Damagecontrol Clear Weather & Genie Widget - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed the "Clear Weather & Genie Widget" package using DCupdater on Damagecontrol 2.08.1 to try it out. I made the assumption that I would enjoy the clear weather widget (i.e. I was lazy) so I didn't make a nandroid backup. Turns out I'd rather have the regular ol' stock HTC flipclock/weather widget, but the APK I found for it on some forum results in "application not installed." Does anyone know how I can undo the effects of the package I installed without wiping and making a new Damagecontrol install?

Can't you just push the apk you found for it to the phone and then it is listed as one of your widgets? I don't think you would install it.
adb push xxxx(clearweatherwidget).apk /system/app

Problem: Beautiful Widgets cannot be installed!

Hi,
i have a problem. Since last time i used beautiful widgets 1.47, then i had to reflash devphone-debug.img and cyanogenmod.
After that it came on homesite of phone that widgets cannot displayed right...
And i can't really uninstall the app...
Now i want to install the newest beautiful widgets, but now he say that it cannot be installed, neither the old version...
Are there any rests of the old app i have to delete with explorer to are able to install??? (rooted phone)
Thanks for help

Noone an idea?????
Last time i had problems with market working now with beautiful widgets...
Just wipe and start over.
But if i wipe all my apps and data are lost...
They are linked to your google account on the market, just redownload.
Ahh, the apps under market->downloads are linked to my google account?!
Cool.
But i have to download the apps i'm installed from my sd card, like setcpu or something else, or???
Is that right???????

If you do a wipe then you won't lose your programs, because as you said they are on your sdcard ext partition. But a wipe will reset all your apps to their original state (meaning saved info will be deleted).
Regarding your widget issues, should I assume you are using the free version? Not the donated one? If so, I bet that is the issue in installing new oness
If it is still on your phone, it will be in /system/app/ , I forget the name, but it starts with com.
I have the "free" version, recently downloaded addon, but doesn't work. I almost almost positive it is because it's not the donate version

Stock 2.1 Apps working on Vibrant

Hey, not sure if this really belongs here, or in General, but since its semi-hacking the system, I'll post here first.
It seems, so far, that Touchwiz isn't nearly as deeply integrated as Sense is, and that at least some of Samsung's Modified Apps can just be backed-up, deleted, and replaced with the stock apps from Android 2.1 (using apps ripped from CM5.0.8 for Nexus 1 for my attempts.)
So, I thought I'd start a list of stock Android 2.1 apps that people have made work on the vibrant. I know a lot of people are waiting for CM or other custom roms and alternate recovery images, but in the mean time, lets start customizing!
I have confirmed the following to work, but only after the original touchwiz apps are deleted from /system/app, then the stock apps are installed via the standard installer to /data/app and cp over to /system/app then reboot
Music.apk
DeskClock.apk
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
GenieWidget.apk
Mms.apk (NEW! added 7/21/2010)
Another pleasant surprise, is that I now have the default Calendar, music, and news & weather widgets on my vibrant!
Again, adb push didn't work for anything since I can't remount with r/w access yet, but a su adb shell allowed me to busybox cp them to /sytem/app once they were installed.
I've tried the same method with the CM5.0.8 LiveWallpapers with no success, so maybe someone else has some suggestions?
My next step is to test out bringing the original phone.apk and contacts.apk/contactsprovider.apk over
7/21/2010
Got the default messaging app from CM 5.0.8 brought over, still having tons of trouble with the default dialer and contacts/contacts provider, samsung has buried their signature for these deep in android somewhere, even outside of /data/system/packages.xml so any attempt to install the CM versions even after removing the Touchwiz apps fail.
7/22/2010
Pushed ADW Launcher to system, works like a charm! However, removing the TouchWiz30Launcher apk/odex and replacing with adw or launcher pro generates constant FC's for me, so sadly, it looks like it has to stay installed for now.
cheers everyone!
where did you get the N1 files? I have been meaning to try this as well.

I just downloaded CM 5.0.8 for the N1, and have been pulling the apk's out of /system/app

I actually installed the News & Weather app yesterday by just putting it on the SD Card and using ASTRO to install.. nothing special for that app.

I was about to say the same thing, I just did an ADB install for this, didn't need to delete anything from data/app or anything.
It's cool to hear that the other stuff works though.

The Gapps for 2.1, same CM Nexus thread.
Here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623496
Sorry for the confusion about 'news and weather' I just meant I was unable to adb push the apk directly to system. It installs fine by default to /data/app but I wanted it in /system/app to survive resets, hence the busybox cp.
So far no luck with contacts/contactsprovider =(
Every version I try give me an install failed error, regardless of removing all traces of the samsung versions, even their references in /data/system/packages.xml
So is the music app from CM5.08 elliot's music mod?

