Possible to Launch Alternate App with Widget? - Android General

Hi!
I am wondering if it would be possible to launch a specific app by clicking on a widget that is from a different app?
IE I like the weather widget from one app but like the actual app layout from another one.
Thanks!!
I have a rooted nexus 6p with Xposed installed.

Android Launcher/App drawer

Is there an android launcher app which can replace the app drawer?
It really bugs me that the apps are in two places - on my desktop and in my app drawer, this makes the app drawer very messy and unorganized.
I've never understood the concept of showing one app in two places.
Maybe there is an app to disable app drawer - all apps show up on desktop, together with widgets etc. or another way would be to hide apps from the drawer in case they are already on desktop
I dont know if this what youre looking for but try to search "awd ex" in the market

UCCW and GO Launcher Shortcuts

Good day,
I am trying to create some new designs for UCCW but I've found the UCCW doesn't show the GO Launcher shortcuts as an option for a hotspot. This means I can't create a hotspot that opens the app drawer.
I read a possible solution was to use transparent Desktop VisualizeR widgets. However, that only works if the Launcher allows you to overlap widgets. I have been unable to find this option in the GO Launcher.
Other than switching launchers, is there another solution? Would the Popup Widget be suitable?
Many thanks.

[Q] Any way to remove the default lock screen widget?

I have gone into security settings and enabled lock screen widgets. This allows me to add DashClock widget to the lockscreen, however, I am unable to remove the default weather/clock widget from the lock screen. "Remove" is greyed out and the only option when you grab it is to "edit" it. DashClock works fine and I can remove it like normal.
This wouldn't be too big of a deal but it won't let me move the default to a different screen, its locked to page one so to get to DashClock I have to swipe.. Well, if I have to swipe its pretty pointless to have lockscreen widgets, I can just swipe to unlock the phone and have my widget on my homescreen.
I was able to take some screenshots to demonstrate what I'm talking about - I'm "new" so I can't post the link but try this: imgur.com/a/oCfVt
I was unable to find a way myself. I've been using this lock screen app instead https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slidelock
Really nice. Lots off features.

subbed for answer
Has anyone found a solution to this?
Only way to do is ..
The only way to hide/disable the stock HTC weather/clock widget is if you have rooted devices with installed Xposed Framework. There is a module called "Sense 6 Lockscreen Modes" where you have an option to remove/hide the widget, in that way being able to have any other widget on your main lockscreen !
I researched about this a lot, and the most covenantway to disable/hide the widget was to apply this module, plus you can have it back any time you want, just by disabling that module!

Folders IN app drawer?

Hi everyone.... Loving my new Mate 9 but have a question.... I know that if I want an app drawer that can have custom folders in the drawer I can do so by using a third-party launcher, like Nova. I have been a loyal Nova user for years as a matter of fact. That said, when I got the M9 I was intrigued by the stock launcher. At first, I just used it with no app drawer and made folders on some home screens but now I'm wondering..... is there anyway to BOTH use the app drawer, AND make folders in that app drawer instead of just having every app shown individually, in alpha order?
My other question would be..... If I use the app drawer and drag an app onto the homescreen, is there any way to have it NOT also show up in the app drawer? I think the app drawer would be far less cumbersome to search through if those apps already showing on the homescreen didn't also have to be shown in the app drawer.
I hope my questions are clear. Thanks everyone!
I hope there is a folder solution as you describe. I too would like to better organize my app drawer.
Yes! Thank you! My thoughts exactly. Any app (not launcher) based solution out there?

Personalize locksreen

Hi,
Is there any way to personalize the lockscreen (withou installing a new lockscreen app)?
I'm having issues with the meteorology app, beacuse it is always requesting GPS.
Or is there a way to stop the meteorology app from using GPS and just use a city choose by me?
I don't want it accessing the GPS all the time. I've already took it away from the homescreen but I haven't found a way to take it from the lockscreen.
Question 1, no not without installing another launcher. The icons on the LockScreen are the ones on the Dock.
Question 2, I would check in the Meterology App Settings, something along the lines of Location, Default home or something like that. Hard to tell when no one knows exactly which app you are referring to. Most likely look in Settings.
Hi,
Thanks for the answer and sorry for not being explicit.
I was talking about the weather app that comes with the phone.
If I add a new widget from that app to the homescreen I can choose a specific city but the widget on the lockscreen keeps updating using GPS.
If i use another weather app on the homescreen, the one on the lockscreen will not change and it will still be the one that came with the phone.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically the same applies. Go into Weather app, Menu(3 dots), Settings and unclick Auto detect my location.
It was the first thing I did!
