NOVA Launcher and Galaxy S4

[mvp285]

Hi all. I'm new to Android so bare with me. I got the GS4 this weekend, decided to install NOVA launcher. I like the Story album, S health on Touchwiz, but for some reason those widgets are not available when I switch to NOVA Launcher. Can someone please help? Thanks!

Not sure about Story, but s-health is a Samsung proprietary app, so they may have made Touchwiz mandatory.

Meyer I just checked and the answer you gave the OP is right. Touchwiz is mandatory.

There are several widgets that are mandated by TouchWiz. The Accuweather app on my S2 and S3 never show up through Nova. Small price to pay for a better launcher.
