How to remove "Widgets" option from "Apps"?

Does anyone know how to remove "Widgets" option from "Apps"? My phone is a S3 mini and runs stock 4.1.2.

[Q] Missing option to enable widgets.

My Huawei Ascend P7 runs Android version 4.4.2, EMUI 3.0.

I'm unable to setup widgets on my lockscreen (swiping left/right just unlocks the screen), and there is no "Enable WIdgets" option in Settings > Security.

I read this thread, and tried downloading some new themes, different from balance, but the option still doesn't show up. I tried changing lock screen methods as well (Huawei Unlock, PIN, ...) but still no trace of the option.

Any hint? My goal was to have Google Calendar on lock screen (pretty much like what happens on Windows Phone), so I'd be fine with a work-around as well.

Thanks in advance.

Widgets Freeze

Hi. I have noticed that widgets do not work properly on my brand new Moto X Play. You can add a widget, but it appears frozen and the content does not update or allow interaction. If you modify the widget size, it will stretch the image of the widget, again failing to update the widget. Depending on the widget, it will bring you to the app of you tap on it, but sometimes even that does not work. Deleting and replacing widgets makes no difference. Using Nova launcher appears to fix the issue, although I have not tested this for a period as long as an hour yet.

This seems to be a widespread issue across many phones, including Samsung and Nexus phones, thus is appears to be an Android issue more than a specific Moto issue or a hardware issue. It is possible it is a Google Now Launcher issue specifically.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know of a fix? I have yet to find one other than rebooting every hour or so (or possibly switching launchers). The leading theory is that the widget process is being kicked out of memory. The scary thing is that this bug has been reported as far back as Android 4.3, although I never experienced it on my SGS3 with CM11.

Thanks

Widgets look small...

Hey guys!

I have a question regarding the widgets on stock TouchWiz. The widgets look really small and I can't resize them to look bigger. I've installed nova launcher and the widgets are sized normally on there. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've attached some screenshots so you guys know what I'm talking about.

[Q] Widgets like OPO's Shelf, HTC's Blinkfeed etc.

Is there any possibility out there to make a custom Shelf page for, say Nova Launcher? Like put widgets in a vertical-scrolling page, making a custom Shelf/GoogleNow alike thing? Maybe a "scrollable widget-container" to put widgets in? If not, maybe I might just given you a million dollar idea (patented dont even try lol).
Anyone?

[Q] My widgets are becoming unresponsive

I have my phone setup something like this using zooper widgets:

Each icon is actually just an image with a link to open the app in the widget.

It has worked fine without problems for like, I dunno, 2 years i've had my phone and been using it like this?

But sometime in the past 3-4 months, the widgets have just started becoming unresponsive. I press an icon to launch an app and nothing happens.

I've tried re-creating every single app-link on each widget, I try restarting nova launcher, tweaking the nova launcher widget settings, nothing sems to work.

I can only restart my phone and then there's a 50/50 chance that they will work again as if nothing was wrong to begin with. But then an hour later, after doing nothing on my phone, they might just suddenly stop working again.

I'm at a loss to explain this, can anyone help? I just can't figure out why this is happening at all.
