Google Sesrch Bar (Samsung)

[philliplavelle]

Hey folks.

Random question, but I have just purchased a Note 8.

Have installed Nova launcher and even though I know you can customise the Google search widget to kingdom come, I really really like the style of the search widget on the stock Samsung launcher. It's kinda thinner (height wise) and looks nicer.

Nova allows you to resize the width but not the height.

Anybody have any tips on how to get the search bar looking like Samsung's version (without using the Samsung launcher.)

Also, how to get the Samsung weather widget on Nova launcher, which sadly disappears if not using Samsung's version?

(Before anyone suggests using Samsung's launcher, I want Nova's other customisation options.)

Thanks all in advance.

You lose some Samsung functionality with other launchers.

I ditched Nova prime for Samsung's stock UI and have never looked back. part of it was also not being able to use the stock search bar and weather widget. I like how the weather widget changes with some of my themes I use.

For weather on Nova you have to enable the "labs" secret menu. Long press your volume down button while Nova settings menu is up. Then you can access the labs menu. Check it out

Appreciate that but this is the weather in the Google search bar.. what I'm talking about is two separate widgets. But thanks!

Never was able to get Samsung weather widget with Nova. Sorry. Don't know how to help with that one. I like the Samsung weather widget as well.

Zooper widgets can make the widget, or just about any widget.
