So those widgets apparently only work in TouchWiz, and while they're really useful, I'd very much prefer to use Apex launcher. What are some good replacements?
S planner aka calender widget works with apex.. But still if you want a replacement try android pro widgets

No, Calendar and S-planner are different widgets, and S-planner only shows up in TouchWiz.
Anyone that knows how to get s-planner month widget to work in apex launcher ?
Looked for ages and no go.
mate, the s-planner widget does not work on apex. i tried searching all over and could not find a solution. the best replacement is the Jorte calendar widget. although good, this widget requires quite a bit of config and re-config till you can get comfortable with the fonts, font sizes and the way calendar info is displayed. i use the Jorte now and quite happy with it.
Is there one that works with google like the S Planner did?
i have used apex on my SGS 2 for many months. after upgrading to SGS 3, im starting to like touchwhiz launcher! the widgets for calendar and yahoo finance are totally irresistable. so i decided to stick touchwhiz. its still a much improved UI than previously.

Anyone know how to get HTC widgets available & working with either the Helix Launcher or LaucherPro? I'm specifically looking to get the Calendar, Weather & Flip Clock with Weather widgets working
cheers

Interested in this as well.
Seems it's impossible to use HTC Widgets with any launcher app - shame

Well. There is a few widgets that looks like sence ones.
Wether Forecast has a flipklock that looks just like the sence one. Works perfect. (not in market anymore beacuse some argument with htc..)
Pure Grid Calendar works just fine and looks somewhat near the sence one. I use the android calendar widget/Astrid and prefer these two.
All the once you cant fint in market- register at ppcwarez.org and serch there forum. Almoast anything worth it you can find there

there's some alternatives to the HTC widgets in the market. I use Smooth Calendar it's a 4x1 widget. for the filp clock checkout Weather Forecast&Clock widget. If you have paid app you could also get Beautiful Widgets it's one dollar.
In my experience you want to use Sense as little as possible to keep you phone running as fast as possible.
I just love the default weather widget for Samsung Galaxy S3. Problem is that when I change to Nova Launcher, the weather widget is not available from the widget list! What can I do to get the default weather widget in Nova Launcher? Must I switch to Apex or another launcher? :S
The default weather widget is part of Samsung's TouchWiz so when you change launchers you lose it. Going to another launcher other than Touchwiz will still not give you access to that widget.
You might try some of the widget programs like Beautiful Widgets in the market. They might have similar weather widgets. I know on my Rezound I use Beautiful Widgets for my HTC Sense style weather/clock when I run Nova.
Is there any way???? i need the weather widget in my apex launcher...

Yep, you only get the 'Calendar' widget.
The touchwiz widget apks are system apps. If some brilliant mind could pull them from system/app and (somehow) convert them to installable user apps, we would be able to use them with any launcher.
I'm not sure if this is even feasible...any takers;-)

Partially true…
On my Galaxy Tab P5100 with stock 4.1.2 and Nova launcher, the Accuweather widget was working flawleslly. It is a case, that it is partly a part of the system, because when pressed, it opens a full screen application...
Now, on 4.2.2 Nova can't pick it up anymore

That is inaccurate.
On my Galaxy Tab S2 the built-in Weather app used to provide both of its widgets to Nova Launcher without any problems: both the wide "clock & weather" widget and the small "weather only" widget were available in Nova. I had that classic Samsung's widget it on my screen in Nova for several years now. However, in my case just recently (around the beginning of November, I think) the wide "clock & weather" widget suddenly became unavailable in Nova Launcher.
The small "weather only" widget is still available in Nova Launcher though. When I switch to TouchWiz, I see two widgets under the built-in Weather app. But in Nova I see only one - the small one. This is a recent change.
I have no idea why "clock & weather" disappeared in Nova, but "widget is part of Samsung's TouchWiz" and "touchwiz widget apks are system apps" theories obvioulsy don't hold any water. Anyone?
Hi,
I just have my S3 and I am a bit disapointed the lack of customizability of some of the stock programs.
S Planner looks good but I miss the sync of my tasks from gmail. Also very limited in gadgets.
Weather widget is terrible. how can I personalize it? 1 look, no more
only 1 lock screen?
I like the weather widget on the lockscreen, if I remove the weather widget can I stil use it?

remove ?? uninstall ??
then how r you suppose to use that ??
and if u means just clearing from the desktop then yes
No other weather app/widget that integrates in the lockscreen?
If I install another then 2 apps will get weather data (1 lockscreen default, 1 widget download)

because it's a Touchwiz widget, therefore, it works with Touchwiz launcher only!

Even with the stock launcher I prefer the Pure Grid Calendar widget. Very customizable, themable, but mostly I like when you touch a day, it shows the appointments as a list rather than the timetable. So everything is visible immediately rather than scrolling down to later in the day.
