Is not available on the phone (Droid X). Yeah sure there are motoblurry widgets, but I kind of liked the Google one - slim and handy. I downloaded a copy of GenieWidget.apk but it wouldn't install - not sure if I picked a bad copy or what.

Has anyone had any trouble getting the news and weather widget to work today? Usually I check it when I wake up in the morning, but it just displays 'network error'. I've tried WiFi/3G, uninstalled/reinstalled the apk, and restarted the phone with no luck.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI cane across the genie weather widget. Was wondering if anyone knows about it and if it is safe. If so, do I have to be rooted to install?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just got a new Eris from Verizon today and flashed 2.1 again on it and I can't find the news/weather in the market. I flashed the latest leak. Does anyone know where to get it. I had it before and thought it was in the market. I also did a search for the .apk you would think Google would put there products at the top of the page!
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a copy of the Google Genie APK that has transparancy and was previously using it. Velocity 0.3 has the Genie widget (was it in 0.2 as well...don't recall) and I've tried removing it via a script in the terminal emulator. Removed fine, but I cannot install the APK I have for some reason. Simply comes up with the error "Application not installed". When I do attempt to install the APK, a message comes up saying that "The application you are installing will replace another application". I know that the file versions are different as well. Love the transparent widget.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI love this app but the detailed graph which shows the temperature and probability of rain is now only showing a 1 hour scale instead of the 24 hour scale. (The graph still shows 24 hours) so I can't really tell how the forecast is changing throughout the day.
I've tried a soft reset but it didn't work. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it.
As the app was pre-installed on my phone I'm not sure how to remove it and reinstall.
How to get this to work? I just got a replacement Inc and none of the apk I have found will work on my phone, keeps saying it has stopped unexpectedly when I click to open it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAnyone using Genie.apk (News and Weather Widget)? I installed the widget for "Weather" and it has been working well, until yesterday. It just says "Sorry, unable to connect, Please try later." And there is a "Retry Now" Button. Pressing retry says "loading" but then returns the same message. I have deleted and reinstalled the widget with the same results. Hopefuly it is just a server issue, and will be fixed shortly.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI haven't seen this posted yet so here it is. Some of you may have seen the pics for the Google weather/news app/widget for Android 2.1 that was running on the Nexus One. Well some hackers pulled the .apk file off that phone and now have it available for us Droiders. I put it on my phone and it works great. The news app is really cool. You can create custom news topics such as "Android" or "Mobile News".

View 8 Replies View RelatedWas wondering if anyone has noticed a problem with the Google News & Weather widget today? I installed this on my EVO (Genie Widget.apk) because I love its simplicity and elegance, but today it's telling me "Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later" with a "Retry now" button. Just wanted to know if it's only my phone or everyone's? I tried rebooting, also tried stopping and uninstalling/reinstalling but to no avail. If it's happened to other people before and there's a trick to fixing it, that would be great to know too.
View 24 Replies View RelatedThis is nothing new, but I just used the Genie Widget from the Nexus One for the first time and I really love it and think that it looks good with the other HTC Sense Widgets.....So in case anyone wants to give it a try or hasnt seen it before here it is.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI got tired of the big clock on my screen, seeing as how I have one in the task bar anyhow, but enjoyed having the weather. There are many widgets out there, but I really liked the one that came on the nexus one.
Well here it is, for all you all firmware 1.5..
There is a clear background one..
Clear Genie Widget For 1.5 - Android @ MoDaCo
And the stock one..
Genie Widget For 1.5 - Android @ MoDaCo
You'll have to register for the forums over there..
The widget includes: News only, Weather only, or news and weather. Sharp widget! I'm using the clear now
if you weren't aware, the "news and weather" widget from 2.1 has been ported to 1.5:
Nexus One Genie Widget
Anyone tried this? i installed it on my galaxy and have a problem: widget works fine (both the weather and the news/weather combo one), but when i tap it to go to the news/weather app i can only view the news pages, the weather page force-closes. if i was at home i could get the error message via logcat but i can't do that right now (will update with that later).
On my droid x I tried to download nexus one weather genie apk file It says "can not download the content not support on this device " And I have unknown content checked off.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been looking for a simple yet powerful weather widget for quite sometime. (I don't need goofy weather animations.) The N1 news/weather widget is exactly what I was looking for, and it runs great on the Evo. The included app is also very nice, I like seeing a graph of temp change over time.
Here's a link to an Incredible thread with the apk download.
http://androidforums.com/tips-tricks-incredible/75946-nexus-one-weather-news-widget.html
I found this apk from another site so If anybody wants a nexus one weather/news widget I attached it here. It works with the Incredible. You just need to put the apk in the sd card, download AndExplorer from the market and install it.
View 36 Replies View RelatedI'm hoping someone might have a suggestion for how to port the News and Weather Widget from stock 2.1 do the Incredible. I had it on my Moto Droid (now the wife's phone), and I really prefer it to the HTC Flip-clock. I like how unobtrusive it is.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI doubt anyone is as excited about this as I am but with the 2.1 update, the Moto Droid has received the Nexus One News and weather app. I have been searching for something like this for along time and there were a few out there but nothing like the one that 2.1 has just given us. I know I sound like a loon but news and weather is part of my daily morning ritual and this just made it better!
