[Q] Cannot open widgets only get the icon - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I removed the stock clock and downloaded digiat clock, and a few other ones. When I hold the home screen and choose the widget, it just opens the settings for that widget, does the same for android weather. How the hell do I actually get it to display on my home screen?!! I don't just want the icon there obviously

I don't own this phone yet, but from my experience with Jelly Bean on my current phone, you should find your widgets in the App Drawer.

Seeking Weather Widget

In search of a pure Weather only Widget...I like the Weather portion of Beautiful Home Weather, but do not need the clock option - does anyone know how to disable to clock or an application with only the weather portion....
Weatherbug Elite has a nice widget that displays weather which is what I use.
The Weather Channel... they have three to four types of widgets available
Try snow storm from the market

i use "Weather Widget - Free" by Android Apps. it supports different skins / themes and it can display a single weather icon with temp. i bought beautiful widgets, but prefer this app.
I use Beautiful Widgets BUT DO NOT USE THE WIDGET.
You can go to the options and have the temp show in your notification bar. That way when you click on it you get the cool animations and forecast/current weather from BW, but you get all the space on your home page by not using the widget... kinda the best of both worlds.
I never understood needed a clock widget... utterly pointless in my not so humble opinion.

[Q] Circle Launcher w/ ICS

I upgraded my TFP to ICS and then downloaded Circle Launcher because I wanted to try it out. However the instructions say to add a widget long press on the home screen to add it as a widget. I already know that this doesn't work in ICS, and that you open the app drawer and there is a widget section, but the Circle Launcher is not under the widget section.
Does anyone know how to get around this? Or do I just have to wait until Circle Launcher makes a change in their app?

App Icon

I deleted 2 apps from my Tablet but the icons are still there though they are no longer working.
Is there a way to completely erase the icons?
Thank you for your advice.

Are you saying these icons are showing in the app launcher? Or in the respective widget/wallpaper menus?
They still appear in the Home Screen but .when I click them, they say "Application is not installed".
The 2 apps are downloaded from the Market but deleted later.
press and hold on the icons and drag them to the trash bin that shows up on the screen. voila!
Done!
Thanks a lot.

It's Included in the rom touch and hold your screen until widgets appear
scroll through the widgets and you will see it...
if you don't see it try Reflashing The Boot.img

It's available only when you choose Sense Full in installation.
Removed the current weather clock widget, re-add the widget:
long press on the blank area (after you removed the widget), under widgets choose Clock (HTC), you should see five pages of clock style, the weather clock 4x1 in the 5th pages (see attached)
Edit: I notice the 4x1 clock widget is too high on the screen... will fix this next week hopefully.

Google weather widget

Has anyone figured out how to add the Google weather widget to the stock Huawei Home launcher?
When I try to add it it doesn't do anything. Works fine on other launcher like Nova or Evie.
I found a workaround, there is an app called Frog Weather in the app store that opens up Google weather.
Same function as the shortcut which Huawei home can't create for some reason!!
I always use the standard huawei weather widget.. Works great. What's the difference with Google widget?
Not a massive difference. I just like the Google weather app better than accuweather, that's all.
I am using "Another widget" you can download the app from the play store. It looks the same as the pixel 3 at a glance widget but has more functionality.

Long press on home screen and goto widget & select weather icon then you will get weather widget in home launcher.

Thanks for that but that doesn't seem to work for me on any Huawei phones. Somehow the launcher is preventing the widget from being created. But the Frog Weather app is a good workaround.
