Does anyone know if there is a replacement or a way to activate the Settings Widget? I have no idea why Samsung would remove it from Androids default widgets. Several 3rd party apps available but they vary in their capabilities.
Tnx
Pixel or Nexus 6 or Galaxy S7
Unfortunately the settings widget is gone. I don't think that there is a way to activate it.

Good day,
Is there a way to lock the layout and remove some of the pages? I only use 1 page and do not want the icons to change on my homescreen. but when I search all I can seem to find is the damn lock orientations junk that is over talked about on the web. Can someone tell me if that is coming to the nexus 7? is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? Or, do I have to install a different homescreen app?
Thanks in advance,
supersobbie
Nova Launcher Does exactly what your looking for.... Nova prime is awesome on the nexus 7
I figured out how to enable lock screen widgets and all examples show lots more widgets including a calendar widget. I have no calendar widgets of any kind liste. Any ideas?

Ok, does anyone have the calendar widget listed in their options for lock screen widgets
No I was just looking to do this as well. I'd love to have the 5X5 samsung widget on the lockscreen.

Friend figured it out. Need to install a 4.2 compatible widget. Simple calendar widget does it then it appears. I wish the review sites would mention what they install so we don't pull our hair out thinking something is missing.
How do you add a settings shortcut for battery and wifi manager on the home screen? I've been scouring through the widgets and nothing seems to appear, normally with all other phones a "settings" widget is available and you get to choose which settings you want a link to.
Thanks

i was using the galaxy note ii for a while and loved settings widget/shortcut. i moved on to the galaxy note 3 on a different carrier. i also have sm-n9005. both note 3s do not have the settings widget. it is frustrating. what i recommend is installing action launcher by chris lacy. it will add 2 widgets to the widget launcher/menu. choose the activities widget. the list of apps and settings that populates is more extensive than the note ii's version. there you can add bluetooth, data usage, wifi, and tethering one by one. after creating all the shortcuts i needed, uninstalled action launcher. remember to keep touchwiz as your default launcher in the beginning of the process.
(on a side note, action launcher is great. i even purchased the pro key. however, i just don't like the way apps look in folders. in addition, 1x1 widgets do not align properly with regular app icons sometimes. as for 4 row widgets, it automatically adds margins/padding so they look more align with other same sized widgets. some 4 row widgets on touchwiz go edge to edge which is annoying. in regards to the s pen features, air command did not pop up on action. honorable mention, shutters is a great action feature. last mention, i don't use action on the note 3.)
Anyone else? Every 3rd party Lockscreen I've ever used on any TouchWiz phone all have the same behavior. Much of the time they work great. But randomly when It turn on my phone, it goes right to the desktop. No Lockscreen comes up.
And once in awhile, the stock lockscreen comes up instead of the 3rd party lockscreen.
And if I disable the stock lockscreen, then still, the 3rd party lockscreen won't come up once in awhile.
Anyone know of a way to make 3rd party lockscreens more reliable?
I've tried converting them to /system/app and it didn't help at all.
I'm currently using Locker Master (really neat) because it hides the status bar and I love that feature.
I also use Widget Locker Pro and some others such as C-Locker. All have the same issue. I had the same problem with my Galaxy S4 and probably phones before that.
Any suggestions?
Hello everyone, does anyone know how to activate the dynamic clock and calendar app icon on Samsung galaxy S8 on apps drawer. My phone is not rooted and I have desperately looked everywhere to activate, but I cannot find the answer anywhere. I used to have it in my old S4 and S5 in Kusham ROMs but I don't want to root the phone yet as is only one month old any help would be much appreciated. Note please I don't want alternative like for example Nova launcher or any launcher at all to use.
