Can someone please check their Widget list and see if the stock messaging/ SMS widget is there. For some reason mine is missing, i use nova launcher and thought that maybe the issue, but its not there in stock launcher either.
Thanks.
I don't use it but I just tried to set a widget and it doesn't appear in my list of widgets.
What the heck. The widget used to be there for me on my S9. Can someone else confirm if they see it or not also. It makes Bo since why it would be removed. On my work phone galaxy S6. It is working as usual.

Same reason they removed image resizing from the photo editing app, replaced "keep screen off in a dark place such as pocket or bag" with "touch is disabled in a dark place", screen will now happily come on and stay on though... and other dumb changes that make no sense
At a guess for the messages widget, stats probably showed it wasn't used much but who knows with Samsung
anyone get a previous version working? i really miss a widget..

Use a different SMS app that contains a widget?
Android Messages has widgets and is a much better app in my opinion.
i really like to keep my phone minimalist with no extra apps unless i have too.. also it's nice having one that respects the theming engine of the phone.

Then there's no reason to even buy a high end phone especially with Samsung's less than stellar apps. Just my opinion, but like a**holes, everybody has one.

The widget is gone for me also. Happened when I updated the Google Android Messages app on Google play store yesterday. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the Google SMS app several times which was not stock on my phone, have cleared my phone's cache a from the safe mode screen, and also cannot find the SMS widget for stock messages app or Facebook Messenger.

After toying around on and off all day, I found an older version of the Google Android Messages app that works and has the widget. I do not promote installing apps from unverified sources outside if the Google Play Store as it can be a risk to your device. Here is the application that I found to be working:

Hi!
Is there a method for using stock SMS android ics app on official Samsung gs2 ics rom?
The system, whit 4.0.3 version, Is fast and fluid... but samsung SMS app is horrible!
I like phone app...Samsung personalization is beautiful... but not for SMS!
thanks for your work...

Samsung Messaging has a crappy theme but it's superior to the stock Messaging app.

Superior in what way?
Thanks a lot!
The standard samsung app is better than stock but graphically deviates too much from holo.
I immediately downloaded the application that you have shown me, but unfortunately doesn't work ... After having opened app it crashes.
In particular, he shows me the list of all messages (distinguishing read from unread) but when I try to go into a conversation stops everything.
I use GoLauncherEx on Samsung official 4.0.3 rom. When the application crashes, even golauncher crashes! For a few seconds the screen is all black (it show me only tray bar)!
I know that GoLauncherEx isn't optimized for ics but is the only launcher that lets me create folders in the program list (I have much application and I need it!).
Actually ICS isn't very stable on my device and I'm almost regretting gingerbread!
I can do anything about it?
Thanks again for your support,
I hope one day I'd help forum people.

That is very strange. Which firmware did you install? I installed XEO (polish version) and didn't get a single crash or problem what so ever. I had a few problems in rooting it, though (needed to wipe it first and re-flash the orginial ICS firmware before rooting to get the root rights recognized). But once that got fixed, everything was and still is perfect.
Or maybe it is because of the go launcher ex? I was using TW the entire afternoon (13.03) without crashes. At night I installed Apex launcher as system launcher and no crashes either (one day running), very low battery consumption and awesome looks. You can add the ICS Theme Pack from kovdev to get the ICS icons.
Hello element!
I've installed the XEO firmware, then polish, just like you.
I have not done the wipe but updated via OTA.
I had already installed GoLauncher. When I've upgraded I've selected Golauncher instead of Tw.
Currently I have encountered frequent application crashes and one total block of the system. The battery, to be honest, I can not tell if it lasts more than gingerbread why I used the phone a lot for various customizations.
I do not know if the problem is that I did not do a wipe.
If he continues to give me problems I do a backup. After I install the rom again.
Tonight I remove the battery and after power on. Tomorrow, we'll update on my test.
PS The biggest problem is GoSmsPro. it sends multiple messages at one time. If I send you a message, you will receive two. I do not know how to solve.
PS2 The root I did with Odin and had no problems ...
Thanks for the help,
Hello!
As I promised you I a write updates.
I solved the problem of low stability: I made a deepclean and then installed applications without syncing (I installed all the applications manually).
Now I have one problem, the phone crashes when I try to change the background. If you have any idea: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23727272#post23727272
For the rest new rom does not seem bad ...

Hey, check it out: One so called Tim Hutt put the stock calendar, messaging, and launcher app in the market and they all work just fine for me. The apps are called "Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS", "Android 4 ICS Calendar", and "Android 4 ICS Launcher".
The only bug I have (and it's not a big one) is that the screen doesn't light up when you receive a text message... Perhaps this is because I disabled/removed the official Samsung messaging services though... If you leave the default services enabled, then the screen lights up like normal but you have to select a setting in the ICS messaging app to disable the message receiver because then both the Samsung app and the ICS app will both write the text message to the database and you'll have duplicate incoming messages. Just go to settings and scroll to the very bottom to see what I mean... Enable that option if you don't remove the Samsung services/apps.

So here's the story, I saw some cool apps that were only available for Samsung devices, I did some searching, and I ended up with some files completely irrelevant to what I was originally looking for,
These files were flashable zips of the S4's TouchWiz launcher and the weather widget to go long with it.
For some random reason (boredom), I decided to flash these (after a backup of course).
Guess what?
They work!
Not just "they work" with some glitches. I mean perfectly smooth with not a single problem!
Update: it seems that the app drawer shortcut cannot be re-positioned from the far right of the four quick-access shortcut bar thing (whatever you call it. If anyone finds a way to fix this, feel free to let us know!)
Update 2: the launcher seems to close and re-open quickly every few hours, it might just be me or the launcher may be just a tiny bit unstable. Either way, it's barely noticeable and doesn't affect the launcher's functionality.
Here's the links to the files:
(I did not upload these, credit goes to the uploader specified in the link)
The launcher

The weather widget

I may be more hyped about this than I should be, but either way,

good find buddy, as far as the launcher opening and closing, ima try something. with samsung i think the twframework.jar is in the classpath in the ramdisk. i added it to the classpath and flashed both zips. lets see if it fixes anything, i'll let you know tomorrow.

I'm sorry, but I've been changing roms and launchers almost daily to find which ones work best for me.
I only posted about this launcher to let others know.
To be honest I didn't even keep it for more than a couple hours.

Freezing magazines creates problems with stock mail app?
Can anyone confirm if freezing My Magazines causes the stock mail app to randomly crash?
It's the case on my Note 3 (don't ask my why, it just is) and I like to use Gmail app for personal and stock email for university emails.
Every time I would try to open stock email from a notification it would crash but work fine when restarted, until the next email that is...

Is it possible? Disable My Magazine
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
This mail Crap happens to me also I hate it! Like wtf Samsung, what do those two have to do with each other? Nothing, yet Samsung has managed to screw that up....
Run My Magazine then from settings you can disable the home button from bringing it up which removes the home button delay but can still swipe up from home screen to less intrusively bring it up.
Are we capable of disabling My Magazine without root without ill effect?

Just my musings perhaps Samsung didn't screw it up and wanted to make sure people don't get rid of My Magazine through deliberate linkage. By linking various parts together to have performance it forces users not to tinker to disable commercial software. Then again maybe I am giving Samsung more credit then they deserve. I wanted to get rid of it after I saw its real purpose besides being a nag. So I delinked it from the gesture to bring it up and now I am pretty happy.
Doc
This isn't exactly a fix...but this is how i disabled it.
After installing Apex Launcher and modifying how the home button (set to do nothing on long press) and gestures (swipe up brings out the list of my recently opened apps) work for the home screen, My Magazine won't come up again. I'm not sure if other launchers will function the same way though.
Yea this happens with me to....total crap. One of the first things I noticed was that after I finished freezing all the bloat that my work email started screwing up like this. Didn't take long to figure it out....What the hell Samsung....total bull**** ****ing crap. And the fact that no one seems to be able to figure it out....much worse! I wonder if any devs have successfully removed it....they must have, no? There's got to be a way, this is android guys!
---------- Post added at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------
Just had an idea....What about grabbing the apk for the email program off a different device, removing my magazine and the email program from the note, and then throwing the other apk on and trying that out? Maybe?
Hi guys I want to combine the advantages of the fast system updates of the Pixel 2 XL and the Launcher of HTC Sense 9. On my Note 8 the launcher works just fine with the newsfeed. On the Pixel 2 XL its also working but I cant get the News Republic App working that is needed to get the newsfeed filled up. The News Republic App on the Playstore is working fine and not crashing but its not usable on the Sense Homescreen.
Maybe someone can fix that?
The Sense 9 Launcher and Apps could be downloaded here:

