and Asus TF700 as well. I guess I was wrong.
