[HELP/ADVICE] REMOVING A WIDGET FROM APP (SETTINGS.APK)

[Guest tillaz]

ok, so i need to remove the power control widget thats provided from the settings.apk

i have tried removing this from the AndroidManifest.xml

<receiver android:label="@string/gadget_title" android:name=".widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider">

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />

                <action android:name="android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED" />

                <action android:name="android.net.conn.BACKGROUND_DATA_SETTING_CHANGED" />

                <action android:name="android.bluetooth.adapter.action.STATE_CHANGED" />

                <action android:name="android.location.PROVIDERS_CHANGED" />

                <action android:name="com.android.sync.SYNC_CONN_STATUS_CHANGED" />

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.ANY_DATA_STATE" />

                <action android:name="updateSettingsWidget" />

            </intent-filter>

            <meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider" android:resource="@xml/appwidget_info" />

        </receiver>[/xml]

   		

[b]and it looked like it had worked when i flashed it via .zip, but when i add the settings.apk to the rom and do a clean install settings is gone and fails to launch/open[/b]

Silly question maybe. But did you also remove the resources( e.g drawables)?

In eclipse, if you remove the obvious parts of it, the code associated to them will be flagged as having a problem. Telling you exactly where it is lol. Sorry for my poor attempt at helping.

What rom is this on and what key are you signing it with?
