Android Woe

[xox]

So, Android eh? Great OS, surprisingly more complete than any other mobile OS in my opinion. However, there is one thing that I despise in Android.

This thing is simply in the app menu; a simple aesthetic thing. This is beside the app menu, there is the widget menu. Why would I want to add a widget to my home screen when I am in the menu which selects which app I want to use? It really doesn't seem intuitive. I use Nova launcher and this is driving me crazy. It doesn't make sense to be honest.

Is there a way to get rid of the widgets menu?

In Nova I believe there is, also an option so you cant accidentally scroll onto the widget page. Stock launcher I dont think so.

i think widgets are supa usefull when im trying to get to stuff without opening teh app looking for something closing it its long and painfull

 

best example is the weather widget

[Guest]

Yes, in the TouchWiz UI they made it so that you cannot scroll into the widget section. Apart from that the S planner widget is awesome on the home screen.

Why do people gripe over the most inanimate things?

It's because the stock launcher doesn't have any other way adding widgets to the home screen. Some other launchers use a custom app drawer that don't include widgets, but honestly who cares? Just don't scroll over to it.
