Hope someone can help me get a transparent news widget on my rooted Captivate. I have no other themes installed, but would love a this mod for the background I use.
I looked everywhere and tried mostly all of the transparent genie widget .apk and .zip files, but they just won't install. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if there are any other ways of doing the deed.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, and my apologizes if this has already been asked.
the one i have works on my phone. try it.
Just tried and its a no go. It will act like it is installing and than says app not installed (via apkinstaller).
I get an unable to parse error

i'm having the same issue as well. tried installing it a few times, even rebooting and nothing...
No problems here, it installed just fine.
I'm on JH3/SRE_1.2.1a.
Thanks for the app!
Did you guys uninstall the old non-transparent genie widget first? That let me install this fine
EDIt: changed "install" to "uninstall".
i did. SWM said i already had it installed, same with the transparent one too
Sorry I meant uninstall the old one first. that made it work for me.
I uninstalled it and transparent still wouldn't load. Now I've lost app. Not good.
i can't even find it when trying to uninstall! and when i re-install, it says its already installed..
Thank you so much! I uninstalled genie first and then installed this one and worked great.
Ok guys this is how you do it. First uninstall the old genie widget if you have it, its in applications named "news and weather" not genie widget. After you uninstall the old one reboot the phone before attempting to install the new one. Install transparent after the reboot.
I used sideload wonder machine to install file from my pc but any method should work as long as you reboot after uninstalling the original.
WOWWWWWWWWW....i felt like the biggest newb after reading that.
NEWS AND WEATHER WIDGET!! lol!!
ok...so i had it all along...and the transparent one too.
le sigh...
thanks
I can't see the stock News and Weather app to remove it on my device.
Any thoughts?

I'm not sure I can help much as I just poked around until it worked.
I found news and weather with titanium backup and tried yo uninstall it there. I'm not site that did it but I saw the name of the app was com.google.genie.genie or something.
I think I then found that in the regular place...homescreen/menu button/applications /manage apps
I didn't necessary catch everything I did so I hope it might still help.
Thanks Dave. I'll fiddle with it a bit more.

Even after I delete it, when I try to load transparent one it still says it will replace it. I have searched all over for any other file I would need to delete, with no luck.
So now what do we do?
Followind the [email protected] 7,2,2 OTA, I re-rooted, renstalled ADW Launcher etc etc... In ADW was't impossible to install widgets and wallpapers: solved for static wallpaper downloading Wallpapers HD, live wallpapers still not working.
I found no way to get widgets working. Has someone suggestions? Thanks
SOLVED! thanks to cdictio see his post down the page

Same issue, but with Go Launcher. I try to add a widget and it briefly says 'loading' but then nothing happens afterwards. Interestingly, the Go Launcher widgets can be added just fine, the list of them populates and they can be added, so the fundamental mechanism seems fine and because it happened on ADW it doesn't appear to be a launcher-specific issue.

I am having the same problem since the 7.2.2 update. My KFHD is unrooted (I do not have the expertise to do it and do not want to void my warranty), but learned here how to use the ADW launcher (Thanks!). Widgets already installed still work, but can't add new ones to the homescreens. I have had a couple of other issues since the update, and spent about 20 minutes on the phone with Amazon CS yesterday without resolution--she wanted me to deregister, and if that didn't work to do a factory reset. I am unwilling to do that at this point as I don't want to lose my widgets that are still working.
Other issues since update: Business Calendar app and KFHD calendar app will not sync with my Google calendar (they did before).
Notifications are muted, but sound anyway. For now, I will just use the Google calendar on a Chrome webpage, and turn off my Wifi at night so notification sounds won't wake me up, but am not pleased about having to use work-arounds!

Tried and it works!
It solved my widget problem with ADW. I hope it will work for the other launchers too.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
it solved also the live wallpaper problem! The trik was to move the picker to system\apps, change permissions and NOT install : just leave it there: exacliy as for the widgets picker. Thanks again
Had similarv issues. Installed APEX Launcher and everything works fine.

