is there any way to use social+ widget on adw or launcher ex????
been trying to add it but no success
I'm sure it has a widget, in which case you could just add it to the one of the screens.
well it has a widget but can be used only with the official launcher and no with anything else
i also wanted to do that since Social+ gave me a force close lg.home process, after clicking on "notification" in widget.

Sorry if this has been covered, but every search just pulled up the main search function issues. What I'm looking for is a way to search for a specific widget installed on the phone.
With GB, a long press on the homescreen would bring up a widget list that could be quickly scrolled through. With the stock ICS setup, the only way to add a widget is to find it by scrolling page after page of widgets until you get to the one you want. If your widget starts with one of the end letters of the alphabet, you'll be scrolling through lots of pages!
I'm surprised there isn't an easy way to search for a specific widget. I checked the search settings and can include installed apps but not widgets. Is there an easier way to quickly find a widget you want to add to the homescreen?
You can try 3rd party launcher like holo or go launcher

I've tried several - most replace the widget tab on the app drawer with the old-style longpress on homescreen to add a widget. But when you do that - the labels on the widgets don't show up! There is some bug maybe because in ICS this is not the designed way to add widgets and the labels show up as white text on white background. You can get around it by press & hold to see the single widget text but it's actually harder than stock ICS. I did read somewhere that if you root, you can go play with some of the files to fix this.
But I was hoping there was an easier way to search for a specific widget Kinda strange for Google to leave that out.
Is there a way to use the default home weather/clock widget with another launcher? Every time I try to add it, it doesn't show up in the list of available widgets. I want to use it with Nova Launcher.
Purpose: I have 1x1 Titanium Backup widget that works perfeclty. However, it looks horrendous and does not match my layout.
Objective I am trying to find a way to use a simple 1x1 image/icon to replace or launch the widget's functionality. Or remove the label on the Titanium Backup widget.
What I've Tried:
Tasker - but, their 1x1 widget is just as bad
Shortcuts - function is not available via this method
UCCW - nope not the right functionality
Popup Widget - seemed like a good idea, couldn't get it to work, contacted dev
Suggestions: ??? Any ideas? 3rd party apps?
Ps. I'm using Nova Launcher Prime. Changing launchers isn't really an option I'm fond of committing to.
Solution: Popup Widget did exactly what I needed. Developer answered quickly. Needed to directly add a shortcut to homescreen.
I like the stock google launcher over touchwiz. I just noticed the default weather widget (with clock) is not listed when I have the Google Now launcher active. Is there a way around this? I know I can install xwidget or whatever, but seems weird I can't use a widget that already exists on the phone.

It's probably something specific/proprietary to TouchWiz. Check out Chronus:

I believe these guys are behind cLock, the badass time/weather/calendar widget in Cyanogenmod, only the Chronus install offers more variety.
Hi, Have looked around the internet and have found plenty of reference to the S7 and how to fix this but those fixes dont seem to work for the S8+. Anyway the issue is that having installed Nova Launcher and tried to add the Google Calendar and MyFitnessPal Widgets I have noticed that they are quite large in comparison to that of the stock launcher, they seem out of place, even the google search bar looks odd. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?
Found this in web "Support response: *That's something that Samsung does to either try and prevent you from using 3rd party launchers like Nova, or to stop you from using their widgets within 3rd party launchers. *. I also want to use nova launcher but widgets' resolution is too high, any solutions ?
This particular issue is annoying to say the least. Widgets look like crap on Nova vs stock...BUT I did find a workaround with my S8 and just did it on my S10. I haven't seen this solution posted anywhere, but I'm sure many OCD people like myself will be happy:
Create a new Nova widget for "activities". Scroll down to "touchwiz" or "One UI" (for Samsung, may differ depending on what your stock launcher is called). Expand "One UI" and select the activity that ends with ".Launcher. "
That's it! now you can load your stock launcher with a tap of a button. I use this button to load all my widgets (with the mentioned resolution issue) since they are all organized on the stock launcher just they way I like. A press of the home button will take you back to Nova home screen.
Depending on your icon packs, you can make the icon disappear by selecting no icon so you have a "secret" location to launch your widgets or select any icon you wish.
Alternatively, If you don't want to use an icon, you can do the same with Gestures if you have Nova Prime. Just select the gesture to be an "activity" from the shortcuts tab and select that launcher activity as noted above.
Thank you!
You're brilliant. That's all I wanted t express and I made an account to say this. This had been bugging me for so long!

Brilliant solution. I might say this workaround is even better than solving the actual problem. I love android.
