I have this icon on my Nexus 6P desktop appear recently. It links to the Google Now weather card. I do not remember how I got this icon on my desktop. It doesn't appear in the app drawer, so it is not an app, just a shortcut to the card. Does anyone else have this icon and know how they got it?
I noticed this icon just appeared on my Galaxy S7 desktop today, I think... exactly the same thing... have no idea how it appeared on my desktop. It seems that Google is pushing it to some devices or something??... some kind of test perhaps?

Yesterday i noticed a change in DESKTOP VISUALIZER not showing the icon packs any longer. I rooted my phone and all looked OK. I installed CMP player with ASTRO file manager and opened up from within ASTRO and all looked ok. I looked for the CMP icon in the app list and it was not there.
I went to run Titanium backup and the icon was missing from the app list. I went to the market, uninstalled it and installed it again and the icon was still missing from the app list.
Does anyone have any idea what happened or how to fix?
thanks
By chance are you running Launcher Pro? If so, check to make sure it is not a "hidden app" there. I was missing the Music icon and found it was hidden there.
launcher pro
Yes I am running launcher pro. There is nothing checked in hidden apps. HOWEVER I did find the CONNECTED MUSIC PLAYER icon in the app list. I found it when i noticed there were 2 identical "MUSIC" icons in the list. The second icon was the newly installed app. BUT, Titanium backup is still not there. The only thing i can think of is i installed Titanium before I rooted the phone though I did not run anything in the program. I'll try uninstalling it again and rebooting the phone and reinstall. The icon packs are still not showing in DESTOP VISUALIZER.
Try toggling the option to show hidden apps... unless the apps you're looking for do show up in the "hide" list, and are unchecked.
oops
End of Flesh......this is embarassing......I installed the PRO version (key) of titanitum without installing the program itself which is why there was no icon...
I can be dumb sometimes ((((
However, the original problem still exists. Desktop Visualizer allows you to chose an application to put on your homescreen, then allows you to choose an icon to use with the app. It gives you 3 choices of where to get your icons: Image File, App Icon, or Icon Pack. Previously when i choose Icon Pack, about 15 of my installed apps came up in the list. When i choose one of those apps, a window would open showing me a picuture of icons that particular app draws on. I simply selected one of the icons and it was associated with the app i had chosen. Now when I select Icon Pack, i get a message saying no icon packs are installed, which is true, but something changed since those apps using their own icon packs no longer appear. I got some pretty neat icons that way, but am hoping nothing got messed up somewhere along the line. I didn't un-install anything or do anything out of the ordinary that i can remember.
Anyway, thanks for your help...greatly appreciated.

I moved Chrome from the Google folder to the desktop and subsequently removed it from there. Now it no longer shows up in the folder or the app drawer. It is still installed and I can open it if I search for it, but I can't find the icon to place it back on the home screen. I even uninstalled The Update AND Re updated It To No avail. Thanks for any help getting it back
Check your frozen apps on the far right tab under Settings - Application Manager. Unfreeze it. One bug I have noticed so far is if you drag and drop into folders in the app drawer as soon as your restart they dissappear. Best way to add apps to folder is to add them via the plus sign button.
Hey everyone so I just got my one plus 2, its on oxygen os 2.1.0. When I try and add the Google search widget it doesn't show on my screen but if I tap and hold where the widget should be, I get an option to delete the widget. More puzzling is if I tap on the recent apps button I can see the Google search widget. Anyone know what the issue could be?
Very strange. What launcher are you using with your Google widget?
I'm on 2.1 OS and Nova Launcher with no issue.
Whenever I go to add an extra widget my nexus 7 keeps rebooting, has anyone seen this before? I have car widget added on the home screen and it takes up all of the space but when i try to add another widget on the next screen over my nexus immediately reboots. I have also deleted the main widget and tried to add another widget but still the same thing happens. I have notice some of the smaller icon sized widget i can add but anything bigger than that it will reboot on adding and it doesn't even add it at all.

You should try another launcher and see what happens.
It looks like I can't add any app specific shortcut on my home screens.
In Firefox, when I click to add a bookmark to the home screen, nothing happens, no shortcut is created.
And on FB messenger the option to add a chat head shortcut to the homescreen doesn't even show up anywmore.
I tried with stock launcher, lawnchair and Nova, same problem.
Did I miss something?
Btw I just bought that G6 and updated to Oreo right out of the box, so I don't know how it was on Nougat.

Ok I guess the apps need to be updated to use the new method.
No one else has that problem?
