Hi, I remember on my s2 there was an accuwaether widget by default. Is it missing from the s3? I like having a widget that shows a 5 day forcast.
Thanks
Still there on S3.

I have the widget, but an unable to figure out how to make it show 5 days. It only shows the current temp and to get the full forecast, you have to click on the widget.
I want it to look like in the image attached.

probably your best bet for that is to bring over the apk from another Rom

I just realized genie widget was missing from the stock ROM. Here it is if anybody wants it. Goes to /system/app, set permissions and reboot.

Can anyone go to the evo 3D forums and find newtoroots sense4 port and rip the genie widget from that? It matched so perfect, was sad to see it missing

why cant u go and get it tho?
You would think someone coming here from the 3d would have it handy somewhere. To prevent someone from having to DL an entire ROM just to get it. I came from Evo 4g to here, so I'm not familiar with newts, and dont have any files from 3d forum.
Actually, I'll bet any Gapps package would have it, I would think. I just was surprised it didn't come stock. I use the widget on my main homescreen.

Genie widget = news and weather app.
This one can be installed like a normal data app. I renamed it so I would remember what it was since genie widget hardly gives any clue. Just download it to your sd card and click it and it will install like any other app. The menu key shows up on it as well which didn't work for me on my transformer Prime if I used the system/app version. Kind of hard to customize without a menu key. Not sure if that would be an issue on the EVO LTE but I didn't care to find out.
Although I am unsure if the HTC version had better customization or widgets than the stock google version which is what this is I believe. I only use it for the app. I would give credit to whoever posted it but I can't even remember where I got it. I used google search awhile ago to find it.
I actually have a couple that will install like a regular app as well. I'll post them tonight
I have one with no background and one with a smoke/transparent background.
I sent a PM to Newt and asked if he could help me get the one from his port to work on our phones..hoping he hooks us up.
Works, but when tapping on the weather screen for a hourly view, it has an error reading "Unfortunately, News & Weather has stopped". That feature was a big plus with this app, hope someone can figure out how to get that to work again.

You have force gpu rendering enabled on your phone. Settings>Developer options>Force GPU rendering.
Uncheck that and it will work.
Also, I'm not sure you know this but tapping the weather icon on HTC's weather clock widget that most people seem to keep on their homescreen brings up a screen with weather details and at the bottom there are tabs where you can look at the hourly conditions as well in a little more detail.

Thanks!
Has anyone else noticed the weather widget keeps disappearing and restarting every time you go to the home screen from some other app? Any fix for this, besides not using the weather widget?

Lol, I don't even get a weather widget option.
And yet it's installed!

Serious? You can't put a weather widget on the homescreen? Are you using touchwiz?
Just got the Note 2. My last phone was the HTC Rezound. I loved the live wallpaper that were available, especially one called slide show. This allowed my home screen to cycle through photos, so my homescreen changed backgrounds automatically from the album I picked. It shows up as com.htc.android.image_wallpaper with TiBu on Rezound. Tried to restore it to the Note 2 but didn't work.
Anyone know if it is possible and can I just copy those two files to move the Live wallpapers from my old phone and make it available on my new Note 2?
TIA.

Thanks. The guy on the video has a very deep accent. I had to replay it like 5 times, but picked up a few words on name of the app and searched it. FX photo Live wallpaper. Not exactly what I wanted but an alternative.
Over the weekend I swapped from CleanRom Lite to Beans build 10. I noticed that I can no longer change the wallpaper background on my lock screen. I use golauncher and also noticed that I am no longer able to change app drawer wallpaper background.
Anybody else seeing this problem?

Are you using the gallery to change it. It will not work with the 4.2 gallery if you selected that in aroma during install. No sure about go launcher tho as I haven't used that since pre-ics days
So when I go to that option, it only allows me to pick a wallpaper using gallery. It won't allow me to use any of the other media apps like quickpic...
Can that be changed? How can I have the phone allow me to use quick pic at the choose lock screen wallpaper selection screen?

Here's what mine looks like even after I change lock screen wallpaper using quick pic to set.

You need to open gallery, find the pic you want, hit menu, then set as. This will bring up options where to set it
After I do that, the wallpaper remains the same. This really isn't that big of a deal, just a small thing I would like to be able to do. Any thoughts on why it won't take?
I will try restarting the phone and see if that does anything...

Hmmmm. Not really sure from here. Could be an issue from the pin lock? Have you tried changing it to swype and see if it works? If not I'm not sure, maybe a go launcher issue.

Thanks for the info. Was able to change my lock screen without issue.
lock screen issue
hello buddy
is there a way to change the lock screen which came with the rom using root explorer in some how?
I was wondering if anyone would be able to create a mod for the galaxy note 2 lock screen that shows notifications. They don't need to be clickable, but it'd be useful so you can see your last couple of notifications.

Thats the kinda look i mean. But thats for Android 4.2. I meant a mod for the Samsung Lockscreen. Note 2 is 4.1.2 if i'm not mistaken.

I want the Samsung lock screen as I like that but I'd like an extra feature of the notifications similar to that. Just wondering if it can be done and if it can then maybe someone could do it.

I do have that, but i want a feature where i can just have the notifications viewed on the lockscreen. Besides, it only shows the calls, messages and battery if i'm not mistaken.

Same as linked above and i said that its unsuitable as this won't work on the samsung lock screen. Samsung lock screen can't have widgets on it. I'm looking for a modification to the current lock screen. Widgets won't work as you can't run widgets on the lock screen and i don't want to use a different lock screen as i like the current samsung one.
Simple don't use the Samsung lock screen just use Widget Locker to over ride the Samsung lock screen this is what I'm using with mine.
