I'm on my Rooted SM-N900W8 running Official Samsung 4.4.2 with various mods and this one issue is the only problem I've had with it. When I changed the DPI in Build.Props from stock 480 to "phablet" 320 I noticed some times on the lock screen is the AccuWeather widget that won't go away, I can turn the display off and back on and its gone, some times its not. I have already AccuWeather from the device so I don't understand where this widget is coming from or how to disable it?

Figured it out, the AccuWeather is integrated into the stock Samsung Clock they have for the lock screen, when you pull down on the lock screen clock widget, it expands into the AccuWeather widget, the only way was to remove it from the lock screen and find a new clock widget. Found a cool skin for UCCW that I'm using now. Everything is perfect again.
In short, to anyone else who is having this problem, which when I was searching, is quite a few people, you can NOT get rid of it and use the stock clock at the same time, you need to go to Settings, under the Device tab, go down to Lock Screen, and activate the switch for Multi widgets.
From there you can go back to your lock screen, pull down on the clock, long press on the clock/accuweather widget, move it up to the trash can and delete it from the lock screen never looking back. then click the box with the plus in it to add a new widget to the lock screen.
If you're like me and simplicity is key, then once you have your one widget picked, go back to settings, device, lock screen, and turn Multi widgets back off and you will have a lock screen you can't slide side to side with the new widget you picked and no AccuWeather.
I guess the reason it was coming up now is because I have the DPI set so high it's finding there is more room to run AccuWeather widget as if it's already pulled down so this problem was always there. I just didn't notice it until I change my DPI.
I hope this helps anyone else who has this problem, I know there's a lot of people out there because I found more threads of people with problems and not one solution that works. Mine works, but you can't use the nice simple off set clock from Samsung anymore which is kind of a shame, but the UCCW skins have thousands of good ones that are close enough for me.

Hey guys, got a little question i hope you can answer!
I'm after the clock/weather widget in this screenshot from the Shadowfrost theme

I've seen it in a few places.
I understand the clock is the simi clock and the weather is fancy widgets (which i have both) but i'm not sure how to get them looking like they do in the above screeny.
When i try and apply a skin to the fancy widgets 4x1, it doesn't seem to take affect and just looks like it did to start with.
Also, how do you get the long line to part through both widgets? I know you can stretch the simi clock down but it won't let me use the same line to seperate the fancy widget.
Thanks in advance
Matt
you need luncher pro (you can change widget`s size) , place simi clock on the same end, and just stretch over other widgets
Thanks for the reply. I've already tried doing that but it won't let me because the widgets will conflict with each other, won't let me overlap them.
Also, does anyone know why when I apply a skin to beautiful widgets weather, it doesn't work, it just remains the same.

This shouldnt be the case with Launcher Pro.
If you can setup all of your widgets on the screen, while leaving enough space for the clock widget in its default size you should be fine. As all you do then is press, hold and release the clock widget the stretch it over the other widgets.
The only problem you will run into is then if you wish to manipulate one of the other widgets or the clock widget its self you will have to either remove the clock widget entirely first, or drag it to an empty screen, resize it and drag it back once you have made the required changes.
Hope this helps, was probably written in half jibberish.

Oh and make sure your SD card is mounted. All Beautiful skins are downloaded to your SD card, so if it's unmounted you'll be stuck with the standard skin.
Thanks again guys, managed to sort it.
For some strange reason i thought i was already using LauncherPro (got the Ultimate Droid rom). Bought LauncherPro Plus and it worked straight away
Thanks again!

I'm enjoying my N10 but randomly the size of my screen changes. Maybe it's not all that random because it happens when I change orientation BUT it's not consistent. I can get it back to the smaller image by turning the tablet around and opening and closing apps but it's pretty ridiculous and I'm inclined to ignore it but it surely isn't right. I don't seem to find a thread where anyone else is having this problem. I suppose if I changed to a pattern of snowflakes I might not notice it but the snowmen shouldn't be changing sizes. btw I am using ADW Launcher and hope that's not the problem becasue I like it's features.
Anyone?

