Widget issues

Fix common widget setup, refresh, and disappearance problems.

Widget behavior on Android can be inconsistent across apps, launchers, and device manufacturers.

These are the most common widget issues in Lawnchair and how to fix them.

Widget not appearing or crashing during setup

This can happen with widgets that open a setup screen, especially on older Android versions.

To fix it:

1. Temporarily change your default launcher to your system's default launcher (e.g., Pixel Launcher, One UI Home).

2. Open Lawnchair.

3. Attempt to add the widget you want to use.

4. Set Lawnchair as the default launcher again.

Widget data not updating

If a widget's information is not updating:

1. Resize the widget to a different size, then return it to its original size.

2. Open the app that provides the widget:

   1. Check that the app has the permissions it needs.

   2. Clear the app's cache.

All widgets disappeared from the home screen

This can happen after the home screen has been inactive for a while.

To fix it:

1. Long-press the home screen, then tap Home settings.

2. Tap More , then tap Restart Lawnchair.
