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:

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.
Right now, I'm running CM 6 and I had launcher pro plus, loved the widgets but i found it was using up quite a bit of my battery. I'm trying to switch back to ADW launcher but I cant find anything close to the widgets that Launcher pro offered(i.e. bookmarks, messaging scroll widget). I've looked at beautiful widgets, pure messenger, and some other ones but can't quite find anything like it.
Is there a way to get sense widgets on cm6 other than launcherpro? Even the clock widget that has alarm+timer+stopwatch when you click it(i have weather widgets so it looks identical). And also the bookmarks4x4 and messaging scrollable widgets.
No you can not get sense widgets unless you are running a 1.5 ROM or Sense its self because the apps need to be ported along with the corresponding framework, which was done on some 1.5 ROM[look it up]. If you really want them search for a stable sense ROM idk if 32A has any but i know 32b does have a stable one by Xillius . Use Launcher Pro or Pro Plus and find a battery optimization apk as-well..
If you want sense... use a senseui rom. Simple as that.

A few days ago I installed the froyo aospmod from this thread: link, and I just love it as it does everything I need it to do and it's fast as hell, but the thing that is bothering me is that the launcher doesn't have any animations. For example when scrolling through homescreens or opening the appdrawer everything is instant and not as smooth as other third party launchers or the htc sense launcher. gingerbread launcher 2.3 works like I want it to with smooth transitions and effects but it has the new grey dock background and I really like the froyo (glass) background. So my question is there a fix for this or is there something missing? I really hope there is as I'd like to keep my phone as stock as possible and the gingerbread dock just doesn't seem right to me.
I have an HTC Sprint Hero in case that helps any. I've tried mixing the xml files from the anim folder from the 2.3 launcher to the launcher 2 but that didn't help any. I've been searching for a fix for the past two days so any help is appreciated.
Try more launchers. My favorite is adw ex. Launcher plus pro is nice. Go launcher is nice. Etc, etc, etc.
Thanks I'm using launcher pro at the moment, I just thought maybe there was a fix for this as I've seen other people with the same ROM and launcher but with the nice scrolling and transitions. Maybe its a hero issue? Hopefully someone does know a fix for this instead of replacing the launcher completely.
Is there anyway to enable a cascade home screen menu when you're already home and you press home again (like in HTC's Sense UI) on the stock launcher (or an alternate launcher that has a stock UI) on a rooted n1?
I'd really prefer not to run a third party launcher if at all possible.
I tried searching but only found results for fixing broken screens. :-\
Thanks for your help.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by cascade homescreen menu but I doubt what you want is possible in the stock launcher. Regardless I suggest you install something like Launcher Pro for added features but above all else, for the massive improvement in speed and smoothness. It was really a night and day difference on my phone and you can make Launcher Pro look exactly like stock. It was like buying a new phone.
As said in the title. Do you find TouchWiz :
- convenient
- just different from stock Android
- un-convenient
?
Thanks for advance.
Thank you everybody for all your answers (just kidding) !
Let me add mine as I now have a Galaxy Note :
I find TouchWiz very nice. It is ergonomic, it does not slow the phone, and it greatly improves the look of vanilla Android (version 2.3.6 & 4.0.3).
I found touchwiz 4.0 a bit nice but im using ADW Launcher EX.
I very much like touchwiz over any 3rd party launcher because of all the features it has. I especially like the folders: I just wish Samsung would let us make a backup of folders . When I was flashing my SGS2 a lot, I HATED having to put my icons back into their folders. Not keeping folders I find to be a big mess.
I like touchwiz, go launcher is good too, but I much prefer Touchwiz
i am happy with touchwiz and no plan on changing it.
Used to dislike touchwiz very much, but I understand the Note has an improved version, e.g. resizable widgets, two way directions when scrolling through available widgets etc.
Now on the Note, it's my default launcher, though I also have Zeam--used to be my favourite--and LauncherPro Plus installed.
If nothing else, it's because I can create folders in TouchWiz whereas I can't do that in Zeam, and also the app drawer opens more smoothly.
I do like having 6 dock icons on Zeam though!

Thanks for the GO Launcher mention, it's my new free favorite launcher making my EVO 4G feel new+cool again with all those customizable effects (faster than sense too).
Go Launcher should now also help make it easier for me to hold out for CES news before deciding on my SGNote move..
I had to factory reset my EVO on Christmas after it was stuck in an infinite bootup loop for the first time but at least it fixed issues I was having with it.
- How is TouchWiz better than Go Launcher? TouchWiz looks like my dad's cookie cutter iPhone?
as a former iPhone user. I like TouchWiz; it also adds more features and shortcuts to Pure Google Android.
Got nothing against TouchWiz, it works well but it uses A LOT of resources.
Don't use any TouchWiz specific things really (Unless S-Pen features like S-Memo, S-Memo lite and screenshot annotation count)
