Does anyone have the weather app on the default home screen? All of the pics and reviews I have seen show the weather app in the top right corner of the home screen. That is supposed to open up the google weather app when you tap it. Mine is just showing the date and time and does nothing on tap. I haven't found any sort of setting to turn that on / off. This page shows exactly what I'm talking about,

Yeah, I tried everything. Location services for Pixel Launcher I thought might do the trick, but nah.

Just installed an update to the pixel launcher via the play store, after pulling down on the Google now page to refresh, the widget on the home screen updated to the weather one [emoji1]

Yup, same here. Indicates same in the update log in play store description of pixel launcher.

Cool, thanks! I'll give that a shot now.
YEP!! That worked. Nice find!
In case anyone else is having this issue, I had weather cards turned off in Google now. Enabled it, and the weather came up. Guess same goes if you'd rather have the clock, disable weather updates.
Maybe I'm being stupid,but I have a pixel xl,and can see in settings my default launcher is pixel launcher,but cannot find it in app store to see if there's an update and it doesn't show on app store under apps I have installed list.
And cannot see weather like the others couldn't in this thread before updating
I went to play store and searched "pixel launcher". A few of my Google apps were not showing under updates, but I found them and updated them by searching "google" in the store.
I can't get weather to show up on the home screen either. Just clock.
Edit: looks like I had weather cards turned off too. Turned them on, still no weather. Maybe it will show up later though.

There were like three cards I turned on. Then searched and updated launcher in store. Restart. Then it showed up.
I still had one weather card turned off. Turned it on, refreshed the Google now tiles, and voila weather appeared on desktop.

This was a common issue with a lot of the Moto apps as well. You had to manually search for them in order to get updates (Moto Display, Moto, etc). I have no idea why but it can be kind of confusing.
[edit] Just tried manual searching again. Contacts, Wallpapers, Calculator, and Phone all had updates that wouldn't show. This is lame.
Funny enough I came across that post and I was driving myself crazy trying to find how to enable that.
Just search pixel launcher in the play store and update the app.. I did that and it worked just fine like all the reviews I had been seeing

Ok why can I not see Pixel Launcher in Google Play, either on my laptop or my Pixel XL ?
Is this a region thing something for Americans only ?
Found searching for the Pixel Launcher I can install it.
Installed it but I see no Pixel Launcher in my application tray.
I assume Pixel Launcher is running, after a few hours I did get the weather on my home screen.
It seems a little mickey mouse like for a Google product but I searched google on play store and found several things like pixel launcher and wallpapers that by themselves didn't show up needing an update but doing that they did. After a minute or two my pixel weather started working. P.S. I tried and contacted google and no response.

Search Pixel Launcher in the Play Store from a PC. It'll show up and you can install it to your Pixel.
I am in Canada and it says Pixel Launcher is not available in my country when I open the play store on my phone. Did it the PC route and it is working perfectly.

Got my Pixel today. Was going nuts looking for an option all over the place to get weather instead of time. For me weather cards and notifications were already enabled so all I did was update Pixel Launcher via the store and then refresh Google Now (or whatever it's called now) by pulling down at the top of the feed. Thanks guys!

Hi,
On my S3 i'm using UCCW who is amazing ..but while using some weather skins ...it doesnt chow any Current Temperature, weather icons etc ...
Attached a screenshot to give you guys an idea..
thx.
Edit: Using CM10 - Build September the 2nd.
I'm having the same problem. I've got an Inspire 4G running IceColdSandwich. I double checked and made sure I had weather enabled in my settings, I've rebooted, and I also cleared the cache from recovery thinking that might be the problem. No luck so far. Ideas?
EDIT: I realized I had the version of uccw off the play store... upgraded to latest version and my weather is working now.

