I had asked this in a different part of the forums but then realized this is probably where it belongs. I'm looking for a clockwork/steampunk clock and weather widget. I have yet to find one I like. I downloaded UCCW and tried messing with it but I'm not very good at it. Is there anyone out there that has designed their own or know of any?
Also how would I get different icons without using a whole theme or downloading a new launcher? I'm running on the Liquid smooth JB ROM and I like the included launcher.

Hi, I just purchased the Note and I installed OnlyOne rom right away because I wanted ICS. I'm setting up my home screen and I don't see the Samsung clock/weather widget. I see it in the system/app folder but I don't see it under widgets. Is it not there or am I doing something wrong?
I would ask in the dev thread but I'm new here and I don't have enough posts.

Unless you changed launchers, the weather widget is in the drawer towards the end of the list. If you've changed launchers it won't be there.

i'm not sure if the gingerbread clock widget is supported in ICS. *please correct me if I'm wrong*
if it truly is not then i highly recommend Beautiful Widgets. i think it's under $3 and you will have more options for your clock widget than you'd know what to do with.
The Rom he flashed is a sgs3 Rom and it does include Samsung widgets.

Lol its not a sgs3 ROM its flapjaxx base room and it has s3 stuff included. Yes the stock clocks are all in there they look smaller in the widget menu compared to a stock ROM due to the s3 launcher is resized for or devices just look a little harder you will see it

I figured it out but it doesn't matter because there's a glitch. Once the screen orientation changes from the home screen the widget disappears. No point in using it.

Hey bro...if you haven't already found it...the widget you're looking for is the last widget in the widget drawer. I believe its called "weather".
Yea its gotta glitch both weather and original clock dissaper when it rotates.

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.

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.

I'm new to using themes and icon packs. I have an S2x running Nova Launcher Prime and WidgetLocker. However, I'm unsure as to how to tell which sliders and icons are compatible with the programs. (GOlauncher/Apex?) Also, when users post screens of their sliders, are the clock widgets they use on their screen downloadable or found on the Play Store?
Thanks
Bump

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.

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

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.
So I just flashed the ported X-Note rom and I love everything about it except I can't get my widgets to go across the whole screen since apparently it is a modded TW launcher set for 5x4. A post in the forum said to download SecLauncher4.apk and I did but it also had other instructions that I did not know how to follow. Thanks for any help !!!

Install the Nova Launcher, you can set the number of widgets in the desktop, app drawer, and dock. Its very easy to set up, with more features and the ability to bring widgets from TW launcher over to Nova launcher.
Thanks ilk give that a try. Any idea on why the YouTube App FC's in the ROM?

Not every widget is compatible to be re-sized no matter what you do.
