The only bookmark widget I have is the Samsung one (S Bookmarks) that is a pretty crappy bookmark widget, I am trying to get the stock ICS aosp one working as its much nicer looking and allows you to scroll...
I have taken the browser.apk from FJ's "inverted_app_kit_aosp_widgets.zip" and put it in \system\app and rebooted but I still don't have it showing up in my widgets list?
Is there another part to this that i'm missing?
I am running the Stock UCLE2 leak rom from FJ, I think that somehow the update to Chrome (that now includes a bookmark widget) somehow messed this up, I have uninstalled Chrome and I still can't seem to get that widget back and working...
Just to add to this, its definitively Chrome messing this up, it overwrites the AOSP bookmarks.apk with its own, but even after uninstalling Chrome and flushing Cache and Dalvik and rebooting, I cannot get the AOSP bookmark widget to show back up. The .apk is there it just doesn't show in the widget list anymore.
Anyone know how to refresh or rebuild the items that show in the widgets?

Its bookmark.apk, from AOSP, however once you install Chrome it never worked again unless I flashed a new rom. Chrome just messes it up basically...

Is there any way to replace the touch wiz calender with the default android one? The touchwiz one only lets me set one reminder.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Not only that if/when you put in a location in the TouchWiz version and when you click on your appointment it would show you the location. When you click on the location it would bring up navigation. So now my location is kinda useless. Sure its useless unless you use it, but I would put in my Dr address and often I forget which street to turn on so it would navigate me there.
Here are the Google default calendar apks ripped from the N1 CM5 ROM
WARNING: These will replace your touchwiz calendar (the default one) and your phone could become unstable. I have not tested this, and I don't believe anyone else has. Make a nandroid backup before your try this (if you do)
Thanks! I will try it tomorrow when I wake up.
There is a thread on the I9000 board about this
ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735035
Thanks! All these different versions of the phone make it hard to find these already created threads.

It did it on mine following the instructions in that that thread.
It works just fine if you delete the TW calender and provider, ( I used Root Explorer) and then install the N1 version, but you will then loose a few of the Samsung widgets, like daily briefing, There is 1 or 2 more that use the calendar for input on the widget, so basically anything widget linked to the TW calendar will force close once you replace, but I think it is well worth it to have the stock calendar and widget back.
What if you are running something like launcherPro?
Anybody know where I can find a apk file for friendstream that works on the vibrant?
I am using LP and it appears that I can't use my samsung widgets (if anyone knows how I can utilize the feeds and updates widget with LP please let me know).
I have downloaded some friendstream.apk files from different parts of the forums but they weren't installable so any help would be great!
You can't use TW widgets with LP.
dang, i figured but I really want to be able to use some sort of social aggregator so I am lookinig for a friendstream apk at least.
Try Socialite or just use the Facebook app
socialite isn't in the market place. i too liked the friendstream widget on TW.

Use the T-Mobile Social Buzz app. It integrates Facebook, Twitter and Myspace into one. It doesn't have a Widget but it has notifications that you can manually set intervals for. Check it out!
next version of launcher pro plus will have a friendstream type widget. but you wont be able to use friendstream either since thats a sense widget

I was just wondering if anyone was working on a google search widget for touchwiz. I know I can use it on launcherpro or adw but I like touchwiz and I don't think I'm alone.

If TouchWiz was as themeable as LP I would be using it as well.
Can't you just load the googlesearch.apk on touchwhiz. Cause that's what I was running on lp and adw. But all it is is an apk I don't see why it wouldnt work. You would have to reroute all the bing. I can't remember where I found the fully working transfer for google.but its there.
It doesn't work. I already have it installed and it doesn't appear under widgets. Trying to install it again fails.
This is a problem that seems to occur only in ICS, but I don't know more than that. It didn't happen when I was running stock, stock/rooted, or Saurom. I'm using the Apex launcher but a quick Google search shows similar reports from people using Nova.
I'm running Flappjaxxx's ICS IMM76D UCLE2 Base (but I haven't updated to the new release that came out today). I've also noticed this on ICS Objection (with Apex launcher).
So, here's the issue: occasionally widgets will "Freeze" and stop updating. I've seen this with Beautiful Widgets (the clock will stop updating, so it will read 3:05 when it's actually 3:30), Android Pro Widgets (specifically the calendar and bookmark widgets--the calendar will not let you advance to different months, the bookmarks widget will not update to show new bookmarks if you refresh it), and the TweetCaster Pro widget (it will not update to show the latest tweets when you press the refresh button).
There is still some functionality with the widgets--they don't die completely. I can still touch the clock portion of Beautiful Widgets and get to the alarm settings. I can still touch individual days in the APW calendar widget and see appointments, and touch the header to launch the full calendar, and the APW Bookmarks widget is still scrollable, clicking individual bookmarks will launch those pages, and touching the header bar will launch the browser's default page. But for some reason they stop updating.
Things I know
1. Restarting Apex launcher appears to reset the widgets. They start fully functioning again.
That's about it.
RIght now I"m trying to determine if JuiceDefender might have something to do with it. I don't think it would because I've used JD on my other phones with no issues... HOWEVER, none of my other phones have ever run ICS. I don't know. Maybe ICS is different. I know JD had issues working with Gingerbread for a while...
Anyone have any thoughts? Questions? Experience with this? It's a bit mystifying. NOw that I know restarting Apex launcher gets everything working again it's a lot less annoying than it was (rebooting every time was a pain) but I'd still like to figure out how to make it go away.
I had same problem with beautiful widgets. my task killer was my problem.it was to aggressive
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Same problem.
Have this problem both with Omega 7.0 rom and cyanogenmod.
Some widgets freezes after some minutes when phone is in standby mode.
Just by tilting the phone and let the window be landscape and then tilt it back again will activate the widget.
But it is annoying....
i had the same problem with widgets freezing; i uninstall go weather widget and go launcher and now it s fine again !!
edit: oops it came back...no freeze with Apex but it's still freezing with Tsf..
reedit: i found my problem: it was "clever contact widget "that froze the others widgets but only with TSF shell (not with Apex!!!)

i'm using a motorola atrix 2 with stock ics and this's happening to me also , it's not any app that's causing this problem , it's a bug in ics as to many .. searched gooogle .. no launcher can help , i tried nova prime and apex but same happens to both , but now i'm on stock blur again and it doesn't happen so frequently but still happens, they say that only google can help in this case , they have to give an update .. so we have to hopw that they'll give us one soon .. until then we have to restart the launcher
note- try an anlog clock on your home screen , or anlaog and digital both home screens in a one home screen , you might notice that digital clock freezes when the analog clock works fine , i don't know why but that's happening to me ..
This may be a dumb question, so apologies up front. I really like the calendar widget that comes with JB (and ICS) ROMs. In particular, I like the scrolling capability it has within the widget window for agenda view; you can scroll through about a week's worth of appointments without having to go to full screen agenda view. With GB ROMs, the calendar widget doesn't have that functionality; it just shows the next appointment in the window, and to see further out in the week (or even current day), you have to go full screen view.
Is there a way to get the JB calendar widget to work in a GB ROM? Maybe an apk that can be installed?
Thanks for any advice.
Unless you have the source, no
If you had the source, you could replace all the JB specific classes with classes that work with GB
But other than doing that backwards compatibility changing, you cant take an app made for something higher than GB and install it, you'll just get a parsing error because the API for JB supports functions that didnt exist when GB came out
You can use Android Pro Widgets (APW) it's free, it does what you want (on all versions of Android) and it's in the Play Store

Not bad! That's about as close as I'm gonna get. I also like the bookmark widget better in APW. Thanks!
