I've upgraded to 4.2.2 a week ago and i find the upgrade worth it although there are some bugs and a little lag involved.
Anyway, i get to use the new feature in android ----> lockscreen widgets. But this new feature is very limited and pretty much useless in my case. I already use the camera from the physical button (no need for 'swype to right' widget). On the left side i would like to use a flashlight widget (teslaLED) or the sony notes widget which i use often but none of them are available for use in lockscreen widgets list.
Both apps have widgets but they do not appear in the lockscreen widgets list. Really frustrating issue.
Is there a solution to make these widgets work on lockscreen?
Do you know a flashlight app who's widget will work on lockscreen as well?
I'd use Dashclock + applauncher + dashtorch. Dashclock is a full screen widget that adds alot to the lockscreen. applauncher can be set to allow any program to be launched from the widget. Dashtorch is a flashlight with it's own widget and a plugin for dashclock.

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 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
I do say that the best launcher with customization is Ofcourse Nova launcher.
Nova launcher beta version is now Google companion supported. It will soon roll out for Stable Nova version.
Nova vs System Launcher
[Nova launcher]✓
1-App drawer
2-Change Grid
3-change dimensions
4-Widget resizing overlapping.
5-Custom folder options
6-Backup and restore Configs
7-App drawer Configs
8-Desktop Configs
[System Launcher]✓
1- Lite weight Ram friendly
2-Clean UI
3-Minimal options
4-Supported with Themes
5-beautiful Setup
Some screenshots here with some themes.
Actually System Launcher takes more RAM than nova, both are good in their own features.
MIUI launcher also has live icons for Clock, Calendar and Weather app. Almost all the launchers have live Calendar option now but if I remember correctly, MIUI v6, v7 or maybe both also had seconds display along with hour and minute hands on the clock app icon. That looks pretty if you ask me
I've used Nova launcher before. It's nice. Lots of customization. However. I am using the default MIUI launcher now and I honestly don't miss Nova.
System Launcher
I am more stock admirer so nova hands down... I actually have only one page in nova and launching most apps with appdialer. I use launcher page mainly for some informational widgets and shortcuts
Nova all the way, light and well performing
Nova its customizable, you can turn off / Block screen with Double Tap. Also support 3rd party beauty icons. The bad Thing is some widgets like clock do not work properly.
MIUI stock its very good and support a lot of beautiful themes. Pretty widget and Wallpapers but you can put apps icons by alphabetic order.
smart launcher is way better than both of them, i really dont understand why it isnt more popular
No way default launcher of mi can beat nova...ecen stock Android launcher is better than mi home launcher...After buying a mi phone the first thing I did was to install Nova launcher.
And for the second choise use Buzz launcher
System launcher

I use this Lock widget in MIUI launcher on every screen, quite handy if you ask me.

pls share the link of the themes u have applied ?
I liked Nova Launcher but i like simplicity of Evie Launcher. It has double tap lock and supports different icon packs available on playstore. Give it a try. One more thing is its Free and Ad Free. Enjoy.
I like Nova launcher for the fact you can edit truncated app names, and scroll the dock plus other things. The ONE thing MIUI launcher has in its favor is the Quick Function Widget has a toggle that will turn Mobile data on and off directly without going thru the settings. Thats a big plus for me, but you cant edit app names, or scroll the dock Its a real shame that you cant directly toggle mobile data on and off with nova or power toggle, like you can do with Native MIUI launcher
