[Q] Installing .odex? (Sense clock)

I downloaded the Sense weather/clock widget, it came in a rar and it contained an .apk file and a .odex file. The apk won't install (I didn't expect it to)
Is there a way to install the HTC clock on a non-sense ROM? There are things I like about sense, but stock froyo is just better for me. I attached the rar with the files in it.
Also, would someone mind explaining briefly what odexing is? I did some reading but there was too much technical jargon for me to understand what it essentially is.
Thanks
P.S. I don't want to download a widget from the market that is similar, there is no fun in that and few have a weather/clock combo

As far as I know, the Sense clock depends on some proprietary code in the framework. There are apps like Fancy Widget and Beautiful widgets that mimic the flipclock, but you'll need a Sense rom to be able to use the other clock styles and see the animations.

Change Folder Icons without 3rd party crapps

Was using Folderorganizer and it has just gotten so bloated and slowwwwwwwww.... Even on JH7 and lagfixes....
Anyone know of way how to just edit the folder icons?

replacing the .png files in your launcher..
I use adw so mine is saved at ADW Launcher.apk>res>drawable-hdpi and in there is the folder icon.. replace it.
if you want multiple folder icons then I just recommend using AppOrganizer for folders (I know it's an app) but to me it's not slow :T it even comes with a set of icons of its own..

[Q] Icons

I just got my phone and im wondering how to change the icons. I changed the ones on my dock using LauncherPro, but is it possible to change ALL the icons at once? Including applications (Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Gtalk, etc.)

There are a few apps (you'll need to have your icons already). Desktop Visualizer is one that I know of.

I have the icons I want to use already and I also tried Desktop Visualizer, when I click to find the icons, it says nothing is found. But I can see all the icons in the gallery.

So, you click on DV from the app launcher then Select Icon > Image File and it does not immediately open your gallery?

Correct, it says icon pack not found. Is it possible to do ALL icons at once, or do you have to do them one by one?

Move stock widgets to ADW laucher directory?

Can we move stock widgets to a directory so they can be seen by ADW laucher? and if so where do we copy them to?

ADWlauncher should see any widgets that it can use.
Some of the stock widgets only work with touchwiz.

basically , so far i've noticed that u will only miss the s planner widgets (calendar , agenda , etc...) when u use another launcher.
also when u send an s memo as a "widget" , its defaulted into touchwiz , despite the fact that u can add a blank s memo widget on yr alternative laucnher.. hope someone finds a solution to this tiny issue..
hope this helps.

Widget size and gallery pics questions

Widget size and gallery pics questions
1 - Is there any way to make the widget bigger to fill the 5 column screen? I can use Spare Parts app to make the program screen fit the note screen, but what about the widgets?
2- I noticed that after installing CWM, I can not see any pics stored on my USB storage section via gallery, not sure is this from the CWM or not, but I did 2 reboots and saw the media scanning is on and completed but can see any pics stored on USB storage and must be moved to sdcard (not the external, I dont have one) to be seen in gallery

Stock widgets can be resized by long-pressing then releasing. You will see a grid and you can drag the bottom right corner to any cell.
I use ssLauncher and it allows you to resize any widgets, although some stock widgets are not there and some do not behave well. It also allows movement / sizing almost to the pixel if you wish (20 pixels is default).
As for the images not showing up, look in the main memory area for a file named .nomedia (preceding period, no extension). It may be hidden, and it may be in a lower directory. This prevents the media scanner from searching that folder and any child folders.

Yes I know this, but they are not stock widgets, they are installed apps widgets.

I used to use Desktop Visualizer before but to change and re-size the apps icons , but it does not re-size the widgets.

I know this file , people added it to prevent pics from shown in gallery, Even I took a video and it did not shown in gallery!!!
I did not added, but when I looked for it Found it in (application-->SMemo) in 4 different folders, I deleted all of them but still can not see my pics in gallery and each time I reboot the phone 2 of these nomedia files come back in application-->SMemo?

Please Guys I still have the gallery problem, any pics added in usb storage does not show up on gallery

I don't know how to resolve your problem but I find quickpic gallery to be much better than stock and you can specify which folders you want to be visible.

1. All stock widgets are not resizable, few of it can resize in stock.
2. Replied at your other thread
