How to get the REAL Circles widget on OG RAZR

[FoxKat]

Nevermind, I did it all through root explorer and figured it out

So, did you get it working? ?>?

 

[Krenzy]

Yeah! I did three reboots and it still works...I'm excited!

 

[FoxKat]

Excellent!

Just for the heck of it, I installed these on my galaxy nexus to see if they would work. Everything worked except the circles. I followed Foxcat's instructions about copying the files into the /system/lib folder, rebooted and reinstalled the circles widget again and now it works on my galaxy nexus

Even the favorites widget works

I'm responding cause I'm seeing posts about delete this, move that. I'm on the JB leak from Christmas, have a RAZR maxx, stock and rooted. I'm using the RAZR M homescreen, circles widget, favorites, and weather apks. I downloaded them sometime back in October cause I used them for a bit with ICS so I don't remember exactly where I got them. Anyway, all I did was install them as regular apks, (find them in a folder I have on my sdcard, tap and install). I then used titanium backup to make the homescreen, circles widget, and weather system apps. Reboot and everything works fine. I didn't have to move the original homescreen config files or anything. My circles widget hasn't caused any problems whether it was a user app or a system app. I used it as a system app the last 2 days with no problems with 4 locations in it. I gotta believe those having problems either have bad downloads or aren't installing them right.

I believe that Titanium Backup is much easier.

I agree, but not everybody wants to spend money onTIBU.

Ok, seems I have everything working in regards to the Launcher, Circles and the Quick Settings menu....my issue is the original Moto Favorite Contacts Widget. The one that shows 1 line of Contacts until you pull down and then it will display 24 contacts listed as Favorites. For whatever reason, using this Launcher that Widget will only work as a 4x1 widget, non adjustable. Is there anyway to make this work, or can someone steer me to a Contacts Widget that will display all 20-24 Favorites with Images for Quick Contacts without me having to do each individually?

Covered this too in another post you need the favorites.apk for Razr M they are different launchers and the JB Razr isn't supported

No I am happy that we got a "Fool Proof" way to do this without having to make people spend money. Using TiBu eliminated the need to move lib files but as I said its about improving the Droid Environment.

Trying to see if I can put together a 1 click installed doing it from windows command prompt. If someone else thinks that they could do it faster by all means. I am trying to do all of this while working and taking care of a 2 month old
just to run batch install
change directory media drive/system/app
paste com.motorola.homescreen.apk
run media drive/system/app/com.motorola.homescreen.apk
cd/ data/app
paste circles3d.apk
paste weather.apk
run data/app/circles3d.apk
run data/app/weather.apk
cd/ system/lib
paste libnative_renderer.so
paster litexture_mem.so
send command>reboot terminal command
remove media drive

enjoy?

Maybe get Matt to put one together...

I believe I may be able to help with this... A good friend of mine and I worked together to do something similar for the boot animations, so it should be a similar process. Give me a day to see if I can summon his assistance. He's on this forum, and probably watching! ;-)

In quick settings, try toggling GPS off...

aha! OK, I used the power toggle widget to turn gps, wifi, etc on and off so I never had to do it in quick settings. old habits...

Thanks
