I switched to Google Now Launcher and for the life of me I can't find the Weather + Pedometer widget to add to my homescreen. Is it baked into a TW only feature?
Touchwiz widgets will not work in another launcher.

Which is why I always scratch my head when people buy a Samsung device and run a third party launcher. The Touchwiz widgets are awesome imo.

All the touchwiz widgets work with apex launcher. To add them I have to make 5x5 columns and rows, or it will say no more room on homescreen.

Seriously doubt all of them work... can you add a action memo to your home screen as a widget? Does it give you the thumbtack to pin them?
I have several samsung widgets working on Nova, specifically S-Note, but the s-planner widget doesn't even show up in the list of widgets that can be placed.

I also use Apex and can use most of the Samsung widgets including pedometer and S-Memo widgets.

hi every one when i install nova launcher i loose my original sense widgets how can i get them back?
You can't get them with a 3rd party launcher.
If you want sense widgets... Use the sense rosie launcher.
As for some specific widgets like clocks... I believe there is a port for other launchers.
Generally, you'll have to use sense launcher to use sense widgets.

I can't find the way to put a lock screen widget, is it not possible?
In case it matters, I'm trying to put the Chronus widget there...
TouchWiz doesn't have the ability to use lockscreen widgets anymore, the option was taken away with the S5.

I was on a Touchwiz KK rom with my Note 2 that could have lockscreen widgets, I just wrongly assumed it could be possible in Stock TW too
Hello Everyone,
This is not something that I have created, but it is in fact something that I have checked myself and it does work successfully. I am running it now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/themes-apps/4x5-touchwiz-home-t2910243
The only complaint I have is now that I have 5x5 on TW home screen, the widgets that I have on a few pages are made for 4x4 and I cannot resize it, nor center it. Anyone know of any tricks to force a resize or set a permanent resize for each widget?
And yes, I do now that some widgets have the ability to be resized, but not all, so this is one of the ones that is not resizable lol
Ideally, I'd like to see a 4x5 option so that the widgets could be centered, but we still have 5 rows. Just my 2 cents.

He has both on the link
anyone seen or know of a deodexed 5x6 or 5x7 layout to flash ?
why not just use a custom launcher like Nova? It gives all these options plus lots more.

NOVA completely changes the stock weather widget if you use the S5 weather widget and it dont let u use the calendar widget like its supposed to. This is the main and only thing i dislike about Nova.

I agree what about making a 5x6 custom launcher for stock touch wiz that will fit the stick weather widget? Is that possible

Same question as the previous guy, how did you get the weather across from your pixel style search bar? I don't see this as an option on Nova.

Go to Nova settings/advanced. Hold volume down and the Labs menu will be enabled. You can enable the weather in the search bar from there
Thanks for the help. Here is my home screen--a lot busier than all yours, so it doesn't look as nice, but I like all my apps right in front of me

Super clean! I like it. How did you get the weather widget with that icon and no location or weather text and how did you get the date in your dock?
Nova Launcher Prime, 1Weather Widget. I wish you could hide the navigation keys like all other Android phones I've had recently, but this will do. Seems Tapatalk reduced quality, but you get the idea.

Nice and simple. Pixel launcher.

I do say that the best launcher with customization is Ofcourse Nova launcher.

Nova vs System Launcher
[Nova launcher]✓
1-App drawer
2-Change Grid
3-change dimensions
4-Widget resizing overlapping.
5-Custom folder options
6-Backup and restore Configs
7-App drawer Configs
8-Desktop Configs
[System Launcher]✓
1- Lite weight Ram friendly
2-Clean UI
3-Minimal options
4-Supported with Themes
5-beautiful Setup
Some screenshots here with some themes.
Actually System Launcher takes more RAM than nova, both are good in their own features.
MIUI launcher also has live icons for Clock, Calendar and Weather app. Almost all the launchers have live Calendar option now but if I remember correctly, MIUI v6, v7 or maybe both also had seconds display along with hour and minute hands on the clock app icon. That looks pretty if you ask me
I've used Nova launcher before. It's nice. Lots of customization. However. I am using the default MIUI launcher now and I honestly don't miss Nova.
System Launcher
I am more stock admirer so nova hands down... I actually have only one page in nova and launching most apps with appdialer. I use launcher page mainly for some informational widgets and shortcuts
Nova all the way, light and well performing
Nova its customizable, you can turn off / Block screen with Double Tap. Also support 3rd party beauty icons. The bad Thing is some widgets like clock do not work properly.
MIUI stock its very good and support a lot of beautiful themes. Pretty widget and Wallpapers but you can put apps icons by alphabetic order.
smart launcher is way better than both of them, i really dont understand why it isnt more popular
No way default launcher of mi can beat nova...ecen stock Android launcher is better than mi home launcher...After buying a mi phone the first thing I did was to install Nova launcher.
And for the second choise use Buzz launcher
System launcher

pls share the link of the themes u have applied ?
I liked Nova Launcher but i like simplicity of Evie Launcher. It has double tap lock and supports different icon packs available on playstore. Give it a try. One more thing is its Free and Ad Free. Enjoy.
I like Nova launcher for the fact you can edit truncated app names, and scroll the dock plus other things. The ONE thing MIUI launcher has in its favor is the Quick Function Widget has a toggle that will turn Mobile data on and off directly without going thru the settings. Thats a big plus for me, but you cant edit app names, or scroll the dock Its a real shame that you cant directly toggle mobile data on and off with nova or power toggle, like you can do with Native MIUI launcher
