I am unable to get Weather to show on pixel launcher homescreen

I am running CM14.1.

I have updated to the latest version of pixel launcher.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-launcher-7-1-1-3368800-android-apk-download/

I have already downloaded a weather provider - yahoo CM and set that as the weather provider in the pixel launcher app setting

I flashed

-two zip files (GoogleAssistantVelvet.zip, GoogleAssistantBuildProp.zip)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69074667&postcount=112"

-then flashed the google experience zip file (v3.5).

Also just curious, but can we just flashed the google experience zip file (v3.5)

and that will install everything ie GoogleAssistantVelvet.zip, GoogleAssistantBuildProp.zip, Launcher apk, wallpaper apk?
[Android Apps and Games] bunkerpanther:
Turn on GPS/Location.

Go to Home screen > swipe left to google home page > slide down to refresh.

Weather will show up on your homescreen.

If it still doesnt work uninstall CM yahoo weather provider.. And try again.
[Android Apps and Games] nfraccar:
In facts, if you see and read in the attached picture it says it won't work with pixel Launcher si nce it doesn't support third party icons pack.

THis is also my wish.. I love Pixel Launcher but very few roms support round icons with it.

And I haven't found a way to get them in my favorite Rom (Resurrection Remix 5.8 for Kenzo)
[Android Apps and Games] MirzaAwais:
Yes its right but i use it on cm13. Picture just shared for icon pack reference. I think on RR M build i also use the same with same icon.
[Android Apps and Games] nfraccar:
I am on RR 5.8 based on CM 14.1 that's maybe why.

If you are in CM13 then you can apply icons through CMTE
[Android Apps and Games] MirzaAwais:
Yes. Soon i will on cm 14.1 and try it if successful then share results.

[MENTION=6105718]FaserF[/MENTION] could you please add aroma installer to be able to choose which app we wanna install and which not..?
[Android Apps and Games] Scorpionea:
Download and flash opengapps aroma package (830mb ) there u chose pixel launcher and icon as well,icon will not work but u will have weather next to g icon

As long u can swipe to the left to open google cards u are fine then just wait a bit until it is shown

Just done it today when I flashed new build of RR N on my s3
[Android Apps and Games] madmax243:
Location is is already on

Yeah I already did the wipe left + down to refresh, as suggested in previous pages that I read.

So you don't have any weather providers setup in pixel launcher app setting?
[Android Apps and Games] bunkerpanther:
No
[Android Apps and Games] madmax243:
So you didn't flash google experience zip file and two zip files (GoogleAssistantVelvet.zip, GoogleAssistantBuildProp.zip)?

Did you need to install any weather provider and set it up in pixel launcher > web provider setting?
[Android Apps and Games] Scorpionea:
no i didn't install any zip or weather provider

just do what i said and also go to settngs/apps and find pixel launcher and give every permission and then wait for like maybe half to one hour it should show up then ;)
[Android Apps and Games] madmax243:
Can I just install the pixel launcher and icons using the aroma gaaps

without wiping out exising apps?

Or do I need to reinstall all apps in the aroma gaaps again?

So you can install pixel launcher without need to do this hacks on this thread?

But how did you get google assistant to work?

I think you need to do this mods here for it to work.
[Android Apps and Games] Scorpionea:
Yes u can install only pixel launcher and icons (but icons will not work) but also select Google search as well while in aroma

dunno about if u need to reinstall all again but u can always try that if not clean flash again everything

I'm not using Google assistant or any other hack..just simple aroma
[Android Apps and Games] madmax243:
I see now that's why you don't need the zips flashed.

I like the full pixel experience, so I need

-google assistant

-google feeds

So I need to flash the zips posted here.

Just curious, but why are you reading this thread, if you are not flashing any zips to get google assistant etc..?

Since most ppl came to this thread to get the full google pixel experience.
[Android Apps and Games] Scorpionea:
I read lots of stuff :)

And second because I saw your comment about unable to get weather

But u can flash everything else after u done with aroma installer then flash zips for GA and that's about it
[Android Apps and Games] madmax243:
Can someone please clarify something for me..

