news & weather app (genie widget) - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm after the news & weather app from stock, since i have installed gin2jb i havent been able to use it as it doesnt come preinstalled.
does anyone know where i can find it and if it will even work?

It should work in all versions of Android. Look for GenieWidget.apk.

GenieWidget from Tab

Great widget.
Launch it from the launcher (select "News and Weather" or any other language equivalent) or place it on your desktop (Widgets -> "News and Weather")
Thanks! Any different to the default nexus one genie widget?
Have you noticed any other cool apps/widgets from the Galaxy tab? Thats what you mean by "tab" right?

Did a search on Nexus one genie widget, and it appears to be the same.

Mostly the same apps as on the Galaxy S. The only new apps I could find were a digital photoframe and the Zinio reader. With a little mod I managed to get the first one running on my device. But it's clearly for a 1024*600 resolution, so it's practically unusable. I'm working on the Zinio reader, but then again, we should see a Android version soon from Zinio: http://gb.zinio.com/splash.jsp?code=android
nice widget this genie, thx.
I was looking for this app flap
thanks

htc sence clock+weather widget

Hi does any1 no if htc sence clock and weather widget work on SGS2? if so where can i find it?, if not anyone no of the best looking widget thats identical to it?

Without any doubt, "Beautiful Widgets". There are tons of Sense themes to this set of widgets.

yeh i did notice that but didnt see any in there that look identicaly the same, would there be a apk for the proper htc sence widget that would work on our sgs2?
I personally use the SuperClock with SuperSense theme. Looks very good and "sensy" to me.

Superclock is a version of the beautiful widgets clock. supersense is a theme you can install from within beautiful widgets.
the weather widget of SGs2 is crap it takes ages to update and the shortest one for update is 3hrs damn

Using LauncherPro instead of TouchWiz. A lot more customisation.
carnt seem to find the sence in there, i just have a standard 1 installed in there and a tab for downloaded skins which just trys to loads skins but not doing anything i guess its supposed to me in there?
Yes the sense skin will be under the download tab.
Do a google search for "fancywidget.apk" This is the clock you are looking for. Its been pulled from most places im guessing for HTC copyright infringements but you can still find it if you look hard enough.
The app is called LP classic sense (you also get sense theme for your LP+ widgets) it's EXACTLY the same as fancywidget (wich was taken of the market way long ago)
I would have posted a screenshot but im not aloud yet
Yes but you need to install LauncherPro in order to get it and therefor get charged. You can still get fancywidget and use it with any launcher without having to pay for LauncherPro and the Sense add-on!!
I got lp sence and clock widget from market which the clock is good but i thought it come with sence wallpaper but no sign of it

Not true. Fancy Widget is still on the Market with the HTC weather clock style. The clock and weather skins are both called 'H7C'.
"Not true. Fancy Widget is still on the Market with the HTC weather clock style. The clock and weather skins are both called 'H7C'"
Thats now gone from the market also. I get the impression that LauncherPro now have exclusive rights to this clock and they are not letting anyone else have it!!

[APP] Jellybean 4.2 clock widget (in the playstore)

Hi there!
i remade the clock widget of jellybean 4.2!
i used the official images
and its ready to download from the playstore!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...WluLkplbGx5bmV3LldpZGdldHMuQW5hbG9nQ2xvY2siXQ
hope you like it!
FAQ
why wont the widget open my clock/alarm app?
the reason is because i programmed the widget to open com.android.deskclock
so if your running a rom other then AOSP this might not work for you!
the widget wont show up in my app drawer
if you run android 4.0 or higher it should pop up in the widgets section(if u use stock launcher)
if not please reboot en look again
running android 1.5/2.3
hold your desktop till the menu pops up then selecht widgets and find the clock
if the clock is not listed please reboot
if there are bugs or problems please contact me

the reason is that the widget calls com.android.deskclock to open
i have to find out how to change this so this feature will be available for all phones
i will work on it!

[Q] Carbon 4.4 Issue

I am on the newest nightly build 2-3-14. I have looked all over the settings, how can I get the weather app on the lock screen? Thanks for any help that may be given on this matter.

If I'm not mistaken I don't think it has been included yet , many of the features that are shown on the carbon site arent inluded yet , its still a work in progress
edit: The only way I can think of you having the weather on the lockscreen is to enable widgets in Menu>Security> widgets and then adding your choice of weather widgets

Weather Widget

Hello,
I have downloaded and flashed the newest Malaysk ROM. I want to know if I can change the stock weather app, which you can see in the stock widget, because it is not working properly. Do you have a modified weather app or another one which I can put in the stock widget. I don't want to use an app with an alternative widget.
Sorry for my bad english.

No it is no possible. This 'weather widget' is not widget at all but built-in to JY launcher.
Also the weather uses Yahoo servers and reportedly there is some issue with servers, so we hope it will be resolved in due time.

Description is bit unclear for me, but it looks like you can get something with it....
You may try and post results here.
Ooh, I literally just installed my new head unit and was wondering about this. As long as the servers get sorted soon so that the weather widget actually works then that will be great!
From Russian forum:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=704299&view=findpost&p=46780289
Looks like it is new launcher, with weather/radio/etc. auto-changing widget that can be moved around as normal widget, removed completely if you wish and replaced / complemented with any other weather or other widget...

Seems nice, but it would be great if you can implement this widget into the other launchers (stock, etc.)

If I understood good this Russian forum, it is implemented as standard widget in this launcher. So if you install it, possibly try to install it as normal application not to replace system launcher, then it may have that widget available to any other launcher you choose.

It works, but has 1024 resolution. As said above you can select your own widgets to be placed
where you like them to be. I hope there will be a 800 version soon.
Does it have a way of hidding status bar?
And, obviously I have to go back home after picking audio source correct? How does it handle previous audio source, does it turn it off before the new one is enabled? Looks interesting, and the media buttons only affect the selected source?
And what about Pandora, Spotify and other 3rd party players, can they be added to this? Both have widgets...

I would appreciate if you keep your eyes open for a 800 version. This is really an improvement to the home screen.

Most likely because this is a 1024 while your screen is 800 resolution.

Unfortunately you cant choose the widget in another launcher.
Is it possible to make a new apk which looks like the one attached and has the widget from the russian forum?
Also it would be good if you have on one side the weather widget and on the other side the widget which changes between weather, radio, etc.
Also, I tested it and it wouldnt change radio stations. I could only press the station number and radio would open, but that's what the radio icon is for... LOL
Sticking with Next Launcher, never seen a nicer launcher since Apex Launcher.
