Did you try to config the zipcode or your location on the widgets yet?
Weather widget works just for US. No other countries avalible.
edit: You can check supported locations at weather.gov
This is the place where weather widget gets information.
International version

I've had a problem with the Genie Widget. It works fine when I first install it on a newly installed ROM, but after a little while, it can't acces and won't access weather at all. Won't refresh. Tried turning data off and back on, reinstalling, everything. Anyone else having this problem?

I ahven't had any such issues. Are you running a version for 2.1 as opposed to the ported version for 1.5?
I attached the APK I am using.
Ceger
It's working fine here too. Did you try erasing the stored data for the app?

I think you could be right on that. I think I'm using a ported version for 1.5. I'll try out the version you posted and see how it goes

Tried this as well and still a no go. Rebooting to see if ti helps
EDIT: Still doesn't work. I'm stumped.
So I've narrowed it down to gps. It can't get my location automatically. I can set my location and it works fine. Why is this?
Are you using an AirRave?

Are you using custom 2.1 rom or still using ported 1.5 rom?
it does that on 1.6 roms also
Mine will do this from time to time as well, but eventually it clears itself up. It can take a while to get back to working, however.
Can anyone tell me what version of the widget their running? According to what Astro's App Manager tells me, I'm running version 1.1.7-RC6 on Fresh Rom 2.0d
I have no Idea if I'm running one for 2.1 or one ported for 1.5 or what.

I tried the link you have posted, but it doesnt work at all on my LG G3. I googled and found OnePlus One thread about BlinkFeed and one guy posted this one :http://www.mediafire.com/download/x266h197ss21b9f/blinkfeed.zip
I got to work blinkfeed + weather + htc clock + twitter + facebook, you can download from here.
I installed first prism.apk, then htc service pack, clock, weather, and put twitter and facebook in the system/priv-app folder with correct permissions
I added the folder weather with the animations in system/media, and now I've also got the animations.

I tried it and BlinkFeed is working fine. So does the weather. Facebook/Twitter and animations doesnt, cos I dont want to root my week old phone :laugh: . Try it out.
EDIT* I had to change the prism to 5x4, dont use the one located in RAR (mediafire) it has the DPI problem. This is the right one: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4Lj-ul49PJtVTRRLXo0aHhaZlk/edit
I'm trying to set Blink Feed up on my G3 but seems that I can't get away from the DPI issue. I've tried the DPI fixed version.
Mt g3 is set at 530 . Any of u have better luck or any suggestions?!

I have a full blinkfeed working (including service pack), i am just in the process of modding the menu bar as it has a slight problem (DPI issue) but everything seems to be working fine, i will have it posted in the next day or so if anyone is interested

Well thanks I'll definitely check it out when you post it. What DPI do you have you phone at? My G3 is at 530 and I suspect maybe that's what is causing my issue?!
Everything actually works, just seems the App grid on the home screen is off... Everything is offset to the left.

i could possible work that for you, if you leave it with me i will post a working version of blinkfeed for stock then i will upload a script mod to implement changes for your DPI, work is a bit long at the moment so may take a couple of days if that is ok ?

This is the version I been using, make sure to use the 4×5 grid version
I had this working great on my rooted Verizon G3 until about 3 days ago when I updated the HTC Zoe Beta app in the Play store. After that, Blinkfeed will no longer let me add topics.
I've tried uninstalling Zoe, reinstalling the framework and Prism, etc but no luck. No matter what I do, Blinkfeed stays empty. However if I go in and click a source directly (Engadget for example) it will show me stories for them.
Any ideas? I was so happy to have this working before.
So no one got a complete working version out? The one im using twitter crashes and weather does not fully work

I got it fully working fb, weather and twitter it all works great. If your weather shows up weird change it's dpi with appsettings(xposed) of it fails to load new Info it could be due to 4 square or other apps you have that are supported in blinkfeed (just uninstall them)
Any advice for my issue, where I can't add topics to Blinkfeed? No matter how many I check it stays blank.

I'm at my whits end. My wife and I are both Google beta members. Same S7 Edge. Same version of the Google app and she has the customizable widget while I do not. I have tried everything. Uninstalling, updating, leaving and rejoining the beta, you name it. She did nothing. One day the three dot menu was there for her on the widget. I can't get it to happen on my S7 Edge.
Anyone else figure out how to make this happen? It's driving me crazy.

I heard its a very slow roll out (luck of the draw & youre unlucky).
Uninstall it then try this apk...if it's what you're looking for.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-7-14-15-release/
Update--tried it myself and it won't install. Even tried disabling it. I wonder if anyone with an S7 has got the update.

I've tried installing APK's found on various sites that were supposed to install the widget but it just ends up being the same search widget. No three dots like my wife's. I don't understand how two people, in the beta program, with the exact same device and the exact same version (7.14.18.21.arm64), don't both have the same widget. This is bizarre.
try to clear the data and everything from the application, then choose to disable the application manager, restart
Then, enable and update the app

Don't really want to do that. I don't want to have to configure it all again with what I like to see cards wise within Now as well as anything with the Assistant. I shouldn't have to reset everything to get the same widget my wife got with the same version of Google, without doing any of that. There has to be something we're missing here.
I also want to know how to get the 3 dots. Seems like there's no known fix

Tried this. Doesn't work
I've had three Google updates since I first posted this and I STILL do not have the customizable widget. WTF is Google doing?
No one? Did anyone else get the newly updated customizable widget? I've tried everything again. Uninstalling, reinstalling from links at various sites. Removing from beta, adding back. This is very frustrating.
Search bar customization
Same issue my wife and I both S7 edge have the customisation of option but my friend did the same procedure and he has an updated app but no customisation option I don't know why Google is doing this
I've had many updates to the Google app since I first posted this thread. Still no customizable widget. I guess Google is never going to release it to some people for some bizarre reason. I don't get their thinking on this. Why give it to some, update others, but don't include the customization???
what is the customisable widget? can i see a screenshot? now i want it too!
Hey still nothing for me too bruh.I want it too Friend in work who has S8 already use rounded version :/ **** is not fair.Google probably releasing this very slowly.Se we have to wait dudes
Any update for this thread? I had that rounded widget until today because i had to factory reset my s7 edge for various reasons and after that, widget dont let me customize it anymore. I have all google apps up to date and I joined to beta test but still nothing... Now I have different 3rd party google search, but I want that original to work again.. :/
Yup, I finally received it months ago. Just took time to show up.

It works perfectly if I use lawnchair 2 launcher. But I don't wanna use that.
check the google app. goto settings/notifications and then current weather. my was the same as yours and i changed something but don't remember exactly what so that might have been it.

yeah, i agree. it's frustrating for me that i can't remember things. maybe when you're near 70 you'll have perfect memory, i don't.
Update the google app, if its already updated to latest then join the beta and update, will fix it after reboot

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.
Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.
