Anybody know how to keep these when flashing a new CM9 nightly? The weather one can be installed like a regular apk since it doesn't replace a system app, but others that replace system apps cannot be and it looks like they get overwritten by the next rom flash. Do I have to place a copy of the apk somewhere else, I was thinking of trying /data/app since thats where updated system apps like Google Play updates go, while the older apk stays in /system.
Due to your same question, I actually made a folder in my download folder and called it Asus, I keep a copy of all of the ones I use in there so that when I do flash the nightly's or any updates, I can get back to the way I was setup in no time. Yes i do redo it every time manually (except the ones with signed apk's.)
Now I wish they had made a calendar app/widget that looked and worked the same as the rest of theirs, that would make my homescreen absolutely perfect.

You simply put them in the /system/app folder of the zip archive before flashing

For jpegs i use "HP Touchpad Wallpaper Applier" - I think its in the market. For apk - normal installation, asterwards select it under live wallpapers.

Thanks.
I got it working good on my CM9 TP as well as the Galaxy S WiFi Player 5.0 with CM9.
Weather widget was bit tricky on the GSP since it was not resized for the 5" screen of the player. I had to change the DPI to 120 temporarily to save the settings and go back to my 190 DPI setting. Other than that, everything works great.
I did post a link to this thread at the XDA GSP forum for anyone wanting to use these widgets on their players.
So thanks from me and anyone from the other forum that might end up using these widgets...

Turn your tablet to portrait instead of landscape and a save button will appear below the settings.

It doesn't show email counts from other email apps. For example you won't see an unread count for the Gmail and Yahoo apps. It'll show the total unread, from all accounts together, for anything that uses the Asus Mail app.
Make sure that you've replaced both the existing mail and exchange apps with the Asus versions, as well as adding the widget.
An easy way to be sure that they've been replaced and to "back them up" in one step is to rename the original apps by adding ".old" to the end. Confirm that the name changes stuck, then copy over the Asus replacements. You should then see two Mail and two Exchange, the originals ending in .old.
After copying them over, be sure to manually set the permissions identically to all the other files in that directory.
You will need to redo this after flashing a new ROM/Nightly.
Thanks!
Hi! I just want to thank everybody who helped in this thread. I flashed CM10 (stable nov. 13) on my Asus Transformer TF300T and, even though I'm very happy with the mod, I missed the Asus widgets. I looked for hours for ways to make them work before thumbling on this thread. I was able to install them and make them work on the first try using mistabelmont files and indications.
They're just very neat widgets, but it's small things like this that makes a tablet a great toy! Too bad the email widget doesn't work with gmail. Oh well, small price to pay.
BTW, I'm sure I'm not the only one looking to make them work on modded Asus tablets. This thread should be revived and moved to general!
Thanks again!

20Per request Im posting some Asus native widgets:
Notes:
For email to work, copy: Email.apk, EmailWidget.apk and Exchange.apk into system/app dir OVERWRITING exisiting files(backup exisiting apks if you wish). Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot. Widget will appear under 'Widgets' section.
For date/time and weather to work, copy: weather.resized.ics.apk and DeskClock.apk into system/app folder. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot. Widget will appear under 'Widgets' section.
For TaskManager to work, copy: taskmanager.apk into system/app folder. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Widget will appear under 'Widgets' section - no need to reboot for this one.
I have some more Asus native apps/widgets/wallpapers - if anyone wants let me know.63
Make sure you're in portrait mode. When you make the change and you will see the save button on the bottom.2here are a few more:
copy BatteryWidget.apk to your system/app folder, change permissions to rw-r-r, reboot.
Simply install dayscene apk2
