Samsung widgets with Launcher Pro

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!

[Q] Oxygen RC6 & Zeam Launcher

Hello all,
Just got Oxygen RC6 installed on my Desire which comes pre-installed Zeam Launcher.
I got a couple of questions if anyone can help me,
1. Is there any way to uninstall Zeam Launcher and get the default back (if there is any default)?
2. Is there any way to change the dock icons? As I've seen in many snapshots of users in the forums, the apps icons on the dock bar (i.e. Messaging, Gmail and so on) are different. Are these customizable and if so how?
Thank you in advance.

[Q] Using LauncherPro widgets with stock launcher

I use LanucherPro plus on my Nexus One and I really like a few of the widgets. I installed the app on my Xoom, and am getting tired of all the force closes. It's just not ready for the Xoom yet; too buggy for me. To be honest, I actually kinda like the stock launcher on the Xoom (don't ask me why). Is it possible to use the LauncherPro widgets and with the stock launcher?
Thanks

[Q] Installing another launcher

i just installed Apex launcher. I don't know how does this launcher thingy work on my phone... i know it's sort of like a app that changes my "home screen". but what happened to my original launcher? is it still running in the background? will choosing default as apex launcher kill the original launcher that comes with the phone? if not, wouldn't it take a lot more ram and kill the battery since there are 2 launcher running at the same time? sorry it might be a dumb question, i'm still new to android...

[Q] Trying out several launchers

So I'm fairly new to the android OS and recently got an HTC One X. I haven't really done enough research to actually get around to rooting it, but for now I've been having fun running different launchers since I have grown tired of the Sense UI. I have currently messed around with GO Launcher EX and Nova, but there are a few more I also want to experiment with (Apex, Launcher Pro, ADW etc.)
When I switch to a new launcher and save it as default does it erase the screen and widget set up of the previous launcher? If go back to Nova for instance will I have to set the screens up again? I noticed when I went back to Sense from Nova everything I had organized in Sense was gone. Is there an app of something that will save this?

It shouldn't unless you erase the data yourself, though I don't know about Sense itself.
I tried out multiple launchers on my phone and never had loss of configurations (except when intentional).

No, you can safely change and default between Launchers, so long as you don't 'clear data' for that Launcher. Rosie (Sense) included
I've encountered some stability issues with LauncherPro on Android versions greater than Gingerbread, and it hasn't been updated in a long time, but it's still my favourite Launcher for older phones
Have fun!

Try the holo launcher. I love it because it is clean and straightforward.

Thanks for the answers, Holo kind of reminds me of Nova which I liked so I'll try it also!

I liked Nova and Apex almost as much, but Apex won out for me since I really needed infinite scrolling in the app drawer.

try to backup every time you want to switch different launcher..
i think every launcher have backup-restore feature
sorry for my english.

If you change between launchers it can happen that widgets etc. you had on your screen can disappear due to different stuff the launchers put on your homescreen by default. Other than that all should be the same - if you didnt delete anything vital
From personal experience I favour apex launcher: it's clean, highly customizable, good looking and fast.
