Briefing - Galaxy Note5 Themes and Apps

I dislike TouchWiz but I keep going back to it because I love the briefing app is there any way to make it the same way and any other launcher?

What is the breathing app?

Haha thanks, autocorrector happened! Meant to say briefing from Flip board, left swip on TouchWiz

is there a way to add social accounts to briefing such as facebook, instagram ...

yes all the way at the bottom of the options. you need to make sure it is checked. it is a little confusing but its there.

Is there any way to log into your Flipboard account in Briefing?

I really like the Briefing app, but without much customization option, it's pretty useless. I gave up and disabled it. Using Google's Newsstand.

You can always use the HTC Launcher. It has Blink Feed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/htc-blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438

Your opposite. I like touchwiz but don't like Briefing App, hahaha

[REQ] Contact Widget?

Looking for a contacts widget similar to People in Sense UI. Of course, understand we won't get scrollable widget due to lack of Rosie, but just a static 3x3 or greater widget would be awesome.
Found "Artis Contacts Widget" in the market which looks to be a good start but it's not customizable, doesn't support Facebook contact pics and seems to be low res.
Any thoughts, or devs up to the challenge?

[request] Clear people/bookmark widget?

Does anyone know of an app for either a people or bookmark widget? Much like the ones you use on sense/ launcher pro plus.
I use the ones on launcherpro but they just don't go with Manups theme too well.
Thanks guys
I use Scrollable Contacts Widget. It had a transparent background option.

No FB photos unfortunately. I just use it to display my starred contacts and I have pics for most of them already. It has a bunch of options and widget sizes plus it's free so you might want to check it out regardless.

[Q] Asus Email Widget for GMail?

Is there any way to get the Asus email widget to open GMail instead of the stock Email app?

Menu in the top right hand of the screen (in the email app)
Click account settings
Add Account is in the top right hand corner.
Make it your default. If you have another email account setup, you may want to delete it. The widget will tell you the total unread emails across all accounts setup.

Already done that
I'd like to know if there's a way to make it so that tapping the widget brings you to the GMail app instead though
The stock email app isn't quite as good as GMail
@slient
I have the same question/problem
I think that's impossible because Google is blocking every connection with Gmail app. No app on the market can connect to Gmail! Even ASUS is not allowed to create an app that works hand-in-hand with Gmail... sadly...

Well, technically, the desired effect can be achieved by checking for unread mail the way it is now but tap action should just open the different app.

Ah my bad, I misread the OP.
Out of curiosity what features do you want the gmail app for? The only real difference I saw was priority inbox/starred mails support. I don't use that often enough myself to worry about it.

GMail handles labels better and has a bigger viewing panel
also the default email app doesn't string conversations together
Not impossible, launcher pro has gmail widgets that I use everyday on OG EVO and 3D EVO

If the widget stops working after the update, please readd it. I am aware of an issue where the widget may lose recent conversations, this has been fixed for future updates...
The widget looks really nice, but damn it my Sony Xperia Z has not received 4.3 update yet...
Does it support lockscreen widgets?
Downloading
Looks great, will definitely be using

If widget goes live on homescreen , so that we can type there only..
F yeah!
Are we maybe one step closer to a quick reply type pop up?
Like it!
But, IMHO, it must be a little bit wider
Getting error 920, can't download :/

Thanks for sharing. If you're taking feature requests, a transparency option and making it. available as a lockscreen widget would be amazing.

The OP's link got truncated a bit. Try the full link (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RSen.Widget.Hangouts) OR do a search on the Play Store.

Device not compatible at&t s4..
Can you post the APK for those that don't use the Play Store?
Installed!
It shows up as #9 on the list when searching "hangouts widget"
Anyways, it's visually appealing and I like how the plus sign takes you directly to current messages or to create a new one directly as well.
I'll see if any new messages appear on the widget since you say it doesn't show old messages
when I install the widget I can't send any messages in Hangouts anymore. It will just try and retry to send forever. Need to uninstall widget and reboot the phone to get it working again.

Maybe... The thing is I can't actually interface with hangouts so I would have to fake the input needed to send the message...

This app is completely independent from hangouts and uses notifications to get the messages, so it shouldn't alter your ability to send messages at all... It is more than likely just coincidence that it is working now and not then.

What non Samsung apps do you use ?

Just curious how many people use different non Samsung apps on their Note 5 ?
- Keyboard ? I use Google Keyboard, I found the stock Samsung keyboard too cramped
- Text app ? I tried stock messages but didn't like it, so went back to Textra
- Themes ? I don't like the look of stock TW, so I went with the Material Dark theme
- Browser = Chrome
- Launcher = NOVA
Anyone else use different non Samsung apps ?
Another question regarding the stock messages app;
On the stock Messages app, I hate that little description that pops up for 2 seconds when about to type or reply to a Group Message ? It says like " Group messaging will now be converted, blah, blah blah " How can I turn that off, or stop it from popping up each time when replying to a group text ?
Same apps as you except I use action launcher instead of Nova. Also use Google calendar just because of the widget. the stock calendar app isnt bad.

Nova launcher pro, swiftkey keyboard, hangouts for sms, chrome browser, aosp calculator, Google calendar, Google Keep for notes, i pretty much delete every Samsung app as soon as i get root on these phones.
I use squid as my writing pad, has some cool features.

Can't confirm that the Google Keyboard does but I would think it does. Swiftkey ( my keyboard of choice ) allows the use of the SPen.
I use Fleksy KB. It's the bomb diggy!

The spen feature should work with any keyboard specifically because it pops up if you hover wherever you can do text input.
SwiftKey, Opera browser, Power Amp
