For some reason I remember it appeared in the widgets on the Note 4 even with Nova. But, you can't on the Note 5. However, you can use a 3rd party widget application (like Zooper) and install an S6 Weather widget (which is pretty much the same as the stock Note 5 weather widget). Or you could use UCCW or Zooper and create your own. I was going to do that, but I got lazy and bought one from the play store for $0.99 that works with Zooper Pro.
It you're looking for something similar and clean looking like the stock widget you could run a Brightweather and Timely Combination. Have App Overlay turned on and place Brightweather at the top and then Timely below it and stretch Brightweather over Timely to give make it look as if it's one widget and while keeping it clean.
This is how I had it set up for example. I hope this is a good alternative for you!

Xwidget is also a good alternative, although, I have never been able to get the stock weather app to work with Nova.
chronus widget added one that looks similar. need to download the Chronus GS6 weather icon pack too.
There is a way to do it. Technically, won't be the widget but it will be a zooper that looks just like it. You'll also have to add some transparent icons to open the app whenever you tap the widget. I'll find to how to and post it here
Here you go the zoomed widget that looks like the Samsung weather widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.designedly.zwskin.s6widgets
And this is what the widget looks like.

I actually used Xwidget and I got it to work. There are so many S6 Weather Widgets that are very similar. I tried several and they worked for me on the Note 5.

Do you mean on the Lock screen or the home screen?
you can get the weather widget on the lock screen when Nova is your default launcher. -
All you have to do is setup weather in your touchwiz launcher - once you have a location assigned in the stock home screen weather widget in Touchwiz launcher - the weather will be added to the lock screen regardless of whether you use Touchwiz or Nova - but you have to turn it on in Touchwiz to get it to work on the lock screen after Nova is set as your default launcher.
I also just tried to add "weather widget" on my Nova Home Screen and it works too - I dont know if adding it in Nova will automatically inlcude it on the lock screen or not - but I know if you follow the instructions above, it does work.
Hope that helps.

I understand now -
personally, I use Beautiful WIdgets for the home screen - awesome widget - tons of different options - resizes nicely in Nova - sorry I misunderstood what you were looking for - but maybe beautiful widgets would work for you?
Good Luck

not sure - but I just tried to replicate the look of the stock widget with Beautiful widgets and I got pretty close to what you are looking for - just need to use the right layout and correct thrme - I threw this one together without trying to match the exact look - with a little searching, I am sure you could find a theme that is even closer to stock look -
regardless - good luck

What has been your experience with these? How does one compare to the other in terms of memory usage, battery life, and user experience? Which do you prefer and why?

Launcher Pro wins....just no sense widgets while using
Launcher Pro used less memory by about 0.5MB, I get a little bit better battery out of it with heavy usage (extra hour), the homescreen and app drawer will turn and adjust in landscape, also you can set programs up like the action buttons from froyo since it is included with the launcher. Just remember though the sense widgets will not work while using the launcher so you will have to download third party ones such as beautiful widget if you really still want the weather/clock widget. If know were to look you can find older versions for free so your not paying for something you already have stock with sense. Also follow the link threads and get the 4G widget from rdude (remember to donate since it is useful) so you can still have this toggle on your homescreen like you would be able to in sense.
I switched to Launcher Pro and am not looking back. Battery life is way better but i suspect its because i am not loading any of those heavy Sense widgets like email, friendstream, etc.
Try Fancy Widget instead of Beautiful Widgets. Fancy widget is free and looks *just* like the sense digital clock.
Beside battery life, Launcher Pro is more customizable especially with latest updates (scrolling dock bar, moveable App Drawer button, etc)

I've been using LauncherPro almost since the first version was released, when I was using a Sprint Hero. It just keeps getting better and better with every upgrade. I haven't looked at the Sense UI on my phone in at least a week. And that was just because I was comparing the flip clock/weather widget from Fancy Widgets with the HTC flip clock/weather widget, to see the differences. They are almost identical, pixel for pixel.
Also, to get more of a sense ui feel out of the launcher, you can set up 7 home screens, and download smooth calendar from the market. It looks very similar to the 1 x 4 calendar widget from HTC.
One of my favorite features of the launcherpro is the 3d app drawer. Also, the row of icons at the bottom, that you can configure however you want.
And it's nice with the huge screen, to have 5 rows of icons on the home pages. I turned off auto-orientation, as 5 rows of icons looks like crap in landscape.

