GenieWidget.apk (News and Weather app) - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Over the years I've grown quite fond of the News and Weather app. Unfortunately, it seems that it does not come pre-installed on the Nexus 7 so I figured I would just move it from my Galaxy Nexus to my Nexus 7. Sadly, I cannot seem to get it to work...
What I did:
Copied GenieWidget.apk from my Galaxy Nexus
Moved GenieWidget.apk to my Nexus 7's /system/app directory
Modified the permissions of the .apk to 644
Rebooted
Any ideas?

grab a new apk online
it's working on my nexus 7
and i remember simply opening the apk, not having to put it in system and edit, etc

The new apk? I assumed the apk on my JB Galaxy nexus was the newest. You see, I would really prefer to install the .apk from my phone if at all possible as it hasn't been out of my sight.
Though, if could give me a link to the apk you're referring to I would appreciate it.

On a similar note, I seem to be having the same problem with both BrowserGoogle.apk and CameraGoogle.apk.
Any other ideas...?

Seems like the easy way out. I was really hoping to get the method in the op working properly as it may be useful for other applications (see my previous post).

Have you tried installing the apk. Thats how I got it on mine. My only issue is that I can't seem to enter the settings menu for it to add my own topics.

This one just worked fine for me, though like mentioned, cannot access settings to adjust anything on it owing to the N7 not placing a menu button anywhere. Still, quite nice. Wish I could scale it a bit and customize it.

hi guys, any have the apk but with ICS transparency? Many thanks for that!!!

Hi, I've attached an ICS version that has the settings/menu button in the bottom right corner that allows you to adjust the options.
It works fine on the Nexus 7.
Hope it helps!

I didn't think I'd ever get this news app to work on my Nex 7, but it does! Feeling like Doc Brown right now-- except I didn't put in any work! Thanks, man! :highfive:
BTW, didn't need to put it in the system folder; it opened right up from the root folder (such that it is) with settings and widget available.

Unzip this file either in your phone or on PC then go to SYSTEM - APP. In there is 2 files "CarHomeLauncher" and "CarHomeGoogle" you need to install both of these using an apl installed like ASTRO. Thats it simple. I have it running on my phone am usin LeeDROID SENSE rom, works on all sense roms

Which rom are you using to have errors with the apk?

I'm on stock ROM (with latest update).
Tried downloading gapps from CM but still have the error message. gotta admit I don't know why :s
i have the same errors here guys,tried both!!
First one posted works fine for me thankyou.
I tried both the HTC Car Home App, and the stock Google One. While I like the simplicity of both, one big letdown is that you can't change the shortcuts!!!
The HTC Car Home has only one screen with 6 shortcuts, but one is wasted on the Footprint App, want to replace that with a shortcut for example to dial my gf ! Anyone managed to do that?
The Google one is even worse, because while it has two screens, with the second hone having 3! empty slots, I havent been able to even fill these slots with custom shortcuts?
Anyone had more luck than me in finding a method of adding their own shortcuts?
It's crapware anyway. Just a screen with big icons. *shrug*

Look In OP in this thread. Pick a camera link. Now once you've done so:

As far as widgetsoid, I cannot help you. But there are Quick settings in the notifications bar. Save your phone some space, and delete Widgetsoid.

Awesome! This should be placed on the 2.1 thread, the percent icon is butt-ugly.
Had to restore the precentage icon... after applying this, I lost the selection box for gallery etc... like when you click video or image from a file manager, android asks for what program to open it with (if you have not set default program)... this dialog seems to open in background... the screen darkens etc. But it will not bring the selection box in front.. also setting the wallpaper will not show the cropping screen...
After restore, all is OK

I'll have te dig into this as I get to my Xoom. I'm not sure about the deodexing... I tough that as the apks are like zip -files and they contain all the resources needed, like images, that the system apks would have been "unpacked" to the system thus making theming easy... but with quick reading on my phone while walking the dog, it seems that deodexing is more complicated...

Control Your Note 10.1 From Your PC - Including Using S Note

This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...
http://www.mobizen.com/en/?page_id=236
Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

This is a great tool, thank you very much for sharing! I have it installed and it is working very well.
This is exactly what I was looking for, something that allows me to easily connect to my Note and utilize S notes (or whatever) with my computer keyboard.
I have plenty of work documentation that I can now easily copy and paste into S notes, and this saves me a lot of time retyping everything. :good:

Reading the user reviews in Google Play, a lot state that they took away WIFI. Can someone confirm that? I'd really love this if it could be used over WIFI.
Maybe downloading the apk from the link provided early instead of downloading it from Google Play will still have WIFI available??
Can you tell me how you copy paste into the tab using this tool.. I want to copy text from PC and paste into tab using mobizen screen.

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.

Upload various APK's

Hi there, I have an aussie galaxy note 3, and it came with a series of quirks that are really annoying me
First, the touchwiz launcher - you cannot edit the bottom row of icons in the dock, they are fixed.
The camera - The autofocus and camera shutter are ridiculously loud and cannot be shut off
The gallery - There is no auto rotate, to rotate to landscape, you must put your phone in landscape mode and then click on an icon to rotate.
Could someone please upload the above apks from their non aussie device? This means I could install them over the top of my existing ones?
Or is there an easier way of doing this? I tried deleting all the sound files in system/media/ui (everything like camerashutter.ogg) and still no success.
Cheers.

You're going to need root to install any of the above apk's or to edit/delete the camera shutter.

Thanks for this, sorry for the stupid question but I need help isntalling them - I have root.
I have deleted the old apks but when I try and install yours it fails. How do I install it with root?

Yep, apparently its the aftermath of the samsung/apple lawsuit in Australia. How stupid!

You may need to push them to /system/app via adb. Additionally, you might just need to resign them. Sorry I didn't test it beforehand. I just pulled them straight off my N3. I can try it once I get home from work later tonight.

Thanks, much apprecited.
Not sure if Im doing anything wrong.
Mounted apps as r/w
I moved those apks to system/apps
Changed permissions
Still failing.
Use root explorer and drop them in /system/app folder. Fix permissions, and reboot. No need to sign system apps.

Fyi. Don't delete old apk's until you are sure the new ones work. For example, rename systemuiapk to systemui.apk.bak

Thats what I did, maybe the apks the guy uploaded were bad. - I deleted the old apks after making backups with titanium so no issue
A guy on whirlpool said he just flashed another regions firmware, and that let him silence the camera and modify the bar at the bottom.
I don't have mine yet so can't test...
Does anyone know if that would mean the region locking would suddenly apply if i did that?
(Australian models don't have region locking...)

I dunno what to tell you. The apks were pulled straight from my phone which is running this rom
If your phone is N9005 then you did a huge mistake ..
Extract what you want from omega rom.

You got it all wrong guys. Changing the apks won't do sh*t.
You need to remove a few of lines in your others.xml relating to this. I am on Aussie firmware and have done it already.
Search system/csc/others.xml and open with text editor in Root Explorer. I am in a rush now but if you can't locate the lines to remove I will find later for you.
Once deleted save & exit then reboot.
Done and enjoy
Just intalled omega rom, so don't worry about it. May as well post it for others.
