can we get that clock widget on the captivate?
Im sure you can. There is a full Fascinate system dump that is available. Thats how a lot of people are being able to get the live wallpapers. Just have to find the exact name of the widget and associated files for it, and then figure out what it takes to get it to work. That is if it is a stock fascinate widget.
That's SamsungWidget_DigitalClock1.apk, i grabbed it from the fascinate system dump but it obviously doesn't install on my Captivate. Must need to be modified and I have no clue as to how. I'd love to learn though.
Edit: With further research into this widget.. i now know what the term deodexed means.. not sure how to do it though.. still researching.

I'm also very interested in converting (deodexing) packages for use on other firmwares or phones so it would be great to hear how you go!
I got the odex file deodexed, resigned the apk after adding the classes.dex file and it doesn't install, i feel i'm close though. I'm not sure widgets are a good candidate for this process but i don't know any better.
I've actually gotten further.. past the errors i've been getting and had the .apk load on the phone successfully, i get errors on the phone now loading the widget in logcat so I probably have to work on it a bit more.
Has anyone else actually been able to do this successfully? I'm using the customizable themes, a-la framework-res.apk hacking as my starting point on this. How much harder can bringing over widgets be? If anyone else has more experience than me on doing this, I could use some tutorials or tips on apk hacking. I can't imagine that something as simple as a widget would be hard to port over.
I think I've actually seem a clock similar to this on the market place when I was looking for a clock widget. I'm not sure the name though I'll see if I can find it again.
I have been looking and looking for a way to do this myself, but I'm at a lose. If someone could whip this up that would be great! I hate the black (grayish) color of the dock. Would love for it to be clear!
I will look into this after I get less hung over. 2 hours of sleep.
Who uses the tw launcher anyhow? I am just pulling your leg, it should be a simple png or 9png.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I can not for the life of me find where it is it's odd that the Vibrant/Captivate have a different TW launcher then what we do, same with the Epic.
I actually like tw. They buddies widget rocks. Would love the clear bottom bar

I was passed out until just a bit ago. Extracted the apk as we speak.
EDIT: ok i replaced every possible image that is associated with the dock bg. It appears that its controlled by an xml and set to black with transparency. I don't feel like digging through all the xmls to figure out right now, maybe someone more experienced can look through it.

Damn it! I was thinking it was a xml but I was hoping it wasn't..
Still waiting........ haha!
I'm no expert but I believe the two files that need to be edited are \res\layout-land\launcher.xml and \res\layout-port\launcher.xml . Change the android:color to @android:color/transparent under the section com.sec.android.app.twlauncher.MenuDrawer .
I'm having trouble recompiling the apk so that my phone recognizes it as a launcher.
Like I said I'm no expert so I'm not 100% on this.

I can't even find the files that you are talking about? Are you talking about the framework-res.apk or the twlauncher.apk?
maybe I'm way off then, I was looking in the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk in /system/app

No, I was wrong.... haha! my bad. I was thinking it would be in the framework folder, but it actually might be in the system/app
Have you tried to copy the .apk to your Sd Card then change it to .zip
-unzip the file
-mess get the new .xml compiled from that
-use the app "Ninjamorph" to put the new .xml file back
Think that would help you?
Edit: Or just upload the new .xml files that you mess around with and I'll see if I can get it pushed in
OH! I also failed to mention that it is 100% a .xml file. I've messed around with some morphs that are out for other galaxy s phones and the background is still that ugly gray/black thing.
I keep getting FC's when i swap them out, I'll post the xml's. -port goes to layout-port and -land goes to layout-land. remove the -land and -port and rename the .xls to .xml.
I can't guarantee this will work so try at your own risk.
So you switched them out with Ninjamorph already? And still get FC's?
I'm wondering if we could get a copy of the TouchWiz launcher from the Epic if we could just copy and past the .xml from there?
Yea I switched them out with ninjamorph and still got problems, also tried swapping them out of a deodex'd apk and got the same issue. I have no idea on the epic, like I said before I'm definitely no expert I just like to tinker.

That's how I started with the Moto Droid. Just started to tinker. lol!
I'll look for an Epic version of the launcher or any other galaxy phone launcher in a system dump or if anyone else can find one a post it.
We really need someone that is good with .xml stuff
Here Is a Clear Dock when you click on it its going to look black but it works
hey guys...
well have a few ques...im runnin cognition 2.2 beta 7...
i cant find the XDA app in the market...cant find many apps in the market....i did look at the build.prop file and the ro.build.fingerprint thing is also set to what is required
what to do? ? ?
also ive been looking for how to mod the lockscreen to swipe to unlock, how to change the time to words etc etc but cant seem to find that! ! !
and any suggestions for cool beautifull widget skins? ? ?
First look for XDA in the market it should be there.
Second if you read the post your home screen thread you will find all the widgets people use there.
And third.... This should be in Q & A
With my phone using Cognition, because it just runs better.
oiii!! sorry for the mistake...i had all the tabs opened so made this thread here by mistake...sorry for that! ! ! i still cant find the xda app though...is there maybe a apk u can provide me with?
Ok all-
Here is and email apk that was quasi working on my phone when i was running cog beta8. now with beta9 it doesnt work.
I dont know much about odex/deodex or, well anything. I have attached the email.apk
This is the LATEST from the Cyan series. SWEET benefits with this:
- allows you to sync all mail 9instead of just one month)
- signitures work in both new mail and replys
- replys work
and there are many others. The onyl thing that wasnt working the best when i ran it was when trying to select multiple messages, it would FC, along with sometime randomly deleting the account (forcing you reenter all the info).
it also had black notifications, making it hard for our black notification bar.
NOW, heres the request. I dont know much about altering apks or anything to make this work. I am willing to pitch in and pay for someone to get this email.apk running and stable. I m sure that others will too as this is one of the few issues that have been lingering about the 2.2 beta since day one. I have attached the following:
- email.apk
- icons from the samsung email.apk so they show up better on our black
notification bar
Can someone PLEASE look into this.
Whoever can get this working with get some cash from me for beer money!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

Check out this post. I was experiencing the same issue with beta. I posted the steps for another user, the steps taken to install a custom email.apk. Take a look and see if this will work for you.

Has anyone gotten Transparent widgets going working on their D3?
I tried to snag an .apk for Transparent Pandora, with no success on being able to install it. Am I doing something wrong or will these files need to be modded specifically for the D3? If yes, anyone working on this currently? I'd love to see Transparent widgets on meh D3!
If i could, I'd work on it myself, but I still don't know S#!7
[edit]
I'm retarded... Please if a moderator could delete this post/thread! Thanks!
Didn't think about erm, simply removing my current version of pandora... derp...