Bottom of the original post... version 2.0.7
Did this work for you?
Hi,
i have a S III with the polish original version of Jelly Bean and i have the same problem. The UCCW version is 2.1.6. Help me!
Has anyone been able to fix this? I have the same problem on android 2.3.4 I've also tried several versions of UCCW and no luck so far. My current location is showing up correctly (set to automatic), but no weather info.
I haven't had a problem with it since my earlier post in this thread, either on ICS or JB. I'm running the latest update of UCCW from the Play Store now, not sure what version it is.
Are you allowing apps to use Google's location services? It's under settings>location services on my phone.
Also, on your widget, do you have icon only set for the weather, or text and icon? Try turning text on, if it isn't, and see what you get... I've had my weather icons go screwy before and not show up even if it was getting weather info... example, the weather text would say "rain" but there wasn't a rain icon showing.
Edit: if your location is showing then my first question is answered... sorry.

I got it working just now. I tried a few versions posted in these forums but not the latest one in google play Looks like the previous versions don't work because google killed their weather app and apparently UCCW used it. The latest version looks like it uses Yahoo weather instead.
Thanks for your suggestions anyway :good:
Had the same problem on the latest uccw from app store. Did not have to downgrade to older version. For me it was the zip extractor I was using. I was using an app called "unzip" which was not unzipping weather pngs correctly. Switched to an app called "easy unrar lite". All is good now. Hope this helps someone.?
Weather icon and temp was working..
Hello,
My weather temperature and icon was working until now. My location is displayed correctly. Re-installing the app or rebooting my phone didn't help.
Does anyone have this problem too (again..)? Any thing I can try to get it to work?
I have a htc OneX. Revolution HD 18.1
Thanks in advance!

Go in uccw settings and make sure they're enabled. Also, it could be that you need to resize to display them.
Thanks for your tip. everything is enabled. Though I have the temperature now I still don't have the icon. It did appear briefly this afternoon... but now it is gone again... don't know why..

I had this problem once. For me, it was because there was not an appropriate icon for the current condition contained in the icon pack (even though the default one is supposed to show in this case). With the icon pack I was using, everytime the condition was mostly cloudy the icon would disappear. The only fix I found was either changing the icon pack or adding an extra icon and changing the name to appropriately match current conditions.

UCCW Weathe Problem
I was having a problem getting the CT weather to work. Then I found if you push the menu button while editing the widget and change the morning and night, time settings it started to works.
if the solution from Sidetoneusa doesn't work try the following:
according to the uccw settings is it day/night?
Depending on day/night look into the folder with the icons, if there's a matching one for the current weather condition. If not, copy and rename another weather condition thats mostly similar Or ofcourse create a new one yourself
(there should be a folder on your storage called something like "utlimatecustomclockwidget", (don't look in the uccwoutput), open it and browse to the folder with the name of the widget your using and there should be a weather folder inside, all icons are stored in there. the night icons are in a seperate folder. Note: if you edited the original widget and saved it under a different name, still go to folder with the original widgets name, the folder with the name you used to save an edited widget only has a thumbnail inside of it)
Problem is that with custom weather icons, uccw tends to not switch to default ones if one is missing ,but instead shows an empty area. (at least it does on my device)
Uccw weather not update issue solved...
I was having the same problem one my HTC ONE X. After doing some changes it worked fine and owesome update had been given by the updater..
You need to do fallowing steps.
Step 1 - Click on your UCCW app
Step 2 - Go to settings
Step 3 - Click on weather privider.... by default it is set to Open weather map..... so change it to Yahoo.. (need to select from this two option provided
NOW YOU ARE DONE
- If you want can set your location to choose manual by default it is Auto...
- Also you can change Update interval from 12 hour upto 15 minutes (I'm using 15 min)
- You can change Celsius and Degree symbol

For me, nothing of the above worked, it fixed itself after I downloded the Yahoo Weather App and set the weather provider to Yahoo
After I put 4.4.2 on my tablet i suddenly had icons and folders disappear, the clock widget won't remain in the center and my page with 2 widgets side by side no longer fit. Anyone else seen these bugs?
Same issue here. Have three folders on the left of the launcher and two on the right. When I add a new folder on the right of the launcher button, it disappears when I reboot same goes for any widgets
Oh and it's not a 4.4.2 issue, it's the latest version of Google search that's causing it. Not affecting my HTC One.

