Minimalistic Text widget on Gear - Samsung Galaxy Gear

I installed Minimalistic Text on Gear and phone, created widget on phone, exported, then moved to Gear, but can't figure out how to get Minimalistic Text on Gear to recognize the widget, or figure out how to Import it. I can't figure out how to get to the menu to select Import.
Any help appreciated.
Oh, running null_23 on rooted Gear
EDIT…I figured it out. The buttons were hard to see because of the theme I'm using. Just started poking around and found the Menu and Save buttons.

Created small, transparent shortcut and now i can't find it

i'm running sslauncher on cm10.1 with a galaxy skyrocket
i was trying to make a small, invisible shortcut/widget to overlay on a decoration on my wallpaper so that whenever i clicked it, it would direct to my home screen. i used sslauncher to create the shortcut, and i successfully created it but i can't seem to find it!
any help is appreciated
tap around your screen until you find it, or delete all your data for that app and restart everything. or you could use the same wallpaper you were using when you made the shortcut and click on that area again.

Unable to change icons on launch bar?

Had just spent some time grouping apps in the app drawer when I made an attempt to replace "Internet" on the launch bar with Chrome. It made a folder, which was fine, but now it's stuck that way, with seemingly no way to correct it without wiping HTC Sense data, which I have now had to do!
Pulling the Chrome or Internet icon out of the folder appears to work fine until I complete the gesture. The icon will dump onto the desktop or the bin, but it remains on the launch bar.
I didn't give this a go with any other app, though I can't see Internet in the app drawer which is a first! Is this normal with HTC Sense?
The dock essentially an extension to the app drawer. So when you drag it from the dock to the home screen, it creates a shortcut as if you were dragging it from the app tray.
To remove it from the dock, if that's what you're trying to do, you just move it from the dock to the app tray.
TL;DR - open the app tray, then open the folder, then drag out the unwanted app(s) from said folder.
Haha so simple! Thanks!
Bit weird though, first time I've used a launcher like that.

Root of sdcard is a file called (i think)
HTC_One_WWE_User_Guide.pdf
It's got all sorts of useless information in it.

No problem at all!
It is a bit weird, yeah. Hope you're enjoying your One!

Can not scroll down on some menus

As I am stuck on 4.2.2 at the moment I still can't use the native weather clock which I really like.
I have recreated it perfectly with the zooper pro widget.
Problem is on the location search i can type and find my town but the save button is not in view and it won't scroll so i can select it. I have found this on a few other apps. Is there another way to fix this.
P.S Im on Null07
looking for solution as well. because app was not designed to work in such low resolution/ppi, i think we need some sort of DPI settings like in paranoid android.

[Q] Weather updates not working - and Samsung Helpdesk can't help either!

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!

[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
