[Q] Don't like the ICS Youtube widget, can install GB version? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guy's,
I would like the youtube widget from GB back instead of the new ICS widget.
I extracted the 'com.google.android.youtube-2.apk' from a CWM gingerbread backup.
I delete the current youtube apk from the phone.
I installed the extracted youtube.apk to the phone.
Great, got the widget back.. but it crashes.. the GB version doesn't work on ICS
Anyone got a solution?
Regards,
~Trail.

I can't believe the rest of the world seems to like the new youtube widget...

hahahahahahahaha i think is a good widget i think that could be possible if you found some old Youtube apk and delete the new one and replace it with the old one...

There are screenshots of the smoked widgets in the thread if you click through to it, and I'm sure if you search G2 rom, google voice widget, you'll find screenshots of them too.

Here it is: http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/08/30/google-voice-widgets-leaked-for-android/ theres a video included as well.
I flashed the Smoked Widgets zip and now I'm stuck in a soft reboot loop. Sigh. Not a full reboot, just keeps going to black screen, no network connection, starting up again, scanning memory card, wash-rinse-repeat. Can't open any apps or do anything before it reboots itself again.
You have to do each .apk
Don't use the flashable .zip!
I've gotten Twitter, News & Weather, & Pandora widgets to work
Trying to get the CalendarProvider, FaceBook, & Engadget widgets working, but no luck so far. If anyone does get them to work, I would love to hear what you did
I was stuck at the reboot after installing the Smoked zip as well. Reflashed to stock and then since I was there, installed Vibrant8. adb installed Twitter.apk. adb installer failed for the the Facebook.apk so I did a adb push for both the Facebook.apk and GenieWidget.apk.
All 3 apps loaded fine but when I tried to reboot the phone froze as it was loading up. I don't know if it is one of the apk's (Facebook?) that was causing the issue or Vibrant8 but it would be interesting to see if anyone with a Vibrant on 2.1 got the Facebook one to work after a reboot.
I'm on 2.1, and currently working on getting FB to work. I'll post my results and method later today (might wind up being more like very early tomorrow haha)
No need for this anymore. Google Voice is now officially updated on the market with the widgets. Version 0.4.1.26
Does this mean we can use GV without using our carrier minutes?

They were calling Google an idiot, not you. Funny, though.
Kind of hard to tell since grammar isn't being used. It changes the whole structure of the sentence.
lol......wtf called u idiot? unreal

Alright so how do you apply those smoked widgets?
so i am trying to install these via root explorer, but i can't seem to find the apks for facebook or twitter in the system/app or root explorer?? it's on myu device but it must be named something else, anyone have a clue?
Did anyone get Facebook or Twitter working?

I moved both apps to /system/app before pushing the modified apk's through adb and I had no problems.

[REQ] Desktop Visualizer

I'm unable to find Desktop Visualizer on the market. I'm not sure if there's an error with the market since applying the UVJI6 update, or if it was taken off of the market, but I can't find it.
Could someone possibly link the APK for it on here? It's free, so I assume that's kosher on these forums. Hopefully this helps anyone else that's been looking as well.
Thanks!
Yeah I'm having the same problem, ive tried looking for it everywhere but its not working can somebody please post the apk if possible...

Thanks for posting apk.But for some reason I can only choose large,medium,and small widgetzand theres.no option for 4x1,1x2,etc.Also I can comfirm this app is not visible in my market either.either its been removed or theres an issue with JI6.
U have to edit the system.build.prop (or something like that)... just search for "market missing apps."

You can still do the icons just fine -- just use the small/medium/large options and resize the widget - I'm not having any distortion problems with this method. I think this is just an older version of the app or something.

TouchWiz Launcher and Widgets

Here is the apk for the touchwiz launcher. I installed it with no problems. (directly through phone) this is the touchwiz30_rolle file. This file does not need to be installed through adb!
Credit goes to rolle3k in the nexus section for the touchwiz30_rolle.apk file
the touchwiz.zip file includes samsung widgets and original unmodified touchwiz launcher file. I have not tested/tryed these, though if you want to install them, it must be done through adb.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.
couldnt attach the files directly so they can be found at:

I'm willing to try. I have already backed up. Do I just do a normal push?