I'm honestly not sure how to tell if it is.
I pulled the Music.apk straight out of the /system/app dir from the CM 5.0.8 update for the Nexus 1.
cheers
can anyone provide News and Weather widget from stock OS. I think its the best news app.
Grab the 'Google Apps' addon for CM 5.0.8 for the nexus one, unzip it, and copy 'GenieWidget.apk' to your phone to install it.
cheers!

Any word on if the stock launcher works? I don't really like ADW or Touchwiz

Hi again.
I haven't tried deleting the touchwiz launcher yet, but I'm using launcherPro Plus (and playing with ADW too, I really like that ADW supports the touchwiz horizontal style 'paging' in the app drawer, and hope launcher pro eventually supports it too) and they both work quite well, and should work fine when pushed into /system/app too.
Will update if I'm brave enough to remove the TW launcher, probably not tonight though, just spent the last 3 hours trying to get the stock dialer & contacts, and it was an epic fail, samsung has buried the touchwiz dialer/contacts signature deep, so no matter what I try, I always get an Install_failed_update_incompatible error when pushing the stock apps to the phone.
This is the same error I first received with the calendar, but a simple settings->applications->manage applications 'uninstall' of the remaining TWCalendar and Provider, and a reboot cleared that error, sadly that's not the case with dialer and contacts.
Maybe a wipe would fix this, but I'll wait another day or so to see how the clockwork custom recovery pans out, plus I need to make sure nandroid works so I can backup before I try that.
It also might be linked to something buried in the TW framework, I don't know, but I'm so not brave enough to mess with frameworks yet.
cheers everyone
Root Explorer allows your mount and unmount system drives btw. I like using it over ADB bc I can do it on the bus or train while commuting.
If I want to install the Stock 2.1 Calendar App, do I need to install the Calendar provider apk as well? I know the answer seems obvious but I just want to check

I'm honestly not sure if the CalendarProvider.apk is necessary, but I replaced the touchwiz provider with it for good measure.
cheers.
Okay, I keep getting App not installed error, Ive removed TW Calendar and TW Calendar provider apk and odex from system, but I still get the error when trying to install Calendar.apk

Where To Find Pre-Installed App's and Widgets?

I just flashed my phone with the damage control ROM. At first all was well, I power cycled my phone and all my widgets and apps were gone, still installed but not on my home screen. I tried to reload all my widgets and I noticed they weren't there. Is their anyway to get the Sprint Hero Widgets that were factory installed?
-Dave
This involves a few steps but it will definitely work:
1. Unzip/Extract the DamageControl ROM you were using onto your PC using some type of unzipping tool.
2. Double-click through folders and find the /system/app folder.
3. All the widget and app .apk's will be in there.
4. Copy/paste any of the ones you want to put back onto your phone from that folder into your c:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder.
5. Open your Command Prompt and navigate to this android-sdk-windows\tools folder from cmd line
6. Then push these files via adb to /system/app
Code:
adb remount
adb push HtcBlahBlahWidget.apk /system/app
or
Code:
adb install HtcBlahBlahWidget.apk
Do either one of those commands for any of the apps and widgets you want to install.
I'm sure there is a flashable .zip out there that will install lots of those apps for you, so feel free to search around and find a simpler method than this. But this one will definitely work and you will only install exactly the stuff you want.

There was a bug at one point in time that stopped the widgets from showing up in the widget list.
Go into Applications find HTC Sense select it and clear data/cache
Try to add the widget again - if it was installed it should show up now.
I really figured that would have been fixed by now - but damage moved on months ago the the evo - maybe he is not updating any more.

Sense clock "without" weather

Hey Guys, here's the HTC sense flip clock but without the weather and the glass background is gone so you won't see a gap. Just flash it in recovery like a rom.
MAKE SURE THAT THE CLOCK IS ON YOUR HOME SCREEN BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS.
The HTC Clock Widget MUST be actively open on your home screen.
You can NOT remove it from your home screen and add it again later.
You can NOT use the different clocks the widget has to offer.
Long story short, make sure the clock is on your home screen before installing.
WARNING: Do not wipe, as this is using your cached prior HtcClockWidget.apk signature verification. Which means you should have the stock widget active on your homescreen before you flash this. This is tricking the clock into thinking the .apk is signed correctly.. It is highly advised you nandroid backup!! If you wipe your cache for any reason you will lose the clock and possibly cause other errors. If you need to wipe for some reason, delete HtcClockWidget.apk in system/app via Root Explorer or ADB.

Beautiful Widgets now FC's after Update

I just got an automatic update from the market for BW. Now when I touch the weather, BW force closes. Anybody else with this or any advice on what to do about it? I've re-booted twice. Running 2.1 rooted.

try this first:
go to settings->applications->manage applications->all, find bw, click the "clear data" button.
Before you updated did you have the app shutdown?
Sounds like a borked install. I would uninstall and re-install it. Also there is the folder it creates - and if you continue to have FC issues I would recommend deleting it too. Its found inside the data folder on your internal SDCard.
Thanks guys
Didn't have to reinstall though. Working well.
