Hi all, I searched high and low for a good GenieWidget replacement and I couldn't find one that fit the bill after a couple weeks of searching. I loved the look of the Deer Reader 4x1 widget, but it had serious problems with updating, plus I am not a huge fan of the interface, so I decided to customize GenieWidget to my liking.
What we have here is GenieWidget with the following changes:
- Transparent background
- ICS Blue headlines on widget
- Widget headline font switched to Roboto Light, 18pt size
- Widget publisher color switched to white instead of grey
- Removed images from widget since they were always low res and looked like crap anyway
Here is a screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The dark background is actually done via UCCW, as is the blue > symbol on the right. The rest is just my custom GenieWidget laid on top of that UCCW widget.
So far I have only made the font changes to the portrait orientation for the News Widget since thats all I use. If there is interest then I can customize the other layouts as well.
APK is attached to this post.
Hey, I thought your mod was cool, so I installed in on my p500 CM9 ICS 9.2.1: unfortunately there's no way to see the background and the blue > symbol on the right.. do I have to install UCCW too?
Cheers

Yes, that is all done via UCCW. You would have to install UCCW and then make whatever background you want and lay that under my custom genie widget. You also have to use a launcher that supports widget overlap/resizing. Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher are the big ones.

I've made my own minimal icons to mimic the ones by Ultralinx, but in black.
I thought you guys might want them, I think they look a lot better with themes like Revolution that have very dark status bars.
Two PSD files, a font, and a readme file are included to help you make your own icon.
You need to use desktop visualizer to apply these icons, and use astro to choose the file instead of the gallery, because the background of the previews in the gallery is the same color as the icons and you cant tell which is which

SiMi Clock
Ok, I use SiMi Clock too, but how are you getting an extension of the vertical line in SiMi? Which beautiful widgets weather skin is that?
What weather widget is that you're using?
Confused.
Im sorta at a loss here, I have used to Desktop Vis. as well as setting up me icos side to side of the "Launcher Pro" home icon. How do I change that one and get the "Launch opition for the Apps menu".
Im currently running 1.4.1 Blackhole with Launcher Pro.
Do I need to Uninstall Launcher Pro and then apply?
Also how are you getting the extension of the black line on SiMi??
EDIT: The weather is Beautiful Widgets and the skin is called "Tick"
Still can't figure out how to get the extension of the line down and how to pull the weather all to one side, I'm still getting it all the way across with NO black line.
Also whats the Wallpaper your using? Looks really nice together.

I used Launcher pro (needs to be the pay version, free doesn't support resizing).
Add the weather widget.
Add Simi clock.
Position the weather widget where you want it to be
Hold on the Simi clock widget to activate launcher pro's resizing.
Drag the box down as far as you want.
The line should extend down as far as the box is drawn.

Nice work!
Can you post a link to what is used for your notification bar icons? I really like the look of those.
Thanks!
Clock widget is SiMi clock, weather widget is Beautiful widgets.
The notification icons are part of the Ultimate revolution theme for samsung fascinate: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830410

youve got a nice line extension for the simi clock amazing, how did you get that, also how did you manage to completely change the WHOLE home screen? No little dots at the top of the screen showing you what page youre on, no shortcuts on bottom besides the apps, msg, and phne of course, im just confused as to how you got it sooo customized?

Launcher Pro Plus most likely.
It replaces your default launcher and allows you to resize widgets among other things. Find it in the market.
Bump.
Please let us know how you did that screen, I love it.
I think you are using SiMi Clock, Beautiful Widgets and Batt Stat.
What I can't figure out is how you extended the line down, the wallpaper, or the notification bar.
Icons are awesome as well.

