[REQ] App & Shortcut Widget from HTC Butterfly - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I would really enjoy being able to use this widget. I had extracted the apk file, (along with the 3x2 weather clock), and eventually got them installed in the system/app/ folder, but the widgets aren't present.
Perhaps someone would have a way to convert these to work on the M8? I'm mainly just looking to get the App & Shortcut widget, but the weather clock would be a nice bonus.
Thank you!
[EDIT]
I went over to the HTC One threads and found some apks and tried them. I got the app to appear in my app drawer but when I go to add it to my screen, but it just crashes. I have it installed as a system app and set the correct permissions. I'm guessing the apks just need some modification for Sense 6 since they were set for Sense 5. Any help with this would be amazing.

UPDATE:
I have extracted an apk that ALMOST works. I can add the widget to a screen, but it force closes when I try to assign an app to it.
I have included the apk, so any help would be great.
I pulled the apk from the Verizon M7 NuSenseSIX rom, so props and thanks to those developers.

Removing System Widgets from Android Phone

Hello everyone,
Just wondering if anybody here knows how to remove system widgets from an android phone. You know the widgets that come with android OS.
I hope it is possible. Thank you.
\system\app
Remove what you do not need.
most of the system widgets are built into applications that comes with. For instance, having the Home Launcher also gives you search bar. Settings.apk includes the Power Control widget and so on.
In all, it will be a daunting task to remove all system widgets and probably not worth it.

If you remove the widget apks from the system/app folder you are left with phantom widgets in the place widget list. Has anybody found how to remove these?

BUMP
I believe we are looking for the same thing.
In other words, where does HTC hide "music.apk" on the EVO? I can't find it but I know it's there somewhere. I know this because I'm running LauncherPro and can add the Music widget to my home screen. But I have no idea where it's coming from!
In any event, I want to apply the transparent morph to the stock widget, but can't do it until I can locate the .apk
In froyo the htc widget is in /system/app

System/app/music.apk is where you find the android one.

Clear News & Weather Widget

Hi,
I used to use the clear weather & app widget on my Hero and i installed the apk on my Epic but it still shows up with the regular opaque grey background.
Is there a new apk out there or is there something else i need to do?
Thanks
The one on this thread works on the Epic fine. http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677269
You will have to copy it to the /system/app through adb or root explorer.
Buetiful widgets gave me that ability. Atleast for the weather widget.

[Q] How to access Androids Standard 2.1 Gallery?

Hi guys!
Now that we have 2.1 and Androids nice gallery, is there any way to get a simple shortcut to the android standard gallery in the app drawer instead of Mediascape?
I know its there because some Apps that let you choose pictures for whatever reason use it and not Mediascape, but I have not found a way to simply open it from the app drawer...
i have found the APK for gallery but doesn't seem to work, have a play see if you can get it working?

No luck here...
dammn SE, could have at least given us a choice
Lol man just download ADW launcher and create a shortcut fot the Gallery activity
it actually works
people in this forum seem to surrender too easily
Or you could just add the Picture Frame widget to one of your home screens. Clicking the widget takes you to the 3D gallery.
Picture Frame takes you only to the 3D Gallery once and when u select the pic u want to use u cant go to gallery again just by clicking on PF widget. What to do then? I want that gallery and not mediascape
I swear I saw it one of the eary vids of 2.1 :s

Creating a shortcut to the gallery activity works nicely, thanks mate!
Would be nice to have it appear in the app drawer though...
But is it possible to get the shortcut over to the standard SE launcher in 2.1? I kinda liked the new default launcher, well compared to the old one in 1.6 :-D

Most of all because it looks more like ADW
stock music
IS THERE the stock music player in 2.1 or are we still stuck with timescape
I think its this app: http://www.cooliris.com/mobile/nexus-one/
I already tried to install it but it fails to update or start.
They are all there, just hidden that is all.
the APK's are sat in system/app/ in the root directory and the handset.
All you need to do is make a link to it and and you will have them there.
Oh thanks Chewitt, I didn't know there was a built-in media player in 2.1. That one works fine and is very fast! Fu mediascape

yeah its called Music.apk
ctrl folder gives you link o 3d gallery and a folder option
[APP] Gallery and Music Launcher for Xperia X10 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826311
Also with LauncherPro
A. Now, that we have 2.1, I recommend using LauncherPro instead of ADW - it is much more powerful
B. As suggested for ADW - if you want to create a direct link for the original gallery APP and the original music app, just create activities shortcut (you will find the gallery and music apps in the activities list).
Regards,
Tal.

install either launcherpro/ADW dont set them as default home. turn off phone/restart select home and not either of the installs (launcherpro/ADW) you've done. now your in the standard home page select the shortcuts you want to drop on one of your 5 screens and its done. i've got the gallery/picture frame and music player, then uninstall launcherpro/ADW, your shortcuts will stay but the option to find them will be gone from the shortcut maker menu
i think this will work

abandoned app help?

This app appears to be abandoned and no longer works due to changes within google.
If you are the developer of this app "Android Apps", please reply!
Otherwise, could someone modify this app to use accuweather instead of google (the part that isn't working)?
No, I am not happy with Fancy Widgets homescreen weather animation, or Beautiful weather homescreen animation.
So no need to suggest that I use those.
This one appears to be closest to Sense's animations, which is what I want. (Clouds work as a demo only.)
See attached and let me know who can do this?
Or perhaps make the animation add-on work with another weather app?
I know one of you can do this; please help!
