Does anyone know if the Briefing Page(FlipBoard) can be used with another launcher such as Nova?
If how is that accomplished?
Thanks
Probably not since "Briefing" is something Samsung got together with Flipboard to create an exclusive extension of the touchwiz home screen. If anything like that would be available, it would be a widget or through another third party homescreen- but not nova.
Works for me on nova

Is there any way to get the widget to work right with a different launcher? I'm using lancherpro and it will resize the widget but the widget will not show all the info it should.
same problem.....
Hold on, trying with ADW launcher.
Edit: it seems that it has been integrated in TouchWiz. When you manually extend it vertically in TW you'll see the next days forecast, which doesn't appear in ADW Ex launcher. So you can only have it in the original 2x1 format if you us another launcher than TW.

I love the stock touchwiz calendar widget that shows the full month with actual text on the days. Ever since I switched to nova, I can only access the calendar widget that comes with stock android. Is there a way to get touchwiz Widgets with nova?
Same problem here.

I also was dissapointed the touchwiz calendar widget was missing. The best compromise I came up with was to have it activated by double tapping the home screen.
Meeeeeeeh
I looked at a couple of other launchers and they don't have the TouchWiz calendar either - just the default. That full month widget must be something created specifically for TouchWiz like how some launchers have unique widgets to them. Might want to email the dev and see if they can extract the TouchWiz full month widget or create a similar one.
Give Calendar Pad a try it also shows text for appointments on Month Widget, only issue I have is it isn't optimized for tablets but works great on phones.

Hi,
I would like to ask you for some help in finding am alternative to the Action Memo widget used under the Touch Wiz launcher.
I'm using APEX launcher and I would like to have a simple widget that will aloud me to draw (scribble) a quick note with my S Pen, just like I do with Action Memo. Because of the launcher I'm using, I'm not able to use the Action Memo widget.
Did you found a solution to this?
Regards,
Stefan

S Note has a widget, not the best though
S Note... S Memo, Cute Memo... can try those - or just try searching play store for something similar to your Action Memo.
Thank you all, but none of them fit my needs.
What I'm looking for its a widget that show a note containing a drawing. The best example is the Action Memo widget, but I cannot use it because I use Apex launcher. Another example is GO Note widget, but this also cannot be used with Apex launcher.
How about you switch launcher then. Maybe Nova or my fav ADW launcher ex.
Or you try searching play store/google for one that fits your needs.
We can't have everything -- but can try ^^.
Good luck!
Action Memo doesn't work with any of them, or any other launcher excepting Samsung Touch Wiz.
I tried to find one and I'm still searching in play store. But nothing for now.
Ok I'm confused... I thought you were looking for a note/drawing app widget.. but seems you want the actual Action Memo widget Air Command that is like Pie Control, that allows you to choose the note or drawing apps?
If that's the case, it depends on the ROM you're on... and you can use a note 3 mod (like in Hurricane ROM or Dr. Ketan's ROM/Mods ... or just get something like Pie Control (I used Pie Control Pro) and add your shortcuts to them.
Not sure if any of those fit your bill - otherwise hope for someone else that can give the solution you're looking for.
Good luck!
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.
So now that Google deprecated the Google Launcher, what is my best bet to make my Tab S4 look and behave more like my Pixel 3? I've frozen the Samsung apps by and large and replaced them with the Google ones on the home screen. What is my option for overall behavior? I'm a fan of Samsung hardware, but not any of their interfaces that I've ever used. I may still be bitter from TouchWiz UI.
personally I m using Nova or Shade Launcher (there are other options)

I use Action Launcher - have used it for years on my tablets and my cell phone.
Lighting launcher
I use Nova Launcher Prime cause I need all the fancy stuff, but for cleaness I would use Lawnchair Launcher. Simple launcher, with yet, a few good features under the hood, including the usefull Sidepanel with Google News Feed.
How did you freeze apps?
