need help : how to remove amazon widget from home screen ? - Moto G5 Questions & Answers

I want to remove amazon widgets from the home screen.
The instructions say to "touch & hold, then drag (the widget) to the Remove icon at the top of the screen." There is no Remove icon at the top of the screen, at least nothing that I recognize as meaning Remove and nothing that acts like a Remove icon. There's also no trash/recycle icon.
Please, how do I delete/remove unwanted widgets?

Normally you would just long press on the widget and drag it to where it says remove or has a X
However
I'm assuming you are using the Amazon version which is bundled with all their ads
You can try using a different launcher - try using evie launcher (playstore) Don't import from your previous launcher home screen & see if the widget is either not there or can be removed
If not then the only option is to root your phone to remove the Amazon apps from system

I used Better Cut and Folder Organizer to make it. Just do a long press on your home screen and choose shortcut, the better cut and folder organizer options will be there.
where did you get the word icons from?
I would like to know the name of the word icons used on the homescreen as well
I got them from here. He does ask for a small donation but it is well worth it. He even made me some custom icons.
long press on the icon you want to change. choose change icon, custom icon.

Changing a widget?

This is one of the screens on my homescreen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see at the bottom in the dock, the text are zooper widgets that simply switch to the specific page in the nova launcher.
However, I want there to be some kind of indication that I am on the relevant page after clicking it, is there any way I can achieve this?
I was hoping there would be some kind of 'onclick' action that would let me switch the page AND change the font colour or something.
Also, when I press them, the text doesn't highlight like when I select any item on the desktop (icons etc). Is there any way to change this?
Thanks in advance.
This zooper widgets arent static there is a set of them on every page. So you can edit the widget on the specific page to show an indicator. Change the font or make a button just what u want.

It is the Wear Mini Launcher settings screen for phone settings. drag again after you have dragged the mini launcher app draw and you will get this screen.

I don't see the screen shown above. I see a list of items under settings with icons, but no grid of icons.

by default the mini launcher is activated by swipe from top left corner to the right, then for below screen, another similar swipe is needed

Weather App

Hi,
I accidentally uninstalled the default weather app and I cant find it anywhere.
Any chance someone in Europe on the latest firmware can extract the apk and upload it please?
Thanks
Let me know if this works

Im afraid not. It won't even install. I've found others that will install but dont work then.
Thank you very much.
You'll need to install the Huawei Weather apk along with the Weather Data Service apk. This should bring back a functioning weather app.

Another solution is using Google assistant to show you your local weather, taping the menu icon in the top left corner, then selecting Add to screen. This will put the default Google weather app on your homescreen,

Anyone know what these markings are?

Everytime I go to my launcher these pop up for a couple of seconds then disappear. Curious what they actually are as I've never noticed then up until recently after updating and doing a factory reset.

You are using a kind of layer on top of the default launcher (kind of like KWGT walpaper) uses to create interactive objects on the main screen, and those are remnants of the default placeholders for Phone and messages or whatever the defaults you had set on your phone.
Those are the Google assistant triggers indication, as you've mentioned, they'll disappear after a while
