Just checked this out, BRD launcher, 7 x 6 grid with resizable widgets and modded pixel density.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390935
Just wondering if anyone could mod the stock launcher to have a 10x10 layout and resizable widgets, possibly with and without the Google search. (or 9x10 if necessary). This is really the only thing I'm looking to change with the stock launcher.. Is anyone willing to give this a shot?
edit:
Yes I know this can be done easily with a home replacement, just wondering if anyone would be interested with the stock launcher. I've used LauncherPro religiously on previous phones, but I'm really liking the stock launcher on this phone..
Bump, because I don't even see this in the forum

Nova launcher and home launcher are basically the stock launcher and can do this

Guys i installed go launcher and i like it very much
But yhe thing is it doesbt show up stock weather widget
When i turn off go launcher and use touchwiz the weather widget is there and in go launcher it doesnt show up
Pls help

This widget needs Touchwiz Framework and Touchwiz Launcher to work. That's the reason why it doesn't work on any other launcher.
This is common among devices with proprietory uis

Sorry, but it does work on the SGS2 with Go Launcher. Are you sure we cant make it work on the SGS3?
Since you already use go launcher, why not try go weather ex from the market? I haven't used it myself, but it looks promising.

I know the feeling. Its a beautiful widget but it doesnt work on Go, Apex or Nova etc. I have tried. There may be a way but so far not broken.
Guys, I'm telling you I have it working on an S2. Here's the screen capture, you can see the widget above and the left-button Go Launcher menu at the bottom.
There's got to be a way to make it work on the S3.

What works on your s2 is irrelevant. Its most likely an updated version on your s3 with new code, probably specifically designed only to work with touchwiz. If it doesn't show up in go launcher then it doesn't work. Its as simple as that

That is old Accuweather widget, the new S3 version won't work with any others launcher at the moment.
Ok, so -for the moment- could someone post the S2 version of the widget apk? That would solve the problem, wouldn't it?

It depends. Did that widget work on other devices such as HTC? If yes, then yes. If no then maybe not.
Download a s2 touchwiz custom rom and extract the apk to find out

OP ask for S3 Accuweather widget not S2 Accuweather widget, both is different. S2 Accuweather widget is so ugly compare with this new S3 one.
I do hoping someone can make the S3 Accuweather working for launcher others than stock TouchWiz.
Fancy widgets is my preferred option even over beautiful widgets.
S3 widget is nicer, but I'd settle for the S2 one. For the moment.
Try "beautiful widgets" it's a highly customizable weather widget.
My favorite...
beautiful widget doesn,t have such beautiful accu weather,,, i am missing it on apex launcher, i hope someone will port

Ok, here's the S2 apk. It won't install on my S3. Bummer.
Try push it to system/app
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I would need root for that, right?

It's already in system/app. How do I start it? If I tap the apk directly, it just tries to install itself.
Everyone who keeps naming all these launchers that are already known must not have seen the new widget on the s3. That widget is the sole purpose I'm keeping tw launcher for now, it's visually better than any other weather widget PERIOD. Praying someone modifies this to work on other launchers

Ok, I was wondering if anyone out there had an apk of the TW Widgets or a modded TW launcher. I'm looking to get more than 4×4 on the home screen and keep the TW Widgets. I am not looking to root just yet so a zip for flashing is out of the question. Thanks in advance.

You can download nova apex or holo launcher and still have the stock widgets and also change your rows and columns

Not exactly. Some of the widgets don't work in Nov (such as the weather clock)

I really would like to keep the touchwiz 4×4 calendar widget. I like it the best and it doesn't work on any other launcher

Without root it's doubtful you'd be able to move the modded apk into /system/app or change permissions anyhow..
You wouldn't be able to install or side load it like any other third party launcher?

Nova Launcher
i have been using Nova Launcher on my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 and I must say it's pretty sweet...customization is sweet color them hand gestures and all...check it out in the Google Play Store theirs a free version and a paid version $4.00...I use the free version for like 10 minutes I liked it so much so I just purchased it....it's been amazing..everyone I know have been asking me what is that and where can I download that at...Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is simply untouchable at the moment...and way way better then any iphone out there....

Business Calendar from market seems like a suitable replacement for that widget. Try it out.
Got sick of not being able to find anything so I just rooted and I am running the modded touching. Thanks to all who offered ideas.

Is there a mod to move app drawer to the middle on tw launcher sorry if I missed it some were else have looked till my eyes hurt
I know I can use alternate launcher but I want tw widgets
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Unfortunately no , please correct me if im wrong.
Nova Launcher Prime, with Jorte (calender app) & Transparent clock & weather are the replacement TW widgets
Ive been to note 1 and theres no famous mod for this untill now. You can use launchers in the playstore but then you loose touchwiz

I like the stock launcher's weather and clock widget so don't want to lose it when moving to another launcher. How can I install that on a new launcher? I've tried zooper's widget and it doesn't scale properly.
I wasn't aware that any third party launcher could run stock widgets.

This is the only reason I use the stock launcher. I especially like the calendar widget.
