OK so almost everyone seems to hate TouchWiz. So what Home Launcher are you using? And why?
I am using Nova launcher Prime. I like to fully customize my home screen.
It has lots of options and themes and it's pretty fast. So how about you?

Me too , Nova launcher prime ?
Solo Launcher. Its free and easy to customize. I wish there were more unread count options though and the unread count icon kind of sucks but all in all, I like it.
Stock launcher (with minor mods). It works great and hard to see much reason to install a third party launcher. .
The mods I made were aesthetic e.g. dumping the Accuweather widget, replaced some icons, like the ugly app drawer one, removed the home row icon labels and five icons, instead of four per row.

Nova launcher prime here...what's that theme
Is there a difference between nova and solo? I'm cheap and don't want to fork out 4 dollars if there's nothing spectacularly different? ?

Nova. I wanted something simple with 4x5 grid capabilities. No widgets, black wallpaper, black lock screen.

Is there a way to resize the widgets? When I add the stock weather widget it only ads the small widget instead of the larger one that is there when the phone is powered up for the first time. I'm sure i read tbe widgets can be resized? Any tips? Thanks

Yep! If your hold down on the widget until the 'Remove' box appears and then let go you'll be able to resize a number of the Widgets that come with the S2

Only certain widgets can be resized, press and hold on a widget for a few seconds and when you let go, it wil be outlined then you can drag the bottom corner to where you want resizing the wiget.

Ahh yeah! cool... thanks for the tip
Thank you! I've been going insane trying to figure out how to resize the widgets after I accidentally triggered the resize box once.
I get loads of Emails offering to resize my widget .

I find that now under other launcher, such as apex and nova:
the resizeable samsung widgets do not work.
I mean, yes, apex and nova can resize widget but the result is just plain wrong.
for example: samsung yahoo finance widget.
under touchwiz, it originally at 4x1, but you can resize it to 2x2, 2x4, etc.
but under apex or nova, when i resize it, the size does not change, even if I resize the widget to full screen, it still remains at 4x1, it doesnt expand/shrink vertically and horizontally, the widget just centers itself to the whole screen.
Somebody knows how to fix this?
Or some ICS launchers, other than touchwiz, that can work with these widgets?
For some unknown reason, almost all ics custom roms do not like touchwiz.

Only one way.. Use a custom launcher.. If you are running CM then the launcher has an option to disable the widget.
Disable it
Disable the widget
CyanogenMod Launcher that is the Trebuchet has the option to disable persistent Search Bar. But I don't think it could be done in AOSP based ICS phones which uses stock launcher. Custom Launchers like Apex, Nova etc. have the feature you're looking for.
A custom launcher is the only way, sorry. Apex, Nova, Trebuchet etc. can all do this.

Any of these launchers 100% working as the standard one except not having the search bar?
The original Honor weather/clock widget doesn't work with another launcher like Nova Launcher or Google Now Launcher.
Is there a way to fix this?

Nope. This widgets are only for EMUI launcher.
So it's absolutely impossible to get this on Nova Launcher? Because the blue weather widget from the 'Home screen style - Simple' works fine (but I don't like this design).
I have updated to B330 and the widget is a bit changed. Now I got the line in the middle + date.
Is there a way to customize something to give permission for the location and temperature?
Ok, finally I found an acceptable solution
It's a look-a-like widget and not 100% the same, but close enough to the original. You'll need XWidget from the Play Store and then select 'Huawei CW Widget' in the app.
On my homescreen I have linked it to the official Honor Clock app when I tap the widget.
I made a small video to show how it works. You can create hotspots and link it to an app or something. I made a hotspot for the time to open the Clock app and for the weather I use the XWidget AccuWeather settings.

I hope this helps. I'm also trying Nova and can't use Huawei weather app, so after installing many apps from Google Play (annoying ads, or with extra useless info, or pricey), I decided to try other brands' stock weather apps from APK Mirror: Samsung failed, Xiaomi failed, Oppo failed, but Azus stock weather app worked like a charm. Precise and concise weather info, without ads, with a nice widget (Nova compatible, of course), etc.. Give it a try.
Perhaps, the only drawback is that there are only two 4x2 widgets... But something is something.

Hello! I have a problem with launchers non stock for my X829. I have EUI, not rooted device, and every launcher that I install I put it as the default launcher. When I lock my device and wait a few minutes, when I unlock it appears the multi task screen and I must to press two times home to go to the launcher. Did someone experience the same? How can I fix it? I tested Nova, Evie, Blackberry Launcher and now I'm with Fairphone 2 launcher

That problem has happened to me with several launchers. But with Nova Launcher all right, its only problem is that it does not let you put personal icons of the theme store, I am currently using Evie and it is the best one I have tried so far since you can configure it and adapt the custom icons.

thanks I'll try again!
Sometimes the homescreen fails to load. It just shows the wallpaper and status bar. Normally there are widgets and apps. Any idea why? I'm using Nova Launcher but on other phones it worked fine.

it's a weird bug with the pixel 6/Android 12 and third party launchers, I experience the same thing with Niagara launcher and have yet to find any solution to it
YES!! I thought I was the only one experiencing this. Also using Nova and 12L on Pixel 6.
Make sure that you are using Nova launcher version 7.0.57

Looking at your home screen and the notifications. It looks like you have a lot running tasks in the background.
Find out which app or mod is interfering with Nova.
I am using Nova with root and the basics, without issues.
I have the same issue in a ZTE Axon 40
Everytime I swipe up to go home, if I make a quick press after the swipe, the home screen goes blank nd I have to swipe up again to recover the icons and widgets