Is there an option for unrooted KFHD? I was thrilled to find your solution for recovering access to widgets after 7.2.2 upgrade. However after attempting several times I can not copy your apk to system/app... I have concluded that it is because my Kindle is unrooted?????
The widgets were working with 7.2.1 then immediately after the upgrade I could no longer access them to place on screen. Everything else with ADWlauncher EX v1.3.3.8 Is still working with no problems, including still being able to place shortcuts and folders on the homescreen.

I would also like to know if you can get widgets to work without root, as I am not too keen on trying to obtain root access again after almost bricking it the day I got it....

Voted up, thanks!
To those who are unrooted, did Amazon customer service provide any additional info regarding this problem? Hope you get it fixed!
No, CS didn't provide any info, and I was kicked up a level from the first rep. Saw in another thread that there's already a 7.2.3 update, but mine hasn't updated yet. Hopefully that will help. I have noticed that since 7.2.2 my speakers haven't done the random loud pop.

After several attempts with Amazon getting NO HELP because app is sideloaded and not from their App Store. Someone in the Amazon forum said upgrade 7.2.3 apparently helped, but has made no difference for me.
CAN ANYONE HELP?? Please!! Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I have the same problem. On a happy note i found that background hd wallpapers from the 1mobile market lets me change my backgrounds wooohooo you just have to click save first then click set wallpaper. I am unrooted as well.
After the Verizon OTA JB update (4.1.2), My Gallery will not open. It just says "Error while launching application." The default camera app does the same thing.
Third party apps (LittlePhoto and Camera ZOOM FX) seem to be working fine, and I am looking for a good Gallery app in case I cannot get this fixed.
I tried clearing data/cash for Gallery app. I found somewhere that this was supposed to fix this problem. It didn't.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

i would just wipe data in recovery
you will need to backup, texts, call logs, contacts… if you want to save

Really hoping there is an easier way to fix this. Looks like several people have the problem (judging by a google search), but no solutions yet.
Motorola's "My Gallery" was removed by the update and replaced with Google "Gallery" app.
If My Gallery is still listed (and tied to the camera) it sounds like your install didn't install completely or you restored things after the update.
You may want to flash the JB fastboot files, factory reset and reconfigure.
That was it! Looks like the camera app was also replaced. I was using App Manager. It kept the "links" to the old apps in the icon folders. After removing the old camera and gallery icons, and then adding the new ones, everything works fine.
Thanks tcrews!

I can't get the new theme to appear on my Gear. I get a small "theme applied" popup message on my Gear, but then all I get is a "spinner" at the clock face (that never goes away).
I've tried the uninstall/reinstall trick (several times actually)... but nothing seems to work.
I presume it's because my Galaxy S4 is the Google Play Edition and that something is requiring TouchWiz?
Has anybody else got WatchStyler working on an S4 GPE?
Works fine on my gpe.

So what files actually get copied from the phone to the gear?
I've poked around my gear with ES file explorer, and I don't see any hint of my theme that I created (and supposedly transferred)
Hi,
I cleaned my note and cleaned too much I guess bc it won't autorotate anymore.
Would love to find out how to fix it.
Cheers!

Sounds like you deleted Samsung Hub. Deleting that will cause auto rotate to not work. I can upload the apk for you when I get off work.

Thanks, that would be awesome!
Move this to /system/app, set permissions to rw-r-r (0644), reboot, and that should fix it. If not, it may be Odin time.
A thing on debloating. Don't delete the items, pay the few bucks for Titanium Backup Pro. You can freeze the app. The joy of that is when you want to OTA a new update, you can un-freeze all of the AT&T bloat, un root, and bingo, back to stock

I reinstalled Samusng Hub and auto rotate is still not working. Also I can't get the clock to display on the lock screen. Can you guys help?

There are probably more apks "missing"...if you can remember what you deleted I can upload them for you but it might just be easier to start over with a fresh flash. I'd definitely recommend freezing apps as opposed to deleting them as well but @Walter.White has a flashable debloater script if you don't want to pay for the Pro version. Just flash it in safestrap after you've reflash stock and you'll be good to go! It's pretty serious debloating though you'd probably have to install apps you do use from the play store afterwards...the list of apks/apps removed is in the OP

Did you reboot after moving it to/system/app? Are the permissions set correctly?

Put in /system/app set permissions to match the other apps and reboot.
Found this thread and followed the fix for auto rotation. Worked a charm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793441
