[Apps] Genie Widget and Launcher2 from Nexus One

---

Here are 2 apps that I love on my Nexus that also work on the Evo. Just install with an app like Astro from the SD card.

Download the Genie Widget here

Download the Launcher2 here

Launcher2 is already built into the EVO at launch.

so what is the genie widget?

The Genie Widget is the News & Weather application/widget that's originally for the nexus one. I really like it.

Download Home Switcher and you'll see Launcher2 is the other thing built into the EVO other than SenseUI

Or search google and find out how to disable sense UI then when you hit home it asks you which you'd like to use. But I'll point out that if he is pulling Launcher 2 from CM then it may do the 5 wide plus it had some fixes.

I too like the genie widget but is there ANY way to configure the way the widget looks? I'd really just like to make the background solid black and all the text white. Is this possible? Or make the background transparent and the text black. Either would be great.

My evo didn't come with genie widget. It did come with that news/rss reader that is very similar though. But I like the weather in genie widget a lot more because you are really only one click away from radar and can actually see details about the forecast from within the app. The one that comes with the clock kind of sucks. Just tells the highs and lows but with the genie widget weather you can see what time its going to start raining and stuff like that.
