Hey, I have a solution for your problem.All you have to do is when need to install your app-widget-supported app don't do 'adb install filename.apk'..this will install your app in /data/app folder.Thus wont have permission to access app-widgets. Instead use 'adb push filename.apk /system/app ' .This might solve your problem.If the problem still persists..don't worry...Remove '/data/system/ packages.xml' file and restart the device.don't forget to take back-up of packages.xml if something goes wrong.Let me know if everything goes fine for you.
