Has anyone successfully gotten the GenieWidget to work on KitKat on any of the Droid line? I've got a Maxx and was using it on 4.2.2 just fine, but the widget has disappeared since going to 4.4. I can still launch it from Apps, but there is no longer a widget for it.
Mine still works, ver 1.3.04

Thanks. Went in to check my version (1.3.11), then checked widgets again, and voilà, it was there. Only guess is that a possible reboot caused it to appear. Thanks for bringing this back to my attention, though, as otherwise I may have never checked again!

Can you guys upload the apk? I'd forgotten all about it. Alarm Clock Plus uses Genie Widget for the time & date voice announce function.

OK so one of the features Verizon went out of their way to promote with the new ICS update was the "launch bar". Obviously I know where that is on the phone ICS interface, down there at the bottom. Where is it on the tablet? That would be awesome to be able to keep certain apps and shortcuts accessible on every homescreen. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it on the tablet though! Anyone able to help?

Try out nova launcher or any other that offers dock options.

Nah I'd rather stay with the stock launcher. Thanks though!

I think what verizon was talking about is the recent apps list where you can quick change to another app you have recently had opened. Do not confuse that with a launch bar that you may see on a windows PC. However, if that is what you would like to have then check out EOS 2.0 rom. It has this feature of putting apps down at the bottom next to the soft keys. And it uses stock launcher. In fact its what I like to call "enhanced stock experience". Great stable rom, awesome features.
I thought that too except they specifically said drag apps and shortcuts to the launch bar for easy access from any home screen, plus the multitasking button isn't new in ICS. Honeycomb had it too.
Honestly I think it was a marketing faux pas on their side because as far as I can see, the launch bar exists phone only.

The new ICS update lacks the buddy widget, and the new way to put android contacts in the home screen really sucks, can someone please give me the Buddy widget apk please.
Sorry to say but installing the 'old' 2.3.6. buddy widget doesn't work in ICS, it's not compatible.
I've been struggling with the same (yes...the new widget sure is UGLY...lol) and have tried alot of buddy widgets (even the one from SGS2)...but to no avail.
Just try mecontact from the market. You will never look for something else

you have 2 options. One is called One More Clock Widget, looks just like it but the clocks are don't flip when u swipe them and don't show missed calls and texts like the motorola one. Option 2 is installing the Razr M launcher and it all works great, but scrolling left to the quick settings screen has a little lag. Its here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900190
The first one worked great. Bought instantly. Thanks!

I downloaded the necessary apks from this thread (parts of a system dump I provided when I used to have the Razr M - returned it for the S3).
I'm on codename 3.6.0 and I don't notice any lag at all. I think it's a great widget and the launcher is better than trebuchet IMO.

thanks, works great. Did you get Quick View widgets to work? I installed it and set permissions, got the missed text counter and all working, but the widgets just say problem loading widgets
I am willing to pay someone to make the digital rings clock from this to be able to work on the stock Touchwiz launcher. If so, I would want it to be fully functional as well.
I should mention that I've already tried the options in the Play Store but they don't have the same functionality, graphics, animations or notification integration Iike the official version.
Here is the link to the launcher and clock widget. Credit for the link goes to incubus26jc.

I installed this launcher and clock widget on Beans 14 and it worked like a charm. But the clock widget only works with the Motorola launcher.
That is my favorite clock widget ever but I hate the Razr launcher. Is this even possible? Let me know!

Will you pay me if I tell you to do a search on Google play store for "one more clock" and then select the chaos rings theme?
Never mind it is late and I just saw that you tried the alternatives in the Google store

Haha yeah dude I tried it. It looks decent but it doesn't have the same functionality or integration of notifications and stuff. Thanks though!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I doubt all the integration will work without the matching launcher. Its possible but its probably the same issue trying to get sense widgets to work on AOSP or Samsung phones. You need the Rosie launcher. I'm not a developer though so I could be wrong. I'm just going by my experience of what I've seen with custom UIs and accompanying widgets.
i dont think so it seems that it has a check built into it to check and make sure it is running on motorola's launcher i installed that pack of 4 apk on my gs3 and then tried putting it in nova launcher and a grey box with rings widget must be used in motorola launcher only.
And there are two alternatives that were close but neither one is quite right.
I'm sure its possible with the right work, taking code from the moto launcher and tweaking it to make it work inside of a touchwiz rom, though I'd think it'd have to built into the rom, and not into just a flashable file that'd work on every rom

If the widget stops working after the update, please readd it. I am aware of an issue where the widget may lose recent conversations, this has been fixed for future updates...
The widget looks really nice, but damn it my Sony Xperia Z has not received 4.3 update yet...
Does it support lockscreen widgets?

Looks great, will definitely be using

If widget goes live on homescreen , so that we can type there only..
F yeah!
Are we maybe one step closer to a quick reply type pop up?
Like it!
But, IMHO, it must be a little bit wider

Thanks for sharing. If you're taking feature requests, a transparency option and making it. available as a lockscreen widget would be amazing.

Device not compatible at&t s4..
Can you post the APK for those that don't use the Play Store?
Installed!
It shows up as #9 on the list when searching "hangouts widget"
Anyways, it's visually appealing and I like how the plus sign takes you directly to current messages or to create a new one directly as well.
I'll see if any new messages appear on the widget since you say it doesn't show old messages
when I install the widget I can't send any messages in Hangouts anymore. It will just try and retry to send forever. Need to uninstall widget and reboot the phone to get it working again.

Maybe... The thing is I can't actually interface with hangouts so I would have to fake the input needed to send the message...

This app is completely independent from hangouts and uses notifications to get the messages, so it shouldn't alter your ability to send messages at all... It is more than likely just coincidence that it is working now and not then.