Does anybody have issues with the wallpaper not changing after changing it inside of Launcher Pro? I have to go into Sense UI change it there, then go back into Launcher Pro and change it there. For some reason it wants to default to the HTC default wallpaper. The one with the out of focus different colored circles. Has anybody had this issue? If so how did you fix it?
I prefer ADW.Launcher. More customizable than Launcher Pro. You can set the screens as up to 8x8, choose widget sizes, etc.
BTW is there a link to that 'warp speed' star wallpaper?

I tried ADW but kept getting FC every ten minutes or so so I ditched it.
For those of you running custom ROMs, do you "ban" Sense while using LP or just set it as default?

SwitchPro Widget now has 4g toggle. The only thing it lacks now is a toggle for hotspot.
Hey guys, ive made myself some custom icons as i wasn't really happy with what was out there. Ive set them up with Desktop Visualizer so they are bigger.
If anyone else is interested id be happy to upload them and share them to the community.
im also in the process of making a hancent theme to match, and the app market
If anyone does end up wanting them and you need a icon i'll make it for you, only if you request it like this
Application name
[image/link to icon]
Colour you would like (if other colours end up being made)
So i guess this is my contribution to the community lol

Actual size of icons in .psd, so you can have them pretty big on the homescreen if you want.
INSTRUCTIONS
You'll need
- Home Screen replacement adwEX / Launcher Pro ect... ( I use adwEX so ive only tested on that)
- Home screen setup to 10x10
- Desktop Visualizer + config tool (both free in market)
- Folder Organizer (optional)
First setup your home screen to 10x10 and install DVR
Copy all the .pngs to the dvr folder on your sd card
Long Press the home screen and create a dvr config widget, place it in the top left corner and tap on it, set it to 10x10, exit out. Move it to the bottom right tap on it. It will confirm itself. You can delete that widget off the home screen now.
Long Press the home screen and create a DVR widget 2x1 for the size on my home screen or resize the widget 4x2 to have it double the size, or 8x4 for a HUGE one.
Tap on the widget to set it up, under "icon" select image and navigate to the dvr folder and image of choice.
Under action you can choose what you want the widget todo, ie; Launcher an app.
Leave the label blank, and touch effect to whatever colour you like. (im using blue)
When you are done, tap OK and your new icon/widget will be set up.
If you have folder organizer you can setup the app draw icon to link to the app folder via "other/folder organizer link/applications" in the DVR action menu. ( its how i have it setup)

No, as its considered as warez :/, but im sure if you google youll be able to find it.
I'd love to get this for my Tab (XXJID), but whenever I install a launcher (Launcher pro or ADWex) my tab reboots after a few minutes and is stuck in a boot loop.
Only way to fix this is removing the launcher in safe mode.
Do you have any idea how i could get this to work?
Does anyone know the actual pixel sizes for all the different sizes for desktop visualizer widgets on the tab?

I've done the DVR config, set ADW EX to 10x10 then set the Widgets up to 2x1 but the icons are too big to fit 5 in a column. Any ideas where I've gone wrong?
Edit: fixed this by enabling 'auto stretch wifgets' in ADW settings
Also, where do we need to put fonts for Minimalist Widgets to be able to use it?

Well so far I've tried ADWLauncher Ex, ADW.Launcher, Launcher Pro and GO Launcher EX.
So far GO Launcher EX is the only one that at least works for almost a minute, before the Tab reboots and is stuck (started through the finished installation notification).
Pressing the home button does nothing except vibrating sometimes.
READ THE WHOLE THING!
Im using the OFFICIAL weather widget that comes in our Note 5.
The thing is the widget looks different in the preview of Nova Widgets.. The widget looks like white blue calendar in the preview however once you put the widget on the "Desktop" it'll turn into the one that's on the touchwiz launcher.
Widgets > Scroll all the way down till you see the widget "Weather 5X2" (AGAIN it will look different in the preview) > Then apply to home screen.
The only thing that is not available is the clean digital clock but you can do my fix which comes pretty close to the clock widget.
The clock I'm using is a skin through beautiful widgets pro.
- BW Clock 2x1
- Skin: S5-Lollipop-Smooth.
- Turn the background to 0%
- Feature: none
- Select the Date Format of your choice
Once you guys get the widgets setup re-size them to complete the look.
Hope this helps!!

Note 5 Weather Widget Works With Nova Launcher ?
Goes to Widgets, looks through them all, nope don't see the stock Samsung Weather / Clock widget in Nova. So no, this doesn't work, without a third party widget.
The thread title is very misleading. As I would love Nova to allow some stock Weather / Clock widgets to work. Same with HTC Sense widget, most of the good stock ones don't work with Nova.
The only thing I found that looks vaguely close to Samsung weather clock widget is HD weather widgets

I don't think you can. My last Samsung phone was a note 3 and you couldn't add some of the widgets to a 3rd party launcher. Weather was one of them.
zooper widgets.... There are a handful out that match it 100% already.

