[Q] How can I get the long weather widget back? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've only had the phone a few days, and accidentally deleted the long 4x1 Accuweather widget that's on the homescreen (it normally sits right underneath the clock on the homescreen).
I've gone to add new widget, but the Accuweather widget listed there is only 2x1. Does anyone know how I can get the long one back again that stretches all the way across the screen? I did a search on these forums but couldn't find anything..
Thanks!

You can only resize it on touchwiz launcher. You have to add widget then hold it down (make sure u have space)
If your using a different launcher and try resizing it, it wont work. It will become overstretched

Same here, only option is 2x1, no amount of long pressing the widget will give any other size, even on an empty homescreen

Make sure it's moved over to the left when you hold then release it - it should give you a resizing handle.

ok i must be divi of the year but it just gomes up 2x1, where ever i put the poxy thing on the empty home screen.
Add widget
Press and hold the widget
Slide it on to the (empty) home screen top, bottom, middle, left, right!
let go
2x1 widget

I like this weather widget because of the multiple locations....

ok, just press and hold, until you feel the haptic feedback, then let go(dont slide it/move it, just press/hold/let go).
if you have space on the screen it will give you the available options on screen. yellow boxes. then you just move the silver triangle(bottom right corner)

Thanks again but no go. When I press and hold till the haptic feedback nothing appears on the home screen, I only get a white 2x1 location box when I press and slide on to the home screen and that white box doesn't have any drag points...i'll live with it, Beautiful Widget is not so bad!
Maybe its the version, I lost my two favourite stock wallpapers during the upgrade from odd to ke7
