No S note Widget in TouchWiz Launcher also I do not have pin icon while in Action memo so I cannot pin action memo to desktop, do I miss something?
Oh yes I'm on N910c from Thailand
Baseband version ANJ4
To minimize the action memo go to the 3 points on top right ☺

Nope... what I meant was to Pin action memo notes to Desktop exactly like in this video , the Pin symbol is absent on my Note 4
Anyone else has this issue?
I just spent the last hour or so trying to figure out how to get this back. I had this functionality but now it's gone. I just pinned two note this morning and now i can't make the widget that is circled. Verizon note 4.

So......
Ok just by having nova launcher installed disable the pining feature of the s note.
Just having nova installed and not in use kept it from working...really strange but once I uninstalled nova the feature came back

Touchwiz has the be the default Launcher to work.
Thanks for finding this out! uninstalled Nova and after reboot the option appeared. Reinstalled Nova no PIN symbol but the pinned note is still on homes screen, seems like bug to me.
its an awesome widget but nova is nicer. Too nice to give up.
The Action Memo is not like the one from the Note 3 the widget is smaller. I have Nova Launcher installed and everything works fine for me. Action Memo is tied into S Note now no more Standalone widget
In my GN4 the only way I can make the "pin to desktop" icon in action memos appear is by installing Google Now Launcher. I don't mean, though, action memos appear on Google Now Launcher home screen but just to have it installed in your apps without even using the launcher. In my case it immediately shows the "pin" icon in SNote action memos.
Hi! Today I bought Nova Launcher Prime... Loved it!
But I'm really missing the action memo pin widget.... Is it a nova launcher limitation? Does it work with any other launcher other than touchwiz? Maybe it's a touchwiz-only functionality, restricted by Samsung?
Thanks!
No..action memo widget is missing with lollipop so don't think about to get it back. It is merged with s note. I miss too.,that easy and quick writing memo widget.

Hello,
I always use a gesture "one finger pull down" to pull down the notification shade, but it is not working for me on the S8 has anyone noticed the same?
I am currently using action launcher 3, but none of the launchers seem to do it for me.
Update, action launcher has been updated and it works now.
Yes. I have the same issue.
Settings > Advanced Features > Enable "Finger Sensor Gestures"
it's working for me, clear your fingerpring and try.. .... mine is S8+
It's not the fingerprint sensor that's not working it's the gesture on the home screen of pulling down. Normally I can swipe down anywhere in the home screen and pull down notifications and quick actions. Right now I have to get my finger all the way to the top. I have tried making the gesture a double tap as well as a two finger pull and nothing works.
I have exactly the same issue! I submitted a bug request with action launcher, in case its a problem with that app. Perhaps you should do that too?
It's not the app. I'm fortunate enough to have Verizon which still allowed the Bixby button to be remapped. (the first time I'm actually happy they are slow at rolling out updates lol). That being said I remapped that button to open notifications and its fine. However using Nova launcher which uses what I assume is the same accessibility interception doesn't work. Hopefully a work around is found so this phone is more usable with one hand.
Definitely an issue with 3rd party launchers and the s8 fingerprint sensor

I have the same issue. Guess i have to get used to use the fingerprint swipe, until they fix it.
Working for me as well.
Did you activate launcher's service in settings>accessibility>services?
Its disabled by default, you have to enable it in the settings, but to be honest, that feature is useless unless you are missing fingers on your hand. and youll end up smudging your camera in the process.
Yeah sure did... Still mot working
I have the same issue using Action Launcher 3. I also have the app ticked in Accessibility.
Everyone who is saying it IS working is misunderstanding the issue. It's not a case of swiping the fingerprint sensor not working, it's a case of launchers that use shortcuts to access the notification shade. For years, I've used Action Launcher 3 where a single finger swipe down OF THE HOMESCREEN brings down the notification shade - that doesn't work anymore. And given the height of the S8 duo, this is the time we need it the most.
It does not work because swiping up/down now brings up app drawers. It is by design. Maybe try disabling app drawers a la iOS style?
You just need to enable Action Launcher in Settings->Accessibility scroll all the way down to services.
(I hope those is the right names, my phone is not set to english)
Looks like Nova Launcher Prime does work for me as long as Accessibility is activated so this problem is mostly just a Action Launcher problem. I remember at one point he moved away from needing accessibility to utilize this feature and maybe its default setting is to not utilize it any longer. I really want to stick with Action Launcher so hopefully the developer will come through with the old way through accessibility.

