Alternative Launcher
I would love an answer to this as well. I installed Launcher Po but likewise could not get widgets to show.
All home replacement launchers cannot not have widget with S7. Its a known issue, I thought by removing default launcher would help but ended with same result, maybe with custom roms it will fix this issue.

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.
I've uninstalled both ADW and launcher pro multiple times trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Then I thought maybe it was to do with the changes Telstra made as mine is rebranded and has apps I cant uninstall.
I have noticed that the icon for the widget is different in the default home screen to in the other launchers.

Widgets just won't work for now. I've tried adw, launcher pro, zeam, etc, etc...just live with the native launcher if you want any widgets for now.
LauncherPro is great for me but yes, no widget use apparently. We are awaiting a new ROM to flash after CWMod comes here.

if you root the device you can uninstall all of the telstra crap...
on the subject of telstra, how **** is it that telstra prepaid cannot tell you how much 3G data you have used for the month... its a bloody joke.
I had the same problem with ADWlauncher and Widgetlocker. After installing AppWidgetPicker it works with widgetlocker. Don't know about the launcher because i removed it. You can find AppWidgetPicker here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
Edit: tested with ADW and it works!
With 2. 2 All the widgets work

does anyone know if this is possible, i would like to use adw but still be able to use the standard samsung widgets,
No. Samsung widgets are part of TouchWiz launcher.
Yeah i tried this myself and mole, samsungs widgets are exlsuive to its launcher. I always said if its part of the phone's software, it should be able to run on any other home replacment with scrollable widget options.

i only need the buddiednow widget, i wonder if you can install it as a regulart APK and if then it would show up on ADW.
Is there way around loosing all of the HTC widgets when installing launcher pro.....namely the beautiful widget?
I have the beautiful widget .apk but I don't think it will work as well as the mt4g stock version.
Also, I had to un install launcher pro to go back to using the sense UI. I tried using home switcher without any luck.

I think the stock HTC widgets will not work as they require HTC framework and code in the Launcher to utilize it. i.e. you have to use Espresso Launcher for them to work.
As for installing and uninstalling Launcher Pro... I have no idea as I use ADW and can freely switch, although I never do.
Thanks.... wish the "faves" button and the "genious" button could be changed..... a side from those "features" I don't mind the sense UI.

If all else fails you can always clear defaults in settings.
Menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> (find your current launcher) touch it -> press the "clear defaults" button
The above also works for your internet, messaging, etc

The old fancy widget looks exactly like the htc clock. That's why they had to change it. Its easy to find on the net.
Doesn't do the flipping action like the HTC one does. In fact, I believe only the newest versions of the HTC clock actually flip. I ran the HTC flip clock on my Desire ported ROM on the N1 and it didn't flip there either.
Thanks.
Not only does the newest HTC clock flip, when it rains a windshield wiper wipes your screen. When it's cloudy your screen clouds up. Pretty neat effects i thought.
I .got over it though. Ive had weatherbug elite for a while so im back to using it with launcher pro and aquarium live wallpaper.
I like a nice clean screen..... so those large iphone like icons combined with no customizable dock had to go.

Beautiful Widgets are the exact same thing. Clock and the Weather animation. Comes on everytime you unlock also.
The newest FancyWidget Pro is the closest thing I've found to replacing the HTC Clock Widget. FancyWidget Pro is awesome though! Super customizable and it can display the battery percentage right on the widget! I've switched to LPP and FW instead of mySense. Only thing LPP needs now is a News/RSS widget and it'll beat Sense hands down!
hey
has anyone noticed that stock launcher is freezing more often since mt fw???
already reinstalled the fw and still getting it
idk if r2r client process has anything to do with it
Yes, but in my case it is adw launcher

No crashing on the Go launcher with DT and JIT installed for me
No crashes with Adw launcher Ex,
imma have to use adw launcher
idk if one of these apps is messing with home
one seven
simiclock
world clock
didn't have them before the last update
I get the odd force close with ADW EX seems to have been on the last 2 updates cant remember any FC on ADW EX V1.0
I've become pretty accustomed to launcher pro since i used to use it on my mt4g and now again since it was included with g-lite on my G2 but i have always been curious about go launcher... it looks like it has more customization options and features than launcher pro but i'm not sure and i don't necessarily feel like re doing all my launcher settings and stuff if go launcher sucks.
So does anyone use go launcher? Is it any better or different from launcher pro? Does it consume any more or less resources than launcher pro would probably be the biggest thing...
Thanks in advance.

theyre both pretty much the same now, launcher pro is still a bit ahead cause the widgets are kinda cooler
if you want less resources consumed and no lags at all use the stock launcher, it doesnt have customizations tho
You won't have to redo your Launcher Pro configuration/settings if you try Go Launcher. You can try/install as many launchers as you want. If you want to switch back to another launcher, you just need to clear defaults in Settings>Applications>Manage applications>(current launcher). Then press home, and pick the launcher that you want to switch to, and it will still be setup how you left it. Or use an app like Home Switcher for Foryo (works for Gingerbread, too). to make switching a bit faster.
It's can be use and all the same. With g-lite ROM i'm using GoLauncher, when i want i use Launcher7 - winphone7 launcher - with no problem
So I decided to upgrade to Soundhound plus, in large part because of the 1x1 ID Now widget. I can deploy this without issue when using the stock Touchwiz Launcher. For some strange reason, I cannot use it with other launchers, so far having tried Go Launcher and Nova Launcher. In each case, the widget list only shows the other (4x1, non-auto-start) Soundhound widget, not the ID Now one I want. This, of course, is an issue, because I want to make use of ID now, but I also really want to switch to a better launcher, one that will allow me to put more content on each homescreen.
Thoughts?
EDIT: A related problem: Pandora widget works in stock launcher but not Nova launcher.
Some widgets are only built for selected launchers. For example the AccuWeather widget only works on touchwiz launcher. And won't work if you use a third party launcher.

Try Apex Launcher it works perfectly for me. Never had one single problem with widgets on Apex Launcher yet.

You can't find it in Go Launcher (and possibly others) because it's a "Shortcut" and not a widget. I have Go Launcher and ID Now is under Shortcuts .
