Tamara,

I’m puzzled by your response.  This action is precisely what does not work – which is why I posted the query in the first place.  This is the generic instruction for installing an app.  I’m not being deliberately rude, but genuinely curious when I ask this question – did you carefully read my original question?  I can’t get a clock app to install, because it specifically wants me to use the old-style method of long holding a spot on my home page to install the app.  That no longer works – now the only option I get is to choose wallpaper.  A function which would have allowed me to use this app was removed in the latest software update.  I guess you can try to sell this as an “improvement”, but I don’t see it that way -

Woonsocket,

   You never answered me back, was that the functions that you would have expected from the app when it was on GB?

It won't work Bob if you have Limited Space on your Home Screen but try this if you have nothing on your far Right or Far Left Try Holding the Widget and taking it to one of them and placing it there and it might be a Case were the Widget need to be Updated before it Can operate on I.C.S.  When i wanted to use my Clock widget Swiss Book Watch i had to free up Take some of the Widgets off the Screen before i could put the Watch there on the Middle Home Screen.. b33

I am also having widget troubles.

I have downloaded and installed a dozen different clock widget apps and none of them will show up in the widgets tab.

I can't seem to get the any clock widget to attach to any page of my home screen.

When I press the app button and select the widgets tab, these widgets just don't show up at all.

If I open the apps tab group I can tap the app icon for the widget, but this just opens the widgets settings screen.

Strange goings on...

I downloaded a few more clock widgets and installed them. 

Now some, but not all of them are showing up in the widgets tab and I can add them to a home screen.  

Maybe this is a cache glitch - the list of widgets is cached and something refreshed the cache.

When you Want new Widgets especially 3rd Party = from the PlayStore i always shut my phone off after i get the App that contains the Widget and then Turn it back on then install it! one thing else to remember make sure you read all the instructions that are included with the Widget.. b33
