First, I know this is my first post. I've searched for answers the past hour all over this site and the internet but can't find anything. I successfully rooted and put CM10.1, nightly 12/27. I chose that one since I saw many comments saying that they are having the least issue with that one. Here are some problems I'm having:
1. Google Now is not working. I installed GAPPS twice to make sure it didn't mess up the first time but still no luck. When I hit the microphone icon, I get an error that says "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped". It disappears real quick.
2. I think I may not have all options available in my lock screen settings. After reading up online on what you can do, many people are able to add things like weather, news, etc in their lock screen. All I see when I go into the settings is Screen security, Battery status, Slider shortcuts, and Button actions.
I'd appreciate anyone's help.
Google now works fine for me. On the lock screen swipe down on your clock widget and you can swipe left and right to add more pages and widgets

I'm only seeing 4 available widgets...calendar, digital clock, gmail and messaging. I have a lot more than that on the phone.
As for the Google Now, if that doesn't work, could that be a problem with the nightly update that I used?
I'm using the illusion rom and the gapps linked in the op and it works. You can't put all widgets on the lock screen. Apw and beautiful widgets is what I'm using

Just uninstall Google search and reinstall it from the play store.

About the widgets, you can only add the widgets that are designed for the lockscreen. You need to mod the guts of the ROM to allow regular widgets to be placed on the lock screen.

I couldn't uninstall Google search but I updated ur and it started working. I don't know why I didn't even think of that. Thanks a lot.
As for the widget...so which one did bfranklin a few posts back use? When searching for widgets I wasn't able to find out whether they can be used for lock screens or not so I'd like to try one that works.
I noticed just 1 more issue. I set led notifications for my texts. The problem is that when I get texts, the led works but as soon as my display goes out the led stops flashing.
If anybody has a noob guide for modded roms please let me know Lol. I came from an old blackberry to an android so imagine.
The weather/clock widget on my lockscreen says "Weather Unavailable" ! I found it, that if I turn of my location settings, the weather will show up again, but I do not want it to stay on all the time, so what I did is I went to the weather options and added manually my city, hoping that it will no longer be necessary to leave location service on all the time, but NO, that didn't happen, it still says "Weather Unavailable" !
What am I missing ? With any other weather app I seam to be able to add the city manually and not to worry bout the location setting to be on constantly, so is there a way to do the same with HTC's weather widget ?
Thanks

I have no problem finding my city, it is immediately detected by the app, also I am getting the weather info inside the weather app itself, but on the lockscreen widget it just shows "WEATHER UNAVAILABLE"
At first I though that I probably "hibernated" something from Greenify, responsible for updating the weather info, but no! there is nothing that is remotely related to weather widget

Nope even then I had problems but it works now...it has to do with greenify if you greenify even one time only something minimal related to it it will break it even after reboot...only reflashing seems to help

Yes I can confirm, it works on ether of those settings ( high accuracy or battery saving). But the location setting is just to determine the location, that's it. After that a mobile data or wifi is required to get the weather info for that area (previously determined by the location service), but I have already added the location manually in to the weather app, but yet it still requires to have the location service On, constantly
The digital clock has disappeared from the lockscreen of my Zenfone 2. I think it happened after the latest firmware update. The weather symbol is still there but no time. Can't find a setting anywhere for lockscreen clock and it doesn't seem to be connected with the What'sNext app.
Can anyone help please?
Update: failed to solve the problem...but clock now back with a restore.
Go to Apps and on top of screen you will see widgets. There are several clock widgets you can select.

Thanks for the reply but I don't think they are lockscreen widgets...just homescreen ones.
Also while you're here...any idea when a Lollipop 5.1 update is coming out! We need better battery life. Great phone apart from that.

Hello.
Same clock problem here.
Any idea of how have it on lockscreen?
Thanks.

The only way I could gat my lock screen back was with a phone reset.

Same issue here when I used TiBu to freeze a bunch of stuff I ended up enabling the weather app again and rebooting then it came back. I can't say conclusively that the weather app made it come back because I would restore apps in batches of 3-5 to see if it would work. Did you uninstall anything or freeze any installed apps?
i deleted the asus cover app while messing with the bloatware, can anyone upload a backup here along with the setupwizard apk

Hello.
I've uninstalled the most of google apps (drive, hangout, books...) but noone of the asus ones.
A probably silly question: if I make a phone reset, do I have those app I've uninstelled back or I only unroot the phone?
Thanks again!

Did you change any other settings? Gapps won't affect the lock screen so there a no need to do a factory reset. I'll look into it and see if I can narrow the issue down
Thanks.
I've only flashed system.img with Z008 WW 2.15.40.13 for rooting it and uninstalled those apps.
The latest firmware did that for me, is like a widget size change for lockscreen or something in the like, the click is there, when you boot your phone you can see it but when the weather loads is gone, like if the widget is shifted left. Think we need to wait for next update to get that corrected.
This happened to me too after freezing WEATHER. Enabling it back aolved the problem.
I can confirm that freezing weather was the cause of my lockscreen clock going away.
Hmmm.. I actually didn't freeze the weather. It's still on and going..,
But I've noticed a (maybe) strange thing.. in App notification I've tried blocking Live Weather, but then it was still on the lock screen.. I would have expected it to disappear from there, but maybe I'm just wrong...
Anyway, I've installed CM Locker cause clock on lockscreen is very useful.. the bad thing is that now with CM Locker I miss ZenMotion shortcuts (opening apps drawning letters on the lock screen)..
Uffffff....
Even with the latest update, still nothing, the only change was that now the weather widget is centered but no clock still, any ideas? I miss my clock.