Extending the line is done with LauncherPro Plus. It allows you to resize any widget by long pressing and releasing
The notification bar has to be built into the ROM he is using, or is a Morph (search metamorph) that changes files.
that's awesome
thanks!
Can you share the wallpaper please? Thanks!
looks great! good work

{**NOTE BEFORE BUYING**}
A drop of Charlie Sheen's semen, and a 7 gram rock, were infused in this theme.
Seriously though, this theme is intended for rooted devices running a custom rom with the theme chooser app pre-installed. Soon there will be standalone GO Launcher Themes, but currently, this is for Theme Chooser only. Providing you are running a rom with theme chooser installed, all you have to do after installing the theme is go to the theme chooser app and select the theme.
That being said, Tigerblood is the culmination of hundreds of hours of theming of a multitude of apps and launchers. Essentially, it is a compilation of several standalone themes I've done including GO Launcher EX, GO widgets, and a multitude of system apps and elements including the system framework, pulldown, all major notifications and most of the most popular market apps including
GO Launcher EX
Launcher Pro
Dialer
Contacts
Gallery
Music Player
Video Player
FlexT9 Keyboard
ICS Keyboard
Camera
MIUI Camera
Shootme
Calendar
Settings
Root Explorer
FM Radio
Google Plus
Music (Player and Widgets)
MMS
Android Market
Facebook
Google Talk
Google Voice
Google Search
Gmail
Email
GO Tranparent Widgets
Dropbox
Lockscreen Sliders and Icons
XDA Forum App
Twitter
Stock Launcher
Stock Browser
Dolphin Lite
Metamorph
Icons Galore and much, much more, but the few screenshots and overwhelming size of the theme ought to tell you everything you need to know regarding the amount of work that went into the Decked Out line of themes. This is by FAR the most comprehensive Theme Chooser theme on the Market. Enjoy.
12/20/2011:
Added support for GO Message 3D widget
Re-did all in app menu icons
Re-did ADW
Added VM Notification animations

This is what was asked for so....
Anyone can slap together a theme with new borders and slight xml changes. This is far and away the most detailed theme on the market. The only thing even remotely close is Mixer and it's got roughly 40% of what's themed with mine.
You have no idea how awesome this theme looks on your phone unless it is actually on it. Wow! Its amazing. No one has the level of detail and gradient hue and shading in a theme chooser theme as this Lawson has in this one. The in call dialer alone is to die for. If you can't pony up for this then you are deserving of the lack of quality in a theme that is on your phone.
Love it. Thanks big time Lawson. I never thought a theme chooser theme could look like this.

No I won't date your daughter so stop pm'ing me!
Maybe I'm just missing something, but it seems like there's a severe lack of decent looking, customizable grid style calender widgets. With so many other "minimal" style widgets for everything under the sun, why doesn't something like this exist?

No need for month/days of week text, ugly headers or crazy amounts of frills, just a really basic 1px bordered grid with a transparent background.
Any suggestions? Closest things I could sorta find were:
Month Calender Widget: I like how small and basic it is, but there's no transparency options and it doesn't really have a visible lined grid.
Android Pro Widgets: Full featured, but much visually bulkier and text heavy than I would like like. There's a few more customization options in the paid version but from what I could tell they wouldn't really give me what I want. Someone also suggested a skin for this existed that was exactly what I wanted, but I can't find it.
Thanks to anyone who could point me in the right direction!

Thanks for the suggestion, but there's no grid option, is there? I know there's a million minimal calender widgets out there, but i'm specifically searching for a minimal grid-style calender widget.

If you want perfect alignment like my screens, you should have a galaxy nexus and the following settings.
Nova settings:
Desktop-
10×9 grid size
2 screens
all margin to none
hide shadow, icon labels
accordion scroll effect (or any up to you)
off wallpaper scrolling
widget overlap
Dock-
1 dock page
7 dock icons
none width margin and medium dock height
hide indicator and divider
dock as overlay
Look and feel-
nova scroll and animation speed
hide notification bar
Note: Do the same things if you use Apex
UCCW placement:
top to bottom-
Topbar 1×9
12 uccws (2×3 each) in 4 rows (3 uccws per row)
bottombar 1×9
Note: You cannot add 2×3 or 1×9 uccw by default, resize them!
My phone is also running AOKP http://aokp.co/release-jb-mr1-build-1/
and has FROST Theme installed.
Very outstanding uccw widget. Speechless man

Awesome designs man... Have become a fan of yours works... Currently my One X is sporting the side tray version of yours... and its really cool...
Hope to see many more of your works...

I loved it n need it for making one of my own uccw widgets.
Thanks.
