Help KitKat Launcher for Note 3 Supporting Widgets?

[Brian Philbin]

Hi -

I'm hoping to find some expertise that can point me in the right direction, here.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 w/KitKat (4.4.4) from Sprint.

I love it and *mostly* love the interface. I hate, however, the dock, which doesn't center the apps drawer.

In experimenting with different launchers, I've found that none of them support the Widgets that came with the phone - most conspicuously, the lovely Time/Weather widget resident on the original, center screen.

I enjoyed launchers in the past because they gave me a bit more choice with regard to the overall look & feel of the device, but when I've installed most of them (Nova, Launcher 8, Aviate, etc. Buzz is cool, but wants far too much access to my phone).

Any suggestions for a KitKat launcher which will give me the option to modify my Dock as I see fit and still allow me to use the Weather widget?

Anyone who can lend their Android proficiency to this question would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Pax, harmonia,

Brian G. Philbin

I don't think you'll get a Launcher which will do that, sorry.

The inbuilt widgets will only work with the default launcher. It's the same for all manufacturers, Sense Widgets will only work with the HTC Launcher, Sony Widgets with their Home Launcher etc.

Would any of these work as alternatives: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.ezweather.widget.oxygen
