Weather Syncing With Custom ROMS - Samsung Galaxy Gear

I'm running the SkyNote 4.3 Note3 ROM and cannot get the weather to sync to my Gear. The ROM uses the accuweather widget from the note 3, but for some reason the weather will not sync. When I used the leaked AT&T 4.3 ROM with the "older" accuweather widget it worked fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated to get this sorted.

I too have been trying to get the weather to sync to my gear. I'm running sky note a well version 2. I have only had my gear for a week now and have only been using it with the sky note rom. I'm starting to wonder if the weather issue has something to do with sky note. Only way to find out is to switch roms.

Hi,
same problem i had with null_14 Rom.
You have to use Accuweather on your phone to sync.

I thought that null_14 would fix the issue but no luck. I think it might be due to the N3 version of the widget I have installed.

I've come to the same conclusion. I tried to install both versions of accuweather with no success. I've since gone back to the leaked stock version of 4.3 and it syncs fine

The problem is skynote does not have the locations settings for weather just the refresh time thats why you can not sync weather on the gear

That makes sense. Do you think its just the apk for the weather widget that they have loaded with the rom?

Yes cause the missing item is in settings thats the rom i was on till i couldnt sync weather

I have exactly the same issue with DN 3.1.1. It used to work at some point, but I can't quite remember which rom I was running at that time. I'm fairly certain that the accuweather widget will have been the same one that I'm using now. So it could possibly be something else in the rom itself.

Success!

Im on a sprint note 2 and the weather sync works with a stock 4.3 Rom. If I install any 4.3 rom with the note 3 apps baked in then weather stops syncing to my gear and I get "Weather Daemon EUR has stopped" evrytime I try to enable weather sync in Gear Manager. The weather widget works fine on my homescreen though. I'm going to try and replace the accuweather apk with one from a stock 4.3 rom and see what happens.

Make sure you guys have:
AccuweatherPhone2013.apk
WeatherWidgetDaemon.apk
Both in /system/app.
Otherwise, clear data & cache for WeatherProvider in Settings -> Application settings on your phone.. Then reboot.
If weather daemon is crashing for what ever reason, replace it with a known working one. Something from a standard gear compatible rom obviously.

CM7.2 on Hero questions

I recently installed the CM7.2 stable that was posted on that site a few weeks ago. Everything works well so far. Just have one problem with navigation never recalculating the route if I deviate from it (using gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip). Also, the clock on the stock (sense) rom had stopwatch, alarms, countdown and also a widget. Is there something that does all that and works on CM7.2? The standard CM7.2 clock is just widget and alarms. Thanks.

You might want to look at fancy widgets. It's a sense-like clock widget. It doesn't provide all of those things but you can set it so pressing on certain areas lunch an app. For example pressing on hours launch the alarms, but pressing on minutes you can set to launch a stopwatch app.
As far as navigation I haven't tried navigation yet so I'm not sure but are you using the latest maps from the market?
Thanks, I'll have a look. Yeah Maps is up to date (and set to auto update).

Maps has been slow for me, but if I click the link over to directions, it almost always crashed on me after a short while.

One other thing you guys can try is the opengl mod. Tricking maps into thinking our phones support opengles 2.0
Open /system/build.prop (use something like es file explorer)
Change the line
"ro.opengles.version=65535" to "ro.opengles.version=131072"
That may or may not help at all. Worth a shot though.

[Q] Auto-rotating doesn't work

Hello there.
I have installed jb on a friend's phone, upgraded from a gb darkyrom variant and apparently auto-rotation does not work...
The accelerometer works fine as I've tested it with some app from the market.
What can I do?
thx

Does the ROM really matter? Since it's happening on 3 variants of jb (supernexus, cm10.1 and AOSP).
Right now I told him to use a force-rotate workaround, using an app from the store, but it would be nice if auto-rotate would work.
Thanks.

There are various apps that test the accelerometer, you can then check if its a hardware/software issue.
You can check in the display make sure to tick it, or if not got to play store and download orientation switch to test it out.
The accelerometer totally works. It worked before with GB and it works on JB using an accelerometer test app.
It's the auto-rotation that does not work. Forcing orientation with a play store app works. But I'd like auto-rotation to work
Any help please?

If using 4.2.2, you'll need to use gearmanager 1.2

Thank you Thank you
When I tapped the charger NFC to my I9505G (Google Edition S4) it downloaded the Gear Manager Stub and setup the device without issue.
The problem I'm having is when my Gear is connected it seems to screw up the Physical Keyboard. I lose access to the keyboard in all my other apps. In Language & Input my Physical Keyboard is listed as SA_MUSIC_REMOTE_CONTROL
((UPDATE))
Easy Fix - Just Turned Off Physical Keyboard , appears it was trying to use the GG as a keyboard via Bluetooth. All is well. Working with very little pain on the Google Edition S4.
Now I just need to see if I can find the Weather Widget and Pedometer
Follow up to I9505G + GS4 GPe
Hi ksujace,
I'm in a similar boat as you in that I have the same devices. Thanks for the tip on turning off the physical keyboard, that is a huge help. I'd love any ideas you have about improving the rest of the outstanding issues (pedometer, weather, etc). If you've learned anything new, would greatly appreciate your insight.
Thanks

[Q] Stock Calendar not displaying AccuWeather in Month View

Hello,
Recently switched from GS4 4.4.2 to Note 3 now running 4.4.2
There is a check mark in the stock calendar settings that when checked displays AccuWeather graphics in the month view (i.e. sun, clouds, rain, etc) on a day to day basis.
This worked on my GS4 but not on my new Note 3.
Any help on a setting change elsewhere on the phone or a workaround to enable this feature would be appreciated.
TIA,
Pete

This is another feature that worked fine on 4.3 and which no longer works for me on 4.4.2. I too would be grateful if anyone knows how to reverse this unfortunate reversal--there are too many valuable functions lost in KitKat and not enough benefit to warrant the supposed "upgrade."
Mine works.
This is what I did.
Open calender, open settings, check AccuWeather, close settings, close calendar, allow GPS to find location and close itself, close calendar in recent apps, open calender again and it should work.
Thanks for the suggestion--it still doesn't work for me. Any other thoughts?

Sorry but I have nothing else for you. Mine still works. Even after a hard reset it works just like it should. If you are running anything but a stock ROM then perhaps try the thread for that ROM. Good luck.

Samsung Calendar

Is there another app that comes as close as possible to Samsung's stock calendar app? I just love how it performs and I can't seem to get its apk working on other phones. So if/when I do use another phone as my daily, I'd like to use a calendar app that's the closest to Samsung's. Google calendar is not an option. I've tried it a few time. Don't like it. If you've used Samsung's calendar app regularly, you'd understand why I prefer it.
Alternatively, if you've figured out how to install the Samsung stock calendar app on other phones, please share how you made it work. Thanks!
I like the calendar app, but I can't stand the way it shows notifications. Why can't we get normal android notifications from it is beyond me
Because of this, I prefer Google's calendar app, their implementation of looking for locations is better than Samsungs.

Thanks. Keeps crashing on this 6T that I tested it on, though. I'm just trying to see if it would work on a non-Samsung phone.

Well it won't..
I have the Samsung Calendar on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9. I have used it for well over a year now. It has suddenly lost all of my appointments. They just disappeared yesterday. How can I retrieve those? I need them for dr appointments. I have several chronic illnesses and rely heavily on a working calendar. Thanks.
