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.
Alright. Let me lead off by saying I searched google and this forum and I couldn't find the answer to my problem. I have found the "answer" to my problem that has worked for other people but not for me. So let me explain my problem and the solutions I tried. Any help would be appreciated.
I bought Beautiful Widgets from the market place. When i go to download it, it says "download unsuccessful". Let me make clear that i'm not rooted (or ever want to be) and I'm running 2.1-update1.
Solutions that I've tried..
1. settings > apps > manage apps > I cleared data in the "Download Manager" and cleared cache in the "Market" section.
Basically i took this advice, http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/38687-problem-beautiful-widgets.html, it worked for that dude, Didn't work for me.
2. I've restarted the phone a few times and that didn't work.
3. I refunded my money, and bought the app again, didn't work that time either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Edit: I gave this a new title because paid apps do download, just not beautiful widgets.
Can you install any app at all or does this affect all apps?

this only happens to paid apps. After all of this happened, I successfully downloaded beautiful silent widgets (or w/e) in the market and it was free.

I tried both.. also i set up a google voice account (like that one post suggested) .. i signed in and out of it and back in.. and still that app didn't download.
extremely frusterating
update: ok i bought doodle jump lol.. and that worked.. so i guess it must be something wrong with beautiful widgets?

Do they take apps down when they update them? Just curious, after you answer that i'll give an update after I find out what the problem is.
A dude on #android on Efnet IRC has the same problem.
He tried to buy it, said it went successful, then it was authorizing purchase for a long time.
Then got stuck, then Google issued him a refund because of some server error.
Now, when he goes to his downloads, it says Beautiful Widgets still says "purchased".
The BW author is on twitter all the time. I talk to him time to time. I think it was yesterday he mentioned that there are problems with his server and discussing with the powers that be to get a new one. If you have a twitter account, you may try him there if you havent sent him an email already.
hum - having exactly the same problem.. says purchased, click install, says download unsuccessful.. Followed the cache clear and made no difference..

I have emailed dev - but no reply..
Anyone have any thoughts?
Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but Beautiful Widgets caused problems for me anyway. Constant freezes and crashes. Overall slowdown of everything. I'm back to normal after uninstalling.

Its a tasker like app, you can set predefined rules to execute on actions... so for example: you flick your wrist and app would open..
I believe you can setup connectivity between your phone and your gear also, so if you flick your wrist an app could also open up your phone ? Or atleast this is what iv been led to believe anyway.

Exactly what im thinking, Iv got wemo's all around my house... I cant wait till I can control them via my gear !
All I need is to send a GET request to my home server and I can toggle them, tasker handles this with no problems !
What im hoping to do is trigger tasker profiles using atooma actions..
Cool that it is there...not cool that it erased all my watch faces I already created after I updated. Bummer! I don't really notice any differences...did not see any new options or styles of hands or anything. It's still an awesome app though.

I backed all mine up and still lost them. When I went back in after the restore it's like they couldn't be recognized by the app.
Does anyone know why I am getting this, and why the device refuses to let me know which app is causing the alert?
I wanna root, and I have read several posts where root was stopped and this message was displayed.
I have a brand new stock phone and wanna get rid of this crap right away !!!
I don't wanna start off my android experience with bugs !!!
I can post screen shots if needed, but anyone else seeing this has already seen what I have.
anyone else in the same boat? How do we get rid of this crap? Which app has been "forced to stop"?
I get the exact same error message from time to time.
Just like you, I don't know which of my apps is causing the error.

It is caused by Outlook Security which is useless but comes on the stock AT&T ROM. Just go into the App manager and stop it, and you should not get the warning anymore. For some dumb reason that program does not like stock apps. You would think they would have tested this more before they put it in the ROM. Oh yeah that's right, that's what we are for.

I'm pretty sure you're going to need root to use that method.
No root required to disable apps. However, to remove them, then the phone needs to be rooted.

Subject line of the thread linked says Root not required, but sure!
Tried it out just now, thanks for linking it @blkghost22, I've been trying to find a way to disable certain things and this did it!
Stock Music app sometimes comes up when I connect my phone to the car via Bluetooth, and there wasn't any easy way to disable it
I also recommend going to Filter, typing ATT, and disabled all that crap too - I've done everything except Knox, Remote Support, and Usage manager.... someone needs to come up with a safe list of apps to disable to debloat this device, it would be very helpful!
Will this let me disable stuff like the built in browser? Because there are some aid that the phone just won't let you disable which I find really dumb.

It should, I don't know the title of it from an APK or package standpoint (I know it's called Internet, but I can't find it searching right now), but once you find it, you can disable it
EDIT - SBrowser is the name of it

Okay, I can't read. I'm sending thanks X 2 to Charlotte, NC.
I'm at 55 apps disabled so far, and I don't think I'm being all that aggressive with disabling TW / Samsung / ATT features..... Anyone know of a good safe list for this phone yet where we can really speed this thing up? Not like it really needs it, but there's lots of hidden crap on it running we know about but haven't been able to disable previously

You mind sharing what you've disabled? I've done a lot manually. Haven't gotten a chance to test out the above program but I don't think I got anywhere near 55...

Honestly, and I appreciate you looking to me for advice, I don't think I'm the best one to go off of, I know that nothing I've disabled was going to crash my phone, but it's all that TW / Samsung / ATT features like I was saying - the program allows you to filter by text used, even if in the middle of a package name, and that helped a few times tracking down some odd APKs
I read on Forbes that the S6 has 56 apps of bloatware on it, and I'm at 55 disabled apps, with a lot of TW / Samsung / ATT features still running, so most likely that was a list of what they could see from the app drawer or something....
Nothing from me. Just wanted to see if people actually tried it. If it worked then go thank the dev or programmer of that debloating app.