Same here. I received my OTA the first day it was out. All ran fine until today. Some apps disappeared from the home screen and GEL was replaced with the standard launcher. After a reboot, GEL was back but the apps were still missing. I added the apps to the home screen again and rebooted. The apps dissapeared again and so did GEL. Seeing how I don't have anything important on the tab, I just reset it and so far all is good.
Yes, lost icons. Now only 5 wide. Like the DPI was changed. N7 2013 fully stock, no root.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
it's not 4.4.2 it's Google Search
Fortunately, I had a fresh backup right before Google Search changed the home screens AND fails to acknowledge "OK, Google" with a beep. The spoken search function still works, but there's no way to know it has engaged unless you're watching the screen.
I suggest you wait a bit with this update.....
Nexus 7 2013, stock, rooted, 4.42 (running well!), TWRP, Xposed, etc.....
Was using GEL when moving from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 and all was well.
But when i manually upgraded the search to the latest version (per the link below from androidpolice) that introduced some landscape UI changes to fix overlap of searchbar & widgets, almost all my widgets / pages / icons resetted. Not a big fuss and simply a one time re-setup again. OK Google works as it should - no difference though. BUT what i realised was that with a reboot, the 2 icons to the right of the launcher would stay while the 3rd would always go missing. Obviously a bug that needs reporting and fixing. Will search on google support later and report it if it's not been reported before.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...s-and-changes-the-settings-icon-apk-download/
Overall it's all still going good. There's been so many updates lately from Google, it's great to see such a high activity on development, releases and updates in a software.
hi,
i'm also having the same issue this morning. when I turn on the wifi, my playstore automatically updated all my apps and after the update, my folders, shortcuts, widgets and other home screen was missing. I think it was reset. I'm using the google home (kitkat experience for N7) downloaded from the other site.
I will be following some updates and fix with this thread.
Thanks!
I am having similar issues after an update to 4.4.2. But for whatever reason the build still reads as KRT16S

I just had this happen to me today. Came home, heard my Nexus update a few things automatically, checked my home screen and everything was screwed up, only 5 tiles wide, switched back to default launcher then back to GEL, still a little screwy, but just have to put all my folders back together. Did fix landscape rotation with the search bar in GEL. On 4.4.2.
Thought I was going mad but reading this make me feel better. I only have five wide icons after 4.4.2 looks like the resolution has changed. Wonder if it is set to nexus 5 res?
Edit: Went back to standard launcher for GEL and it is back to normal. 6 icons wide.

Same problem here after Google search app update. Also, has anyone else had an issue with the camera icon dissapearing from the homescreen? Since the update issue everytime I keep adding the camera to the launcher bar it will disappear after I lock and unlock my N7...
It's not just the camera icon, the sixth icon on that row will eventually disappear regardless of the app it launches. Seems that it is trying to maintain the 5 across grid despite there being space for 6.

Confirmed, I had the same issue. Removed the Google Search update and everything is okay again.
Question, I want to get rid of the Google search bar, looks like the Pixel launcher is the key.
I have found a couple apk files to install the pixel launcher on my 5x, BUT I want to know if:
1) my phone needs to be rooted
2) will installation of the pixel launcher on a 5x affect functionality of any other apps or the UI itself
3) is there another way to get rid of the search bar without having to do this?
Google search bar is a built-in function of the default Google Now Launcher. Changing launcher with another one which doesn't have the bar is the easiest way to remove it. Of course your phone doesn't need to be rooted, you can install the launcher apk just like every other apk. The installation of a different launcher affects just the home screen, it's a stand-alone app and you can remove it whenever you want.
ok great thanks.
I thought I had read that installing the pixel launcher will cause my Google feed/now to not work. and I use it alot to read articles/see my traffic/etc

Google feed is also part of the Google Now Launcher, but I think it's present in the Pixel launcher too. Just give it a try
probably stupid question, but do I need to uninstall google now launcher to install the pixel launcher?
It is present, but only In flashed version (Root needed) - apparently it has to be System app.
On the plus side - if you flash it, Google sees your Nexus as Pixel so you have unlimited storage In Google photos
(Edit: you can have Google now feed even In Pixel launcher from apk, just not when you swipe right - it is available through long press of home button)

Nope. After having installed another launcher when you'll press the home button the system will ask what launcher to use as default.
Don't worry about installing it, it's not a critical thing. It's just a normal application

You can add the weather! I read how to in the comments of this article on Android Police earlier. Open Nova then long press the Volume Down Button to enable the "Labs" settings. Modify the remaining settings in Nova/Desktop.

