I'm on T-Mobile stock Rom. I can't see/find the stock weather app in the App Drawer, in either LG stock launcher, or 3rd party launcher.
I have the stock Weather widget and the Weather widget opens the Weather app fine.. I also see the app in under system settings/apps. I've wiped cache/data from it, but still no luck. I'm beginning to think LG only wants the app to open from the Weather widget itself?
If any T-mobile users out there, if you can answer if you have stock Weather app from stock Rom that would be great. Other variants also welcome.
Thanks

Yeah,. The app itself is only the widgets. I saw it once, but once I launched the app it disappears. The app is there but no icon. Hope this make sense.

Try going to Settings, About phone, Update Center, App Updates and see if it is in the list. It may have to be downloaded.
Same thing on a Sprint V20. The only way to open the stock weather app seems to be via a widget. This is strange. I have a LG G2 which has a very similar stock weather app, and it appears in the app drawer and the widget list.

I was also disappointed to find the weather app isn't standalone. I fixed this by using activity launcher and creating a shortcut to the weather activity. Best part about this method is that I don't need to use LG Home. This will work on all variants.

Great solution, I will try it, thanks!
I can confirm on T-Mobile the icon for the app is completely removed after launching the app. Just noticed this yesterday...

I managed to overwrite the stock weather widget from the Samsung Apps with a different style but i'd like to go back to the original weather widget. Any ideas if this is possible?

if you go to settings-applications-manage applications and choose the widget from there you may see an option which says ''Uninstall updates''
this is how it works in SGS but I am not sure about sgs2. it should work the same. just give it a try...
What warfanax said. I also updated, but the 'new' weather clock was broken - no locations were recognised. I uninstalled and got my old widget back (which is much better because it can be resized).

WHat weather widget is this. I like the umbrella when its raining. Wondering if beautiful widgets have it.
That's the LG UI 3.0 weather.

Does anyone have just the weather app? I don't want the launcher from lg. to use to nova
Then just push the widget.
Installation guide:
1. Choose the right launcher:
- XHDPI:1280x720p
- HDPI: 800x480p
2. Push the one launcher to system/app
2.1 Push both weather apps to system/app
3. Fix permissions (rw-r--r--)
4. Reboot your device

You can't. You have to use the lg launcher to use the weather widget. In looking for the weather widget only that works with any launcher
Try Yahoo Weather, it looks familiar
Hello all,
I recently flashed FORCE ROM and love it. However one thing I do miss is the stock Google calendar widget. The green one that shows the entire month. I've downloaded the one from the play store but that just doesn't cut it. I've pulled the .apk from my stock backup but I cannot get it to install. Anyone know how I can get this widget back? Thanks!

Any luck with this?
I had to disable the widget to get TouchWiz home working again and I can't find the default widget.

You can try the GO Calendar Widget as an alternative!
Ok, after re-enabling calendar widget and rebooting phone, the default month calendar widget is available.
However, as soon as I try to attach it to a home page, TouchWiz home stops working as soon as I access that screen.
All other screens work fine.
Has anyone had a problem where widgets will not update (for example, weather widgets don't refresh and switch widgets don't show a change in state)? I had thought I traced my issue to Be weather, and switched to Beautiful Widgets and after working fine for a day or two it has started to cease updating every few hours and require me to restart the launcher. I noticed this on Apex and Go Launcher.

Some Samsung specific widgets will not update if you are using a different launcher

The widgets I am referring to are third party - BeWeather and Beautiful Widgets appear to potentially "cause" an issue, but once the issue occurs, all widgets are impacted.

My internet access works fine (I still get emails) - and once I restart the launcher it automatically updates. Plus I have played with the network optimizer function (new feature that will go on and off WiFi depending on the ability to get on the internet) on and off and the same thing happens.

The re-update switch in the widgets doesn't work. Updating launchers and widgets to latest versions does not work. All widgets just become unresponsive including switch widgets (I use switchpro). They will perform the function (I.e. on a weather widget the update happens in the background and the switch will perform whatever function its tied to) but it will not display (I.e. the switch widget will not show the change in state and weather widgets will not show the updated weather).

Lol - I hang out with all apple guys. I do know one person with an S5, uses Go Launcher and has this issue with the Accuweather widget and the stock weather widget (which I believe was also powered by accuweather on the back end). I noticed that, regardless of the widget I was using, I still show BeWeather as an active process, so I went ahead and uninstalled it. I still have the issue however.
PS - I have no issues with my Nexus 7 (2012) which runs Kitkat as well.
Interestingly enough, the problem seems to have fixed itself. There were updates to Apex in the meantime, perhaps its that.
My friend with Go Launcher is also seeing the same impact - the issue is gone.

Calendar widget quit updating
Just today, my calendar widget stopped updating. Just says "No upcoming calendar events." I've tried the stock and Agenda Widgets - nothing. I'm running Google Now launcher, but they don't work in Touchwiz Launcher either. I noticed yesterday that the number of items on the widget began to dwindle.
Any fix for this?
Well, trust me I did everything for my Xperia L when I encountered this problem.
What I did for my device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59371718&postcount=2439
Look two three posts before it for more information!
What fixed it was taking battery out for few minutes and putting it back again!
Hey guys, if you stop the cashed process for touchwiz home, the widgets immediately start updating. I'm using a verizon Samsung galaxy s5 4.4.4 kitkat. Just thought I'd throw that in...
Quick question, on my s6 even with nova prime I had the ability to use the Samsung weather widget.
I'm actually quite happy with how stock touchwiz is but randomly i thought lemme install nova, and go to find the weather widget is no longer available. Has anyone got it to work? Or is the only other choice is to use a different app?
I have the s8+
Many thanks.
Do, I can't use the Samsung Weather Widget when running Nova Launcher on S7. I use Beautiful Widgets and select their time and weather widget.

Xwidget appears to be a different weather widget. How does it solve the OPs problem?

It looks almost the same, he can choose the weather app of samsung to opens with the widget
Thank you for a the suggestion guys, just read on a reddit that Samsung is blocking 3rd party apps. I've been messing with beautiful widgets and for now I'm happy with it.
