CM-RC1 - Transparant GenieWidget

Hi folks,
Got sick and tired of trying -and failing- to install a transparent GenieWidget, so i decided to mod it myself to have a transparant background.
I thought a lot of people are on a quest (like i was) to find the right one, that works on CM.
Im running the latest floyo on Hero.
Both HD & MD are modded.
Anyways, here it is
p.s. i used someone else's screenshot as i don't have time to do so...

This is excellent! I have been looking for an MDPI white trans genie widget forever. Well, almost forever . Thanks much for sharing.

That's what i thought
I'll be uploading a modded version also very soon (other icons)

I am trying to install this on Nonsensikal 13.2...it already has GenieWidget installed....when I go to overwrite it, it doesn't install. Any ideas on what to do?

When trying to replace a system app you must uninstall the old one first, reboot, then install.

That's the problem ...I can't uninstall the original geniewidget. I tried under applications but the uninstall is greyed out.

Try removing it with root explorer or titanium backup.
That's how i did it.

[Solved] News and Weather Widget (Genie) - Please help.

I've recently moved over from Acer's Liquid E phone to the Samsung Captivate. Nice upgrade, however; the stock app News and Weather is not available on the stock Rogers Rom or the Cognition 4.3 Rom that I have now installed.
I have tried several different apk's, but to no avail. They install, but i get FC's as soon as i try to add the widget to my homescreen.
Does anyone have a solution to to this problem, such as a working apk?
Thanks
EDIT: News and Weather widget also known as Genie widget

Thanks for the quick reply. How do I 'grab' it? Do I need to extract it from the rom?

You can't install it, you have to place it in the /system/app folder in the new rom (on your phone, replacing the one that doesn't work)
Use root explorer to place it.
Then restart your phone.

Oh so nice! I used Super Manager from the market to move the file from my sd card to the /system/app folder. Super manager was a little quirky to get root permission, but it worked after force closing.
I didn't even have to reboot!
Thanks for your help everyone.
Now I can keep track of each little article about the playoffs -
Boo yaa!
Best news customizable news app that ive found.

Now, how do I mark the thread as solved?

I moved over from the Acer Liquid E as well. While the Captivate is faster, it runs out of RAM faster since the Acer had the full 512mb available to the user and the Captivate only allows about 340mb.
Otherwise the Captivate is an upgrade in every other aspects!

[THEME]Precision for Gingerbread from Vibrant. Still in heavy test stage

I am trying to make this compatible for other devices as well now. I know for a fact it works on Darkys ROM for Captivate so I think it may work on other gingerbread versions/Roms for the captivate as well. It has also been confirmed to work on i9000 jvp, jvq, and jvr gingerbread versions.
Flash it in Recovery. Always Backup first incase it causes any issues.

If Apps force close restore your back up, go into the theme zip and remove the apps that had problems then reflash the theme.
I do not have a Captivate, I am just going by what my testers have told me. So if you try it let me know how it goes.

Flashed over the top of the latest build of Serendipity VII.
Stuck in a bit of a weird bootloop.
- Booted up with the SVII boot screen.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
- Booted to what seemed to be the TouchWiz screen with a few icons.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
- Booted to the GoLauncher screen I had, custom icons showed up.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
Keeps doing it endlessly so I am going to pop the battery out and try again.
Oh...When the screen does come up briefly I can see the theme's icons' in the status bar.

Restore ur backup. Then Go into the theme zip and delete settings and launcher apk. For some reason captivate doesn't like the sgs2 launcher. Then reflash it with those apk removed.

Love the theme. Any chance you could port it to cog 5 or atomic fusion?

Are they gingerbread based? I dont have a captivate to test anything. But this theme might would work if they are gingerbread based.

Same result...except i get a Sim Card removed error, then multiple reboots.
Won't restore from back up. Error while formatting system. I'l reflash my recent theme.
Back to Charcoal Beta...
I checked the Zip file and I removed the suggested files correctly.

Is there a way to install this theme without installing the fonts.
Awesome theme just font is to small for me to read.
Thanks

you could install font changer donate version and install the font you want to use....not sure if it will work with the theme....but I use it for my Cappy on Mosaic VI and Laucher 7 Pro....I wanted the font from WP7 Segoe Light and was able to accompish that using Font Changer.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchanger&feature=more_from_developer

I removed the font from the .zip file and that worked.
Not sure if that was the best way, but appears to have worked
thanks

3.1.5 Market - Transparent (Updated 9/25)

I released my Dark Market last week and since then, I've been making my apps Transparent.. I have Facebook 1.6.4, Gmail 2.3.5 and Dropox 1.2.4 released so far and I'm working on Gtalk 1.3 (chat menu is difficult) and now I have the newest Market done... I'm making a new thread for it since my Dark Market thread is already full of the color choices, too... The 2 methods for this are update.zip that you simply flash in recovery.. If you're on a phone that requires you to mount/system first, then do it... The other method is just a signed apk that you can install and push to system and rename...
1. Check in system/app and make sure you're Market is named Vending.apk.. If it's com.android.vending.apk then you should rename it Vending.apk and reboot.. then flash the update.zip
2. Check the name like in #1 but delete any signs of Vending.apk from system/app, data/app, and data/data... reboot... then install the signed apk.. it should install to data since it's not replacing another themed market so move it to system/app and rename it and make sure the permissions are r/w/r/r.. reboot... that should make it work fine...
3. If you've ran my Dark Markets, you already know that there are some roms that have an issue buying apps.. I've been running tests and it appears that the certs.files are the cause of this but we're not sure why.. I originally tested my Market on Chevy's SS 5.5 for the D1 and it errored on buying an app.. I restored a Liquid Rom nandroid and flashed my market and everything was perfect... same with my Project Elite nandroid.. I, then, used rujelus22's update.zip that he has for his market and on SS 5.5 it allowed me to buy apps but it fc'd on updating apps... so I understand it sucks when you install a themed apk that doesn't work on your phone and I apolize for this.. but I AM working on figuring out 'why' this is happening and 'how' we can fix it.. many roms are fine tho and you can buy apps and update apps.. I tested it on a Fascinate running JT's Vanilla GB rom, on my D1 running LGB 2.6 and PE 6.5 and I had no issues at all..
MAKE A BACKUP PRIOR TO INSTALLING!!

How to get the ICS Roboto fonts on any device.

Got it to work on my phone. Upon first opening the app it said there wasn't enough room to make a backup and to try again later (App automatically backs up stock fonts) I then reopened and it worked fine. Used my computer to put the fonts package into the folder and rebooted. Make sure fast boot isn't checked in the settings of the app. I found it on accident before I rebooted. I don't think we can use that on the Revo.
