Hello I have a Gear running Null rom and would like a widget that will show upcoming appts from my phone/google acct. There is a Gear clock face it it requires the whole face. Is there another way?

I really like the 2 reminder 1*4 style of the google calendar widget but it doesn't update like it should.
Anyone game to make a similar style/function calendar widget that works?
Thanks
Me too, looking for the old style G build calendar widget.
Now using Quick Calendar, but the widget UI need to be polished a bit.
ok it is an old thread but i am hijacking it anyway
Is there a widget/app on the market that shows you at least the next 2 appointments from you calendar? like on wm or bb today views...
Quick Calendar was just updated recently, and it's widget works much better. Needs a bit more design polish, but it's functional, and displays more than one upcoming event.
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 It and the lock screen pull down are also where you go to refresh the weather on the Gear if it's out of date. And if it is out of date it's not because of the Gear it's because Samsung's Weather app failed to refresh when you set it to.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!
Is there a way to have a clock face that shows notifications? Or some other way to have it so when i turn the watch screen on, I can see both the time and any notification count on the same screen?

Thanks for posting that but does the weather part work if you dont have a samsung device? Also what if your not on 4.3?
Can you add a similar widget to watch face on stock gear?

You need Gear Manager on your host device to use any Native functions on the Gear, inculding weather updates.

No I will not.
First up, you need to be rooted to get acces to the count..
Second, it´s a completly different thing to create the widget as standalone than trying to implement it in a stock app.

Interesting I do have the gear manager installed on my devices. Like the gear manager icon appears when I Bluetooth connect my device. I still don't get weather updates. Someone was saying you have to have th Samsung accuweather installed.

I have NULL_ 22.1 installed.
I am using the clock + weather widget.
I do have NotiCounter installed.
When I try to place the clock + weather widget and the NotiCounter widget on the same screen, the clock widget gets cut off.
I also am using the dock for my all apps button, tho i am trying to get LMT set up to use it instead.
Thanks for the assistance

I have a Note 2 (i605) and GearManager installed.... the weather widget will not work unless I have the stock TouchWiz clock on one of my home screens. So I just put it on one i never use.... No idea about getting it to work on non Samsung phones, maybe someone has ported that widget?

Yeah I thought there was someone at one point that had the samsung apps and had re authored them so that you could use them with other devices. The search featured has been disabled for some reason on this site so I cant look for it.
Hi,
How can I add the notification icon on my watch face in watch stayler?
Thanks
You can't. What you see is what you get.

You could achieve this with null rom...... there's a function on nova launcher to overlay widgets. I think there's also a gear specific app somewhere in this part of the forum called noticounter, or something like that. Set up using watch styler as your widget on nova then whack the noticounter widget on top. Should do the trick. I hope that's what you're looking for.
Personally I prefer using a zooper widget on my gear set up. Bit more choice in what I can do and it doesn't drain the battery like watch styler. There's probably a way to display notifications through zooper but I've not tinkered with that.
Quick question. I have the dexcom d6 blood sugar monitor. I have found a work around for getting a widget on the watch. I need wearable Widgets to sync to my watch although I'm having an issue. I have the app on the watch and can see my Blood sugar but I can't seem to get the widget. I have looked under galaxy wearable and see the widget on the phone side but don't see it on the watch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
