So my question is a little different than the basic one I've seen answered here ("can you use stock widgets on 3rd party launcher")
What I want to know is... if I uninstall them as system apps then reinstall the apk as a regular app will the widget show up on Nova Launcher? Really missing the LG Health widget and LG Weather widget.
Thanks
I really doubt it, those widgets are hard coded to the stock launcher if I am not mistaken.

does anyone know if this is possible, i would like to use adw but still be able to use the standard samsung widgets,
No. Samsung widgets are part of TouchWiz launcher.
Yeah i tried this myself and mole, samsungs widgets are exlsuive to its launcher. I always said if its part of the phone's software, it should be able to run on any other home replacment with scrollable widget options.

i only need the buddiednow widget, i wonder if you can install it as a regulart APK and if then it would show up on ADW.
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.

This is exactly what I wound up doing. Loving Apex so far.

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 .
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)
Hello.
Is there any way i can remove the google search bar from the home screen of the yotaphone 2 without root and with stock launcher ? (any to "simply" uninstall it)
Thanks
I'd like also and don't want to root. I used Novalaucher to remove google search, but there were problems. Many things had disappeared! So, I came back to Google launcher
I'd also like to know if this is possible. I'd rather not have it on my home screen.
I also hate it. Maybe installing some other different launcher?
There's an option in nova launcher for this but I haven't tried it on the yota. It works on every other device I've tried though.

I've installed Nova launcher, removed the google bar and changed the menu color to AMOLED-friendly black. No issues by now

Things did not disappeared, when you change launcher, and Nova Launcher is a Launcher, all the widgets and so on are removed from the screens, you have to activate your widgets on the new launcher, you apps and widgets are still there, you just have to configure them on the new Launcher.
Nova Launcher is actually one of the best launchers, you can actually make a backup of your widgets and icons arrangements with it, Arrow launcher is also very interesting.
Keep in mind, when you change launcher you widgets locations icons, etc are reseted, so if you want to try a new launcher, you have to backup the launcher settings, Nova Launcher and Arrow Launcher has a backup function built in, Google Now launcher does not, you can use Titanium BackUp Manager to make a backup of any app and it's settings, including Google Now Launcher, but for that you would need Root.

Thank you. I'm using Nova launcher from years on different phomes. I don't remember what happened with Yotaphone.
I ordered a new one and make trial again.
Since I don't like the fact that there is no app drawer in the stock launcher I've downloaded a handful of launcher but none of them will run a weather widget correctly. I've tried several Widgets with the same result. So I either have a 3rd party launcher with no weather widget or the stock launcher with no app drawer.
