OK, now with null_13 and sqlite I hear it is possible to pull the weather from our phone to our gear for use in uccw.
Have you figured this out? if so can you provide instructions? Thanks (Just don't have time to research and test myself.)

What is the easiest way to change the face of the DeskClock widget?
Pull the Clock.apk from any theme that you like and push with to you phone with ADB, that's the easiest way (for me at least)
You can also do MetaMorph (super easy)
You can also go into the theme section and search for Clocks, someone did complete NFL back in the day so I''m sure there are few that are floatnig around.
Looking for an analog clock that has just two circles in it to tell time can anyone help ill try and fond a pic and post it later thanks
Have you tried "Make Your Clock Widget Beta" on the market? Can't link yet but here is his path- net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock
Make your very own clock widget design. Ultimate solution for all home screen modders.
You can create either minimalistic text-based or full features text based clock by yourself.

Has anyone been successful at adding weather widgets to the Nova home screen? Is it possible for updates without tethering?
I searched the topic several places, but have been unable to find a clear answer.
Thanks

I installed Android weather & clock and sense analog clock widget and both work fine. Have to manually configure town and disable all GPS and things.

I went through quite a few to find a widget that displayed ok on the small screen. Eye in Sky was decent but I'm currently using Beautiful Widgets.
To my knowledge you must be tethered for third part widgets, otherwise you have to use the stock Weather widget.
Ok I'm running a stock Gear with Galaxy S3 LTE 4.3 And Accuweather HD widget and Accuweather app. Both are set to the same cities, home, New York and Gilbert AZ which I use for work. The home city is updating hourly as per Gear Manager settings.
However the watch is not updating either NewYork or Gilbert, plus Los Angeles which is not even on the Accuweather app! All these cities show last update of 12th Jan and do not do anything. Samsung hd in the UK haven't got a clue; furthermore they don't even have a Gear to replicate the issue!
Can any one help get these subsidiary cities to update? I've restored, rebooted and wiped all the apps and gear. Nothing.
Live and learn. I never knew you could scroll left and right on the weather to see additional cities. What you're having trouble with does work on mine. Although, as I'm typing, the geo-located city won't update and still shows an earlier time than the non-geo-located cities.
Are you using the Samsung weather app? Third party apps, even those sourcing from Accuweather, have no impact on what's shown on the Gear. There are two places on your phone to adjust the weather on your Gear. The Samsung Weather widget (clock) and on the lock screen when you drag down the clock to expose the weather and agenda. Third party apps, even by Accuweather, have no impact on the Gear's weather display.
If you click on the Weather Widget on your home page...
This pops up...
It's where you can control the weather the Gear sees. It and the lock screen pull down are also where you go to refresh the weather on the Gear if it's out of date. And if it is out of date it's not because of the Gear it's because Samsung's Weather app failed to refresh when you set it to. You'll notice that the update time on the Gear is always the update time from the Samsung Weather app.
P.S. - I don't use the Samsung Weather widget. So when I need to access it I'll delete a widget like Flipboard that's the same size and place it there while I'm working on it. I delete it when I'm done and put Flipboard back.

Thank you! Actually I don't have the Samsung weather running on lock screen, the S3 I have only allows clock and custom message. And the widget isn't shown either. So....what I did was to download the S3 weather shortcut app from playstore and BINGO! I have the cities all there! So now I can update the settings,and hopefully the Gear will also update!
I am trying to get as much out of the Gear without rooting and this is the last major problem I faced. So thank you again!
All working 100% so thank you again!
you can get a five day forecast for any city added to your Gear if you tap on its initial location. Swipe to go back.

And thank you. I downloaded a shortcut creator from Play and created a link like yours for the S3 to the Samsung Weather app so I'd don't have to swap widgets to access it. And the shortcut stays even after removing the app (I hate keeping one-off apps installed).

Me too. I have created a folder on the S3 home page called Gear Apps which contains the shortcut and other apps like Gear Manager and Tablet Talk. Makes it easy to access the specific apps I need for the Gear.
I may well attempt to root for full internet access via Bluetooth tethering when the Gear 2 comes out and this becomes surplus. At the moment I'm just having fun trying to push stock to it's limits!
One other question, that you or someone may be able to answer.... I have no contact names showing only numbers in tablet talk messaging. I have a .vcf file of all the contacts from my 'phone. Which folder should this go in on the Gear to ensure all the numbers receive the contact names? I can transfer using Wondershare MobileGo. Thank you!
I love the original Clock-Weather-Schedule (or called Today Briefing) widget from LG Optimus 2X very much, but I cannot find anything near to it in the store. So I tried to install the Apk on Z3 Compact and give it a try. Ok, it works but not 100% (see screenshot).
Any expert here can help me out? I see 2 issues here:
1. The numbers in the clock is a bit mis-aligned.
2. It's supposed to show today's event, but it always show "No Events".
The apk is attached.
Hard to say.
It's probably an issue with the screen resolution/DPI. I don't think that you can fix that.
Maybe you could install the "3D Digital Weather Clock" from the Play Store and place a calendar widget beneath it. Would look similar.
Try Chronus
best for me is dashclock (clock, calendar, weather, and next calendar event )
I have extracted the resources from this app and ported it to Zooper Widget with my own enhancements on displaying calendar events.
Here I enclose the template for Zooper Widget Pro for everyone who likes this widget. Enjoy!
