Hello, i have a question about google maps widgets. I have hal9k android 9 mod on px5 mtcd, with same launcher3 as many stock android 9 devices.
My problem is that all widgets work (TuneIn radio widgets, Gmail widgets, google widgets, etc...), but Google Maps widgets do not work. When i press on ,,car mode" widget or route shortcut widget, nothing is happening. Widget turns google maps on, but it doesn't do anything. Car mode widget opens google maps in normal mode without doing anything, Home widget opens google maps without navigating to home:
However, when I change the launcher to the other one (for example nova launcher), the google maps widgets start working. So this is rather an issue with stock launcher. However i like the stock launcher the most, I do not want to change it. Anyone has an idea how to fix it? Is it a known issue? I have done a factory reset, no difference. May this issue be related to changes done by hal9k mod, but I don't think so. Does it happen on every stock android 9 mtcd device with stock version of launcher3?
Thanks for help,
Tom

Bit of a strange one, Friend Stream app is still on my phone but there is no option to add the widget. Only mod I have done is the Modaco Root, not a custom ROM or anything.
Any ideas?
Actually, on closer inspection all HTC widgets have disappeared leaving just the Android widgets. Any ideas what could have happened?
Did you use any 3rd part launcher app? ( HelixLauncher, launcher pro , etc. )
If you use those instead of the default HTC Sense, you can't add HTC widget to the homescreens.
No I don't use any 3rd party launchers but I've worked it out now. I just had to clear the HTC Sense application data, which annoyingly reset all of my home screens back to factory but restored the widgets too.
thanks for finding that out. just had it happen to me..
Is there a way, without downloading a 3rd party app, to get the samsung calendar and/or email widgets aside from what are on the magazine ux, which are a bit cumbersome in my opinion. I'd prefer to have the same widgets I have on my galaxy S5: full screen month view calendar widget, and the default email widget. Is there a way to do this, also, without doing a different launcher, like Nova, which I've tried and don't love.
Odd Samsung would strip these out, but they clearly want to push this magazine ux thing.
Thanks in advance for the help!
I am also looking for the calendar widget. Someone knows how to get it? I don't like this magazine ux

I too was annoyed at this. I didn't mind losing TouchWiz, but wanted to stay stock for potential future updates (please Google change SD card write access) so I downloaded the "Google Now Launcher" to get rid of the Magazine UX (although I didn't install "Google Now" so not to have that pop up on the home screen). I use "Pure Grid Calendar Widget" from the Play Store. If you choose the "4x4 free" calendar you can set the pixel count for your tablet/preference upon creating the widget. I have it around 1550x1550 pixels for my Tab Pro 8.4 and stretched it to fit most of the screen.
I liked Pure Grid Calendar Widget on my old HD2, but didn't need it on my S3 and S5 because the Samsung Calendar was similar. Enable events in the timeline to show descriptions in month view on the widget. I also wanted a full-screen email widget for 2 accounts, so I downloaded Aqual Mail, which looks and works similar to the S5 Email widget. I stretched that widget to full screen too (or square with some app shortcuts below it).
All in all, Google Now Launcher made the Home Screen interface seem less laggy (along with some adjustments to animations in Develop Options). Add in these two free apps (paid version unlocks additional features) and I it gives a similar feel to my S5 setup. I know you said you didn't want to download any apps, but this seems to be the only option (I didn't check Samsung Apps for a calendar though, don't know if they have something there).
***Note: I don't have any apps installed on the SD Card, but some people say that the shortcuts for apps installed on SD Cards disappear from the Home Screen if you use the Google Now Launcher.
Note 4 Dev ed.
Rooted but no roms, just Titanium freezing some bloat.
I have noticed that when I try to set a Calendar Widget for the date, or to get it to show me upcoming appts and such, the on screen widget stays on whatever was live at the time I create the widget. So I noticed today that the widget showed it was "WED Apr 15" which was when I created it. I installed a 3rd party calendar widget to try to get the appts to update and display and it did the same thing, only displaying appts from the day/week I added it.
Weather widgets do the same thing, I have tried the built in one as well as the Weatherbug widget and only if I actually launch the app do I get updated info.
Is there a setting I may have inadvertently turned off? What can I do to fix this?
Same issue here. Third party widgets don't work, won't update. Starbucks, sol calender, beautiful widgets, etc. I'm stock on lollipop.
Help?
Im using Ricks Rom Lollipop and third party Widgets are working perfectly (as is everything else), i used the one rom method for lollipop then did Ricks Rom and things have been perfect. I had issues with the one rom method (Bluetooth and other things), you might want to check into a new rom.
I don't have the development version. Stock retail verizon here.
Up? Hello... Anyone?
Hi, I got a problem with my Redmi phone.
I set up Nova Launcher and I am using several widgets. Some of them work without any problems, but Google Keep Widget and Event Flow Calendar widget gets deleted after one or two days. So basically, every second day, I need to set up it again. That's annoying.
Does anybody know this issue and has a solution? Should I go back to the standard launcher?
Cheers,
Sven
I've got the same issue -- was using Nova - using Evie now, and have the same issue...
Well, good to know. But I don't understand why this is happening. Makes no sense to me. Did you try with the original / standard launcher?

Rights problem, add Android background capabilities to your app
Update: I changed back to standard/system launcher, added the widgets and they disappeared after 2 days. One of the widgets was Google Keep, the other one event flow calendar and Google Calendar. When I started Google Keep from the app, the widget came back. I just had to choose my Google Account again. But it works.
Is there anybody out there who found a solution for this issue? Looks like it loses the connection to the app or something.

Hello i had the same problem. Because i have install almost my apk direct from my backup (file explorer) and many widget (agenda business, digical, aquamail dont working). I have reinstall from Play Store and problem solved... And Nova Launcher working now... (just problem accessibility if you use gesture).
The thing is that I did not backup anything. I did a fresh install from Google Play. Nova launcher actually worked, also the gesture. But not the widgets. But as I said, they disappear even with the system launcher.
So it is not related to Nova Launcher I guess.
I did not find a nice solution so far. Just the one I described, but it is rather a compromise instead of a solution. Damn Xiaomi

tried the standard launcher and from what I can tell, it didn't affect the widgets. which sucks as the standard launcher is weak sauce.
I gave the app of the widgets that didn't work in Nova Launcher all permissions, and they worked after that.
Stock F3, stock ROM. I'm using the google widget that displays date/weather. You can click on the date to have google agenda, or click on the weather to open google weather.
But sometimes, the weather disappear, only the date stays, and clicking on it does nothing.
I tried removing widget and reset google cache etc, set google/launcher to not be in the battery saving settings, rebooting, etc.
Only way I found to remake it work is to clear all data of the launcher, but it removes all apps from screen, background, etc, it's fastidious...
Anyone has a solution?
For me too. ^^
But you can make a Homescreen shortcut to Google Weather
