[Q] Search widget. - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so when you install Cyanogenmod without the gapps.zip, there's a generic search widget. However, when I flash the gapps.zip, the old search widget goes away. I tried a search (Not with the widget, obviously.) and came up empty. Any way to get that search bar back?

question about Twitter widget

I am confused. I am trying to theme the stock twitter widget (com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk). I am only changing one image, the large logo. Every time I try to push it back to the device it is gone. Its not on the home screen anymore and its not available to choose from under htc widgets or android widgets. It is however on the device I looked through linda file manager and I see it there. I have restored with nandroid and tried again a few times with no luck. I have even tried to push the original com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk and it does the same thing. I am not sure why its doing this. I have used this same procedure to mod the clock widget and it worked flawlessly. I am pushing it to /system/app/ which is the same place that I pulled it from. if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

[Q] Three Different Problems. Need Help.

Im running the latest stable version of CM with Amon Ra recovery. It runs great except for these three problems.
1. I use the Zeam Home Launcher and every time I reboot the system resets it back to the default launcher. I press home and choose Zeam launcher, but none of my widgets load.
2. Is there a way to keep Wifi on even when the screen is turned off. I know this was a setting on MIUI, however I cant find a setting for CM7. I would like it to stay on all the time.
3. I have the latest version of the Market. When I search for an app it displays the total number of matches found in the top right corner. However, when I scroll down the list it ends after about 20-30 apps even though there its showing hundreds of matches. I then do the same search online, see all the available apps, and know for certain that they are compatible and can install them from online.
I have done a factory reset twice and reinstalled everything, including ROM and Recovery.
Thanks for reading and any help you might be able to provide.

1. When you choose the zeam launcher, make sure you check the box that says 'set as default' set your widgets. They should stick now.
2. Settings > Wireless settings > Wifi Settings > Press Menu > Advanced > Wifi sleep policy: set to never
3. If you keep manually scrolling the rest of the results should show up.
One Down....
1. Zeam launcher has been set to default launcher every time. Tried again with no success.
2. FIXED. Thanks. Why in the world would they make you press "Menu" inside of a menu window ? Seems weird to me.
3. Scrolling changes nothing. How would you NOT scroll manually anyways ? Not trying to be rude, just sayin.
One down, two to go !

1. IDK then, that's how it should work...try force stopping it then clearing the data
2. Huzzah
3. Well some people would just see the bottom, and not continue scrolling [seen it happen] try clearing the market cache and data.
Try uninstalling adw launcher

Have you tried installing a new market? [vending]
Download the latest CM7 gapps, extract the vending.apk [market], place it on your sd card, then install it.
I had the same problem with the Market, and I know others did too. Mine was only on occasion, but still obnoxious. So far the newest Market leaked from ICS (version 3.2.0) has fixed the problem for me. I couldn't install it over, I had to replace the apk in /system/app, set permissions (rw-r--r--) and reboot. Remove or rename any com.android.vending.apk you may have in /data/app, just in case. Backup your old Market in Titanium Backup or rename it so you can revert back if needed.

As for the launcher issue, I had similar problems when I was running CM7 way back on nightly 21 or something. Try updating to a newer version or downgrading to a previous version. Or you can try reflashing the rom over itself. You'll need to reinstall the new Market if you flash anything.

Launcher Issue
Notice: The stock launcher for CM is ADW Launcher. I'm not a big fan of it either so I've also replaced mine. Normally just installing a launcher from the market and selecting it as your default launcher (via the pop up window that displays when you have multiple launchers installed) is all it takes to make it a default. I normally wouldn't advocate changing your system apps. However, in your case it seems like the system just doesn't want to cooperate with you.
Here is how to do it.
1. Make sure ALL launchers are uninstalled. (except for ADW of course)
2. Download a root file explorer like ES File Explorer
3. Download Zeam Home Launcher's apk file to your SD card
4. Open ES File Explorer (or whatever root file manager you downloaded) and make sure your root folder is mounted (so that you can modify its contents instead of it being read only)
5. Copy Zeam Launcher apk from SD card to /System/App/
6. Delete the apk for ADW Launcher (the stock launcher) from /System/App/ (or you can just move it to your SD card in case you decide later that you want to use it again)
7. Reboot phone
8. Enjoy Zeam as your new PERMANENT stock launcher.

Gmail icon after root, and gapps install

I just completed manually rooting my KF after having errors using the latest KFU.
I was able to droid market up and running, so my googleservicesframework apk must be good to go, but I dont have a gmail icon.
I can go into the droid market and "update" gmail, and then open it, works great... but when I hit the home button, there's no gmail icon from the apps list or on the carousel.
Curious thing is that if I install any other Google app, they install correctly, and an icon is placed in the apps list.
I have tried uninstalling gmail and using different googleserviceframework apk's. I have installed the gapps with the latest KFU and manually, neither one gives me the gmail icon to launch it.
So far the only way I can use the gmail app is to go through the droid market, search for it, then click open.
Have you gone into Settings -> Applications -> All Applications -> AppManager and click Clear Data? Also do the same for Launcher.
Nope, but I just gave it a shot and still no icon. I have ICS loaded, the icon shows up in ICS, though, before clearing the data.

[Q] how to make custom apps to appear by default on the dock panel in my custom ROM

Hi there,
At the very bottom of my device ( ICS + TouchWiz Launcher), there are the default icons for "phone", "contacts", "web", and "applications".I want to replace them with my own apps in my custom ROM so that the custom apps appear by default on the dock.
Now,the problem is for instance, i removed stock "phone" and "Contacts" apps from /system/app and copied new phone and contacts app in there. Then i created the build, flashed the ROM and rebooted. After reboot, the places for phone icon and contacts icon were empty. Its like:
Before replacing the apps dock was - phone - contacts - web - App
After replacing the apps dock is - empty - empty - web - App
Is there any specific file i need to edit to do the trick ?
Any help/suggestion would be immensely appreciated!
Thanks

Weird menu screen - what to look for ? - SOLVED

Since some time I have empty field in my menu. Top left, see picture.
When I tap on it - nothing happens but place is still occupied.
What holds it ?
(Note: apps are in alphabetical order.)
I guess one of updates failed and it is relic.
Once a time SuperSU was called .SuperSU - dotted filename. It was displayed before 'a'.
How to get rid of it ?
FYI:
In the meantime I migrated from 4.3 to 4.4.4 but without data wiping.
I'd try wiping the cache for the launcher app first.
It is google search app.. Simply uninstall google search update and update it again from play store..

That was right hint. Thanx, pal.
Added later:
Funny thing.
After reinstall empty space appeared again.
I can even copy it to main screen, then drop do trash.
Well. Maybe it has something to do with fact that I froze lot of applications, from /system/app too.
Added next day:
Well. Google search downloaded it's update and this fixed problem.
