There's a great little app called Snowstorm, for weather. Its widget though, always disappears on reboot: "Problem loading widget". Seems that alot of other widgets are having this problem too:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/5047-problem-loading-widget-for-all-widgets-after-restart/
Snowstorm's dev doesn't find anything amiss in the Android log. When it happens the widget isn't even in the Widgets List anymore. I have to fully un/reinstall Snowstorm. But it always happens again.
Is there any hope?
Are you installing it to SD or internal memory? Widgets don't get on with being installed on the SD.
Internal. Dev says that's necessary as it's a service. He also says BTW that for some reason the service is not getting started, and that the fault is somehow with CM6.
No one else having this problem?

Hello,
yesterday I started to move some Apps (around 20) to my SD Card.
On of the apps was "HTC_IME mod" (the keyboard). When I tried to write something now I only had the android keyboard. HTC IME wasn't even in the input settings.
Well, okay, moved it back to phone storage. Still didn't work somehow.. it FC'd.
I reinstalled it and it worked again.
Some minutes later I've seen that 3 Apps aren't in the AppDrawer anymore!
Since I got some of them in a folder on the homescreen I tried to start the apps there. It didn't work! Getting the message "isnt installed on phone" or something like that.
+ All of the apps I moved were shown without the actual app icon but with the default green icon. I tried to start them too and it worked..
I also couldn't move any of them back to the phone storage because the buttons were greyed out and I were only able to uninstall them.
I removed most of the apps without a real icon from the folder and put them back in (Holding them in the AppDrawer and moving into the folder) and did another restart to see if they're without an Icon again or not.
Now the Launcher Force Closed. Couldn't do anything.. (I'm on CM6 and deleted the ADW Launcher and just installed LauncherPro Plus)
Blah blah I connected to USB to get the USB screen (makes the launcher not close anymore) and used the powerstrip app to go the root explorer and reinstall the Launcher. Worked again.
I checked my folder again and I see that all icons are still shown! Yay!
But wait, that can't be true. I did another restart.
Checked the folder and most of the apps are without an icon again (default icon only).
AND I have some apps TWICE in the AppDrawer!!
wtf!? What the hell am I doing wrong?
I just wanted to use the FroYo Apps2SD methode to get some free space on my phone -.-

Another restart fixed it. But it didn't fix the missing icons in the folder and I think it also didn't fix everything what happened before.

Same problem... But i think it may be related to Market Update.
Common problem... have a read of the following:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html
http://www.androidguys.com/2010/05/22/storing-apps-sd-froyo/
Also, most reliable results are with stock Froyo Launcher... probably best to use that if you have a lot of apps on SD using Froyo method.
Shameless plug: Kang-o-rama 1.0, which is based on CM6 RC1, is the only CM rom with full apps2ext support. Apps2ext will give you the benefits and none of the pain... see my sig.
Temporary solution
Temporary solution that worked on my N1 is this:

Here some solutions that I and others have posted in the nightly build thread. Go into settings, applications, manage applications, running, adw, then force stop. That brought back the apps icons. The weirdest one I found is to open camera (I then open settings) close camera, and my icons are back. Don't ask me why this works but it does.
Note: All the icons that turn generic are in folders on my home page, including camera.

Oh wth.
I know that the icons were still not shown yesterday morning and during the day I used the camera exactly once.
I just checked the folder on the homescreen and the icons are there .. crazy
Bump!
anyone with the same problems but other solutions?
This is a common and known issue with custom launchers (like LauncherPro you're running) and Froyo's Apps2SD. Plus, it's a known limitation - widgets/keyboards/system service apps/etc can't be moved to SD and keep working reliably. Cyanogen enables the option, but it doesn't say you can use it on everything.
There are no solutions, and it's very well possible that there won't ever be any.
Well I have read many forums that have this problem and most of them pass me up. The only time I get "android.process.acore" FC is when I am adding widgets. This happens about 95% of the time. I moved my widgets from SD to Internal storage. But I still get "android.process.acore" FC, when I re-add them to my home screen... So I rebooted and cleared cache, still no improvement. I am running Cyanogen 5.0.8 and Slide Blue Theme. Like I said, its not that big of a problem, but I would like it to work properly. So what could be the problem?
P.S. After I long press on home screen, select widget, select 4x1 or 4x2(depending on what widget) press ok, then "android.process.acore" FC appears, I wait awhile, then I hit FC, my phone resumes to home screen with the new widget I selected. But why does it have to say, "android.process.acore" FC? Weird......

