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

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!!
hey i just wanted to know if anyone knows of any interesting launchers out there. ive pretty much tried all the big ones (adw, go launcher, launcher 7, launcherpro, mx home, slide screen etc) btu now im bored with em. so if anyone knows of any launchers with an interesting ui (that doesnt suck) post em here id appreciate it.
I recommend you the SPB 3D launcher or the ICS Launcher by syndicateapps
Hi! I recently gave the Live wallpaper Bubbleator another try. It is really nice and because it collects lots of data from lots of sources (calendar events, sms's, facebook, rss etc) and shows them together. Unfortunately my old hero doesn't like LWPs much, so I wondered if there is any vertical scrollable widget which can show this kind of info? Slidescreen is kind of the same, but I don't want to sacrifice all of my homescreens to this. The Meego Harmattan also has one of the homescreens which works pretty much like this. Is there any widget out there which can do this?
Thanks in advance
Has anyone else experience this? So far it's happened on both my phone and my friends. All widget animations are choppy. For example scrolling on the stock email widget is choppy and transitions with the feedly widget is choppy as well. I didn't experiance this with my note 4 so anyone else having the same issue?

same here !!
I get this too with the default touchwiz launcher. With nova launcher it's perfectly smooth.
I switched out of TW a day ago. Moved to Nova and never looked back.
Has anyone else noticed that the Samsung music widget, when expanded to show the tracks on your phone, scrolls reaaaally slow?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve scrolling, or is this totally a Samsung issue that perhaps nothing but an update will fix?
My guess is it's a Samsung issue.. I'm running into the same thing with the Android Central widget and Redditastic, they both lag like hell when scrolling.
Other launchers show now lag what-so-ever (tried sense and nova), so that pretty much narrows it down to a touchwiz problem.
Oh, I see. I didn't really seem to notice any lag with my other widgets though but thanks for the input on Redditastic and Android Central.
Now I know it's not just my phone but a problem with TW.
Thanks for the reply.
