We need some more info. What ROM are you using? Did you remove the widgets yourself? If so, what did you remove them with?
Come back with this and we can give you options.
I had installed the super clean rom but reverted back to stock and installed launcherpro but win i go to add widgets it no longer gives me the option to for samsung

OK. That's because you are using Launcher Pro as your home launcher. As I recall, you must use TouchWiz as the home launcher to use Samsung Widgets. I've tried, just now, with Launcher Pro, ADW, ADW EX, and TouchWiz with only TouchWiz allowing it.

The easiest way to switch between launchers is to download Home Switcher from the market. This way you can pick a default and/or launch any of them that you have installed.
awesome man thanks for you help.

Is there any method/hack to use some of the samsung widgets with Launcher Pro or any other launcher for that matter? I really dislike the samsung launcher but I'd like to use their feed widget for twitter as I've yet to find another good scrollable one.
Thats not possible simply because the touchwiz widgets are withing the touchwiz UI, the come as a hole not as separate packages, hence they can only be install on the touchwiz launcher.

That's too bad. Does anyone know of a similar widget to Touchwiz's feed widget out there? I really liked the way it lets you scroll both facebook and twitter but I love ADW way too much to go back.
Yeah the feed widget is what I was hoping for as well... closest thing I've found is Pure Messenger

A bit off topic, but how do I get Launcher Pro back as the default launcher? While trying to get Kies to work, I made TW the default launcher, not realizing you can't turn off TW the same way. Or do I have to reinstall LP and lose my settings.

I did this too, I think I went into the manage applications menu under TWlauncher and clicked the button that said clear defaults. I believe thats how I fixed it. Then after that hit the home button and the choice to use launcher pro or twlauncher again.
I tried that initially. No TWLauncher showing in the list...hit the menu button and found the filter option. Selected "show all" and there it was. Thanks!

I just got the Nexus S. Before installing CM 7 i tried out the stock launcher with a live wallpaper running. I was surprised at how smooth it was and that it had a very nice way of scrolling through the app drawer. After installing CM7 and launcher pro plus i noticed that opening the app drawer wasn't as smooth with a live wallpaper running and it didn't have the nice way of scrolling. Launcher pro has many more features but the stock did have that smoothness. Is there anyway to get this on launcher pro?
You could try playing with the settings and see if you can normalize it.
There are other alternatives to launchers if you like.
ADW Launcher EX (Paid), ADW Launcher (Free), GO Launcher EX, and more.

not sure what you mean by normailzing. also i would like to use launcher pro only. thanks!
Launcher pro is almost always smoother than stock launcher. But with live wallpaper I know what you mean with the choppy app drawer. Only solution is use static wallpaper instead.
damn that sucks..thanks anyways
The only launcher where the app drawer stays smooth with a live wallpaper selected is the stock launcher, all the other ones get choppy.

Here is a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933517 it's a zip that removes adw and add stock launcher
Stock launcher is the only one that can use hardware acceleration therefore it will always be faster/smoother than any 3rd party launcher.
with the exception of UD Launcher which was used in nscollab for only two releases. Loved it because it was just as smooth and basically the same as the stock launcher but gave you more home-screens and a 5 button dock option and saved a lot of battery even!!!
But then again I guess it is based directly on the stock launcher - at least that'd be my guess.

yes it does, only on the nexus s so far with gingerbread. other phones it is powered by the CPU like normal. i guess google wanted to take advantage of the nexus s powerful hardware. just wish they did it for the rest of the phone, like the web browser, etc.
Yes that's true. Stock Launcher is smoother than ADW, ADW EX and LauncherPro.
I realized that a few weeks ago.
How do i enable the stock launcher? I downloaded Gingerbread Launcher from the market? is that the same thing?
Hi,
I really like the GO widgets like the calendar and facebook ones. However, I'm starting to like QQ Launcher. I know that you install the widgets seperately and they still show up in my apps when I uninstall GO Launcher. HOwever they aren't showing up in my widgets list
Thanks

They dont show up in your widget list because they are made to work with Go Launcher, its the same with the Go Launcher themes, even when you uninstall the Launcher they are still there but you cannot use them.
It is the same with every launcher. Non of the launcher widgets will work with another launcher. I would check android widget pro

Thank you for that link, it's still not as nice as Go Calendar Widget but it is much better then the stock widget. Thank you again. :good:
I miss landscape from launcherpro but I don't want to switch from default home screen as it is just too good on ics.
I'm sure there is a landscape mode hidden somewhere in order to support devices like the Droid 4. Can this be forced somehow with root?
You can use Nova launcher for that. Nova launcher is the default ics launcher with more options like landscape.

Thanks. Nova Launcher looks exactly like what I'm searching for. Installed it and it works perfectly while keeping the vanilla Android look!

Yep, and nova launcher does this. All other launchers have landscape too but they don't have the original ics launcher look. That's why nova is perfect.

Trebuchet is CM's official ICS launcher. I looks, feels, and responds exactly the same as stock launcher, because it's a modded stock launcher. It has a ton more features, one of which is auto-rotation.

IMO, if people can't give a well-informed response, they should just ignore the post.

If your referring to me I'm using stock launcher, even if I wanted to use trebuchet I couldn't as I'm not rooted.
I use rotation locker to do it

OK I see. Since I'm running unrooted stock rom I guess there is no chance to install it separately from cm...I'd root my Nexus S for it but I'm not interested in CM mod...

Oh that sounds interesting as I'm really only interested in landscape view. I don't need any other option, and I'm afraid that other launchers like nova will eventually be loaded with too much stuff I don't need. I'll check rotation locker out. Thanks for the hint!
you don't need to be rooted to use a 3rd party launcher. if you can use any other launcher, why wouldn't you be able to use this.
...and that comment wasn't directed at any one user...it was directed at all users who claimed there was no ics-like launcher with rotation, sine trebuchet has been out for over a month!!!

Trebuchet requires it to be installed to system so you need root or a unlocked bootloader to place it in /system/app

one update on these orientation locker apps. I tried both the free one and another paid app. In both cases the auto setting wouldn't stick. So it would support automatic screen orientation with landscape but only for a limited time. After some minutes it wouldn't work anymore. So this is didn't really help. I swichted back to nova launcher for the time being.
i have a sensation xe so i just wanted to know how can i get menu/application button coz i dont like all my apps to be in the desktop in JBMIUIv4.1(15.10.2012)
Did you try installing another launcher like Apex or Nova Launcher?
yep

yup did that but again that makes all the icon theme dissapear what i want is evrything to be same but it sud have the apps/menu button thanks
I doubt it is possible to have an application drawer in Miui, the only way I coud think of is a launcher, but that apparently doesn't work. If you really want an app drawer, install another rom.
Try this. But I doubt it will keep your icon theme.
