Which features of the Note7 get disabled due to custom launcher? - Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Just wanted to know from those of you who have the phone and installed a custom launcher if there are Touchwiz features that get disabled.
I'm currently using a Note4 and one of the things that got disabled was the S Planner widget, the Music app stopped showing up on the lockscreen (although it returned after the 6.0.1 update) and a few more.
Technically this also applies to S7 and S7 Edge users.

i highly doubt it will but im hoping secure folder will work while using other launchers

S7 flat owner here, using Nova disables nothing, but GNL means losing these widgets: Weather, S Planner and My Places. Edge owners should still be able to use My Places tho, as it's on the edge tab.

Are you sure about that? It's still not showing S Planner as an option when using Nova.

[Q] Best lockscreen notification app?

Hi! Which app do you belive is the best lockscreen notificaton app? I like nils very much, but even Lockepro isn't bad, love the swipe for dismiss or launch the app! Just hate that the clock won't refresh immediately XD
I like dashclock

Nice app, but for Amoled screen it's quit better..On the Nexus 4 it's a battery killer!
I'll have to test battery life without using...I just thought the battery on the Nexus 4 was underpowered. I drain about 12% an hour with normal use.

Tried dynamic notifications, didn't care for it much. Back to using dash clock.

still using dashclock and happy with that
Tried to combine Knock and Dashclock but its not a goed mix...
I use Floating Notification. It's just enough and doesn't take up the whole screen. I like that I can quick reply as well.
Nils+ working great for me. I can read whole whatsapp messages, gmail, Facebook, all my notifications right on my lockscreen. Exactly what I was looking for.

Dashclock widget is great, coupled with dashnotifier extension you get everything covered

Question. Can you add weather and battery status on Nils like you can do with Dashclock?
I tried Knock V2 but its not a good combo with Dashclock
Sent from my Nexus 4
I personally prefer to use Floating Notifications, with HALO enabled. HALO is basically what PA uses to display their notifications. It launches the app in a floating window, so you can access it from full-screen apps such as games. Of course, you'll have to have a rooted phone for this to work, and enable HALO in the app as well as download the Xposed framework module.

[Q] Can I change the UI/launcher as easily as the Notes 2?

Hello, TouchWiz and the dock on the right seem to be integrated into the Note 10.1 2014. Can I change the launcher and user interface easily on the Note 10.1 2014 as if it were the Note 2?
As on every android device you can change the launcher by installing lauchers from the playstore. I can recommend nova launcher which is perfect for customization and speed

Never had any issues regarding battery life guess this is a result if a widget keeps updating itself but like I said from my personal experience there was never such an issue

It's only marginal but every device I've had nova does drain the battery quicker

Stock widget?

This is going to seem like a weird one, but I can't find the stock widget that's used for clock and weather when I use Nova launcher. Anyone have the file or know where to find it? Thanks.

If you change launchers you usually don't get access to the stock widgets LG and Samsung only allow you to use it if you use their launcher.

I second that, I would like to get rid of it. However, I read somewhere that you can't. I have tried everything and only thing that works is to change launcher. I use NOVA launcher but TouchWiz has gotten a little better and would like to try it with out that magazine left screen.
