Coming from HTC Sense I got really used to well designed widgets...
Can anybody tell me whether it is possible to start the clock app from the Accuweather widget instead of the weather app? Or is there an app or a hack to customize the app of choosing for a widget?
I haven't seen a mod for it, plenty of weather clocks in the Play Store allow this though. Try one of those.
that's sucks dude, I have no use for any of the Samsung widgets at all....why did they even make Touchwiz....

If we're talking about launchers and the notification bubbles on the sms and email icons - apex and nova both support that (only pro versions I believe)...anyways getting a bit OT

I could not get anything to work with the stock email program so TW is fine for me. It is easier to change the weather widget than the whole launcher and subsystem.

What are you looking for to make it "good"? Facebook has a good Facebook app.
So far as widgets, the Launcher Pro Premium version has great widgets for both Twitter and Facebook.
I think the OP is looking for an facebook widget.
My vote for the Launcher Pro widget.
Colorize widget is pretty good. It's a little more customizable than Launcher Pro, but I prefer LP the best.

Try the launcher pro widget thats what I use and an app called flow just for using facebook. I also like facebook apps widget so its all personal preference. I'd try flow's app in the market I personally like using it more than the facebook app
thanks guys, combination of launcherpro and flow will work for me wonder why flow doesnt have a widget but the LP widgets are really nice!

Hey guys is there any way to disable the perspective(scrolling) wallpaper on Android? I have an evo
running mik g rom. Thanks for the help in advance!

If you mean how the wallpaper scrolls with home screens, then I know you can use Nemus launcher and that's an option in the settings.

Nothing i've ever heard of. There's no good reason not to install another Launcher that has this option though. Launcher Pro or ADW are probably the favourite choices.

Try the OGQ background app, with it you can choose scrolling/nonscrolling etc...
It's awesome.
You can find it in the market, backgrounds by OGQ

Yes... This app has an option to do that...
Did you not read my post.
You can use this so to set wallpapers you already have too by going into gallery, closing set as, and them picking this app out of the list.
Wallpapyrus gives the options to have iPhone like wallpaper (ie no scrolling)

I can't stand how the Samsung Cal widget starts on Monday. However, it is the only widget that I have found that is 5x5. What do you use?
If you run go launcher they have an awesome calendar widget that is theme-able. Think ICS yo

If you change the pref to Monday and then back to Sunday, the widget will update itself.

You're right about this. It worked.
How do I get the stock Samsung Calendar widget onto one of my home screens? Is it even possible to have the calendar as a widget? I don't see the option. I would like it to display the full month.

I believe the stock Samsung Calendar widgets are only available in the stock launcher. If you are using the stock launcher then just add it like any other widget.

Figured out a way to use blink feed with 3rd party launchers (at least ADW, I assume others can as well)
Using ADW, i created a custom shortcut to an activity. That activity was the Sense 5 launcher. When I click the shortcut it takes me to blink feed.
I deleted all the sense 5 launcher pages except blink feed.
When I hit home it goes back to my ADW home.
Will post screen shots tonight.
Maybe this is common knowledge.....if so sorry.

Actually to clarify, it looks like the activity shortcut I was using is from the Apex launcher i also have on the phone.. It just shows as a choice in the ADW custom shortcut menu. I also notice an activity shortcut form Nova launcher in there too.

Sort of. It is really just an icon to switch between sense 5 and the 3rd party launcher. You will remain in the sense 5 launcher until you hit the home button. However, I see no reason to stay in sense 5 except for blinkfeed, so yes, I am using it like an app and deleted all the non blinkfeed homescreens and dock icons. Of course sense 5 doesn't let you delete the app drawer icon so that is still there.
You retain full functionality of the blinkfeed page (clock/weather/and blinkfeed options). You can still tap the weather and get details, tap the clock to get world times, etc.
Along those lines, anyone know how to get the original HTC 4x2 weather flip clock into a launcher OTHER than Sense, such as nova launcher? Not as a downloaded widget from the play store, but the one I could add to the Sense additional home screens.

I have two clock widgets when I look at adding a widget to nova, I don't know if one of mine was added by an app or if they are both default nova. If you can tell me where to pull a file from I'd be happy to help. Otherwise I'm not totally sure what you can do. I am still fairly new to this launcher.
Good luck, let me know what I can do to help.
I had the same problem... Ended up just getting Timely and using their widget
Sent from my LG-V500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This is an ever-returning problem for all 3rd party Launchers. TouchWiz, Sense and whatever LG is calling their UI all have widgets that are only compatible with their respective launchers. Install all you want, they still wont show up outside of the stock LG Launcher. You can usually find some that look much the same and some times a genious comes along and ports the widgets. You could try heading over to the G2 forums, I suspect there's more life over there, maybe their "Themes and Apps" forum has a ported edition. Who knows.

I did the same thing - use the Timely widget. With Nova I could overlap it with the Yahoo weather widget so that they look like one thing.
My other virtually-the-same-thing clock widget choice is Chronus
