For some reason the "search" function is missing from this forum right now?
I'm looking for the stock weather widget that has been in most all Samsung Galaxy phones lately.
It wasn't on my stock SIII for some reason. Well it was installed but just "not there".
And it's not on the custom ROM I just flashed either.
Really, really like this weather widget.
I have a super old APK but would prefer a more recent one with the newer updates.
Thanks!
I am also interested in this too. I don't like stock Weather widget that came with Galaxy SIII. I like the one that is on Galaxy SII and Galaxy Note where it shows you current weather condition plus forecast for next 4 days. I don't know why Samsung got rid of it on Galaxy SIII.

Try downloading a custom TWiz ROM or the stock one and pulling the APK. Push it to your system apps and reboot. I hope that works for you

I had trouble figuring out how to pull an apk from the tar.md5 stock ROM.
But I ended up having to restore to the original ROM via odin.
So I took the opportunity to root & do a titanium backup of the Accuweather app.
I then extracted the .apk.gz and copied the .apk to /data/apps, but the Accuweather app doesn't come up in my installed programs or widgets list.
Also tried installing directly from the .apk but it said it could not install.
Here you go: http://cl.ly/292X2A283Y3a410y3Q35
Just extract to /system/apps and verify permissions.

If you're on the stock odexed from, you'll need the .odex files. I believe you also need both .apk files, accuweather and also accuweather_main.
I'm on DietICS.
My stock ROM had Accuweather working.
Couldn't manage to get it from that ROM to DietICS though.
Whether by TitaniumBackup or from copying the three .apk's from /system/app of stock ROM to /system/app of DietICS.

Is it possible to install apk's from the Galaxy S line on to the Evo? I really like the AccuWeather clock widget. I found a copy of the apk but when I go to install it doesn't work. Is that because it only works on Samsung phones? If anyone knows how to get this app to work Please let me know.

It "may" not work because it needs framework from the samsung software?
So i pulled the apk from data/app.
Replaced the icon inside like usual
Put it back to data/app. And it goes missing from the app drawer.
Tried putting it in system/app, and it says Handcent has stopped working.
Something im missing?
Non system apps have to installed, not just pushed. Delete your old one first our you'll get a parse error.

So grab the apk, change the icons, uninstall handcent, push hte apk, INSTALL that new apk from data/app?
Yep. if all your doing is changing icons, why not use nova launcher and do it with no hassles?

I figured id lose some kind of core ics functionality changing to a third party launcher.
Cant get this **** to work at all....
copied the com.handcent....apk file to my pc. Changed the icon.
uninstalled handcent from my phone
Transferred over the com.handcent....apk from pc to /data/app
Ran the apk and installed it, says Application not installed when i try to install it.
Upload the icon and the apk file. I'll help if you like.

Thank you, heres the two icons i want thrown in, theyre both in the drawable-hdpi folder. Thanks. Ones the main icon for the apk. The icon_pink is to overwrite the pink notification choice u can choice as a icon in the app settings.
Does nova change the app drawer icons? If so,how?
I thought it could only change home screen icons

Nova doesn't do app drawer icons, only homescreen. They do keep even after an update though. For OP, there is something odd about this app. Even just decompiling/recompiling with no changes, and the app closes immediately after startup. No errors or anything, and logcat returns no errors. My only advice is to use Nova Launcher- you will not lose one bit of functionaloty or appearance (exactly like stock) and will gain a ton of features.

Has anyone ever got the Accuweather app from the Galaxy S2 running on a nexus?
I have downlaoded several APK's and each time it fails to install.

It probably won't ever work, unless someone finds a way to port it. This is highly unlikely though, considering that widget is tied to samsung's touchwiz framework. It won't ever work on any aosp roms unfortunately. I would of killed to have that back again after parting from my GS2 when moving to the nexus.
I asked about that widget a while ago, it is so sick. Too bad there is no way of porting it.

Does anybody have the transparent widget that works with the ics update. I miss that... The blue color widget is horrible but the functionality is cool

here is the .apk for the semi-transparent weather widget. It's made to match the digital clock. i been using this with the stock rooted ics rom. i would show a screenshot but the i'm having trouble capturing a screenshot on a stock rom. amazing how i took that feature for granted when i had the option available in the advanced power menu in other roms.
just make sure to set the permissions to rw-,r--,r--
Almost forgot... this might go without saying for some.. but this gotta be pushed using root explorer. Don't try to install normally
my first ever custom apk... hope it works out for all
Would you happen to have the calendar version in semi-transparent ?

what i did was use root uninstaller app to remove the older one. there are 2 accuweather apps remove the one that is bigger in size. then use root explorer to drop the app in the system/app folder. reboot your phone and the app should be installed perfectly.
now simply add the new widget.:good:
When i got my AT&T Galaxy S3, it had ICS on it as well as the stock AccuWeather.com weather widget.
With Liquidsmooth, that wisget is gone and not available on Google Play.
Is there any other way or method to get that back?? I know there are alternatives to the weather widgets out there, but I really liked the abality to scroll thru several cities quickly directly on the widget.
Maybe there is a widget with the same functionality??
I really want that widget back...
Any suggestions??

enable unknown sources on secuirity of your phone then drop it to your storage then open the apk and it shud install right there.
I got the Easy Installer app and used it to install the widget. I found three different AccuWeather APK files that I put on my internal phone SD card and tried to install them.
I get the error: X App not installed
Am I doing something wrong?!
Here download and flash this and you'll have it back

I dont mean to ask a stupid question, but how do I install this .zip file ??
Do I just go into CWM and install the zip file from the SD card?

Yup. Just flash in CWM or TWRP what ever one you use

I flashed it using CWM installed it. It looks just like the stock one. But i cant get it to add several cities and scroll those cities on the widget.
Anybody have any luck doing that with this widget?
