Apex launcher and S Planner Widget - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, because in the S6 edge I can't order my apps alphabetically I gave Apex launcher a try...I quite like it, its better than touchwiz in a lot of ways. But...I cant find a way to have the S Planner widget running? It's one of the few Samsung widgets that I use all the time.
I know there are third party alternative's as I've tested a few, but I'd rather use the S Planner widget as I prefer it.
Is it possible to have this widget running on Apex launcher for our phones?
Thanks, Pete.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll have to go back to touchwiz and wait for a firmware update.

It will only work with the TW launcher, if you want to use launcher pro then you will have to use a different widget for your calender. The market has quite a few so I suggest you download some and try them out or use the TW launcher.

S Planner widget without touch wiz

I want to use a more customizable launcher, but really like the s planner widget. Is it possible to get this working with another launcher, or is it kind of 'built in' to touch wiz?
You don't get the option to add the widget on any launchers I've tried and can't find a better, or as good as 3rd party calender.
Thanks

Yes I too like the S Planner widget especially the tasks widget however I'm using Apex launcher.
Anyone found out yet how to port this?
Or.... is there a way to make Touch wiz launcher 5x4 in portrait?
Thanks heaps
Hey guys I'm new to the galaxy :silly: I have an s2 i9100 and touchwiz for me ranks as one of the worst UIs I have ever used (motoblur is my top hate).
but the two things I really liked was the S Planner app and widget, I even copied the 3 related apks from the phone before I switched to miui. now I wish I new a way to get them working but I wouldn't be very good at it and I probably would stuff it up some how.
I've been trying to get pure calendar widgets to work in the same way as the s planner widget (the widget is all I want).
I'll upload the 3 apks if anyone is interested but with all my research the sad fact is no touchwiz no S Planner widget :crying:
by the way if anyone out there knows how to get just a basic month view setup with the pure calendar widget can you please help me?
I don't want
scrolly nonsense
current day/week at top
timeline view confabulary
100000000 widget sizes
I just want
show current month with tap to view next previous month
show upcoming events from my synced calendars (google)
tap on day to view that days events.
thanks for your time.

[Q] TW AccuWeather Widget on Apex?

Hi ppl.
Is it possible to use the AccuWheather widget (screenshot atached) on Apex Launcher?
At apex it does not show that widget and the ones that i have found on Google Play are not the same.
Is that an TW exclusive widget?
Thanks in advance.
I think you just download the AccuWeather app from the play store and fire away, if not then it maybe framework based which in that case is a no buddy. If your talking about installing apex launcher on stock firmware then yeah course it will work, but if your talking about installing say CM10 then asking about the widget then that maybe a problem as I said, it maybe framework based.
anyone interested in blu-ray steelbooks, holla at your boy
it requires tw framework so u won,t get on apex, i badly want it too but end up giving up, i think with go launcher you can have it

[Q] Can you help me find the perfect Launcher?

Hey Guys,
I am in dire need of a launcher I like. I have a Galaxy S II i9100 running CM10. The only Launcher I have used that I love 100% is TouchWiz ironically... But the battery control is too poor to justify a switch back to Stock Roms (And no Jelly Bean!?)
I have tried the extracted TouchWiz launchers and they provide everything I want but all of them crash far to often...
So I am looking for a launcher that will meet my desires (I am willing to pay for it).
1) App View type Ordered List of Apps in Alphabetical Order. (Not the 4x4 grid I want the 1x30 ordered list)
2) Pinch Zoom of the Home Screens to view all home-screens
3) Re-sizable widgets
Thanks Guys,
Joshua Puckett

I looked at Nova a while back, I will re-download it and check it out, thanks. I seem to remember that I couldn't do a list style, Attached is a screenshot of the feature mentioned in 1)... it is the one I want the most.
EDIT: Confirmed that Nova doesn't have the Ordered List feature. Thanks for the advice though.

[Q] 5x6 App Drawer SCH-I545 4.4.2 Rooted

Hi guys this might be a noob question but I am running kitkat on my Galaxy s4 with root access and safestrap. I am trying to get a 5 x 6 app drawer without having to use a different launcher because I like the touchwiz launcher. From the research that I have done Seclauncher3.apk is located under system\priv-app and not under system\apps but all the mods out there point to apps directory. The ones that do point to the right location touchwiz stops responding and so do all the apps. Does any one have any ideas on how to go about this?

Hi hdirani,
I would change your launcher if you would like to do that because most likely if you mess with the touchwiz launcher it can get severely damaged in a matter of seconds. I reccomend Nova Launcher if you would like to have that kind of app drawer though. Messing with TouchWiz can always be damaging to your device and is a unnecessary waste of time to go through its files.
Thank you for the quick response. Is there any way to get scalender and the accuweather widget to work with the nova launcher.

There is a normal widgets menu in the launcher, so you can add those in just like you would in TouchWiz.
