I had to use the Stunts wallpaper fix. That's how I got my Kindle HDX wallpaper to work

I just love the default weather widget for Samsung Galaxy S3. Problem is that when I change to Nova Launcher, the weather widget is not available from the widget list! What can I do to get the default weather widget in Nova Launcher? Must I switch to Apex or another launcher? :S
The default weather widget is part of Samsung's TouchWiz so when you change launchers you lose it. Going to another launcher other than Touchwiz will still not give you access to that widget.
You might try some of the widget programs like Beautiful Widgets in the market. They might have similar weather widgets. I know on my Rezound I use Beautiful Widgets for my HTC Sense style weather/clock when I run Nova.
Is there any way???? i need the weather widget in my apex launcher...

Doesn't look like it, I want the s planner widget but that too isn't available without touchwiz.

Yep, you only get the 'Calendar' widget.
The touchwiz widget apks are system apps. If some brilliant mind could pull them from system/app and (somehow) convert them to installable user apps, we would be able to use them with any launcher.
I'm not sure if this is even feasible...any takers;-)

Partially true…
On my Galaxy Tab P5100 with stock 4.1.2 and Nova launcher, the Accuweather widget was working flawleslly. It is a case, that it is partly a part of the system, because when pressed, it opens a full screen application...
Now, on 4.2.2 Nova can't pick it up anymore

That is inaccurate.
On my Galaxy Tab S2 the built-in Weather app used to provide both of its widgets to Nova Launcher without any problems: both the wide "clock & weather" widget and the small "weather only" widget were available in Nova. I had that classic Samsung's widget it on my screen in Nova for several years now. However, in my case just recently (around the beginning of November, I think) the wide "clock & weather" widget suddenly became unavailable in Nova Launcher.
The small "weather only" widget is still available in Nova Launcher though. When I switch to TouchWiz, I see two widgets under the built-in Weather app. But in Nova I see only one - the small one. This is a recent change.
I have no idea why "clock & weather" disappeared in Nova, but "widget is part of Samsung's TouchWiz" and "touchwiz widget apks are system apps" theories obvioulsy don't hold any water. Anyone?
I was wondering if anyone knew how to add a wallpaper to the lock screen? Or even add a wallpaper to the the stock loader? Is there a file that can be edited?
no it can't be done yet, the nova launcher can't show the wallpaper even though the hdx has been rooted, but some launchers have it's own wallpaper that will show.
Really? Nova works fine here with all Wallpaper apps, just REGULAR wallpapers though, HDX doesn't do live wallpapers (yet). I have a couple different Wallpaper packs, and even Zedge works.

Without root and without any wallpaper fix?
Sent from beneath my cloak of magic
there has to be a way. after rooting and removing the god awful ads, when first booting there is a background on the lock screen that changes after each reboot.
i am gonna look into this. i hate that there is not a way for my kids to distinguish their kindles apart.
First you download No Lock app from Play or anywhere u can. Run it and deactivate the lockscreen with root access.
Then you download any 3rd party lockscreen like Galaxy Locker or Go Locker to use as lockscreen. You can use any wallpaper u want there.
I just installed Nova Launcher on my stock G Pad and imported all of the apps from the stock launcher. The stock weather widget doesn't seem to work with Nova. Does anybody know a workaround to get it to work?

Afaik not possible. Like on samsung roms, only for stock launcher. Stock calender widget should also crash on nova launcher.

You are correct, Sir. Stock widgets, HTC, LG and Samsung will only work in their respective UI Launchers.
OK, thanks for the heads up on that. There are plenty of other weather widgets, I just like the look of the LG stock one.
Hi to everyone, I just upgrade honor 7 with mm. I'm using nova launcher and I noticed that now all of my widget doesn't work well. For example clock doesn't work and the time doesn't go on. Can you help me? Thanks
just installed nova launcher (trial version) and clock works fine.....I am on B320...
I'm experiencing this too. Can see my clock widget and my real time at the top. Using Nova launcher with weather widget. Not sure is it due to marshmallow, or nova launcher or the widget itself.

When you unlock the phone the widget clock is synced with the phone´s clock. But if you maintain the screen on, as time goes by, the widget is not updated.
This happens with other phones and clocks/apps. Seems to be a "feature" and not a bug
Probably a energy or security restrain.
I fixed it going to advance setting in the app section and giving the permission to wake up the phone to keep running also when the screen is off To the widget. Now works fine
Fire 6, rooted, Nova Launcher.
If I try to add certain widgets to Nova Launcher, it takes me to the Settings app.
Specifically, I'm using PPP Widget 3, which requires root privileges. It works fine on other devices.
Any ideas?
Yeah had the same issue, just gave up adding my favourite widgets
