Hi ppl.
Is it possible to use the AccuWheather widget (screenshot atached) on Apex Launcher?
At apex it does not show that widget and the ones that i have found on Google Play are not the same.
Is that an TW exclusive widget?
Thanks in advance.
I think you just download the AccuWeather app from the play store and fire away, if not then it maybe framework based which in that case is a no buddy. If your talking about installing apex launcher on stock firmware then yeah course it will work, but if your talking about installing say CM10 then asking about the widget then that maybe a problem as I said, it maybe framework based.
anyone interested in blu-ray steelbooks, holla at your boy
it requires tw framework so u won,t get on apex, i badly want it too but end up giving up, i think with go launcher you can have it

It just dawned on me now that I am using Launcher Pro that when I long press, I no longer get the option to add a Samsung Widget to my home screen.
Any way around this?
... other than just going back to stock launcher ?
Nope. The Samsung widgets are part of TouchWiz.

So are many other elements of the device (notification panel, different contacts app, etc etc etc). Using another launcher app does not disable Touchwiz as a whole, its just a new launcher. The widgets are still <i>there</i> I'm just not able to get to them right now, so I'm hoping maybe someone is able to yank the APK or something so we're able to use them in non-default launchers.
They were written to be recognized and used by the Touchwiz launcher, they're not compatible with the ASOP launcher which is why they won't show up with other launchers. HTC Sense widgets have the same issue, and aside from completely rebuilding them, they haven't really found a way around it.

um, no they're not. As I am using the LauncherPro Beta right now. The notification panel is stock, the contact is stock everything is stock except the dock bar at the bottom, which is different and better and the drawer which Is 3D!!! I love it.

That is exactly what I was saying.
Using a different launcher (i.e. LaunderPro) does not "disable TouchWiz" and therefore you should still be able to use the TouchWiz widgets. Everything else is still there and TouchWiz is most definitely still there, running, etc... changing the Launcher is not disabling TouchWiz.

it does disable touchwiz. touchwiz is the launcher app. so when your not in touchwiz, you don't have it.
just like unless your on the sense home, you don't get the sense widgets.
the touchwiz widgets require the touchwiz launcher.
don't bother asking or repeating again because there is simply no way to make it work short of rebuilding the entire app as has been said.
Touchwiz and the touchwiz launcher are two different things.
You cannot "disable touchwiz" without flashing a custom rom. It IS the modified OS.
You are right that the widgets are built into the twlauncher apk, so you can't use them in any other launcher.
Let's be sure we aren't confusing touchwiz with twlauncher...
touchwiz is a skin on top of the android os just like sense is.......you disable the touchwiz launcher then everything associated with touchwiz is disabled only giving access to basic android widgets.
Oh lawrdy, the fighting...
When I was using launcher pro I couldn't use samsung widgets, but the apps were unaffected.. So just disabling touchwiz launcher disables the widgets (or makes them harder to use at least) but the apps with the phone (including the notification bar) keep going...
So even if you just disable the launcher, you lose the widgets (unless they are just hiding because the samsung widget button was gone and they weren't in my regular widget are either)
im no dev here and my coding knowledge is minimal so sorry if i sound stupid saying this, but if the twlauncher is integrated to the framework, couldnt someone use a modify a launcher replacement by kanging some code from the twlauncher so the launcher replacement utilizes the framework or is it much more complicated than that?

If I'm understanding you correctly then yes it is that simple, but figuring out how to do that is not simple without the code...

Okay ladies Ill explain all lol, disabling the touchwiz launcher does in no way effect the widgets but you cannot use them in other launchers because they are not programmed to recognize them touchwiz itself is the custom framework that samsung has created for this phone, so if a dev enabled it you could use them in any launcher as long as the system/framework/twframework.jar and twframework-res.apk are there along with some key files in the sytem/lib folder to associate them to the system so really the launcher is nothing but a pretty blind over the window if you will and in no way stops you from using the widgets other than the other launchers are not programmed to look for them.
I was just wondering if anyone was working on a google search widget for touchwiz. I know I can use it on launcherpro or adw but I like touchwiz and I don't think I'm alone.

