I was just wondering if these applications are ever updated? They don't show up in the Android Market or Samsung Apps and can't be found through searches. There are versions of both applications in the Android Market but the widgets for those don't match.
Also has anyone found alternatives that fit as well, in a similar style or are as well presented?

Beautiful Widgets and HD Widgets should cover the part for your Samsung Weather widget.
There are plenty of widgets around to cover the other part, can't advise you directly on that.

Hi,
when I had stock samsung firmware I had a widget that easily let me free RAM and see what applications were running. Does anyone know if you can get the APK file for this widget and install it on CyanogenMod?
PS: I am talking about the widget in the picture that says Active Applications.
Thanks
anyone????????
I'm looking for this too, I thought it's part of the TouchWiz launcher, was surprised to see it's not there with the custom ROMs

Try "active apps" in the market.
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knows of any way to add the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 digital clock widget for use on this tablet? Thank you
if you get your hands on the apk, it should work fine.
look in their forums for a rom or system dump and rip it out of there, if i had one handy i'd put it up for you
That's not true...cross-device/manufacturer system apps almost never work because they are tied in with the rom framework or whatever. I've never gotten the weather and clock widgets from the Tab to work on anything else..
Try HD widgets

interesting, i just assumed it would because i think I've seen the galaxy s2 variant of the clock floating around.
personally i like beautiful widgets more than the Samsung clock or hd widgets...
I was looking at a list of launchers on Wikipedia, and I came across Android Launcher Plus. It looks like a version of the stock Android 2.0 launcher, which IIRC was only seen on the OG Droid. Kind of want to try this launcher just because it was the last version of Android to have the slide-up app drawer. The downloads on their Google Code site is blank. Does anyone happen to have this launcher? Thanks.
Recently pulled my old i777 out of the drawer. After upgrading to 4.1.2 i found that the Active applications and assistive light widgets are both absent.
I had both these widgets on previous versions of android on this phone. I have another phone(i437p) running stock 4.1.2 which has both of these widgets.
I scoured the internet and found some people with this problem. Found some suggestions to download the galaxy apps application and i would be able to downloaded them from there but neither of these widgets are available for download on galaxy apps.
My question is if anyone knows how or where to download and install these stock widgets?
I understand i can access the active apps by holding down the home button then clicking the pie chart on the bottom left. I can also download any of the hundreds of flashlight apps on playstore. However i find it much more convenient to use the widgets right on my home screen. I also dont like downloading 3rd party apps which will be full of ads and eat my data and ram.

Samsung removed the widget after ICS, but you'd have no trouble using one from the Play Store. Just find one without ads (if that's your concern), it won't run in the background and will work just the same as Assistive Light. Or you could install an AOSP rom, as they nearly all have a flashlight toggle/app built in.
the flashlight is not that big of deal i guess. The active applications widget is extremely useful.
I sucked it up and downloaded a widget from the market but they all have their own task killers equipped with ads and all. had to uninstall.
I also found the "shortcuts" option missing from the home screen. It might have allowed me to put a shortcut to active apps on my homesceen. This version of android on the s2 seems to be very limited. I know these widgets haven't been discontinued because newer phones running the same stock firmware have the widgets and shorcuts. I would be satisfied with a simple shorcut to active apps on the homescreen.
So since themer seems to be dead (no updates and the app doesnt load themes etc.) what would be the best alternative launcher? And i'm not talking about nova launcher or something like that because nova launcher doesnt change the homescreen the way themer does. The one alternative i found is Buzz Launcher but are there any others?
I had the same question and have not been able to find an alternative.
The problem is that we can no longer load the themes.
Is there a way to download them ourselves and manually install in Themer?

It used to be possible. But you had to download them off the site. But the site itself is quite broken, and google says it may have been hacked.
You could use some other sites to get the direct download link. E.g. I got this Mosaic theme from Lifehacker. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/94231qd5cs8hmiv/AACtRG8aIoO0AC85PfzTBpqda?dl=0

Buzz launcher was similar to themer. Have not tried it in a very long time though. Have no clue how it has changed since.
Just saw it , themer is no longer being updated, mycolorscreen is offline. I can recreate all the themes in total/lightning launcher but I need screenshots. Anyone has screenshots?

You could really do this?
The theme I am still using and love is `Tree2`. A screenshot from google image search is at:
http://mycolorscreen.com/wp-content/uploads/homescreens_2012/312318/App Tree2New_original.jpg
(No idea how as the rest of the site is down)
You click the icons in the tree to open them, but some give the option of opening multiple things, like the people icon. The charging bar was kinda cool too.
Look forward to seeing how you go 8)
Cheers

I use klwp from play store is amazing i left buzz and themer long time ago didn't seem very useful to me anymore
KLWP when used alongside NOVA Launcher Prime is an excellent choice both for designers & enthusiasts. You can customize and build your own home screen with animations and actions triggered by click, slide, or any other action possible on an android.
I would definitely suggest KLWP as the best and only alternative.
Have no clue how it has changed since.
Does anyone know how's the battery consume in KLWP? I'm thinking it may consume more battery because of being 'LIVE' Wallpaper.

The live wallpaper is active only when you're watching it. If you're using other apps, it should be fine.
