Hope someone can help me get a transparent news widget on my rooted Captivate. I have no other themes installed, but would love a this mod for the background I use.
I looked everywhere and tried mostly all of the transparent genie widget .apk and .zip files, but they just won't install. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if there are any other ways of doing the deed.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, and my apologizes if this has already been asked.
the one i have works on my phone. try it.
Just tried and its a no go. It will act like it is installing and than says app not installed (via apkinstaller).
I get an unable to parse error

i'm having the same issue as well. tried installing it a few times, even rebooting and nothing...
No problems here, it installed just fine.
I'm on JH3/SRE_1.2.1a.
Thanks for the app!
Did you guys uninstall the old non-transparent genie widget first? That let me install this fine
EDIt: changed "install" to "uninstall".
i did. SWM said i already had it installed, same with the transparent one too
Sorry I meant uninstall the old one first. that made it work for me.
I uninstalled it and transparent still wouldn't load. Now I've lost app. Not good.
i can't even find it when trying to uninstall! and when i re-install, it says its already installed..
Thank you so much! I uninstalled genie first and then installed this one and worked great.
Ok guys this is how you do it. First uninstall the old genie widget if you have it, its in applications named "news and weather" not genie widget. After you uninstall the old one reboot the phone before attempting to install the new one. Install transparent after the reboot.
I used sideload wonder machine to install file from my pc but any method should work as long as you reboot after uninstalling the original.
WOWWWWWWWWW....i felt like the biggest newb after reading that.
NEWS AND WEATHER WIDGET!! lol!!
ok...so i had it all along...and the transparent one too.
le sigh...
thanks
I can't see the stock News and Weather app to remove it on my device.
Any thoughts?

I'm not sure I can help much as I just poked around until it worked.
I found news and weather with titanium backup and tried yo uninstall it there. I'm not site that did it but I saw the name of the app was com.google.genie.genie or something.
I think I then found that in the regular place...homescreen/menu button/applications /manage apps
I didn't necessary catch everything I did so I hope it might still help.
Thanks Dave. I'll fiddle with it a bit more.

Even after I delete it, when I try to load transparent one it still says it will replace it. I have searched all over for any other file I would need to delete, with no luck.
So now what do we do?
I recently flashed a gingerbread theme, and I love the black status bar, except how the notify icons look on it, since they were made for a white bar. So I'm trying to use Ninja Morph to change the icons, which seems like a simple procedure, but it's being very frustrating. I had the TweetDeck icon changed and working correctly, and then a half hour later it started FCing on me. Don't even get me started on the Google Voice app, that seems to work at complete random with no rhyme or reason.
This is frustrating. What's the trick here?
You know I was having the same problem I updated some of my Icons and i followed the instructions and made sure all my images were the same size name right ones and png's and everything then as soon as it rebooted it only gave me FC for every app but two and that was the dialer and the browser and the dialer only worked for incoming calls, the only solution was to sbf. No fun I cant figure out what i did, so no im thinking maybe i have a corrupted file and i need to go in and one by one change them out to figure out what was the cause if any. (oh did i mention this happened three time, what a pain in the a--) Well My advice would be to look at the specifics of what you are doing then maybe start over or try something different, but other than that IDK.

I could test for you. What apps and what icons? Maybe you could post them and I will do it and see what you're doing wrong (if anything). You know market apps have to be signed. Stericson has an app for that too called Signapktic. Works on the phone but in order to use it you have to tell Ninjamorph "NO" after it creates the package then you have an APK of your project in the AndroidThemes/workspace directory. Once signed you can zipalign in terminal and install. Let me know if you need a walkthrough for this method and I will write one up for you.
I'm having problems with ninjamorph too with it just hanging and never finishing. I have some sweet ideas too

I could use a write up of how to do it via terminal if you could do this it would be greatly appreciated. Trying to switch a green for blue android in the Advanced task killer app and am having trouble
If you morph any thing different than a system app you have to re sign the app. Use Signaptic its free on the market. Also when you use signaptic choose the platform iption.

Hello,
I installed AVG from the android market to my rooted NC and when i uninstalled it. . . I wasn't able to get rid of the message ("this phone belonged to:xx protected by antivirus" at the lock screen next to the time.
How do I get rid of it?
I though the uninstall would get rid of this addition, but it hasnt.
HELP!
Try reinstalling AVG, disabling that feature, then uninstalling AVG again.
reinstalled and no option to take it out
How do i get rid of it. Help.
How did you uninstall it?
After you posted, I installed it from market, ran a scan, laughed that it found super user as malware, saw the banner on the the lock page, long pressed the icon to bring it to desktop, long pressed again and dragged it to the trashcan and did not release till I got the uninstall pop up. Looked at lock screen and banner was gone.
I am using Launcherpro. I do not know if other launchers uninstall apps like that, adw does too.
THANKS!
thanks! it helped alot. yeah, the problem was that i was using the market app uninstaller. I am using launcher pro and your instructions got rid of the text.
Thanks!
yup Launcher pro works.
just the treat.
Cheers
Hi,
I newly installed ADWLauncher, got a theme and was customizing it.
Then when I changed a folder name, it crashed (The application ADWLauncher EX (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly).
It crashes as soon as it is launched. Worse, because it is set as default launcher, it restarts when I "Force close" it and crashes again.
There is nothing I can do but to press the Force close button.
Can't do anything from computer because I can't turn on the USB debugging mode...
Any help?