I'll need to check out that Nova, I do rely on Google Now Launcher for weather, traffic, and news alot, so messing with that isnt appealing, BUT if I can make the Nova look like Pixel and work like the current Now launcher, I am all in.

What I dont understand is why Google keeps the search bar in Portrait mode, but switches to the small circular buttons for both google search and voice in Landscape
To me the small buttons in landscape are a very nice design and is better than the pixel.

I've looked thoroughly into the settings to figure out what may be causing your issue and the only thing I can think is that your location data is being denied to the widget, but I don't know how to fix or check that because the widget doesn't show in any of the settings. Maybe something in the location settings is turned off. Sorry I can't be of more help!
Edit: Go into Settings then Apps, click the cog wheel(top right), click app permissions(top option), click location, click 3 dot button(top right), click show system, scroll down to pixel launcher and turn it to on. See if that fixes it.

Hey,
I really appreciate your help thanks a lot.
Unfortunately that didn't do it and neither did a reflash of the ROM. However your suggestions got me thinking and I downloaded a mock location app and interestingly all locations except my very own show the weather. Im suspecting for some reason or another the location data for my area is not being shown by Google and I suspect this may not be just for me but with no other pixels around it's hard to know. Im waiting to travel out of my area and see if my suspicions are correct and it will make sense seeing it just happened out of the blue. Now the question is how do I report such a specific fault to google and not have to wait 5 years for a fix.

Unfortunately that didn't do it and neither did a reflash of the ROM. However your suggestions got me thinking and I downloaded a mock location app and interestingly all locations except my very own show the weather. Im suspecting for some reason or another the location data for my area is not being shown by Google and I suspect this may not be just for me but with no other pixels around it's hard to know. Im waiting to travel out of my area and see if my suspicions are correct and it will make sense seeing it just happened out of the blue. Now the question is how do I report such a specific fault to google and not have to wait 5 years for a fix.

If you have a Pixel you can get support on the web via chat or email or request a call back. Yours sounds like a problem they may be able to help with. Just out of curiosity does your GPS app work ok?
Got the latest update 1st December 2018
AR Stickers work but cant record when active
Can take pictures but thats it?
Followed a few tuts on YT but ppl are using menu sliding from left my texts are at bottom
ie. Camera Video More
When choosing more it shows Playground
For me to access the Stickers
Also most of my apps when clicking them on home screen or appd drawer go to
Google Play and gives option to uninstall or Open ???
Why doing this and not opening straight away?
They've rebranded stickers to Playground. It's an add-on to the camera so that's why it's not listed in the app drawer.

Anyone got the AR aplk and will remove this one if it works
I just tested recording a video with the stickers. You need to hold the button to record video as if it was an Instagram story.

Just got the phone (new)
Have seen other forums and ppl having same issues
Not sure if its software updates rolling out in different places or not
All I know is once I switched my phone on
I had 2 software updates to do
Didn't have AR Stickers
Had to download AR Core then I had to get playground

I am confused then
Have you or do you need any options enabled to use this feature (first pixel user)
So this is new to me with AR Stuff

Didn't have to enable anything. I noticed the video button was missing compared to the previous app so I figured long pressing did recording. Have you tried clearing app data? How about make sure all app permissions are on? If that makes a difference.

Yeah tried that
Have gave feedback on app as well as google feedback on the issue
As it seems to be a problem with some users
Might not matter at all because I don't see a possible connection but try changing to the pill home button (gesture navigation). That's the only thing I can see visually different from mine.

*** SOLVED **
Issue is in Developer Options
Issue is in Developer Options
Animation Duration Scale, adjust that solved the issue
Can now record as it wasn't turned up enough
Cheers guys
Nice you figured it out. What setting did you have it on that didn't work?

When you access Developer Options in Settings (advanced)
Scroll Down to Drawing
Then turn Animator Duration Scale up as I had mine Off
This Solved the issue
