Disapointed in stock programs - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Click to collapse
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)

Seeking Weather Widget

In search of a pure Weather only Widget...I like the Weather portion of Beautiful Home Weather, but do not need the clock option - does anyone know how to disable to clock or an application with only the weather portion....
Weatherbug Elite has a nice widget that displays weather which is what I use.
The Weather Channel... they have three to four types of widgets available
Try snow storm from the market
Sent from my SGH-T959
i use "Weather Widget - Free" by Android Apps. it supports different skins / themes and it can display a single weather icon with temp. i bought beautiful widgets, but prefer this app.
I use Beautiful Widgets BUT DO NOT USE THE WIDGET.
You can go to the options and have the temp show in your notification bar. That way when you click on it you get the cool animations and forecast/current weather from BW, but you get all the space on your home page by not using the widget... kinda the best of both worlds.
I never understood needed a clock widget... utterly pointless in my not so humble opinion.

[Q] Accuweather and S-planner month view widget replacement

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.

Calendar events on lockscreen?

Is it possible to have upcoming events from the calendar on the lockscreen?
I'd like to keep teh TW lockscreen.
Maybe via modding? eg replacing the stocks ticker or the news ticker?
Does anyone know if this would be possible?

I know you want to keep the TW lockscreen...but alternatively, I use Widget Locker lockscreen with Android Agenda Widget. (back since my HD2 days)
TRUST ME...I have owned widget locker for several years and watched it progress. It runs absolutely FLAWLESS on my S3. It has TONS of options/switches to make your every scenario happen without glitches. And there are so many choices for sliders etc.
Anyway, Agenda Widget has many options as well....actually so many it can be quite confusing. I have it listing my next 6 calendar events with TODAYS current events bold and brighter. So when I turn my screen on....that's 1 single button push....I can see my days events...if I have them. To me, this si fast and efficient.
I keep a Handcent widget on it for reading my recent text message...again...1 click....and several sliders including one that opens my camera for quick scenario photo taking. Widgets are overlap-able and resizable etc. (I am not affiliated...just proud)
Widget locker has only one bug which is very annoying.
If you get a Msg, and you've set the Pop Up to come, try unlocking the screen.
The pop up would display for a very short time before WL.
This doesn't happen with TW lockscreen.

Help finding calendar widget

I have tried dozens I can't find a calendar widget. I want something big (100 panel at 320dpi) nice earth tones no transparency and events spelled out
Basically I want the stock touch wiz widget (about the only thing I like from touchwiz) alas that widget is not available outside touchwiz grr I run launcher prime.
Any suggestions? Basically I want this (attached) for a single month as a nearly full screen widget.
Simple calendar widget is close (second attachment) but it lists at bottom not "in" the calendar but that is how I want to use it. That is 4 4 stretched to I think 8 or something like that do needs to be scalable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe the touchwiz widget hacked ?

Any way to enable TouchWiz Exclusive Widgets in other Launchers?

Hi,
I really love the look of the TouchWiz Widgets-
I found several touchwiz exclusives...
- Weather
- Calendar
- Location
- Magnifier
And I really love my Action Launcher 3. But I cannot have those widgets on Action Launcher...
Of course, I can install the 3rd party apps. But Weather widget will not be coherent with the weather in my lock screen and edge screen.
I am not going to get the Magnifier widget.
I googled a lot but I couldn't find the solution. Anyone knows how I can bring the widgets to the 3rd part launchers?

Unfortunately this is generally not possible, as the widget hooks into the launcher itself and probably does not present itself as available to other launchers the way a normal widget does. I wish it were possible but I'm afraid it's not.

I see. I decided to use Action launcher with 3rd party apps...
By the way, I am from GS3 and I really love the TouchWiz Calendar. It has weather icons inside.
