Is it possible to make widgets that look like those that are found in the hero roms, for a regular home screen? Do you think it would be posible to port the aesthetics over to widgets for the other home apps? because those by and far knock out the current widgets in the looks department.
Just an idea.
I second that. I would love to see full screen Weather widget with some animation.... and a bookmark widget... and Twitter widget... and Email widget.... I want all of them!!!!!
Would like this too...Any devs interested?
Count me in ! i also want all these widgets especially the message widget, our G1 are nt fully using 3D.
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!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Hello! When i first got my Captivate, the daily buzz widget was on one of my desktop pages. I really like that widget, but the problem is it wont work with Open Home or ADW.
Does anybody know of another widget like this that works on Open Home and/or ADW? The standard facebook and myspace widgets are garbage and hardly usable...
hi guys,
i hate blinkfeed screen , so i have assigned another free screen for home and add weather widget.
widget refresh perfect,but blinkfeed screen doesnt.actually i dont use it but while lockscreen active,i cant see my location info and weather info.
how can i solve ?
Impressed with the layout, I just came from a NOTE 2 and previous from that was a ONE S. Phone design and materials are solid, but the clock, calendar and social media front screen all look plain, is there a ROM that will make it look like the widgets from the ONE S?
I'm coming from Windows Phone while waiting for their next gen devices. The One is a great and solid phone.
Sense 5 surprised me for its simplicity and well thought features and design. I guess there are people like you that don't like that aspect but you can easily change it using other ROM or widgets. For the widgets, there are many UCCW skins for clock, weather and other things. For calendar I use Clear Calendar Widget and for weather EZ Weather (free with no ads, great interface and good looking widgets). I use Nova Launcher Prime so I can't use stock Sense 5 widgets.
You can change your home screen to skip going to BlinkFeed when pressing the home button. If I remember correctly you can change it in the screen where you can add or delete other screens. Tap the one you one to be your home page and it will change. If you don't use BlinkFeed, remove everything from it.
I don't have the phone yet (**** you Verizon) but I'm guessing you cant use blink feed in another home replacement like Nova can you?
Also have they made any improvements to the way Sense 5 can be customized for icons and such? Can you hide icon names yet? Can you change how many icons you can have on the screen? (example: like adding rows and columns)
