its a good launcher i like it but some reasons i dont use it.
for ex some widgets do not work properly. they look not like on apex or nova launcher.
and not all the widgets can be resized.
can it be modified as such?

I remember i read somewhere that if you clear the launchers default it will ask you if you want to launch holo or the manufacturers overlay of android when you go home. Can i do that to my tab with ics?
Just the launcher? That doesn't work on every device, In fact, I think the only device that ever did it was the EVO 4G, mainly because HTC left the other launcher in there, which is uncommon. You can always install Trebuchet (not on Google Play), Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher. The three are based on the original 4.0 launcher. My personal favorite it Apex, it's the smoothest of them all and it feels like you're still using vanilla.
How can I get the accuweather widget to work either out side of the touchwiz launcher or to make touchwiz launcher have settings like nova launcher does? Is there a touchwiz that is heavily modded that the accuweather weather work on?

Would love to know this as well
Using Nova/Apex very few widgets appear. There's no calendar or weather widget, for example. It seems any LG skinned app doesn't have a widget option unless you're using the stock launcher.
Anyone else getting this?
Hi,
It's the same thing for everyone. With Nova/Apex you can't have the stock widgets, it's the same thing for Touchwiz, Sense, etc... overlay. With another launcher than stock you can't have the stock widgets like weather widgets, etc... (exept for some Touchwiz widgets but it's another story).

Thanks, so, is there any way to get them to work? I really like widgets like calendar and notes!
Right now I'm currently running nova launcher on a new note 3. Unfortunately I dont like the launcher other then the fact that I can adjust the grid size (5 apps down) and that I can change the icon theme. Other then that I don't like it as much as the stock touchwhiz. I'm wondering if anybody knows a plain launcher that just leaves everything running as stock except for grid customization and if possible icon themes. Thanks!
Nova, as well as Apex, are Vanilla Android launchers. They stick closest to the Stock Android experience. As plain as they get.
What you're looking for is a Touchwiz inspired launcher. (About as far from plain Stock Android as you can get.) Try S Launcher or Galaxy Launcher.

Im using Albe95 LolliROM 2.0 S5 lollipop launcher..
anyone help me how get 6 icon hotseat and 5x6 appdrawer and home screen
The stock Touchwiz launcher isn't adjustable like that, not without completely tearing apart the launcher and rewriting it. Someone has made those modifications, and you can download the result here. If you don't care too much about Touchwiz, you can also use Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher. Both allow you to customize the screen grid.