Ok found a solution but its annoying. If you have Action Launcher and Nova Launcher (Prime may or may not be needed) you can still use action launcher primarily but you'll need to utilize Nova Launcher's action short cuts. So here goes...
1. Open Action Launcher Settings
2. Go to shortcuts
3. Go to swipe down
4. Assign single finger to "Shortcut" > Nova Action > Select Expand Notifications in this menu.
??? profit

GENIUS.
I found another solution as well! works very good.
Install the app "drop down status bar"(WangQi) from play store and then use this app as a shortcut for that gesture you want.
Since I cant install s8 weather due to package error, but I still wanna use s8 look, and default weather application, is there any app or something that I can use to open samsung s7 stock weather app (when I click zooper widget)? When I choose click event in zooper app, there is no option to system default weather app, so is there any app which can help in this?

If i remember rightly its because the weather app does not appear in the app draw....
Unfortunately in the S7 Weather Settings there is no option to show the app in the app drawer..
The option is there in the S8 weather Settings though which kinda sucks for you in this situation since you can't install the s8 weather app.

Congrats! hope my method will still serve you in the future, you can link to any other activity with it so you can make a widget for anything if you just want to play around and test what activities are possible you can browse in the app itself and select a service and select "try" it will load that service... if you like the service it loads repeat the steps for weather just select the new service you want instead
Sample :
if you use Twitter you could use the same methods to create your own personalised widget that automatically opens twitter at the post a tweet page or facebook to go straight to posting etc

I confirmed that this same method works in KWGT also. When choosing the tap action, choose "Shortcut" and then choose the Nova Activities at the top of the list and find the Weather Forecast as described above.
hi guys,
i have a question about an icons pack, when i use it with my launcher, everything work normally but some icons, i don't like them and if i open the icons pack app i find that there are other icons for example icon for "Phone" app there is 8 different designs and settings app has 6 other designs ...ect. but how to change the default one by the other in the icons pack app ?
i hope you understand my question.
With Nova prime hold and drag any app too edit on the top of the screen. Then in that box that pops up just selecting the icon picture will bring you to the icon pack selection. Then from in there the individual icon you want. I'm sure most launchers work in a similar manner. Just look up your launcher on google or youtube and how to change individual icons will get you a tutorial.

Enable developer options and can change the icon shapes.

I figured that just want to throw it out there just in case you where. Yeah that's not possible with a stock launcher as I mentioned before if you can invest in Nova launcher Prime. You can virtually do everything you've ever wanted to do. It's even easy to replicate pixel launchers if you want. And as mentioned in my previous post change each apps icons to whatev

Hi,

Laucher use is Nova launcher
Regards,

Can you confirm that fingerprint option is still available on the lock screen & security tab in settings?

Not to me, that option dissappeared after update.
Okay, download LG bridge and back up your stuff, then factory reset your phone by shutting down your phone then booting into recovery mode.
If you don't know how to boot into recovery, watch this video:

Did she have the same problem with Nova Launcher on 7.0?
If you use doubletap to sleep screen on Nova Launcher, you cannot use fingerprint to unlock screen. Open Nova Settings, scroll to very bottom (Advanced), then select Screen lock method.
Crying...
Nothing happens after factory reset. The problem continues. I use stock launcher LG UI 4.0 and my fingerprint sensor died.:crying::crying:
I'm having the same problem. It worked for me a couple days after I installed Oreo but after a time I restarted my phone the option to even set up my fingerprint to unlock my phone disappeared
For those who still have fingerprints in youre settings...
Double tap your status bar at any time to lock the screen instead of tapping a home page on your launcher, will allow you to use fingerprint sensor to unlock...
But to more directly answer your questions, the below quoted post already tellls you how to avoid this problem. Its caused by 3rd party apps such as Nova Launcher using 'phone administer privileges' to lock the screen. But as the above poster states you can change the method nova uses to lock the screen. Some launchers tho such as Shubbys Ruthless Pixel launcher do not allow for an alternative locking method, and afaik there's no way around this. This is not a bug nor is it exclusive to oreo.

I'm having a problem with Nova Launcher and it not being able to load a couple widgets, the widget just says problem loading widget when I put it on my screen. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps and Nova Launcher to no luck, the widgets load no problem on TouchWiz launcher. The thing is I am on the sac23 ROM and I've asked over there I haven't gotten an answer yet, but I have no problem with Nova and widgets on any other ROM that I have installed, so something is going on in the sac 23 ROM, but I'm curious if anyone has had a similar issue and might know what the problem is and how to fix it is?
Thanks
I got the same problem with Sac23 ROM as well.
Cant find the fix anywhere

I have the exact same problem suddenly with the Evernote widget and Nova Launcher, except that I am on the stock ROM.
Is it the problem in Nova?
I have the same issue with evernote and nova. Did a factory reset on stock rom and no luck. Using Oneplus 6.
