Thanks for providing the app...ran it on my MT3G, it didn't update like it should ( even after changing yhe settings) and took up more RAM than I'd like it to. I did like the look of it though.
[G1 Apps and Games] ronaldgreen1986:
thanks tengtengvn
[G1 Apps and Games] Brock Samson:
Just move the app to your phone and go into a file manager and rename the app from there.
[G1 Apps and Games] derwench:
Works great on my phone... i changed the .zip ext to .apk put the file to the root of my sd card and installed it in Astro.

Anyone notice issues using it over wifi?!?!

nvm.. was connected to a free wifi, and did not complete the registration process...

lol

thanks for posting this widget it's great...
[G1 Apps and Games] icreative:
Cool, thnx!
[G1 Apps and Games] j_d_:
reloading doesn't work for me.

after the refresh intervall, the widgets show "Loading" and i have to start it from the tray to reload. then the widgets show the info until the next refresh.
[G1 Apps and Games] Nidisa:
Sorry for being unlearned here, but when I navigate to my sd card through Astro, I see the GenieWidget.apk folder. I don't know how to install it though...there is no install option. Please advise?
[G1 Apps and Games] Ace42:
You rename the file from genie.zip to genie.apk...Then you can install it only if you have andos 1.6 and up..
[G1 Apps and Games] Nidisa:
I did rename it. And I can see it. I use Astro file manager. I can see it, just don't know how to install it. I'm running Android 2.0.1
[G1 Apps and Games] xtenpeben:
just tap on the file and it should give u choices on installing it.
[G1 Apps and Games] Nidisa:
when I tap on it, it opens to folders: AndroidManifest, classes, META-INF, res, resources.

Long press gives me File options: Details, Open As, Edit, Send, Extract.
[G1 Apps and Games] xtenpeben:
hmm, that's weird, never used Astro that's why. sorry, for most apk installs i use OI File Manager. i haven't tried installing this one tho, but i doubt it makes a difference on other apks.

i'll try it right now, get back to u.
[G1 Apps and Games] xtenpeben:
so renaming it on ur computer might give u this problem. other's might've not experienced this but i did. here's what worked for me

1. copy the .zip file on ur phone

2. rename it on ur phone using a file manager (I used OI) with a .apk extension

3. you'll see that it'll become an app installer, you'll see the difference on the icon

4. then tap it and you should be able to install it (given that you already checked yes on the installation from unknown sources)
[G1 Apps and Games] Nidisa:
Thank you so much, that did it! The rename did not take, left it with .apk.zip as an extension. Now its all fine and working on my droid :)

Thank you so much!

[G1 Apps and Games] phantomzer0:
How did you change the icon for chomp?
[G1 Apps and Games] david1171:
either edited the .apk or used bettercut.
[G1 Apps and Games] :
can't get this to work on my droid....

So I've tried renaming the .zip file using Astro and doing it on my computer first before transferring it to the phone and both won't work. I can click it in Astro, the app installer comes up and I click install, and then I get to the "package details" (which has two tabs, the "summary" and "details" tabs) and there is no information on the "summary tab" and the "details" tab just says "could not open /sdcard/GenieWidget.apk as APK file".

Any ideas as to what is going wrong??

Anyone else having an issue with the bottom the widget text (i.e. temp high and low) getting cut off in Enoch theme?
[G1 Apps and Games] dragongc:
i think the widget is designed for droid which has a higher resolution so on G1s it cuts off. just use another config for the widget like news and weather
[G1 Apps and Games] :
can't get it working, I renamed it, put it on sd card opened astro, opened it and it just showed the contents of it

oops, nevermind
[G1 Apps and Games] shmigao:
i have this problem, which is probably caused by the different font style drpfendersen uses in his Enoch theme

on the Enoch thread he offers a zip.-file that can be flashed to revert to the original font style
[G1 Apps and Games] tnpapadakos:
i love it, but i find it to be a battery vampire on my mt3g

is it just me, or is this thing a power hungry monster?
[G1 Apps and Games] hettbeans:

[G1 Apps and Games] FckingAllen:
I really need some sort of help. im using a Windows 7 64bit laptop, and i have NO IDEA how to rename the .zip file to a .apk file, im not familiar with windows 7 yet. any help would be great!
[G1 Apps and Games] Apfelstrudel:
In Windows-Explorer press "Alt" for getting Menu Bar, then go to Extras -> Folderoptions ->View -> uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"

Then you can rename the file extension.

