[Q] news and weather gapp - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i cant seem to find a gapps DL that has googles news and weather app attached... and i actually like that app ( strange to me because most included apps are bloat imo.)
anyone know ware i can download the apk?

you sure thats not the GenieWidget.apk in the gapps. Exactly what does this apk do because when I click on the stock widget clock it takes me to an area with weather

The News & Weather app is Geniewidget.apk
Here's a link to one in my Dropbox. It may not be the newest one (not sure), and the widget has a semi-transparent black background instead of the grey matte, but here it is anyway...

That is an app called wall calendar...just search for wallcal in the market and you will find it. Its is not really a widget so it can be used with any theme.
That widget is not included in/or from the theme. It's not even really a widget... It's a seperate app from the market.

What is the apk name for HTC news and weather? And is it safe to remove?

Not the weather by itself and not news by itself, it is the news and weather system app... I see no point to this at all if I have news and weather already and want to remove it if possible. Can someone advise please? I read somewhere that it is geniewidget but that doesnt seem right as it is not just a widget. Thanks.
I think it is that geniewidget because I remember removing that apk from MikFroYo's zip before I flashed it so it wouldn't install.
It is in fact geniewidget. I have always removed it without any trouble.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

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!!

I just said above you that it is there. I have just checked again... it is there!
Look at my screenshot.

[Q] Stock Accuweather Widget

Hi,
I have seem to have over-written the stock accuweather widget that somes with the i9100. Is there anyway to get it back? I've had a look around for it online and can't seem to find it...
Any help would be appreciated...!
Cheers
Dan
how is it called? is it an apk? if yes i could extract it from mine and send it to you, because the same happened to me with the browser ;-)
Go to app manager and select the accuweather app, there will be an option there to "uninstall update". That will restore the original widget.
(I assume you overwrote it with the samsung apps update, that's what I did)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i think this is what you looking for
Does anybody know if it is possible to use this widget with the ADW Launcher (EX)? It seems to work okay in 2x1 mode, but as soon as I try to resize it (4x1 would be my preference) the widget goes haywire - the background won't fit the new size.
Everything works with the TouchWhiz-Launcher, so I guess the way the widget was coded prevents it from being displayed correctly.

Google News and Weather app (GenieWidget)

If you miss the original News and Weather widget as I did, here it is. I found this for Thunderbolt, but works with Incredible 2 also.

cool finds on the themed ones.. I'm pretty sure u can always grab the .apk from CM7 too it comes with that ROM, I may be wrong, but either way nice finds. I've actually done the trans mod for this apk before it looks great
