They disappeared after you used ADW launcher. The Samsung Widgets can only be used with TouchWiz.

OHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh well dont i feel like the tard. thanks for clearing that up for me.
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...

Doesn't look like it, I want the s planner widget but that too isn't available without touchwiz.

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?
Hye there.
I have a question, is there an alternative to the stock Music app widget that i can use with a non-stock launcher like Zeam (doesn't matter which launcher tbh) because the stock Music widget only works with the stock launcher and If you guys happen to know any widget that I can install, do tell. Thank you :fingers-crossed:
Running Stock unrooted ICS on SK71i btw
Ok so the s planner widget is great, but it doesnt work on Nova launcher, what apps could make a good replacement for it for non tw launchers?

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.
I just installed Nova Launcher on my stock G Pad and imported all of the apps from the stock launcher. The stock weather widget doesn't seem to work with Nova. Does anybody know a workaround to get it to work?

Afaik not possible. Like on samsung roms, only for stock launcher. Stock calender widget should also crash on nova launcher.

You are correct, Sir. Stock widgets, HTC, LG and Samsung will only work in their respective UI Launchers.
OK, thanks for the heads up on that. There are plenty of other weather widgets, I just like the look of the LG stock one.
