I never heard of it being called by that.
Did you try this patch:

I can try it later.

That doesn't look like Genie Widget.
Genie is the stock News and Weather widget, it's called "GenieWidget.apk" in /system/app. I removed the stock one and tried a transparent. It didn't even show up in my widgets list.
So I added the stock one back, and now it still doesn't show, even when I set all permissions to R/W. So I'll keep messing with it, but if anyone has gotten a successful transparent one lemme know.

Weather Widgets

Can I possibly get the .apk for the weather widgets found in Dude's builds?

Did you try to config the zipcode or your location on the widgets yet?
Weather widget works just for US. No other countries avalible.
edit: You can check supported locations at weather.gov
This is the place where weather widget gets information.
International version
On another thread, modified by koxx.

Clear Widgets...DamageControl 2.05

Tried searching for these but couldn't find any that I could actually use. Anyone have or know where I can grab clear widgets(HTC Clock, Bookmarks, Calendar...etc) that will run on Damage's v2.05?
Clear Clock
I made a clear clock not too long ago... haven't ventured into anything else though....
This is not a flash... just push this .apk into your /system/app folder.
**You might have to add the clock widget again**

Hey do know if it's possible or think you could adjust this widget pack, I actually want the one with the black numbers but not in the 4x3 format but a 2x2. I dont know where to begin to do that.
Did you check the other threads based on Damage's 2.1 ROM? I will do a quick search and see what comes up.

Can you post a screenshot of the clock? I am looking for a clear one that is the weather and clock combo but I would like to see how this could look. Thanks.
Search through the Themes sticky; I'm pretty sure I saw WTPhoto post clear widgets for 2.x ROMs. Otherwise one of these days I'll get around to updating the widgets too.

Where is the Maps Icon .png?

I have been going through the Maps.apk trying to find the icon that appears in the Launcher so that I can re-theme it with Manup's icon. Does anybody know where it is stored? I'll post it here when I get it done so others can use it.
I have tried replacing some of the images, but it doesn't change the icon, even after reboots.

Should be this one:
...\res\drawable-160dpi\ic_launcher_maps.png
Ah Ha! I don't know why, but I thought I changed that one. I found the one in the drawable-240dpi, I guess I must have overlooked the other one some how.

Im fairly sure you're allowed to post themed apps as long as there not private/paid apps (eg, Swype, most games, etc )

I'll keep an eye on this thread.
Working on it now, looking good so far too! Once I sign it I will post a screenshot here! If it works, that is.
Not sure why but When I zipped the files back it's smaller than the original. I Looked in every folder and nothing has changed. I push the signed apk and it will not show up as an app. I tried to install and fails. Here are the images if someone wants to try it out. I'm not an app maker so clueless what's going on!! Facebook app didn't do this so dev must have encoded something? I have also themed the search widget, google voice widget, power widget, and the Browser black and no issues!!!! Help
I wish I know how to do this so I could help... I randomly try it myself and got stuck at application not installed after I zip it back up

Constant "refresh failed" message

I just searched the forum for this but came up empty. I am constantly getting a system message saying "refesh failed". I tried uninstalling some likely apps and disabling auto update on others to no avail. I asssume something is wasting system resources and i would like to correct it. Is anyone else getting this or have an idea of what app or service I should suspect?
Thanks
Same here. No idea what causes it.
In my case it has been caused by the Asus Weather Widget

Same here. Its when, for some reason, the widget isnt able to connect to update. Lose the widget and it goes away.
Same thing here. I can't figure out what makes the widget not be able to update (it happens when I have a great wifi signal), but once it does, it's like the TF decides never to update again -- I'll get the error midday, and by dinner it still has not updated.
So wait, that would mean that its trying to update even when not being used because I'm not even using it and I get the same message. I use Beautiful Weather instead. Are you sure its not something else that's causing it?

Same here. I was getting it when I was using the Asus Widget and still now with the Beautiful Weather Widget.

Place the asus weather widget on your desktop, then open it and from the options put the update frequenzy on manual and delete the widget. After that I havent received any error messages anymore.
I get his message as well. Very annoying, especially when you're reading an ebook. Will remove the weather widget.
tought it was my e-mail account thanks for this

The weather widget was the first thing I took out but I didn't do as you suggest. Will try that now. Thanks

That's great, unless you still want an automatically updating weather widget on the desktop. Any ideas on how to keep the widget and fix the error?

Use
I'm guessing it is built into the rom so will have to be rooted to remove it. I'm not rooted yet but I system panel lite and don't see it active in there. Maybe if you put it back, disable all automatic behaviour, and then remove the widget the process will stop.

Es-Task Manager
I experienced this same issue although the culprate for me was ES-Task Manager.
For me it was MyCloud

I still use the weather widget but I disabled the automatic location detection. I just defined it manually. Update is still automatic. No more issues...