XWidget on the other hand is perfect
I use beautiful weather widget with nova
Download Xwidget from the play store. It has all like-for-like S8 widgets, and most importantly it pulls data from Accuweather, rather than obscure OpenweatherMap in Zooper. You can also set a click event to open up the full weather. (Have to add the weather app on the homescreen first, from the weather settings)
Can't post screenshots, as first post, sorry

First of all go to the actual samsung weather setting and enable "add weather on apps screen
Then, on your xwidget's weather widget :
Click on it-menu will open
Click on Settings and About
Click on "click event "
Choose "open app"
Choose samsung weather as an app
Presto, samsung weather will open upon click on that widget

Lol
Revert back to stock launcher, access the weather from it, add "show weather on apps screen"
Then revert to Nova, and you'll have an actual weather button in your app drawer.
The rest as per my post above.
Hope this helps

Worked like a charm...You are the man ty!
If you wanna add the weather/temp on the search bar, unlock the Labs settings in Nova and enable the option for it under the Labs settings. Clicking on the temp opens the Google weather app, not sure if you can default it to something else yet.
"It's really simple, actually - while in Nova's settings menu, hold volume down for 2-3 seconds. You'll see a toast notification letting you know that Labs was successfully enabled. Similarly, if you wish to disable the new menu for any reason, just hold volume up for 2-3 seconds."
On the s8, wanted to get opinions of people whom tried the stock launcher for some time, then moved to NOVA launcher,
Do YOU see a difference in lag experience between the two launchers on the s8 ?
(Not worried about customization differences)
I started with nova prime but slowly over time have gone to TW, it's not near as bad as it used to be. Didn't notice much lag on either launcher but I've disabled quite a few services.
Nova launcher is much smoother everywhere but I back to TouchWiz. Love the new TouchWiz.
Sorry Nova you not my preferable for this moment.
I have been using the Nova Prime since its release.
I always install it on any smartphone first of all. However, this time I gave a small chance to the new Samsung UI and was a few days with it.
No way, the Nova is way better/smoother.
Futhermore, the Nova launcher equalizes
the performance of any smartphone. For instance, my previous Note 3 and 4 got the same smoothness with the Nova as compared to the S8+.
Nova for me; much more flexibility and control of my home screen. widget placement is very limited with TW, not so with Nova. and now Nova allows you to swipe left and show Google Now. my (simple/clean) work layout is below . the only drawback using Nova vs TW is limited (if any) use of TW widgets.

On Your homescreen screenshot,
- Which weather widget is that on the top right corner?
- Is the Google Icon on Top left a part of the Wallpaper, or is it a Widget?
- Which Clock, and Agenda widget is it on the bottom left?
I Really like the way you have organized your homescreen. Neat and Clean, and quite informative as well.

weather graphic and temp is widget from Today Weather app. location and current condition is a custom Zooper Widget.

this is also a custom, but simple Zooper widget; it's comprised of a bitmap that when pressed, launches Google Now

clock is a single Zooper widget using the Samsung Clock font. the agenda is also a Zooper widget that includes the next alarm, and my next appointment. it uses predefined xml code included in the app.

thanks for the compliment. this is basically all i need to see when i'm working. as an FYI, the navbar buttons are from a substratum theme and @Tigerhoods 35pt high navbar overlay. also, my Nova desktop grid is 16x11; this allows for precise placement of widgets so i can get the widget layout exactly like i want it.
Going into developer options and cutting the animation speed helps a ton without sieging up the interface
nova is way better than stock!
Nova FTW
Nova for me! Every time I get a new phone I right away root and remove/uninstall stock launcher and have Nova as my main. I LOVE the fact that I can double tap the home screen to lock the screen (less pressing the button - less wear on button). On top of that it's just an over all smooth and fast experience with Nova
Thanks for the comments, and im aware of all the advantages nova has, But intrested in overall lag experience between the two launchers on the s8
Stock is gorgeous. Who says otherwise is just plain idiot who haven't tried all the options.

I want to use nova, but it's still have to much battery drain compared to touch wiz. ever since nova 5.0 it has had problem with battery drain, had that issue on my HTC 10 also. such shame, cus there are much better customazion on nova

I tried stock, nova and pixel launchers. It's very clear that stock is the winner.
I also asked my iPhone friend what he thinks is the best one not knowing which is which and not knowing anything about them, and he chose stock as well.
Edit: spelling
I tried TouchWiz but it doesn't allow me to resize my widget. And I don't believe I can achieve this setup with TouchWiz.

You need Nova beta and you need to download the Google Now add-on for Nova from the web.