Restoring the weater app which I had frozen did the trick. I wouldn't have figured out where that was hidden without this thread. Thanks!
Sorry for the stupid question, how do you purple freeze stuff? Are you rooted? Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I never thought weather app has something to do with clock on lockscreen.
Unfreeze weather and reboot worked like a charm.
zenfone 2 lock screen vanishes
Hi,
Any updates regarding the lock screen clock issue jn zenfone 2. I have tried all the possible options except a restore. Is there any solution for this problem. Pls help if u have overcome this problem.
Thanks in advance.
I tried it. Its because you have probably disabled weather app. Enable it & reboot your device and boom your clock(time) is back.
Hi, I've noticed that my HD widgets weather widget takes ages to update and display anything after a reboot...roughly 3-5 mins..... On my S9 plus it is there almost instantly after a reboot.... so wondering if others are having this same issue ? Or is it something unique to me ?
This isn't a showstopper by any means...just annoying...hoping that there is someone out there who can resolve this for me.
Cheers
I've only got three widgets of theirs I am using, but the phone constantly warns me a about high battery usage. For God's sake it's not even animated and just shows a clock and the weather forecast.
Anybody run into this?

Try changing the clock skin or any skin u are using.
I use the clock with transparent clock theme transparent background and have no issues.

My battery usage for Beautiful Widgets is 0.3% with 11min active and on for 6hrs 59min.
I use Ace Black Chrome for the clock face and Sence Chrome for the weather Icons. Update weather is set at screen turn on or every 2 hours.
I'll admit, I have been asleep for the last few hours but that doesn't seem high to me.
How often does your weather update as this would be, to my mind (apart from the weather animations and background which are off) the highest hog of battery on my setup.
My signal strength is also good which may affect things too...

Thanks but the app hasn't been updated since 2016. I looked around the app store for about an hour last night and couldn't find anything I liked as much. Do you ever get warnings about Beautiful Widgets using excessive battery? I am on the fence but I may go back to it and try tweaking things more... But still want to keep hunting in the app store first... Would rather not use software from 2016 that is on a device I use so heavily that costed me upwards of $1,500... (10+ 512GB 5G)...

Zooper has also been abandoned.
Try KWGT.
(Beautiful Widgets also gave me excessive battery drain, but have no problem with KWGT.)

Haven't ever gotten warnings about excessive power usage with beautiful widgets and I've used on all my phones for as long as I can remember...
No problems here...
Just checked again, phones has been on ALL night as I worked backshift and Beautiful Widgets isn't even listed on the battery usage list AT ALL... Phones been on for 10h 36m with 64% battery left, screen on time was 3h 59m.
Battery usage isn't optimised for BW so can't tell you why yours seems to eat up battery...
KWGT is a good way to go. A bit of a learning curve so I suggest watching some youtube videos but once you understand how it works you'll very easily be making some seriously customized home screens. I loved it so much I went ahead and paid for the Pro version after just using it for 30 min.
I had the same thing. The app by default is in the optimizing list of applications for battery savings. To disregard the notifier, in the optimization list, tell the.phone not to try and optimize Beautiful Widgets.
What's going on here is that the phone is putting the app to sleep to save battery, but every now and then, the app wakes up and attempts to update any conditions like weather. The phone doesn't like that it's doing it on its own and thinks it some kind of rogue app, so it warns you.
The Widgets themselves do not drain battery. I have been using this since "Jellybean".
I decided to re-"tweak" Beautiful Widgets and give it a try. Seems to have done the trick, using almost no power at all.
But, I have another problem now - and a very odd one too. The widgets have a display showing the next alarm. It is off by 5 minutes. Meaning, if I set the next alarm for 6 a.m. the widget shows that the alarm is set to go off at 5:55 a.m. but if I set the alarm for 7 a.m. it shows that the alarm is set for 6:55 a.m, and so on. It is always off by 5 minutes. The alarm works well & rings when it should but the widget always shows the alarm is set five minutes before it's actually set.
I did some digging and other people have experienced this problem on Android pie with Samsung phones for any widgets you install that show the time of the next alarm. People have discovered that other applications on the same phone sometimes cause this if they both use the clock. But I have no way of telling which application. Has anybody run into this or heard of this? Wiping the dalvik cache, wiping the cache for beautiful widgets, reinstalling the application blah blah blah all that stuff doesn't make any difference. WTF?

I may have some info here. I saw a note posted by a dev who has a similar app.
He/she stated that newer versions of android changed the api for system clock access and anyone who has widgets needs to update their code.
Not sure if it applies to this situation, but seeing you're referring to the clock/alarms and it's an older app..... It might.
