[Confirmed] Widgets Seem to Work Fine Over Here on my S7? (ADW Launcher)

[elf310]

Real easy setup, finally got rid of the ugly home screen and have adw running, now we just need to get rid of the ugly status bar on top

Thanks for this, I am using the same ROM and I can place all IDEOS widgets.
Probably because I check all permissions in root explorer

As tested on 'New' Singapore ROM S7V100R001C62B011
ADW Launcher Free

Couldn't place Ideos Weather on, but my widgets seem okay?

ASI, Calendar, GenieWidget, Clock, and EliotStocker Music widget

To fix, get http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828 to be placed to /system/app

If you don't have root explorer and prefer ADB, grab ADB drivers from Huawei.
Then grab SuperOneClick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Do shell root

This makes adb pushing easy.

adb remount
adb push AppWidgetPicker.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/AppWidgetPicker.apk

(having renamed the apk)

Haven't tried other launchers yet, but should work just fine.

I tried copying the APK using Droid Explorer and my S7 won't let me move the APK file to /system/app. Keep telling me copy failed. I also tried moving it using ES File Explorer on the S7 and it still fails. This is after I renamed the file according to the instructions. Any ideas?

 

[lemmyslender]

/system is mounted read-only by default, it needs to be remounted read/write

I used:

su (to get root)

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system (to remount the filesystem)

in the command window in DroidExplorer. You should be able to copy the file after this command.

remember to Mount r/w to be able to transfer file to system/app
