The only launcher that can add widgets is Go Launcher, and that only if you install the widgets apps for the launcher. The other launchers redirect to the Fire settings page.

Thanks for clearing that up bud

Widgets are working with the Google now launcher, as an user app.

Thanks for that information, sd_shadow! :good::good::good:

or with nova... you just have to move it to priv-app

I finally managed to get google now launcher working, now I want to add the clock widget to the home screen. the built in deskclock is in data/app and so is google now launcher. Which of these do i have to move to system? and should it be in /priv-app?
And if I now move google now to system, will i lose access to it again?
edit: do i move the whole folder(s) or just the apk? and i'm manually setting permissions to -rw-r--r--

which deskclock app?

I just re-flashed the stock firmware, so i'm trying it from the start again.
The clock app that comes stock.

stock amazon clock? that's not going to have a widget option.

Hmm, i thought it was the stock android clock. It's the same on my moto e. and it has widgets. How do we check if an app has widgets?

Amazon modifies everything, I'm sure the widget features were stripped out of all stock apps

stock 4.4 Clock from
Stock Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher & Google Apps Extracted by MyDeSTiNaTe
works, if you move to /system/app (rw-r--r--) no folder, reboot

this one also works http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/clock/clock-4-0-1-1906568-android-m-android-apk-download/

I thought i'd keep it simple if i could just use the built in app. But since I have to install anyway, decided to give Chronus a shot. If it isn't working out, i'll install the android clock. Thanks so much!

[Q] Can I put apps on my Rom or does it have to be stock?

I Could i put some apps on my rom i am making like Go SMS or Go Launcher ,camera 360 e.t.c and how can i do that and is it possible to remove apps like LG Home???
Why not ? It is a fully working rom, like stock - and you can install apps on stock rom, can you ?
So don't worry about it, knock yourself out (metaforically speaking )
Get them from google play store

In order to put apps to your current rom, push the desired apk file to /system/apps/
and change its permissions to "rw-r--r--" (same permissions as the other system apps)
(Root access and root file manager are required)
You can simply add and remove apps to system/app, but remove only the ones that can be removed (search for the list) and add them in the format: com.bkablabla-1.apk, otherwise they might not be updated. And you might need some libs, for not to get fc's...
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
have pressed thanks button, do i need linux os to change all these libs and other stuff or will it work on win7 and where do i download the libs because i am soon going to start to make my very own rom but needs a lot of help because i am new and do not know what to do
thanks
just remember not to put paid apps in if youre gonna be distributing your rom.....

Inverted Blue Google Play Store 3.9.16

Here is the new Google Play Store with my twist of black and blue. Simply install as you would any other zip and enjoy! As always, make a nandroid back up just in case!

Thanx for this.
Find it hard to see the 'search' and 'installed apps' icons on top right hand side but otherwise looks good.
I see what your saying will make darker on the next update thank you!

Was in daylight when i wrote the above post but in the evening the icons show up better.
Can i suggest you make the icons lighter (rather than darker) like the three dots for the settings menu.
Sure no problem, have classes starting soon but will get to it, thanks!

u don't need s3 launcher to be installed. it works with apex and nova, too. just copy accuweather_widget_files.zip of s3 launcher.and then install the link as a normal apk.
and of course u can use both 4*2 and 4*1 together with s3 launcher.

p.s.: accuweather main apk may fc when u try to add city. but finds your current location well. also u can add city by "edit" and then "search" in city list screen menu..

Your pixel luncheer must be system app. If not then move apk to system - app- create folder name pixel launcher (permission 755)- move apk in this folder( permission 644)
Use root explore

It doesn't have pixel launcher is not in system level so do the same procedure mentioned in. Earlier post
I'm having this problem as well. GPS is on all the time, launcher is a system app and has location permission. Google Now is active and all weather related options in the feed are turned on. I've tried everything but neither the weather nor the microphone icon show. Tried on almost every N rom out there for bacon. Any ideas?
No such issues here. Yes. GPS must be ON for weather display. I use Black moded pixel launcher from Huawei Nexus 6P thread. Flashing the mod zip copied the apks in /system/app folder.

Video review :- P launcher MOD
https://youtu.be/GBm8cdylqT0
This is a "port" of the Pixel Launcher from the P developer preview. It hardly has any changes, just a non-transparent dock and some more rounded edges
This will NOT install on top of any previous versions of the Pixel Launcher! You have to remove previous pixel launcher before installation.
For workable Google now left slider and AT glance wheather option you need to move app as system app, for that use any Root explore to move app in system (shown in video) or use any root method u knows to make the app As system app.
You can theme the app using subtratum swift black theme available at playstore it looks nice.
