In the worst case, you need to do a hard reset

i have to go to work now but gonne look into this tonight
thanks
Edit: would you like to test this file it looks indeed a different widget version then the apk i had.
i made it transparant
It's Ok now !
The only think is that with the transparent email widget you can't read the text because of the text colour, that is grey and sometimes black, so it is not visible
Suggestion : It would be better to change the text colour in white as the weather widget, in order to read the text with something clearer, I've tried with 3 different walls :
but perhaps it will be better with the semi-transparent...
The original apk has a white background, that's why we can read perfectly with the grey/black text, but with a transparent one, the text has to be white
any nooby instructoin as i cpyued the apk file using root and it wouldnt load do i just copy the apk thx

-You choose on the 1st post if you want semi or completely transparent.
-You download
-You need root explorer installed on your phone
-You put the downloaded apk on your phone on the internal SD card
- Open root explorer
- Go in system/app/and search "SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk"
- when you found it long press on and "copy"
- go back with the return key and go to sd card
- now choose external sd and click paste (you can see it bottom right)
Like that you have firstly saved the original folders.
Now to install the new ones :
- always with root explorer go to sd card (not external sd)
- choose SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk you have just downloaded
- long press and "move"
- go to system/app
- click mount/rw on top (like that you can replace the apk)
- bottom right click paste
- it ask you if you want replace, say yes
- close root explorer
- press add new widget, choose weather widget and its now transparent
(sorry for my english)
Anyone have the original e-mail widget .apk for sgsII. I think I need that to flash back first to have semi transparent worrking again. I have found when I flashed full transparent then tried semi.. nothing changed.
Can confirm the new test file works fince on my KE2 with KDD-OC Kernel.
Any updates on the Semi Transparent ? Its almost impossible to read the text; but even this is better than the original from Samsung...
As an alternative; the text could been White/yellow using BOLD etc for read/unread, still using the full transparent version