If I flash the google experience zip file V3.5, does that mean it will do all this :

-flash/install GoogleAssistantVelvet.zip + GoogleAssistantBuildProp.zip

-install pixel launcher apk + wallpaper apk

-install bootanimation zip

-install google assistant

-install dialer

[Android Apps and Games] madmax243:
Here is a solution for ok google not working

If the OP can add this to the front page, it could help others..

It's the not the ideal solution, but it does work, and lets you use "OK google" instead of needing to retrain the voice command each time.

Install this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=choplabalagun.blogspot.com.chopassistant&hl=en

===

also can someone tell me what is the technical reason why OK Google does not work?

and can it ever be fixed to work

[Android Apps and Games] iistoryahi:
Successfully flash and after a couple of days trying to test my phone and trying to observe about the battery. My battery decrease and i can't use too much because my phone very hot. Flashing my back-up and great heating issue was gone. I think there's an heating issue or wakelock issue of this flashable google pixel experience .

P.S - It's totally hot even without playing videos using MX Player, and very poor battery
[Android Apps and Games] bjc112:
Not experiencing that at all
[Android Apps and Games] ChanceGPM:
A suggestion: Add Pixel Contact app in the flashable zip, that would make the Dialer "New contact" shortcut work. It doesn't work at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] Owen007:
nice but i hope it will soon release for 5.0
[Android Apps and Games] ddarek65:
+1

And Google Camera :)
[Android Apps and Games] ChanceGPM:
I agree I would love that, wonder if it's possible though cause I can't install the apk-file xD
[Android Apps and Games] ZaKaRia OuH:
flashed latest version v3.5 of google pixel experience,and got That old GoogleContact icon.

tried to update it from play store to latest version,and got an error.

tried to install it from apkmirror and ended up with that message in screenshot ( the package conflicts with an existing package with the same name)

tried to remove the app using system app remover and succeeded.

tried to move the app to system using twrp , Romtoolbox pro but to no avail

still can't install the newer GoogleContact.

please help is needed.
[Android Apps and Games] ChanceGPM:
I got the same problem, Didn't know it was because of pixel experience :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Rls4ever12:
Try to delete the app with twrp
[Android Apps and Games] ChanceGPM:
With twrp? how?

Edit: I found out about twrp file manager and i discovered you can delete from there, but I don't know where the app is located though?
[Android Apps and Games] Rls4ever12:
Mount... system.... advanced.... File manager.......system.....app or priv app....locate app delete
[Android Apps and Games] ChanceGPM:
Thanks I will see if it works.

Edit: The app got deleted, but still got the same error with the installation fail so now I can't install any other contact app?? What do I do? :(
[Android Apps and Games] Android2003:
Shame on me, But how does assistant work? I installed Pixel and its working fine.

But HOW can i get the Google assistant to worj?
[Android Apps and Games] ChanceGPM:
Download GetAssistant from playstore :)
[Android Apps and Games] Rls4ever12:
Re flash Gapps and or dirty flash ROM. Then always backup before using mods or tweaks so u have nothing to worry about
[Android Apps and Games] Android2003:
Thanks

But solution was another. Only turn off assistant and turn on again was the problem.

Working good now with "ok Google"
[Android Apps and Games] fireball0093:

You need you have framework installed for that !!

Check out this http://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/general/cm14-1-pixel-navigation-bar-home-button-t3505470/page31

Flash the zip and install the above apk file clear Pixel launcher data you should see rounded icons and also zip includes Pixels blue color so your systems default green color will be replaced

EDIT: Don't flash that zip you'll end up with a boot loop
[Android Apps and Games] iistoryahi:
Thanks , Let me try if this work.

Edit: Bootloop on my device
[Android Apps and Games] ZaKaRia OuH:
will this work on nexus 5 running AOSP 7.1.1 by Santhosh M ?
[Android Apps and Games] Akhilesh S V:
I tried this on Nexus 4 and it's working smoothly so I think it should work on every device
[Android Apps and Games] ZaKaRia OuH:
Thank you so much, though there's a like button ?

imma give it a try now.

