Is there a way to use touch wiz widgets in alternate launchers?

was wondering the same thing.
the email one works fine, and it's WAY better than the GB one. I am talking about the one that actually lets you read emails, and scroll through them, not the one that only shows the new emails count.

Love the different calendar widgets!
No, because OEM widgets aren't really Android widgets. They're little apps that rely on Touchwiz/Sense/Motoblur framework. I'm sure a very talented dev could rip them out and turn them into compatible apps, but it's not going to work out of the box like you want it to.

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 hated Motoblur but loved the social networking app and widget... Is it possible to port it to CM7 or develop something similar...
Or maybe there's something out there that's equivalent that I've missed.
Ideas?

One of the main reasons for CM7 is to get rid of all of the crap companies put on it and provide a pure android experience.
I also like the social networking app from Blur and I'd like to see it ported to CM7. Unfortunately I haven't found anything similar on the market.
Will never happen...requires motoblur which cm7 work so hard at removing.

If you like the Blur apps, you gotta use a Blur ROM.
It's not all bad, some of that bloat is actually quite functional.
That's too bad... I refuse to leave cm7! I just want a social widget that will stream all of my networks... That particular one happens to have a nice ui.
I'll get over it... Lol

I was thinking of trying to make something that does this but im a noob when it comes to coding...
LauncherPro paid version has a social widget that pulls update from multiple sources.
There are actually many widgets like that - like pure widgets, etc. Google will point you in the right direction.
Colordized Widgets... Nuff said... and executive assistant ... everything you need...

Loving the update so far. My top features:
-NOVA launcher just as sweet on the tablet as my Gnex
-Chrome
-App folders

Definitely accessing SD Card, swipe to clear in notif window and the small apps. I will enjoy the calculator lol
I do like the folders, but I have so many apps on my tablet that I wish there was a better way to organize them, like folder organizer. I like that app because it allows me to list all the apps and move to folders and when I download a new app, it prompts me to organize.
Checkout Nova you can seperate your apps by tabs and groups in the app drawer might be what you are looking for organization.

For me to be great so far seems to be the screen seems to be more responsive as a better look also that wifi seems to connect faster when the screen goes off I love everything about ice cream sandwich have no complaints at all chrome is a big plus for me. now can somebody go root this thing already lol

The built in spell checker and the ability to close apps from long pressing the home button, and then swiping them away.

Does it work similar to folder organization in Go launcher? I was able to create folders in the app drawer and copy them to the homescreens. Best part, if I made changes to the folders in the app drawer, they carried into the homescreen folders.
I also really don't want to take away from the stock experience. I have pimped the hell out of my Nexus S lol
best feature
i think the read from sd card is by far the best feature... its so more convenient to expand memory now... no need to keep on deleting old videos etc anymore
There's a few apps such as the S Note, S Calendar, My Diary and a few others that i've become accustom to. Is there anyway to get these back?

If you're talking about the gapps(google apps) Like play store etc. as well, there's a gapps zip for download. Otherwise S note, S Calendar are part of Touchwiz since CM9 doesn't have touch wiz it isn't incorporated into it/ you can't get it. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Those are touchwiz apps so they can only be used on UCLF6 and stock roms

Hey thanks, ya i installed the gapps. These are Samsung apps. I swear i saw somewhere that you can install the permissions for touchwiz and then are able to install the Samsung Apps store and get most of these programs.
I have searched the net and apparently it's simply impossible to get this combination to work. The closest I could find is this paid app has there been any progress at all on this?
I don't think this is possible. Most apps that have widgets broadcast to the android system via intents to tell the system "hey I have a widget!" I think the reason you cannot use those widgets in other launchers is because HTC chose to only broadcast their intents to Rosie (HTC stock launcher.) Something to that effect.
I'm no smali guy, but I don't think this would be something that could be changed via smali. I'm not really sure. Feel free to correct me =)