Can you get to recovery or Download mode to reflash?
Today I faced the same situation on my Ideos Mobile which has Froyo 2.2 firmware. I went totally insane due to this and started to search on internet, how to hard reset Ideos... I didn't get the desired results. I actually installed the Ubuntu Theme for ADW Launcher and afterwards my mobile got looping on force close. And I wasn't able to access any application as the launcher wasn't accessible.
Solution: I just clicked on the search button on very right side of my mobile and typed settings on there, and to my surprise I was able to access the settings app... From there I navigated towards Application Settings and then uninstalled that UBUNTU theme that caused forced close loop on my Ideos. Try this and hope it would work for you. Btw I am Symbian Lover... Just wanted to change the taste, so grabbed this Android Phone... Android is awesome

I have the similar situation before, boot loop after applying a theme.
if you cannot get into the download mode using key combination, you have to build a jig or buy one online just in case.

If you are able to get into the download mode, basically you just need to reflash to stock and start from there.
Go to data/app folder (find your adw launcher ex apps) then move to system/app folder see if that one will help.

I faced similar issue (after applying some new theme , ADW launcher crashed and no way to reset to default). I already solved the issue now and later come to this post so thought to help others.
Basically when ADW Launcher crashed, there is nothing bad yet to your phone and those are silly who do factory reset or flash rom. Actually you have everything and you just need to remove the newly installed theme so that original theme again come in to picture. Well, the point is how to do it when you can't acces anything.
The solution mentioned above works when you have search key using which you can go to settings. What if its not there? Note that if you have just applied there and ADW Launcher start crashing then you can again open settings by long press on some configured button (e.g. Home key) and select settings from recently launched apps. Well, in my case I actually restarted phone thinking it might change the situation but it made it worst as I can't access anything. Neither call nor mail, absolutely nothing.
Here is one hope. I saw that status bar still active and when I gave miss call to my mobile, I got it in status bar and then I could access my contacts. So I took benefit of that. I send mail to myself from my laptop with google play link to newly installed theme. When I got notification in status bar for new mail, i click on it to open my mail client, From there I click on google play link and my google play app open with that app with uninstall button. I simply clicked it and voilla !! It uninstalled new theme and I got default theme back. ADW Lancher now working perfactly.
I hope this might help others. Now I have configured some keys on my mobile to work as sortcut to settings so that in case something like this happen I can anytime access settings.

Thank you, this "email a link to the theme" tip helped me to solve the continuously crashing launcher problem.
I love this launcher very much but its giving me a headeg. When I used 2 times it deleted all setup and got back on default and when that hapend it also deleted some progres on app and games.
From then I used Nemus launcher and didnt have this sort of problem anymore.
Dose someone where the problem might be?

I will try, but still hoping to make progres with Go launcher, they have very good themes that I want to use...
EDIT- strange but I cant find zeam launcher on market
Thats your choice,but zeam is faster and stabile. Find apk file on internet,but it should be on the market

Hello!
I've been using GO Launcher EX with custom ROMs (Floyo 0.20, 0.25, 0.30 and FroyoBread now) and it never did anything like that on my X8, it's "laggier" than the others, but it's okay.
Did you get it from the real android market? You said that you like their themes... maybe it's, somehow, related to theme you've downloaded and installed?
See you, and good luck with it!
Personally I love GO Launcher, and have never had any problems with it at all. Barely any lag either, but I will investigate Zeam.
There will be a bunch of files (cache, settings, etc.) created on the SD card from GO. You could uninstall it, clear these out, reboot your phone and then reinstall it.
Might solve your problem? Find it does for other apps (as it forces it to gather new data)
P.S. You could have a look on the dev site for help, or even raise a bug: http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/
@Striderzin yes i have download from real android market but not themes in that period of time when i head this problem. I will try once more and0 see what will hapen.
@SirMikey hmm i didnt notice that launcher makes its own folders on sd card thx i will delete them.
I am using unrooted 2.1 zeam launcher works only 2.2 and above -.-
when i installed Go LauncherEX, I stopped receiving SMS on my Stock 2.1 ROM, i don't know if it was GL EX or if it was coincidence.
But i don't like the Go LauncherEX, just try LauncherPRO, use only one homescreen, disable the homescreen caching, use only one dock page, do not use a lot of widgets, and with this, LauncherPRO will only use about 7MB of RAM, and it will be very smooth too.
