Does anyone have an apk for the "Feeds and Updates" widget? Is there a way to add it to a non touchwiz rom? I appologize, I searched and simply could not find it.

1) I have the .apk pulled from a deodexed, stock JL5 ROM. I can post it if you want to use it, but see #2 first.
2) No, it only works on the TouchWiz Launcher, which makes me sad, as it's a great widget.
Thank you for your quick reply... can you suggest an alternitive?

Laucnerpro plus. It costs money but you get scrollable twitter/facebook/ or a combo of the both with the app, plus it's just a great launcher. There's some cool themes on this site for them too so you can change how they look. Highly suggest you check it out, as it's very popular.

the colorize widget looks nearly identical to the launcher pro one and is free.
it comes in a pack that also includes a calendar widget and messaging, twitter, and bookmarks and such.
all are separate so you only use what you want (I use facebook and calendar just like I did on launcher pro, but now I can use ADW launcher ex)
its in the market if your interested, just search for "colorize"
Love it... thanks. (Not near a real computer to use actual thanks button)

I love everything about this launcher, except for the app drawer just seems to plain.
let me try that thing man...looks pretty good, you got your thanks
Thanks for the download!
Any chance I'm not the only one to feel like mediafire sucks? It took me over 20 tries to get the dl to work, and who knows how damn many spam pop ups needed to be closed in the process! Just venting. But I have trouble with that site every time. Definitely not very encouraging to pay for it!

I bought it and got a refund after about 10 minutes. It ran very smoothly on my Note and it was pretty fun to use. But when I tried to add that cool weather widget it said that it was unavailable to download from the Market. If I'm going to shell out $17 for a launcher, everything better work. I will buy it again once everything is confirmed to be working. All in all it's pretty slick, especially on the Note!
Edit: Nevermind, I got them to work. It's pretty cool. You can always get a refund in the first 15 minutes if you don't like it.

Running ot right now. I really like it. My biggest beef is being unable to bind the home button to a page. So pretty much the home button doesn't do anything.......

It's missing a lot of functionality that the youtube video had . Seems like the theme also focuses so much on organizing and not enough on what you would do day to day. Why not have an edit mode?
If you search for TSF shell there are widget add-ons you need to download like the music and weather stuff. I'll pass until a few updates come out to bring all the functionality.

How to “Beat the Stock”
Written by: ilxaot
Hey! Welcome to my guide, and thanks for clicking on it. If this helps you in any way or form, please click the “Thanks” button.
I need your help! I need your recommendations so I can add them in after testing, this guide is incomplete and should have more options. Also, I need more sections. If there's another set of apps that you want me to review for our phone, just let me know. I'll gladly update this guide accordingly!
Table of Contents
Phone
Contacts
Messaging
Browser
Phone
Well, in the end, regardless of what some of us may think our L9’s are, they are phones. I know, surprising right? Our phone has a good looking stock dialer, but MAN IT’S SLOW. So I’ve created a list of replacements that operate perfectly on our device.
exDialer: This is my personal choice, and definitely the one I recommend the most. The UI is elegant, and it’s incorporated into an extremely efficient combination of Dialer/Contacts setup. The sheer ability to switch from Dialer to Contacts smoothly without lag is an enigma in itself. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a decent amount of themes available on the Play Store to further mix it to your liking. The ICS theme is my personal favorite.
Dialer One: This is a pretty good app for those who want a fast dialer for their phone, and don’t mind not having a Contacts app to match it. This doesn’t work for me, since I need Contacts integrated into my Dialer like exDialer does. But this app does the job for those that need a dialer app by itself.
Contacts
Contacts+: Same as the app above, it’s just a shortcut to take you straight to the Contacts portion of the app. Recommended to those who want a closely integrated feel of Messaging, Dialing, and Contact…ing.
Messaging
Textra: Download this app NOW. This is seriously, as of now, the best texting app for Android. Ever heard of ChompSMS? It supports native Emoji, Group SMS with iPhonies, doable customization, and an absolutely SICK notification feature. Seriously, download this app, next text you get, click the notification and watch the magic.
Browser
Opera Browser: Okay, so this has been updated consistently for about the last year or so, and I’m LOVING it. It has a ton of options, including cloud compression on a low connection so it speeds up YOUR browsing speeds. It has the usual problems, notably lag when loading multiple images and sometimes not registering your touches when you click links. It’s Chromium based, which means it is similar to Chrome. Obviously.
Chrome: Brought to my attention by @peoplegetpeople, it's a good browser and it is useful if using Chrome on your computer and wish to sync bookmarks/history!
Must-Have Apps
Ttorrent: This app is for torrenting and "sharing" (uh-huh...) files.

Lol, you're totally right about the browsers. I got mad when chrome want on the list! (I like my integration) but seriously, your guides are the ****! Keep it up man. Textra and exdialer are now daily drivers. Also, your locked mods thread made me love this phone. Good work, sir. Good work indeed!

Updated with some relevant "Must-Have Apps."
The aviate launcher looks pretty nice. Unfortunately I need an invite code.
Another keyboard to check out is Google's stock keyboard. You can get it from the play store. Uses a lot less memory than kii and quite a bit smoother.

I just checked. You can add pretty much any language for input and download dictionaries too. You switch languages by holding down the space bar.
There's no options for themes. Stock jelly bean.

And alright, I'll add it in if I can get another keyboard or two to add as an official keyboard section. Thanks!

Also, another app that I find useful is Censor**** on the play store. I use profanity with my friends and this loads most of the common words into the dictionary so auto correct doesn't try to correct it. It's a pay app and English only.

I'm quite attached to perfect keyboard, suits me well and very customizable. Dolphin browser is my favorite except the added that stupid touch button in the corner but it can be removed. How about music players? I've used playerpro with the dsp pack for the preamp for along time now.

Music sure. How about inverted apps? So far I only have YouTube and maps inverted.

Thought I'd throw these in here.
I use Now Playing for music - it's got a cards-esque UI, plays really well, beautiful widgets. And it works with ViPERFX, which is good.
Also, I've found I really like Sliding Messaging. It was buggy, sometimes it doesn't work well with MMS, but it's themeable and the new Slideover feature is great.