I used to have the same problem with my nexus 7 and I was unrooted and completely stock running no launchers. So it's not that. But still... It's something lol.
try the app: "Simple Image Wallpaper"... after installation its not under the app drawer but is found by clicking and holding on the main screen, clicking wallpaper, and then selecting "Simple Image Wallpaper" and then just going through the settings. you can also have it change images for when you rotate it so you can have the snow one on landscape and a different one for portrait mode.

Excellent and thanks. The app actually installs under "live wallpapers". It took me a minute to find it.
maybe i'm missing something, but is there a way to align the widgets in their collapsed state to one side of the screen or the other, instead of always being top centered?
I like a very minimalistic lock screen, usually with a picture of some sort. I'd like the widget to not cover up the subject of the image, so I'd like to be able to align that widget to the left side of the screen preferably. I understand that when expanded it will take up the entire screen, but when it's collapsed, I just want it to sit in the upper left corner.
I'm running a CM11 nightly, but have had similar issues with the stock touchwiz roms, if that makes a difference.

That's not possible, unfortunately. The best you can do is find a widget that doesn't cover the parts you want exposed, but the widget itself week always be centered (unless you modify the source code yourself).
ok, thanks.
really sucks that it's like that, to me it should be the same as a home screen, just drop it wherever you want it...
I wanted to know if there any way to reduce the home screen weather widget height, it takes lots of space. If I could reduce it I could put another line of apps shortcuts. But on the other side I don’t want to remove the weather widget.
To my knowledge you can't do that.
What you can try is placing a Zooper Widget on the lockscreen. That way you can decide where the information is placed within the widget (You can move the text and all). (If you place a second widget, you can delete the 'main' one and the second one becomes the main lockscreen widget.) For instance, mine looks like this: (This week)

Or you can try a lockscreen replacer.
I couldn't for the life of me find that thumbtack icon / button which is suppose to be next to the X on the Top of the Action Memo. This will help me put them up on a screen as a widget. check the third image to the right. Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, I'd love to just go to one of my screens and just start writing. But I can't find that thumbtack button. Here, i found a better picture. Do you see it on yours?
Nope, weird. Closest is long pressing the note within SNote and it gives me an option to send to home as a shortcut...but no pin.
I just saw a similar post in another thread... are you using the stock TW launcher? If you are using a replacemnet launcher like Nova, or Google now Launcher, you will lose the thumtack pin feature in action note. Action notess can only be put onto a TW homescreen.
Doesn't work on default launcher either just tried.

Yeah, that's what I thought it was before I posted this thread. Unfortunately, that darn button won't show up in stock launcher either. I'm thinking it's a different apk??
Maybe ? My Tmo firmware update already hit soon as I turned on don't know if it was there prior.
Ok I got it. From reading a similar thread, they're saying you need a reboot for the pin to show once you switch to touchwiz. I did not do the reboot so it was still missing even with touchwiz.
I'm also going to let nova launcher devs know this issue so they can fix it. For now I'm just going to use the action memo in the minimized form.
Did you get an answer from them?
For the last couple of weeks I have noticed that the weather / temperature reading has been wrong.... I went into the settings and checked (see pic below) the appropriate box however still no update. I have even turned on the GPS and sync.
I have also noticed the rejected / missed calls (telemarketers) would attached one of my contact's picture to the number.... In the missed call log. Any one else having this issue

For mycase is little bit different with you, my weather can't show on lock screen.
But google around, and find a way, enable location, and then del all city line under weather app
then tap again the weather widget select the detected location, and i find the weather can show on lockscreen.
I wish this method can solve yours too.

Add a weather widget to the homescreen, click on it to see if it's the right location.
Actually no need to add a weather widget on lockscreen, enable it under
setting > lock screen > show information > weather (tick it) it will enable weather widget on your lockscreen.
But the widget never updates on its on.
Also must have GPS on and hit refresh for it to update to accurate temperature.
