Anyone else not too fond of the new folders in the touchwiz lollipop?
I couldnt stand it either and decided to install the Google Now Launcher. It's much better now.

Nova Launcher is the best. Everything is fully customizeable, especially the folders.

Does anyone have an apk for the "Feeds and Updates" widget? Is there a way to add it to a non touchwiz rom? I appologize, I searched and simply could not find it.

1) I have the .apk pulled from a deodexed, stock JL5 ROM. I can post it if you want to use it, but see #2 first.
2) No, it only works on the TouchWiz Launcher, which makes me sad, as it's a great widget.
Thank you for your quick reply... can you suggest an alternitive?

Laucnerpro plus. It costs money but you get scrollable twitter/facebook/ or a combo of the both with the app, plus it's just a great launcher. There's some cool themes on this site for them too so you can change how they look. Highly suggest you check it out, as it's very popular.

the colorize widget looks nearly identical to the launcher pro one and is free.
it comes in a pack that also includes a calendar widget and messaging, twitter, and bookmarks and such.
all are separate so you only use what you want (I use facebook and calendar just like I did on launcher pro, but now I can use ADW launcher ex)
its in the market if your interested, just search for "colorize"
Love it... thanks. (Not near a real computer to use actual thanks button)

Loving the update so far. My top features:
-NOVA launcher just as sweet on the tablet as my Gnex
-Chrome
-App folders

Definitely accessing SD Card, swipe to clear in notif window and the small apps. I will enjoy the calculator lol
I do like the folders, but I have so many apps on my tablet that I wish there was a better way to organize them, like folder organizer. I like that app because it allows me to list all the apps and move to folders and when I download a new app, it prompts me to organize.
Checkout Nova you can seperate your apps by tabs and groups in the app drawer might be what you are looking for organization.

The built in spell checker and the ability to close apps from long pressing the home button, and then swiping them away.

Does it work similar to folder organization in Go launcher? I was able to create folders in the app drawer and copy them to the homescreens. Best part, if I made changes to the folders in the app drawer, they carried into the homescreen folders.
I also really don't want to take away from the stock experience. I have pimped the hell out of my Nexus S lol
best feature
i think the read from sd card is by far the best feature... its so more convenient to expand memory now... no need to keep on deleting old videos etc anymore
I am wanting to give stock android a go, but I want to keep S Note. Is it possible to download from a third party onto my device?

S Note is a TW only app, it requires TW framework to make it work which is not present on AOSP ROMs. The only way it would ever work is if a dev was able to distinguish which portions of the TW framework was required to make it run and port it to a ROM or turn it into a flashable mod/patch.
Most of the people on AOSP who want apps like the TW apps go with a few that are listed in several of the AOSP ROM threads. If you want something similar to S Note you could try Papyrus. If you wanted certain apps to open when you take out the S Pen you would need GMD Spen Control which is $5 from the Play Store. If you do give AOSP a shot and miss some of the TW S Pen features you should try GMD Spen Control out, its a superb app and was created with the S Pen SDK from Samsung.

Hey guys.
I was hoping someone could help me a bit.
I have gotten a new Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (android 4.4.3), but i HATE the system clock widget/app with the analog hands,and minimalist design,so i installed an apk extractor on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (android 4.0.4) to try and get the system clock app from there as i absolutly love it with its big digital numbers,and exact manual input of desired countdown timer,and apk extracted fine,but when i try and install it on my xperia i get an "app not installed" error after installation actually has happened.
Is this not possible what i am trying to do? Is the clock proprietary to each company the phone is from?
Any insight is greatly appreciated as i have very little knowledge about these phones and android
This is the clock i am hoping to get on my Xperia:
Looks like you are after proprietary .apks, maybe try the clock from aosp or just downloading one from the app store

Well, i havent found one on app store that has 4 different apps in 1 it like this one does,otherwise i wouldnt ask if this would work. So the alarm/clock is NOT a native ice cream sandwich,but a proprietary one? Could you maybe point me in the direction of the clock you are referring to?
Starting around ICS or maybe jb the aosp app became the 4 in 1 as you call it, but manufactures like Samsung Sony etc sometimes transform the app to their liking making it proprietary and need specific framework to run on a device.
You should be able to just open up an aosp ROM and take out the .apk then push it and install to your device

i am on a samsung note 2 LTE with 4.3 , i just purchased the gear Fit. and i have been reading about to get the weather working properly you need to be running the Samsung Weather Widget . personally i am on a custom rom. ( TW based) but i use NEXT Launcher. my question is A) Will any weather app installed work with the gear fit since i am on a samsung device?
B) or do i need to go back to STOCK LAUNCHER and use only the ACCUWEATHER Widget app .
C) Does anyone have the Stock Samsung Widget .apk that i can install on my phone to try in my 3rd party launcher? or will it not work?
thanks
You need Daemonweather.apk and AčuWeather2013.apk in your system/apk folder then it works. i had the same problem once.

Here you go. Just remember that App permissions are very important. First time it took me an hour to get everything eorking on a custom N3 TW rom.
