[Q] Widgets aren't available after install - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

When I install an app that is just a widget or has widgets that come with the program they don't show up in the widget list. This has happened before after I flashed a rom. Only the apps I restored from titanium backup would show up in the widget list. And some widgets that I would add to the home screen would disappear after a reboot. Eventually it just stopped doing all this but it has started happening and I'm not sure what's causing it. Any ideas on how to solve this?
I have a D1, Liquid gingerbread 1.3-update1, and GO launcher.

Missing "People" widget

I'm not sure how it got deleted. I'm running Damage ROM. I added the Vanilla lock screen and flashed the market app fix. Somewhere when doing this my widget disappeared.
It's the widget that you can set for all the groups of people you have configured. It has 2 types, one takes up a full screen and the other is just a bar that only takes up one column of blocks. You can scroll through and set what happens when you select their name.
Can someone up this widget for me.
Thanks!
See if you can see the "People" app in Manage Applications. If so, try clearing data. That might bring the widget and app icon back.
I've had that problem with Calendar and Bookmark widgets.
I've had this issue with the bookmark and calendar widgets as well. Just go to settings>manage applications>HTC sense>Clear data. You will have to put your shortcuts and widgets back on your screens, but the missing widgets will show up.

...and what if they don't?
I have less widgets now than I did before clearing the HTC Sense data. Not the first time I've seen this problem, either.
I found that clearing the davilk-cache seems to fix things.
I had to clear it twice. The first time brought my people widget back but made my calendar disappear. The second one brought them both back.
However, I'm not sure if restarting will cause the problem again.

ADW Widget Problems with 2.2.2 Moray

Also posted this over at Xoom Forums. Problem with ADW-EX and widgets
I have a wi-fi only Xoom that I just rooted, and to which I installed the Moray 2.2.2 ROM. I did not have any issues with the installation and flash, but I'm running the ADW-EX launcher and keep having problems with widgets not loading properly (the dreaded 'Problem Loading Widget' gray box). In fact, in setting up Hubs on my Xoom, I can go from one screen to another, and when I flip back to the first screen, widgets that were just working are now not loading properly. This includes some Minimalistic Text widgets as well as Pure Calendar, Music, Mizuu, Gmail, and others. It's very annoying to have to keep regenerating these widgets every few minutes. I have not tried restarting ADW each time to see if this fixes the issue. Backup and restore of the ADW settings does not. Has anyone else had trouble with widgets and ADW after installing this ROM?

Adding apps to home screen

Has anyone found this problem? I arranged my apps into folders into the app drawer, but when i come to extracting the apps to place back into the app drawer or the homescreen, touchwiz force closes. Only way to restore is to clear data for touchwiz.
I think its a bug. Im on zedomax's custom rom with root. It was doing this before i rooted also.

Google Play Music widget messed up after reboot.

Hi,
I am using Holo and Zeam Launchers on Android 2.3.7. With both launchers I am having a problem with the Google Play Music widget: After reboot the widget is unresponsive and most of the controls including the cover photo is gone. I have to delete and load the widget again. Then it works until the next time I reboot. On the stock (Motorola) launcher the widget is not messed up after reboot, but I refuse to use a mediocre launcher based on needing one widget to work. Anyone else noticed this. and is there anything I can do?

Hi!
You may have an SD card installed. I am trying to install to the internal memory.

Beautiful Widgets doesn't restore widget configurations

Sort of. When I first get into Android and tap on the blank widget to restore it, it loads up BW, and makes me re-configure everything. However, if I go into BW from the launcher (Nova), and go to Widgets configuration, I see my old widget, with the themes, and everything's configured properly. However, I can't see any way to restore that widget to my home screen. Does anyone know how to get this to work correctly?
Old post I know... but this continues to drive me nuts every time I update my rom.
You probably lost your widget? I don't know maybe.
