I just got my spiffy new Gear 2 and it wouldn't sync weather from my Note 3 (running Jedi Elite V5 ROM). Just wouldn't let me tick the use current location box in Gear Manager.
Here's the fix
In /system/app make sure you have:
AccuweatherPhone2013.apk
WeatherWidgetDaemon.apk
If you're missing either just download (link below) and using Root Explorer (or similar) stick em in /system/app, uninstall Gear Manager, reinstall Gear Manager, reboot and enjoy working weather!
Cheers!
Yep, that is how you get it to work for original gear also

I had some success with newer Weather widget from Samsung (from 2014) by loading some additional resources from Samsung ROMs. However, this broke other things that were previously working (namely S Voice and Schedule), so I decided it wasn't worth it. After all, you can just ask S Voice "show the current weather" and you'll get the same result...
Try clearing data and cache and see if that helps.
The only thing that made weather work for me is if my GPS is turned on via the phone.
anyone know why Svoice tell you the weather in ferinheight and not celsius? is there a fix for this?
the weather settings on my note2 is set to celsius. in gear manager its the same. not sure if its an Svoice thing or not.
the weather on the watch shows correctly in celsius

Search Weather in the Google search bar (bar with microphone), then you just need to tap C or F, to toggle between Celsius Fahrenheit

Go to your Google app and search "weather"
Once it gives you the weather, it'll ask you if you want to add weather to your home screen.
Click yes and a weather shortcut will be added.
Go back to the Google App and refresh your cards feed.
That should refresh the Pixel Launcher into adding the weather widget.
Working on my Android One.
Part of this functionality exists in Android 7.1.1 which is only out for last year's Nexus devices and the Pixel C at this time
All I can get is the shortcut icon to the weather app.

Thanks. This worked for me.
It just added a weather icon at first, but then I went over to cards, refreshed and scrolled down to see the weather there. As soon as I looked at the weather in the cards section, it was on my homescreen when I went back to it.
Pixel Launcher has just appeared in the market for me with an update to version 7.1.1. It says :
"The weather appers in the top right corner for your current location"
This hasn't happened to me as yet but I'm sure it will
Update: It just literally has.
Okay I've worked it out and now have the weather widget showing.
Swipe to cards and scroll to the weather card.
Tap the three dots to top right
Tap customise the feed (see screenshot)
Scroll down to 'everything else' (see screenshot)
Tap on each of the weather options and change to 'yes' (see screenshot)
Voila!

This was the cure for me as well. I'm not sure why the update or Pixel app doesn't show in the play store. I also had to go into the weather card and retick all the boxes even though i had them ticked already.

Trying to use Nova and missing the weather widget - how would I go about getting it within Nova? Can't seem to find it
I don't think you can. My last Samsung phone was a note 3 and you couldn't add some of the widgets to a 3rd party launcher. Weather was one of them.
zooper widgets.... There are a handful out that match it 100% already.

Download Xwidget from the play store. It has all like-for-like S8 widgets, and most importantly it pulls data from Accuweather, rather than obscure OpenweatherMap in Zooper. You can also set a click event to open up the full weather. (Have to add the weather app on the homescreen first, from the weather settings)

First of all go to the actual samsung weather setting and enable "add weather on apps screen
Then, on your xwidget's weather widget :
Click on it-menu will open
Click on Settings and About
Click on "click event "
Choose "open app"
Choose samsung weather as an app
Presto, samsung weather will open upon click on that widget

Revert back to stock launcher, access the weather from it, add "show weather on apps screen"
Then revert to Nova, and you'll have an actual weather button in your app drawer.
The rest as per my post above.
Hope this helps

Worked like a charm...You are the man ty!
If you wanna add the weather/temp on the search bar, unlock the Labs settings in Nova and enable the option for it under the Labs settings. Clicking on the temp opens the Google weather app, not sure if you can default it to something else yet.
"It's really simple, actually - while in Nova's settings menu, hold volume down for 2-3 seconds. You'll see a toast notification letting you know that Labs was successfully enabled. Similarly, if you wish to disable the new menu for any reason, just hold volume up for 2-3 seconds."

