Hey xda members, was wondering if you had any issues with app widgets updating in real time on Oreo?
Next Launcher is my default UI and Beautiful widget as my default clock, the other widget I have an issue with is Weather Live.
My phone is currently on Deluxe ROM 8.3 (International note 8).
Both of these apps don't update the time which is a real frustration, I have cleared cache data etc but still no successful outcome.
Have also searched online for answers but none that work.
So, "help me XDA, yre my only hope"
Thank you in advance for your time and effort people, look forward to hearing from you soon ???
I use zooper widgets, I am on 7.1.1, and sometimes, very few times, the widgets do not update

Hey guys, a few days ago, I updated from Cyanogen5.07 T5 to 5.07 DS. After updating, I noticed more than a few of my apps weren't showing up under Settings>Applications. Weird, I know.
So to fix this, I wiped, reflashed. While re-installing the apps I had on my phone, I tried to download a very particular app: Flipclock medium. After various searches through market for "Flipclock", "clock", "flip", and "medium", I still could not find the app.
I tried a variation of the app, retro flip clock widget, but the clock freezes constantly and stops moving. I would have to remove the widget and replace it again. Obviously this isn't a viable solution.
Additional notes:
I have tried Weather Widgets Donate and Weather Widgets (yr.no). Neither one will keep from freezing. I also know about the 4x2 flipclock widgets that have shown up on market but I do not like the look of these and do not wish to bother trying them.
In conclusion:
Does anyone know if this clock freezing is an issue with CM 5.07 DS?
Does anyone know if it's just me that can't see flipclock medium on market?
Does anyone have an existing APK of flipclock medium (it's a free app)?
Please answer asap, thank you.
Anyone? Really looking for help on this..
Also tried Beautiful Widgets which worked for a while but for no reason, started to freeze for me again. Also generated a lot of lag after a while, as well as showing a force close notification even when there were no Beautiful widgets present on screens.
Hi,
My wife got a Milestone some weeks ago and we've noticed that the clock widget keeps getting late (the system clock is always perfectly in time) if the phone is inactive for some time or if it's been used a lot. I've installed another clock widget and the same thing keeps happening. I've tried both widgets on my Samsung Vibrant and this doesn't happen. Did this happen to anyone else?
thanks
Rafa

Fancy Widget
There another clock and weather widget called Fancy Widget on the Android Market. I've used that widget on my Motorola Milestone and it works fine.
We've tried 2 clock widgets already and both had the same trouble.
We've just realized that all clock related apps are progressively getting late. The phones' stock clock is always on time, but all other apps are late. Any thoughts on where the issue is?
We´ve tested without the task killer and the issue persists. I was starting to think this could cpu related, but I think that´s impossible, otherwise there would be thousands of Milestone users complaining about this.

This doesnt happen to me...
I have used several clock widgets from the market and various roms.
How much is the time drift?

The time drift is gradual. It starts with 1 minute and if it can go up to 10...but then if you lock the phone and then unlock it the system updates the time to the correct time.
Has anyone been successful at adding weather widgets to the Nova home screen? Is it possible for updates without tethering?
I searched the topic several places, but have been unable to find a clear answer.

I installed Android weather & clock and sense analog clock widget and both work fine. Have to manually configure town and disable all GPS and things.

I went through quite a few to find a widget that displayed ok on the small screen. Eye in Sky was decent but I'm currently using Beautiful Widgets.
To my knowledge you must be tethered for third part widgets, otherwise you have to use the stock Weather widget.
Hello!
I recently downloaded the Next 3D Launcher and found it really nice and I really was considering getting its full version despite its unreasonably high price.
However theres a few annoying issues I faced. One of which was that the widgets I placed on the homescreen lags! One example was that when I was scrolling my notes on the notes widget, the scrolling was really laggy, it also happens to my other widgets such as my calender widget etc. Then I recall having the same issue long time ago when I was using the Go Launcher.
I am using a HTC One and yes I have tried checking and unchecking the Hyper fluency and System Persistent options where none of which helped making the widgets smoother. I also cleared my Sense homscreen already. Could there be anything else I could do to make scrolling through my widget smoothly in Next Launcher?
Has anyone else had problems with widgets?
I have two widgets that act flaky:
wifiwidget - supposed to show current wifi connection, it's flaky.
Also use to turn on/off/switch wifi connection. (which works)
screen on widget - widget to force the screen on. doesn't seem to work at all.
It's handy for when I"m eating or something - and way easier than digging through menus.
Any other personal favorite widgets? big screen ones (like full month calendars)
are quite nice on the MIX.
I have the following working on the EU ROM (TWRP'd, Su'd and Xposed)
WSJ widget
NY Times widget
Newton Email inbox
Dark Skies weather
Fenix (Twitter)
All are working well, after a factory reset and re-rooting ( I was getting tremendous G Play FC alerts)
How is your Mix set.up?
Cheers

widgets that update are getting frozen by the stupid battery saving and security measures built into MIUI. freeze those apps and/or follow the instructions on forbes and talked about in various threads to make sure you get instant notifications. its the same concept.
can't wait till someone comes up with a pure android build so i can get rid of MIUI
