Express news has the news ticker I think you are looking for Logged SikYou Eris Enthusiast Mogul Karma 89 Offline Posts: 1338 Re: News widget on Eris 2.1 « Reply #2 on: May 18, 2010, 11:38:10 AM » The widget you are referring to is called the Genie widget.  I have the file on my computer, I'll post it here for you later or you should be able to find it via Google.

Just hold the phone up in front of it like you would to scan a UPC. Once its recognizes it you will get a message to download the .apk It's actually a really  and easy process.
