Well there's plenty of apps available in the play store, and most of them come with widgets. Try a few of them, you'll probably like them!

Already had a look , and I am not a fan of them . Not interested in third party apps , I want the stock S4 weather widget back that is why I posted this thread to figure out what has happened to it and get it back .

This happened to me, the weather widget disappeared, i was using new zealands metservice one and was stumpped for days....
So, have you recently moved it to sdcard in the application manager recently as that was what i did and it disappeared, when i moved it back device storage and then the widget was back.

THANK YOU ! you have led me in the right direction , turns out I have disabled the widget in the applications section and have completely forgot about it . Also the weather widget only works with the TouchWiz not the Nova Launcher .

[Q] missing/lost home pages...

i posted this in ppc geeks thread as well (i'm stating this because i got fussed at for 'double posting' lol!) but couldnt find a solution to my problem, anywho...my son was trying to help me work the self camera, in the process, a pop-up came up asking if we wanted to use either of 2 programs that were listed in the pop-up (for the life of me i cant remember the name of the 1st one, i think it was something "messaging'' and the 2nd one was something with the letters "tw" in it. he clicked on the 1st offering and then clicked on the bottom that stated something to the effect of 'use this program from now on...' the problem is that by his clicking on whatever he clicked on, i now have all my apps on one page and i have to 'drag' that one page up to access them, they are located on a grey tab thingy....I DONT WANT THAT! i want my apps to be spread over the like 3-4 pages like i had it in the beginning but dont know how to undo the damage my son did...i also had a page of bookmarks and they are now gone ;-( can anybody tell me what we did wrong and how to fix it? i really want my apps back and all my bookmarks and homepages!!!
I think u accidentally changed the default launcher, to fix this u can go to settings-applications-manage applications-scroll to touchwiz launcher and then click on it and then click clear defaults. Click the home button and that popup will show again, this time choose tw as ur deafault. Another way is to download the free app home switcher .

ok...did all that, but it says no defaults set and clear defaults cant be clicked on ;-( i can click on clear data and force stop only!
Hmm thats weird, r u rooted? If u are can u send me a screenshot using shootme? Ur homescreen sounds like stock android so I figured that was the prob, but maybe im wrong. If u can, do a factory reset, but if u dont want to do that then try using a home replacement such as launcher pro which can be downloaded from the market and see if u like how that looks.

Also if you download another launcher like launcher pro... and then run that app, the next time you press the home button you'll et the prompt asking which homescreen, and you'll be able to go bck to the twlauncher again... but this time, make that ur default, or don't check the default mark and have none.

That's strange it works for me. Have you ensured that it's actually installed? sometimes my market says it will install but it's never there.
Edit: sorry, I should read more carefully. Well I don't know what to tell you then. Try a different launcher maybe? I'm using zeam

Download location of apps since ICS

Hi guys, I have two issues that I really need your help with...
1, since installing ICS all of my apps that I download save in my Applications screen and my Home screen, how can I stop them saving in my home screen?
2, since buying the phone I have always seen the message ERROR!: I/O No Root Permissions.. does anyone know what this means and how I rectify it???
thanks
James

its the market putting a shortcut on the homescreen, it isnt installing them there, go into the play store - settings - and untick automatically add to homescreen
was the phone new or 2nd hand?
Thanks Richie....
What you suggested for the shortcut issue worked a treat, and thanks!
The phone was brand new on the 3 network

My phone system is OMNI 4.4.2.
I noticed this too, but only with some of the icons.
Looks like it does that with every icon from apps that have been transferred to the SDcard.
I then tried to backup the home screen with "MyBackup Root", so I can restore it afterwards, but apparently, this feature doesn't like 4.4.x roms...

Yes ,if your apps have been installed in Device storage ,it will not happen.But the icons of apps have been moved in SDcard will Disappear.
I had an issue where all of my widgets vanished between Omni updates.

wow,you're great.My phone is running OmniRom 4.4.2- NIGHTLIES.
I had icons vanish at random, and widgets resize themselves just now, but that might be GEL acting up.

Has the problem been solved?
No, not yet.
You may use another launcher (like Nova) while it gets fixed.
