Put LG widgets in third party launcher - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, is there a way to put LG health and smart notice widgets on third party launchers? I am thinking in apex launchers, which is the one I am using now.
And in case it's not possible (or needs root, I didn't rooted yet), is there a way to open LG health app if you are not using stock launcher? I can't find the app icon in the apps list.

If you're using Nova Launcher,
Hold somewhere on the desktop
Add
Shortcut
Activities
LG Health

I don't think that it's possible to use the widgets but the app itself works. Its a shame I reaalylike it
I'm listening in if anyone has a fix

I would love to see. LG Health widget or app

There is a way to use Google Now Launcher and probably any other third party launcher and use LG Health. You'll have to download an app called Anycut which creates shortcuts. Create a shortcut and choose 'activity' and it'll let you choose LG Health. Smart Notice is unfortunately not possible yet...but I'm sure someone will figure it out.

I wonder if there is possibly some sort of hack to get the LG widgets into other launchers. I really like the calendar widget and the weather widgets are nice, too. They're the only reason I use the stock launcher.

I agree, I like the stock Weather widget and would love to be able to use it with Nova or Action Launcher.

BUMP...
I'd like to know this too. I like having an email widget to use with LG's built-in email app for my various non-Gmail accounts. However, I cannot use the widget with Nova launcher. I was able to use Samsung's email widget (w/ Nova) on my prior Note 2 device.
Can this be done if I root?

Hi, I'm waiting for the same thing... put smart notice on nova launcher... no idea?

did anyone find a solution for this?

Up....
Anyone now?

How about now? Lol.
But seriously, I'm really surprised this hasn't been achieved with ANY stock launcher widgets. Back when I had a Razr HD, the circle widget was one of those on the wish list, but never happened also. The closest resolution was to find a "clone" 3rd party app.
Does anyone have a "technical" explanation as to why this is not possible?

Landscape view on homescreens.

Can this be done? Is it on in ROMS other than stock? Why would it ever be disabled anyway.
Use apex or Nova launchers. No idea why anyone would stick with the touch wiz launcher
There is a mod in theme/mod section, but it may not work with ota.

That's it? It's the stupid touchwiz that causes this issue?!

Worked!!! It's called "Ultimate rotation control"
I like the Nova launcher too...it's very fast. But I somehow lost the Accuweather time widget when I went to Nova. I tried to get it form the market but it doesn't look the same. Wife's phone so I can't justify changing the appearance that much for rotations sake. Otherwise, if I could have put the same exact Accuweather widget back on, I think I would have left Nova on.
Edit: Spoke to soon. Ultimate is only free for 7 days.
2nd Edit: Found another one called "Rotation locker"
I like Holo Launcher HD. No lag, customizable, more options (like auto rotate) plus you can still use the Note 2 touchwiz widgets if you want.

I tried the Holo launcher and still couldn't find that stupid accuweather widget. Sigh.
I ended up going with Novo launcher and finding a different weather widget from the Playstore.

That's what I did. I changed over to Nova Launcher and also Fancy Widgets to use a weather clock/widget.
I did like the Weather clock on Touchwiz but what bothered me was , having used HTC Sense for quite a while, I am used to touching the time and going to the alarm, but with Touch Wiz, no matter where I touched, I'd goto weather.
I used Apex launcher on stock. It helped until I got a phone call in my car with the phone docked. The Phone app doesn't want to rotate! :/
If you're rooted....check out the MOD TW 360 rotation
I'm running rooted deoxed TW with multi view and the MOD worked fine.

I have another widget I found which is very very nice. I don't think it let's you go to alarm by touching the time though.

Fancy Widgets let you set what program got called depending on what you pressed but I couldn't find a widget that I was happy with.
I ended up using HD Widgets and and used one of their weather clocks. While it doesn't let you specify the programs for where you touch, it has a very nice weather page built in(even allows you to select int weather ino provider) that works when you touch any of the weather and goes to the alarm when you touch the time.
So I'm using Nova Launcher, HD Widgets and also Android Pro Widgets for things like a Timeline widget(I was using APW on Touchwiz too).

Nova Launcher widget problem?

When I try to use the widgets from LG, like weather and memo, they don't load. It will just show "Problem loading widget". Any thoughts? I just really want the memo widget lol. I am rooted btw.

I had the same issue. I'm thinking it won't let them work. But if anyone knows how I would be much appreciated.

I think LG is doing the same thing that other oems do in forcing you to use their launcher with their widgets. Except I think LG isnt hiding their widgets so they just don't load on other launchers

The launcher shows the widgets but it doesn't load.

I know what I was trying to say is other oems hide their widgets LG isn't but. I can bet that nova is missing some required features to run LG widgets.

Any way to get TW Calendar widget to work on Apex?

My wife and I love the TW calendar widget. Its nice to have access to the entire monthly view from your home screen instead of just an agenda. We both run Apex on our Roms. Is there a way to get it to work with our launcher?

I have the Apex Launcher (free version) on a stock rooted Note II. I didn't notice the widget, so I just put it on my home screen. O.K., I only see the Event Viewer, not the full Calendar. I changed many settings on Apex. Nothing worked. Sorry I wasn't able to help, just confirm.
This isnt possible. It will only run on touchwiz based launchers. I know, it sux.

Stock LG G3 Weather/Clock Widget

I like the stock launcher's weather and clock widget so don't want to lose it when moving to another launcher. How can I install that on a new launcher? I've tried zooper's widget and it doesn't scale properly.
I wasn't aware that any third party launcher could run stock widgets.

This is the only reason I use the stock launcher. I especially like the calendar widget.

How to get stock widgets on other launcher ?

Hi
I just recive my LG G3, really cool phone, but i got some little freeze on the stock launcher, so i download Nova Launcher.
And i can't use stock widgets like weather, music app, diary...
It's really annoying, can we do something ?
Thanks
Nobody know ?
You cant.
Stock widgets work only in stock launcher.
Yes, it's a shame that you can't but it's true. You'll have to find alternatives. I use nova as well and I have all the widgets I need.
Maybe someone here can offer an alternative to the one you're looking for. What widget do you use?
For example I use the LG Music app or the weather/clock widget who is very cool. On a other launcher we loose the LG design who I really like !