Edit: one more question , did the zip of blue themed system UI work for you ?

i see that it's only for nexus 6 !
[Android Apps and Games] avinashjirapure:
Hi,

I can't clear cache from Pixel launcher as I have placed it in system\priv-app. If I install Pixel Launcher as normal app then Google now becomes unavailable (at left most side of home screen).

Howz is your setup?
[Android Apps and Games] Akhilesh S V:
Yeah Blue themed system UI worked for me

I've attached few screenshots
[Android Apps and Games] Akhilesh S V:
Even I've installed Pixel launcher as system app. GoTo Pixel launcher - Storage and clear data
[Android Apps and Games] avinashjirapure:
To make Pixel Launcher as system app, I copied apk to system\priv-app folder & granted permissions -rw-r--r-- to apk.

How you followed any other method?
[Android Apps and Games] Akhilesh S V:
I flashed Pixel Experience v_3.5
[Android Apps and Games] schrickz:
that's just a temporary alternative for now.

[Android Apps and Games] ZaKaRia OuH:
with no offense to you.

**** the zip you provided ?

i flashed it on my nexus 5 and got it in a bootloop !

luckily,i had previously taken a backup of system partition , and boot.img which i restored by force booting to recovery.

my phone booted normally , but i got stuck in ''emergency calls only'' mode for about 2 hours which i had it many times before , and sometimes for a full day.

are you sure the zip you provided is working on nexus 4 and 5 ?
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
Something wrong with your install. Should not be showing 0 bytes for all entries. I also manually installed.

Edit: thinking about it after an install, before setting up the Launcher in any way, it might show 0's across the board.

Edit2: data (and cache) should be found in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher/
[Android Apps and Games] Akhilesh S V:
I tried it on Nexus 4 and it worked I don't know why you encountered a boot loop .... Sorry for that
[Android Apps and Games] drkhalidomer:
Yeah it is ! How can it be a Permanent when you are going to flash nightlies !! ? Better to Flash this along with the nightly
[Android Apps and Games] schrickz:
yup, but better to stay safe with backup.

it's kinda risky since we're on nightly with more features added included in the framework.
[Android Apps and Games] drkhalidomer:
Yeah that's true ! May be the developer will update its framework accordingly ! Rest is your choice !
[Android Apps and Games] avinashjirapure:
Yeah... Even I am not able to figure out what exactly is going wrong. To cross verify, I tried with different versions, but result remains same.

Anyways now I have tried with android experience 3.5 zip as Akhilesh is using & its working as it should.

Thanks [emoji4]... Avinash

the solution is to rename the titanium backup folder..

Rename the backup folder and it should stop searching again.

Then you can copy the files you need into the new folder..

I'm on CM 14.1 and using these mods for awhile with no issues. But today I ran into an issue with the dialer. When long pressing using "3D touch" it used to show my latest contacts. Yesterday I added an old Google account but removed it shortly after. Ever since then none of my latest or frequent contacts are popping up when long pressing. Only the "add contact" option.

I'm Italian, and the assistant don't work as isn't ready for Italian language... :(
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
You can get the dialer and launcher from apkmirror

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-launcher-7-1-1-3368800-android-apk-download/

Dialer:

For 7.1+

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-phone-7-0-141193972-android-apk-download/

For 6.0+

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...hone-5-1-131226882-android-apk-download/#file

Or you can just extract the apk files from the zip and install them

Edit: added link for 6.0+
[Android Apps and Games] ddarek65:
And if you want Assistant then install the English language as additional and switch to it under Settings.
[Android Apps and Games] --anx--:
WHOA! It worked!!! :victory:

You know what? The error I've always done is that I've always downloaded apk's that are "minimum" and "target" Android 7.0 or 7.1...while they have to be MINIMUM 5.0 or 6.0! :eek:

That was the mistake! Copied CONTACTS and DIALER into system/app with right permission, set PHONE as default app in settings and things are perfectly placed now!

Only one thing: if I delete STOCK CONTACTS and DIALER from HTC, it happens a strange thing...when someone calls me, the phone show the call "at the second ring"...for being clear...the caller hear the second ring and then my phone starts to sounds...at the first ring my phone it's still idle...

Pretty strange...
