The stock weather widget preloaded on your Samsung Galaxy S4 is really great, but there’s one thing that’s missing—options. The weather widget shows just the right amount of information at a glance, and it’s not too shabby looking either, but for us softModders, it’d be really nice to have more options.
Well, today I’m going to provide you with a couple. Interestingly enough, this is a topic I first covered on the Samsung Galaxy S3.
How to Get Transparent Weather Widgets
Android dev and themer Jon Ciepiela (aka reverepats) has created two variations to the stock AccuWeather widget on the GS4—a 70% transparent and 100% transparent one.
Best of all, Installing these mods on our Galaxy S4s is super easy.
Simply download the style you want (70% or 100%) onto your GS4, move the file to your internal SD card, and flash in recovery (no need to wipe anything, the install script will handle all of that for you).
That’s all there is to it.
How to Revert Back to the Stock Weather Widget
If you want to revert back to the original widget, simply flash the restore file in recovery mode like you did with one of the mods above.
