Ive just released a widget pack ( search for miromind - widgetpack ) to the market which contains:
An application dock widget (4x1) which can have as many shortcuts as you like and can be browsed directly from the homescreen.
Clicking on the widget will give you an easy manager which allows you to add applications and all shortcuts like contacts, bookmarks etc and arrange them how you like.
And it contains a clock designer widget (1x1/2x2) which allows you to easily create your own personal new clocks by selecting the graphics for the clock dial and hands.
Just bought this. This is something I was def looking for. I like it so far. Have 2 running on main screen. Nice.
Sounds useful. When XDANDROID works a bit better on my Diamond, I'll consider buying.
So where is the download link than i can try it
can't find it in the market

I've been playing around in the sdk for a while now and I'm not so good at programing or anything, but I did manage to make a few clock widgets that I would consider very nice looking (I'm somewhat decent at photoshop).
Now, I know how make an apk with the widget, and I'm pretty sure I know how to put multiple widgets in a single apk (although I haven't tried yet)
I have noticed that some apps that have more than one widget (like google voice, or twitter) will say "(2 widgets)" underneath the name and allow me to choose which one I want after click the name.
How would I implement this in my own app?
summary:
I want to create a pack of clocks (4 clocks). on the widget menu it'll be called "clock pack" (I haven't thought of the name yet) and when you click on that it'll give you a choice of which clock you want, each clock with a unique name and possible a unique icon; would it be possible to give each a unique icon?
thank you in advance
Did you ever get an answer to this? I have been attempting to include several clock faces with my clock widget also but can not come up with any workable solutions to allow the user to select the clock face.
What are the best Weather apps or widgets, of any variety and quickly why?
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!
I'm compiling a list of threads that will help people find the best apps/widgets of each category. Will recompile when done so your help is greatly appreciated!
Looks like Beautiful Widgets will take the win here, but I'm sure many will want another app/widget that's free.
weather bug--free
For Weather you are spoilt for choice.
Besides what has already been mentioned there's:-
eWeather HD Widget & Barometer ~ £1.85
Palmary Weather Pro ~ £1.85
Weather Pro ~ £2.13
Go Weather ~ Free
...... and many, many others which I will leave for someone else to add to.
i used optimus x2 weather widget..
its called today briefing..
I'm by no means well-versed in weather apps as I'm only starting to play with them, but these are my observations so far. Accuweather has nice icons that I like but keeps force closing on me. Hope that will be fixed soon. Genie news and weather is good too, you can choose to display just weather.
Beautiful Widgets is my choice. Fully customizable with downloadable skins for Clock, Weather, Battery widget, and Toggle Widgets.
Press the weather area and it will launch your choice of Weather App *I use WeatherBug Paid (I try to support if its a mainstay)* the Radar can be slow though but it works..
Press the Time spot and will launch you choice of Clock or Alarm. *I use Gentle Alarm*
Press the Date area and will launch your choice of Calendar. *I use Jorte*
All of that is customizable. For instance if you wanted to you could config it to launch Angry Birds on press of any of above or any other app or shortcut of your choosing.
I love the Animated Weather effects. though last week during Snowpocylpse here is Chicago area I thought the drifting was a bit overkill... LOL
I played with an Acer at a local store and noticed that the various Home Screens have names, like "Entertainment", "Communication" etc (or something like this).
I'm wondering if it's possible to give each of the stock home screens a name so that I can organize apps into different categories. When scrolling from screen to screen the name would be displayed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
LongTrail.
the easiest way to do this would be to just use a custom widget maker (available on the market i believe) and just create a widget with the name of the category you want and put it on each homescreen. that would be the fastest way to accomplish this.
That would certainly work, many thanks for the suggestion.
There's an app Called desktop label I use, it might be what you need
i used an apps called Make Your Own Clock HD
it's free, and it got amazing feature to create custom text widget to do what u describe
minimal text
I did this on my Transformer. I used Minimal Text Widget to label each screen and then used multiple live wallpaper to give each screen a different set of wallpapers.
I have a home screen with weather/email info etc. and a link to browser.
A Tech screen with market and system stuff.
A Media screen with video/reading stuff.
and a Games screen with games.
I used desktop visualizer to make the icons on each screen look nice and folder organizer to make groups for games and emulators and such.
I can upload screens later but here is a link to something similar to what I am running except on the nook color.

Thanks Folks for all the help. I will take a look and see which idea gets me to where I want to be
Hey, I'm looking for some awesome, handy Widgets for my galaxy note and want to see what everyone else is using.
Post your favorite Widgets and even a screenshot, and show off your androids home screen(s).

Best widget ever is CalWidget, it lets you add yours lessons shedule to home screen or just all events in calendar. It. Is. Awesome. Another useful widgets are: Resizable Sticky Notes (just write any text in it and keep it on homescreen), Ultimate Custom Clock Widget (as the name says), Battery Widget? Reborn! (best battery percentage widget I have found in market).
Guys, I just came across this great piece of software called Widget Window.
You can use it to create floating windows of any existing homescreen widget. It also places a convenient link in notifications where you can get your widgets in and out of the screen. Plus it´s free with no ads. Really recommend it.
Widgets I´m currently using:
Application Monitor - to replace the missing taskmanager from JB
Assistive Light - quick access to a saving torch anytime
Genius Widget - convenient Scientific Calculator (better than stock calc and themed to fit my current homescreen)
Stick Notes HD - quick post-it time of notes as S-Notes should have
Very handy app thanks
sent from my 10" electronic note pad

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Very nice. I was asking but I just figured it out :
It is possible to resize the floating widget (click just above the floating widget's title bar). There's also a well made help in the app's menu.
