hi all!

i was wondering if anyone got any clue about the stock provided weather app on the g3?
how can you set it up, where does it show up? because, frankly, at first i thought that it is a lockscreen widget, but there is no settings for it it settings>security. i extracted the two files form /system/app/ named mtkweatherprovider.apk and mtkweathersettings.apk, and peeked inside. there are lots of yahoo weather icons, and widget backgrounds.
if i try to install them, i got a "this is a system app and it's already installed, dumbass" into my face.

attached pic about the apks.

What weather app?! I've never seen a standard one. Which firmware version are you running?

I can't find a pre-installed weather app either.

do you guys want the apk-s?

oh yeah, got it from fastcardtech, in under two weeks.

You have the standard firmware that the g3 is shipped with. I've updated mine to the one that's from 29th November 2012 so maybe it doesn't include the weather app. What's the app like though?

i don't know, because - as i said in #1 - i can't get it to work. there are no settings, no icons in the appdrawer, no nothing.

I wouldn't bother with it. Just install something like Fancy Widgets which is an excellent weather widget.

thanks, i think it will go to trash when i update to jb beta.

also i'm not hooked to widgets and the like, because of the battery drain, and i use the traditional weather checking: i look out the window.
