Its very easy to get the new Google News & Weather app working on the Nexus 5, all you need is root and a root enabled file explorer. First off, youre going to need to use that root file explorer to ho and uninstall/delete the Google News & Weather widget. It should be found in /ststem/app/. Then youll need to reboot. Now download and install the Google News & Weather app. After this, it should be working. Oh, btw, heres the apk http://goo.gl/Iivbtc

I had no issue with SlimRom except it said it wasn't available in my country(The US, weird right?). I just downloaded the .apk and installed it.

    Does anyone know in the new version how to set the frequency of updates? The sync interval, especially the weather one. Can't find it! Thanks guys!

    i dont think there is a sync option. just the option to sync or not(in main phone settings, google, sync).