found a workaround for this, using multipicture live wallpaper from the playstore you can setup multiple images to the be shown on the lock screen however it wont change everytime you start the screen it will change as per time set. Still better than nothing.
For multi wallpaper pls check my thread>https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/root-multiwallpaper-lockscreen-t3638406
We Can find multiple wallpaper in the Samsung theme store. So it's possible !
Maybe only with the theme developper kit...
Any idea ?
If you use Nova Launcher, or anything that can create activities, then you can still use the native Samsung multiple lock screen wallpaper selector app. Find the 'My Interests' app in whatever app you use to see activities, and it has the 'Multiple images' activity for '.ui.KeyguardPhotoSlideMainActivity'. ?
This should work too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...pchanger&hl=en&rdid=com.shirobakama.wpchanger

I was unable to find "My Interests" but here is how I managed it.
With Nova installed press and hold on a blank icon space to add a widget as normal. Choose Activities from the Nova section.
Find Keyguard Wallpaper Updator and twirl it down and select Multiple Images. This will add an icon to your home screen that will open the hidden multiple wallpaper chooser.

I was able to find that option. But after starting the "Multiple images" activity it tells me that I need to give the "My interests" app permission for the "Multiple images" activity to work. But there is no "My interests" app/activity on my phone.

Some app can be access from quick shortcut maker - search (star and task changer).
Download
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut
This is for oreo right ? No N ?
Anyone having luck with the EdgeLightning+ application? I've installed it and I'm trying to setup custom EdgeLightning for notifications. I've set Messages and Snapchat to blue and yellow, respectively, but no matter what notification I receive the EdgeLight is blinking at the default set color - and not the app-specific one.
Nova launcher widgets (activities) work with these apps too, no need to install another app.
My favorite is being able to remove the alarm icon and others from the status bar. Gives the phone a clean look.
Im inexperienced with this app. One thing i like is how the recents cards look unless thats from Nova Launcher.
Would any of you guys mind weighing in like the person above me talked about removing the alarm icon.
What are some of your favorite things to do? Im coming from HTC and not used to what this app can do.
Thank you.
Thank you for this! It took me a minute to see what was new about the edge lighting. All the new features are on the new page to the right. Also I really like the new look of the recent apps. Samsung Good Lock is also just a white page for me, scrolling to the right shows the developers emojis I think, but that's all. What is Good Lock anyways?

Hi, using the new task manager I can't find 2 things.
1) If I'm on the home, for example, and I lanch the task manager , there's no way to lanch an app directly in multiwindow mode, like it is in the default task manager
2) If I'm using an app, for example chrome, and I lanch the task manager in multiwindow mode to select the second app, I can see only the apps already open but I don't have the possibility to search in all apps like it is in the default task manager
Do you have any solution?

Hi
If you're a XDA's regular visitor, you have already known that Samsung released GOOD LOCK app again and this time for OREO only. If not, head over to the XDA feature portal here:
Samsung is bringing back Good Lock, the UI customization app
https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-bringing-back-good-lock/As it is stated in post this release is region specific only. Luckily I've figured out a way by which every Oreo Samsung user can install and use this to modify some system UI tweaks. So let's start.
Download the .zip file from here, extract it and install all apps one by one. Some apps(edge lightning etc) show icons on launcher. Open them and go through them you'll learn how to use them to tweaks SystemUI.
For apps that don't show icons, Download and install Activity Manager app from Play Store.
Now Launch it and search for the apps you installed along with good lock like quickstar, lockstar task changer etc
Upon finding app, just lauch 1st activity and you'll be brought right to that app's setting page.
Modify it as you like and you're done.

Thanks for a great contribution.

Hey guys, does somebody know why my clock disappears on lockscreen whenever I use Lockstar? I'm on RenovateICE and every apk is working fine except Lockstar that for some reasons doesn't want to make the clock appear. I tried to check on the RICE settings if there was anything to hide etc but everything is disabled/stock. Any advice?

You can select app by pressing the + button in preview screen
I tried every single possible thing so far that I could come up with, but I got no results. It's a bit sad though, the apk is so great that it would be a shame to lose it!

As I said I can't select any apps
Because there is no plus symbol
And also no clock is shown on the Lockscreen
In the settings you can see the clock
Cool
I was able to install Good Lock through The Galaxy App store. The apps work as they should, no issues.
Thanks !

Im also having the same issue. Whats weird is I also tried the same app I installed to my colleague's S8 and it works fine. Only thing I can think of is the dpi since thats the only thing I changed
Im on alexis rom and all work beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I can confirm it's the dpi. Reverting it back to 360 makes Lockstar work again.
Sad, won't keep my phone at a crap dpi just for a lockscreen!
