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 am looking for the same.
Can't find a stock Samsung calendar apk anywhere.
Those from the link are others I think.
Does Samsung have one?

TouchWiz 4.5 cannot use the TouchWiz Calendar widget because it uses a different signature than the TouchWiz Launcher. You must edit a widget yourself and sign with TW4.5 keys for them to work.

Aha, that would explain! thanks.
So Samsung did not ship a Calendar widget with TW 4.5?
Or someone hacked TW4.5 from a previous version?
I really miss that widget.
Are those keys available or is there someone capable of doing this?

I do not have the default rom anymore, but I think there was no default Google calendar in it, it was a Samsung one. And a nice one. The calendar is awesome too and it is still in this rom, but I really miss a good widget for the TW 4.5 launcher.
The Sense one is awesome, as is the Go Launcher Ex one.
I wonder how Go Launcher managed to be able to show Samsung widgets and others, that could mean it could work vice verse too, so use Go Launcher Widgets in other launchers ?

Every application is signed. System applications are signed with Samsung's id and alias (+a password) to prevent people from signing whatever apps they want with Samsung's ID.
Fr4gg0r's TW 4.5 has a lot of modifications, which needs a re-sign, thus rendering TouchWiz Launcher specific widgets, like Stock, Program Monitor, Calendar and a few others useless, unless someone signs them with the specific key that TW4.5 is signed with. Signatures must match for Touchwiz Specific Widgets to work.
If you want Samsung's id key with a modified TW launcher, use my modded TouchWiz launcher, which you can find in my signature.
thanks a bunch!
I can't wait for a landscape supported version .
Thanks for your explanation.
I would also need a way to acquire the widgets, I just found odin roms, they are not easy to extract.
Do you know of some flashable deodexed rom where the widgets can be picked from?
Thinking of all this, it is almost usefull to create my own rom .
Thanks again for your work, I have 'hit the button'
You can head over to Android development section (not original android dev). Wanam has a deodexed KI3 stock build.

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.
I am trying to finish phone setup, its a Note 3 unlocked from att and rooted. Kept having touchwiz problems and found this great launcher but it keeps crashing when trying to add widgets like a clock or sound/mute and others. When I add a widget it comes up 'nova launcher stopped working' and any earlier widgets added are corrupted or messed up.
Really want to stay with Nova prime as the grid setups are very good. Thanks for any reply.

Sorry if this has been asked. I've looked high and low found them on other carrier note 4 forums and even tried them with our verizon note 4. But I can't find any made for our note 4. I'm looking to change my grid size from stock 4x4 to 5x5 or 6x6 anything other then stock. I know I can use Nova or some other 3rd party launcher but that's not what I'm trying to get here. I have a retail note 4 converted to a developer edition and flashed every rom that we have in our forum I always find my way back to jasmine rom. it's all but stock then I add my xposed and tweet it to my liking but now I would like to get more use of my 5.7 inch screen other then what samsung wants me to use. I just hate 4x4 gid so much valuable room wasted. Like I said I tried the other grid packs from sprint and t-mobile but once there in they bug out so I'm hoping someone has made them for our verizon note 4. Any help would be great and thanks for taking the time to try and help..

I'm looking for this as well, has anyone found a 5x5? 6x6?
I could be wrong, but I believe that you can accomplish this by changing the default DPI to something different, while also changing the launcher to something like Google Now. When I flashed CM13, my DPI was different and I got rows of 5 apps by default with the Google Now Launcher.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see that you would like this feature with the stock launcher. Not sure then.

Thanks for the reply, but yeah, looking for this in TouchWiz. I currently use Nova which is a great launcher, but I miss having a few of the TW only widgets.

Hello all,
I am about to get the new moto z play as the seller has not shipped it yet, and in moto z play after coming from htc one m8 with its good sense ui and classic/freestlye layout themes, i will not want to use/keep the stock feel. So I want experts kind help, to tell me some great and importantly lag free launchers/ui paid or free for Moto Z Play ?
Just want to also tell that I will never root it. So no answers on custom roms, etc needed.
Will highly appreciate the answers. It may help many more too!
I love you XDA !!

Some say it is not as good (as it was,) on Marshmallow.
Edit, sadly I just realized wallpapers do not work.
No so, on our phone, albeit has one minor issue not showing all of the bottom row of app drawer icons. So the labels get chopped. For this I have a work around. Folders work, backup and restore and everything else.

Action Launcher 3 Pro is love <3
Stock launcher is actually fairly nice with little to no bloat. That being said I loaded Nova Prime since I had it already and love the tweaks it allows.
I personally use T-UI (called Shell launcher on the Play Store). It is completely different from the stock launcher and is lag free, but unless you like using a linux terminal you will not like it.
Action Launcher 3 Pro, Nova Launcher.
I have paid Nova with a live wallpaper and a white line icon pack to go with my black theme, and even with animations at stock speed and using the transition animations in Nova, it's super smooth.
I've been using Smart Launcher for awhile now.. find it to be really smooth and unbloated

Nova. I believe they have an offer/discount for the premium version on the playstore

Please forgive me for quoting myself.
I do not think most of you realize what a great launcher this is.
Let me count the ways...
Instantly sort apps by date, most used or name
Migrate browser favs which I have saved to many home pages, in various folders, after a FDR or to others phones. This is part of it's backup feature.
It is fast.
You do have to put up with a black only wallpaper and an app drawer that hides some of is bottom row. Which you can work around by touching the icon to see the whole row.
See pics.
Snip rant...
Action Launcher 3 Pro. Without a doubt one of the best launchers I've used and loaded with features. It makes it easy to replicate a Nougat look too.
Commented about lag in another thread on stock rom. Glad I'm not the only one.
If there is any way to make software fast instead of smooth please lmk. Every animation is off and it still chokes on a single factory widget.

Evie Launcher is the best. I think
Evie Launcher is free and adfree.
No lags... light weight with lot of features. better than default Oreo UI
Nova launcher here for the past 5 years fast smooth and very customisable.
