Widget problems - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello everyone, overall I'm enjoying my Moto G5 plus. An excellent phone. I have one minor quibble. The Timeweather widget reanimates everytime I unlock the phone. This is a small quibble, but I don't like waiting the 2 beats until the widget opens everytime I unlock. I prefer a widget that is just present when I unlock, like the Moto G4 Timeweather widget.
The work around I have attempted is to simply install an older Moto Widget. The Moto G4 widget will not install because it says the package is corrupted. I suspect this is because the .apk is very close to the Moto G5 widget and the system doesn't like it.
I have successfully installed the Moto Z widget. However, when I go to widgets off the home screen, the command center widget is not there!
Any help would be appreciated.

Notifications not showing on Lock Screen

I have a Moto X Style running stock Nougat.
I installed the Moto Display mentioned here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/themes/apk-moto-display-moto-x4-t3682701/page9
And it worked well too, barring the reduced battery life.
So went to Settings -> Apps -> Moto Display. Clicked the ellipsis on the top right and uninstalled the updates.
It returned to the stock lock screen but now I don't see any notifications there. Cleared the cache of the Moto app and restarted the phone as well. Still no go.
I tried getting the Moto Display v3.27 APK from the internet and install it. But the APK wouldn't install for some reason. "The package appears to be corrupt" it says.
Anyone has any pointers?

Show weather on lockscreen

Hey everyone!
My issue is that in my previous phones they all displayed the Google clock + weather info + next alarm in the lock screen, but Mi A1 only shows the clock, is there a way to edit the lockscreen to have it show or download something to do that?
I've looked at the options and there is nothing there :/
Thanks,
Kamefrede
it seem to be because AOD (Always On Display) screen ... its not only lock screen. It seem that due to security reason you can not show any widget here. You can use GLANCE PLUS but I dont know how to show any widget like Chronus on this. If you found a way to do, please let me know.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I didn't find an "official" way to do it, so I installed an xposed module (Lockscreen widgets I believe its called) and removed the default lockscreen clock and replaced it with a 3rd party widget that included weather + clock
finally you just have to install and use chronus from google play store and you will see weather on locked screen in 2 minutes. no need glance no need xposed or whatever else, only chronus.

One Plus 5t NavBar

Hi all,
Is it possible to port the one plus 5t nav bar with the white background on the nav bar to the moto g5 plus as a flashable zip through twrp which doesn't require root and works on the stock rom. I love the feature from the one plus 5t and lg ux software where the background of the navbar is white but I didn't find a way to get it even with root access.

Moto display/Approach function not working!

So I recently replaced my cracked screen (for the second time. Had installed a duplicate screen before as well) and since then my Moto Display feature isn't working
The 'Approach display' feature works but I cannot press the lock icon or the notification icon after that!
Things I tried:
- Restarting the phone
- Clearing Moto app cache
- Switching the flips on and off
I'm running stock Nougat.

Moto / Pie Recents button - vertical vs. horizontal

So I just rebuilt my rooted / stock Verizon G7 after manually applying the latest update, and noticed something weird (to me). The Nova Launcher Prime that I have used for years wouldn't stay the default Home, it kept reverting to the defaut Moto launcher. I made sure Nova was set as default, installed on internal storage and had all appropriate permissions, but it would flip back to Moto after a minute or two. I uninstalled almost every app, because sme people suggested this, but it still happened. I installed several other launchers just to test, but they had the same problem too.
The fix was to freeze/disable the Moto launcher. But this brings us to my problem.
The Recent menu button with the Moto launcher has the cool Pie Recent button where running apps come up horizontally. After freezing the Moto launcher, the Recents come up in the older vertical way. I know some people prefer the older way, but I genuinely prefer the new one. Nova previously let me use the horizontal Recent list, and I am pretty sure (but not positive) that I had the Moto launcher frozen.
Does anyone know how I can get the recent menu back to horizontal? I have GravityBox (P) installed, but this is one of the few things that it doesn't appear to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know this isn't a big deal, the phone works perfectly well and performance-wise, it was a steal for the money. Magisk, TWRP, xPrivacylua, AFWall, GravityBox, Nova and a few other largely aesthetic tweaks make it mine. But this one little thing is really annoying me, and I suspect that a lot of you know what I mean. Sometimes, perfect functionality isn't enough.
