Guest izmar Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Installed, but looks like nothings changed. Weather and news widget is just the same old the weather and news widget... Restarting now. Will post if it works.
Guest deeone Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 That didn't work do you know what files need to be change to port the apps? Nope sorry ;)
Guest khtse Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 The app seems to be UK based? I live the the US, and the weather widget is displaying the weather of my location correctly, but all the "top stories" are UK's top stories and the news sources are mainly UK sources.... Is there anyway to change the news sources to the US or any other countries?

Guest khtse Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) I live in the US and it shows my current weather and US stories I found out that it has to do with locale setting. I am using Modaco 3.1, which does not have Enlish (US), and I chose the nearest locale English (UK) and thus I am getting all UK related news. If I select English (Russia)... it doesn't give me Russian news, it gives me US news! Weird! How do I install English (US) locale onto my phone? Although I am able to get US news with English (Russian), I don't want to confuse other apps that read the locale of my phone. EDIT: Problem solved! "More Locale 2" on the market does the job.

Guest subhramani Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 Works well! Thanks a lot for sharing.
Guest llaumgui Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 According aTrackDog, there is a 1.2.x version.
Guest DocUHT Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 It almost works on my Galaxy. After many tests, I've noticed some odd behaviour : The app launch correctly until I set a custom location (or enable wireless/gps positioning). If I do so, the app force close at launch. After setting the location, both weather et news widgets work correctly, even if the app force close. Hope it could be usefull for devs :-).
Guest stefh Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 This is great :D Love it :D I think the "low quality" background has to do with Android 1.5 only supporting 65000 colors I believe. 2.x supports 256k or even 16.7m I believe. Something like that :lol: Question though, I am from Holland and always have my gadgets on English as translations are really awful often. But when I am on English (Netherlands) the news and weather widget shows the UK news. Only when I switch my locale to Dutch (Netherlands) I get the Dutch news. Is it possible to force this and switch my phone language back to English? I know when you keep the widget and change the language back to English it stays Dutch, but after a reboot it doesn't remember this.
Guest llvllaster Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Hi guys, i just found this online, tried out and it works! Finally we can have geniewidget on 1.5! Let me know if you got problem installing or running this, everything went fine on modaco 3.0! geniewidget_port1.5.rar thx for share.. :D
Guest iLoveAndroid Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 According aTrackDog, there is a 1.2.x version. How would you update the app
Guest deeone Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 How would you update the app You can't right now, because is an unofficial porting of a 2.1 application. I don't know if there is really an update because atrackdog sometime goes mad and gives false positives. If someone find an update for this app quicker then me, please let me know so i will update the app in the first post too :(
Guest supestw Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 cool it works on my Hero (with MrBang custom rom 1.7) does anybody know if the deskclock widget is also avalaible for 1.5?
Guest Dr. dre Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 cool it works on my Hero (with MrBang custom rom 1.7) does anybody know if the deskclock widget is also avalaible for 1.5? Just have a look at the market.
