Try creating a flashable zip of it and then flash in recovery.

Copy both files to system/app and give them the same permissions as the other files in that folder.
Do the same with the attached files (LG Home selector).
Reboot the phone and it will ask you what home app to use.
Afterwards, you can delete the apk of your current Home app.

I've actually pushed the files over via ADB, but it doesn't install for some reason.... and I can't just copy it into System/app normally because it fails...which is why I wanted to see if any one can create a flashable zip. :/
OMGGGGG Who knew this can be so hard for ONE app. lol.

I have searched high, and low for this apk and I keep coming up empty handed. I know the widget is available via a custom Rom, but I rather not take that route just yet.
Is this apk out there?
I tried to take the notepad/task widget from Fresh RoM and install it on a couple roms with ES FIle and it wouldn't work so not sure if you even can do it that way.
Interested in finding out a way to get some of these widgets myself.
I was told if I can't get the apk in this forum, I can't be done lol. My fingers are crossed...
Still searching...
Just meant a few fellow Evo owner's that are also interested in the apk. I guess Im not alone

If you see it in a custom rom, then download the rom, rename it to a zip file, and just take the apk for the widget right out of there and install it to your phone.

I found the apk, and I transfered it to my SD card. I found it via Astro, but I get !Application not install message when I hit the install button.
Now Im lost...
Did you get the apk from the system/app or data/app folder? If it's the system/app folder, you're going to need to adb push it to the system/app/ folder using adb rather than package install it.

I'm not familiar with unrevoked, and what permissions it gives you, but, are you experienced with adb at all? Do you have SDK tools installed?
unrevoked3 is a partial root. I would have to go with simpleroot to do what you speak of.
I need to take some time and sit down for a full root. Right now I'm riding around, and time is not my friend.

I uninstalled htcclockwidget and world clock to install nexus 4 clock, but it didn't work. Now I'm trying to reinstall those apps, but it doesn't work. I used root explorer to move the apks in the system/app folder to install.

are you installing the apks? thaat probably wont work, what you would do is take the apks and move it into system/apps using a file explorer that has root access like rootexplorer paste it back into the system/app directory with all the other system apps and set the correct permissons and reboot and you should be okay

That's exactly what i did but its not working.
Edit: rebooting didn't work but turning it off did.
accidentally deleted system UI. on rooted tranformer tf700 4.2.1 I'm missing the status bars and home key etc... I assume I need to re-install the apk. Can someone post or send it to me... I would greatly appreciate it. I have a keyboard so I have limited functions... probably enough to get it installed.
thx!

OK in the attached zip you need to extract it to your sd and then copy the 2 files SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex into the /system/app folder and then set the permissions as 644 or rw-r--r--
Good luck!

You need to make sure you give esfile explorer root permissions. First turn on root explorer in tools on the left and then hit the word root explorer and set everything to RW - it'll work then.

I was able to get the files moved with ROM toolbox and get the permissions set but it will still not install? Any ideas?

You will need t reboot if you haven't already....
Other option is download the full rom from the ASUS website, unzip to the root of your internal sd and let that flash from stock recovery. You'll lose everything but it will get you back up.
I got an update from them and I'm on Clean ROM with an unlocked bootloader. It downloaded automatically and when it shut my phone off to install, my ClockWork MOD said it was unsigned so I didn't install it.
If I install that will it re-lock my bootloader, and bring me back to stock and override my kernal and Clean ROM? I would like to know this before installing this if it's needed. Thanks.
Short answer: yes. Long answer: read the OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575661

Try deleting file download in etc/fota and rename or freeze otacerts.apk and fwupdate.apk.
I'm stock, because. I don't know how to root, and the 4.3 is a massive disappoint to me - the battery drain is extraordinarily high. 3 hours of light use drained 50% juice.
On the VZ forums, people are livid.

I really dont think the OS has anything much to do with battery life. Maybe it changed some location settings which would drain battery.

Use root explorer or ES file explorer navigate to this directory etc/fota and delete any file in this directory if any. Then navigate to /system/app and look for these otacerts.apk and fwupdate.apk. Rename them to otacerts.apk.bak and fwupdate.apk.bak.

Ok I'm officially at a loss. I have download ES File Explorer and I don't see ANY folder in etc called fota, and I do not have ANY app in the System app section called otacerts.apk or fwupdate.apk.

You just disable the software download service so OTA can't download anymore. If the file already downloaded, it should be in the etc/fota location and you don't see any in there right? if you don't see any then you should be fine now.

And you correctly changed the permissions in the /system/app folder?
Yes
Check your permissions. I did it and it worked for me. Remember that the folders have different permissions than the files.
Did u move it to the priv app folder or the app folder?
Confirmed that when ALL permissions are set properly it works great! The app and the folders have different permissions like the other guy said

Just the /System/App folder. Use Root Explorer to do the permission settings. Just match what other random folders/apps permissions look like in the /System/App folder.
Thanks I got it working!!!
**edit**
Got it!
I've created a tutorial here.
I copied to /system/app, changed the permissions of the SBrowser folder, the apk, the lib folder, and each of the files inside the lib folder, but then I get this when I try to install the apk. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: I must have missed the previous post. Got it working now. Thanks!
Anyone have step by step instructions on how to get smart manager working? I followed the s4 thread, but it is not working for me.
I got the FingerPrint AutoComplete working, check out my thread over at XDA Thread Link.
-not very hopeful for this-
any chance, now that people have the stock browser with root, to get it working without root?
I really don't want to root my phone just yet...
