Anyone know why Social Hub Widget only shows up in stock Touchwiz launcher?
The widget is completely missing from both Go, Apex and Nova Launchers but works with the Touchwiz launcher.
(stock based FF18 rom)
Pretty sure social hub is a touchwiz specific widget. Kind of like how go Widgets will only work with go launcher or friendstream only works with Rosie on sense.

Oh that would be a bummer.
I added Social Hub along with the widget back into the rom I'm using and someone else pointed this out. Since I did it as a favor and have never really used it, I thought I'd ask if this was normal.
Anyone else can confirm this too please?
No Touchwiz no Touchwiz widgets. It's like wanting a galaxy phone without the Samsung. Not happening.. Best bet is to find a third party app.

I had asked a similar question before but didn't get a clear answer, is there any way to add sense based widgets into adw launchers framework or any file at that to apply them wile running it? I figured it was possible because the .apks run but when I try to add a widget they aren't listed. Any help is much appreciated.

I've never been able to do this myself and I've tried a few times....I believe it probably can't be done because sense widgets are baked in as part of sense launcher. It'd be like trying to use launcher pro widgets in got sense UI. They're two separate entities each with their own goodies. I know you can get sense like widgets off the market. But anyways my belief is you can't do this but if you discover otherwise please let me know

Same boat kinda... The only thing I miss is the calendar that is in month view like in the basic stock.
Yeah I'm sure someone can make it happen though. If I find anything ill be sure to let you know.

Nope, they're tied to Rosie, I'm sure.
Use Launcherpro and Beautiful Widgets. Together, they create a very very close imitiation of Rosie. Beautiful Widgets has the people widget and Calendar widget that look exactly like Sense.
And if you like the clock, use Fancy Widget. A whole combination of these on a different ROM will make you think you're using Sense
Yeah I'm just gunna cut my losses and stick with a stock warm z rom. Any good dashboards recommended? I am a fan of the adw honey comb theme

LP? Yeah, I just usually do a search for Launcherpro in the Market and it comes up. But if LP makes you happy, let's flash a ROM to celebrate.
Just noticed that after using LPP i was still able to use the TW widgets. Coming from Evo HTC sense, didnt do that.
really???
thats awesome i love the standard clock widget. Thats why im still using tw
I love this feature. This phone kicks ass all the way around

This is only true for some of the widgets. For example, the digital clock is available but not any of the other clocks. Also the (useless?) Agenda widget is available but not any of the other calendar related widgets.
I normally don't use stock widgets but I do like the Samsung calendar/today widgets and of course, not available under an alternative launcher.
Guys i installed go launcher and i like it very much
But yhe thing is it doesbt show up stock weather widget
When i turn off go launcher and use touchwiz the weather widget is there and in go launcher it doesnt show up
Pls help

This widget needs Touchwiz Framework and Touchwiz Launcher to work. That's the reason why it doesn't work on any other launcher.
This is common among devices with proprietory uis

Sorry, but it does work on the SGS2 with Go Launcher. Are you sure we cant make it work on the SGS3?
Since you already use go launcher, why not try go weather ex from the market? I haven't used it myself, but it looks promising.

I know the feeling. Its a beautiful widget but it doesnt work on Go, Apex or Nova etc. I have tried. There may be a way but so far not broken.
Guys, I'm telling you I have it working on an S2. Here's the screen capture, you can see the widget above and the left-button Go Launcher menu at the bottom.
There's got to be a way to make it work on the S3.

What works on your s2 is irrelevant. Its most likely an updated version on your s3 with new code, probably specifically designed only to work with touchwiz. If it doesn't show up in go launcher then it doesn't work. Its as simple as that

That is old Accuweather widget, the new S3 version won't work with any others launcher at the moment.
Ok, so -for the moment- could someone post the S2 version of the widget apk? That would solve the problem, wouldn't it?

It depends. Did that widget work on other devices such as HTC? If yes, then yes. If no then maybe not.
Download a s2 touchwiz custom rom and extract the apk to find out

OP ask for S3 Accuweather widget not S2 Accuweather widget, both is different. S2 Accuweather widget is so ugly compare with this new S3 one.
I do hoping someone can make the S3 Accuweather working for launcher others than stock TouchWiz.
Fancy widgets is my preferred option even over beautiful widgets.
S3 widget is nicer, but I'd settle for the S2 one. For the moment.
Try "beautiful widgets" it's a highly customizable weather widget.
My favorite...
beautiful widget doesn,t have such beautiful accu weather,,, i am missing it on apex launcher, i hope someone will port

Ok, here's the S2 apk. It won't install on my S3. Bummer.
Try push it to system/app

I would need root for that, right?

It's already in system/app. How do I start it? If I tap the apk directly, it just tries to install itself.
Everyone who keeps naming all these launchers that are already known must not have seen the new widget on the s3. That widget is the sole purpose I'm keeping tw launcher for now, it's visually better than any other weather widget PERIOD. Praying someone modifies this to work on other launchers

Any way to be able to use the accuweather widget on other launchers yet?

Add the Calendar widget to this question as well. Only downfall of using a custom launcher as both of those are actually pretty nice widgets.
I'm looking for Accuweather apk also. I made this same thread in this same forum last week.
Accuweather widget looks great! I want this on my apex Launcher.

Touchwiz Calender Widget
Am really trying to get the Samsung Calender Widgets to work on APEX. And FYI, Nova sucks and crashes with themes, APEX has a lot more settings and is way better. Not sure where the widgets for the launchers are stored, im sure if we extracted the apk and placed it in the APEX launcher widgets it would recognize. Def a lot more difficult than it soundsd. Anybody have any progress on this
I would also like to use the calendar and weather widgets with other launchers

Accuweather apk
Can some get the apk for galaxy S3 accuweather widget.
Hi guys,
I'm currently switcher over to start using nova launcher however I can't get the calender widget to act right. I love how it looks on TouchWiz, however when I use the widget over on nova launcher it's pretty terrible and overall different. On touchwiz, the Calender widget displays as a month view which is really nice, and I can easily add things to the calender without launcher the calender app.
On Nova Launcher, I'm finding that the calender widget is different, and instead of having a month view, it just shows the present day.
Any advice or Calender widget apps to recommend?
There are numerous calender apps on the market. Try a few of them.

I use retro date. It's part of the retro clock app.
Edit
Nvm. It just links to stock calender. I'm using adw launcher and the Callender widget looks the same as stock tw, but only a 2x3 size
I'm trying out Business Calendar and liking it so far. I'm trying to find replacements for all the TW features I like so I can jump to CM10 when it gets a little more stable.
