I've searched couple of days for a 100% transparent S4 AccuWeather widget for my ATT GN2 and the ones I found either did not work or was a mod from S3. None seem to work properly.
I finally found one that works flawlessly on another forum and thought it would be nice to let you guys know. The settings also come with birthday notification options:

That dropbox link is the link to download the zip file that you can use with TWRP.
The widget looks similar to the one found here (middle of the page): http://www.themobimag.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-accuweather-widget-launcher-cm10-1-download-apk/
Or like twanskys204 stated above, open the main thread and look in the thread for examples.
Note that installing this widget will over-write your existing widget. I'm running Jedi X with Perseus kernel.

I never enjoyed that widget because I cold never get it to go 100% transparent, but this looks nice. Though I still prefer my setup with the weatherbug widget and digital clock widget.

I flashed this with TWRP and do not have a widget to add. I didn't have Accuweather widget to start with; do I need it first? Thanks.
I put a 100% transparent one on this rom we did. You can download the Rom and pull it from system app

I'm guessing that you can only use this on TW based ROM. Let me in other wise.. Please..

Ok folks, this widget does not work with nova. But i found another one that does and it's free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid27.transparentclockweather

*** IN NO WAY DO I TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS WIDGET!!! TO MY KNOWLEDGE IT WAS CREATED IN THE I9100 FORUM SOMEWHERE AND HAS BEEN USED ALL OVER THE PLACE. WHOEVER DID CREATE IT IS MUCH SMARTER THAN ME.***
MAKE A BACKUP! CWM AND THE WIDGET! I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU MESS YOUR DEVICE UP!!!
Now, this is the accuweather widget but with a smoked transparent background. IV been using it for months on every different version of the sgs2. All you need to do is remove the widget from your home screen, with root explorer or es file explorer (free, what I use) go into system, app, and copy the original somewhere on your external SD for a backup. Go back into system, apps, and delete the file you just made a copy of, paste the new file in its place, enjoy. I take no responsibility if you mess up your device, make a nandroid backup in cwm before doing ANY mods to your device.

This looks great! Is there anyway you can make it so that when tapping the widget it opens the Clock/Alarm app? That's the only thing keeping me from using this widget.
How are you guys downloading it?

Anyone have the wallpapers for our phone? If we use these it asks us to resize it and it's not exactly the right resolution.

It doesn't ask for resizing. I am using these wallpapers. Just flash WallpaperChooser.zip. When you press and hold on the home screen, in the dialog you'll be able to see extra tab "Wallpapers SecWallPaperChooser". Click on that and select the wallpaper.
Anyone else getting bad lag during screen transitions when running these lwp?

Guys i installed go launcher and i like it very much
But yhe thing is it doesbt show up stock weather widget
When i turn off go launcher and use touchwiz the weather widget is there and in go launcher it doesnt show up
Pls help
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
This widget needs Touchwiz Framework and Touchwiz Launcher to work. That's the reason why it doesn't work on any other launcher.
This is common among devices with proprietory uis
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Sorry, but it does work on the SGS2 with Go Launcher. Are you sure we cant make it work on the SGS3?
Since you already use go launcher, why not try go weather ex from the market? I haven't used it myself, but it looks promising.

I know the feeling. Its a beautiful widget but it doesnt work on Go, Apex or Nova etc. I have tried. There may be a way but so far not broken.
Guys, I'm telling you I have it working on an S2. Here's the screen capture, you can see the widget above and the left-button Go Launcher menu at the bottom.
There's got to be a way to make it work on the S3.

What works on your s2 is irrelevant. Its most likely an updated version on your s3 with new code, probably specifically designed only to work with touchwiz. If it doesn't show up in go launcher then it doesn't work. Its as simple as that

That is old Accuweather widget, the new S3 version won't work with any others launcher at the moment.
Ok, so -for the moment- could someone post the S2 version of the widget apk? That would solve the problem, wouldn't it?

It depends. Did that widget work on other devices such as HTC? If yes, then yes. If no then maybe not.
Download a s2 touchwiz custom rom and extract the apk to find out

OP ask for S3 Accuweather widget not S2 Accuweather widget, both is different. S2 Accuweather widget is so ugly compare with this new S3 one.
I do hoping someone can make the S3 Accuweather working for launcher others than stock TouchWiz.
Fancy widgets is my preferred option even over beautiful widgets.
S3 widget is nicer, but I'd settle for the S2 one. For the moment.
Try "beautiful widgets" it's a highly customizable weather widget.
My favorite...
beautiful widget doesn,t have such beautiful accu weather,,, i am missing it on apex launcher, i hope someone will port

Ok, here's the S2 apk. It won't install on my S3. Bummer.
Try push it to system/app

I would need root for that, right?
---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------
It's already in system/app. How do I start it? If I tap the apk directly, it just tries to install itself.
Everyone who keeps naming all these launchers that are already known must not have seen the new widget on the s3. That widget is the sole purpose I'm keeping tw launcher for now, it's visually better than any other weather widget PERIOD. Praying someone modifies this to work on other launchers

I was using a transparent Genie Widget APK on ICS, but when I try iton JB, it does not show up in my widgets
Does anyone know of a 100% transparent genie widget for JB?
I am attaching the stock one in my ROM in case someone can use it to do a fast transparent one.
I made one a long time ago where the widget itself is tranblue if you would like?
just adding some options to the mix... two transparent options at the link below: one with stock weather images, one with the more realistic Sense weather images. enjoy.
