LG Stock Widgets on 3rd party launchers - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, before anyone says search or that manufacturer widgets dont work on 3rd party launchers, i'm aware of that. However, I also haveanlg g2 that is running a slimmed stock based rom with Nova launcher and I am able to add lg widgets. For me it is mainly the calendar widget from lg which I typically prefer over others I have tried, but given the similar platform if they work on the g2 i would think they could work here.
I personally think there is something a little off with permissions maybe (and maybe a dev can help) because the other odd thing I see is that the stock lg apps show the default 'bugdroid' icon in 3rd party launchers and show the real icon in the stock launcher. In fact, for Novaif Itry and change the icon it actually shows blank placeholders where email or calendar would be listed (see screenshot)

Smart launcher free and pro is able to show all LG app icons. Solo launcher also supports LG icons too.

Thanks for the heads up on those two launchers. I gave them a shot and you're right they work, I wonder what it is that is different with them? Any ideas? I'd still like to know why the stock widgets are accessible on the g2 and not here for Nova though.

So far I've only tried it on ICS+ based roms and on the following devices: GSII, GSIII, GNexus and Tmo Note II. Worked on all.
Oh man if only this (circles widget) worked with Apex launcher. That would be fantastic. Tested on JB it is working but only with the Moto Launcher, which I really don't care for. Anybody know how to "fix" the circles widget to work on other launchers?
Sorry only way to get a widget similar to this one is to download the "One More Clock Widget Free" or the paid app in the playstore and choose the chrome circle clock skin.

Awesome thanks. That'll do.

Are there any ROMs that have the Motorola Circles Widget?

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any ROMs for sprint sgs3 have the Motorola Circles Widget. I assume the launcher must be from Motorola as well to get them to function but I'm not positive. I know there are apps, like One More Clock, that have fake circles, but I'm looking for the fully functional flipping/interactive circles. Screenshot below to show what I'm talking about. Any info is appreciated!

Yeah still haven't found any that are interactive though. There's a ROM for AT&T that allows you to choose the RAZR M launcher which comes with them. So jelly.
Interactive how?
Because theres Rings digital weather clock which looks exactly the same

I found this but I hvent tested it yet.
EDIT: With limited testing, I really like this launcher, but it needs more refinement before it'll be my daily driver. By that I mean it lacks the polish I expect from a finished Android app. And It looks like it may be abandoned-ware. For now anyway, I'm sticking with FiredTV.

Change the Touchwiz app drawer icon.

It started with edgarf28's amazing Pure Edition Touchwiz rom. I wanted to change some of the Samsung app icons and the horrible looking app drawer icon. Easiest solution would be a 3rd party launcher but I didn't want to mask the Touchwiz launcher, I actually really like it. So I located the APK where the app drawer icon resides and edited to look like the picture above. Keeping Touchwiz "untouched" I downloaded Galaxy Icon Themer (Pro, for the support). It lets you pick individual custom icons from icon packs and assign them to apps. Taking it one step further I extracted the icons and made some size adjustments in Photoshop before loading them back into the device and assigning to each app.
TL;DR
If you're looking to change the app drawer icon, the APK is shown below.

Power Menu -

Here is a little holiday weekend gift for everyone.
Since we don't yet have a built-in custom power menu, here is a 6 way power menu
which can be used to replace the stock built-in power button completely so we can
reboot download mode, recovery mode, power down, soft reboot and screen off
without the need of the usual 3 finger salute. It even looks like it's part of the firmware.
You can add this power menu to your home screens. (this is not a widget)
Here is the download link for it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347809104
Install it like any other apk... Requires root access.
Here is a screen shot of what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Good luck!
Thanks for this. Works good.

The icons works with most 3rd party launchers like Next Launcher 3D,
Nova, ADW, Action, Smart and Go Launcher.
However it will NOT work with the stock touchwiz launcher at all.
Personally I like the Next Launcher 3D the best.
You need to get the "Cobalt Icon Pack from the playstore to get it working.
Here is the direct link for the "Cobalt" icon pack at the playstore in case you
want to check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.icons.cobalt
Good luck,
Have a great day!
