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.

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 .
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?

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)
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.
Why are the animated icons of clock and calendar apps not working?
The feature was introduced back in Adnroid O, and it doesn't work with default launcher, but works with third party launchers like Nova Launcher.

Blame Nokia, This launcher is based of NBBLauncher which is more feature rich launcher found on chinese devices. The new, stock nbb launcher based launcher has many features missing like app slices, actions etc.
