As the title says, is there any way we can use Samsung widgets on Launcher pro , ADW launcher etc.?
It would be great if we can. Sorry if this question is posted before.
I second that, there must be a tweak that allows us to use them with ADW?
Sorry. You just can't.
It's got to do with the widgets being built into the launcher or something. It's the same with HTC and their sense widgets.
I would like to see what everyone is using for there home launcher. If you could put a screen shot of it up and tell me the launcher name so I can kind of see what is what without having to download all of them. I know of ADW, LauncherPro, and NetFront. Thanks
There's already one of these threads, but.
ADW Launcher EX (Paid one)
Launcher Pro. Icons are dreamlyfe.

I'm running gb-12 rom right now and I'm just wondering if there was any possible way to have scrollable widgets on a touchwiz launcher (touchwiz 4).
I find the touchwiz launcher much more stable, smooth and responsive compared to more feature packed launchers like adw ex or launcher pro.
I would love using the touchwiz launcher as my primary launcher if it could use scrollable widgets.
..anybody?
No not unless the launcher supports it and very few stock launchers do. I would get a different launcher
Damn....
touchwiz 4 is so buttery smooth compared to launcher pro and adw (when it's not being buggy)

try go launcher
I've gotta try this, thanks.
I actually just downloaded this app called Android Pro Widgets and the contacts widget actually scrolls (After the hit the scroll button) it's one small extra step but worth it to keep touchwiz. Try it and see if you like it
As the title itself. I'm looking for a compatible launcher for paranoid android.
aside from trebuchet (ofcourse) and s3 launcher. since I've tried already s3 launcher.but i didn't make it to work.
Try Apex launcher or Nova launcher

I used the touch wiz launcher originally, but want to try the google now launcher. But now none of my apps show up. Am I better off starting over from scratch with a factory reset?
Which launcher are you using?
I am using nova.
Assuming you did not disable the TW launcher, go to setting...scroll down to applications and select. When that menu pop up, look to your upper left corner you will see three dots going down...click it. Choose default applications, than you will see the option to choose your default home screen under "set as default".

I like Apex, but it was becoming difficult to tell what themes, icons, launcher would stick. I'd fix one thing and something else would vanish, got tired of that. So I found a theme from the Theme Store and now I can stand looking at Touchwiz!!

The Google launcher works fine as long as you don't set up the secure folder, after that is done all the apps disappear from the app drawer...

I am currently using Nova Launcher Prime. Also have Apex Launcher Pro Installed and running in my Note 7 as just in case.
There are reasons that I am not using TouchWiz UX (Grace) Launcher nor Chrome Now Launcher as you will see below:
Here are a 4 Home Launchers that I didn’t choose to stay with after testing with the Note 7
Google Now Launcher – Way too limited. Didn’t transferred the app icons to the App Drawer. So I can’t even copy the Phone Dialer icon over to the Apps Dock. Disappointed since I was wishing to truly integrate Google vanilla experience to the Note 7.
Go Launcher Z – They only allow you to use their Widgets and no third party Widgets. WHAT!!! No Go! They also are getting into Ads and charging lots to get rid of ads (GO Launcher Super v i p price $19.99 (45% off the full price). Go Launcher Prime is $5.99 which I have.
ADW Launcher 1 (New) – Getting less customized and more Google material style. For an example I like transparent App Drawer. The new ADW Launcher only gives you colors like 90s websites for the background in the App Drawer. I used to love ADW, but they are now going backwards.
TouchWiz UX (Grace) - Very lagging, no default access to Live wallpapers, you can't see some of your icons in landscape mode, etc. I really tried to stay with TouhWiz UX. The one thing that turned me to another home launcher is that I am tired of having to go portrait mode to select apps when I am already in landscape mode.
There are serious enough problems with TouchWiz UX to give good reason for the power user to switch home launchers. TouchWiz UX is lagging, no default access to Live wallpapers, you can't see some of your icons in landscape mode, etc. We can get around that with a custom home launcher like Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher, etc. I found that both Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher doesn't get in the way of Samsung's features. Meaning both of these home launchers allow all Samsung features to work within these launchers on Note 7.
Personally I don’t like "3D" home launchers. Which is the reason I didn’t try them with Note 7.
Recommendation Note:
I recommend trying either Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Both worked wonderfully with Note 7 and provide much customization. Nova Launcher is the first one I would try out only because of the third party customization for the Nova Launcher.
I use HomeSmack to switch between home launchers. Works flawlessly with Note 7.

Not sure what you mean by "...can't see all icons in landscape mode...." for Touchwiz. I don't remember Touchwiz rotating to landscape on the home screen. One reason I've not liked it since about donut or was it gingerbread?
Nova Prime here as well.
Nova Prime, but might try AL3 ( Action Launcher ) down the road...