Only problem I'm having with this launcher is that it doesn't stretch all the way down when I'm using immersive mode. Huge black bar at the bottom
I'd like that app/shortcut wheel to pop-up when I squeeze, like the U11+

Sounds cool but let me ask you this; does that apk need to be a system app to work properly? I would think it would, kind of like how GNL needed to be a system app in order for the Now pane to work on other devices.
Magisk has that App Systemizer module... maybe give that a shot?

No problem. It definitely is odd that it works fine as a user app on 2 devices and not on another. But hey it can't hurt to give it a shot and see, right? Good luck, and post back after.

Wasn't working either. News Republic is still force closing all the time even as a system app. I also tested it by converting all sense apps as system apps.
Maybe Android 8.1 is the problem why it's not working
hi guys.
Just switched from HTC to the Pixel 2 XL and the one thing I really loved about HTC is Sense.
I downloaded the modules but having issues:
- Installing HtcSenseHome - v9.14.929638 via Astro fails with no details; everything else gets installed
- The clock and weather widget does not detect the current location; HtcLocationServicesSetting - v1.02.636275 and LocationPicker - v3.20.817412 are installed
Any idea?
So for the first time I wanted to use the eraser tool to find the entire photos app just crashes. Anyone else?
Not only this but the large weather widget is still unresponsive to opening Google weather.
Getting pretty sick of the constant botches that seem to be happening with my 6pro. They barely fixed the poor cell signal issue.
No crashing with Google Photos or editing for me - use them both every day. But yes, the large weather widget is still unresponsive. No other issues for me, though. Luckily, I use Weawow for my main home screen's weather widget - so configurable with transparent widgets and all the info I need without clicking on it most of the time. I only use two other weather widgets on alternate home screens to see if there's a consensus between different weather services.

Just looked and my photos app has just updated today version. Version 5.76.0.425427310
Seems to just be magic eraser that crashes the app.
Weather I've given up on for now. Google support just went quiet.

I have no Photos update available for me in the Play Store - manually checked to be sure. I'm on 5.75.0.424739917. Are you signed up for their Beta program of Google Photos? Magik Eraser is working on mine without a crash. If you are signed up in their Beta program, maybe you should leave it, although it won't "downgrade" the app version immediately.
Also, tried rebooting?

No beta. Looks like it's just rolling out. Tried clearing cache and reboot and nothing.
Had Google phones every two years since Nexus 4 and the 6pro has been the most buggy and annoying of the lot.

I had the same thing happen to me.... There are reports of the Photos update crashing when trying to use magic eraser. I unistalled the update and installed the January 31st build from apk mirror and all is working again.
Im using 5.75.0.424739917 currently with no issue.

Does your Google large weather widget also fail to open Google weather? This is again another bug since a recent update.
Google have rolled out am update for Photos again and looks like it's fixed.
The broken large weather widget remains however despite an update rolled out for the Google app there.

I wonder how an obvious bug like this get's through QA. Does Google even have a QA department? I mean this is not a minor bug, it's a massive, app breaking bug that renders a central function of the phone (magic eraser is one of the prime features of the P6) inoperable. Imagine a car manufacturer making an update and forgetting to check if the doors can still be opened. lmao
