Transparent Power Control and Genie widget

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?
Thanks in advanced!

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.

Gallery

I do not like the new gallery in ICS. Is it possible to revert to the old style gallery?

I uninstalled mines and use this instead:
QuickPic

One of the first things I do with a new rom is delete Gallery and install Quickpic, which is 264388x better.

What rom u guys using? CM9 and peters roms are hybrid of official and sdk gallery is slow and scrolling is not smooth compared to roms build purely off official release
Lot faster and very smooth

I'm running vhgomez's 1.3 at the moment, but it doesn't really matter. Google gallery has been outdone by Quickpic since the early gb roms.

Just disabled the stock gallery and installed Quickpic. Yeah, its alot better. Thanks for this

If you still have your sdk rom zip, you can extract the apk and try to install will the new rom.

Use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer Free to copy the apk, navigate to System/App, mount as RW, paste the apk, set permissions, then reboot.
If it doesn't work after that, then the app probably needs specific framework structure found in the original rom. Some MIUI apps are like this and won't work with other roms.

The only problem with quickpic is that it will not sync with Google account. The stock ICS gallery is poop! Quickpic is awesome no doubt, but it could be better.

Uninstall both apps from your device and just push them to system/app without installing them. Then reboot your phone.

My explorer gives me an error that it doesn't allow me to move them to system/app, any idea?

Which explorer do you use? You need one with root access.

I have es explorer with root access and still it doesn't allow me to perform that operation.

I can't get this to work..I push both apks to system/app, wipe dalvik cache and reboot my phone..but once it's on I can't find the apps anywhere... If I check the folder with root explorer both apks are indeed in there..they just don't show up
The only way I got it to work was by installing both apps.. which was not a good idea as stated here
P.S.: I'm on Owain's 74 ROM

Maybe you have to fix the permissions of both apps via root explorer.
There has to be: rw-r--r--

hmmm..and how do I do that exactly?

Long press on the app -> permissions
You have to stick read read (-) in the first row
write (-) (-) in the second row
and nothing in the third
Than there has to be rw-r--r-- on the right corner of the app

You only get fc if you install the apps instead of pushing them to to system/app
Use the install guide on my first post and everything should work
But the widget only works with the new LG 3.0 launcher

Can we get the data circle working as just the battery is displayed.

Every thing went OK but I get an error saying can't load widget on 3rd party launchers. If I select launcher or home screen I get the same issue.
EDIT: I should mention that I'm using AOKP. If it matters.

You need stock launcher. The widget does not work with third party launchers. The title is a bit misleading.

I know I'm going to get crap for this but the attic hd was one of my favorite androids of all time.it was the first phone I rooted and unlocked the bootloader without help, and let me tell you it wasn't easy. So when I saw your post I was elated! Followed your directions to a T and still its not working. I statlrted looking threw the files to see if I could figure it out but this is again my first time trying to use a widget made for ics to 4.4.3 HTC one m8 both rooted and bootloader unloacked. Do you think there is any way to get this moved to the m8? I will be more than willing to help, I am no n00b to android dev. But I would be so greatful. Hit me back here or PM me so I can once again enjoy that brilliant widget, because both of the ones that you can get from the play store just didn't get it quite right.
Thank you for taking the time to take a look.
