Removing Widgets Tab on the S3 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi All!
Does anyone here know how to go about removing the widgets tab on the s3? I have included a screencapture of the tab I would like to remove. I am rooted, and am in the process of 'streamlining' the stock Sprint ROM. Thank you in advance!

That's not an S3 feature that's Google Jellybean feature. That's how the rom is built and designed.

You can use Nova Launcher. With it you can remove the Widgets Tab.

[REQ] News and weather apk for SGS3

News and weather (aka Genie) has always been the first thing I install on my previous galaxies, Can someone work out how to make it work for sgs3 please
Kind regards Dan
I've had a look at the apps inside Cyanogenmod roms and can't identify a specific apk for news and weather I'm afraid so it must be part of something. Otherwise you could just install it and off you go. So far with my S3, I've added the calender, music, gallery and messaging apps from Cyanogen9 to replace the fat Samsung versions, gradually heading to a stock ICS feel, oh, Nova launcher as well.
Just pull the genie apk from Google apps and put it into /system/app

Its named GenieWidget.apk in CM9 ROMs and AOKP ROMs it will work because its based on 4.0
Here it is (extracted from a ICS customrom for the S2):

You have to copy/paste it to /system/app using Root explorer for example.
It's then in the list of your available widgets
Working on AT&T Galaxy Note i717
Thanks for the link and info on putting it in /system/app. It worked instantly on my rooted AT&T Galaxy Note i717 with ICS 4.0.4 ROM.
Transparent genie widget

Install failed on my non rooted phone... anyone else confirm? Thanks for posting the apk .

(if someone could get the pretty graphics for the weather widget that come with the S3 into this News and weather widget - we would definitely have a great widget)

Mine was an apk. You didn't have to flash. And the 4.2 keyboard isn't much different than the 4.1. It just has swype features now and better correction.

I actually was in the ROM itself. Thanks guys. Mods close thread

Aokp + cm s pen helper + s pen helper = s pen features on aosp!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eebkzugsm7ek12s/CM S-Pen Addon.apk <--- CM S PEN HELPER. starts a monitoring service in AOSP ROMs so that SPEN helper becomes functional again!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.spen_helper&hl=en <--- S PEN HELPER WHICH IS JUST AMAZING!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyingbusstudio.snappadfree <--- HAVENT TESTED YET BUT SHOULD BE A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO POP UP NOTE FROM TW!
Interesting...
Side-loaded first apk, now the phone knows when s-pen is detached and reattached but 2nd app (from the Market) is a little goofy. I can get it to either put a link to Papyrus in the status bar when pen detached, or do nothing. Neither is very helpful.
What am I missing?
3rd app is just weird, lol
I can see the potential
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
This is actually pretty cool. I'm on cyanogenmod and I hated how the spen didn't vibrate when it was detached. Now with these apps it vibrates and shows a detached notification plus makes the same sound when detaching(if you have the stock sound files). The third app is nice but it's kind of slow/laggy when you slide it out. I uninstalled it because it made my phone seem slow. If they fix that I will download again
thanks,
dump question, if official 4.2 rom comes out with the spen app for android 4.2, will the spen app be use on the CM 10.1?

No. It relies on TouchWiz.

MIUI is sort of a combination of the two. I don't know how they do it exactly but MIUI is the only ROM I've found that has features from both TW and AOSP.

I seem to remember there was an AOSP rom with TW working recently, but can't recall which one...
I've never tried MIUI, do you guys like/recommend it?

Hello I am the developer of the first 2 apps
I have uploaded the first one to the play store now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.cmspen
And the second one was made for Samsung based ROMs so there were a few UI changes needed to be made. If you update it now it should work fine.
Sorry for the inconvenience
Wow, thanks!

If you could make an app that let's me use HDMI out on the phone, i could say goodbye to Touchwiz forever!!
Both apps now working great! Removing S-pen now turns on the display and opens Papyrus instantly, and closes it when pen is reinserted.
5 stars, and will buy pro version.
Thanks!

Galaxy app on HtC One

Hi,
Does anyone know how i could install the Samsung Galaxy Splanner app (calendar) onto my HtC One ?
Thank you
Greg
if it's not connected to the framework or TW roms then you could try pulling it from a galaxy rom and pushing it to your phone
U cant ot needs the tw framework too

Any version of android with another ui(sense or touchwiz) has it's own framework so some apps are integrated with other apps. Without the framework though, the app is missing integral files that it needs to be able to reference to function.
Which I think is dumb because I'd really like to see the TW music and sms apps work on non-Tw toms.

I like the Galaxy Splanner calendar too. Found aCalendar in Play Store, has many of same features, I like it a lot better than the HTC stock calendar. Check it out.

Indeed I found aCalendar and it has a great UI... thanks for sharing.
I enclose a pack on the Galaxy S4, if people find a way to install all and especially of VoiceTalk
thank you
I don't know what's hard to understand as peiple still go in about this.
It DOESN'T WORK and never will unless you want to port a whole tw Rom... Which most probably won't work either.