I would like the transparent version, too. Please post!
[G1 Apps and Games] FckingAllen:
thank you so much! that worked. and i got everything going. i appreciate it.
[G1 Apps and Games] mttmllns:
I have the same issue. Pretty lame... anyone have a solution?
[G1 Apps and Games] rcarroll215:
I've been trying to find a pattern to the "loading" problem. It seems like it only happens when I'm connected to wifi. When I'm on edge or 3g it refreshes with no problems.
[G1 Apps and Games] Neejay:
Only problem I have with this, is that it doesn't pick up "My Location". I have to manually set the location.
[G1 Apps and Games] mttmllns:
Looks like that's it. I threw it on 3G overnight and woke up to it without the "loading" problem. Anyone else seeing it refresh always on wifi?
[G1 Apps and Games] tnpapadakos:
can i not just flash the zip from recovery mode?
[G1 Apps and Games] JAguirre1231:
No, you need to install it like a reg app, rename *.apk (*= whatever you want), and install
[G1 Apps and Games] Neejay:
Also, it ALWAYS shows a sun, regardless if it's night time or not.
[G1 Apps and Games] mttmllns:
Ya I think I may be done with it. I like the weather graph but that's about it...too many other disadvantages. I don't actually use the News aspect of it. Back to Weather Forecast Widget for now.
[G1 Apps and Games] Neejay:
Same, I'll definitely be uninstalling it.
[G1 Apps and Games] tnpapadakos:
ok thanks, just wanted to make sure
[G1 Apps and Games] JAguirre1231:
No problem
[G1 Apps and Games] Pfeffernuss:
Found the file on another forum, you can find it here :D

It works like a charm (depending on the background (dark is better)) :cool:
[G1 Apps and Games] Apfelstrudel:
NICE!

Thanks a lot, man!

When installing of transparent version fails, try to first install normal version, uninstall and then install transparent version. Thats how it worked for me.
[G1 Apps and Games] hettbeans:
Sweet. Many thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] shiben589:
Sorry, but how do you just rename a .zip to a .apk? It just renames to Geniewidget.apk.zip...
[G1 Apps and Games] cgg123321:
enable "show known files extensions" in windows.

To do this go to a folder and press alt>tools>folder options.
[G1 Apps and Games] shiben589:
Thanks! Works like a charm, awesome widget!
[G1 Apps and Games] rogmar:
Thanks,works nice on my Milestone.​

Anyone else having issues with it's cache? After a few days it had used about 65mb of storage, and I didn't see a way to limit it.

[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
Sorry if this has been asked before but...

how in the **** do you delete this app? Haha i deleted the .apk/zip off my sd card

and its still there and working

and I can't go through settings

[G1 Apps and Games] deuse:
Thanks I will try this :)
[G1 Apps and Games] bennos:
The widget uses after some days a lot of memory. seems to be that ever article is cached.

after deleting the cache all is fine.

Anyone has the same problem?

Hi, can someone try to port it to 1.5?

I don't know where changes must be done.

(i was a G1 owner and loved this app; now with my new Hero i don't want to loose Sense UI, so i really hope that someone can help me to port this apk to 1.5
[G1 Apps and Games] cal3thousand:
move your cache or clear it every once in a while... there's some programs that make it a 1 or 2 click affair.
[G1 Apps and Games] killyouridols:
How the hell do I remove the Background version so I can Install the Transparent Version? Cant find it in the system/SD card folders and Uninstall in ASTRO isnt Working :confused:

[G1 Apps and Games] mttmllns:
If you guys are having problems with temperatures showing up in Celsius in the new DeskClock app I found a solution. It involves grabbing a different version of the GenieWidget where home screen News widgets apparently forceclose (but the "just weather" one is fine). Shows up Fahrenheit on the DeskClock, though, and weather's all I care about anyways.

See here:

[G1 Apps and Games] Neejay:
I would love the Genie Widget, if it were able to correctly pickup my location via GPS. Having to constantly, manually type in a zip code defeats the purpose. :(
[G1 Apps and Games] mttmllns:
Menu > Settings > Weather settings > Use my location (Automatically determine location)
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
That's always worked great for me. Even with GPS turned off, it still has always gotten an accurate fix on my location.
[G1 Apps and Games] Neejay:
Right, that was the first thing I tried.