If TouchWiz was as themeable as LP I would be using it as well.
Can't you just load the googlesearch.apk on touchwhiz. Cause that's what I was running on lp and adw. But all it is is an apk I don't see why it wouldnt work. You would have to reroute all the bing. I can't remember where I found the fully working transfer for google.but its there.
It doesn't work. I already have it installed and it doesn't appear under widgets. Trying to install it again fails.
Hey guys, I've been looking around trying to find the 4x4 Miui Music widget. I know that it is made to run with the Miui Launcher, however, I prefer LauncherPro. Is there a port or a modded apk that will allow this?
-Thanks in advance guys!
I'm in the same shoes. Please let us know, if there is a way to use 4x4 Miui Music widget with LauncherPro. (Or if there is any other similarly good-looking widget you would recommend.)
Thanks,
dRm

Have you tried Music Mod?
You can find a download link here & also a nice tucked-corners skin.
PS: Sourcherry has 4x4 in another post on that blog if I remember correctly ...
Hi, I have Wolfbreak's GB installed on my x10. Is it possible to make the timescape and music player widgets available to other launchers as well? I can only see these widgets on SE's ARC launcher, but not on other launchers. Really love these new widgets from SE. Thanks in advance
Any developers out there care to comment? I did a little search around this forum and found that people have asked this question before, but have yet to receive an answer. I'm not looking for a solution now, just wondering if its possible. Thanks.
Hi,
Im in the same boat as you. I want to use these widget on other launchers but can only see in Sony Launcher.
Anyone know how to add the widget on other launchers?
Thanks
I know that it's a missing when some widgets can't be use on another launcher but I think this problem caused by widgets' settings. Some widgets are set up just to run with Stock launcher only.
it doesnt work like that ..i think we need to modify the framework accordingly for installing the widgets on other launchers ...
Hope its right
thnk me if it helped
Well, is there any other widgets/apps that will provide similar functionality?
Also I think many ppl would appreasiate it if someone would modify the timescape widget to work with other launchers, I do think SE is onto something there, one glance and I'm up to date...
;-)
Thanks
SE lock their widgets so they cannot be installed on any other launcher, it really annoys me becuase the stock launcher is useless (Not being able to even add more homescreens is a joke)
I would like to know if anone is actively working on this problem as quite a few people are asking about it.
Now that timescape is becoming more user friendly...with more extensions for more content....I would really like to have the widget but I refuse to use the poor excuse of the stock launcher.
This would be a good project to work on....lets see if anyone is listening

I dedicated some time previously to working on it to no avail. I BELIEVE its coded in the smali code, but if its forced to run on other launchers it doesn't work properly:
Timescape can't scroll [well can scroll but you can't see] and MIGHT take you to the wrong message/facebookthing/w.e. and only refreshes when you reboot...
Music player the little icon thing [thumbnail] does not change and the thing bar does not actively move [the time bar] and the buttons are glitchy
you name it, errors come. I gave up :L

Thanks for letting us know...maybe you can post exactly what you did and where you got upto so that someone else can pick up where you left off....

Same issue bro. I use ADW Launcher EX... I want those features...
Would be great to have the freedom of using timescape on other launchers. the only reason i still have the stock launcher is because timescape and the music widget only work on it I guess it was a trap that was well thought of
I think pheel is the only one to have made some advancement on this project (that too, on my request ) but it faded out 2-3 months back. Hope with the senior devs (yes, greg, bring 'em on!) we can see some progress!!
Hi guys, because in the S6 edge I can't order my apps alphabetically I gave Apex launcher a try...I quite like it, its better than touchwiz in a lot of ways. But...I cant find a way to have the S Planner widget running? It's one of the few Samsung widgets that I use all the time.
I know there are third party alternative's as I've tested a few, but I'd rather use the S Planner widget as I prefer it.
Is it possible to have this widget running on Apex launcher for our phones?
Thanks, Pete.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll have to go back to touchwiz and wait for a firmware update.
