Does anyone happen to have the stock calendar widget? For some reason I lost it along the way of changing roms and using apex launcher.

Do you see the stock application installed in your app drawer? If so, the problem may be that you are not seeing the widget because you are not in the stock touchwiz launcher as that is the only launcher where you can use the stock widgets in. Hope that helps.
Ah, you're probably right... Is there a way to make them work with apex?

I have never seen or heard of anyone doing that with any launcher specific widgets (i.e. go launcher, launcher pro) so I highly doubt it but will continue to look around and post again if i find anything.
The stock aosp calendar is in the Play store and the widget works great. I have it on my Note with Touchwiz

Anyone recommend a good launcher with Sense caliber widgets? I am using Go right now and they have pretty impressive options, but I am not sure it's as good as others. I was using Launcher PRO PLUS and that has some pretty good widget support. My favorite launcher is ADW, but I cannot live without widgets.
In particular, the bookmarks and stock market widgets are the hardest to find.

well as far as launcher I do believe your stuck with GO or Launcherpro that has widgets however if you like ADW I would check out widgets called "android pro widgets" that I think would compliment ADW nicely...
market link... https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rdr.widgets.core&hl=en
edit: as far as a stock market widget i'm not sure, good luck on that one lol
Just unzip your Fav. Rom and add the apk file to the system apps then rezip it and flash like normal. This is what I do to add the radio to fresh roms

That will put an HTC widget that Flipz removed back in to Sense, but those widgets won't work with 3rd party launchers such as ADW.
Thanks though

Colorize widgets is a good app.

There seems to be enough screen space to fit 5x5 icons on the homescreens instead of 4x4.
What's the easiest way to do this on a stock SGS3?
I don't think there are any mods yet to change the stock TW launcher. You might want to check out Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher if you haven't already.

In fact, TW is already modded...

Or just install another launcher such as Go Launcher.

Thanks all!

I tried out Nova (free) for a few days, have uninstalled due to:
- icons sometimes take a while to reappear.
- Calendar / S Planner widget sometimes takes a long time to populate.
The TW mods appear to need root... so I'm back to stock TW, and realizing that I don't need more than 4x4 that badly.
I find this widget selection screen clumsy and ugly in Touchwiz, it's much better in GolacherEX and other launchers.
Anyone know how to make it display widgets list alike, like it was before?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
long press home screen, select widgets from menu....job done
Thats exactly how widgets look when i do that, this was like this on SGS3Touchwiz, Galaxy S2 had this list alike widget list, also had mod that same widgets were grouped together.

ah, my bad, I'm using nova launcher which gives the old style list, must be touchwiz way then....change launcher
Nah...first time now i like how stock launcher looks, nova is ugly.

If you need stock TW launcher then I think you need to get used to it. This is how stock ICS launcher handles widgets and apparantly sammy didn't bother changing it.. But I kinda like it.
Lots of things sammy dont think, they should have listen the users more. Nova is ok, Golauncher seems better, but i stick with stock till someone makes new hacked version of this touchwiz.
I really like how stock launcher change pages, havent seen so cool looking on any launchers even they have more options to change it.

I do like TW launcher but what bugs me a lot is the way TW launcher create folder. Samsung choose to use ICS style on the widgets but decided not to use ICS style on adding folder. Doesn't make any sense. :banghead:

Maybe use apex launcher and then choose touchwiz theme as design? Dunno if that fits all your needs though
I use sslauncher and hitting the menu key gives the traditional.Samsung options, like settings / wallpaper and long press the screen gives options for Widgets etc.

Homescreen transition animation will never be the same
And of course the clock widget will be gone. So not fit to my need.

Just curious if people prefer stock or a replacement launcher?

Nova.
I used ROM Cleaner to remove the sense launcher.
Ha I was also wondering this. Was just about to ask and saw this thread. I was wanting to make a sleek simple homescreen and someone said I couldn't change icons with stock launcher.
How easy is it to switch back and forth between launchers?
As easy as installing from the play store and running it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
But would it keep all the settings. Like could you set up two different launchers and have them set the way you want. Then just feel like going to a different look one day just because you feel like it lol.
Yes. A launcher is just an app like any other app. Settings get saved.
Nova, have used it since I got my Galaxy S2. Love it easy backup/restore change icons individually, and more!
Just installed Nova Launcher and gotta say its pretty cool. Here's what I created. Just two questions. Can nova launcher make the status bar clear? And I used simple text to change icons on the dock but it has black background behind the words. Can I make that clear somehow.
I use apex launcher and as nova
It's amazing, I had no trouble changing plenty of phones while keeping my layout

ive been a nova user for quite sometime , however ive been using stock on the one.

I'm using Next Launcher with custom apps and live cube wallpaper very cool!

Action Launcher - allows minimalist approach, very fast to select apps. And Blink Feed app from appstore switches back into sense launcher so I can go back and forth.
Apex
This may be the perfect place to post this:
Does anyone know of a launcher (or can creat one) that is JUST the Sense 5 app drawer?
i.e: unlock your phone, and hit the app drawer button: THAT is ALL I want to see.

I've always liked the stock launchers over Nova, Apex, etc. Although I did enjoy them on CM roms on the One X when I had it. Usually I'm not a fan of stock Android. I've always much preferred the manufacturer skins.
I love sense 5 too much to switch

Man, $15 seems kinda steep for that.
This is going to seem like a weird one, but I can't find the stock widget that's used for clock and weather when I use Nova launcher. Anyone have the file or know where to find it? Thanks.

I have two clock widgets when I look at adding a widget to nova, I don't know if one of mine was added by an app or if they are both default nova. If you can tell me where to pull a file from I'd be happy to help. Otherwise I'm not totally sure what you can do. I am still fairly new to this launcher.
Good luck, let me know what I can do to help.
I had the same problem... Ended up just getting Timely and using their widget
Sent from my LG-V500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This is an ever-returning problem for all 3rd party Launchers. TouchWiz, Sense and whatever LG is calling their UI all have widgets that are only compatible with their respective launchers. Install all you want, they still wont show up outside of the stock LG Launcher. You can usually find some that look much the same and some times a genious comes along and ports the widgets. You could try heading over to the G2 forums, I suspect there's more life over there, maybe their "Themes and Apps" forum has a ported edition. Who knows.

I did the same thing - use the Timely widget. With Nova I could overlap it with the Yahoo weather widget so that they look like one thing.
My other virtually-the-same-thing clock widget choice is Chronus