Can someone help?

thx in advance
[G1 Apps and Games] Zappletoo:
Maybe..

http://www.sendspace.com/file/fgtxc1
[G1 Apps and Games] Neejay:
I've given this several shots on my phone. It will NOT pickup my GPS signal, even after choosing it in settings. This is after doing a complete WIPE + new ROM installation.
[G1 Apps and Games] krixl:

[G1 Apps and Games] MarvinTheAndroid:

The version in the 1st post displays oversized temperatures in the Weather (not news & weather) widget.
[G1 Apps and Games] Flash23:

[G1 Apps and Games] MarvinTheAndroid:

[G1 Apps and Games] Zarahustra:
How the cache cleared? Where is it?
[G1 Apps and Games] Zappletoo:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage -> News & Weather -> Clear cache

If I remember correctly..

The latest version seems to store its cache on the SD card though, so it might be a good idea to update.
[G1 Apps and Games] cal3thousand:
This one also shows up with the numbers cut off in the weather only widget on my G1.
[G1 Apps and Games] hal_9000:
Problem with local news.

I'm having problems with the "news and weather" widget. I'm from Spain and it was showing the correct local news, but suddenly it has begun to show news from USA instead Spain.

I'm using xROM Eclair (old 2.01 based, not latest). I tried to update the 1.1.7 version which comes with the ROM to the 1.2.02 I found on this thread, but no way, still shows USA news and in addition I get a FC when I try to add the widget, so I went back to 1.1.7.

Is anybody having a similar problem? Any clue on what could have been changed for this?

P.S.: I checked that my locale is defined es-Es, and in addition, if I go to the "news and weather" "select news topic" settings menu the item there says "España", but then, on the actual news tabs it shows "Estados Unidos" (USA). :(
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
I've got the same problem in the UK.. All was fine until yesterday. :confused:
[G1 Apps and Games] hal_9000:
So it seems to be a problem on Google side. I hope they fix soon, I noticed this two days ago.

I even though that it may not be accidentally and may be they are leaving us out... (to non-USA or non-Nexus users I mean) I hope I'm wrong.
[G1 Apps and Games] MarvinTheAndroid:
Same here in the UK with GenieWidget 1.1.7 - getting US news instead of UK news.
[G1 Apps and Games] fresh87:
I'm also gettin U.S news instead of UK news and I'm running this on my nexus one so its not just a fault with the G1, its the app from google!

Its known about by google, lets hope we have an answer soon, although it seems to have gone quiet :(
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
Looks like google really can't be arsed to fix this. Shame.. I liked that widget.
[G1 Apps and Games] hal_9000:
It seems to be fixed! :) I'm getting news from Spain again.
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
You're right! Had to go into the options and reselect my topics, but its working again now... finally, no more inane yank news about some sport arsehole i've never heard of!!! :D
[G1 Apps and Games] jayb222:
I uninstalled a pre installed genie widget.apk from /system/app and now it won't let me install another version. Keeps saying, cannot install on this phone. What else do I have to do to get it to install? I've tried many different apks. And they work on roms that don't already have a version pre installed.
[G1 Apps and Games] hal_9000:
When I replaced the version in my xROM by one mentioned on this thread, I had to manually remove the old from "/system/app" and then push the new to the same location, since a normal installation of the new APK always said me that the previous version was a system app and cannot be replaced.
[G1 Apps and Games] jayb222:
I moved it to /system/app with root explorer and it didn't work. Would pushing be any different? I've push framework though root explorer and it's the same as pushing through adp. Any files I need to make sure I get rid of so I can install regular?
[G1 Apps and Games] ljbaumer:

The servers don't work since two days in France. You just have to wait.

Furthermore, I think the storm has hit the weather central station, they need time to repair it (near Paris, the weather datas are centralized there).

Weather Timeline with problems?

Hi

I had it fully working on my Cyanogen Nexus, but now I have a GalaxyS, and my wife still have a HTC Magic (CM5.0.7).

Curiously, both my GS 2.1 (stock) (with 1.1.7 and 1.2.02) and my wifes, when I try to drag the weather timelime, the time below is always crazy. You cannot never know what time the graph is refering too. :confused:

Perhaps anything related to phone language? I was using EN on my N1, but now since google released all maps & voice for brazilian portuguese, I dont have this choice anymore. Did put my GS in EN, but no difference (did not try to reboot it in english yet...)

Anyone having this? Is there a way to contact the developer? Is the a main developer? I found the src for 1.1.7 somewhere...

Kind regards

Marco

EDIT: NOW WHAT???? Its working on my GS, but not yet on the Magic. I did nothing on the GS... Just passed midnight.
