Thanks for posting the file here!

ok, without sounding like a noob... what is this?
thanks
EDIT: nevermind... found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600959

Oddly enough, after I install this its not showing up in the "Widgets" list? Anyone know why? I've installed it like any other .apk file i've installed before.
Update:Figured it out, the app is called "News And Weather". Sweet application!

Genie Widget - Are sources available somewhere?
Is this kind of backport a "binary hack" or are sources available somewhere?
If yes, were can I find them?
Thanks

Same here, I don't see it either after installation.

I found it under News and Weather in my Android Widgets section. The news and weather icon is fine, but the weather only app displays with font too large to display all the information.

long press ur screen
under ur "widgets" category select news and weather

I'm new here and have sort of a dumb question. How do you get this onto your Eris? I mean since you can't install from sd card without root right?
edit: Nevermind. I had a hunch that if I downloaded it onto my phone, Astro would pick it up.

I uninstalled it. Reason being because whenever I would wake the phone up I would have a major lag in Sense. I found out that the Genie Widget would almost try to play catch up with the way it slides through all of the news it has on the widget. I put up with it for a couple of days but then I just got tired of always having to wait for it to catch up with itself. Cool app though

I haven't had any lag or problems with it. Although I disabled most of the news and mainly use it for the weather. htc's weather widget wouldn't update right for me

If you have the Android SDK you can use adb to install it. It's not too user friendly though, you have to know what the directory is and stuff.
It's faster once you get the hang of it.

Here is a clear version if anyone's interested.

Jelly Bean has killed Light Flow

Installed Jelly Bean this afternoon and so far so good.
However, Light Flow keeps crashing, so I can't use it. I've followed all instructions, restarted, removed and reinstalled but still no luck.
Anyone else having the problem, or know of an alternative?
I only need it for Gmail and Handcent SMS.

It's not Jelly Bean - it looks like the latest update to Gmail caused it.

Ah ha, good point. I just assumed it was the update to JB, but you're right, Gmail updated pretty much straight away afterwards aswell.
In that case, hopefully the lightflow guys will be on it pretty quick...

What version are you running and is it fixed for you?

I've just checked back on Play and fix in the next few hours, so I'll give it a look in the morning.
Thanks for the pointer though

You start google now by holding the home softkey on the display and move your finger up to the magnifier.
Tip: Don't even try it out, let it disabled. Your phone will have ~30% less runtime when it's activated.

You can't uninstall SmartAction but you can disable it go going into settings\apps\all apps, find SmartAction and click on the disable button at the top right.

If you're rooted maybe, but you can't if you're not. The only option is to uninstall updates.

New version of Lightflow (3.6.1) in the Play Store that is supposed to fix the problem with Gmail notifications.
Still doesn't show Gmail notifications via the LED on my phone though.
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------
Quick update - I've been in touch with the developer and he suggested the following, which worked with the latest version (3.6.1) for me:
Go into lightflow->notifications gmail, select the gmail label you want (disable and enable it if already enabled) and see if that works.

Any way to get some sort of Application like S-Note on HTC One?

The Samsung Note 2 has a great S Note application where one can write notes and add pictures on there along with Audio Notes. Is there something similar to this application that is available or can be added to the HTC ONE? Is there one that comes with it or is there a way to get one similar to the one that comes with the Samsung Note 2 on there?
Instead of just having a basic note application where one can just types notes with no pictures or no audio. Anyone here able to help with this?

Does evernote not allow for this?

Evernote is an application that requires you to save everything on their server. No privacy this way and you have to upload and download everything from them every time you need something. Last but not least they charge you for storage space and you do not have the option to only keep info on your device only if I am not mistaken. Would prefer an application just like the one on on the Samsung Note 2 called the S-Note.
Thanks for your input though :angel:

Permissions and privacy invasions are like that of Evernote. That Toggle sync pretty much gives them control over turning and over riding your sync options meaning if you turn sync off they can turn it on and sync if they want to.

Yeah SNote syncs with your Samsung/SCloud account so everything is saved on Samsung's servers.
EDIT: S Note's permissions :

4

The only permission it isn't granted is 'Sleep with your wife/significant other' then?

Is that an option to sync with Samsung/SCloud or a must like Evernote? I did not know that all of the SNotes were synced to the Samsung Cloud Servers.

Material MMS APK(AOSP)

Here is the MMS APK that has material design, yes it has quick reply.
I have pulled this APK from Euphoria ROM for my own use, but I thought some of you may wish to use it.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473398790

Isnt that apk the same thing as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging ?

Yea but this is XDA. It's way to easy to install or update an app via the Play Store. XDA-style, we unlock the bootloader, install the new ROM, rip the apk of the app, then host it on a filesharing service. :highfive:

This is not the same app, the one you linked is the Google Messenger application, what I have posted is the AOSP MMS APK. This is the MMS apk you all are familiar with from CyanogenMod, but with a material design like the new Google Messenger app.

Was this actually updated with material on aosp or did someone customize it.

Thanks for the app link. It's so much better than the Google messenger. I couldn't stand not having the enter key and all the random colors for people.

Thanks for the apk, I have an issue. After I install and set as default messenger app I get a "wrong APN" popup on the screen that won't clear. I'm on Sprint, any ideas?

Try the following:
Set hangouts as default messaging app -> open hangouts settings -> change MMS apn to something other than what is selected by default -> change default messaging app back to original.

Not sure what i am missing but i downloaded the apk linked above and there is no action memo or or options to pin to home screen such as above

After you guys install the S Note app, be sure to install the action memo shortcut app developed by a reddit user:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote8/comments/6zb58n/action_memo_shortcut/
Basically, it allows you to make a shortcut to the action memo part of the S Note app. Which is useful for putting the action memo on the s pen pop up wheel.

When you open Snote click on categories and then click on action memos. Then you can click on the add New memo pen at the bottom right. To pin to desktop, click the share at the bottom left and then select pin to desktop in the menu.
Alternatively use the Reddit shortcut abovementioned

This thread is so helpful. Thanks guys.
