I have owned Galaxy SII, Galaxy SIII and Galaxy Note 2. They all included "torch" widget in stock UI out of the box. It was really handy as a flash light.
I can't find torch widget/app in Note 3. I know I can install a 3rd party app but I would like to run as few apps as possible in the phone to save battery/RAM.

It's now called Assistive Light.

I do not see Assistive Light in my apps or widgets. I am on stock touchwiz 4.3. Can you post a picture if you have it?
I bought brand new tab pro 8.4 and I just noticed that there is no splanner widget at widget section. However when I checked system folder I saw that there is splanner_widget.apk and its odex file. I use this widget a lot and any solution to get this widget back? Thanks for ur help..
edit: sorry guys I have just found that it can be activated at magazine ux.
Is the Note 5's inability to scroll wallpaper as you cycle through the home screens a bug or working as intended? If it's not a bug, is this function removed because of Samsung/TouchWiz or Android 5.1.1? (I'm coming from an LG G3 that had 5.0.X on it and it scrolled the wallpaper.)
To be clear, this was the feature that would move your background wallpaper slightly left or right as you scrolled in that direction through your various home screens- I believe it was called parallax effect?
I don't yet have the Note 5 - hopefully wont be too long. But this is a Touchwiz thing and is working as intended. It has always had a static background for as long as i can remember (at least back to the s3). There are some live wallpapers which allow scrolling other than that you can use a different launcher.
This feature was never there in touchwiz... We always used Root, xposed and wanam mod for it to work on TW ( wanam xposed does have tons of useful features for touchwiz)..
Or you could use another launcher like nova

You need to apply the wallpaper using the change wallpaper function in Nova! Works fine using Apex. Make sure multiple scrolling homescreen is on!
Feature not part of TouchWiz
Scrolling wallpapers have never been part of Touchwiz and probably won't be either, they would face so many performance issues with it if they did implement. The problem being they've added the new wallpaper effects that are similar to the motion features on iOS.

I guess you only had touchwiz phone last couple of years or less.
Live wallpaper is way more demanding than scrollable wallpaper and it's still around . In fact I'm running live wallpaper with scrolling effect on both lockscreen and desktop in nova without performance issues. Old galaxies and notes never had issue with that particular feature either. Sammy just likes to force differentiate themselves, even if its extremely dumb. Like having app selection option be set as default ,the first time you pick something.
The last sentence ...no contest....but not much of a compliment.
I'm sure though i saw scrollable option somewhere on touchwiz launcher just recently (checkmark in lower right corner in wallpaper selection). Probably when setting screen from desktop (long press). then again too lazy to confirm now, as i only see tw launcher twice a year. When i buy a phone and when i sell it. Provided i don't have to warranty the thing
