Hey guys,
I recently flashed my Captivate to Auxuras 2.1.. lovin it, except for the fact that the clock app from the stock rom was wayy better (stopwatch, timer, worldclock etc.)
Are there any recommendations or apps that you guys could suggest that has similar functions?
All i really need is an app that I can set time, run in the background, play alarm sounds OR vibrate when in silent.
Thanks !

Here. This is the clockpackage I used on Assonance, pulled from Perception 4.
Hey
I tried installing the clock onto my phone but it keeps saying "Application not installed".
My phone is rooted, do I have to uninstall the Clock app that is currently on this phone first?
Thanks for the upload btw
Use a file manager like astro or root explorer to move the file to your system/app on your internal sd card. That is what I had to do because sometimes system apk's won't install that way. Feel free to thank me haha, jk. Make sure you use Titanium Backup to uninstall the old clock app that is on the phone.
Holy crap thank you.
LOL is it possible to keep that other app funcitoning at the same time?
I don't see why not as long as you don't remove it. It opened for me when it was still attached to my Beautiful widget so it should work just fine. I meant through the thank button haha. I am glad it worked for you, and I really don't need to boost my thank meter. I just need one to get on the board lol.

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?
Sent from my Galaxy S Captivate
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?
Hey guys,
I haven't been able to find very much on this, so if you guys can help, that'd be great.
This morning, I woke up, and my phone said "low on space". I tried everything from a reboot to taking the battery out, etc. Then I went into Menu>Setting>SD and Phone storage, and something caught my eye. The "Available Phone Storage" area was losing memory as I was looking at it! It decreased from 500kb, and settled down somewhere around 28kb. And two days ago i had 30MB!!! How did this happen?

The only thing I can think of being a culprit would be an app that needs to be downloading tons of data. I know the XDA app downloads data when you view new forums... do you use that a lot?

Ok, try this. Do a fresh install of whatever ROM you're using, and don't install any extra apps. See if you start to lose space like you are right now. Then, install the apps one by one, and you'll see which app is taking up your free space.
Have you tried a wiping and restoring your ROM? That may be your only option. Strange issue to have

+1...beat me to it
my wifes was doing this, i noticed the "contact storage" was almost 80mb! She has over 300 friends on FB and its set to refresh that every 2 hours. Try clicking on menu-settings-then accounts &sync... they are set at default to every2 hours. it would freeze her phone and couldn't receive texts or calls until its don't refreshing sometimes too more than an hour. not sure if this is a complete fix or not just tried it earlier today.
Its the HTC Mail app possibly. There are temp files building up. Only way to clear them is to be rooted and delete them with a file manager.

I tried widget locker and liked the way it looked, but you have to manually start the app every time you turn the phone on. I don't really care about all of the slide mods, but I would like to change the clock, font, etc. Is there a setting in Cyanogen that I'm missing? Any other app suggestions?
Has anyone ever tried this method for changing the clock font?
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/e1q7j/i_got_rid_of_that_stupid_lockscreen_clock_font/
Basically requires using Terminal to paste a new font over the existing font. I've never used Terminal and I don't have any experience in Linux. The program that someone mentions there (Type Fresh) has lots of bad comments on Appbrain about causing crashes and bootloops, so I think I'll stay away from that one.
are you looking to modify your system lockscreen or trying to find a replacement app (widgetlocker)?
for your widget locker problem, select start at boot and disable the 5 sec. rule.

If you don't want to use terminal, I'm pretty sure you can use ninjamorph which might be a little easier. As for widgetlocker, I'd say just do what kevina said. I've been using for the past week or so and it's been smooth and quick for me.
You could use tasker to autostart widget locker.