Using the app Terminal Emulator:
Type "su"
then type "fix_permissions"
Thanks! It worked!

Update: it worked for the first 20 mins or so..... now its back to where it was at. I went into terminal emulator and fix permissions and rebooted my phone. Humm..... I don't know exactly what the problem is? Anymore suggestions?

I had the same issue and looked at this thread. I can not post links.. thanks.. anyway if you were to search and see codedotgoogledotcom/p/android/issues/detail?id=2377
I removed some widgets and it still happened. I followed the last solution to the post and removed my peep acct and it seems to have solved the problem, for me any way .. HTC EVO 4g on froyo (back to stock)..
Not sure if this is a symptom of Cyanogenmod nightly or something else, but I can no longer add new widgets. I have downloaded quite a few but they don't show up in the widget list when I go to add a new widget. All the default ones are there.
I know the widgets are installed because they show as installed in the application manager and market app. In the market app if I go to my downloads the app is listed as installed and if I click on it and then go "open" it opens the screen that says "this is a widget, please add it to your homescreen by long pressing the background" message that some widgets have.
But when I go to add them, they just dont appear in the list. It's the same with many different launchers. Any thoughts?
Some widgets will not show up in the list if they are installed on the SD card. If they're installed there, just move the apps to the phone.
Great. Solved the problem, thanks for that. Should have though of it myself I guess.
I'm guessing that Cyangoenmod defaults to installing to SD card because I never set that. I have switched it back to defaulting to internal memory now.
Oddly enough, my entire app drawer is showing up blank. If I start searching, they're all there and my apps and widgets are all intact. Somehow, I must have disabled something in Titanium Backup that caused them to disappear. Can't find anything about it online. After rebooting multiple times and trying to re-enable everything I can think of, I've had no success. I had app my apps organized into folders on the stock launcher until something happened, and I've noticed at times I get the toast notification "Service started." Any ideas? I'm running the latest stock ROM on Sense.
Hello all, over the last 2-3 days when installing apps with known widgets they aren't showing up so you can select and add. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and nothing. If I restart the device then the widget will show up to add. Another odd thing is when the app is uninstalled the widget is showing up to add. The app is uninstalled and this is happening. I try to add the widget to see what it does and it creates the little Android. If you long press to add the widget to the home screen it gives a meassgae that reads "Create Widget and Allow Access? After you create widget, Google app can access all data it disolays. Always allow Google Apps to create widgets and access their data with a check box. There are also cancel and delete options. They both don't do anything. If you check the box and select create it brings you back to the widget select area. Device is stock. No recent apps aside from one bad weather app. Any ideas? This is a new issue aside from the early shutdown before 0% battery. First it was 2% 15% and now 18% tonight. Disappointing for a $650 device. Thanks!
I didn't understand, actually what are you talking about?
Sorry, I realize it may be confusing. It seems to be unusual. I've attached a screenshot of what shows then you try add a widget that is from an app that is uninstalled. There should not be a widget listed in the listing to add when an app is uninstalled . Now the initial issue is when an app is installed that offers a widget I'm not seeing it in the widget listing area. I've uninstalled the app and reinstalled and widget still doesn't show in list. If I reboot the phone then I usually see the widget. Very odd! Any thoughts?
Having this problem too. Just added CurrentWidget and its not showing under "add widget". Restarted and the widgets there. Stock 5.1
I have the same problem , you have to reboot phone after adding widgets each time

Yeah, there are others with the same issue. For sure seems like an operating system bug. 5.1 update did not fix it. It just started a few week ago. I wonder if it has something to do with the stock launcher.
I've always thought that was the norm, but others feel it is a bug.
Try restarting system UI after install instead of a reboot and I'm told that should accomplish the same thing for you to see the new widgets in the list.
Are you guys using the standard Google launcher? I have never seen this issue but run Apex or Nova

Yeah no red flags there. The Chinese are known for their love of bloggers.
