5.) Weather Widget on "At A Glance" is not working? Then try updating Google App, Google Play Services, Android System Intelligence (ASI), Android System Webview, Google Calendar and all other Google apps from PlayStore.

6.) Still weather widget or other pixel launcher features like system wide search aren't working? Then that's because of Gapps in your rom. Some roms have proper gapps so there is no issue in those roms. If your rom doesn't show weather on at a glance or other features like select from recent menu isn't working then try below solution. It may or may not work for you.
