I loved the ICS calendar (agenda) and photo gallery widgets from the previous builds, how can I get them for the official ICS? Thanks!
Also, any way to use S planner widget on Nova launcher?
It seems this update is still incompatible with many icons/widgets ATM. I have many icons missing using Go Launcher EX and it suffers from a lot of lag over GB.
I guess only time will be the cure for now.
Update: I pulled gallery apk from cm9 and put it in system/app..it works! The widget is there!
Unfortunately, calendar, doesn't work...I tried moving calender and calenderprovider apk's from cm9 over but it won't show up after reboot, and won't install (says existing app with conflicting certificate exists?). Any advice?
Along these same lines...can I replace MMS.apk from CM9 over the stock ICS one? I much prefer the look. Also the dialer? Will this be safe?
Also, in regards to the calendar..is S planner conflicting? Can I just backup/delete s planner and then install CM9 calendar apk?

Arti's fancy contacts widget is decent, but not as good as LP's contacts widget. Search the market though, there are a couple of different ones out there.
I have searched the posts for the stock desktop widgets- specifically the ap-news/accuweather widget but I have not found it. Someone took the time to zip up the Samsung signed Widgets but after installing in recovery mode they don't appear (may not even be included. Does anyone know of the marketplace app name or where I can find the stock widget?
Thanks!

you do know you require the TouchWiz to use the Samsung Widgets, Correct?
No - don't even know really what TouchWiz is. I realize now what it is. Between that post and today though I had to revert back to the stock ROM. My Exchange account kept "disappearing".
So...I now have the stock widgets!
BTW - there are some things I really liked in the Axura ROM - the "all applications" section (cube like scrolling) - is that something that is usually baked into the ROM or is that modifiable/replaceable in any ROM?

the Stock Launcher and Launcher pro both offer that 3d app drawer, but you will lose the stock widgets.
After installing the latest Rocket Rom V20, i noticed that the widgets were grouped by app, now after a couple of days i noticed that the widgets aren't grouped anymore. Any way to make them grouped again ?
thanks!
If you are using an different Launcher, you can modify in launcher settings.
using adw, any idea where it is ?
it's called AppWidgetPicker and it should be present in most custom ROMs for gNote.

First, I replaced the launcher. Apex Launcher is based on the stock ICS Launcher and looks great, but getting it to work with the weather and clock widgets seems to be crappy. These widgets know how to change layout based on size, and it seems like Apex is failing to notify them of the size change. Anyone know how to get those widgets to use a layout other than the long, thin stripe when using Apex?
Second, I'm wondering if I should replace the camera / gallery apps. Is there a significant advantage to the standard ICS apps? I'm hoping there's some reason Samsung gave us the old Gallery app, but anyone know what it is? Is the stock ICS gallery available to install?
I think if u just wait for a while. Some one will release a "Custom" Rom with re-design. Even though it will be stock with a layer on top of it, it will be all u need.

I'm not really interested in a custom ROM. Trying to stick with the stock roms as much as I can. That doesn't mean I won't install some better apps.
use Quickpic for gallery; significantly better than stock gallery, regardless of OS version!
As for weather widget, here's something to try:
Go to Apex Settings, Advanced settings, then uncheck "resize any widget"
see if the switch to conventional ICS resizing will change the Accuweather widget behaviour...
No guarantee but give it a go!

Yep should have added "watch this thread" to follow for ICS note version when done as ICS only out this week and no one will have it themed yet.
Personally I had a S2 and tried most themes and allways went back to stock plus a ICS look launcher, follow the S2 themes and you will see all themes don't get things right 100% grey txt on black background and then there was CM 9 etc with custom apps themed and you loose some of the original functionality.
Or follow checkrom.com for a ICS vers coming shortly???
Hello!
I noticed, that in apex launcher i don't have some widgets that i do have in stock tuchwiz. For example the weather widget or s planer widget. I got really used to apex but I would like to use that widgets to. Is there any fix to this problem?
Btw, I'm using latest alliance rom (LSA leak).
Thanks
I was searching for a solution to this as well. This is a known issue currently without a fix.
The stock widgets comes from the Touch Wiz UI, therefore you can't find it in other UI. It is not totally impossible to make it available in other UI, but most users wanted to use another UI because it has better widgets and mods, so it is unlikely that you will find stock widgets in other UI. I personally prefer the SPlanner widget, so I am still staying on TW.
I hope this clears things up. If you find this helpful, please press thank button. :fingers-crossed:
