What's the name of the stock Touchwiz Weather/Clock widget?

[PsychDoc]

Can I use it on my home screen using Nova? I can't seem to find it in the widget drawer.

Weather. Wouldn't you have to switch back to Touchwiz?

I saw on the g+ nova board that you can still use it. Just ask on that board but the tw weather app is terrible compared to apps like weather timeline. The tw app is basically just a link to a website.

The weather widget will only work with TW, as far as I know and I tried all tricks I knew. But today, in another thread here it was mentioned that there is another app that allows for a widget very similar to the original one, I did it and it looks very good. Look for Digital Clock Xperia on the Play Store.

What about downloading the Samsung weather widget apk over on XDA?

You guys aren't exactly making me want to try on Nova on my GS6. Why do you have to go so many places for widgets? Tried Nova back on my GS3 but switched back to stock.

Don't know about that, I haven't seen that post over XDA, I'll take a look to see if I can find something about it, thanks.

*update *

Yes, I've used that one before, it's based on XWidgets, when I tried it first I didn't like it, and I don't have the patience or the skills to do it from scratch, but the latest version that is available now, looks a lot better, almost identical to original, so I'll use this one for a while to see how it behaves, thanks.

I downloaded the latest version from Aatif from the thread on XDA forums of this widget based on Xwidget, and then edited it a little because the alignment on some text fields weren't right and some words were cutted, so here it's the results, if it wasn't for the first digit on the hour that when the hour is single digit it shows 0 instead of nothing, this will look just like the original.

So, if some of you with any third party launcher instead of Touch Wiz, would like to give it a try, just download Xwidgets from the Play Store, then download this zip file from here, and then uncompress the folder into your Xwidget\Widgets folder and then open Xwidget and in the Local option click on the 3 dots at the top right corner and do a Refresh list, you should have it in your list now, then just add the widget to your home page and once you have the widget just click on the line that says Updated and it will show you the options so you can customize your settings.

It will look like this.

After downloading from the thread on XDA forums the latest version of this widget based on Xwidget, and then edited it a little because the alignment on some text fields weren't right and some words were cutted, I think I managed to get the closest version to the original widget, if it wasn't for the first digit on the hour that when the hour is single digit it shows 0 instead of nothing, this will look just like the original.

Looks awesome. Love the folders. Like the editing. Would love to download the widget without all the work.

Why can't we use any widget with any homescreen launcher, stock or third party? Rhetorical question I am sure.

Because samsung wants you to stick to their launcher, most likely. This is a samsung widget, so if you want it you have to use their launcher. This has been the case for most phones though

Dude, nova is the best, if you don't try it you will never know.

I updated the OP in the other thread to show the latest and last version I'll do, if you want to get it, it's available from here also.

Hi, I downloaded Accuweather from Play store but I can't see the clock widget you have posted above.

Could you send play store link of the app please?