Ninjamorph doesn't work for this, nor did root explorer. I tried type fresh multiple times and it didn't work. After trying everything except using the terminal, I just changed the fonts in the rom's zip and reflashed it.
Thanks for the tips guys.. I reinstalled Widget Locker and I'm playing around with it again. I don't like how it takes over the Home button, but other than that it seems to be working pretty well.
Newest cm6.1 rc2 nightly has gestures and added support for phone and sms sliders on the lock screen. I can quickly access facebook, camera, sms, and phone without first unlocking the phone - I love it!
Which nightly are you on and does it seem pretty stable? I do have that same functionality you are talking about with Widget Locker... but if I can have it through the OS, I'll just use that.
I just got Widget Locker the other day. I love it!

Also make sure widgetlocker is installed on your phone and not the sd.

I have searched everywhere but can't find anything,
I would love to use the stock calendar app on doc's rom or any other rom for that matter. But i'm not able to find anything that works.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
I've read that if you use the aosp mail app, the camera fc's.
But nothing about the calendar app.
I would love to know a bit more, I can't imagine it's that difficult.
There is a thread for stock eclair apps and I remember using them once, they seemed to work I recall.
If anyone knows a way I would love to know, I'm getting pretty frustrated with samsungs aproach to the calendar

Any idea how to install aosp calendar?
It's in the market.
You'll have to uninstall the Samsung one first, then reboot.
Sent from my Captivate.
No. The AOSP calendar is NOT in the Market.
I have the same question: how to get a working AOSP calendar in Froyo???
But in this strange sgs community, everybody seems to love so much the TouchWizz Calendar!
Bllblb. It's ugly, not practical, and you cannot read the events titles directly from the week view.
I succeeded installing the Calendar from a CM6.1 Nexus1 Rom. But not the Calendar sync. So it works, but you cannot choose wich calendar to hide.
So. I'm not responsible for nothing, but you can try what I have done.
Download the rom here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/187-update-cm-611-n1-signedzip/
Extract from system/app/calendar.apk
-> Or instead of 1. et 2. you can just download from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18608283/Calendar.apk
On your sgs, use Root Explorer (or ADB if you know how). Delete (make backup first) TWcalendar.apk in system/app/ in your device.
Push the calendar.apk from the rom into system/app/ in your device.
Install it.
Reboot.
You're done. As I have said, the app works, but it Force Closes whenever you try to get in menu/more/calendars.
If somebody have an idea to get he whole thing working... It'd be great!

I don't think this is true either, where did you get this info from may I ask?
Thanks Judim but I have also tried that, had the same problem.
I'm using "Touch Calendar Free" at the moment, it's not as good as google's but still beats the living sh** out of samsungs...
Ah well if this thread bumps we'll just have to wait for CM7 to arrive or buy a Nexus S.
The first way is a bit cheaper though
Try also Business Calendar Beta from the Market. It could be a replacement waiting for a CM7.
I see you're also coming from the Hero... Small device but great CM roms
Cheers!
Here is an AOSP calendar app that I'm using on my Vibrant. It does have the fc issue when selecting more calendars, but does not have the dark bar at the top blocking week one of the month. It does have a skewed transparency up there, but its a mere annoyance and won't affect anything. Push to system/app. Oh the icon is ginger-green to match my rom, but thats all that I changed with the apk.
Hi guys,
im currently running a stock 2.3.4 rom on my galaxy mini, loving this phone at the moment, its rooted and i have had no issues with it so far... however i appear to be missing a few widgets. there is no music widget in the list and the vlingo widgets are also missing, im not sure if there are any others missing but those are the most noticable (compared to my sons xperia mini pro which IS showing those widgets, and yes the apps are installed!!!). any ideas on this one
many thanks in advance
Jim
u are right so i would suggest u that install similar kinds of widgets(don't forget to keep them in phone memory) from market that u need
or other option try another rom for your mini
keep in mind that widget appears only for apps trhat are in interbal memory...
...no SD allowed.
thanks, the widgets for vlingo appeared after i 'moved to phone' in manage applications, however the default music player still appears widgetless even though is a default install and shows on the phone. ive taken to using winamp instead as a result. many thanks for your replies.
