Hi all
This is the guide to port LG weather widget found in optimus black to all roms like cm7

Requirements-
*A nice working rooted mobile phone
*A working PC with java installed
*apktool-[Simple guide by PulseDroid]

Note :This Guide is only for android 2.3 because many people having errors on android 4.0+. Sorry I have no workthrough :( . Try this widget ;). It's the widget from LG UI 3.0.

Procedure-
*Extract framework.jar from /system/framework/ through any root file manager.
*Decompile it through apktool, a newly created framework.jar.out will be there.
Code: 
apktool d framework.jar
*Download LG smali.zip from attachment and extract it
*Copy "lge" from com folder of LG smali and paste it in framework.jar.out/smali/com ( in apktool folder )
It must be like this "framework.jar.out/smali/com/lge"
*Compile framework.jar.out
Code: 
apktool b framework.jar.out
*Push the newly compiled framework.jar from apktool/framework.jar.out/dist into your phone's /system/framework directory
*Reboot your phone.Don't worry it will take time to reboot.
*Lastly Download the widget from here and install as regular app

Hi devilex94. Thank you for post on the other thread about the solution to my problem, but after read your guide I got really confused :D.
I don't know how to use apktool (already looked on XDA and Google but nothing is easy to understand). Went to cmd but it says that the path isn't right (grrr)...
I believe this really helps who understands programming but I don't know how to change frameworks :-/ already root my device, already extracted framework.jar from system... but after that I got stuck :(

in the first command he forgot an "r" : framewok instead of framework.

your problem is that you need to cd to the directory of apktools. If the apktools is in C drive , the command is cd C:\apktools or any folder that is it in. if you have it in a series of folders it should be cd C:\your path to apktools and then do this tut.

framework.jar.out

When I decompile framework.jar, I only get apktool.yml in the out folder. There are no directories like smali. Do I need to create those and then copy the LGsmali?

Did you followed the apktool guide properly?
It seems that you didn't followed the apktool guide properly
EDIT: Check if you have installed the proper framework files
and I think that you are using a already themed rom
hence you getting the errors.

Nice job! I always loved widgets even though they drain the battery just a bit more.
Thanks for the post
