[APP]GenieWidget.apk from the Galaxy Nexus - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Hello Everyone!
As you may or may not know, the Galaxy S3 doesn't have the News & Weather widget in-built like it did on the SGS2 so lets change that shall we?
Read the instructions below and you should have the news & weather widget back up and running on this awesome device!
What You Need:
Rooted Device
Root Explorer (Or ES File Explorer)
Room on your SD Card
Instructions:
-Download the GenieWidget.apk from the attachments below
-Put GenieWidget.apk onto your internal SD Card (Or external, doesn't really matter)
-Open Root Explorer and navigate to where you put GenieWidget
-Highlight it and select copy
-Navigate to /system/app/
-Paste
-Reboot
-It will be there in the widgets!
Screenshot to prove it works:

Anyone notice that the weather detail view crashes when "force GPU rendering" is turned on in developer settings?

@OP: Thanks a lot for this useful app, Iv'e been missing during my review of the SGS3 on my portal.
Is there any chance you can port it over to non-root user? And if not, please specify why that would not be possible (need it for my article).
Thank you very much in advance and for your contribution to the Android society and other users as myself

thanks a lot it's look great

It's not in the OP but did you remember to fix permissions to rw-r-r? At least I thought you had to do this for any app you put into the /system/app folder. I always do and this works fine on my EVO LTE.

I can confirm this works on my Rezound.

here is a transparent version of it:

GenieWidget fully themed for me.
Download from here:
http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=400713

Hum, i've just download and installed the htcmania's version (last post from Armin van buuren) and it's working in a stock and un-rooted galaxy s3.
Thanks

Just installed this on my Skyrocket using the Dragon stripped rom - worked great!

Are there different versions (there was one that came with TeamDRH's ICS for the gtablet, but it seems to be an older version)?
I tried to replace the one that was already there, but it won't let me change the permissions.

Not works on omega 9.0. Put the file in system/app, fixed permission and rebooted, but no widget.....
Edit: found, it was called "news and meteo", i was searching for Geniewidget......:-D

Won't install on Razr. Why does it need root?

Thankyou very much, but I can't get it to work. It won't install, and if I push it to the system/app folder it doesn't come up under widgets. Any way to get it to work?
Ur asking a good question, I extracted it from my original rom with root uninstaller dunno if you can install back by this app??
I suspect you are on Cognition.
If this' the case then you have to go to the Cognition thread and download the removed stuff from the first post and push it to /system/app either with Root Explorer or via adb.
If you take the original Samsung widgets from stock ROMs or even from past versions of Cognition itself they shouldn't work as expected...
A bit weird to me but that's the truth...

[ODEX/DEODEXED][JVx] Daily Briefing Widget - Working on All Gingerbread ROMS

Hi guys!
Daily briefing on latest odexed JVR is corrupted. I want to share working apk for all gingerbread roms.
How to install:
1) If you're on odexed rom, just delete system/app/infoalarm.apk and infoalarm.odex
1) If you re on deodexed rom, just delete sytem/app/infoalarm.apk
2) Download the infoalarm.apk on attachment and copy it to system/app
It's done.
Maybe this can work on cm7 roms. I didn't try it. I think it works.
Note: You need root explorer or adb shell. You can use ES file explorer - free on market.
Please click thanks button.
Thank you!
Working perfectly on stock ODEX JVR.
I'm on a stock odexed JVR firmware and my phone doesn't have daily briefing, no Infoalarm.apk in /system/app/ .
I'll give this a try.

Already it's a widget. Just follow 1st post.
hi
I have a problem: I have upgraded this JW1 firmware via Kies (XEN), rooted with stock+ kernel and via root explorer I have installed infoalarm.apk in /system/app. deleting the ugly MMMsamsung, Bol and fileindex which are quite useless. I have checked the permissions and the owner in the infoalarm.apk but the software refuses to install, also when I restart the phone, anyone has any idea?
Will this work on ICS?
used to work in JVQ
... but since I flashed JVZ it refuses to install

*Clear* Clock TW widget (Request)

I have the stock widget for the clock, but I would LOVE to have it fully transparent. I know these are in themes, but I am on completely stock at the moment.
If someone could please post the apk file I would really appreciate it.

i was bored and drunk tonight so this may or may not work for ya (worked for me on starburst 1.5)
http://www.multiupload.com/UXPU06DBMI
is the stock DIGITAL CLOCK .apk with the background set to clear. i didnt check the rom you linked to but i think this may be what you wanted.
so to clarify.
this is the stock DigitalClock.apk with the background set to transparent instead of the semi transparent grey.
to install
::::
replace DigitalClock.apk in system/app
with this .apk
i would probably rename orig DigitalClock.apk in system/app to something like DigitalClock.apk.old or DigitalClock.apk.bak
this will require root and access to the /system/app folder in write mode.
several programs can achieve this i personally used ES FILE EXPLORER (free market)
hope this helps.
--mike (oh yea by .... ME lol. just edited res/drawable/bg.png no other changes)
EDIT
using es file explorer to accomplish this...
SETTINGS>>>
(1) set HOME DIRECTORY to /
instead of /sdcard/
(2) check both ROOT EXPLORER and MOUNT FILE SYSTEM check boxes
then just copy and paste as normal
after copy .. may require a reboot and re-adding the clock widget to whatever screen you wish.
**REQUIRES ROOT to install**

Awesome dude it looks tight as hell. Thanks everyone! We should start a thread doing all of the TouchWiz Widgets like this. Like the calendar, accuweather, etc.
I saw that other post that had all of the different ones, but we should do it for the stock themers here for them to build off of.

first mod i did when i rooted. glad you got it though. would have posted it too.
I have this in my proton and black dusk themes AND I've themed the weather to clear too. All you have to do is extract the apks and use the method above to put them on your phone....
Can someone upload this clock again, please?
All Links on Multiupload are down.
Thanks

@ prboy1969... I just re-installed it in my phone and is working fine...attached is a screenshot. If someone else that has done it and is getting the same problem, please advice.
The APK was re-uploaded again...just in case it was a bad upload... I will look into it some more!
Skidiver I'm thinking it may just be an issue with my setup . I downloaded the new upload. Still getting the same result. But as I mentioned before. It's not a big deal to me. The FONTs apk still works properly. No issues choosing, or changing fonts. It's really nice having so many choices. So the doubles thing is minor to me.
Nevermind........ TY
