Hi,
Some apps have them (Maps ok).
But some not (Chrome, Gmail).
Any ideas why? How to fix?

Don't know exactly what you mean. Marshmallow doesn't support quick shortcuts anyway. So it's up to Nova Launcher to make them work for older Android versions. Looks like they didn't figure out how to make it work for Gmail and Chrome.

I am thinking of using Nova Launcher, but wondering if I will loose any functionality. Does any one know if this is the case?
Try it and let us know!!

I'm using it. You don't lose a great deal - page buddy and the very nice weather widgets are all I can think of that make a daily difference. All the big features still work, including multi-view.
You get rid of most of Touchwiz though, which is a massive advantage.
@ekerbuddyeker - am trying it, but as this is my first Samsung device (only got it today), and never used any of the Samsung features before; I wouldn't have known if I was missing out on anything. Thanks for your contribution though
Seems to be running well so far. Just reading up on "Page Buddy" to see if I think I need it (Thanks Robster83 for that info).
The main advantages of Nova so far are that I can increase the amount of rows and columns on the desktop. I have just come from Paranoid Android on the Galaxy Nexus and with the large screen and default DPI everything on the Note 2 looks VERY BIG. Also finding the swipe down gesture to open up the notifications useful as my fingers struggle to get to the top of the screen when holding the phone in one hand.
Im using Nova and I think its a better option. I can still get Snote to open when I remove the pen so for me losing page buddy doesn't matter. The extra customization is well worth it.
+1 to nova here, much better than tw
Nova is pretty good although does anyone know how to get the S Planner Calendar Widget working with it? The S Planner Calendar widget is so much more advanced than the standard calendar widget and it kinda sucks for that to be the one thing that gets removed when I use Nova.

PageBuddy does not work with Nova launcher or GO launcher.

SPlanner is built into the TouchWiz Launcher, making it impossible to get the widget on anything else other than stock launcher.

+1
I agree with everyone here. Definetly a +1 for Nova over TW.
But since I had page buddy setup to launch Rocket player when my headphones were attached, it seems as though it is locked into that setting. I tried going back to the TW environment to turn it off but it didn't work
Go Launcher is a better option for me, than any other launcher, I would urge those who haven't tried it to give it a go. Loads of customisation possible and the go ex notification add-on is nice.
In terms of calendar widget. Ive also tried loads and best I have found is Pure Calendar Widget.
+1 on Pure Calendar. Also Wizz widget is fine, also free.
I know its not a calendar thread, but if you have already mentioned calendars, then Business Calendar Free!
I'm using nova for two years. After installing it I immediately delete touchwiz launcher. Best launcher I ever tried.
I just updated to the latest version of Google Play Music and got the new UI, it looks good and everything, but there's one problem, the homescreen widget changed from 4x1 to 3x1 for some reason. Now, It looks crappy and I want the 4x1 widget back. I have already uninstalled updates/force stop/disable re enabled/rebooted, no luck. I don't know why this is happening now 0or if it is happening to any others, but yeah, I thought the play music widget was resizable 4x1, now it is a unresizeable 3x1. Help please! How do I get it back to 4x1?
Rooted Nexus 7, Stock Jellybean 4.2.2
I also have Nova launcher installed so I checked and on Nova launcher the widget was 4x1 instead of 3x1, the correct size it was before I updated the play music app, which can also be resizes on Nova launcher. What could be causing the problem? Should I clear data/uninstall updates/force stop other applications besides the music app (I already tried those things on the music app.) Like Google services, framework, etc?
The top screenshot is the Nova launcher app drawer /widget section, the bottom is the stock launcher app drawer/widget section.

One more thing, I noticed when I go into landscape that on the stock launcher widget section, the play music widget changes from 3x1 to 4x2, and you can see the way it is. Did I do something wrong or is this hot not working correctly?
How do I fix this!?

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 .
I thought we were suppose to have app shortcuts after updating to 7.1.1 on Nexus 6P. Mine aren't there...it just moves the icon, it doesn't even give me the option for a shortcut. Anyone else having this issue?
Never mind. I am an idiot - Google Now Launcher has to be the default launcher in order for the app shortcuts to work on it.
Does anybody know if the Pixel style weather widget on the Nova Launcher home screen works on the OnePlus 5? As far as I can tell I have everything enabled correctly but the weather won't show up. I've read that this feature doesn't work on Samsung phones. Does it also not work on the OnePlus 5 or am I missing something?

Works for me. You have it enabled in the labs menu under Nova settings?

Yes I did. The option to choose to display the weather on the home page doesn't show up unless you enable it in labs first. Maybe I'm missing a permission or setting somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Are you running stock unrooted?
Restarting Nova Launcher from within Nova Settings immediately fixed the issue. ☺