I believe so, if it isnt, they may need to be compiled into a zip file for clockwork.
Its funny, all the people with a vibrant want nothing more than to get rid of touchwiz, and here we are adding it.

haha tell me about it, i just came from a vibrant to this and i dont want nothing to do with it at all! lol
i just wish i could get the memo.apk to work on my phone :'[
Did anyone have luck pushing the files? I haven't gotten a chance to get to my computer to do this.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Problems
I tried pushing it, and i am not getting it to install. anyone have better luck.
(i am referencing the the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk file)
Thanks downloading now directly to my phone.
EDIT: The launcher is a little slow when I scroll thru the icons. Plus the widgets doesn't want to install so I removed the whole thing.
Thanks anyway!

how did you get the launcher file to install?. I had no luck. i got it to push, just couldnt get it to install. please post directions.
VibrantOwnr,
In the zip file the .apk named "TouchWiz30_rolle.apk". That's the only one that installed for me. The one named "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" wouldn't install at all. The widgets wouldn't install either for some reason.
TouchWiz30_rolle.apk is just the launcer. No widgets!

My gf has a vibrant and she love the touchwiz. I like it a lot too is just personal preference.
Yes its also very choppy when flipping through screens on the application drawer....
can we possibly get a fix to that? I really love and prefer the TouchWiZ interface but the choppiness kills it, any one have any ideas as to whats causing it?

HTCAlbum.apk Replacement

I'm trying to replace the Glacier's stock Gallery application with the one used originally on the G1. I have found an .apk, but upon replacement with RootExplorer, it does not load as an available app. The gallery app is also available in CM's roms up to v.5 I believe... If anyone can assist me, or maybe post the required .apk I would greatly appreciate it!
Try this one

Thanks I'll give it a shot... Do i need to rename and place in system/app or just install? And based on the name, it seems to be the 3D gallery. I was originally looking for the 2D version (IDK how else to explain it) but I'll try it. Would you have the one I was looking for? Or is it not compatible?

The version i uploaded is a .apk, just download and install. it's not a "flashed" application. Also it is the AOSP stock 3D gallery. I don't have a "2D gallery" but this one is REALLY smooth on our phones.
Yeah its running pretty smooth; doesn't compare to the original one...
Here's a few photos of the one I'm looking for...

i know we are running two different frameworks of Android but i just installed it to my CM7 phone and it worked perfectly. Are you installing it via app manager or trying to flash it/push it.
I tried to push it via better terminal b/c I have s-off with permroot, but no avail. I also tried copy/paste to system/app, but it doesnt show up after a reboot. Third, I even tried installing by just clicking it through a file manager. I have been on google all day and can't find out whats wrong... I even found various versions, supposedly.
I dunno. I just tried it on my wife's phone, still using MySense and it doesn't install. I wonder if it's conflicting with the sense framework.

Thats a bummer... I'm thinking of just flashing to CM... But I see its still experimental... How buggy is it? Pro's? Con's?

Go to the market and search QuickPic (one word) and download the one from alensw.com. 2d gallery, works like a charm. Very fast.
I agree with the fellow above, been using QuickPic for about a week now and it's so much faster than the stock htc.album... so much so that I've now deleted the bloated htc.album and use QuickPic as default

[Q] Working GenieWidget for Gingerbread?

Gets asked a lot, but I'm just after some clarification as to how to get this to work
I recently rooted my Desire and installed Cyanogenmod, and now happily have a working version of Gingerbread on my phone.
Sadly, the GenieWidget (News and Weather) doesn't update unless I click on it. So I have stale weather and news for hours until I do so..!
Now, I've found some APKs that apparently work, but when I try to install I get an error saying "Application Not Installed".
From what I understand, this is something to do with the APK on the phone being signed by Google and the APK I've downloaded being signed by someone else (or basically just a general conflict in the signing of the apps).
Soooooooooo... anyone got any advice or directions as to how I can get a working News and Weather widget on my phone? It's one of my favourite widgets..!
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
CM7 has a functioning News & Weather widget.
with friendly greet
starbase64
Does it respect the refresh period for you? Because I can set it to update once an hour and 12 hours later the widget will still be showing old news and weather.
It only updates if I click on the widget itself, which wasn't what used to happen in 2.2 :|

I guess it's because it's a system app and has to be pushed there, right?
