clock/weather widget - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone please recommend a clock/weather widget that will be centered on the home page. I must have tried 8 apps and none worked.
Thanks

You can center any widget if the launcher allows you to resize the area its in. The default launcher that comes with this phone lasted about 10 minutes before I replaced it. Look at Apex or Nova see example
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",

Weird I have the same problem. In the past I've used Transparent clock and weather Widgets or Fancy Widgets and now the weather part of the widget does not show up, frustrating.
Edit: Transparent clock and weather works now w/ 5.1.0!

Thanks for the info bro but I was trying to use the Google now launcher. If my search turns up nothing maybe I will switch. Which launcher of closer to the Google now launcher.
Does either offer a Google cards page?

We're in the same boat as the initial iPads, it's scaled up for a screen.
Example - News and weather, googles own, now needs to be scaled so that the widget can be a 5x1 or 5x2, etc.
We've got 5 spots across and the N6 stock, and they didn't yet account for it.

I'm using the GNL with a Zooper widget (taken from the LG Flex I believe) and there is no issue with centering.

Calendar widget in Android?

One of the main functions of my current smart phone is PIM functionality. I like to have my calendar up front. For example, this is my current home screen (via SPB Mobile Shell for WinMO):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just a small amount of calendar, but shows my next two upcoming appointments.
I haven't seen any Android screen shots showing such a screen. Anyone know if there are widgets for any of the Android home screens to havef a calendar showing?
The rest of the items on the screen are links to my most commonly used things.
Agenda Widget
I use Agenda Widget that ties in with google calendar. It provides widgets for a plethora of X by Y sizes.
ByteWrencher
I use Pure Calendar Widget
Hey man, your photobucket image got deleted. However, +1 on the Pure Calendar Widget. It's very nice, and very customizable. Though I wonder why nobody has made a live wallpaper of the calendar with your appointments floating in the background. Sigh, if only I were a developer
Calwidget
simple. no scroll. text and back ground color/transparency configurable.
+1 to Calwidget! Very good app
Wow, Calwidget is Perfect!
I am currently using Pure Calendar, and its great IMO. Also using adw launcher so its scrollable. Really its about fully customizable. I've only used a couple of other calendar apps, when I found this one I stopped looking.

do you use some task killer?because this happend to me too and i discovered that my task killer was killing the widget and thats why it wont update. if you have some task manager, killer or something like that, uninstall it asap.
I've changed to Launcher Pro and original weather widget does not work anymore.
Now I use WF Clock Widget, and It's less cool, but rocks, and works fine for me.
Yeah yeah it was task killer fault hahha. But nvm I've deleted the apk because drained my battery.
I'm using adw 1.3.3 and push appwidgetpicker.apk (search xda for the app) to system/app, set permission to rw-r-r. Reboot, add widget and now you can use stock widgets

hi, for me this is the best weather widget i've seen so far but i have owains ics with
Apex launcher and could manage this weather app to work,
the problem lies in the widgets, the only widget that works is 2x2, the 4x3 and 4x4 does not work, it tells me "problem loading widget", what can I do?
i've uploaded the app here : http://minus.com/mSs1h9aUw/

Disabling Lockscreen weather notification possible?

I think its crazy that one cannot take the weather widget off the lockscreen. I mean, you can but then the temperature in the taskbar goes away with it or as do all notifications like texts and emails. I think my lockscreen looks like crap with the big ugly box displaying the weather.
There's no weather widget on my lock screen. Are you running a custom ROM?
Gotta love first posters ....
What phone, what variant (carrier) and what ROM (if at all) and /or third party app are you using?
Handy tip - as they say - "more info works best and gets better answers quickly"
Can't seem to post a screenshot of it here but no matter which weather app i download it puts a weathere widget bar on my lockscreen right under the clock. I have a nonrooted n6 from Motorola with a verizon sim in it. No matter which weather app i use they all work the same as in, if you want to display the temperature in your taskbar, it will have that ugly ass widget with it on the lockscreen. Sucks.
If you mean that you're using a notification to show the weather then yes, it will show up on your lock screen. That's how Lollipop works, it shows notifications on the lock screen.
It's not a widget...

Pretty sure this is what he's talking about. Ya, looks kinda ugly, but like they said, its how LP works.
I am sure as more xposed modules are made and released, someone will figure out a way to remove just the box.

Cannot believe a phone as customizable as an n6, one cannot simply drag that feature into a garbage can or something.

Android 9 - disable google search buttom search bar

There must be another way??
I would like to get rid of it too.
But I also dislike the date/weather-widget on top of the homepage. How can I disable this one!?!?

You can use lawnchair launcher.
You can install "lawnchair launcher" from Google Play Store. You must also install lawnfeed apk with this launcher. You can download lawnfeed apk from apkmirror website. Use any icon pack with this launcher you like. I prefer cleanandroid icon pack.

You need to disable Google app from settings. You can rid only the weather display though. Date still is displayed.
I stopped the Google app, and the weather display is gone now.
Ok. But now I still do not want to see the other items: date and Google search bar.
(Why is this designed in Android 9?)
Edit: Mission impossible. A launcher (Nova) solves these problems.

Question Widget help

Got my phone debloated yesterday and started adapting it to my preferences.
I was very happy with the look and widget functionality on my P30 Pro and ideally would like to replicate it.
Here is a screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am using Nova and an icon pack called 7null, but this is no longer available on the appstore - and can't find it on my phone.
Not a big deal.
The widget showing the time is Zooper which unfortunately is not longer available. I love this widget as it's extremly customisable - I chose to have it connected to my google calender so it always shows the next event. Phone temp not important. Tapping the clock takes me to the alarm, tapping calender opens google calendar.
I tried to transfer the app and downloaded it as APK from the web, but nothing happens when I try to install.
Anyone know if it's possible to install or if there is another widget that has a similar look/funtionality?
The next calender event is number 1 for me. The option on the phone right now just showing the entire calendar month.
thanks!
Reinstalled the Vivo store which enabled me to install the APK - now I just need to figure out how to remove the widget name without losing the app names
try this
go to setting->Home screen,lock screen & wallpaper->home screen settings->icon style,size & name->turn off show icon name
tried that but that removes app names which I need. I just want the widget name gone. Never had widget names displayed on other phones
