This will remove the need for modded apks that are being used on a 5x6 or larger launcher.
I've tested it myself on a modded s5 5x6 launcher I made, but would like to make sure it works for any of the other touchwiz launchers.
I made a resizable Apollo music player. If you currently have it installed, remove the widget first. Then as you normally would resize something, long press on the widget.
When i added it back to mine it automatically went to the sizing box as shown.

I have pulled some Google apps from the latest Cyanogen Mod and tried them on my SGS running Froyo (JP6). They are running fine, so I thought, I should share them with you!
Instructions:
- you can install them like normal apps (just open the apks)
- for car home you'll need to install both apks
- for the desk clock you'll probably also need the genie widget (for weather)
Bugs:
- the music tab in desk clock doesn't do anything (check the 2nd post)
Some pictures:
(BTW: I modified the first shortcut, as well as the 5th one you can choose whatever you want there)
OK, the stock music app is working, but you'll have to replace the galaxy s music app.
Instructions (with Root Explorer):
- Go to system/app and move Musicplayer.apk and MusicPlayer.odex to a backup folder (somewhere on you SD)(if it doesn't work, click the "Mount R/W" button at the top)
- copy Music.apk to system/app
- click and hold until the menu opens up, click permissions and change them to the following:
And that's it! Works now with the desk clock app (but you might want to reboot)!
It's working Thanks
All working great - excellent work!
Presumably to get the normal media player back youj ust do the opposite?

Thanks for putting these in a single post.
yeah thanks for these
PERFECT!!
Thanks to orig poster.
As tony tiger would say, this is gggggrrrreeeat.
or something...
Very usefull applications.
I have also installed these along with the TouchwizGTG modified launcher which lets me rotate my home page, etc.
I also installed the replacement music.apk.
Icons are appearing a little smaller everywhere now and the music player appears......to have smaller buttons etc....
Much faster though than my stock JPM touchwizza.
look nice .
What you see is what you get?
For some reason the weather gadget isn't transparent on my device.
Instead of DeskClok I recommend Alarm Clock V2:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.vp.alarmClockPlusDock
It's based on DeskClock but more configurable and the music tab works with our Galaxy S Music Application
Great trick for having music tab working!
I have clockpackage yet because of chronometer and timer, so have two types of alarm
Can someone tell me why the weather widget isn't transparent on my SGS?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks dude. I'm totally loving this!
One problem though, I have two clocks now - AOSP and Samsungs. Is it clockpackage that I have to delete, or? Thx

Bumpppp
You can just delete one of them... But I like and use both, so I keep them.
Is there any way to get the widget to work right with a different launcher? I'm using lancherpro and it will resize the widget but the widget will not show all the info it should.
same problem.....
Hold on, trying with ADW launcher.
Edit: it seems that it has been integrated in TouchWiz. When you manually extend it vertically in TW you'll see the next days forecast, which doesn't appear in ADW Ex launcher. So you can only have it in the original 2x1 format if you us another launcher than TW.

I'm having some issues getting stock widgets to look right on my Go Launcher home screen.
The problem is that when I change the icon grid to 5x4 in Go Launcher, most of the default android widgets look funny. For instance, the stock media player widget cuts off at the bottom. Instead of having the media controls plus one or two songs from the playlist, it only displays one song and cuts off half of the second.
How can I solve this? I think I need to edit the widget size by unpacking the apk, but I'm not exactly sure how. Any ideas?
I like the stock media player, and would really rather not switch.

Try a different launcher you could go apex or holo launcher i have holo no problems yet.... those launchers let you freely move the widget sizes.
Deleted my s planner widget in the process of debloating my bell 4.1.1 rom. The application still works, the widget does not show up however. Does anyone have a copy of this widget they can upload. Ive been searching for a while and found a old version of it but that didnt seem to work so I am looking for the one that comes with the 4.1.1 release.
Thanks
just download one of the k3 based roms from development and copy them out of the zip file.

Are you sure you deleted it then? The S Planner 4x4 calendar widget only works on TouchWiz launcher. If you use any other launcher (Nova, Go Launcher, ADW, etc.), then only the smaller 2x1 widget shows up. That's because some of the Samsung widgets make use of the TouchWiz framework, and other launchers can't do that.
I'm using ADW right now, but I really like the large S Planner widget. I considered going back to TouchWiz, but I'd lose some other features that I like (like scrolling wallpaper).
So that explains why I can't see some of then other widgets when using nova. For example, I think the weather widget isn't available.

It is infact deleted. I checked the subdir its supposed to be in. I must have deleted it when I ran a debloater. I am on 4.1.1 with touchwiz only and I have root. My data plan isnt very big and im working of my phone right now so I thought someone may be able to pull it off their phone and upload it. Pm me if you are able to do this.
Hello Everyone,
This is not something that I have created, but it is in fact something that I have checked myself and it does work successfully. I am running it now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/themes-apps/4x5-touchwiz-home-t2910243
The only complaint I have is now that I have 5x5 on TW home screen, the widgets that I have on a few pages are made for 4x4 and I cannot resize it, nor center it. Anyone know of any tricks to force a resize or set a permanent resize for each widget?
And yes, I do now that some widgets have the ability to be resized, but not all, so this is one of the ones that is not resizable lol
Ideally, I'd like to see a 4x5 option so that the widgets could be centered, but we still have 5 rows. Just my 2 cents.

He has both on the link
anyone seen or know of a deodexed 5x6 or 5x7 layout to flash ?
why not just use a custom launcher like Nova? It gives all these options plus lots more.

NOVA completely changes the stock weather widget if you use the S5 weather widget and it dont let u use the calendar widget like its supposed to. This is the main and only thing i dislike about Nova.

I agree what about making a 5x6 custom launcher for stock touch wiz that will fit the stick weather widget? Is that possible
