A friend of mine is convinced there is a way to get the touchwiz widgets to work with nova launcher running on synergy rom. I'm not buying it and figured I'd post it out.
So is it possible?? If so how'd you go about doing it??

I'm pretty sure all the stock samsung widgets need TW to run.
As far as I know there is no way to get widgets designed for a particular launcher to work in another. It can be one of the drawbacks of using a custom launcher.
What widgets are you interested in? There's probably quality alternatives out there.
Since I posted this today I found Widgets that are pretty much the same thing as the TW ones. Thanks!!

Could you post what you found so if anyone in the future has this question, it's already resolved?

tried searching for it and didn't find anything relevant - can you please post a link?

You sure you're on the latest update?
I use go launcher also, and have no problems.
I even uninstalled tw, and go launcher is my only launcher.
If you have titanium backup pro, try freezing tw, and see if that stops the issues you're having.

I'd be especially careful when freezing TW. Make sure that you NEVER delete your launcher, because if you do even accidentally, you're screwed.
I did that once. Whole damn screen stayed black. I was trying out several launchers and was using sbp shell and did not like it. I messed around not paying attention and deleted it before switching default launchers. For like a half hour I just kept hitting buttons and through the grace of god got the little use this by default pop up for my launchers. I must say the whole experience sucked.

That sucks. I usually delete tw and what ever launcher comes with my custom roms because I love zeam launcher. I never encountered a tw related problem though

Same here, tw gets uninstalled as soon as I make sure go launcher is working properly.
I just freeze it for a couple days, and if nothing happens, I just smack that uninstall button!

It ain't the stock TouchWiz launcher. That thing has a memory leak.
I don't know if it's Samsung or the Froyo VM. Either way, you can't go wrong. Ditch the stock launcher asap.

i'd say you can't go wrong with Launcher Pro, Go Launcher Ex, Zeam, or ADW Ex.... and probably there are others. not sure there is really a best, it sorta comes down to personal preference.
Launcher pro is goood ause its quick but hard to customize and stuff go launcher goood but too much like adw and zeam its ok but laggs at time but I am on gingerclone v2 right now oh by the way do u know any goood widgets

I haven't used many widgets on the SK at all, but have you tried Fancy Widgets or Beautiful Widgets from the market?

Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium
Well, there's a potential hangup right there. Most widgets will run as a service in the background and eat your RAM/CPU. I've seen all kinds of widgets that boast about how compact they are based solely on the size of the app, but the download size really isn't what you are concerned with; it's the amount of your limited memory that is going to be consumed physicaly running the widget on your device.
Android is very reluctant to shut down services. For instance, I've been trying out a new battery and used a nice battery widget to monitor performance. That's all fine and good, but it ate 20 megs

It would have to be done through porting. Idk maybe a cappy has something based off of it, but probably not. The only devices who have this are the gs2 and maybe the note, which porting from hem is extremely hard.
Ok thx for the info. I had looked around but didn't really find to much info about it.

What's your favorite launcher? I'm trying to figure out witch one I like most. Some are to much some are not enough. I'm liking apex at the moment. I've tried go, nova, adw. What's your input?

I used to use Go all the time, but switched to Nova fairly recently, and am very happy with it. The only thing I miss from Go is the "recent apps" window in the app drawer, but the built-in recent apps menu is pretty close in functionality.
I've tried about all of them and keep coming back to Apex. The free version allows you to use some gestures that Nova charges for. I didn't like the recent update because it was giving me problems dropping apps in folders so I am using an older version.
I used to use Go but switched to Nova after I tried all of them, became a favorite of mine.

I use Nova Launcher, so fast its really good ( and using CleanROM 4.5) so its really good with performance and stability.
Using nova here as it was on sale for only 25 cents a month or so ago... Hard to pass that up. Before that was just using touchwiz and on my DROID eris back in the day I used adw and maybe go launcher.
