LG Optimus 2x weather/home widget

I love it, installed it on my hd2.now I've got a question.would it be possible in any way to theme it to make the clock look more like the sense one? It's just that the clock looks so plain.

Hmm

When I try to install it on my X10 i get a error message, "A problem has occurred when the package was analyzing"

Any thoughts? (I try to install it via root explorer)

such a shame, that this cool widget doesnt use gps/net based locations... or am i just too blind to find it???

it does use net locations, but in my case it picked some weird location instead of my town and there is no refresh interval, news are also cut out from this widget as I could tell (it is 3-in-1 widget, but news do not work)

Got the way to make Y! News in the Today Briefing widget section WORKING!!!!

Install included apk, it's needed for this Today Briefing news section in the widget to work, it got the settings page needed!!

EDIT: I MANAGED TO GET IT WORK!!!!!

How-to:
1. Uninstall any TodayBriefing.apk
2. Install NewsWidget.apk (this must be installed first or you'll face FC)
3. Install TodayBriefing.apk
4. Enable TodayBriefing and select all sections and tap on Y! News and configure it to your liking.
5. VOILAAAA!!!! ENJOY The fully working widget.

EDIT: The refresh button still not working (sorry for that), I'll try to make it work ASAP. Stay tuned!

Please comment if this method working OK. Because mine is OK. ^^

Does this also fix the weather update issue?<>

NM I need to READ, lol

I'm using it since yesterday night on my htc Desire and yesterday all was working great... But today morning it still shows night time, not daytime. The weather forecast is working fine and it updates without any problem, but it's 3PM and it's a sunny day outside and in spite of that my widget still has lit street lamps and the moon on it.

I tried adding another city and that other city has the greener day-time widget working just fine.
Removing and adding my city again didnt solve it.

Any ides what might be causing this? Anyone with the same problem?
Maybe I should move?

Thanks

@All: you're welcome...

Regarding the misleading forecast, how about trying to clear the data (best using Titanium Backup to do that) from the TodayBriefing program and clear all cache using App2SD Pro.... Maybe it helps....

I've seen a screenie somewhere (I think on XDA, but not in this thread, I don't think) that shows an Accuweather button next to the Refresh. Is that someone's mod of this apk?

That's a Go! Weather. The skin is mimicking this widget...

I think you mean this:

That is the original Weather & Clock that only works on Optimus 2x for now.

That's it. Thanks for the info.

@Crescendo
Thanks. Go Weather looks similar, but I can't get it to work, so I used their skin for Weather & Toggle widget, until something better comes along.

skynet77 · Feb 6, 2011

So guys, does this cool widget works on 2.1?
Or just 2.2 and up?

Mirthel · Feb 7, 2011

Only on 2.2 up sadly

Do you have full dump of the current system version? Maybe I can make it work...

Sorry for double post but I finally have been able to port the original Weather & Clock widget. This one is using 4x2 by default.
