Can anyone supply the apk for Google News and Weather app/widget? I use it on my phone and love it but I can't find it in the Play Store. Could I pull it off my phone and then side load it on my N7?
Thanks :highfive:

Its bizarre it doesn't come the nexus 7 as the layout is perfect. Better than on my gnex.

I like it to. I found a replacement for the weather portion of it. It looks almost identical. News however I do not. I don't use it so since I use other apps. Let me now how it goes.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Here's how i installed it without flashing any gapps pack (however, will need root). Works perfectly and very easy:
- copy the geniewidget.apk (actual name for the news and weather app) from my gnex (from system/app) and saved it to a folder
- uploaded to drop box (because it didn't allow me to BT transfer for some reason)
- downloaded onto N7 (don't try to install it, won't work), moved apk to system/app (using es explorer)
- changed permissions (user=read and write, other two only read)
- reboot and enjoy

I tried this with mixed results.
When it came to moving the genie.apk into system/app on my nexus 7 it wouldn't let me move the file. I tried 2 different file managers with the same results. Was not able to move the file at all. So after a few minutes of faffing around I just tried to install the app where is was (sd card/). It worked and installed fine for me but the widget is now has a transparent background. So only the white text and the weather can be seen. If anything it actually looks better than the normal black background. But it's still interesting why I was not able to move the app.
Anyone with anything similar?
i like google news, but this app for tablet is not very good, so i want to know if anyone can polish it to suit tablet?
Or does google will make a change in the future ?

I would rename your current calender to .bak instead of .apk so you still have it. Then using root explorer move this apk to system/apps the long press it. Click change permissions and I believe they should be set to rw/r/r. Good luck!

It's pretty simple. However this process still did not work on my rooted SGSII. But for future reference of these types of system files here ya go.
- Use Root Explorer to place the file in the System/App folder in the directory
- If the new file is a different name then you can easily just place it in that folder ( of course you have to change Root Explorer to R/O mode instead of R/W mode ) - ( if its the same name then just rename the old file to something you can remember )
- Permissions for most apps would be RW, R, R. Just click on the file and select "Permissions". After you do that you do need to re-boot the device to save the settings.
Note: I did try this with this calendar and it did not work. We actually need a SSGSIII Calendar ported to work on an SGII. I am not smart enough to make that happen. Although I would like to be able to do such things someday. Hope this helps at least for future reference.
I'm pledging $10 towards the Dev who can get the S-Calendar ported yo the T-Mobile SGS-2. Maybe more if it is done by Monday. I know it's not a lot, but it's what I can give.

hey man, thank you very much. very helpful!!
although, I cannot install it on my nexus (i9250).
thank you anyway.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but this seemed like the most relevant place to post.
I recently put CarbonROM on my phone and, after playing around with it for a bit, realize I absolutely hate the google calendar and just want my old calendar back. I downloaded the apk provided in this thread and attempted to install it but it says I already have the app. Sure enough, if I go to Settings > Apps, it shows up as Calendar Storage, but there is no icon anywhere, such as in my app drawer, that allows me to load the program. I even tried using QuickShortcutMaker, but it can't find the calendar anywhere in the list of apps to make a shortcut. Does anybody know what I can do?
Same situation here with carbon Rom.
Anyone know how to get it working?

I am not sure, but it would seem, S Planer doesn't work on any other ROM than the Samsung Official ROM.
I don't know why... I've testing a lot of possibilities (replace the original AOKP's apk by the Samsung's apk, do a wipe Dalvik, wipe cache, modify the permissions...), a lot of apk (recovered here, recovered on an original v4.1.2 samsung's ROM, recovered on the testing v4.2.2 Samsung ROM...), and it never work on my CyanoGen Mod 10.1...
It isn't an incompatibility with an other home than TouchWiz because I've never use this home with my previous Samsung's ROM and S Planer working correctly...
I will continue to looking to do working S Planer with an other ROM, but I have little hope... :crying:
Google Ears (like Shazam / Soundhound) is automatically disabled for Canadian (maybe other non-US?) Nexus 7 users, I guess because we can't buy music from the Play Store. It's in system/app, but it's frozen.
Titanium Backup will not allow me to unfreeze. I moved the existing apk and odex with Root Explorer and put this in it's place, set permissions, rebooted and installed. Works fine, but it doesn't stick around after another reboot. I can restore it with Titanium and it'll work again... until the next boot.
It's so quick in identifying a song vs Shazam. Any ideas?
I'm sure there must be an easier way, but it seems that converting it to a user app with Titanium after restoring does the trick.
It's disabled in UK too. I just set permissions using root explorer (rw, r, r), put the widget on my homescreen and it's stayed there through all reboots. Didn't notice any icon appear in the app draw though.

Strangely enough, it isn't disabled on UK Nexus S's (my friend has one, unrooted stock, I saw it there after he got JB update).
All I had to do was defrost with Titanium Backup.
I can't even get it to install .Works fine on my OneX side loaded the apk to the N7 and it just goes through the motions of installing then says failed

It's a widget, shows up as Sound Search. I'm amused at the propensity for Google to always have two possible names for one service... you never know for sure where something is going to show up in the app drawer / app manager.
Anyone having trouble may want to try the version from the Google Ears/Sound Search (From Jelly Bean) thread over in dev / hacking.
For users in Canada, Google has it disabled
use tibu to defrost it,
type this in terminal emaulator:
su
pm enable com.google.android.ears
then use this link to update it:

don't search, it wont work use the link. This worked for me.

I might be able to help here but the reason it force closes when trying to do a voice commands while app is in the system directory is because there's a lib file inside the apk that needs to be moved to system/lib then it should be all kosher

I've been using it over a month. I gives me weather and traffic info before leaving work and home. It also gives me game alerts for the Reds and previews for upcoming games. When I pull down my notification tray it will show I have a Gnow notification, and say 2 or 3 cards in the text in bottom right of the main notification if multiple. It's just that when the notifications appear there is nothing at the top of my phone. Currently I have a weather GNow card in my tray, but my notifications at top show only a G+ and Foursquare check in.

Installing it by the normal 'click to install' method will not always work for a system dependent app.
You can install the app via ADB while your phone is connected the computer. Using the ADB method, just type adb push name.apk system/app.
(ADB pull will do the reverse if you'd like to transfer a file to your computer).
or you can use a root capable file manager (i.e. Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, Root Browser, etc...) and just copy and paste the .apk file from your SD card to the system/app folder.
Cheers!
