When i shut my phone off and turn it back on it will get to the widget locker lock screen like it should but once i slide to unlock there will be no icons on my screen? I have root and am using widgetlockers home helper thing it also did this using lancher pro.
I usually have to turn the phone on and off a few times before the icons will show after unlock.
Any ideas?
Maybe you should set it to default when it asks which one you want to use..
Or I haven't understood your problem

I would ask in the widget locker and go launcher help thread in the main android app section. I use both in conjunction and have had zero issues but I know the last go update was fixing some icon issues so make sure you update.
Also more info could be helpful. Such as what rom, kernel, etc
go lancher is set as the default. It's once you unlock from the lock screen there will be no icons.
I'm using the stock ROM rooted KE7 2.3.3

Are you using the integrated icon switching or are you using desktop Visualizer?

I'm not sure what you mean? I really haven't did anything but set go lancher as the default lancher and in widget locker i had to set it to use WL HomeHelper (optional) if i don't you can double press the home button and bypass the screen lock.
It's random when the icons don't come up after a unlock.

Are you using custom icons? If not, or even if so bring it up to the go dev team. Definitely looks to be something on their end. Have to tried to replicate it without widget locker?
Nothing to do with widget locker I think (I use it too in conjuction with Go Launcher) however there seems to be a bit of a bug in Go Launcher where icons randomly disappear - the last update was supposed to have fixed that but hasn't really, some still occasionally go missing from my home screens too. The easiest thing to do for now is to put all your apps and shortcuts how you want them, then backup the configuration from within Go Launcher preferences, next time they go walkies just hit restore configuration and job done. Just remember to back up the config every time you add or remove stuff.
I'm using go launcher and widgetlocker for 24 hours now and having no problems at all, initially the launcher was slow, but after 1-2 hours when I used it again, it was smooth, maybe cache related thing

I am using go lancher themes from the market. It did it again the whole screen is blank after a unlock no icons at all only the wallpaper shows. Lancher Pro did the same thing.
I can go into go lancher settings click on themes and nothing comes up.
I used widgetlocker and go launcher ex. I have not had any problems.
Preferences -> Operation settings -> Screen rotation (switch off)
I had the same problem, got rid of it by applying this setting. Wish you luck
Already had the rotation off.
If i hold down the home button after i unlock and bring up the task manger and find widget locker and do a force close all my icons come back.
As a note, I get this exact same issue with ADW Launcher EX.
Happens only right after a reboot, and not every time - WidgetLocker Lockscreen appears, I unlock and find a completely blank screen (Only the notification bar shows). Pressing the menu button brings up the ADW Launcher Ex menu though...
Restarting ADW Launcher doesn't seem to help, only rebooting a couple times until it does appear seemed to help me, but I'll try force closing widget locker itself next time.
I initially set ADW as default launcher, but then set the WL HomeHelper as default in widgetlocker settings, which I believe is the correct way to do it to block the home button from auto unlocking etc.
Edit: Restarted the phone just to test, and force closing widgetlocker does do the trick - minor annoyance only I guess

Yes it is for me it seems to only do it when i'm in a hurry lol
I use widgetlocker and GoLauncher too.
I've had the same problem this morning too, but a reboot of the device fixed the problem.
I've had similar issues without Widgetlocker installed, so I think the cause is to be found in GoLauncher. But the phone reboots very fast so I am not really bothered by it.
I used LP and switched to GO Launcher.
GoLauncher is set as default launcher at the first boot.
In WidgetLocker i disabled the homebutten with homehelper to stop the unlock by the homebutton.
No the problem:
When i reboot, there is a message that says "go launcher is not your default launcher." (Attach 1)
When i click ok, i'm in the assignments of WidgetLocker (Attach 2)
When i disable the homehelper in WL there is no problem when i reboot.
But i want to disable the homebutton...
Any ideas?
BTW: LP is disabled!
I'm using Litening Rom 6.1
I had exactly the same issue and stopped using Go Launcher as a result. It would only happen sometimes but it would require me to restart my phone. I now use ADW instead and it works fine.
I have a Verizon LG G3, stock unrooted. It is supposed to show weather info on the locksceen or when you close the cover, using the QuickCircle case. The weather info is powered by Accuweather, but when I close the QuickCircle case, it consistently says "Set cities in weather app" and doesn't show any weather info for my phone. Looking at just the lock screen, it doesn't show anything weather related at all.
The location IS set in the Accuweather app and displays correctly on my home screen.
When I go to Settings - Lockscreen - Weather Animation - the check box isn't checked. When i click it, it asks me to add a location. I am prompted to enter a location and do so. But when i do it says that the location "already exists". That is correct - I can see that it exists in the accuweather app on the home screen, however no cities are set for the LOCKSCREEN display of the app..
Its like the lockscreen function of the app can't store or access a saved city...??
I have tried clearing the data for the Weather app, and the LG keyguard app but neither worked.
Anyone have any ideas?

