Hello, guys!
I managed to mod an application to have a transparent background and it worked just fine, so I decided to share it with you.
This is the new News and Weather Widget from Google that works on Froyo and above on every ROM and every device. It has some new features such as displaying more information on the weather by clicking on the weather icon within the app (as you can see in the first picture) and a cool cerulean highlight effect when pressing on the widget.
Since 1.3.11 from Jelly Bean, it was updated to improve freshness and power consumption.
*UPDATE*
Updated GenieWidget to 1.3.11 from Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Now you can choose between 2 glow colors when pressing on the widget on the home screen: ORIGINAL BLUE or MIUI ORANGE!
Thanks to c3k for providing the Jelly Bean apk and to YOU FOR DOWNLOADING IT MORE THAN 10000 TIMES! I started sharing it just for fun, how could I've ever expected it? Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
*INSTRUCTIONS*
Uninstall any previous version, if any (if it's a system apk, remove it using Root Explorer or any equivalent apk);
Download the version you desire (BLUE glow or MIUI glow);
Push it to /system/app with adb, or just copy it to your sdcard and install it as a regular apk;
Enjoy!
*TROUBLESHOOTING*
Having troubles or force closes? Please, remember that this is just a mod, I'm not the author of the original apk, so make sure your problems are coming from my mods *only* before asking! If you can't see anything wrong with an original GenieWidget version, please uninstall GenieWidget, reboot to recovery, clear caches, reboot and try installing it again.
*CHANGELOG*
11-15-2011: Initial mod from ICS 4.0.0;
02-07-2012: Updated mod to 1.3.04, from ICS 4.0.3 which now includes ICS themed tabs and minor graphical changes overall. It also supports HD resolutions (e.g. Galaxy Nexus);
07-23-2012: Updated to 1.3.11 from JB 4.1; added MIUI variant; removed ICS versions.
06-15-2016: Discontinuing project since Google stopped supporting GenieWidget.
Thanks Works Great!!

Did you have a previous GenieWidget? Uninstall it and install it again, it should work!
Works great for me! He he, Thanks.

I made this, but result isn't change. Widget works, and app when starts - crash.
UPD: This isn't bug of this app, this is bug of cyanogemod. Because the same error in some another app, that connect to internet (Beautifull Widget - when search theme, etc)
thanks! looks great.
Hi im running onecosmic's port of ics on my i9000.
I couldnt find any options to set my widgets to transparent.
So im wondering if its ok for me to install this apk, assuming this apk was meant for froyo and gingerbread.
Edit:
Ive mistaken this for an ability to make all the widgets in ics to go transparent.
Is there a way to do this??

me too! thanks, though!
. 1 thing tho. This go launcher ex is a bit slower than regular ics launcher, zeam and adw launcher.
It would be awesome if i could edit the ics launcher to have all transparent widgets.

I'm really sorry, but there is no easy way. Happy news is you can get many transparent apps/widgets mods in this thread.
Sorry, I saw this too late!

That would simplify everyone's life, but backgrounds are built-in in the apks and need to be edited and 9patched, or decompiled, edited, recompiled and signed again. That's no job for a launcher, unfortunately.
*sigh*
But thanks for the link and comments

I'm trying to install the transparent version on my Galaxy Nexus with Astro. Looks like the existing has to be uninstalled. How do I uninstall as astro can't do it and when I try to uninstall with App Mgr it wont do it?

If that's a system apk, you can't just uninstall it. You have to remove it manually: use Root Explorer or any equivalent app and make sure /system is set as R/W. You'll find that in /system/app.
It is a system App.
Sounds like I need to root first, install root explorer, find and remove it and then install the transparent APK?

Indeed. I thought you were already rooted, sorry.

Thank you very much!
I've rooted, but not installed any custom roms yet, cause i want to be a little bit more sure of what i'm doing before i do that, but i have a question:
Is it safe to remove all these apps from my phone, without it malfunctioning?
This apps is not suitable for other firmwares, is it?
Mod should pin this thread up.

Hey guys!
I just flashed CyanogenMod 7 on my Ace, but I'm missing some stock Samsung apps, like recorder and notes. Can someone point me where I can get them, or how can I extract them from an Odin-compatible files? (I have them here, just in case)
Thanks!
First of all u should have posted this in the general section [ I think ]..a moderator will move this thread to general section soon....
Coming to ur question ..its not possible to install Samsung apps (the app store) or any other app downloaded from it..I think its bcoz of the framework ...cm7 has a diff framework ...u can find some replacements for stock Samsung apps in the Android market aka Google Play store...cheers

I don't want Samsung Apps app, I just want Notes and AllShare, maybe Energy Economy
I managed to open the Odin files, I'm just installing the apps I wanted to see if they will work.
Btw, sorry for posting in wrong section!

Yeah, just copying and installing the apks don't work. It doesn't even install. Gives me an nice "App not installed" message.
Anyway, all that I most miss is the Notes app. I've searched for some others in the Store, but none were as minimalistic as the stock app was. Can someone point me to some app that will be as closest as possible to the stock app?
And, one more thing, no way that I'll go back to the stock rom, CM7 is WAY better!
Did you try do put into /system/app? Also, I think you need the tw framework.

Installed using Android Commander as System App, but didn't worked. And, sorry for the noob question, but, wth is tw framework?
It's the touchwiz's framework, needed by some stock apps.
Oh yeah, now I get it - tw and touchwizz.
How do I "install" the tw framework?
You need to push it from /system/framework and put on your CM7 and set the permissions.
It will not mess with CM framework? And what permissions do I need to set?

Hi there So I want to try and port a few apps from the stock OG 4.1 rom to my Nexus 4. I understand these apps need to be deodexed to run but I can't find a way to batch deodex them. Is there a way or maybe some charitable soul could do it for me ?
Thanks
Use Android Kitchen. Takes a bit to setup but follow the guides and it will walk you through it.

The new launcher from Google has been made available and here are the links to download. Three links for three files. The files are PrebuiltGMSCore, Velvet and GoogleHome. Download them and install them in this order. Cheers!

I installed this on a AOSP JB Rom and it's working fine. I don't know whether it'll work on lower ROMs than 4.1, input appreciated.
Doesn't work on gingerbread. Still a nice share. Can you upload some screenshots? How much ram the launcher consumes? Does it run smooth?

It is moderately smooth, not as smooth as Nova Launcher though. Not much in the way of customisation for now. Good thing is you have some kind of Google Now. The voice search does not work for some reason but a fix should be underway soon. Btw, ROM I am running is AOSP JB RC2 by Maclaw. The smoothest JB ROM in my opinion.
I can't tell the RAM usage as it does not show up in Running processes though Google Search will run. Btw, you have to enable Google Now from settings. You access when you swipe to the left. It functions like the Blinkfeed on HTC One
On CM10.1.6 I installed all three apps and I have notice: 'PLACEHOLDER TEXT: Google Search not found.' but after reboot launcher works
Working for me too
I've got only one problem...after installing all the 3 apk, the stock sms apk does not work anymore...it doesn't open at all...did it happened to you too?
Edit.: solved by installing Hangout..maybe this will be useful if someone else will have the same problem
