Hi,
I would like to ask you for some help in finding am alternative to the Action Memo widget used under the Touch Wiz launcher.
I'm using APEX launcher and I would like to have a simple widget that will aloud me to draw (scribble) a quick note with my S Pen, just like I do with Action Memo. Because of the launcher I'm using, I'm not able to use the Action Memo widget.
Did you found a solution to this?
Regards,
Stefan

S Note has a widget, not the best though
S Note... S Memo, Cute Memo... can try those - or just try searching play store for something similar to your Action Memo.
Thank you all, but none of them fit my needs.
What I'm looking for its a widget that show a note containing a drawing. The best example is the Action Memo widget, but I cannot use it because I use Apex launcher. Another example is GO Note widget, but this also cannot be used with Apex launcher.
How about you switch launcher then. Maybe Nova or my fav ADW launcher ex.
Or you try searching play store/google for one that fits your needs.
We can't have everything -- but can try ^^.
Good luck!
Action Memo doesn't work with any of them, or any other launcher excepting Samsung Touch Wiz.
I tried to find one and I'm still searching in play store. But nothing for now.
Ok I'm confused... I thought you were looking for a note/drawing app widget.. but seems you want the actual Action Memo widget Air Command that is like Pie Control, that allows you to choose the note or drawing apps?
If that's the case, it depends on the ROM you're on... and you can use a note 3 mod (like in Hurricane ROM or Dr. Ketan's ROM/Mods ... or just get something like Pie Control (I used Pie Control Pro) and add your shortcuts to them.
Not sure if any of those fit your bill - otherwise hope for someone else that can give the solution you're looking for.
Good luck!

I'm looking for an app icon widget for Sense that has the following properties....I have tried what feels like dozens but there are so many I simply can't try them all.
Ability to hide specific apps that I don't want displayed (so, a blacklist not a whitelist)
No text labels
Ability to be clear or at least mostly clear (see the wallpaper behind it)
Scrollable!
Preferred 5 column grid but not absolutely necessary
The closest I've found is the Folder organizer widget, but it doesn't seem to refresh the apps list ever so anytime I add a new app I have to recreate the widget again. Also, the scrollable function only works in third party launchers (not Sense). I have tried Launcher Pro and ADW but not a huge fan.

You have to remember that sense is closed source, so it can only do so much. Most widgets that I've found have extra functions for 3rd party launchers such as the ones you've listed.
If you want to hid or get rid of apps, the only way to do that is to hack-uninstall the apps (from what I've been reading around here). Not sure about being "clear", could you be more clear with that? I'm guessing you want transparent widgets?
You can use Desktop Visualizer to help you with your hidden text labels. I use that in combination with folder organizer and launcher pro. Launcher Pro is pretty well designed IMO. It does what sense does, plus more and there's a lot of widgets that seem to support it. You should take a look at the Launcher Pro screenshots created here, there's a lot of excellent customization that I believe will meet your demand. It's possible that you haven't found the look you want that will be efficient for you.

Thanks for your thoughts. Does LauncherPro have scrollable email and agenda widgets like Sense? (I know it has messenger although I don't love the implementation...)
I just flashed Calkulin's E4GT v2.0. It's incredibly, insanely fast and I love it, but that's besides the point. I like the Touch Wiz launcher, but I don't like that I can't (to my knowledge) change what program each icon loads on the bottom of the screen. But I LOVE the agenda widget, the one with the calendar that has things scheduled for today on the bottom. Then there's Launcher Pro. I love that I can change what the icons open, but then I don't have access to the widget I want (to my knowledge). Does anyone know if it's possible/how to fix either of these problems? I wouldn't mind keeping Touch Wiz and just changing which app it opens, if I had a choice, because the icons are brighter and look better
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Never mind, found my solution!

But if anyone knows if it's possible to use the calendar widget with launcher pro, i'd love to know how!
I found this link that will allow flashing of the GS5 Touchwiz launcher and Accuweather widget for non-TW Roms. I'm test driving now with SlimKat 4.4.3. Two things to note:
There are separate downloads on separate posts on that thread for the launcher and the weather widget.
I had to use this process to remove the error "Not installed with permissions needed for binding widgets" when trying to put the Aqua Mail counter on my home screen.
Be sure to thank the developers on those sites.
Probably goes without saying, but make sure you do a Nandroid backup before flashing. I saw where one person got stuck in bootloader after flashing.
The one issue I've found is that the menu function doesn't seem to work with this launcher -- can't change number of screens or which one is the home screen...unless I'm missing something.
There is a launcher in play store called Galaxy launcher which is basically what you are talking about. It gives you a lot of customization options and its pretty cool. I have used it for a while and I can say its pretty good.

Yeah, there are a few out there. The one drawback is that the GS5 accuweather widget linked above requires an actual Touchwiz launcher. The S5 launcher above is a little buggy. Some S4 launchers and widgets are available here. The S4 launchers will support the S5 widget.
Friend i could not put in my rom based stock 4.4.2.....you will know why
I switched to Google Now Launcher and for the life of me I can't find the Weather + Pedometer widget to add to my homescreen. Is it baked into a TW only feature?
Touchwiz widgets will not work in another launcher.

Which is why I always scratch my head when people buy a Samsung device and run a third party launcher. The Touchwiz widgets are awesome imo.

All the touchwiz widgets work with apex launcher. To add them I have to make 5x5 columns and rows, or it will say no more room on homescreen.

Seriously doubt all of them work... can you add a action memo to your home screen as a widget? Does it give you the thumbtack to pin them?
I have several samsung widgets working on Nova, specifically S-Note, but the s-planner widget doesn't even show up in the list of widgets that can be placed.

I also use Apex and can use most of the Samsung widgets including pedometer and S-Memo widgets.
Does anyone know if the Briefing Page(FlipBoard) can be used with another launcher such as Nova?
If how is that accomplished?
Thanks
Probably not since "Briefing" is something Samsung got together with Flipboard to create an exclusive extension of the touchwiz home screen. If anything like that would be available, it would be a widget or through another third party homescreen- but not nova.
Works for me on nova
