I have been looking around for the Google News & Weather widget (aka "Genie") but most versions I found either force close or won't successfully install on my unrooted E4GT.
I ran across this post (link below) -- this version of the widget installs successfully and works fine (doesn't force close ) on the E4GT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10036122&postcount=27
Also, a bonus: The widget is transparent on your homescreen.
This method didn't work for me, what were the exact steps you took for this to work?
I downloaded the file to my laptop, unzipped, then dragged the .apk to my dropbox folder.
I then accessed the .apk via dropbox (on my phone), it downloaded and I was able to install.
Got it working thanks

NOTE: Only Singapore Map is available, for the time being.
I just checked my Samsung Apps, there's a new app called NAVFone.
After installation & running for the first time, it'll download the maps & other data (59Mb). I think it's only available for Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines...
..Well it is not Google Maps but you can use it offline so +1 to that
EDIT: Attached the apk file, hope it'll work for everyone.
Double EDIT: Attached the downloaded data files (Singapore MAP only), just extract & place it on /sdcard/navfone

Didn't show up on my samsung apps (eclair JG4 australia). I'm guessing it's location specific then as you say Wouldn't mind some free (and legit) nav software lol.
Any chance you guys who have it upload the apk file somewhere? Thanks.
not available in Indonesia I think, can't find it.
Still preferred ndrive. UnInstalled
Thanks. I accidentally deleted my icon and could not redownload from Samsung Apps. You did me a favour.
This app doesn't reappear in the samsung app store after uninstallation. Using the attached apk always fc during data downloading.
I'm using Singtel i9000 but couldn't see the app. Good post.
I think you're supposed to use Kies to get it downloaded. Otherwise it can be found at their samsung store (not the app) the website itself, samsungapps.com/
I'll try to upload the downloaded files later when I get home.
UPDATE: just attached the downloaded files.. (on my first post) only Singapore Map though...

did you try to install using the attached .apk? what is the error message?
Hi,
Thanks. I just downloaded from the link given by you. Does it requires Kies to paste the .apk file into my sd folder. I checked the navfone all files still inside my folder except the .apk file. Does it sove my problem to getting back the icon?
Tks
can you provide the maps for malaysia as well?

you can send the .apk via bluetooth or via USB mass storage or kies..
then browse the phone and install using a file manager like EStrongs File Explorer or ASTRO File Manager
This version includes features such as Facebook chat, allows you to tag friends in statuses, and home screen in landscape.
Please read directions as I am not responsible for anything the happens to your A7
Requirements:
Uninstaller for Root(Found in Market)
Root Explorer(Found in Market) or a Alternate File Explore App
Facebook 1.6.3 (Found here: www.apktop.com/facebook-for-android-1-6-3.html )
Open Uninstaller for Root, scroll down to the Facebook App and then click backup App, after click Uninstall
Next open Root Explore and navigate to /sdcard, once in /sdcard navigate to download folder will you will find and copy the file: com.facebook.katana.apk
Once copied you will need to paste apk file in /system/app (may need to toggle MOUNT R/O), after apk has been pasted, click on apk to install and you are all finished
facebook should be installable as a normal application. while the root related instructions are necessary for removal, i would just suggest tapping on the new facebook apk in the file manager to install ( w unknown sources enabled in settings/apps).
your facebook will be updatable via market after install that way, w out need for system app removal in the future.

Thanks,I just did it your way but the only thing i don't understand is how is it updatable if it doesn't appear in "My Apps" in the market?
mmm, manually installed apps might not show up in the old patched market, but i think they do in the new market (havent patched or ported that for a7 yet). i know i see manually added apps on my x10.
if you were to look up the facebook app in market, you may see it listed as updatable still, tho it may not show in your downloaded apps.
if youre not seeing facebook or the other apps youre posting in market at all (search), then youre not using my patched market.

Ok gotcha, I'm using Dexter 1.42 mod that might be why
Guys i have lost the option to select live wallpaper. I had deleted it in error thinking i was deleting the live wallpapers that came with the phone-not the actual program that allows you to use live wallpapers. So i have been reading on the forum where i saw that i should reinstall the live wallpaper apk and the live wallpaper picker apk which i have done but its not still not appearing as an option when i go wallpapers.
Someone said this: "okay fixed it. found a dump of all of the original vibrant app/files and copied over the live wallpapers and livewallpaperpicker apk and odex files into the /system/app folder and it works again!!"
I copied the apks to the system/app folder and it still doesn't work. I don't know what odex files are. Can someone help ?
maybe you need to reboot or at least restart home apk? Hope it helps

Did you Re Downalod the relevant files ?
Your going to need :
AccuWeather Settings - http://ponack.net/designgears/CognitionS2/removed/AccuWeatherDaemonService.apk
Samsung Weather Clock - http://ponack.net/designgears/CognitionS2/removed/SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk
Place the APK's into the /system/app Directory they won't install from SD card by running the .APK with a file explorer.
You might have of disabled them using Titanium backup, so check they are not "frozen"
I already did exactly as you said. I copied the widgets in /system/app buy they don't appear in the 'add widget' list. Also, in Titanium Backup they are greyed out and it says they were installed.

Hello. I'm currently running a cm10 kang ROM but every gaaps package I've flashed has the old ICS calendar widget with the washed out colors. I was wondering if anyone knew of a gaaps package that had the vibrant JB widget or just a .apk I can install.
EDIT Ok, I got it working. I took the .apk from a stock Jellybean ROM and copied into system.
So,
1. download the .apk here. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4b...DZEUmgydHRPUTQ
2. Use root explorer or something that's able to access /system and navigate to system/app and go to CalendarGoogle.apk and move it to your desktop or your SD card. (personally I deleted it since if something went wrong I could just reflash the gaaps package to fix it.)
3. Using root explorer copy the .apk I posted to /system/app and make sure you change permissions. (I personally have them all set to read, write, and execute)
3.5 If you try to click on the app no that it's copied it will not install, just wanted to let you know that this seems normal.
4. Reboot
5. Once your phone has booted back up try adding the widget and it SHOULD be the more vivid colored widget!

It works fine!
However, I got duplicated calendar apps and entries in sync settings. Deleting original Calendar.apk and GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk solved the problem.
