Hello!
Is there any way to use stock launcher widgets (LG app widgets) with third party launcher such as Nova?

Yes it works the same just touch and hold on a home screen and choose widgets and they all should be there you might get a pop up asking you to allow nova to create the widget just click yes

The problem is that those stock widgets don't appear in any other launcher widget tab.

So I decided to upgrade to Soundhound plus, in large part because of the 1x1 ID Now widget. I can deploy this without issue when using the stock Touchwiz Launcher. For some strange reason, I cannot use it with other launchers, so far having tried Go Launcher and Nova Launcher. In each case, the widget list only shows the other (4x1, non-auto-start) Soundhound widget, not the ID Now one I want. This, of course, is an issue, because I want to make use of ID now, but I also really want to switch to a better launcher, one that will allow me to put more content on each homescreen.
Thoughts?
EDIT: A related problem: Pandora widget works in stock launcher but not Nova launcher.
Some widgets are only built for selected launchers. For example the AccuWeather widget only works on touchwiz launcher. And won't work if you use a third party launcher.

Try Apex Launcher it works perfectly for me. Never had one single problem with widgets on Apex Launcher yet.

You can't find it in Go Launcher (and possibly others) because it's a "Shortcut" and not a widget. I have Go Launcher and ID Now is under Shortcuts .
Hey guys!
Is it possible to use transparent stock weather widget with different launchers like Apex Launcher?

Not without a bit of work to mod it, possibly not at all if it needs touchwiz framework. Someone recommended the below clock and weather widget, which is similar and works really well.

Any way to get the stock weather widget and use it with Nova Launcher?
Hi,
In short: nope, it's not possible...
You can try some weather apps on the Play Store that look a bit like the stock weather widget.

The stock weather widget and the calender widget are tied to the LG UI framework. Short answer the user above said, Not possible (yet)

You can use a custom launcher which supports widget resizing. The TouchWiz launcher doesn't support this feature. I suggest you to use Holo or TT Launcher (developed on XDA)

yea .... i am talking about a touchwhiz launcher...
i have a launcher ..but its widget size is very small... but its a good launcher..though it is touchwhiz, it doesnt come with widget resizing option
so thats my ques...how can i edit that widget setting
You can install a modded TouchWiz version (I'm not sure about resizing feature )or install look-a-like TouchWiz launchers like S4, S3 or note 3 launcher. Go to www.galaxyyarchive.info to see. It's a site for galaxy y and you can learn a lot about your phone.

Quick question, on my s6 even with nova prime I had the ability to use the Samsung weather widget.
I'm actually quite happy with how stock touchwiz is but randomly i thought lemme install nova, and go to find the weather widget is no longer available. Has anyone got it to work? Or is the only other choice is to use a different app?
I have the s8+
Many thanks.
Do, I can't use the Samsung Weather Widget when running Nova Launcher on S7. I use Beautiful Widgets and select their time and weather widget.

Xwidget appears to be a different weather widget. How does it solve the OPs problem?

It looks almost the same, he can choose the weather app of samsung to opens with the widget
Thank you for a the suggestion guys, just read on a reddit that Samsung is blocking 3rd party apps. I've been messing with beautiful widgets and for now I'm happy with it.
