Erica,

Thank you for Widget.app. However I am unable to execute it or see it on Home Screen on iPhone 3g OS 2.2. Do you know if this is possible?

Thanks again.

You can Manually delete it from the /Applications directory.

Is there an easier way to delete the widget app - I have it on my launching board and can’t get rid of it! URGGGH!

and are missing.
(The entry starts with and ends with 62 lines below)

I hope this helps.

I had the same problem.

I fixed it by copying the Widget.app entry in the RemotePackages.plist file to the LocalPackages.plist file.

*** Danger, you could screw things up even worse if you don’t know what you are doing. ***

Download LocalPackages.plist and RemotePackages.plist from the “/var/root/Library/Installer” directory.

(Save a backup copy of both files)

Open the RemotePackages.plist file in a text editor.

Find “com.sadun.widget”
2 lines above that you will see “”.

Copy all of the text from that “” to the “” 62 lines down. (3 lines after the line that reads “/Applications/Widget.app”)

Now open the LocalPackages.plist file.

Find “”

Paste the copied text between “” and “” on the following line.

Then save the file and upload it back to the same directory.

If you just want to uninstall that app, then all you should need to do is reboot the iPhone/iPod and uninstall it.

(Incidentally, I chose not to uninstall it, and fixed it. I don’t know how well it worked under 1.0.2, but it works fine for me on 1.1.1. Of course not all widgets work, but the ones that I use work great. *Thanks Erica :-)* )

I downloaded this program but it won’t work, how do I delete it, because it wont show up in the ‘Uninstallers’ list?
If you can give me a hand PLEASE do, or this is the message that shows up when I try to download and install, it downloads fine but when I try to install it it somes up ‘Error: Main script execution failed’.

Thanks,
C
