Help Buzz Launcher: Few questions about customizations

Hello all,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Verizon and I am playing around with Buzz Launcher. I really like it but there's a few things I can't quite figure out how to do (as compared to TouchWiz, the default launcher). Does anyone have any ideas?

1.) Notifications for missed calls, texts, emails, etc... aren't showing up yet I have them configured to do so.
2.) I added a widget for the Google speech search app but I can't say "OK Google" anymore for it to launch.
3.) The Accuweather widget looks totally different and has a lot less information.
 
1.) The unread counts are launcher specific. Some launchers need add ons. For example, for Apex launcher, you need the Apex Notifier app to get the unread count bubbles on the app icons. Not sure on Buzz as I've never used it.

2.) You need to activate Google Now in the settings to be actively listening. You don't need a widget for that.

3.) The weather widget on TouchWiz is a TouchWiz only feature. It's part of the launcher. You can get another one in the PlayStore, like Beautiful Widgets or HD Widgets.
 
Thanks for the reply. I've managed to get "OK Google" to work by telling it to activate on any screen and the 1Weather widget is what I was looking for.

Does anyone know how to get notifications of missed calls/texts/etc... to work in BuzzLauncher? I still haven't been able to get that working.

AccuWeather has a free and paid app as well which both come with a few widgets you can use.

Also the stock AccuWeather from Samsung/Tiuchwiz widget is still available on my Nova Launcher it's just called "Weather"
