Does anyone here managed to install the (google?) app News and Weather on the gp-g70 (international version)?
I sideloaded the News and weather app on my yp-G70cw. I tried both v1.3.04 (from CM7.2) and v1.1.7-RC6 (which runs on android 2.1). The new version won't even install, and the old one FC everytime I try to run it. My yp-G70 is rooted and is on stock 2.2.2 (I need the GPS + compass).
I wonder if the issue is about the version of android I'm running, or maybe samsung does something funny that breaks the app? I need this app for my alarm clock plus other things; any help and suggestion is most welcome. Thanks!
EDIT: Google is our friend

Good moring all.
Flashed rohit's GB MIUI ROM yesterday, and updated the market to Play Store via an apk I found here. Used the apk before on other ROMs. All fine - very nice ROM btw.
About 4 hours later I downloaded (via pc) and installed a bunch of MIUI lockscreens from the Android Themes forum, and noticed that "Play Store" had changed name to "Black Market Store" (note - not "BlackMarket Alpha"). The icon was the same, but had moved itself up in the app drawer alphabetically. I use AltDrawer, and have done for months.
Never seen this before, and didn't dare to open it - did a full wipe and reinstalled ROM via CWM immediately, and Play Store was back. As far as I recall, I only had WiFi activated for a short time, and hadn't turned on my data network at all.
Baffling and slightly worrying - something somewhere was being naughty, but I've no idea what/how/where. I have zero apps from anywhere except the market and here, never had the warez markets on my phone.
Anyone else familiar with this?
Thanks as always.
I'm using this android 4.1.2 rom called CleanBlankRom which is awesome.

But Google Now is not working appropriately.
It doesn't show weather cards, recent searches, appointments...
I reinstalled the ROM, factory reset and all those shenanigans, but to no avail.
I made sure that i set my home and work address on Google Latitude (in fact, the Traffic card shows up real nice) but weather still doesn't work.
Anyone else running this rom had this problem? i've found nothing on the ROM's thread.
I installed V20G rom back on the phone, to gift it to someone, and i discovered that some apps, cant be dowloaded from the phones application store anymore (not the google one). One of that apps is the weather.theme, required for the weather widget to work. Luckily i found it in a older backup i had, so i share it here just in case someone else needs it...

Good Evening/Hello/Hi,
I own a Nexus 5X and I am running Android O Preview 3 using the Nova Launcher 5.2
Phone is not rooted and bootloader is still locked.
I recently downloaded the Android O Preview 3 OTA update directly f System Update settings. I was just before the OTA update running Android 0 Preview 2.
Problem :
Once the device updated and rebooted everything is working like a charm. Except, I found out that some of my widgets on my home-screen are not working anymore.
I can only see a grey rectangle with an Play icon and under written Setup. (see image attached)
I had 3 of those widgets and they were all "My Play Library" (One for My Movies, My Books and My Newstand).
When I try to re-add it from the widget menu. It's nowhere to be found it completely disappeared.
Any other people have this problem. Got a way to fix this ?
It was working correctly on Android 0 Preview 2.
I even tried to reboot and wipe the cache partition, tried also to change to another launcher like google now launcher to see if problem was related to Nova Launcher but still it's not there at all in either cases.

Thank You

Woke up this morning and mine was gone too. Looked exactly like your screenshot. I didn't install any updates though, I'm still stuck on Marshmallow, it was just gone. Google probably just killed it out of nowhere, as Google does.
This also happened to me. I'm wondering if it will ever come back. Any ideas for an alternative widget in the meantime?
Happened to me today as described. Sucks as it was my favourite feature to have all my books on my home screen.
Current solution was to add a folder using root explorer to data/app called com.android.vending-1.apk then go to airplane mode and force stop Play Store and uninstall updates. That reverted my Play Store app and prevented it from auto updating which will do for now.
Will link source to that tip when not on mobile.
Also interested in alternative widgets for this purpose.
Yeah, I noticed mine was gone too. I hope they add it back...
Adding more. Happen on my old nexus 7 2013. Definitely linked to Google removing the widget from the play store apk. Dammit it was a great widget. I could easily see my movies books and magazine. I'm pissed they did this without notice.
got the same problem on my galaxy S7 edge running Nougat, it's a right PITA
What a bummer! Gone for me too, on a completely stock Galaxy Tab S3 running Nougat. I used it for the digital magazines I subscribe to in Google Play Newsstand and it just disappeared without any notice.
Dammit Google. I used that for books too, on a 12" tablet, full screen. It was awesome. Why not fix it instead of removing it just like that? There are many of us who liked it a lot. Geez.
Anybody able to create a widget app that could replicate what the 'my library' app did?
