Quick question, on my s6 even with nova prime I had the ability to use the Samsung weather widget.
I'm actually quite happy with how stock touchwiz is but randomly i thought lemme install nova, and go to find the weather widget is no longer available. Has anyone got it to work? Or is the only other choice is to use a different app?
I have the s8+
Many thanks.
Do, I can't use the Samsung Weather Widget when running Nova Launcher on S7. I use Beautiful Widgets and select their time and weather widget.

Xwidget appears to be a different weather widget. How does it solve the OPs problem?

It looks almost the same, he can choose the weather app of samsung to opens with the widget
Thank you for a the suggestion guys, just read on a reddit that Samsung is blocking 3rd party apps. I've been messing with beautiful widgets and for now I'm happy with it.

Try changing settings or uninstall then reinstall.

Stop using your task killer to kill it.
I am thinking of using Nova Launcher, but wondering if I will loose any functionality. Does any one know if this is the case?
Try it and let us know!!

I'm using it. You don't lose a great deal - page buddy and the very nice weather widgets are all I can think of that make a daily difference. All the big features still work, including multi-view.
You get rid of most of Touchwiz though, which is a massive advantage.
@ekerbuddyeker - am trying it, but as this is my first Samsung device (only got it today), and never used any of the Samsung features before; I wouldn't have known if I was missing out on anything. Thanks for your contribution though
Seems to be running well so far. Just reading up on "Page Buddy" to see if I think I need it (Thanks Robster83 for that info).
The main advantages of Nova so far are that I can increase the amount of rows and columns on the desktop. I have just come from Paranoid Android on the Galaxy Nexus and with the large screen and default DPI everything on the Note 2 looks VERY BIG. Also finding the swipe down gesture to open up the notifications useful as my fingers struggle to get to the top of the screen when holding the phone in one hand.
Im using Nova and I think its a better option. I can still get Snote to open when I remove the pen so for me losing page buddy doesn't matter. The extra customization is well worth it.
+1 to nova here, much better than tw
Nova is pretty good although does anyone know how to get the S Planner Calendar Widget working with it? The S Planner Calendar widget is so much more advanced than the standard calendar widget and it kinda sucks for that to be the one thing that gets removed when I use Nova.

PageBuddy does not work with Nova launcher or GO launcher.

SPlanner is built into the TouchWiz Launcher, making it impossible to get the widget on anything else other than stock launcher.

+1
I agree with everyone here. Definetly a +1 for Nova over TW.
But since I had page buddy setup to launch Rocket player when my headphones were attached, it seems as though it is locked into that setting. I tried going back to the TW environment to turn it off but it didn't work
Go Launcher is a better option for me, than any other launcher, I would urge those who haven't tried it to give it a go. Loads of customisation possible and the go ex notification add-on is nice.
In terms of calendar widget. Ive also tried loads and best I have found is Pure Calendar Widget.
+1 on Pure Calendar. Also Wizz widget is fine, also free.
I know its not a calendar thread, but if you have already mentioned calendars, then Business Calendar Free!
I'm using nova for two years. After installing it I immediately delete touchwiz launcher. Best launcher I ever tried.
Any way to get the stock weather widget and use it with Nova Launcher?
Hi,
In short: nope, it's not possible...
You can try some weather apps on the Play Store that look a bit like the stock weather widget.

The stock weather widget and the calender widget are tied to the LG UI framework. Short answer the user above said, Not possible (yet)
I've tried 7.0 and went back to 6.0, starting from scratch in the process and I'm trying to add this widget to Nova launcher. It seems impossible now and according to the internet is was never possible. However, I'm sure I did it before, as I have a screenshot here:

Can anyone help? I'm positive this is not a 3rd party app.
I didn't think you could add native widgets to alternative launchers. I have Nova launcher and use HD Widgets for my weather and clock on the home page.

Apparently no one thinks so, but I did it, with proof right there... I just have no idea how I did!

It was possible. I did that too with my S7. It disappeared after upgrading to Nova 5.0
A way round the clock weather issue
I too had this problem. After many attempts I added a stock nova weather widget on the right and a stock clock widget on the left. It seems OK to me. Some resizing necessary to achieve the desired effect.
Hey guys, as the title say, im searching a special widget for the weather on home screen. It looks similar to the Standart samsung weather widget, but i guess this is not a simple theme. I think it is a seperate app or whatever..maybe launcher Design for this.
Maybe someome can help me to find this.
You can See what i mean on the attached Screenshot on the right side. Or on the right Device.

Why don't you try Xwidget on playstore. It got tons of widget from other launchers into one app. Maybe what you want is in there.

Today Weather app (Play Store) and Chronus app (Play Store)
See screenshots.

Looks very similar both..will give it a try :good:
That looks like Google's at a glance widget. Check your Google widgets on phone.
