[Q] Is there a way to use the Samsung widgets when TouchWiz is not your Launcher?

I really like some of the Samsung widgets, but to not like the Touchwiz launcher. So, I installed Launcher Pro, which I vastly prefer. Unfortunately, now the Samsung widgets are not in the add widget menu.
Is there any trick I can do to get them back?

I'd also like to know this, the Facebook Stream widget was really useful, the stock one is awful!

Yeah that is the widget I want most as well.
It is the best I have seen for android so far that integrates both twitter and facebook. I tried out this one on the market called "Socialite", it is *OK*, but not as good as the Samsung one.
So i have to decide, do I want a decent integrated Facebook / Twitter widget, or do I want a decent launcher?

???
Does anybody have an answer to this? I myself like pretty much all the futures in TW - would mainly like to change the 4 icons on the bottom and maybe even have the ability to hide the notification bar.
Is there a way to incorporate TW samsung widgets into launcher pro for example?
Thanks

I suppose Samsung's widgets are tied to the Touchwiz Launcher and incompatible with other launchers
It's a pity because I really like the Accuweather Clock over the other available widgets. But LauncherPro is so much better than the Samsung Launcher, I can't go without a launcher that lets me hide apps from the app drawer due to the massive amount of crap it gets flooded with.

You can change the left 3 icons on the bottom (but not the Applications one).
Just go to the Applications screen and press Menu and choose Edit. Then, move the icons off and put another in place.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible. I wanted to do that but was told by different ppl it was impossible. Same goes for Launcher Pro widgets in Touchwizz (i prefere the LP ones vs the Samsung). They are tied to the launcher u use.

You could put Home Switcher on each of the home screens of TW and LP then just switch between them just like moving to a different page. Just an idea.

Thanks fro the ideas, sounds like it's a no-go for right now at least.....
One more thing, does launcher pro juice the battery as same as TW? And when I used launcher pro in the past, I really liked to use the option "hide notification bar", i think it gives it a cleaner look, but at the same time it won't notify me when i receive an email ( other than the sound), I did search this in the past with no luck, so is there a widget, icon, something that I can install that will show on the screen when I received email, when using LP?
Thanks

I use executive assistant but it is a paid app. Worth it I believe though.

How to get # notification on text and mail icons for Gingerbread roms?

Hey guys, just wondering if there is a way to get the number of notifications listed on the icon like in Sense roms? I am using Typhoon's CM7 rom.

Do you mean a notification icon that says how many text messages you have? If so, you can get gosms or similar text message app from the market. A lot of them do this.

What launcher are you using? If you have ADW, I think you need ADW notifications from market. Same goes for Go launcher. I am not sure about launcher pro.

Adw, then get "adw notifier"

Launcher pro has it already

Go Launcher + Go Notifications is another possibility.
If you want a standalone widget you can try SMS Unread Count from market. Works for SMS, Calls and GMail.

Call, SMS and Gmail, WhatsApp notification?

Hello I'm searching for an app oder widget, which shows me the number of missing calls and messages in different symbols. On my old phone I used the GO Laucher EX and the notification plug-in. Now on the Nexus S, I want to use the stock launcher but I miss the notification function a lot. Is there a working alternative in the big android market?

using a different launcher while on sense based rom

i noticed when i first installed nova launcher that i would not get the unread count on the icons on the lockscreen say when i got a text or something. but now for some reason i do get the notification badge (but it doesnt always stay updated, says 1 even though i already opened the message)
so basically my question is, is sense kinda still running in the background when im using nova launcher? is it technically not supposed to show the notification badge when im not using the sense launcher like when im using nova launcher instead.
can anyone with nova launcher confirm with me if they still get the notification badges on the lockscreen if you are using a sense rom?
thanks

Nova Launcher and Notification Bubble Icons

I use Nova Launcher Prime instead of TouchWiz for my default home screen/launcher. I can't seem to figure out how to get the notification bubbles to work with all apps like Email and Facebook. Facebook had never shown the notification number bubble, email had been buggy. I have installed MissedIt! for use with nova launcher but no luck. I haven't made any changes to the MissedIt! app other than installing it. Can anyone help? I like nova launcher but I would really like my Facebook bubble icon notifications to work as well as others. Thanks.

Have you installed Tesla Unread? That's all I've ever used with Nova and I've never had any problems. (I don't have facebook but the notification bubbles on all of my other apps work fine.)

Tesla Unread is automatically included. it is AMAZING! even shows unread bubbles for my texting app ChompSMS :good:

I use MissedIt! as the unread app. I needed to create the application elements in MissedIt! and now they work as needed. Thanks for the help.
