[Q] News and Weather app in Jugg 4.1

Can't yet post in the dev forums so I'm asking here.
Since flashing Juggernaught 4.1 I've lost my news and weather app. Does anyone know how this might have happened? Or have an apk or zip so I can add it back? Thanks

I still have it on my Juggernaut 4.1 phone, if you're talking about the News and Weather Widget. I just touch the screen, select widgets and it's there.
If you're sure it's not on your phone, then the ROM team include an app called Bloater which allows you to reinstall any of the bloatware apps that have been removed. Run it, select T-Mobile SGS2, then select Samsung Apps, and scroll down to the [Widget]News item. If it shows a button that says Install, then click it and install it. If not, then it's already installed.
Good Luck..

Thanks, but that's not the one that's missing for me.
I'm talking about the one that the icon looks like a newspaper. When you launch it gives you the weather with an hourly slider, and when you scroll to the right you get news. Any thoughts?

both of you are talking about the same App
if you lost it or deleted it by accident, you can always pull it from a stock ROM
just download any of the STOCK rom from Dev section, and copy and paste it from there

They are in fact different. The news widget in bloater is the AP news widget. The app is like I described previously. Using bloater to add back the widget does not reinstall the app. I haven't deleted anything, so I'm not sure why it disappeared when I flashed jugg 4.1, but I will try to add it from stock when I get home later.

Facebook not in apps list

Just upgraded to a new sprint gs3. Went to add facebook to accounts and checked the play store first, it says facebook is installed. Cool, but I'm not sure if that came from Sprint or from the automatic app download that happens when you add an existing account. Any way, all is cool, except the fact that facebook doesn't show up in the list of apps so I can put a shortcut on a home screen.
Has anyone else seen this? Am I missing something? In the store, there's an option to uninstall, so I guess I could uninstall/reinstall, but I'd kind of like to understand what's going on before doing that.
Any ideas?

Problem solved. I was expecting the apps to be in alphabetical order in the app drawer and they aren't (facebook was on the last page). Sorry for the silly question.

When in the app drawer hit the menu button / view type then select alphabetical order

thanks - I remembered that about a half second after I realized the drawer wasn't in alphabetical order. Appreciate you going to the trouble to post the screen shot though!

Faceook Home pre-relase leak

Just read this article on android guys. There pre-release version of facebook home is available now.
Step 1. Uninstall Facebook and Facebook messenger if they are already installed. This is required coz the leaked build is running on test keys rather than release keys.
Step 2. Download 3 APKs:
Install all 3 APKs in no particular sequence using any File manager.
Step 3. Press home button and default to fAcebook Home launcher. You’ll be required to sign-in the first time.
Please be patient while Facebook loads your stream and photos during first launch.
Recommended: You can tinker with settings and play with options like making the Notification bar visible at all times or not. Even when its hidden, a downward gesture from top of the screen brings notification panel down.
EDIT: Other two files are too big to attach here

it seems FB blocked the this leaked app, it can't stream anymore, just black background.

Downloaded and installed, isn't working for me either. I get a black screen and the words:
"Find me on the builds page"

Facebook blocked the app server side. I'm afraid you can't use it anymore.

(I'm reading Google Now is crashing unless you extract this file and put it in your /system/lib/). There's also a weirder solution posted on the internet: Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.
I'd hold off on the OTA to update Search...then again...I don't use it.

What is the workaround?
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

My experience...
Copy all files into "/system/app" and set permissions to rw-r-r-.
Android 4.4 Launcher (GoogleHome.apk) (Works great! Butter smooth, nice change in functionality.) Requires Google Now (Velvet.apk) and Google Play Services (PrebuiltGmsCore.apk)
Calendar (v201308021) (Works great!)
Clock (v3.0.0) (Works great!)
Email (v6.0-893803) (I don't use, didn't try.)
Gallery (v1.1.40304) (Works, but force closes when trying to edit a photo.)
Gmail (v4.6.1) (Works great!)
Camera (v2.0.001) (Works great! Limited to 1080p video recording on Snapdragon Note 3's. 4K is not an option.)
Hangouts (v2.0.012) (Works great w/ new SMS messaging capabilities. In that regard, it can replace the stock messaging app. However, MMS's (pic messages to phone numbers) freezes the app, requiring you to clear its cache and data to get it working again. Sending the same picture to a standard Hangout recipient without a phone number, it functions without issues.)
Keep (v2.0.50) (Works great!)
Google Keyboard (v2.0.19003.893803a) (Would not work. Selected it through Android's Input Changer. While the space for the keyboard was reserved (blank white spot), the keyboard itself never displayed.)
Wallpapers (Available in both gallery apps upon copying to device's storage. Redundant, as they were already available to select as wallpapers with the KitKat launcher.)
Initially, Google Search kept crashing, even after trying the languages trick. Using the lib file recommended by @docnok63 worked perfectly. Saying, "Ok Google" from the any of your Homescreens or Google Now activates voice search. All search queries performed were successful and crash free.
(Rename the original to libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so.bak before copying.)
libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so (Tested, confirmed working! ) Copy the file into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-.
(Rename the original to libvideochat_jni.so.bak before copying.)
libvideochat_jni.so (Fixes video chat issues in the Hangout app. Tested, verified working.) Copy the file into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-. Thanks @NeoMagus
Photosphere_Fix.rar (Google Camera Photosphere FC Fix) Extract winrar archive and copy the files into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-.

