Finally Got the OTA Update today. Went through as normal until I have discovered that all of my clocks are missing. The Clock app is there but the Clocks are not. I know this may not be an issue for most but my clocks widgets are missing and under applications it reads 0.0B for the file size. Unfortunately I am bone stock and this is a system file so I think I will have to manually update the device now. I was trying to avoid having to this ......

go to menu/settings/applications/manage apps/all and scroll downt o HTC sense and clear data. Then press home button you should get a white HTC screen for a second. after that you should see the clock widget.
Thanks, that did it for me.....

NOTE: Samsung has confirmed the Android Pie update for Galaxy J7 (2017), so you'll get all Pie apps when the update is completed.
This post will no longer be updated since I'm not using this device anymore.
You can still try to update the compatible apps to newer versions if they are available (maybe they could work).
Don't expect incompatible apps to install in the future, unless until the Pie update.
All apps listed are installable as normal apks, without needing root or recovery.
Compatible apps:
Samsung Internet Browser 9.0.01.45 - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...msung-internet-for-android-9-0-01-45-release/
Some previous versions had a bug and couldn't download anything properly, but it has been fixed in this version
Samsung Notes 3.0.00.102 - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...msung-notes/samsung-notes-3-0-00-102-release/
Samsung Email 6.0.00.63 - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...amsung-email/samsung-email-6-0-00-63-release/

Samsung Experience Home 10.0.00.55 beta - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...rience-home-touchwiz-home-10-0-00-55-release/
You'll need to clone the app (read notes below), install the cloned app AND SET IT AS THE DEFAULT LAUNCHER (if this is not done it won't work). It may crash sometimes.
Incompatible apps:
Samsung Gallery
Samsung Messages
Samsung Phone
Always On Display
Samsung Game Launcher
Samsung Calendar
Samsung Finder
To clone an app:
You'll need to install App Cloner: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/applisto/app-cloner/
Open App Cloner.
Go to the folder icon on the top left corner.
Click on the round + icon that has appeared on the bottom right corner and select "From a file".
Find the APK you donwloaded and open it. It may take a few minutes.
Once it is open, click the tick (✓) icon and wait a couple of minutes.
Install the app.
This process doesn't mean that you can install anything. If the app is not compatible due to the architecture or Android version required, or the cloned app crashes, you can't make anything to solve it.

Installable if the app is cloned with App Cloner, but it doesn't show any game, even adding it manually, so it is useless.

Installable if the app is cloned with App Cloner, but you must to set it as the default launcher, otherwise it will crash. It could also have some bugs with some widgets.
To clone an app:

Yes, if the app is compatible with previous versions of Android it can also be installed on Nougat.
PS: don't reply to the main post, it's too long
Anyway, thanks for your comment

Which one and which version?
Rot
Pasa
Tried always on and samsung experience home and both did not install
Samsung home experience
Hello all
I have installed Samsung home experience 10.0.00.55
By Appcloner and I made it the default app for my device so far I have not had any problem except that the shortcuts on the home screen (below) are without names. The option to hide the application when you press and hold an application that has not been added.
-Added option (app info) again (not in version Oreo 8.1 and found in Nougat version 7.0)
-The rotation of the home screen works well except that the icons when turning (landscape) are small and inappropriate.
Note: My device is j730f Oreo 8.1
Finally: Thank you very much (danimanz98)

Always On is not compatible, and Samsung Experience Home needs to be cloned.

You're welcome
And maybe you cannot select the Samsung Weather widgets, they are only available in the original launcher (cloning an app makes it different for Android).

Not sure if this is the correct forum for my problem, but I will try
Got a Galaxy S8+ with the latest oreo build, and using Nova launcher (prime) on the beta stream.
Up until a few updates ago (not sure if the software OS or the nova launcher) notification badges worked just fine, without teslaread. In one of the previous updates it simply stopped working and I have no idea as to why that might happen
Does someone know by any chance what might cause this behaviuor?
Many thanks in advance!
P.S
tried installing teslaread and it didn't help as well...
Also tried contacting teslacoil and they haven't responded my mail yet..

Hello,
I came across few issues with widgets. I am using Lawnchair ver. 2.1-2627. With that I am using KWGT with Flow widgets and Month Calendar widget. Firstly, I have an issue with action on touch. Both, launcher and KGWT, FLow, Month have all the permissions available in the system. However when I tap on wither of the widgets, nothig is working. I tried forcing notifications, nothing. Any fix? I tried solution from KWGT website, doesn't work. No battery optimisation is running for this app - super annoying.
Secondly, weather dosn't update in the widget, in KWGT settings it says location unknown, like mentioned before, all apps have location permission permanent.
This phone is great, but chinese rom is super annoying. LIterally counting hours to be able to unlock BL and flash xiaomi eu rom. but wanted to try if anything could be done.
Thanks in advance, it's been a while since I had Xiaomi device last and never ran on Chinese rom.
