Google News & Weather working. Need Root. - Nexus 5 Themes and Apps

Its very easy to get the new Google News & Weather app working on the Nexus 5, all you need is root and a root enabled file explorer. First off, youre going to need to use that root file explorer to ho and uninstall/delete the Google News & Weather widget. It should be found in /ststem/app/. Then youll need to reboot. Now download and install the Google News & Weather app. After this, it should be working. Oh, btw, heres the apk http://goo.gl/Iivbtc

No need to remove the widget. Just download and install the APK. Works Fine!!
Cheers

Actually like the app. Its like a condensed version of Google Now. Thanks braaahhh

I just install it normal like other apps.

cool. many told me that it wasnt working on the n5

Yeah it works fine on Mahdi ROM. Just installed as normal APK. No need to remove the widget already installed. Thanks Simms.

google news and weather got updating in the play store.. who, with a nexus, can see it there? i updated via the online play store but it isnt seen in my play store app.

I had no issue with SlimRom except it said it wasn't available in my country(The US, weird right?). I just downloaded the .apk and installed it.

update it via the second link provided at the bottom of the page. odd thing, same as on the n4. but i opened the online playcstore via aosp browser, and updated my n5 and installed on my n4 that way.

it says its compatible with all my devices, 3 nexus and a sgs4. none of them see it except the sgs4. but installed it on all of them

just showed up in my play store app.

I'm liking this Google. Not making these apps mandatory and putting them in the market.
example: Car Dock, Gmail, YouTube, etc...

Don't show up as an update seems like a new different YouTube app.
Yeah before it was part of the gapps package... This is such a win win... Smaller roms/ gapps packages. Easier to pick and choose.

Running CM6
I just installed it on cm 6. Below are the steps I followed.
1) uninstall your youtube using titanium backup.
2) reboot your phone
3) install youtube from market
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Try removing old one with titanium... then unmounting your sdcard then install... make sure u have space.
Hope that helps.
I'm running cm6 nightlies and I just installed it from the market and it worked fine, didn't remove old one before or anything. Oh, and yea it didn't say it was an update but it did indeed replace the old youtube app.
running cyan6 and installed with no prob. it replaced my old one considering it wasnt an update but a new app. looks pretty nice
WHOA...I LOVE this app now...the fact taht videos play without going into full screen is clutch.

+1 you need to reboot after uninstallation.
Odd, I just installed it no problem. It wasn't an update though. Just took over old version.
The new version is an update to the current YouTube, has new features.
I'm having issues installing it, gives me package not signed error.

im running cm6 nightly 204 and wouldnt install until i uninstalled old youtube and rebooted my phone. after doing that worked great. i love the new app i was using only the website on my nexus but now i think ill switch back to the app.
Hmmm having same problems as other users described, but then on a stock N1 (FRF91). Can't uninstall old client because of no root acces. When installing new client installation fails. Also after rebooting the phone.. What can I do?

Same problem here (N1 FRF91 Vodafone-Spain).
Seems that there is no solution at the moment (for non root users).
It works on MIUI 10.15
Loving this new youtube app, a very nice improvement. Thanks for posting this, I wouldn't have known for a while otherwise... it wasn't showing a youtube app installed on the miui rom I'm running. Installed over the existing one with no problems.

It's very slow on my Wildfire. Does someone have the APK of the previous version which came with the 1.37 ROM (with tabs)? Or is there another way to revert back?

I've tried the latest market also(the one at first post), and i'm now back to latest official market:
Go to Applications ---> Manage applications --> Market --> Uninstall Updates
Now you're back on first market(without auto-update), time to get back to the latest one. Open this market and browse a little bit.
After that, open a taskkiller(don't know if inbuild taskmanager works, I guess it does) and go to settings. Enable 'Show system processes', and go back to the taskkiller. Then Kill the apps 'market' and 'market updater'. Open the market again, and you've got the market with tabs and auto-update.
----
Above worked for me, I can't garantee it's working for you, but I hope it does
Maybe a little note: When browsing on the old market(without tabs), the sync logo appeared in notification bar. I think that meant he was updating the market again.

Any alternate links to this RUU?
My ISP is blocked "403 forbidden". Hate Comcast.
Well, this might not be big to anyone else, but this update has a significant fix as far as I'm concerned: L2TP IPSec VPN connections would not work with the ROM that shipped on the phone.
It works now!
Thank you SO much!

Still 403 forbidden on this link as well :/
The alt download link will be a temporary link based off your session.
Just go to the Chinese web site and click on the link that, when you hover over it, says something like "...[P05IMG]Mecha...".
I don't mean to scare anyone, but I just need to put this out there because it would simply kill me if someone else suffered because of my inaction:
If the download isn't 400MB then cancel it immediately - do not run it. No joke, I was literally passing out at my computer a month ago downloading one of the earlier T-Bolt RUUs and accidentally downloaded the 115 installer or something. My laptop touchpad was sensitive so I accidentally ran the installer. About a week later I started getting my keys logged and a Gmail account deleted (that I have gotten back thanks to a contact at the company). This can't be a mere coincidence.
It's not a major concern - just click the link in the area that one fellow poster demonstrated in a post on the last page. That's the link you want to click - do not click any others and you'll be fine.
Was just a matter of time before someone would build a malicious version of the image with some crap in it. Kinda funny sometimes how we're all anal about security but we trust an image from a chinese website.

It's simply not possible to flash anything but signed images until you have s-off (perm root). In other words, if this flashes properly, it's real. If you want to understand why, read up on asymmetric cryptography and PKI.

Droid Tips
found a way to download apps from market that works (at least in puerto rico)
1. as of today june 12, search (via google, not market) appbrain 6.02 (or latest version) and download it
2. register (it seems to use for default your google account)
3. look for apps and enjoy (it redirects you to android market but this time wotks)
edit
it seems that it does not work for all apps. did not work for aldiko nor trillian but got to download a bunch of other apps
Why the hell are some countries or regions are blocked from downloading even the free applications. Is there a concept of developed and 3rd world countries in stupid Android Market (which even doesn't allow to update flash player!!!).
Can some body explain the genius in the google?
Simple answer
settings> applications> allow unknown
MOD EDIT: Link removed - no warez!
Thanks at least you gave an alternative but my question is why some regions/ countries blocked?

i managed to download the apk from google using a chrome extension, but i get the error "there was a problem parsing the package".
i tried to download it several times to make sure i am not trying to install a corrupted file, but every time the error persists. as i search the internet i found that maybe the old application might cuase the problem, but I haven't rooted my tablet yet! (and I don't want to).
is there anyway to install this?!

so you mean by default Google play can install this app even when the device isn't rooted? (that's why it is required to reboot, to complete the update in description so?)