Ok, so explain this one...
When using the Kit Kat Home Launcher... You can't change the DPI of your system, or you will constantly have the keyboard popup when you hit the home button and it goes back to the home screen..
Why is this?

For anyone having problems with search force closing. The easiest solution:
- go into your PHONE settings, (app drawer > settings. NOT Google launcher settings)
- go to language & input
- change default language to different language (I chose Spanish)
- click home
- in the Google search bar, PRESS THE MIC and do a search USING YOUR VOICE (do not type)
- after search is complete, go home again, and go into settings again (if you chose to change to Spanish, settings got renamed to Config in your app drawer).
- go to language & input
- change default language back to Englis
- "Ok Google" won't show up in the Google search bar, but saying it still works.

The two additional apps can be found by following the OP's first link. They've always been there.

Google search works great for me when searching, but saying ok Google or Google never works when trying from any home screen. Only works when I have Google now already open.

You guys may have already done this, but not knowing how experienced you are, I'll ask anyway...
Are you using Android 4.4 Launcher (GoogleHome.apk) specifically with Google Now (Velvet.apk) and Google Play Services (PrebuiltGmsCore.apk) to ensure everything functions properly? I also manually copied each file into "/system/app" and set the permissions to rw-r-r-.
Did you copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-?
Note: The newest Google Play Services or Google Search (Google Now "Velvet.apk") updated from the market under JellyBean did not work properly for me. This is even after I copied the updated files from "/data/app", renamed them to their correct titles, and moved them into "/system/app". I had to use the KitKat specific files from the links provided above.
"Ok Google", only works with "English (US)" language for me. I tried "English (Canada)" as well as "English (UK)", and each time the mic in the search bar was hollow. It's not until I switch back to English (US) that the mic becomes solid. Also, while navigating to "Settings/Voice", I noticed that "Hotword detection" is only available by choosing English (US), which is the main setting that allows the app and device to listen for the phrase.

Nice write up. I got the new keyboard to work with both my N3 and my girl's S4 (although,oddly, there's less emojis on her S4 for some reason). Make sure after you install the .apk that you enable it in Settings\Languages and Input (it will be unchecked by default.) It appears as Google Keyboard - English (US).

It's built for another device with a different version of Android. Don't EXPECT everything to work flawlessly. You can look over this thread for troubleshooting help.

Question Widgets causing pixel launcher to crash

Since updating to the June build the pixel launcher crashes every time I press on a widget. I've tried deleting the widget and readding it and clearing the cache in pixel launcher. I haven't cleared data yet because I think that will lose all of my home screen setup. Is anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?

Updates/upgrades can and do break things.
Try -if- possible updating the app.
No easy fix if the app is no longer compatible with the firmware though and hasn't been updated.
Try clearing the data, reinstalling said apps.
Or simply don't use them for the time being.
If another app like Google play Services is used by the problem widget, dependencies, clear it's data.
A factory reset may solve the issue but don't count on it...
My stock N10+ firmware hasn't been updated in 2.5 years, current load is 2 yo, still fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Security is not an issue. However resolving app updates issues has cost me more wasted time then anything else. All were resolved without a factory reset... easier said than done
Google makes changes for the sake of change alone. All too often not in the end users best interests. Just because you're busy doesn't mean your productive... Gookill.

I just temporarily switched from Nova Launcher Prime to the Pixel Launcher on the June update and clicked on the At a Glance widget, and it loaded the weather fine.
I hope you find an easy solution.
Using any Magisk Modules? If so, disable them, reboot, and try again.

I'll give that a shot. Widgets that open an app work fine but the ones that do an action like pressing play on my Audible widget cause it to crash. I only have some basic magisk modules but I will try disabling them and see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not rooted or nothing and just applied clock wiget to pixel launcher nland opened it worked fine for me no crash must be a magic mod that's efecting you

I confirm here that this is indeed a problem with the new June security patch.
Here are some widgets I found that have this problem (crashes Pixel Launcher when tapped)
1. Galaxy Buds Manager
2. Habits (blue reload icon) with it's checkbox widget (you must create a habit and select it to reproduce)
3. All Google Fit widgets
In fact most widgets I tried worked, but there are those which crashes every single time you tap on it.
Not sure what is going on.

Maybe try the Habit app too, I have confirmed with another person and it does crash.
Have to create a habit and then add it to the home screen.

You have to create one first in the app and then add the widget

Ok ill give it another go

As can see no crash for me

Uh couldn't upload so done this way no crash for me

I can open the app with any widget but it crashes when the widget has to do something. For example my audible widget will open the app but clicking the play button causes a crash. The same thing happens with Google calendar and my Authy widget.

Sometimes or even often if a simple copy/paste of an image to a post doesn't work, you can download your image to a file, click the Insert image button in the post, click where it says click here, add the image as an attachment, then from the successful attachment you can choose whether to insert the full image or a thumbnail into the post. This works for me almost all the time that pasting directly into the post fails.
So, sounding like the widget problem is with the Pixel Launcher.

Thank you I was using mobile and didn't see the insert or attach file

hi, any solution for this? other than installing other launcher
this is the crash log that i received
