Having only just updated my OS to B394 I have a European FDR L09 device.
Before this update Twin App did not play nice to 3rd party launchers ie it would not create the short cut or Launcher for the Twin App in my case second Whatsapp only from the EMUI Launcher.
Now today just notice within Nova Launcher 5.5 beta 2 the Twin App launcher for the second Whatsapp 2 now appears and works and in the App listing a second Whatsapp with number 2 within the icon now also appears along with its own data size and info.
So those of you that may of used 3rd party apps to create a Twin App Launcher in a 3rd party Launchers can do away with this for now well at least in Nova Launcher..

Apologies if this has already been posted.. The latest version of Walkman (8.4.A.1.4) appears to finally allow use of the Walkman Widget in third party launchers, and on custom ROMS, something previously unavailable, which was incredibly annoying if, like me, you use Nova or Apex. Adding some widgets to my launcher, I spotted the Walkman widget in the list and it works perfectly. I'm currently running CM11 with Nova and finally have access to widget, so if you've been missing it, or trying to use third party widgets, it's now available regardless of which launcher you use.
I can't confirm if it works on Stock with a third party launcher, but I can't see any reason why it shouldn't,, perhaps someone on a stock based rom could confirm.
It's nice to finally have the widget available, so thought I'd pass on the tip!
Yup, it works on any rom with any launcher. The only difference is that stock roms still have the MusicWidget.apk so you practically have 2 widgets to choose from on stock Sony launcher.
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.
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.
I'm thinking of getting the 6T but have a few queries.
I like the gestures but do they only work on the stock launcher or do they work ok in nova launcher for example? I tried the mate 20 pro and the gestures didn't work well unless the stock launcher was used.
How much customisation is in the stock launcher? Can app names be edited or flow into 2 lines? Can you make folders, what size grids are available etc?
And finally can you change the shelf to be the Google feed instead?
I'm using the gestures with Nova. No issues. T-Mobile 6t
The gestures are OS level, not launcher level. I'm also using Nova with my own custom launcher gestures and I've had no issues with inputting either sets of gestures.
Gestures are working with nova, but not as good as stock:
-on stock, when you go home, animation shrinks into an app icon
-on nova application shrinks to the center of the screen. Also homescreen icons are present on this animation, while nova appears when it is over. I hope, they will fix it.
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.
