New App Widgets Not Showing - Moto X Q&A

I've had an issue lately where my Widget Selection menu won't refresh and show a widget available from a newly installed app. Has this happened to anyone else? After a reboot, or waiting for quite a while, the widget will appear in the Widget portion of the app drawer, but it's not always immediate the way that it should be. Any suggestions?

Weird clock problem

Sometimes the clock just doesn't get updated at all. Check out the screen shot.the clock on the notification bar works fine but the one on the home screen stops updating itself. This happens with stock clock and beautiful widgets as well.
I am on stock ROM and non rooted phone

I have a different clock related problem: often, when I set the timer or the stopwatch feature and then let the screen timeout, the clock forgets that its timing something. When I go to check on it, it has reset to zero.
I have the same problem here, the standard Samsung clock and the beweather clock stops working at random.I
have got the problem since the ICS update...
Is either the launcher problem or task killer killing the clock. You can use the clock widget that comes with your launcher. If you are using task killer, make sure your clock is in your ignore list.

FriendStream Widget not refreshing after ICS update

Hello everyone,
Updated to ICS just recently and everything seems to be working fine so far apart from the FriendStream widget.
I'm using the full-screen widget as opposed to the other 2, smaller, versions.
At the moment, I have placed the widget on screen and it shows my updates, but when it refreshes itself the updates don't show.
The time at the bottom of the widget changes to show that it updated recently but the status updates don't change.
If I go into the FriendStream app itself the updates are there but just not on the widget.
Odd.
I have to remove and re-add the widget for it to 'refresh'
Any thoughts please?

[Q] Finally on ICS, but.....

Finally FXZ'd back to unrooted 905, then OTA'd to ICS. Can see why everyone likes ICS. Three questions:
1) How do you add widgets to the home screen? I long press on an empty spot and get a popup to select wallpaper.
2) I miss the stock weather app on GB where I could add cities. It was a flip page style app. I didn't see any weather app in the ICS app drawer.
3) Cold I load the old GB weather app into the ICS operating system?
Thank you for your time.
I also wanted to thank crobs808 for putting together the FXZ info.

in the stock launcher, the widgets are added from the app drawer. Tab to widgets from app drawer and hold on desired widget, then place.
I never used the stock weather widgets on the bionic but you could try the AccuWeather app in the play store. I know on tablets it has paged weather locations that you could flip through

Home.apk gets frozen

From time to time my widgets on the home screens are getting stuck. for example clock widget, weather widget, music widget. clock stops on a random hour. Music widget is completely not working., The only solution is to restart the phone or "Force stop" the Home.apk. I´m on 10H firmware and I've already restored the phone to factory defaults. Just wondering if someone experienced same thing? if yes can you advise how to fix it? The non stock widgets I´'m using are: BeWeather Pro and ClockQ Premium.
Have not yet heard of that problem?
May use another launcher (apex for example)
and see if it occures with it the same way.
Greetings
It looks like BeWeather was doing it. I've removed the widget from the screen yesterday and since that time no issues at all. Will report that to developer of the app.

[Q] [ZOOPER][TASKER][POPUP WIDGETS]How to hide a widget when pop-up widgets activate?

I'm trying to hide my main home screen widget whenever I open a pop-up widget. I build all my widgets with zooper, and attach them to shortcuts in my dock with pop-up widget.
The only widget that's always showing is my clock that sits on the home screen, but I want it to hide every any time I open one of the pop-ups (they all are transparent). I got tasker because I thought it could handle this for me (never used it before), but I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can make this work? I'm not married to Tasker, but I want to stick with zooper.
Thanks!
EDIT: In case it matters, It's a HTC One M8, Android 5, not rooted, using nova launcher
