Genie Widget from Nexus One Dump

Here's the News/Weather widget from the Nexus One dump. It should work on any 1.6 or 2.0 and above ROM. Just rename the .zip to .apk and install. Enjoy!

Works great! Thanks.

I didn't personally do anything (I'm not a dev), I found it somewhere else and posted it here.

I would like to know where you got this. It may be possible to do this to other apks from the dump

Sorry, the site I got this from contains some warez so I can't post it here. I apologize, it actually looks like this was posted on 12/1/09 there so it's not from the Nexus dump although it's the same package name.

Works great. Thanks!

Awesome widget, except it refuses to sync the weather to my city (Indianapolis). Anyone else having this problem?

news and weather widget working perfectly on my G1. any way to get the new digital clock widget .apk

ADW w/o app drawer icon

I have been trying to find a version of adw with now app drawer icon. I like the way the screen looks nice and clean with nothing on it. anyways I have found a cpl versions but cant get them to install through package installer, adb, or droid explorer. GRRRR whatever. Can someone edit the new version of adw with no app drawer icon for me pretty please with sugar on top. I tried to edit the .png and all that stuff but no luck. ( I suck). thanks anyonw who is willing to help me out on this

You didn't mention which version you needed. So, I made all three. I edited out the app drawer icon, just like you said. Anywho, if this isn't what you're looking for, let me know.

The file(image) that looks like the icon u wanna get rid off
All u have to do is open the apk, make that image transparent/delete its contents and repack/resign the apk.

Not a problem. I made every portrait and landscape MDPI and HDPI app drawer icon transparent. So, the files are still there. The specific files are "ic_tray_expand.png", "ic_tray_expand_pressed.png", and "ic_tray_expand_selected.png" Enjoy.

what software did u use to edit the png

Hi there. First of all, I'd like to thank you again for providing the apk without the icon.
That said, and hoping I'm not asking too much, I wonder if you could do the same with the latest ADW version, since the previous is FC'ing a lot. I'd do it myself, but I'm no developer, just a noob scared of coding. lol
Thanks again

Help me find a dock like this.

I'm looking for a plain transparent dock like this image attached.
It has the same transparency that widgets have, like battstatt and clocks, etc.
But I don't want the arrows in the dock. Just the plain dock.
Know whatta mean? Please and thanks. :]
EDIT: NVM I MADE MY OWN.
I'm very proud of myself. ^^
Mine's the second image attached.
I also made those icons too.

Good job!
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

Good Job. I very Like it.

Thanks, guys.
If anyone wants it, I'll attach it.

I'm sure we'll see some great things here.

Stuck for quick reference and sharing

I will post mine later, need my home computer to get some of my old items on but I plan on trying to build out a new icon set over the weekend for this.

Man, the Space Shuttle built in picture is awesome.
(Using ADW.Launcher)

thanks to koush

Basically I brought over a similar theme design from my HTC Desire. Still tweaking the dock icon fonts and wall paper. It's a work in progress.

Nexus S is my first android phone. Everyone's got amazing screens. How do i get one of these? All the help and suggestions are highly appreciated.

This is where I started, great for seeing many of the different widgets available to you.

Wallpaper you just need to search around but wallbase.net has been my go to.
Finally, to change dock icons and various other things, I use Launcher Pro, you can get it in the market. My dock icons I made myself.

welcome to the android community
in a nutshell...read, everything you need to know is in this forum. you can do slight modifications with new launchers (adw or launcher pro) but to really make significant changes (complete themes, fonts,etc) you will need to root. (needed to do screen captures as well)

Do I need to be rooted to install launcher pro?
BTW that is one bad ass home screen brother!!

Hello, no you do not have to be rooted to install launcher pro. I like ADW ex it seems more intuitive but launch pro is good too. Hope this helps.

Thanks. The idea for me is to have everything on one screen and with Launcher Pro, you get the extra screen (notice no borders) and the widgets can be resized.
You do not need root to install launcher Pro but keep in mind it is not designed for tablets so some tweaking of the settings is necessary. There is a thread on this already I think in Xoom General forums which covers this.
Also, the background is using the Live Aquarium live wallpaper. I have not noticed any lag with Launcher Pro or this live Wallpaper as others have reported. It may be because I only use one home screen.
