In darky's rom , when you go to the widget selection screen, the widgets are grouped , eg Beautiful widgets (8) , pure calendar (6) etc etc .. This makes the widget selection popup a lot less cluttered .. Does anybody know how this can be done ?
copy AppWidgetPicker.apk as attached to /system/app using Root Explorer
or
push it using ADB to the same directory as above.
Thanks! Works like a charm.

So I noticed that CM6 Froyo Remix ROM was missing the Genie weather and the customizable Power Control widget. I use only those two widgets on a daily basis and it would be nice if someone could point me in the right direction.
I've already tried Googling and downloading a transparent Genie widget from another site but after installing the widget, my phone had to force close the app maybe because it wasn't compatible?
Anyways, it would be nice if somebody can help me. Thanks in advance!
maybe u can try beautiful widget instead
I've already tried that app and honestly it isn't my cup of tea.
Is it possible to just extract the genie apk from a ROM and install it onto the one I'm currently using?

thats probably because you have to completely uninstall the old one first
go into root explorer or whatever file manage you use and DELETE the newsandweather or geniewidge apk
then reboot, just to be sure
then install it
bet it works then

This ROM I'm currently using didn't come with the Genie weather apk at all. I also confirmed this by using ASTRO to search in the apps folder.

then it may be permissions
paste it in system/app
set it for rw-r--r like the other system apps
then reboot, it will install it on boot up
been awhile since i used it, i forgot about this

I'm sorry but can you tell the procedure step by step with which app I'll be needing to get this accomplished?

Nvm... I just Googled it myself. C;
I used to ADB to remove the GenieWidget.apk and used this command to reinstall the transparent widget:
adb remount
adb push GenieWidget.apk /system/app/GenieWidget.apk
I'm sure majority of the people here already know how to do all this but I'm typing this as a reference in case I flash my phone again.
Hmm tried to install this on CM6-RC1, but now i can't load my new & weather anymore lol.
Luckily i made a backup.
This is just share and all thanks to AChep

All Arc_launchers from SE work(i think almost all...).
The trick is sample.
1.You need a dumped Launcher from:Mini or Arc.
2.You need in /system/framework:frameworks specific for ARC or Mini Pro.
3.You need in /etc/permissions :the 3 permissions.
How to install:
You can use adb to push or ES file explorer (in root mode and reda/write mount device)
1.Copy frameworks files in in /system/framework.
2.Copy permissions files in /etc/permissions
3.Remake permissions using terminal or adb:
./adb shell chmod -R 777 system/framework
./adb shell chmod -R 777 etc/permissions
4.Reboot your device.
5.Install your Arc launcher from Arc or Mini Pro.
6.Install your widgets.
Tested by me and works:
-Toogle buttons widgets.
-Switchers widget
-Photo widgets
-Digital Widget
-Timer Widget
Partial work...
-Analog widget(dose not feet because need to be resized)
-Media switchers widget (does not feet because need to be resized)
-Type and send widget (need to be resized)
Does not work:
-TimeScape and Media Scape widgets.
-Apn Switch widget
-Music widget
If you plan to switch from Mini Pro Home to Arc version or revers you need to:
-remove old Home and widgets(perform clear data of home)
-remove and replace with frameworks and permissions from version that you plan to install ,remake permissions for /system/framework and /etc/permissions.
Packs.

Use 7-zip or APk multi tool

Use Winrar or 7zip to extract app_name_here.apk
Open res\drawable-xdpi
Where x in xdpi is your Device's dpi
Find icon.png or ic_lock_icon.png or whatever png that looks like the app icon
Replace the icon with your desired icon
Zip the app_name_here.apk
Reinstall the app.
OR
~ An easier way do it ~
Open app_name_here.apk using Winrar
Navigate to res\drawable-xdpi
Where x in xdpi is your Device's dpi
Find the app icon and replace with your desired icon
Drag your desired icon to the Winrar window and another window will pop up.

Lalit , This is not Touchwiz 4 it's a modded Touchwiz 3. They have modded the page indicators and placed them in the bottom , the trasparent app drawer and the icon names
on the Dock . ( and just something , suayimi , he that have posted on the facebook page i mean , it's not his touchwiz 4 . He has taken it on the S5830 themes and apps section )
As the title says, i've been looking for the touchwiz launcher from stock gingerbread to use in cm7. Yes i've searched and obtained other touchwiz launcher but not the stock from mini itself. I would appreciate if u could post it here or link it.
P.s: yes i've tried other launchers and i hate them all, despite they have so many features so don't tell me use this or that.
Thnx
Try the one by DQiB.. Go to themes and apps section and there is a thread with a list of launchers... Scroll down the page until you find tw4 launcher and download it... Then put it to system/app folder and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and be sure there are no other launchers in system/app folder then reboot
