[DISCONTINUED] TRANSPARENT Genie Widget from Android 4.1 JB (BLUE AND MIUI COLORS!)

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!!

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?

Titanium Backup will do that for you..just make sure you always restore with app and data.

I think if you're rooted and installed clockworkmod you can always go into
recovery and make a backup first of the whole OS before you start installing other things. :cyclops:

i think he is only wanting to backup his homescreen layout.

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Im just asking to the postion and layout of shortcuts icons etc on home screen, no appz or rom recovery. thx

Nova Launcher has such a backup function and it works fine for me when i change my rom.
Just save the config, install the Rom which ever you want, install your apps which belongs to the icon desin and widgets, then restore the nova launcher settings.
Thats it!

nova launcher setting will store on sd card?

notifications wont work, lockscreen still the same

If you are nervous about rooting (or, in my case, can't because a custom recovery's not out yet for CDMA), and don't mind clogging up your storage with another ~20MB of stuff, you can just download an ICS imitation launcher from the Play store. Looks almost like the real thing.
For examples, search for "ICS launcher". If you want the lockscreen too, "Go Launcher EX"+"Go Locker"+"Go Locker ICS Locker theme"+"Home Manager"(for swapping ICS in place of Go Launcher) will do it, albeit at the cost of even more storage. Above combo runs pretty smooth on my phone, and the ability of the ICS launcher to customize home screen grid size, I must say, is a sweet feature.

Hey, isn't that DeSense utility only for Rezound...?

I tried it, but it can only remove the stock launcher, when i install ics notifications and settings, the notificatiohn bar, is gone, also you can't remove lockscreen, so its just the launcher that you can replace

Thanks

I apologize if it's not. :silly:

its the widget not the S planner D:

Any luck on finding the S-Planner App? I am on the LiquidSmooth ROM, and the only thing i miss about the stock ROM was the S-Planner. Can someone post the Apk file? Thanks!

This is the calender from LH9.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/62284246/Calendar_4.0.4-I747UCALH9.apk
From my understanding of samsung and their wisdom, the S-apps are very intertwined with the Touchwiz interfaces. Roms like AOKP wont run them. If I am wrong, please correct me.
the Stock Email and Calender apps on my SG3 are the ONLY reasons I have not gone to a custom rom on this one. they are much nicer and more robust than the AOSP versions. If I had teh time to learn more about porting them, I would do so myself.
I also have a galaxy tablet. the stock ICS on it is mediocre at best. I tried going to AOKP, but again, the Calender and Email apps are far superior on the stock roms.

It's being a long time, but just in case you guys still looking for it here they are.
Just copy and paste it to /system/app and change permissions.
YOU NEED ROOT PERMISSIONS

Hallo,
I use the original Samsung ROM, but want the original calendar widget in inverted style. If I install the inverted google calendar I loose the S Planner functions for setting new calendar entries etc. Has anybody the original calendar widget that can run with the S-Planner?
Best regards,
Marc

marchusar: Post 2 isnt what you are looking for?

You can find all you need here
P.S. OP WRONG THREAD MAN! please try next time not to do the same.

nice love it thanks

downloaded all files provided in this thread and s-planer still crashing on my s3 i9300..
Im rooted and on custom rom from PARDUS ( v13beta4) rom is samsung based so everything should work.
got error touchwiz stopped responding ... when putting widget on screen.. sometimes its fine for few seconds.

I had to flash a custom rom on my fathers s3 because he need a higher version for bank app...
Now he miss his ~calendar app (S-Planner) for his phone, any chance to get a ported version ? Running some slim rom 4.4 on his phone.

S-Planner is a Samsung app and will require a stock Samsung kernel and framework to work. As far as I know, it will not work on a custom ROM that is not based on a stock ROM.

[Q] Stock contacts widget

Hey guys, a fellow noob here so please forgive me for the following question but..
I've rooted my phone recently and flashed Aurora to remove the bloatware.. it also removed some widgets along with it, including the contacts widget. Is it possible to restore the widget through Aurora or any other means and what do I have to do if I can do so?
I've got the Nandroid backup ofcourse, but I'd rather not get everything back again, just get this one particular widget only.
Cheers

Yes, hence posting here.
On a sidenote, I'm not on a custom ROM, and I'm up to date if it's of any useful info.

I asked it because i know Aurora from other phones and not on the hox
you can download a "stock" custom rom and copy out the contactwidget.apk out of the rom and copy it to your phone, then with es file explorer activate root function and copy it to the system\app folder of your phone. Restart and/or clear HTCsense cache and see if its back

I'm going to do just that. Back with results within minutes.. cheers :good:

But check the rom version is the same, match the version you are running, so take the apk from a 2.17 Rom if you are on a 2.17 rom. If you are on JB you need to download a 3.14 version