ping... Help please! Someone..???
I'm not sure which is the following instructions resolved the issue, but I now have a location set for my weather on the lock screen. If you too, are having this issue try the following procedure....
1. Remove any weather widgets from your home screens.
2. Clear the cache, and data, and force stop all 3 weather related apps. To do this, go to Settings, application manager, and then flick right until you get to the list of all programs. You should see one called weather, one called weather theme, and one called weather platform. Do this for all 3 apps.
3. Turn on Location. I used the power saving mode and this worked fine.
4. Add the 2 X 1 sized widget to your home screen. Do not add the 5 by 2 widget. Click it, and set your location via the current location button. Do not manually type in a location.
5. Go back to your home screen and verify you have weather data for where you are. Then turn off your screen and verify you have weather data on your lock screen.
Hope this helps!!

turn on location and choose the one with network assist.
turn on wifi.
remove the set city.
then add your hometown and other cities.
if you want weather animations on lockscreen, enable sync.
I had set Google Now as my launcher. To fix this, I reverted back to the LG Home launcher and then tapped the large 4x2 widget which I could see caused it to automatically set to my current location. I was then able to set the weather animation on and change the launcher back to Google Now.
The instructions others provided did not work for me.

I am new to Nova. In my playing around and setting up, I switched back to Google Now Launcher. When doing so, most my icons on my home screen disappeared and my app store totally disappeared. Switching back to NOVA revealed the same situation. I recovered with a TWRP back up, but is this action normal when switching between launchers?
Did you check to see if Nova hid the app store? Long press a blank space on a home screen in Nova and select 'Settings' in the overlay that appears. Navigate into 'App & widget drawers', then 'Hide apps' (under 'Drawer groups'). Confirm that 'Play Store' is not checked in the list that appears.

I will check for that if the problem happens again. So I should be able to switch between the two launchers without any ill effect? I have been afraid to try ever since.
Somebody else might chime in, but I've never had a problem with multiple launchers installed on the same device. My G4 has the Google Now Launcher, Nova, and the in-built LG Launchers and I can switch between them or assign a default without issue.
Hey guys,can anyone help me to find LP Theme from Percy921-last version?
Sorry if this has been addressed. Is there a way to remove the date displayed in the upper right corner of the home screen? Thanks for any replies.
It's supposed to be the weather widget, but it looks like you need an update from the play store for pixel launcher, and turn on weather cards. After that it will be a weather widget, that opens google weather when you click it. It's actually pretty good. Not sure if you can get rid of it. It can be date/time or weather.
How do you change the weather back to date and time?

I still can't get weather widget or time widget. Mine is stock on date only. Any suggestions?
Mine went away after doing an update to pixel launcher in the play store

Hi, I have a similar problem with my Pixel 128 (the smaller version). I'm stuck with the Day/Date in the upper right corner on the home screen. I have updated, and uninstalled and reinstalled Pixel Launcher, and restarted the phone. There seems to be no way to make that go away or modify it at all.
My launcher version is 7.1.1-3359438
Any ideas?

why not grab the apk and force update it.
Or/then go to google now (swipe right) and pull down to refresh.
Should change it.
I get date only also. Never seen the weather there, which would be nice.
Swipe to Google now (left) and then pull down to refresh. Then go back to main screen weather should be updated. I have to do this on mine. Hope they fix it.

Old thread - new information
For those who want just the date, weather can be removed by turning off the WeatherUpdate receiver. No weather info? No weather displayed . Root is required. I used SDMaid but others work just as well.
It's very annoying Pixel launcher forced to put the stupid weather widget. The data is not accurate and not update. I have a very good local weather app with accurate data and forecast.
You can't unless you use a different launcher like Nova

Disable weather cards in google now.
I think it's as simple as disabling location, refreshing the Google now cards and rebooting.

You can disable location and get rid of the weather, that is true. It will however, leave a date widget in its place

My initial challenge was how to turn it on once I had my Pixel (thus Pixel Launcher). I went through a variety of procedures via discussion groups, and it finally worked when I enabled "Location" in the "Permissions" of the Pixel Launcher app in the Android app settings. Thus, when I wanted to disable it, I turned that permission off, and just in case, also went to Google app's hamburger menu--> customize--> Everything else and selected "no" for the three weather update options, themselves hard to figure out how they differ. This will also disable the weather widget inside of the google app, which is equally useless as the one on the homescreen (they are linked) as it requires manually updating. However, before you eliminate that widget in the Google app, tap it to open it up into a search window view, then tap its 3 dot menu (on right) and select the option to put a weather icon on the home screen. This icon (not an app in the app drawer, oddly) can only be created here, and opens up to a really cool Google weather app, which, upon tapping that home screen icon, will always be updated! ....
Last thing: whenever you make these sorts of changed to system functions, at least on Android 7.x, changes will often require a restart!

Yeah because you want to lose full functionality of device location just to get rid of the weather widget. /s

Another (maybe simpler) solution is to downgrade to the first version of pixel launcher. It's on apkmirror and it doesn't have the weather widget. You'll lose the swipe up anywhere to apps thought... But works fine!
